PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

Boasting a lean, athletic body of average height, unruly hair as black as midnight, and brilliant acid green eyes; Deacon could almost pass for a true Adelan if not for his pale skin. Well, his pale skin and rather elegant facial structure, but elegance does not imply femininity. There is a slightly aristocratic handsomeness about his face, with just a hint of an alluring darker beauty.

The vibrant, almost venomous green eyes are framed by long, thick lashes as dark as his hair, and they hold a tenuous balance between expressive and mysterious. His dark eyebrows hold a very pronounced arch, adding a depth of character to his facial expressions to rival his full lips. His teeth are very white, straight, and he is in possession of slightly pronounced fangs that are only truly evident when he grins.

Deacon has a few unusual physical traits to mention; the first being that his eyes, while unusual in color and intensity, look fairly normal most of the time; however his pupils can contract into vertical slits, much like a viper. The other truly notable aberration to his human appearance is his tongue. It is quite the interesting feature, to be sure! His tongue, much like a snake, is forked, though otherwise human in appearance the appendage is far more dexterous than a human tongue and can be extended further from his mouth. He is quite capable of flickering his tongue out like a snake to scent taste the air.


PERSONALITY

Never the kind to take shit from anyone, except of course his twin sister. Deacon is impulsive, brash, and straightforward. Not at all a real schemer, he doesn't tend to have ulterior motives. He says what is on his mind and doesn't beat around the bush. His tendency for bluntness can get him in trouble at times and makes it difficult for him to make friends, because let's be honest, not everyone can put up with someone like Deacon.

While his line of work is quite physically demanding and he goes about it with a great amount of vigor, Deacon would much rather be lazing about, conserving energy, and indulging himself in general. What might his favorite indulgences be? Food, wine, and women, of course, with his stronger than average senses the experience of eating and drinking are a great deal more pleasurable than a normal human – if it is good quality. Deacon only eats and drinks extravagantly. Peasant's swill simply wouldn't do.

His sense of touch is highly advanced as well, making the pleasures of the flesh all the more entertaining. Strictly speaking slaves and whores do wonders for this purpose, but that's not to say that Deacon doesn't have an appetite for more refined feasts of flesh, it is just that he's no damn good at being witty, charming, or flirtatious. Perhaps he is simply too straightforward for flattery, and too much of an impulsive brat to be witty. With no ability to charm the skirts off the ladies he is forced to rely on slaves who cannot say no and whores that are paid to say yes.



SKILLS

Deacon has trained all his life to be a hunter of humans. His unique qualifications, including enhanced speed, strength, and senses make him particularly good at tracking his prey. He is very well trained in combat, both unarmed and with daggers, light swords, bows, and crossbows. In addition to those useful skills, Deacon can produce potent neurotoxic venom, which he often coats his blades with. Depending on how diluted he mixes these concoctions, they can simply paralyze for a short time or completely shut down the nervous system of his victim, killing them in minutes. He can also "talk" to snakes.


FAMILY, FRIENDS AND FOES

Desire – His twin sister, his best friend, his rock, and his source of eternal torment and temptation. Deacon is fiercely jealous, protective, and possessive when it comes to his twin. He holds a forbidden lust for her, and though he won't act on that lust, it is something he contends with constantly. If he can't have her, neither can anyone else.

Aurelius Thorpe – The slave trader who raised him and taught him many of his skills, certainly the man responsible for his profession. Technically speaking Deacon and Desire were considered this man's wards, but he was not a very paternal man by any means. The twins were certainly above the slaves, but he treated them as assets, tools to be forged to his greatest benefit.



BACKSTORY

Deacon and Desire are orphans, at least as far as they know. Aurelius never spoke much of their parents other than to say that their father had been a colleague of his in the slave trading market in Southern Adela. They were only spared being sold as slaves themselves because...they don't really know why Aurelius raised them instead of just profiting off of selling them to someone.

Deacon was trained from a very early age to track down slaves that had the audacity to run away. Desire wasn't really trained for anything, she was a very spoiled and demanding child and even Aurelius was content to let her be that way. For the lifestyle they were raised in their childhood was mostly uneventful as far as being raised in the slave business.

There was an incident when they were still fairly young, only thirteen or so, that Aurelius caught Deacon and Desire behaving inappropriately with each other. Deacon received the blame for the incident and was punished severely while Desire was simply scolded not to allow her brother to kiss her or touch her in such a way.

As they get older they only become more and more independent of Aurelius as their guardian ages and becomes less capable of maintaining the trade. Deacon's skills at tracking and hunting are becoming a bit infamous, and his reputation is spreading beyond Adela while Desire's reputation as a untamable vixen does the same.
