Appearance

Physical Description

He's about as close to hunky as elven men tend to get, still trending toward pretty. His tight curls are another uncommon attribute to elves, especially among drow, and he fiddles with the ones near his face often when idle. He's relatively tall, close to but not reaching 6 feet, and has broad shoulders. Sol looks like he just got out of the police academy, which is to say he has all the muscle of the training regimens and none of the padding from sitting in a car. In all honesty he should probably look like a brute to most of similar descent but he moves too delicately and has too soft an expression to ever be read that way.

Apparel & Accessories

Sol exchanged a sort of magic stone with Desiel that he said he would give to Penny, but it may still be on his person for now as that was recent. If the user wants to check that the other holder is alright they just need to think about it and hope for a glow.

Special abilities

He excels at speed and is capable of running hard for a long time, though he has trouble combining endurance and a slower pace. His martial capabilities aren't currently known but he has been holding his own in Gal'Resh's field, which is very physically demanding from the sounds of it.

Mentality

Personal history

Sol played his personal history a bit close to the chest. He was in Dryad's Gold once upon a time as a child, did a lot of gardening with his grandfather in the Sea of Lights, came from a family that primarily worshipped Tyr, there was something about a younger sister, and at some point he was saddled with a champion weapon. Most people don't know more than that about him.
 
Things Desiel has discovered:

• Sol had a twin sister who died in Dryad's Gold. Her name was Salonilei. Loni died in a breath attack from Tchazzar, the same strike that killed Desiel's father and Sol's friend Kessen. This event was recounted briefly by Loni here.


• He has lived in the CC for about 7 years.


• Sol and Loni had a not-great father. He is presumed dead, and if he isn't he apparently never even tried to look for his kids after the attack.

 
He was a fresh police academy graduate who immediately stuck his nose where it was liable to get chopped off, ignorant to the danger he was in when he insisted on responding to a disturbance call. It took a great deal of insistence to get his partner to go toward the call location at all. Here he witnesses Kane and Rascal in the middle of an altercation, and Kane is annoyed to be interrupted. The other officer, Chuck Dorston, explained that his rookie couldn't take a hint and ignore a call that smells like Kane's business. Kane gave Sol an ultimatum: if he didn't want to be a pruned part of the fresh crop he would help Officer Dorston take care of whoever made that call and keep quiet about it like "a good little shadow rat." Seolare agreed but had no intention of following through with murder. He tried to help the caller. They were caught at it but still ran. Dorston shot the innocent man instead of Sol first, which was a mistake: Sol had long enough to shoot him. Gal'Resh had been trying to locate Rascal but decided following Seolare and getting him to the base to hide him took priority when he saw the trouble happening.
 
Now he spends his free time gardening or being substitute family for Penny, and is learning how to get up to Gal'Resh's brand of helpful mischief. He is getting less jumpy and more confident steadily as time goes on. Like just about anyone who has had a run in with Kane he has been swept up in all this but strangely hasn't had any complaint.

Education

• Sol is a talented dual wielder. He has trained with any weapon one can dual wield since he was 50.


• He used to want to be a high guard in the northern capital, all of whom are Bladesingers, but couldn't do the arcane requirements even though he had the martial ones down. After 20 years of training and schooling to that effect he left for the central capital.

Mental Trauma

The loss of his sister happened early in his life but it affected him greatly. He has survivor's guilt, leaving him to feel like a coward who failed her. It makes him want to go above and beyond to be there when he knows there's danger. He's also naturally protective of anyone who reminds him of Loni.

Intellectual Characteristics

Selectively himbo, though if this is a real thing or something he just puts forward is questionable. He can be very clever otherwise.

Morality & Philosophy

• Do the right thing, for fuck's sake.


• You should be there.


• The law isn't justice.


• Love your friends, and show that to them in the little ways.

Favorites-

• Food: Strawberry shortcake


• Color: Purple


• Animal: Lamp Fawn


• Season: Winter

Dislikes-

• Horses, to an extent. They're intimidating to him.

Personality Quirks

• For some god forsaken reason it seems like every time someone tries to speak to this poor lad when he's eating they catch him wide-eyed with his face stuffed to the point of looking dumb as fuck.


• He fiddles with his hair as a physical stim, pulling at the curls.


• He's unaccustomed to genuine physical attention, but not adverse to it.

Hygiene

He really, really likes to keep his hair clean since the curls feel nice that way, and his conditioner must be a bit fruity because the smell of strawberry follows him around.

Base of the Copper Fangs: Central chapter

Contacts & Relations

• Desiel: Sol had a crush on Desiel long before Des seemed to consciously have an affection for him. Once they were both aware and Seoulare had become adjusted to his new life they were quick to look in to a relationship together. Des thinks Sol is "hot as hell" which is certainly a factor but the two have a lot in common, both being arrow-wielding ex-cop champions who just wanted to do good and ended up "criminals" instead.


• Penny: Sol is the Other Elf Brother that Penny has basically claimed. He's actually an older brother unlike Des so he has that big bro vibe I guess. He's very mindful and caring of her but does encourage her mischief, and is fortunately going to be there for her when she tromps out on to the front lines.


• Adari: He likely would admit it but he takes the authority figure vibes of Adari's past teaching career very much to heart. He's several times older than her but thinks of her as something like a cross between an auntie and older sister. As such he trusts advice that comes from her and will even lend secrets.


• Rook and Dot: He doesn't know these two terribly well just yet but he's trying his best. He wants them to feel welcome and more eased in to this lifestyle change than he was.


• Bernard: Because he is close to Penny and more accessible around the base Bernard often seeks updates about the girl's state of mind and being. Penny has continued to shut Bernard out so Sol has ended up something of a middle man for care toward her.


• Gal'Resh: This dude has evolved from being the guy who saved Sol and brought him to the base to being his teacher in the arts of being an urban spy. They spend a lot of time together and have an immediate kinship based on being drow in the city. Gal'Resh teases him but he takes teaching him very seriously- probably because unlike Sol he isn't a baby elf.


• Dizzy: He is fucking TERRIFIED of Dizzy. He likes her and doesn't think she's mean or anything but the potential for "oh holy shit" if she wasn't on their side is horrifying.


• Comet: Sol, much like Desiel, is not a fan of red dragons. He doesn't like the idea of one being resurrected even if it is a baby. He's trying to have an open mind but is floundering a bit.


• Tilt, Creston and Rold: The other 3 members of his deployment team along with Penny.

Family Ties

• Salonilei, twin, deceased.


• Grandfather


• Father, presumed dead


• Mother, deceased

Religious Views

He is just now coming to understand Minya as a Goddess and is doing his best to connect with that part of himself as well as her tenants. It is involving a surprising amount of unlearning the teachings of Tyr.

Social Aptitude

Sol was initially jumpy and even timid when he came to the base. His entire world view was in an upheaval and the dreams he'd pursued since he was little had crumbled rapidly. He did not take it well. As he has settled in he has started to show his true colors more. He has a weird sense of humor, is far more confident in an environment he understands, and is even impish. He's a hard worker and it seems most everyone has a good opinion of him.

Hobbies & Pets

Sol gardens in the upper terrace of the base and seems to enjoy creating fruit monstrosities like the frankenmato. He is starting to take up running with Desiel but despite his aptitude for his job he's not really good at running just to run at 6am yet.
