isaac poplawski
In the World of Dishonored
Isaac was born in Tamarak, Tyvia, a port city south-east in the northern-most isle. An only child, he was raised by his father, Felix, and, up until he was eight years old, his mother, Maria, who left the family abruptly one morning and was never seen again.
Isaac's early childhood was a quiet and lonely one. There was little to do aside from schoolwork, reading, and helping his father occasionally with the family business — an antique shop that resides right below their home. Well behaved and well mannered, he rarely if ever outwardly expressed his emotions — his sadness and disconent — even if it were made apparent by his apathy and indifference to most things and people, and his isolation. Culturally, Tyvians are just like him, quiet and introverted. So, no one questioned it. Though, Isaac did have his moments where he wished someone did. That someone would say something about it. Even his father, who was more sensitive and open of the two, couldn't seem to do that despite his efforts to show Isaac that he was there, and that he cared.
Isaac was often left to his own devices in terms of things to do to stimulate and entertain himself. He learned quickly, by the time he entered his teens, that his favourite method of this was running and climbing, seeing how high he could get and not end up slipping and snapping his neck. In a large city like Tamarak, there are more buildings than there are trees, so his hands grew calloused getting used to stone and metal versus tree bark and sharp branches.
