two flintlock revolvers, three throwing knives, and a cutlass, obviously outdated military issue, that looks something like this. He is proficient with all these. Other objects he possesses include a faded daguerreotype, some spare currency, a pocketwatch (LOL WHAT STEAMPUNK GUY DOESN'T HAVE A POCKETWATCH) and a letter. He has no pets, though is secretly a cat person lol.
Description:
okay i spent like six hours writing up a novel and it got deleted so i'm gonna be brief. Afzhal loves violence, mental and physical challenges, danger, logic puzzles, and generally being a scheming bad guy. He has put his emotions under strict repression and has lots of issues that lead to this and stem from it. He does not like feeling close to other people, because he doesn't trust anyone, to the point of being paranoid. This being said, once he does trust someone he is extremely possessive. He's ambitious, extremely clever, and smiles a lot in a creepy way.
appearance wise he has the darker skin and jet black hair of the typical "foreign" stereotype. His face is unremarkable, in fact quite forgetable. He has a very lean, very hardy build, and while he is not big and super muscly, he has a runner's athleticism and has remarkable speed, grace, and endurance. He's very good at fighting, not because he hits hard, but because he knows where to hit. He's also an excellent marksmen.
Generally he wears neutral colors - browns, blacks, and tans. Typical attire would include an overcoat, dress shirt, trousers, tall leather boots that are dark-brown in color, and if an occasion is formal, perhaps a vest.
He has no magical abilities. He may be slightly disappointed, since that would be cool/helpful, but he's not too upset about it. He can still kick a nerdy witch's butt.
He's very grim and serious when by himself, but if he needs to he can turn on a more social and charming side. This side is not sincere. He is not above using people, hurting people, or otherwise doing what he has to do to get what he wants. Which is of course, more power, because more power means you up the stakes and make the game that much more exciting.
Relationships:
Alya: You were good to us.
Ilyas: Curse you for so many things...but bless you for others. You were a strict master, and biased. I am not sorry that I had to disappoint you, I feel no guilt for what I have done or who I am. The things you taught me...they led me here.
Faiz: Jealous, hm? What are you going to do about it now?
Isra: Thank you for the suffering, sister. It taught me what I needed to know - trust none, love none. be strong. You are insane and I will kill you if I ever see you.
Javid: You are not my brother, you are a stupid pit bull of a person.
History:
Once again I spent ten hours writing a novel and since it's gone i will simply summarize.
Born on a desert island with a harsh desert culture. He doesn't talk much about his family life. It can be assumed that much of it was less than cordial. Father had a position of some power in the city, a judge, and his son worked beneath him.
But that would not satisfy him for long. Ilyas, seeing the young man's further potential, sent his favorite son to a traditional school on the mainland. He learned languages, science. But halfway through, Afzhal dropped out of school for reasons unknown. Began to serve the king in his hunt for the witches. Was trained in traditional military style. Afzhal turned out to be very, very good at what he did. In fact, it seemed like he would soon get a promotion, much to his higher officer's dismay.
The higher officer and Afzhal both disappeared soon after. Now Afzhal wanders, trying to decide what to do now. Need big plans to keep a big brain occupied.
Miscellaneous:
Hates rain and being wet.
Favorite food is fish.
The island is arid, rocky, and sandy. It is not important politically or geographically. The people there have nothing much to offer aside from herding and an interesting culture.
i might have missed something that was explained in the old profile and deleted, and forgot to put it back in.
