Basic Info

Name:	Erol
Birthdate:	1987-03-26

Bio

Character Name: Erol
Series: Jak and Daxter
Gender: Male
Age: Early thirties
Species: Humanoid
Sexuality: Pansexual

Appearance: Erol is slender to the point of being unhealthy, hiding it under a mix of armor and other finery. Naturally stocky, he stands at about 5'6'' - short compared to typical soldiers under his command who vary between 5'8'' and 6'0''. Despite his diminutive stature he stands tall and straight, obviously a terribly proud individual.

Erol's face is covered in gray blocked tattoos which mark him as a member of Haven's elite police guard. His eyes are hazel and often dilated as if in perpetual surprise. His shock-orange hair is short and spiked back, half-hidden by a racing mask which the man never seems to go without. The mask itself resembles an insects' face, the eye-guards red and bulbous and the ventilator somewhat like the front grill of an automobile. His chest armor is think and looks relatively heavy, decorated in the proud red and white of Haven City's Krimzon Guard. The military police symbol - a circular monstrous face - is prominent on the pauldrons and the chest guard itself.

His racing gear, while garish, is actually functional in that regard. The blues and yellow cordura is bright enough to be recognizable on a racetrack which would, in theory, cause him to stand out from the pack. The fabric itself alternates throughout the two colors, green patches on both forearms proclaiming 'Erol' in Precursor. His knee guards are made out of a stiff, reflective metal; his boots are leather and also encased in the same metal, with three-inch metal spikes splaying upwards from the top.

Personality: Arrogant, egotistical and not a bit maniacal, Erol is representative of a host of mental illnesses and neuroses stemming from a militaristic childhood. He is cocky to the point of being painful, with a wit and ardor to back it up.

Driven to be the best at everything, he reacts to situations with an almost exaggerated sense of perfection. He has a clinical sense of calm in situations which would otherwise drive a normal person to panic; in battle he is calm and detached. Though the cold demeanor masks a indescribable amount of rage. When Erol takes something personally, he takes it personally, going to great ends to make sure the offending party pays with nothing less than their blood spilling out in lovely little rivers before him.

Abilities: Erol has been trained in the art of military strategy since childhood and is able to understand the multiple facets of a situation. He is a fighter to his core, knowledgeable in both ranged and close combat.

He's a smooth-talker, at least until his hackles are raised, and despite being a smart-ass is able to carry on social relationships fairly well.

Erol also has a talent for all things which include a motor - be it motorcycles, hover bikes, or a simple car. He has both a passion and an innate talent for the mechanical.

Weaknesses: Despite being able to maintain alliegances and social ties, Erol is piss-poor at anything having to do with personal relationships. He's simply too callous to actually have as a friend - and his general apathy of anything in that regard doesn't help matters. He regards others as a means to an end.

His mania often gets him into trouble, as does his penchant for violence. If pushed, he will react explosively, losing all sense of judgment whatsoever.

Considering his mania, Erol also suffers from a list of mental illnesses, including though not limited to Sociopathy, Depersonalization, Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Manhattanite or outsider? Outsider

History: Not a lot is known about Erol's childhood. He seems to have materialized out of nowhere around the age of eighteen, enrolling in the Krimzon Guard and quickly working his way up the ranks. Concurrently, he began racing in the NYFE Grand Prix (NYFE being the designation of air racer popular within Haven City). - both paths culminating in his being named Commander and the Number One racer in the city, respectively. He both defended the city against the Metal Head invasions (Metal Heads being ravenous, disgusting creatures supposedly born of Dark Eco) and controlled the populace with the cliched iron fist.

Baron Praxis' right-hand man, it was he who suggested the Dark Warrior Program - an experimental attempt at creating the ultimate soldier, injecting death-row inmates with Dark Eco to see the result. Typically, this resulted in death. In Jak, however, he found both a mute test subject and strawman, going to great lengths to put the boy in as much pain as possible.

Eventually, Jak - tainted by the Dark Eco and now with an uncontrollable alter-ego - escaped, vexing Erol to the point of retaliation. He harassed the boy for the better part of a year, tracking his whereabouts, alliances and day-to-day activities. He did not, however, turn Jak into the Praxis or even throw him in jail; he delighted in being able to strike against Jak in a cat-and-mouse fashion, going so far as to seduce Jak's childhood friend and love-interest, Keira.

Eventually these spats culminated in his racing against Jak in the NYFE Grand Prix - a race which Jak ultimately won, bruising Erol's ego in front of millions of onlookers. In a fury, he attempted to kill Jak by running him over after the Prix. Jak, however, was able to dodge and Erol smashed into the city's supply of Eco.

Undoubtedly, this killed him - it was similar to a wet person slamming headfirst into a live power line. However, he woke up in Manhattan, still furious at having lost the race.
