Guiomar [unowned]

[Iseut]

Basic Information
Full Name: Guiomar - "famous in war", name's meaning lends to reason it is likely to be an alias rather than the slave's 'birth' name

Nickname: hasn't stated any, any casual references made will be noted here

Name on Identification: Guiomar

Age: 30

Gender: male

Species: Iberian Lynx (Lynx pardinus)

Sub Species/Breed: Humanoid

Physical Appearance
Body Type: humanoid

Physical Details: Shoulder-length wavy black hair, 1-day stubble and a fine mustache with a short/slight beard. His eyes are amber-orange, with a distinctly feline shape to the pupil and dark eyelashes. His ears are fully moveable, although only possess fur near and including the tufts of dark grey (Ears retain the same amount of sensitivity as those of a feline or human, and the slave expressed distaste at the idea of having them deliberately pierced or even petted). Skin is lightly tanned and soft, showing an inclination for keeping himself well groomed and cared for. Both his hands and feet have non-retractable claws.. those on his hands, he has shown a preference for keeping sharp. His lips have a slight cupid's bow curve to them, and the teeth behind are of a feline shape in a more human arrangement.

Physical Markings: Small flecked dark grey markings on the thighs, buttocks, back, upper arms and shoulders. The skin also appears to be almost tawny in these areas, due to the pigmentation mimicing that of his more animal-like kin.

Current Inflictions: 100%

Physical Defenses: teeth, claws, skill in hand-to-hand combat shows potential with practise. It is not, however, recommended that the slave be unshackled when unsupervised.

Appealing Attributes and Attraction: A well-groomed physically healthy man on the cusp of his prime, with a physique earnt and maintained by a self-imposed regime of diet, excersize and combat training. Defined more in the abdominals, legs and upper arms with firm buttocks with a softness balancing out the lines of muscle - a 'feline' figure, with an almost prowling gait. Attitude displays shows a self-assurance and confidence, although he has expressed no outward preference for either sex at this current point in time.

Clothing: button-up breeches of cotton, no underpants, tall riding-style boots of stiff leather that appear travel-worn but useable

Other Items on Person: ('saif' sword) (misericorde) (necklace)

Behavior
Feral or Cultured: cultured, but prone to more feral bursts of aggression when angered or approached in the 'wrong' way.

Phobias: none known

Disorders: none known

How do they present themselves: Fickle; on one hand, calm and patient. But on the other, very much frustrated by his current situation. He displays a want to 'ride it out' but possesses a streak of aggression that makes this often difficult.

Feelings towards being owned/rented: Disliked. Slave did briefly express that it is not so different form being in debt. Has suspected prior experiences with being 'owned' to one degree or another.

Overall Attitude: to be noted

Quirks: dislikes his ears getting petted or otherwise touched at all, spurns physical affection on a casual level, taps his claws against things when bored

Hobbies/Interests: intricate metal-working, falconry, horseback riding / herbal-based remedies, geology, the classics, antiquity in general

High or Low Maintenance: high in the sense that leaving him to his own devices is not recommended at this point in time

Diet/Allergies: omnivore / none, but dislikes spicy food


Abilities
Languages Spoken: Common, Spanish, Arabic

Can they Read/Write: yes / yes -- Common, Arabic, Spanish

Can your character produce magic: yes -- not quite to the level of a mage, but he specialises in the manipulation of sand heavily (given his past homeland, this makes sense...) and shows little proficiency for other branches of the arcane. His magic is restricted by wearing these bracers - one on each wrist. It is recommended that he wear them at all times. While he shows skill in only one area, it is unknown if he can branch out to other magical specifics if he sees a reason to.

Talents/Skills: horsemanship, horseback archery (and archery in general), bushcraft / rudimentary herbal healing, calligraphy, falconry

Training: none related to enslavement

For Rent or to Own: ownership after a trial period of rental, rental

Cost:
1 night rental = 7 gold
To own = 70 gold

OOC Info/Notes
Availability: The only days of the week that I am genuinely limited are Thursdays and Fridays due to University. I am, bear in mind, British so therefore I am in the GMT timezone.

What are you looking for in a slave/slaver Roleplay: Someone to make use of his past experiences and skills. He's best as a bodyguard, or sparring instructor -- he could possibly be a passable companion. He would make a poor sexual slave (not that he would refuse an encounter depending on the one initiating...) and shows a distaste for gladiatorial combat. OOCly, I do not enjoy RPing fights with the dice-roll system and only use it if character's are evenly matched and I want an unbiased outcome.

What are your allowances for your character: No death, rape or severe permanent mutilation. Otherwise, run it by me, I'm willing to be negotiable depending on the circumstances.

Long Term/Short Term: long-term for ownership, short-term acceptable for rental

General Information
Character Description:
Moorish bastard. Possessing the physique of a warrior merged with a more feline grace evident in the tufted ears protruding from the tousled shoulder-length waves of hair as black as the ink that often stained his fingers from literary work, the former mercenary had a presence that hinted at a smouldering aggression masked by the underlying scent of spices. A faint 'v' of hair marks his chest as a happy trail leads down to the waistline of the button-up breeches tucked into stiff lace-up boots worn from years of travel. Several scars mark his tan flesh, each with their own story. About his neck, three coins hang alongside a key - an heirloom. Humanoid Iberian Lynx.
