Current Occupation: Anti Angel; Intelligent and skilled enough to be an Angel, Salvatore’s circumstances have led, one way or another, to him joining the opposing group of justice seekers. He is often used for muscle, but is also a very capable at gathering intelligence, and can be found late at night in East Lucent collecting information from his contacts…
Personality: Most people would describe “Big Sal” as the strong, silent type. There is no better way to describe him, since he hardly says more than a grunt, and is capable of crushing your skull with one blow. Despite his physical stature and capabilities, he is really quite a gentle person, known for his enduring patience and willingness to help out anyone who needs him. Sal hardly ever betrays his emotions, and is a stone wall, outwardly. Inside is a completely different story, however. He is a constantly calculating, recording, and categorizing machine, metaphorically speaking. Sal can remember nearly ever word he hears and every detail he sees with little to no difficulty; but this can be both a blessing and a curse. Often times he is so consumed by the task of organizing his thoughts that he will not respond to anything – even a slap to the face – for hours at a time. This has led to some speculation that he may have autism, although at other times he will be very active and seem fairly normal – if quiet.
Cordial and polite, you’ll never find a harsh word come from his lips, unless he plain just doesn’t like you. He tries to judge everyone fairly, and is very easy to win over; despite his stony and stoic appearance. A big believer in second chances, Salvatore is more than willing to place his trust in most people – and perhaps this is not the best thing considering his occupation – but it isn’t as though he’s very social anyways. Sal spends a great deal of his time watching people, learning their mannerisms and personalities before he even speaks to them. Most people say that the man he is on duty is a different one than the one he is off duty; sort of like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. He can (and will) be very violent if ordered to be, and does not seem to have any qualms or aversions to hurting most people. He does this all without saying a word, which might lead you to think of him as some sort of monster, but Salvatore is really quite a warm fellow otherwise, and would never hurt anyone unless he absolutely had to. He sees what he does as a necessary evil, and is fiercely dedicated to punishing wrongdoers – so dedicated that it borderlines on an obsession.
Persuasive and somewhat manipulative when he needs to be, Sal is a tight lipped and highly successful master of intelligence, with connections from the very top of West Lucent to the grimy caves of East Lucent. If it’s going down, you can bet he knows something about it-but he’ll never tell!
Likes:
+Space – Being a pretty big guy, there is hardly ever a moment when he is not cramped. Whenever he finds a place where he can stretch out without touching anything, it’s been a good day.
+Sleep – Long days and even longer nights, any winks he can catch are also greatly appreciated.
+Children – Because they’re so much more innocent than everyone else.
+Quiet – Self Explanatory
+Warmth – St. Lucent being the place it is, you can almost always find Salvatore curled up next to a roaring fire…wherever that may be.
+The Gates – He sees them as the key to St. Lucent’s existence, and an inheritance left to the people of the city. While he doesn’t worship them, he does respect them and wishes to understand more about them.
Dislikes:
-Punks: Nothing gets on his nerves more than some self righteous snot running around causing trouble. He usually takes care of these for free.
-Injustice: Possessing a rigid sense of morality, he strives to correct wrongs where he finds them.
-Being told what to do: The way he sees it, he’s his own man – no one else is going to control him.
-Coffee: It. Tastes. Like. Crap.
-Angels: He sees them as arbitrary agents of their own, perverted sense of justice, to be stopped at any cost.
-The Council: If Sal hates anyone, it is the Council-for reasons easily understood.
Appearance:
Sal is…hard to miss, to say the least. He towers over most others at 6foot 8inches, and nearly as wide. Purely packed muscle covered with a shaggy, matted layer of black and brown fur, with two white stripes that go from the tip of his blunt muzzle to the tip of his tail. His eyes, for the most part seem to be nothing but black, but in the right lighting they are found to be a deep, dark brown – almost like chocolate. Barbaric teeth and even more monstrous claws, he is an imposing figure, to say the least. His right ear is split in half, and the scar from the injury reaches from his temple to his ribcage, light silver and hairless. Unkempt in his appearance, although not a slob, all of Sal’s clothing look like they’ve been worn for years (which they have). He wears a black skull cap year round, and almost always has a jacket or two on. His paws are wrapped in black cloth, although he refuses to bind up his claws, seeing as he may need them on the job. Despite his gigantic size, Salvatore has an uncanny appearance to seemingly disappear and reappear at will, without being noticed at all. He is an unlikely agent of intrigue, but he figures that because of his size, no one would expect him to be what he is. All in all, Sal looks like the guy you wouldn’t want to meet in a dark alley at night, but in reality, he is exactly the one you’d want at your side.
Background:
If you asked Sal about his background, this is what he’d tell you:
“Nothing much. Born here. Grew up. Live here.”
But there is more to Salvatore’s background than even he knows. He was born an orphan in East Lucent, raised in a ramshackle orphanage; poor, but intelligent enough to teach himself a few subjects. A brawler from the time he was old enough to throw a punch, Sal seemed to be going down a treacherous path-taking part in underground cage matches for cash- determined to get himself out of his crummy life. A run in with some Angels one night, who decided to bust the crooks running the fights, resulted in a near death beating for Salvatore, and the loss of everything he’d worked for. Embittered against the establishment, Salvatore vowed to find a way to stop the Angels in their misguided task. Now having nowhere to go, he wandered the shady neighborhoods, making a meager living doing odd jobs (unspecified) and creating connections with some of the more…interesting characters in St. Lucent. One way or another, word of his skills got back to someone who put him in contact with the Anti-Angels, where he found his place in life. Throwing himself fully into his new task- to help those who could not help themselves, and were receiving no help from their so called “Guardian Angels”, Salvatore left behind his rough and tumble lifestyle for a different kind of adventure.
(More of his background will be revealed as his story develops; please do not accept this profile until I have posted another character; he too is a big part of the whole thing. And of course, give me some tips on how to make this a better profile - I'm kind of rusty.)
