Achilles Toussaint (Pronounced ‘Ah-sheels ; Tu-Sohnt’)

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Date of Birth: July 27, 2276

Height: 6’ 2” (186.42)

Weight: 163 lb (74)

HISTORY
Achilles does not talk about his past much, only for the fact that he finds most of it irrelevant or unnecessary to bring it up, but if urged to do so he’ll attempt to explain it in short detail. He was raised by his mother who provided for the two of them by stealing, then selling or keeping the stolen goods for money and other living essentials. Once he got older Achilles would accompany her in an effort to help, but later on he began to work alone, feeling he didn’t need his mother around to do a job or that she needed him. It wasn’t until he was 16 that she was caught and killed for her crimes, leaving Achilles to develop the twinge of guilt that if he hadn’t been so proud he could have protected, or at least gone down with, his mother.

Managing to survive on his own but scraping by just barely, Achilles decided to join Avicenna in hopes of surviving. Part of him also hoped/hopes that the group may fight back against oppression put down on the lower class someday.

PERSONALITY
Achilles is an educated man who keeps most of his thoughts to himself but holds a strong personality of passion, drive and a constant hope for change. He is not afraid to express his distaste or approval for things but will try to stay civil about it. Growing up in poverty and dealing with the hardships that a destitute life brings has caused him to develop a radical view on his position in society and that of the wealthy. He has a large amount of pride for the poor, feeling that as a group of people with similar issues and wants that they could be unstoppable should they choose to fight back against the oppression thrust upon them. Due to these radical thoughts, the man secretly wishes to start a movement or revolution of some sort against the higher class, but due to his personal cowardice of bringing the very notion up hinders any want of putting his ideas to actions. Another reason why he keeps such an idea to himself is the paranoia that someone from the opposing side may hear this goal and tell the plans to their higher ups, thus ending the dream (and possibly his life) before it could take flight. Occasionally Achilles may give off an air of leadership, but he doesn’t hold the right amount of self-confidence to become an actual leader yet.

Unlike his mother he normally savages for items to sell and only reverts to thieving if he deems it the only option to do so at the time being, feeling that it may be somewhat petty but the world owes him at least one free meal or item once in awhile. Other than that he feels thievery, as supportive as it is to his kind, only helps support the higher classes’ pessimistic view on the poor. Also, on the note of his mother, because of her death Achilles now understands the importance of team work and will not try to play the lone hero unless called for.

Admittedly as disapproving as he is towards those with money he tries to be realistic by reminding himself that, like people, not all of them are the same and that as ignorant as they may be there are probably some good higher class people. This doesn’t stop him from thinking that they could be knocked down a peg or so in humility.

Though he’s grateful for what Avicenna has done for him, there’s a part of Achilles that believes the group is too good to be true. He’ll do what he’s assigned and has sworn his alliance to them but is on the watch for any suspicious behavior that may prove his suspicions correct.

TL;DR: Mainly keeps in a serious mood but is friendly, trustworthy and loyal. Blunt and opinionated about current events. Does not tolerate those who don't work well with other members.

STRENGTHS AND ABILITIES
Due to years of growing up with a thief, Achilles has grown a good sense of stealth and agility. He is use to knives, since that had been his main choice of weapon while growing up, but has found he’s quick at reloading guns (his aim on the other hand still needs work). Despite being raised in a poor environment, Achilles is able to read, write and holds a good amount of knowledge due to his mother who felt education shouldn’t just be for the wealthy. Because of this he has a bit of pride, but not enough to gain a giant ego.

If given an order Achilles will do his best to complete it efficiently and professionally. If he fails he won’t make an excuse for himself but instead figure out the points he did wrong so as to correct them should he be given a second chance.

On a side note he’s good at finding more pricey items to sell, should he ever need money/food/essentials.

FAULTS AND WEAKNESSES:
Achilles has a case of vanity when it comes to appearances. He tries to find clothes that give off an air of professionalism or title to prove that anyone can look high ranked. Most of these clothes are in poor condition though, so it doesn’t do too much. This vanity has in turn caused him to gain cases of insomnia after years of staying up into all hours of the night to make sure no one stole his things (since they were of some high value and all). This symptom only occurs if he is overly stressed or dealing with anxiety.

The man also is a mediocre shot when it comes to shooting a gun, since he’s only begun to learn how to use one recently.

HABITS
Flicks his hair out of his face constantly, but the strands continue to fall in his face no matter how hard he tries to get them away (one may say he should just cut his hair but he has personal reasons for it’s length). Writes in his personal journal each night.

HOBBIES
People watching, reading, catching up on current events, scavenging for items, mainly clothes (he’s recently lost one of his spats and is trying to dig up another so he doesn’t look as hodge podged)

HA HA GOOD LUCK READING ALL THAT;;;

For those who got this far, have some trivia:

-Achilles is based off the theme of Revolution, mainly French ones
-His under-clothes is suppose to be based off the kid to the right of Liberty in Eugène Delacroix’s famous painting “Liberty Leading the People”
-‘Achilles’ means “He who embodies the grief of the people”, while ‘Toussaint’ comes from the leader of the Haitian Revolution, Toussaint L’Ouverture

Hope you like him!
