32 y/o, Male, Human/Arab-Persian, Merchant & alchemist
PERSONALITY
Of pleasant character Sareen is like any merchant, a man of charm and wit, ready to haggle and negotiate for the best deal for himself and rarely speaking in the interest of another. Instilled within him is the natural reservedness from the Arabs, instilled with their history of philosophy and jurisprudence. There is little the man takes offence to, used as he is to be disrespected as a trader while on the road, and above all to the differences in culture of the places he visits. A connoisseur of the scholarly arts Sareen rarely passes by an opportunity to dabble himself within the deeper folds of higher education and arcane knowledge contained within the Persian empire and its allies. An indiscrete dabbling that has earned the man quite a reputation as rumours whisper that within his learned mind there are curses and charms stored within, ready to be used. Some say it is his half Arab and Persian blood coursing through him, born from an union between the Ghulam and Foosla. Other sources suggest he may actually be a djinn, or born from an unholy copulation with a djinn, fulfilling the deepest darkest desires of luck seekers who wish to strike rich. Nevertheless, there is no proof of any talent for magic from the man other than his keen interest in anything that goes outside of the average human understanding, rune and all.
BIOGRAPHY
Ghazaleh was a plagued woman, born to a wealthy Persian merchant and described to live like a princess. A plagued woman haunted nightly by the images of creatures she didn't understand. Doctor and quack, all were invited to cure the lady of her ailments, as long as they worked in discretion and promised a cure. None helped and her hysterics remained. Once the object of envy for women and lust for men, everyone believed Ghazaleh to be the bride of a prince, a future king. Perhaps she would have been, if it wasn't for the misfortune of her ailing mind and the visions disturbing her.
A constant invasion, she would describe it later, when she was finally cured, but not after that a mysterious Arab had visited her, claiming to have the cure, wanting no payment and leaving behind only his name 'Nadim'. Months later her belly swelled and Nadim couldn't be found. Nine months later Sareen was born, hidden from the public and presented as a foundling, another future servant and employee of his very own grandfather.
Ghazaleh would eventually marry a much older man, hidden in seclusion and never to return to her maternal home in which Sareen was groomed into servitude without any knowledge of his own fortune of heritage. That was until 'Nadim' returned, claiming his son and taking the boy with him to travel. Years later once more and Sareen returned to the Persian empire, now a merchant himself, but with seemingly no mind to rival his mother's inheritance or lay claim on it.
If anyone asks, Sareen will claim that his mother was a simple Persian woman and his father an Arab merchant.
ABILITIES
Endowed - Warp; to warp or to decay means to understand what's warped or decomposed to a molecular level. To know what components and building blocks hold it together or keep it apart. It is to know what the container is and what the filling is, how it breathes and reacts to every shift and change. It is all that and the ability to envision it. It starts with the ability to reform stone to sand and sand to stone, but ends with life itself. Each organism, different and unique, each breath not the same. Sareen can bend and break, but not return life or return to a previous state he hasn't been able to witness or see. An old wound stays a a scar, a missing limb won't return, death cannot breathe again. Sareen cannot create that what's not there anymore, or to begin with, or hasn't understood himself.
