Shalmos

Shalmos is a resident of Skyuria, living in the capital city of Hadeyra with his husband on the cliffs.

Appearance
Shal is a tall man with long platinum blonde hair that reaches his waist. His ears are long and pierced, matching the colour of his hair. He also has a long, very fluffy tail that matches his hair. His build is slender, though toned and his face is known to be rather beautiful like other Skyurians. His eyes are violet-coloured and downturned at the outer sides, giving him a rather kind and elegant appearance. He has milky pale skin and likes to dress in elaborate and elegant Skyurian clothing and outfits.

In his childhood he sported a bobbed hairstyle and fancy clothing, usually wearing anything his father dressed him in, until deciding to grow out his hair as a teenager.

Personality
Shal is known to be outgoing, almost prince-like and dramatic. He's friendly, optimistic and happy on the outside. On the inside, he is more calculating, and smarter than anyone would assume. Towards his husband, he is known to be protective, doting and lustfully insatiable. He lives carefree, and is even kind of messy when it comes to his home office.

Skills
He is very skilled at swordsmanship, since he was in the military for many years. With elegant moves and quick thinking, he is able to cut down opponents easily.

He also has a remarkable skill in penmanship, as a royal official he has learned to write beautifully and clearly.

History
Shal was the youngest and fourth-born of his family. He was raised alongside his three brothers by his parents, until his mother passed away from illness when he was around seven-years-old. Now at the hands of his father, he was raised to be a perfect soldier. However, since he never really enjoyed the military life, he often got in trouble by his father for messing around and not spending his time training. At fifteen, he was enlisted into the Skyurian military and there he met Maharan, a senior soldier only a year older than him who he had fallen in love with. There was lots of talk of leaving the military together, running away to start a life somewhere new, but it never came to be. After training and fighting battles, Maharan had tragically died by saving Shal in battle. Heartbroken and grieving, he turned for comfort to his only other friend in the military, Haris. Though he couldn't return Haris' romantic feelings for him, he kept him close and intimate for his remaining years of service.

At twenty-five, Shalmos retired from the military and instead got an important job as an official of the Skyurian royal court. Now working a more easy-going job and able to do as he pleased, this is how he met Lia. Coming across the Ulfryaean man at his newly opened shop in Hadeyra's marketplace, he instantly fell for him. At first it was only physical attraction, but it quickly turned into emotional and romantic attraction. They had started dating after a while and after a year, he proposed to Lia. Now living a happy life in the Hadeyra cliff houses, he spends his days doing official work and spending time with his beloved husband.



Lia
Meeting for the first time at Lia's shop when Shal was twenty-six and Lia was twenty-three, the two of them hit it off very easily. Marrying just a year after they started dating, Lia quickly became the most important person in Shal's life. He spoils Lia, buying him gifts often and spending many nights (and days) a week taking him to bed. Shal is whiny and childish when it comes to Lia, but Lia dotes on him just as much. The two of them are attached at the hip, often never seen alone other than if either of them are at work. Overly loving and loyal, Lia is the light of Shal's life.

Raymen
Shal's brother who is two years older than him, Raymen is the closest of Shal's family to him. Raymen likes to dote on Shal, being a very good older brother especially when they were children when their mother recently died. Raymen became a sort of parental figure towards him, taking care of him and sharing a room with him as a child. Shal takes out as much time as possible to be able to see Raymen nowadays. He often visits Raymen or invites him over to his own home. Since Raymen left for Sutria for his work, Shal writes him letters often.

Balthazar
Shal's relationship with his brother Balthazar is complicated. He is not close with him, and never has been. Balthazar's personality is one that Shal hates. Considering that Balthazar takes whatever chance there is to hate on both him and his husband, Shal doesn't like him all that much. Even as a child, Balthazar was not friendly towards him. The only time he ever sees Balthazar is at family gatherings.

Ferris
Shal was never close with his older brother Ferris, and usually only sees him at family events. However, Ferris, though cold and distant when they were younger, has become somewhat more open and friendlier to Shal over the years, probably out of guilt of never being close to him in the first place. Though Ferris and Shal still aren't close, Shal has found it easier in recent times to open up to his oldest brother.

Maharan
Shal's relationship with Maharan was a deep and meaningful part of his life that he still looks back on even today. Maharan was there for comfort when he was in the military as a teen. They had quickly fell for eachother. Most of their freetime was spent together, planning on what they'd do when they could leave the military together. They dreamed of finding somewhere to live, what their life would be like together. However, when Maharan tragically died saving Shal in a battle, Shal went into a grief-induced depression.

Haris
A close friend of Shal's from the military, Haris had developed romantic feelings for him after a while. Now only recently seeing Haris after many years, Shal has quickly become close to him and considers him a close friend. Though Haris still feels romantic feelings towards Shal, he is happy that Shal has found a new love after his last tragic relationship and quietly cheers for him.
