Mishael Longine

[Mishael Longine]

Mishael Longine Appearance Race: Human Gender: Male Age: 33 Birthday:34 Winter 479 Birthplace:Sunberth Appearance: Mishael Longine is a man of weathered looks, his sun-worn face lined lightly but the tan that he sports gives his skin a more leathery look. His hair, by far his best feature, is of silky black curls that fall around his ears and neck collar. His nose is crooked, perhaps broken one too many times, and there is a fine white scar that stands out poignantly against his darker skin above his lips. His height is an impressive six foot three inches, and his weight weighs in at 245 lbs. His eyes are the shade of jade, a light green that contrasts with the black pupil. He wears leather breeches, snug but functional. Worn but well kept as all his clothing. Undyed, his clothing is also all of the harsh brown of the leather, jacket, belt and boots alike. The jacket fits him well, the muscular arms protected from the elements, pressing against the fabric. Character Concept Mishael is a man who does not have a lot to say. In fact he finds people generally annoying, and trying at best to be around for long periods of time. This aloofness is most likely due to training he received in his apprenticeship to an interrogator in Sunberth. Or perhaps it is because he is from Sunberth that he is wary. Character History Mishael Longine was born to Martha and Timothy Bakker in Sunberth in the winter of 479. He was a bright boy, not genius but not a dullard either, however it became apparent early on that he was going to be a large boy. This helped in his growing up in a city that is famous for its ruffians, as ruffians are wont to avoid targeting larger victims, though he did not go without his fair share of scuffles and all out brawls. Mishael was taught the bare basics in reading and writing. He could write out a receipt or read a note of request but he would never be found with a long novel in his hands, unless he was about to fling it at someone's head. Numbers came a little easier to him, but in the end his propensity to largeness dictated his course in life. When he was 16 years of age he entered into an apprenticeship to an enforcer of sorts in Sunberth. This man would question different ..individuals for one faction or the other. His loyalties lied with no one, but his pocket book. He taught Mishael the delicacies of interrogation..or out right torture. Along with learning the interesting arts of torture to get a subject to talk, Mishael learned a little in medical knowledge, so that he did not accidentally nick an artery, or could bring a subject back from the point of death. Did all the subjects speak true when they confessed? Mishael did not know, all he knew was that at the end. They all confessed. When he was 27 years of age his parents both perished in a fire that was suspect at best. Having no family left, not bothering marrying or really dating too much, Mishael left his apprenticeship having learned quite a bit from his mentor. Unwilling to continue to live in the city that was at least partially responsible to his parent's demise Mishael set out to other cities, determined to ply his chosen trade. However his attitude towards authority and in general rules got him into more trouble then not. Leading to his expulsion on occasion, or jail time though never longer then a month or so. So now, at the age of 33 Mishael finds himself on a boat heading toward Ravok, to see what awaited him in the city on the lake.

Housing: Renting a room Ravok, Mishael's lodgings are simple, bordering on bare. There is little in the way of decor, and the best way to describe his room is four walls and a door. The walls were sturdy, the floors were scuffed but clean, but perhaps most telling is the door. It has not only a lock, but two, as well as a conspicuous chair that is seated conveniently next to the door. There is a bed which is always cleanly made, and a table with another chair but no extra chairs. There is a privacy screen in the corner, but it is difficult to tell what could be behind it, though there is a bar over the top with what looks to be hangers. Perhaps it is extra clothing.
