For today’s spotlight we have another fine resident of Zenith, specifically living in the spires, but originally from the depths of Undertown. Achilles is a rather large Goliath who stands almost eight-feet-tall, and is bald with a large tattoo of a lightning bolt over his right eye. He is usually dressed in a long brown coat and tends to wear a fine suit with a black shirt and a red tie. The clothing regularly looks uncomfortable which is generally true.
Achilles is in his mid thirties and grew up with a hard life. He learned early on that is greatest asset was his fists. He learned early on that the way to protect himself and those he loved was to hurt anyone he needed to. In the beginning he hated it, but he came to realize that it’s a part of his life.
Life in Undertown, is hard, and he learned that to survive it, he had to be harder. Achilles found an old book that talked about a great hero of Kenadyssn. He told himself that he was a great hero, and that he was going to pull himself out of Undertown by his fists.
It didn’t take long for him to run a reputation, and eventually he was discovered by Thorgar Karidark. He recognized talent when he saw it, and brought him up to the Spires. Thoragar has since found a use for him, and sends him to handle the more unsavory parts of the Karidark family business.
When he isn’t doing work for the family, Achilles maintains a small garden on the rough of the house the Karidark family gave him. Achilles grew up in a world of cold concrete and feels a great joy from nuturinf green and tending to the plants in his garden.
The following are they key roleplay elements:
Personality Trait: I was able to change my life by being tough enough to fight through anything. I don’t plan to let it fall now.
Ideal: House Karidark took a chance on me, and it got me this life. I owe them a debt I can never repay.
Bond: To balance my life, I find my garden to be my safe place.
Flaw: I am loyal to a fault. I will do anything Thoragar Karidark asked of me.
