Appearance
Standing at six feet and one inch, and weighing one hundred and eight pounds, Strom is purely built muscle. Due to his years working on the water and boats, and the two arena fights he was drug into, muscle ripples across every inch of his body. His light brown hair is spiked upwards and slightly sleeked backwards into a very attractive style that accents his face. Dark brows curve over sea green eyes. Small piercings can be found upon his left ears. Usually he wears thick cuffs in the piercings. His nose is razor sharp and set over full lips. His high cheek bones are not too pronounced but give his face a well defined shape.
Along his neck he often wears a wide silver chain. His strong hands are always callused from his work. Often times his fingers will be raw and cracked from his time spent tying knot after knot. His lips and eyes are prone to smile, hiding his true emotions. He often wears clothing that reveals his torso. A black vest that barely covers anything is his normal garb. Stamped upon the front of the vest is a golden circle with a trident within it, the symbol of his family.
Jeans in various shades of disarray cover his legs. His pants are tight enough to show off his body yet loose enough to allow movement. Many scars cross his body, marks from fights won. An 'X' shaped scar marks his right hip, a mark from two small knives. A nasty gouge is twisted on his left side, just below his ribs. Along his right calf is a long slice from a sword. The narrow scar is nearly invisible unless you're looking for it. Strom is almost always seen carrying his trident. He will occasionally carry other items as well but the trident is his only constant.
Personality
Strom is an expert at hiding his emotions. Being forced to fight and kill in the arena would be hard for anyone to deal with. Compared to what happened afterwards though, killing people was easy. Become a slave and having his body sold was something he had never imagined. Knowing what could happen if he fought back, Strom was able to hide his emotions. Hiding his care for his family and friends was a difficult task. His worry would have eaten him up inside if he hadn't found his coping mechanism, knot tying. Whenever he would worry he would tie and untie knots until his fingers bled.
He tries to look on the bright side but since his escape he was been quite lost. He has to start anew and build a new life for himself but he honestly does not know how to do that now. His brain has been so twisted by his years of servitude that he doesn't know how to live without it. This means he is a little too open to suggestions, feeling that if he says no there will be consequences. Depression sneaks in through the cracks in his facade but he works hard to project an upbeat attitude.
Everything in his life is measured in consequences, wondering if the rewards are ever really greater. He also works hard not to be noticed. If he were to be recognized by the wrong person and word were to get back those he cares about will be in danger. The world has not been kind to Strom and he no longer knows how to live within it. How does one live in a world that always kicks you when you're down? He's working hard to make a new life for himself but living in fear makes things difficult.
History
Sad. Alone. Proving you strength in an arena should open the door to fame, glory, and peace. For Strom it was much the opposite. He was a favorite, considered very attractive. Something to be sold for a price. He refused, of course he refused. But there were friends and family that could be used against him. Everyone has a breaking point. Finding Strom's was not hard. What could a young boy from a sea side nation do against those who could end the lives of those he cared about without so much as blinking an eye. Thus his life descended into darkness.
For four long years his life was darkness. Slavery. Sex. He gained things from his actions however. People liked to give him gifts, and his favorite was the gift of secrets. By the time he was twenty he was able to use his secrets and connections to buy his freedom. Would he ever really be free? He ran to the Rain Village and pledged his services in exchange for safety. Out of the frying pan and into the fire. He moved from being a slave one place to being a slave for another. This couldn't possibly be as bad though, right?
He learned quickly that he was still at a loss. How could he get by without doing what he had always done? How could he keep going without his family or friends? If he went back to try and see them they would only be killed. He had to protect those he cared about, no matter what happened to him. Running away put them in danger, but going back would get them killed. Strom's life has been in turmoil for over four years now and he's just beginning to try to piece together a new life with little success.
