Age: 22

Appearance: Efram is the epitome of a gentle giant. Over 6'6", massive and muscled, he dwarfs most Keys and most Masters as well. Everything about Efram is oversized from his feet to his fingers and everything in between. He has a smooth coppery skin tone, and when they're open, his eyes are laughing, crinkled and grey. Efram's hair is long, straight and deeply blue-black, with a shorter fringe of bluer strands framing his face. Most of the time, he wears it in a single plait down his back, to prevent its becoming to tangled while he sleeps.

Distinguishing Features/Markings: Efram has vaguely Celtic-style tattooed bands completely encircling both biceps and both thighs.

Clothes: When Efram is awake, his taste in clothes tends toward the comfortable. Silk sleep shorts with a matching short robe, things of that sort. Because of the circumstances of his falling asleep, Efram invariably sleeps in the nude.

Personality: Efram is surprisingly gentle and submissive for his size. He is very aware of how easily he could hurt someone, and takes great pains not to. He has a quick wit and a wry sense of humour, though shy as he is, he rarely lets them shine. He is a simple man, surprisingly accepting of his situation, and holds no anger or bitterness toward his family or anyone else. To Efram, life simply is what it is.

Special Gifts: Cursed by a gypsy witch, Efram can only find rest after he has been sexually satisfied, but once he has achieved that release, he slumbers, comatose, for months at a time. More than one Master has found himself trapped under Efram's giant frame when he orgasmed without warning.

Experience/Specialties: Of necessity, Efram has become somewhat skilled at holding off an ejaculation. The Palace staff milks his prostate regularly to aid him in this regard. He has also learned to go without sleep for extended periods. It has become Efram's lot to stay in an almost perpetually aroused state, pleasing his Masters but rarely being allowed his own release.

For the Palace it's a trade off. Few Masters want to have sex with a comatose body, although those that do pay well for the Sloth Key. On the up side, when Efram is comatose, they don't have to pay to feed him.

History: Efram's gentle nature never fit with his warrior clan family, and so when his younger brother was accused of having brutally raped and beaten the daughter of a gypsy family travelling through the area, they offered up Efram to be punished in his stead. Cursed by the gypsies, Efram soon found himself sold to the Palace.

Environment: Because of the nature of Efram's curse, and the unpredictability about where he might slip into sleep, the keyword to describe Efram's room is soft. His floor is covered with the softest of rugs, his furniture very sturdy and well rounded. His bed is basically a mattress on the floor. All to prevent injury from any unanticipated falls.
