One who wandered the slums and surrounding sands of Genasea and scrabbled for changes between the cobbles and spent the day being chased from the market. Days spent dirty and sweaty with gruel as the only meal at the orphanage. An obligation by the mean old crone that ran the place. It must have just been a chance of cosmic proportions that led him to catch the Sultan's eye, still red from tears that came with the fresh death of his wife. Fareed stood in a crowd that stood in silence for a funerary procession. Still in ragged clothes, and frankly not wanting to be there but the crone made the entire household turn up for it. Perhaps, that was the only good thing she did, however incidental. The Sultan looked stoically forward, holding a corner of the carriage that held his wife. Yet his gaze strayed just far enough left to catch the orphans. It was the only moment that the procession paused before its completion. He did nothing then, but after dark had fallen several of the royal Bostanji arrived and took Fareed to the palace. A small payment left to the crone. He was brought before the Sultan's very chambers and allowed inside where the man sat with no opulent robes or jewels, but the most important thing held in his arms. Sultan Raif said no words but held the small Fareed in a watery gaze before, very hesitantly, he handed over the small bundle. It was such an insignificant moment, to hold a child of no relation. To any other they might have found a sense of cuteness or disgust, but Fareed? Fareed was enraptured by a toothless smile and a giggle that would make him topple any kingdom. The next morning the Sultan invited him to a table for breakfast and announced his adoption. That afternoon started his training to guard th… His, family. A task he took towards gratefully. From that moment on he was the silent shadow to any member of the family. Whether it was the one that enraptured his heart, or the ones that tried to avoid him. He was always there, watching. To this date, there have been no successful attempts on anyone's life, no matter how much they seem to want to toss it away with foolish stunts. [h3]Questionnaire[/h3] [h3]History [/h3] [b]Did you grow up nurtured or neglected[/b]?: I would not call myself nurtured nor neglected. The Sultan raised me as his own, but my duty took precedent over any such coddling he sought to give. I had a family, and all the training to protect them. [b]When you were upset, where was your sanctuary[/b]?: Within the shelter of my siblings, most often Ranya though she had little notice of it. It always puts the mind at ease to know those you are close to are safe. [b]What were you like in your teenage years?[/b]: Silent, almost bookwormish. My body had yet to fully gain its strength as it does now so I spent much time in the library and providing little lessons to my siblings. While many were of close age, I tend to have a sense of insight that eases their lessons on complex subjects. [b]How close are you to your parents?[/b]: Father? I could hug him, or ask for gold or expensive clothes and weapons of unmatched steel. But I do not. He gives more than enough on his own, and his love of his adopted children is clear. [b]Do you have any trauma that haunts you?[/b]: The… loss of [i]Kahrem[/i]. I was there that night, the night the palace burned. I focused so hard upon the outer defenses, so certain that threats can only come from the outside. A foolish mistake. If I had been by my post… may- no. I could have gotten them to safety, I could have prevented a failing that scars us all. Amir most visibly. To see such a mirror of the fallen… Perhaps, is too little of a punishment. [b]What advice would you give your younger self?[/b]: Focus upon your duty above all else, its better that way. [b]Were you an obedient child or defiant?[/b]: Rather defiant, but mostly only cause of my siblings. But in that same note, also obedient. One can only follow someone so far when they break rules and law before they must do so as well in order to keep their safety. [b]What is your biggest regret?[/b]: I hold no regrets, only sins and the punishment that comes after. [h3]Romance[/h3] [b]Have you ever been in love? [/b]: …Once. In a mansion upon a rainy hill. A rare visit from the Sultan to an influential family who could easily open up trade routes between Alidasht and Caesonia. It lasted several weeks of negotiations, and I found myself… charmed. [b]What is most important in a partner to you? Describe your dream partner[/b].: It would be that woman. That sharp wit, that lovely hair, the crinkly in her eye as she stifled a laugh behind a gloved hand. [b]How do you display affection? What is your love language?[/b]: I... touch I suppose. The gentle fingers entwined, a hug where we share warmth, the simple act of rubbing shoulders as we pass… [b]Have you had your first kiss? What was it like?[/b]: Surprising. Accidental more like. Almost something out of those romance novels. We both reached for something just out of reach and got entangled as we fell to the floor. I lost a tooth funnily enough, but the laughter and brush of lips afterwards numbed the pain. I did get it pushed back in and have not had further issue with it. [b]Do you believe in love at first sight? Why or why not?[/b]: It can happen, It happened to me once. But one should not let such a thing lead to unrequited love or to force it, it must still bloom as a flower does. [b]What does marriage mean to you?[/b]: To swear life, body, and soul to one another. Almost like I do to my dear siblings, just with a ring. And… things I would not do with them. [b]Are you currently crushing on anyone?[/b]: …Is it a crush to wish for a reunion with a woman you shall likely never meet again? [b]Do you ever consider having children in the future?[/b]: Of course, but it remains a consideration without a wife. [h3] Personality [/h3] [b]Describe your ideal Sunday morning[/b]: An overcast morning that starts with a cup of tea and stretches. Small talk with mine siblings, a discussion with father, and the knowledge that they are healthy and happy to start their own days. [b] What kind of person do you aspire to be?[/b]: The One I am, if perhaps with even more skills and watches. [b]What bad habits do you have?[/b]: I… do not focus on myself as I do others. I often go longs times with no rest or even eating so focused am I on making sure another is safe. It is not an uncommon occurrence for me to sleep in odd places just close enough to wake quickly and respond to crisis or for one of the family to make me sit and eat with them instead of acting as their shadow. [b]If you could go back in time and change anything in your past, what would it be?[/b]: I… I… I... would not have left that Manor behind. Not without…doing more. Beg my father to let me do more, put aside my own stoicism if for just a moment. [b]What is your greatest fear?[/b]: The loss of family of course. To fail in some way that is indubitably my fault, know that I have failed them all. [b]What are your pet peeves?[/b]: When a gear does not fit just right. Or when one of my siblings tries to pull another stunt or sneak out again without telling me first. By now they should know well enough I keep many of their secrets. [b] When you are in a sour mood, do you like to be alone or with others?[/b]: Others, certainly. [b]Are you more likely to fight with your fists or your tongue?[/b]: Fists, Blade, flintlock, shoes on one occasion. If I am to engage someone, it will likely be violent as they have threatened someone close. Or Someone close asked me to. [/hider]
