General Information
.
Appearance
Hair, Eyes & Skin
Ash brown hair (now with grey streaks), short, practical. Pale grey eyes. Slight tan, as of someone that works in the sun.
Physique & Markings
Short for a Highlander (around 175cm), stocky. Would make a great forward in Rugby if that was a thing in Eorzea.
Facial burns, upper cheeks down to base of neck. Hole in left cheek (shrapnel and burns don't go well together).
Left leg amputated a few inches below the knee. Currently looking for a combat viable prosthetic.
Hygiene & Attire
Good hygiene when possible, religiously keeps his armour and weapons in good condition. Equally, he fully accepts that on field ops, everyone is going to stink by the end of the first week, and there's nothing you can do about it.
Personality
Psychological Profile
War is not a kind place for those that would otherwise become kind men. Generally calm and collected, Trachius is not one to hold a grudge, although he is quick to judge based on perceived behavioural patterns. Soft spoken, although not entirely by choice, he rarely (if ever) swears.
He cares deeply for, and is excessively loyal to, anyone he feels falls under the umbrella of "squad". Comrades, those he is responsible for, those he cares for.
Despite this, he is still a trained soldier, and able to kill (almost) without remorse if himself or squad are threatened. This includes preemptive strikes.
Voice
Physically incapable of raising his voice above a 'loud', rasping whisper. Similar voice reference, Generation Kill's Godfather. Due to physical limitations, he speaks in short sentences, discarding unnecessary words. That or he sprays spit out of the side of his cheek.
Philosophy & Mannerisms
"Self-denial and self-discipline, however, will be recognized as the outstanding qualities of a good soldier." - William Lyon Mackenzie King
For tells, he rubs at the scars along his jaw when deep in not-so-pleasant thought. This upgrades to outright scratching and itching when uncomfortable or distressed.
Unpleasant emotions are dealt with by shoving them far, far away and locking them up tight until such a time as they can be dealt with. Assuming he can find the key at a later date, anyway.

/random perfectly acceptable for one-offs.

I'm always looking for RP, unless I'm actively spamming PvE content.

Player Information
Player Note
There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.
