Talking about my snzocs again. A long standing but rarely talked about one this time. TW/CW CHARACTER HAS PRETTY SEVERE PTSD.
Meet Carpophorus. HEAVILY based off of Muriel from The Arcana and Roman Gladiators.
So basically he's an unbeaten champion. He's retired and has severe PTSD from the arena. Without the gladiator barracks to live in, he found employment as a farmer's fieldhand and earned enough money to buy a small place on the city outskirts. Before then, he slept in the farmer's barn. He earned a good amount of money in a fairly short time frame, as the particular farm he helps on has a wealthy family sponsoring it in return for a share of the harvest and a few select livestock and the farmer could afford to pay him decently for his assistance.
Many things can trigger his PTSD. Including loud crowds, the sound of metal on metal (he avoids blacksmiths and forges for this reason) and the smell of blood. The sight of blood is usually fine if it's only a little, but if there's a lot and especially if there's enough to smell it, he freaks out.
He owns no animals of his own. But he loves the company of the farmer's livestock. It saddens him deeply to see them slaughtered for food and he avoids the situation. The farmer is well aware of his sensitivities and does not ask him to partake in it, especially as the fear and struggle of the selected animals can trigger Carpophorus.
His trigger symptoms include crying, fleeing, hiding, contact avoidance, and hyperventilating/panic.
He's just into his late twenties and was retired from the arena due to his inability to continue fighting from his PTSD.
Unusually for me, Carpophorus is more of a caretaker than a sickie. But he can get sick too. His sneezes are normally loud, let out, and impossible to stifle.
He's a giant of a man with borderline herculean strength. He's sunkissed, but not quite tan and has close cropped dark hair with eyes like ebony. He's heavily scarred all over his body with the biggest being a huge, knotted and pale scar slashing diagonally across his back from the right shoulder to the left hip.
