15 years ago
What the hell is this? http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5140764/
What's your character's name? Loric Kriabnish
What's your character's race? Arctic fox
What aspect of the Moon Goddess does your character most venerate?
New Moon… though 'venerate' is kind of a big word for that.
In what city was your character born? Shrad
In what city does your character live? Shrad
What's your character's sex/gender? Male/male
What's your character's occupation?
Officially, he's the head of a stonemasons' guild. Very few people know it's only a cover-up for more shady activities.
What's your character's greatest success thus far?
Reaching he position of power he currently occupies.
What's your character's greatest failure thus far?
Strangely enough, one of the things he regrets the most is not having found a companion to share his life with.
What's your character's sexual preference? If bi, which way do they lean? Any kinks?
He's gay; as far as kinks go, he likes to play the submissive role in bondage-y stuff… which is quite a conflicting thing with the rest of his personality.
What does your character think of his/her life?
He's pretty satisfied with his life so far. However, having devoted the most part of his life to running 'the business', he's obsessed by it; you could say that his organization controls him just as much as he controls the organization.
What does your character have worth living for? Power.
What would be an ideal and/or meaningful death for your character?
Death is not part of his plans - it just means he's failed. There's no meaningful nor ideal way for him to go. That is, unless he happens to find the life companion he'd like to have.
Physical description
Loric is an arctic fox in his mid-thirties, around six feet tall. Due to his species, his fur is almost entirely white; his eyes are icy blue, they seem almost grayish at times. He's not muscley, but he keeps his body in good shape.
Background
Loric was born in a rather powerful family. This made his early years surprisingly easy compared to other youngsters in Shrad; not being compelled to fight for his own survival, his father provided him the opportunity to get a good, albeit strange, education. Loric is therefore quite learned. However, he doesn't make a show about it, as he knows that mediocre people are perceived as a lesser threat.
Despite being the offspring of a wealthy family, Loric is most certainly not lazy. In his mid-to-late teens, his father showed him the real source of their wealth. Their official status as leaders of a stonemasons' guild is actually a cover for a way more shady business: smuggling, trafficking people, contract killing, "whatever you want as long as you can pay".
Certain caravans that leave Shrad act as a cover for goods that could be considered illegal at their destinations, from drugs to slaves to rare dwarven weapons; hitmen get hired with surprising regularity, and a number of them even had to 'take care' of people not living in Shrad.
Later his father, explaining the reason behind certain strange quirks in his education, told him that "every brainless thug out there can kill a person or steal something. But it takes a lot of knowledge and subtlety to keep a thing like this running".
An event that had a strong effect on Loic's personality happened a few years later, in his early twenties.
By that time, Loric was already used to everything that went on in 'the business', as they used to call it. Death (that is, another person's death) became simply "hey, there's a new job for you" and slavery became simply having to deal with a cumbersome package, which also had the additional nuisance that it had to be kept alive in the meanwhile.
On a trip to the city of Myrh, he had to assist to some rituals at the local temple; despite being used to it, this left Loric with a deep fascination for death, a fascination that (due to his background) quickly turned into a morbid attraction - again, we're talking about other people's death.
Because of that, Loric ended up doing a couple simple 'jobs' personally, much to the dismay of his father, who wanted his son not to expose himself that much. The discussion that followed was extremely harsh, ending with his father threatening him not to put the business at risk with his behavior, and forbidding him to do such a thing ever again.
Now Loric is in his mid-thirties, and he is slowly taking his father's place, who knows better than trying to resist an ambitious son.
He's never gotten his hands dirty again after that discussion with his father; however, he takes good care of his body and he's physically fit, as he trains regularly.
Loric joined the group headed towards Zion as a representative for the part of the city that is under his family's protection. However, he's not really interested in finding out what happened to the other representatives, nor in reaching a full-scale peace resolution towards other cities.
His primary concern is to try and keep the status quo as far as political climate is concerned, and to see if there are any possibilities of expanding his organization's area of influence to Zion too.

Advantage: Social standing - both his social status and the hidden organization running behind the curtains give him grounds to back up what he says, be it a promise, a suggestion or a threat; Loric is well aware of this, and knows how to be subtle enough to make it work in his favor.
Fault: Dark secret - Loric is not really interested in a trip to Zion ending with all cities at peace and things like that; he is more interested in maintaining the status quo. A constant war threat means less people thinking about what's going on behind the curtains, and provides their business with plenty of individuals willing to pay for a swift removal of people they deem a nuisance.
Plot Hook: Twisted - his attraction to death has faded during the years, but it hasn't gone away. He still has a macabre interest towards it, and despite his efforts to hide that, it still shows through when someone brings up the topic.
