Character Information
City Name: Haika Landvik
Sex/Pronouns: Male; he/him
Age: 57 cycles
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Occupation: Combat trainer, survival trainer, harborer of runaways
Orientation: Bisexual, monogamous, hard to get
Body Type: Six fulms 8 ilms/215 ponze. Haika is lean and fit with broad shoulders, a thin waist, and long legs. Even in hot weather, he's somewhat fluffier than one might expect outside of the mountains.
Complexion: The Veena is shockingly pale all over. Depending on the season, his hair may bear more brown and gray than during the winter months. His eyes are barely pigmented red. Being so fair-skinned, he bears dark smudges under his eyes and bruises easily. His hands are roughly-callused and scarred.
As a survivalist, scars are to be expected: he has numerous minor scars on his arms and torso. None of the visible scars appear particularly consequential.
Style: True to his nature, Haika tries to blend in with his current environment. He is unlikely to stick out much from whatever crowd he attends. Still, his leathers are high-quality and perfectly fitted.
Strengths: Forced to choose any port in a storm, one would do well to choose Haika. Relentlessly even-tempered and hunter-patient, he is difficult to rattle and slow to anger. He is a gifted survival and combat trainer, firm but fair. He is good with children, charming when he wants to be, and surprisingly warm for such a cold-looking man.
Weaknesses: Haika's patience, when it eventually runs out, does not taper; it snaps. As such, some may consider him to be particularly cruel after a point. His quiet nature, often attributed to still waters running deep, poorly conceals insecurities about socializing after many cycles spent either in solitude or in brutal training with young wood warders. He's trying to overcome his fear of commitment.
Brief History
Taken into the slopes as a boy, Haika learned his trade on the job. He fought, he survived, he killed so that he could live. Years turned into decades, the young Veena grew up, and he translated his own brutal training into similar for new generations. What brought about his change of heart and subsequent defection is not immediately apparent. He is often accompanied by a jumpy young Rava male, though the nature of this relationship is difficult to pin down.(OOC note: I prefer character histories to be revealed during the course of roleplay.

OOC Information
Roleplay Preferences
I typically allow character information about my own characters to come out through roleplay. I will withhold character spoilers for others to uncover on their own (though all information in this profile is public knowledge).I prefer long, in-depth plots with multiple characters and character types.Dark and difficult themes (violence, horror, and all the things that go along with them) are a favorite, but let's check in with each other if we're pushing boundaries.I particularly enjoy black market/underground, religious and religious corruption, and gang/group-focused RP. My characters are available for many styles of plot, though I ask that you be courteous and discuss with me any plans.
About the Player
My name is Jules; I'm located in the Eastern US timezone. I've been roleplaying online for over twenty years. I'm heavily involved in 18+ fandom and writing communities.Preferred pronouns: They/ThemTypical availability is evening-based during the week and evenings + late nights on the weekends. I am available regularly on Discord (and enjoy chattering throughout the day in accordance with my workload).I'm not a lore elitist and do not mind (and, in fact, can really enjoy) engaging with creative lorebending characters. Characters who completely destroy the lore, however, are unlikely to get much traction.
