APPEARANCE
General Description
Sachiel is a mixed-canine anthro. He appears to look like a "hellhound" having a spiked skeletal tail along with two bone-tinted kudu-like horns on top of his head. He appears to be a blend of several different kinds of animal. He has an overall build similar to that of a doberman, with mixed fur lengths and a tail more like that of a lion. He has a stronger build like a rottweiler or pitbull and jowels more like that of a great dane.
He has a spiked up, short-style faux-hawk on the top of his head that has a small tuft of hair that falls down onto his nose. He has predominantly grey-black fur with tan patches covering his underbelly, jaw, and inside of his ears. He has a scar along the top of his nose, exposing pinkish colored flesh, and he has a longer snout. His ears are pierced with two large gold rings on his bottom back right side, one gold ring on the bottom back left, and then one other piercing on his lip in the same style. His eyes are a striking color of chartreuse, with no pupils, while his sclera are completely black. His teeth are yellowed, his gums a dark grey color with black lips and his tongue the same color of chartreuse that his eyes are. He also sports a strange marking atop both of his arms, the fur seems burnt back and his flesh glows where it sits on the top of his forearms. It is a circle with several hooks sprouting from it- ascending up to his elbow.
He predominantly wears clothing like a lot of motorcycle gear as they are his preferred method of travel when he can get his hands on any bikes left standing without an owner. His jackets are generally quite dusty and dirty along with his pants, generally covered in some kind of mud or blood. He tends to lean towards large and hefty boots in several different kinds of styles and while he usually wears t-shirts under his jacket he is known to also sport tank-tops when he is not out on a job.
Sachiel appears to have strong regenerative abilities, and yet the scar on his nose always remains despite this. His eyes glow in the dark, but do not emit a light bright enough to light surfaces unless close to them. He has another form that he is currently unaware of, and appears to be immortal. His body can also disperse electricity under certain circumstances, and he appears to be some flavor of immortal, but to which extents he isn't sure and doesn't overly wish to find out.
PERSONALITY
General Vibes
Sachiel is best described as offputting. He is generally very difficult to converse with and doesn't generally have anything nice to say to people, he is very blunt and sometimes entirely apathetic to other people or their feelings.
At least that's how he vocalizes anyway, internally he does care more than he lets on, and at times even seems almost friendly... the problem is he is constantly in a state of struggle mentally becuase he barely even knows what his own personality is like due to his memory loss. He tends to come off as cold, flat, and uncaring because he struggles to emote any of his feelings- or process them properly for that matter. When he does care about something or someone he tends to react in disgust because he doesn't know that it's a normal thing or what to do with those kinds of feelings. Should he be doing something in those situations? He doesn't know. What he does know is that its easier to push people away than it is to accept that you care about someone's wellbeing.
That being said, on occassion he can be seen as somewhat more carefree and almost joking when the opportunity rises. This tends to be when he is inebriated, he almost seems like a slightly different person when this happens which is likely an effect of his original personality coming back out. According to an ex-friend of his that's how he always was and it was constantly getting him into trouble... but current Sachiel has no idea how true any of that is as he doesn't trust this old "friend" of his.
He does however show his affection towards certain things as he's seen frequently ordering certain foods more than others, his loves of certain flavor profiles seem to be the only thing he's willing to let on since he frequently comments on how much he prefers certain foods over others (see, eating rats like before vs calamari which is his favorite dish). He always orders whiskey at the bar, and frequently mentions how much he prefers to be surrounded by the sound of silence over anything else. He tends to lament the loudness the Hovel is usually bousting, he detests the strange creatures that come from the vortexes and the trouble they bring... but above all else, he detests doctors. He's been poked, prodded, and tested on enough times that he refuses to seek their attention unless absolutely necessary.
Sachiel does actually have some hobbies despite seeming like all he ever does is hunt. He actually frequently attempts to write in his journal as a means of ensuring he doesn't further lose any of his memories, despite detesting most of what he ends up writing. He also took up whittling as a way of killing time while people like Cy would talk his ears off in conversations he wasn't able to escape. He finds it very relaxing- but is most content when he puts on some music from any CDs he finds on the ground that still function, and then starts to mod his weapons. He likes to take them apart and put them back together, doing what he can to modify them and make them function better, be things like his guns, sharpening his blades, or even old pieces of technology that he finds in the back alleys that seem like they aren't beyond hope.
HISTORY
Background Information and Lore
Sachiel comes from Novos, a far off planet with little known about it by the people of this current one. Sachiel seems to have a rich previous history back home to the point where there is someone from there who came specifically to take him back and have him tried for treason, abandonment of his duties, and because he hurt Berwick's feeling. At some point or another something went wrong while Sachiel was in the middle of a heated argument/fight with Berwick that lead to his getting transported from his home to The Undertow instead, causing him immense memory loss.
During this time Sachiel had kept himself going as best he could, going off only his ID that was still on him... that stated his name in a completely foreign language to any of the locals. Many had believed he made the ID himself when mentioning it, and ended up getting an Undertow official ID after talking with the Bartender at The Hovel, Cy. Sachi lived off mostly scraps and garbage until being pointed the right way by his new hangout's head of operations, where he first started to take on bounty hunting jobs, and later down the road ending up getting hired by Cy themself to take on some jobs since they both had questions needing answered.
By this point Sachiel had basically gained an entire party and the most of his woes had begun... Sachiel's true origins come from Novos however, the rest is later not rn (use br br for new par)
RELATIONSHIPS
Acquaintances, Friends and Foes
This is updated with the most important relevant persons for now, and will have more characters later.
Cy
[Boss/"Friend"]
Sachiel has a bit of a distrust of his boss and their overall... vibe. They seem to know what they are doing and this much is apparent, Sachiel can tell that they are good at their job but they sometimes make incredibly strange comments that throws him off enough to know that they know more than they let on.
He gets along with them fine for the most part, they annoy him on occasion by never stopping talking but they seem relatively harmless enough... The two have normal conversations after all, and they line him up with work and give him the equivalent of free rent as long as he's working for them- Sachiel just wishes that he could get more of a solid read on them and their 'plans' they clearly seem to have.
Natascha
[Co-worker/"Friend"]
Sachiel generally tries to avoid Nat outside of work as much as possible, due to the fact that she practically bullies him every chance that she can get, and drags him into shit he never wants to do while around her. He respect the fact that she's a cold-blooded killer, and that she is clearly leagues above him in skill when it comes to hunting and getting the job done... but that doesn't mean he wants to deal with her taking jabs at him all the time.
Much to Sachiel's lack of understanding in how his emotions work, he does enjoy her company when she's talking to him normally. He just can't get over the more irritating parts that she tends to push on him. Having said all of that, he would rely on her in a pinch and he really appreciates that is also able to get Cy and Vik away from him for a while so he has a chance to enjoy the peace and quiet that he seldom gets now.
Viktor
[Roommate/Co-worker/Best-Friend]
Sachiel at the beginning of everything, is mostly neutral towards Viktor, out of all of the people he has been forced to be around. He finds some of Vik's antics annoying, as he does with everyone, but harbors no ill-will towards Viktor otherwise. This is likely due to the fact that he is in a very similar situation to Sachiel, and finds a kinship in the fact that they are not so different, and that just like himself people seem to treat both of them more like experiments rather than people.
Sachiel struggles to cope and come to terms with the fact that he actually enjoys Viktor's company the most out of his companions, since the greaser's personality adds a bit more light to the dark place that they live in; especially as he's the only one with a somewhat grounded optimistic outlook on life down there. However, due to being the stunted man he is, he doesn't really understand what it means to not hate or be pissed off at anything for more than 5 mins- as a result he tends to have a cold and standoffish demeanour when outwardly talking, rarely dropping this persona around Vik unless inebriated (until a later point in time). Sachi would do more than he realizes to look out for him, but doesn't discover this internal thought until later down the road.
Berwick
[Ex-Friend/Nuisance]
Sachiel finds Berwick extremely irritating. Due to his lack of memory of his previous life, Berwick is continually going on about how the two of them were such great friends, but then adding on that Sachiel needs to return with him to face the Council for his crimes... which makes Sachiel suspicious of him, as it seems odd to him that a friend would then rat him out? More than anything Sachiel wants him to leave him alone as he doesn't care about anything that Berwick goes off about, be it Novos this, Council that, Executioner's Oath and etc.
Sachiel also finds his strange obsession with him to be equal parts fascinating as it is creepy as all hell. It's weird to him how much they apparently were like glue before, and even weirder to him that a friendship would have such a strong rift leading to this- which tells him one of two things. One, is that either Berwick is lying about all of this... or two, is that one of the two betrayed the other and he really doesn't care which it was.
Emerson & Jameson
[Nuisances/Rivals]
Sachiel has a morbid curiosity of the two... with an equal fear of them as well. After the first encounter he had with them, and then seeing how the encounters everyone around them had, it tells him mostly that these two mean trouble. To what extent, he doesn't know... but at the same time they seem to be the only two who aren't pyschopathically obsessed with killing him instantly on sight, and are willing to talk for at least a while.
More than anything, Sachiel just wants information out of them about his species, and then to be done with seeing them for the rest of time. They unsettle him to look at, as it feels like every time he meets them something about each of them is slightly different and he can't quite place it. It's uncanny, they are simply too tall and too otherworldly especially in comparison to himself, and they have frequently mentioned strange topics that leave him feeling like something is more wrong with himself than there is wrong with them... or perhaps that's really just them playing mind games with him.
He isn't so sure.
