(( Most of this was carried over from my guild application, but I'll be adding to it shortly with a continued background taking place from the time he left his village to that of becoming a Chosen of Slaanesh. Expanding on the last paragraph in the Background section. ))
Name: Ivann Demonov
Age: 36
Height: 6'5"
Weight: 290 lbs.
Hair: Dark greyish brown
Eyes: Cold blue-gray
Hometown: Woods north of Erengrad, Kislev
Career: Chosen
Rank: 22
Appearance and Personality:
A huge bear of a man, Ivann towers over most. Although not absolutely ugly, years of fur trapping in the wilds has left a worn, dirty, and weathered look on Ivann.
Some say his personality is even worse, but being from Kislev, that's not saying much. Like a true Kislevite, Ivann does not beat around the nurgling, nor does he mince words much. He does what he wants of what is demanded of the Dark Prince.
Since his choice of career being a Chosen of Slaanesh, Ivann now sports several scars; both from battle and some he has inflicted upon himself.
Background: (same as the application)
Raised in Kislev and made a living in the woods as a trapper. Venturing into small villages to sell his furs and skins. One village in particular hosted a rather beautiful woman named Katrina. She was the innkeeper's daughter and the belle of the town, desired by most of the men in the village. Ivann caught sight of her and immediately tried to win her affection.
Having led a rough life as a trapper, Ivann was not a handsome man, not to mention being a few years older (30 then) than the young belle. It made Ivann furious that she wouldn't give the rough trapper even the time of day, but she would accept the attentions of all the weakling merchants. There were even rumors that she was secretly seeing one of the sons of the local Tzar.
One night at the inn, after having drunk several snifters of vodka from her father's casks, Ivann made several rude advances to Katrina in front of all the patrons. Gasps could be heard throughout the bar at the sight of the large bear of a man, seeking the affection of Katrina.
The lady's father soon stepped in and abruptly directed Ivann to the door. As she turned to leave, Katrina made a loud comment about "how she could never love a man so ugly and so foul smelling." The tavern fired up in laughter, doing nothing but raising seething rage within the fur trapper.
Screams and wails could be heard as the large man loosed his rage on the patrons of the tavern. Many ran out of the inn in safety, but Ivann had managed to kill many with his bare hands, including taking the life of the innkeeper and his beloved daughter, Katrina.
Ivann was soon restrained by the local guards and slapped in chains to face the Baron of the town. Normally, such a heinous act would constitute immediate execution, but the Baron knew that Ivann's brothers and father were all cruel and vicious men. To sentence Ivann to death would only bring down a boon of trouble to the Baron's small village. Instead, against the cries for blood from all his townspeople, the Baron banished the fur trapper from the village. Never to be seen again.
And as an example of his punishment, the Baron ordered that Ivann be branded on his back the mark of banishment so all could see his fate.
For many years, Ivann wandered the woods and visited many places. Usually avoiding most towns as many would see the mark on his back and the trapper would be forced to take the lives of more in his rage.
On the night of Geheimnisnacht of that year, Ivann came across a small crowd of worshipers caught in the throes of a passionate orgy in devotion to the Chaos god, Slaanesh. Instead of fearing the dark powers, Ivann felt drawn to them and was surprised that they accepted him among them, unwavered by his large form or gruff presence. They did not call him 'ugly' or 'brutish' and for once, Ivann had found true power.
Since then, Ivann has followed in the Dark Prince's calling and even risen enough in the various cults to be granted the boon of Chosen of Slaanesh. Grafting the warped armor directly to his skin in service to the God of Indulgence.
