AppearanceRace: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 33
Birthday: 28th of Spring, 481 AV
Birthplace: Sunberth
Appearance: Royas stands at a staggering 6'10", dwarfing all but the largest of the humanoid races. His enormous body is framed by broad shoulders and rippling muscles. Numerous scars from his rough upbringing dot Royas' body. Though handsome, Royas' face is consistently coated in a cold countenance that immediately dissuades most people from striking up a friendly conversation. He is never seen without his signature gauntlets.
Character ConceptRoyas is a vicious slave-trader who feels no remorse for his vicious treatment of his fellow man. Though slavery is perfectly legal, Royas is well aware that the real money lies in the...less than savory methods of slave acquisition. Having been a proficient kidnapper and slave handler in Sunberth, Royas has come to Syliras to do what he believes only he can do: form a criminal slave-trading empire in the most secure city on the planet.
Remarkably cruel, Royas often trains his own slaves, beating them into obedience. Though he takes no joy in their pain, he feels no sadness either. It is simply a means to an end: money. Royas will do whatever it takes to become a respectable crime boss, even if he must punish the innocent. These people mean nothing to him. Royas lives for Royas, and there is nothing in his world but Royas. Everything else is to be used to further his goals. This cold and heartless worldview paired with his indomitable will and horrifying size and brutality make Royas a true force to be reckoned with.
Character HistoryAbandoned by his parents in the mean streets of Sunberth at the age of 4, Royas had no real childhood to speak of. In fact, he refuses to speak of it at all, for reasons only known to himself. However, though his story lacks a beginning, Royas' tale is not a boring one.
At the age of 18, having inexplicably survived to adulthood through sheer will and brutality, Royas had seen the worst that the city had to offer. Before long, the various criminal organizations had taken an interest in the young bruiser. This was a man who could not be conquered by strength alone. Already enormous for his size, the imposing giant had been fighting his entire life, and those he could not fight were intimidated into submission. Royas was a survivor. It was for this reason that Royas was hired by a criminal organization (whom Royas refuses to name) whose main method of money making was the kidnapping and sale of the weak. Criminal slavers.
Royas became vaguely renowned in the Sunberth underground for his violent methods of acquiring his quarry. Though quite cunning, Royas rarely needed his wit when capturing unsuspecting slaves. Using a pair of teethed gauntlets gifted to him by his superiors, the bull of a man could simply spot a lone traveler in the dead of night, throw them into an alley, and if a weapon was drawn, the irregularly spaced protrusions of the gauntlets would offer Royas an advantage. The ability to disarm his opponent, along with his terrifying size, and vicious fighting style made him undefeated in combat, and once his unwilling accomplice was beaten within an inch of their life, it was nothing to drag the limp form back to the slave pens to prepare them for sale. Royas also dabbled in home invasions and extortion in order to acquire his goods, forming him into a very proficient criminal mastermind.
Eventually, Royas believed that he was not appreciated enough by the people who paid him. Royas was greedy, and his current pay simply wasn't enough. However, his superiors refused to increase his wages, despite his growing renown and newly earned nickname, "Royas the Chainer." Deciding that he had learned enough from the cretins of Sunberth, Royas left Sunberth, faking his own death, and departing on his way to forge his own empire. Desiring a challenge, Royas chose the city of Syliras, the most well policed city in all of Mizahar, to practice his illicit trade. Perhaps here, "Royas the Chainer" would find greater riches than he could have ever known back in his birthplace.

Heirloom: A set of teethed gauntlets gifted to him by his Sunberth superiors for excellence in his slave-gathering. These allow him to face enemies wielding small-to-medium sized blade weapons with a slight advantage, as the protrusions along the gauntlets help to deflect them.
