Physical Description: Sul is defiantly no oil painting. His nose is bulbous and crocked from multiple breaks. His hair is a dark thatch which tends to dry out easily and become brital and breakable. His chin is fairly non existent and merges with his neck, though the look is softened by his scruff of pubic like beard he is diligently growing out and trying to maintain.
Hair on other parts of his body does not seem to struggle in the same way and his chest already had a thick shag on it which pokes out over most of his shirt collars. His eyebrows are heavy and dark on a protruding brow, over dark eyes and a whole family of spots and teenage acne he had somehow still not grown out of.
Luckily no one is likely to tease or bully Sul about his unfortunate looks because he is almost hitting 7ft and still has a few good years of growing left to do. His arms are as big around as some men's waists and well muscled. He doesn't have the abs of a pro body builder instead a bit of belly sticks out but it is only a thin layer of fat over more hard muscle. The body of someone used to doing hard physical labor.
He has strength and endurance to show for it and fists like a pair of fresh hams.
Personality: Sul has the look of a bruiser and slight scowl furrowing his brow. But honestly, that's just his face. If someone can see beyond his looks and approach him they are likely to find a warm and welcoming greeting and even a hug. Day to day on the street you'd be hard pressed to find a nicer or more giving man. Sul wants everyone to be happy and is always willing to go out of his way to help a stranger in need.
In fact he is rather a bleeding heart and is not afraid to disintegrate into a blubbering mess at a good sob story. He wears his heart on his sleeve and wears his emotions all over his face. It is not in him to be deceitful or fake. He hates lying and always makes an effort to take people at face value and put belief in them.
This can cause problems as it also makes him rather naive. Someone with a bit of brains and the right sad story hook can often wrap poor Sul around their fingers and make him dance to their tune without effort. This is especially true when it comes to pretty women and girls. More than once he has been dragged into trouble because of this. Women have used him to beat up old boyfriends that jilted them. 'Friends' have used it to use him as a muscle and thug in various schemes. He always thinks he is doing the right thing at the time. Even after he finds out painful truths he often clings to his original narrative. Finding it hard to accept he has hurt people that didn't deserve it or were the real victims from the start. Life is easier when it's a bit more black and white.
This also plays into Sul's long held hearts desire. He so badly wants to be the hero. The shinning knight that wins the day, the caped crusader that always gets the girl. He wants to protect people but more than that he wants people to look up to him, praise him and tell him he's done a good job.
He is thankful for his size and strength that allow him to play body guard and throws himself into any opportunity to live his heroic dream. Want him to get your cat down out of the tree! Don't worry he is on the case. Watch out, let him push you away from the runaway heard beast! Even if the actions put him in danger his desire to be the hero is stronger than his need of self preservation.
It is also why he has never shied away from using violence on 'the bad guys'. sometimes that is just what is needed and as long as he can justify it to himself he won't loose a wink of sleep over it.
Positive Trait List Warm, kind, honest, Heroic.
Negative Trait ListUnflinchingly violent, naive, Easily manipulated. Bleeding heart.
History: Sul grew up in one of the poorest cot holds of Nabol and considering the state of many of Nabol's poorest communities that is saying a lot. Life there rotated around the mines and the small surrounding farms that kept the people there from going hungry. Their local mines lacked many of the precious gems that had enriched the hold proper and instead they focused on metal ores for every day objects. But perhaps because of the hard ship the people that called the hold home had a strong sense of community. They all looked after each other and most people were related at least by marriage to the other large families in the area.
Because of that no one starved, everyone pitched in to help those that were struggling which contributed strongly to the building of Sul's moral code. Especially because his mother made use of the communities generous spirit after Sul's father died from miners lung.
Even with help buying food could still be a struggle and she always made sure that her beloved son was fed before her.
So Sul was poor but his upbringing was a loving one and the children of the cot hold were all like his brothers and sisters. But Teito was Sul's special friend. He was a firebrand from an early age and bringing with more chrisma than his tender years would suggest. He was never content by the simple and humble life they lead and he enchanted the other children with stories of what the major holds were like. How the lords lived and the riches that surrounded them. His family had been servants to a great lord before they moved back home to be closer to family. (And away from an abusive task master) So Teito knew.
When the other children came of age and were drafter to start working in the mines or on the farms Teito ran away. He was going to make his fortune and tried to drag his large friend along. Sul believed him but also didn't have the heart to leave his aging mother. So Sul stayed and started his life in the mines with the rest. It was dirty, hard and demanding work but Sul's natural bulk and size helped him from the start.
So Sul's life settled into a routine for several years. Dull, constant and monotonous work.
Until one day Teito returned.
He looked much the same as when he left, a little taller, a little more scruff but he had all new stories. He had struggled those years on his own, toiled more than his home town brothers in the mines. And he had a message. There was no way out, no way to get rich in the holds. The deck was simply stacked against them. If you weren't rich or well connected you couldn't even play the game. The lords made great profits off the backs of the miners but they didn't care! None of them cared how bad the miners lung pandemic was effecting them. How they could barely feed themselves when the harvest was bad even those their tables were always stacked.
Teito was angry and passionate, he called on his home town brothers to join him in taking back some of what they so rightly deserved from the fat cats at the top. Most of the cot holds people walked away at that point but Teito had enraptured others. Sul included.
That was the start of Sul's life of crime. Teito wasn't all talk, he was smart and he had survived being away from his home by becoming an excellent con man. He wasn't foolish enough to hit the lords were they lived but every few weeks Teito would lead his followers away from their small community to the seedier sides of life. Brothels, spars and gambling dens frequented by the wealthy.
Most of the time Teito played the con to separate them from their money, other times, they just acted like high way men. ambushing them as they traveled.
Of course the lords and ladies often had armed protection but Teito and his gang had numbers, the element of surprise and Sul's hammer fists.
Sul never questioned what they were doing because after each Heist they would return home with their riches and share them out among the hard working families he considered his brethren. Besides the uncaring rich and wealthy lords deserved it for trying to crush them in debt an taxes. They were hero's, Robbin hoods.
It couldn't last. Teito had picked out a particularly fat prize at one of the brothels, but the old wealthy merchant had been smarter than the boys con and avoided it's trap. With his pride stung at being out maneuvered Teito gathered his gang to pull one of the usual road robberies. Sadly the old merchant had also been warned of the bandits on the road and had tasked additional hidden hidden escorts to shadow him beside his regular guards. Teito lead them all right into the trap. The jumpers got jumped and in the ensuring fighting Teito was killed and several of their number captured. only a few escaped. And since Sul had been a trusted right hand to Teito, it fell to him to lead them away to safety.
With no where else to go they went home. Once the community learned of what happened there was a wave of panic and grief, Not only for those lost but what if those captured gave them away? The Lord holder might punish them all for being a shelter to the bandits. Since their hold mine was less valuable and less watched that was the obvious hiding spot. Only those that worked their truly knew the maze of tunnels and passages that made up the mine. But it wasn't a long term solution.
Once some time had passed and the heat had died down the cot hold started to move the young men of Teito's gang out one by one and send them to other mines. Letting them blend in as young miners in search of richer Veins and better pay. It broke Sul to leave his mother and his home but if he stayed he risked them all.
Sul happened to end up at a cot hold that had a firestone mine. A stroke of luck which allowed him to be searched by a young delivery rider and taken back to HR to stand.
