Occupational Bio: Salvador is the owner and CEO of the
Matadero Meat Company, established in June of 2014 and located at 100 Rose Mill Point on the south side of the road just beyond the Rhydin City Gates on the east side. The facility sits on a hill overlooking a small slum of a village that has come to be known as Eastgate Village. The residents of this village are governed by a short, rotund elf by the name of Mayor Iethi, whose power is contingent upon maintaining Salvador's approval. For despite the fact that he left Mayor Iethi in charge, the residents of the Village of Eastgate view Salvador as their lord and sovereign since his rise to power as a Fae Lord in the spring of 2020.
Shortly after the construction of the Matadero Meat Company, Salvador purchased and renovated a corner lot in the Old Market District and opened the doors of the
Matadero Carnicería in July of 2015. He completely owns the building, but leaves it in the care of Boscoe and Lyle Stiggowitz, the butchers who run the shop for him. There are two apartments on the upper floor, one of which is rented out to
Eden Parker.
Since the autumn of 2015, Salvador has been the captain of the IFL team
Deathcake, who rose instantly to fame as being undefeated in the regular season of its debut year. Since that time, Salvador has earned many dueling accolades. 2021 was an especially strong year for the Spaniard, wherein he finally achieved the title of Overlord in Duel of Swords. He continues to succeed in all three of the dueling sports, and in January of 2022 even finally acquired the Key to an elemental Tower, which he defended twice. A feat that nobody, not even Salvador himself, imagined he would ever do.
As recently as the summer of 2022, Salvador invested in a local soccer team for the Village of Eastgate. Much like the village itself, however, he delegated its management to a third party. Though their field (Shanty Town Stadium) is nothing to write home about, the Eastgate Echidnas are happy to see themselves on the roster of Rhydin's official
Dragon League.
Distinguishing Features: There is a network of vein-traced black ink on his skin in some places, most notably under the tear duct of his right eye across the cheek. A single steel hoop is pierced through the lobe of his left ear. Two tiny steel spikes are pierced through the flesh under his lower lip on either side (snake bites). Numerous tattoos and scarification, listed as follows.
- etched into the skin directly over his heart, is a five inch diameter sun with bands of words in a jumble of languages across it, like chains, done in black with slight traces of red.
- on the curve of his left hip the letters S I N are carved into his skin, an old and continuously touched-up bit of scarring.
- directly beneath the above is smaller script scar tissue reading the word siempre.
- off center above his navel and under his left pectoral, a curve of looping black script which reads: C'est un désign simple et élégant.
- a cupcake shaped skull and crossbones with a cherry on top on his outer right deltoid, upper arm.
- along the curve of an upper rib on the left side, under the arm, the phrase forever is a lie done in small script black ink.
- scarification below this in the shape of three neat lines that underscore the above tattoo along his ribs.
- scarification in the shape of a bite mark over his ribs on his right side.
- scarification on his right thigh in the shape of a three line chevron pointing down at his knee.
- on the joint closest to his hand on his right index finger is a black chess king's crown made to pair with a very close friend's queen.
- fresh scarification on his upper right pectoral in the shape of a crown.
- above the bend of his right elbow, the numbers 1 2 1 are carved into his inner arm.
- two parallel horizontal lines of scarification underscoring the above three numbers.
- on the underside of his right forearm, the phrase The more, and more deeply. done in black ink from wrist to elbow.
It is important to note the spikes. These are not a form of newfangled elaborate body art. They are in fact a part of his body, connected to an extra joint attached to each of the five lumbar, twelve thoracic, and three of the lower cervical vertebrae of his spine. These spikes are hinged, capable of snapping and locking erect as a self-defense mechanism to protect his back when in danger. Mostly they lay flat along his spine, but in detail are all three inches long, tapering to a point, and serrated on the underside. Of twenty total, two are missing, leaving gaps along his thoracic curve, specifically at T5 and T10.
Physical Attributes: Salvador is somewhat pridefully athletic and exercises daily to maintain an optimum physique for running, swimming, and hunting. He is particularly talented at the free-form sport of parkour, though he never competes. He is adept at knife throwing and the handling of many various melee weapons (swords, flails, whips, chains, polearms and so on).
An extremely little known fact that is
not common knowledge because he does not go around telling everybody he meets... Salvador is afflicted with
monochromacy, a rare form of color blindness. With his condition he cannot see any colors at all. He perceives everything in shades of gray. On very rare occasions, and only with the aid of an ingested chemical compound, he
can see color, but otherwise he is completely incapable. The only exception to this rule is when he is reading auras.
Salvador does not wear artificial fragrances and uses very mild soaps without scents to wash with. No signature cologne nor aftershave clings to his skin. However, beneath the layer of man scent, he smells of blood, steel, rot, and ruin. This is not an overpowering aroma, except for when he is bleeding profusely. See notes below about the properties of his blood.
Metaphysical Abilities: Unreadable to empaths and telepaths. He reads as static.
Aura Sight and
psychometry, as well as a variety of other supernatural skills, are at his disposal. Extreme aptitude with use of blood magic, blood crafting, and access to powers associated with the Faerie Winter Court. Can form a hardened, flexible exoskeleton on his skin that coats his entire body save for the head above the throat, palms of his hands, and soles of his feet. This carapace is strong enough to withstand and cushion the blows of bludgeoning and slashing weapons, though can be pierced with enough force backing the assault (bullets, for instance). This living physical armor can seal wounds and staunch blood flow to keep him fighting longer. He is also capable of shaping it to his will to form claws or other various lethal extensions of his body to use in combat.
It is important to note that Salvador's blood is toxic and destructive. His blood is infused with the purest essence of the avatar of natural decay. A single drop can be lethal, and he does not smell the least bit delicious to vampires. Though it is often described as acidic and burning cold (like liquid nitrogen), the truth is that the magical properties infused in his blood work swiftly to reduce any animal, vegetable, or mineral to its base elements, returning it to the dust from whence it came. Imagine one of those time elapsed videos of a rotting animal happening in real time. Enchanted items, iron, and fae silver are immune to the properties of his blood, as well as some people.
Due to the infusion of volatile fae essence in his blood, Salvador radiates an aura of death mingled with that of an apex predator that makes natural animals terrified of him on an instinctual level. Normal pets and wildlife tend to react unfavorably toward him, avoiding being in his presence at all costs. Animals of high intelligence such as familiars and other creatures of consciousness, however, may react with greater calm; he identifies such beings as
unnatural and it is not a guarantee that he will be friendly with them.
Languages Known: Fae, Spanish, English, Irish, Drow, ASL, Italian, Latin, Russian, Greek, Draconic, Demonic, French, and Welsh.
Other Skills & Talents: Excels at chess and strategy games, puzzles. Exceptionally talented at parkour and knife-throwing. A mediocre duelist who engages in leisurely participation of the sports of Swords and Fists. Amateur woodworker; whittling hobby.
*Salvador is polyamorous and open to new relationships, though is not currently actively searching. At present, he is intimately involved in serious, deep relationships with several different people at the same time. They are all aware of each other and perfectly accepting of the fact that Salvador is involved with each of them in various ways, as well as his potential to seek and acquire other intimate partnerships at his leisure. Though they are not necessarily likewise romantically nor sexually involved with each other, his current lasting relationships are with Skid, Sinjin Fai, Rekah Illyriana, and Gatito.
