Description:
Standing at 6'3", with broad shoulders that taper to a narrow waist, arms as thick as some's heads, Achille is anything if a sight to be reckoned with. Dark gold skin, like that of coffee mixed with milk, is often coated with a layer of sweat, as the male is often found sneaking to the training field between classes. Scars from training are scattered over his body, though only one of note can be seen in his usual outfit of a fitted grey sweater -knitted by his mother- and loose black pants. It begins just where his left ear meets his jaw, following along the stubborn bone before jerking sharply upwards towards the left corner of his mouth.
Not particularly unpleasant to look at, the scar seems to pull that side of his mouth into a permanent frown, making his smiles look, at best, more like smirks. Thin black brows are often furrowed in concentration below a narrow forehead, set above a strong, straight nose and structured cheekbones. His narrow eyes are almond-shaped, the irises a deep, chocolate brown, though they often seemed to be thread when gold in the light.
His pin-straight tresses are often neglected, the waist-length strands kept pulled back into a simple ponytail at the base of his neck. This puts on display the two silver pins that dangle from each earlobe, the only decoration on his body other than a red ribbon tied daintily around his right wrist.
Personality:
Dependable as an oak tree and as passionate as a forest fire, Achille holds within him a temper that could rival any beast's wrath, and a sense of responsibility that won him the approval of many teachers. Most often in a rather feisty temperament, Achille is prone to passionate arguments with those that didn't know better, usually long out-lasting his competitor. Prone to holding a grudge, he has as many friends as he does enemies, his zeal and hard-headed determination winning loyalty and breeding annoyance. Often times, it seems the only soft spot he has is for the tiny Zinnia, who is protects with a vigour that he usually only holds for battle and swordplay.
History:
The oldest of four sons of a miner and a merhcant's daughter, Achille was born to be a protector and, at length, a fighter. With his father at the orichalum mines and his mother selling her wares in the marketplace most days, Achille was tasked with not only teaching himself useful skills, but also with raising his three younger brothers. He took on the role of a father from a very young age, instilling within him a deep sense of responsibility and commitment, though it didn't improve his short temper or his lack of patience. He was sent to study at the Academy when he was 14, his second brother old enough to take care of the younger two, giving Achille a chance to live his own life and move down his own path.
Other:
Nothing in particular.
Relationships:
Zinnia Demarais's bestfriend and self-appointed protector.
