HISTORY

Daryen is one of several in a large Kanemorian Roma family. Born the oldest of two children to a rough father and loving mother, he spent his entire life on the road helping his family with their merchant business.

He caught on pretty quickly that half their wares were smuggled, which Daryen thought was a really neat idea; this inspired him to become a thief in order to add to the wealth of things to sell. After a couple of shaky starts he proved to be quite adept at thievery.

Daryen grew, becoming louder and more boisterous every day. He became the designated loudmouth of the family, taking after his father in that sense, and in his teen years discovered a passion for alcohol and flirting.

Unfortunately, both proved to have their ugly side one night when he wound up in bed with a man named Rey. And not even a pretty young man who could be mistaken for a woman, Rey was just as masculine as Daryen was. Worse, it felt good enough that he'd have done it again while sober. So Daryen made a point of sleeping with as many girls as he could, to prove he wasn't into men, even as he kept going back to Rey in fits of drunkneness.

By the time he was eighteen he'd become a sex addict; he craved men for the unwanted good feeling and women for the confirmation that he wasn't gay. At the same time, he'd been trying to figure out a way to pull in more money for the family. The solution? Prostitution. Late at night when the rest of his family had gone to bed, he would stake himself out a street corner and find people willing to pay a good price for a romp in the sack. Hey, even ladies needed a throw once in a while, right?

Unfortunately, male customers were much easier to come by and a lot of them would actually pay handsomely for a night with him. Worse, they were rough, and Daryen LIKED it rough.

Now Daryen had two secrets to keep from his family. Luckily, thieves are very good at lying.


PERSONALITY

Daryen is one of those people who rarely (if ever) takes anything seriously. Loud, wild, and carefree, he lives in the moment and seldom thinks about the consequences of his actions. He says and does what he pleases for the most part, which has gotten him into more than a little trouble on many occasions. The only times he's quiet, naturally, are when he's stealing. Most consider it ironic that someone as loud in appearance and personality can be such an effective sneak.

His attitude especially irritates Yuliet, whom he views as stuck up and loves to annoy by mocking her fortunetelling.

Despite his cocky attitude, though, he's surprisingly good at making friends. Possibly because he's a fun-loving guy and a bit of a charmer, making it hard to stay mad at him for long. And he steals the best booze.

Underneath it all, Daryen is at least not a complete asshole. He's capable of giving a fuck when it's needed, and he'd do anything for his family. Yes, even Yuliet. He's proud of who he is and his family, always has been and always will be.

But of course, everyone has their Achilles' Heel, and Daryen's is his sexuality. He's definitely gay, but part of him refuses to believe this and will sleep with anyone; liking both sexes has to be better than not liking the ladies at all, right? Unfortunately, he knows he likes men better and it's getting harder and harder to deny this fact.


APPEARANCE

The first thing one notices about about Daryen is his hair, it's a shockingly bright shade of orange-red that offsets his deep tan. His eyes are a deep shade of amber with a perpetual mischevious glint. He carries himself with a cocky stride and dresses in as flashy a manner as he can get away with. He has a habit of constantly running a hand through his hair, usually as a means of charming people he wants to steal from or sleep with.
