Periz
Name: Periz
Age: 17
Gender: male
Prisoner: Yes
Crime: Dust distribution, theft
Craft/Rank: Prisoner/candidate
Appearance: Appearances are deceiving. Periz looks a few years younger than he really is, and he feels it is best if it stays that way. He plays up the cute, innocent look as much as possible. He has a round baby face and dimples when he smiles. If he spends too much time in the sun, he gets a bridge of freckles across his nose. Unfortunately, his pale complexion also lends itself to sunburn. He has a pert little button nose. Periz's mouth is wonderfully expressive, whether turned up into an amused smile or formed into a sulky pout. His dark brown eyes are less revealing, and he tries to keep his true emotions out of them. He has curly blonde hair that falls in loose ringlets around his face. He likes to keep it a little long, almost feminine looking.
He is short for his age, standing at only 5'5. Periz is thin, partly because of his natural build and partly because slaves don't get huge meals on a regular basis. He prefers being petite, because it helps with his act. He dresses as nicely as he can, as a prisoner. That mostly means wearing raggedy clothing decorated with odd baubles he finds lying around.
Personality: Cute, innocent, flirtatious, alluring...that is the image that Periz strives to present to the world. He may act like nothing more than a cute little boy toy, but in reality he is manipulative and not afraid to do whatever it takes to get what he wants. The boy really has no shame, and doesn't really care what his owner asks him to do, as long as it doesn't involve bodily harm. He'll play quiet and sweet if he needs to; audacious and cheeky if that's what is preferred. But behind those sparkling brown eyes always lies calculation. He is fiercely ambitious, no matter what situation he finds himself in. He absolutely hates the stifling atmosphere of the prison and he longs to break free, whether it be by literal escape or by Impressing and rising through the ranks.
Despite his plays at innocence, Periz is anything but. He has a truly wicked side and he is generally unmoved by violence. If it comes down to fighting for himself, he'll generally turn tail and run, but he loves to watch others brawl. He does have a sense of humor, but it is mostly dry sarcasm, and he also has a healthy sense of schadenfreude. Periz gets a certain feeling of glee whenever he's doing better than someone else's crappy situation.
He does have a weakness for flirting. Periz finds it difficult to be without a lover (or two, or three). Life is just so boring if he isn't tumbling someone.
History: Periz was born in the infamous Bitra Hold. His mother, Perila, was one of the Hold's more notable prostitutes. She met Periz's father early on in her career, and he promised that he would come back and make a proper woman of her one day. He never did, of course, but by then it was too late to terminate the pregnancy. She reluctantly gave birth to a baby boy who she named Periz. The boy was a runt, and Perila didn't have much hope for him.
Periz was raised partly by his mother, partly by some other women of questionable virtue around the Hold, and partly by the proverbial wolves of the world. Once he was able to take care of himself a little, he was allowed to run free around the Hold and do whatever he wanted. The boy grew up with no manners at all.
By the time he was a young teen, Perila had gotten deep into dust addiction. Seeing the way it affected his mother, Periz vowed never to get addicted to the drug himself. On the other hand, he also saw what lengths a desperate dust addict would go through to get the drug. Having grown up in rather disreputable company, finding a dust dealer was easy. Periz started doing the dealer's dirty work, with the hopes of someday being able to distribute the drug by himself.
In the mean time, Periz had noticed that some of his mother's customers had an eye for young boys. He was fifteen himself, but he looked younger. Having grown up the son of a prostitute, becoming one himself seemed almost natural. The first few times were almost enough to make him turn back, but he got used to it, and soon enough he was turning tricks with the best of them.
One day he managed to catch the eye of a rather important personage, some Lord Holder's son. The man also wanted dust, so Periz had a sweet deal coming his way. What he didn't realize was that the Holder boy's father was suspicious, and he had a drudge spying on him. The Holder was caught and given a slap on the hand by his father, while Periz was captured by the dragon watch. He gave quite the fight on the way out, trashing half of the lordling's bedroom before the riders got to him--so he was slapped with destruction of property in addition to dust possession and distribution.
He was brought to the prison. Periz was furious, and he fought at first, but eventually he realized that escape would not be easy. It was time to play a different game, one that would bring him success in his new "home."
