M'sat Tia
My original plan for Sato was for him to die early of mysterious causes and be a vessel for me to make friends and get involved with the RP community with a 'starter' character before I decided on a real main.Â
This backfired and Sato turned into said main.
M'sato was born and raised in a tribe with a particularly brutal, Spartan way of life. He was brought up tough, capable, and vicious, believing he had to be that way when he faced the world or else risk being stomped over while everything he cared about was taken.
Then he began to hear voices when he was fifteen.
His perceived madness cost him his potential place in his tribe, and eventually it led to him being ejected from the tribe entirely, where he learned something of humility and empathy.
Things happened, he learned he was a Hearer, he fell in love, he got blown up, he got rezzed at the last minute, and his life spiraled out of control where he couldn't reconcile what he believed he should be with who he actually was. Then he basically lost everything and kept losing it until very recently, where he's just sort of begun to stabilize.
Sato's good points are in his cleverness, his hidden sort-of-maybe-kinda gentleness deep down, his loyalty, the experience his travels have given him, and his ludicrous amount of determination. Seriously, he never knows when to quit, and most of the time he keeps going even though he knows he shouldn't because he is simply afraid he wouldn't get up again if he finally lays down and admits that it's all over and he's lost.
His bad points are that he's a dick who has no idea most of the time how to sit down and actually tell people things. He argues constantly, to the point that he almost always gets into fights with people whom he's trying to sit down and get closer to. His dickery is something he is making an actual effort to resolve, at least in the things he says and does to tear people down, but he's still got a ways to go.
Overall, Sato is a lonely soul who doesn't know where he belongs in the world, and most of the time he holds himself together with nothing but resourcefulness and grit.
Solomon Laguerre
Solomon was originally designed to be a lighthearted, pervert drunk who was secretly a hardened killer when on the job. I swiftly found that to be annoying to roleplay and redid him as a merc who is 'retired' after a long and brutal career, and now manages a bar.Â
He's 'adopted' the bar staff as something of a surrogate family, and while he revels in creating chaos and sex jokes, he is the first person to spill blood, violently, if something disturbs the peace he's made for himself.
These days his womanizing is largely curbed by his "Something more than a friend", Eraiya. The two have a somewhat open arrangement, but Solomon is loathe to push hard against its constraints. I wouldn't go so far as to say he's now a one-woman, settled man, but I'd say that he's found a place he feels is home.Â
Now he's digging in trenches to defend it.
Solomon's good points are his wits, his skill, his confidence, and his flexibility. He's always ready with a retort, and always ready to flirt and play. Cross him or threaten something he cares for, though, and he's quite willing and able to ram a dagger through your arm and pin you to a table until you beg him to let you leave in peace.
His bad points are his bloodlust and a general unwillingness to be serious for long, or at least actually admit to being serious. He prefers to cover what he actually thinks with a playful facade.
Those two are the only ones who I've really been able to roleplay on in decent amounts, honestly.
