Physical Appearance: Sangiban is a healthy, but haggard looking man around his late thirties. His hair and scruffy beard are a dusty, silky coffee-brown which can often turn a slightly lighter shade when he's been out in the sun for months at a time. His brown eyes are always accompanied by slightly furrowed brows and a look of stern curiosity or amusement, and usually seem to find themselves staring at the corners of walls or the entrances of taverns when their owner is in deep thought. His voice is low and monotone, although there is always hint of irritation or dissatisfaction beneath it all.
Eating Habits: Sangiban has horrible table manners, even when he's dining with people of great importance. He talks with his mouth full, slurps his soup, and has no qualms about eating with his fingers. Being a mercenary, Sangiban has a fairly broad appetite and there are few things he won't eat. His favorite foods are stews and soups, preferably inside bread-bowls. He dislikes salads.
Drinking Habits: Sangiban is a bit of an alcoholic, and will drink pretty much anything he can get his hands on. While he never gets slobbering drunk, he is never found without a strong pint of something in his hands. On days he isn't able to drink, his attitude is noticeably more sour and scornful. He prefers strong meads, wines, and liquors. While there aren't many drinks he'll outright turn down, he does like whiskey and brown spirits a lot less than say, schnapps or a pint of bitters. He has recently come to favor strawberry milk.
Hygiene Habits: The mercenary's life is not a clean one as it requires a great deal of moving about. Sangiban rarely bathes or shaves, and often whiffs of sweat and dust. The vulnerability that comes with bathing combined with a dangerous lifestyle has given him more than a few reasons to be apprehensive about washing himself in a tub. He will, however, take bird-baths.
Peaceful or Violent: Sangiban is very violent, and has no illusions about being a peaceful person. While he never kills without reason, he is almost always merciless when he does. On the rare occasions that he does let someone get away, it's always followed with threats and insults.
Backstory & Personality
Personality: Sangiban often comes off as terse, irritable, and rude because he is. He has no love of manners or social norms and as such, flies in the face of common expectations. Outright praise from him is quite uncommon, as it is more likely that he will simply insult you a little less. Sangiban also tends not to inflate or hype his own image up, and simply keeps to himself most of the time. Conversations with him are short, and rarely heart-to-hearts. Despite this, he does not seem to be an evil or morally bankrupt individual, and will try to go out of his way to help those in dire situations, even if he finds it irritating. The only thing that usually keeps him invested in such scenarios is the promise of excitement and a genuine desire to make sure that "people get what's coming to them." Sangiban often takes calculated risks, and despises heroes who throw themselves into danger without any forethought. As such, the man is loathe to act rashly, even if it would get him out of a bad situation.Strengths:
Grouchy. Sangiban can be insufferably grouchy, and a good bark from him generally keeps shady figures away from him. If that doesn't work, being short and terse usually gets unsavoury characters to leave him be.
Cautious. Sangiban never acts without thinking long and hard about his first moves. If that means taking a few losses along the way to victory, so be it.
Clever. Sangiban is always trying to find a way to outwit his enemies whether in battle or information-gathering. He likes playing dirty, and often keeps people on edge with strange, seemingly sudden decisions interspersed between long stints of inaction.
Weaknesses:
Grouchy. While his cranky demeanour can keep his enemies away, it also drives everyone who might want to befriend him away as well. Forming attachments is difficult for him as he seems to find it a sickening weakness.
Traditionally undisciplined. Sangiban keeps his own form of discipline that involves honing his skills and laying out his options, but those who hire him out quickly find he's a rather bad follower. This could get him on the bad sides of many powerful people as well as lower his reputation- not that he has one.
Arrogant. Just because he never hypes himself up to others doesn't mean he doesn't do it to himself. Sangiban likens himself to a knight errant, but also believes his own opinions to be better than those of others. This causes him to mistreat and overlook otherwise valuable assets to his own misfortune.
