[hider=Character Application][center][color=lightgreen]"Why do we even bother policing other Gnawers? Redwatch is for Redfield, they can deal with their own problems."[/color][/center] [color=lightgreen][b][u]Name[/u][/b][/color] Erian of Redfort // Erian Sleepy Eyes [color=lightgreen][u][b]Rank[/b][/u][/color] Greenband [b][u][color=lightgreen]Appearance[/color][/u][/b] A young upstart with a penchant for running his mouth, Erian's gotten himself into enough scraps over his short years to gain a number of scars. Swelled, shallow cuts surround each of the mouse's eyes, giving him a strangely tired expression- prompting his nickname. A chipped front tooth thanks to a neighbor wacking him in the mouth with a shovel during a heated argument. Short and scrawny, Erian lacks much muscle mass beneath his matted fur. His coat is a mess of tangled, black hair with sparse white spots around his torso. Erian's whiskers are long and typically caked in dirt and dust. Years of working in the deepest mines of Redfort, and covering himself in dirt and charcoal, Erian doesn't stress much over appearances. Not to say he's particularly [i]dirty[/i]. But you won't find him getting his coat brushed often or excessively washing his paws. Erian is small of stature, nearly half that of most mice his age from Redfort. Though Erian was always part of the mining unit, following in the footsteps of his parents, he never developed much upper body strength. Most thought he was incapable of it due to oddities in his genetics, tied, likely, to his height. Erian often worked as a scout and a runner. They sent him into the tiniest cracks and crevices to examine potential new areas to excavate. Dangerous work, but Sleepy Eyes was never one to shy away from it. This activity lent him great strength in his legs and a lithe, capable build. [color=lightgreen][u][b]Personality[/b][/u][/color] One would struggle to find a more fiery, passionate soul than Sleepy Eyes Erian. The short tempered miner mouse is a deeply flawed individual. He has great pride in his lineage and his nation, to the point where he blindly believes and supports everything the monarch or her government says. He has a tendency toward violence when angered, especially against those who confront and insult him personally. Rough and coarse, the rodent often times struggles to empathize with others; especially when he doesn't know them personally. His personality tends to lead to conflict with others around him. Erian doesn't enjoy fighting with family or the few friends he has managed to keep a hold on, but a lot of the time the mouse simply can't control himself. He lacks the personal discipline to do so. Erian of Redfort loves his country and his king. He's never left Redfield before, and never had any desire to for most of his young life. Ever since he was a boy, he's looked up to the Redwatch. He sees them as the crowning achievement of his beloved kingdom. A legacy of heroism and defending the legacy of his homeland left an impression upon the young mouse. Erian's blind patriotism and loyalty to the crown has left him jaded, however. He believes the Watch has spread itself too thin trying to protect everyone- some of whom might not eve deserve defending. Why does Redfield need to guard Glendale, or Westercroft? The Redwatch is their creation. It's their army. The other Gnawer kingdoms were a drain on Redfield resources and only ever caused problems for them. Erian used to shout his views from the mountaintops. Several violent confrontations later, and Sleepy Eyes has learned to keep his opinions to himself unless otherwise asked. He's just as passionate about it, however, as he used to be. [/hider]
