Lashings of the whip across back in addition to several wicked facial scars show that he has been enslaved for much of his life. Having known many cruel masters, his clear gaze combined with a friendly if cautious demeanour lends a surprising air of confidence to his movements, actions and abilities. His large Dornish hands are powerful, strong and dangerous while his blunted Dornish facial features speak of one able to take a punch without the easy splitting of skin of the typically sharp-featured Sarcosan. When given the opportunity, he would normally shave his head for Dornish shame; unfortunately, lack of access to cutting tools means that he normally has a rough reddish thatch adorning his features and face.Background:[sblock]As already mentioned, he has been enslaved for most of his life moving from owner to owner. What family he had was quickly replaced by a series of cruel masters and indifferent slavish peers. However, there was an older Dornish slave ruthlessly cut down for some meaningless and petty slight or indiscretion who was his father figure for several years. He instilled both Dornish pride and the smarts to hide it from those who would try to enslave their spirit. For Methuselas, this brought a sense of purpose to his life and a fire in his heart. He knew he would die a young death. He would not however let his life be for nothing. As his mentor taught him, it is the small victories that you cherish.Having been a slave for most of his life, he has had to survive by bluffing his way our of the daily situations confronting a slave and the whip. In addition, there have been times where fisticuffs between slaves has been needed to work out a pecking order or defend one's self or another. As such, he is good at subduing angry people and correcting them in their behaviour. He looks after the younger slaves and in particular any Dornish ones in terms of trouble with owners, masters or others. He is no stranger to taking the whip for another's indescretion - using his bluff abilities.In essence though, he sees it his duty to help other Dorns learn of who they were. He struggles himself to learn more of his own background as part of House Orin but he tries his hardest. In him does the flame of Dornish pride, shame and memory reside.[/sblock]Personality:There is something about Methuselas that draws attention to him. While not immediately fair upon the eye, he has the earnest features that at least instil a spark or ember of trust with those of his kind. Others can see that here is one who will not run nor hide if his time is up. It is almost as if others can sense his principles despite his rough, enslaved exterior. Steady of temperament yet boldly cautious describes the somewhat polar personality of the Dorn. Methuselas embodies the heroic will of his people and will always put others before himself. To him, there is still such a thing as honour, despite his present condition and circumstance. He hopes to touch the spirits of many Dorns in his short life, in honour of his people and the man who taught him how to live with the pride of the Dorn once more.[/sblock]</blockquote>
