Full Name and/or Titles: His Royal Highness, Suleiman Saladin Ahmed bin-Saleh, Prince of the Arabs
Name: Suleiman, or Sully as he's called by his friends (or rather insists on, would you say that mouthful above?)
Age : 17
Gender :[/b] Male
Role : Student
Biography : Perhaps one of the few people at this school who are a) male and b) coming from a reputable background, despite said background not wanting their reputation to be sullied. How, you may ask? It is a long tale..
Suleiman was born in Riyadh, Arabia, to the Esteemed Royal House Ahmed, the family that catapulted Arabia out of Ottoman clutches and into modernity for the past odd century. His family's opulence is only matched by the secrecy that it's offspring are raised in, groomed in isolation to prevent assassination and to perfect the shrewd negotiator who would lead the Arabian peninsula, it's wealth and cultural prestige among the Muslims both in the Middle East and beyond, into an ever brighter future of power, wealth and more prestige. So far, the shy child that would become Suleiman exceeded everyone's expectations. Perhaps not as well in math as they'd prefer, but excelling in languages and understanding of economics from a very young age, and an equally unprecedented move would be his father raising his sister, Aziza, alongside him. Aziza and Suleiman got along together splendidly, but however Aziza proved both to kind hearted and tomboyish to be considered a viable heir, and thereby needed to be eliminated.
It was decided that Aziza would be "removed" during the family's trip to Mecca to fulfill the hajj, but Suleiman was captured as well as he attempted to rescue his sister. He would wake up in the slums of Abu Dhabi, thousands of miles away from his comfortable home, and learning the meaning of hard work. Surprisingly, he enjoyed playing through the streets of the shanty towns surrounding the high and lofty towers of the wealthy. He would learn how they attained that wealth through exploitation and guile, deceit and cunning. The young prince, upon returning after a year and age 14, would vow to use those skills against the scum who undoubtedly kidnapped her sister, all he needed was a plan.
The newfound publicity of an Arab prince being rescued and living in the slums allowed him to view and have foreign businessmen vie for his attention and wealth, and he would wisely invest in those who proved faithful and honest. A year and several offshore bank accounts later, Suleiman would disappear yet again into the desert.
Once the young man seemingly rode the winds of Arabia under the name "Dhai' " (which means "Wanderer"), rubbing shoulders with card sharks, crime lords, undercover agents and most commonly, the downtrodden. He would be found by INTERPOL agents having a breakfast of spam and sardines, and allegedly offered the taskforce some. Rather than be permanently locked away for numerous charges, he chose to go to Redstone Academy to "clean up his act"
Now he will sit idly and discontentedly in the classrooms of etiquette, and wondering if he could once again gain the wealth or power of the top one percent to find his sister again...
Personality : "While some may roll their eyes at his skirt-chasing antics, it hides a deeper sense of compassion for the downtrodden. For better or worse, he may attempt to help you with your troubles or shoulder your burdens for you (which of course is psychologically unhealthy for both Suleiman and whoever has the burdens). A very down to earth fellow, he rarely uses his royal blood for anything, as he prefers gaining things through his own merit (or stealing them), and is very casual and open-minded to all people, and tends to have a distrust of "stuffed shirt" authorities.
Despite his big heart and devil-may-care demeanor, he's much more intelligent than he lets on, though not in the ways of books or reciting Socrates. His years among the foreign slaves Abu Dhabi and the slums of the Mediterranean have taught him how to read people and call bluffs or make his own. This combined with his quick thinking and ability to improvise makes him a deadly opponent in both verbal and physical battles. If he were to focus more on his studies, he would be a savvy negotiator for diplomatic or commercial purposes, psychiatrist, or a lawyer. Once his loyalty is earned, or his disdain, it rarely fades." - Dr. Lannibal Hector, M.D. Psychoanalysis and Therapy

Formal Outfits: He usually wears a white thwab for Friday prayers, alongside a stark white keffiyeh. Formal occasions would call for the same white keffiyeh, a colored thwab with the bisht over it. (I provide no links, because I want to make this a (relatively) short intro, if you are curious to any of the items, feel free to look them up at your leisure.)
Regular Outfit: He usually wears polo shirts, or graphic tees depending on the rigidity of the dress code at Redstone. Within the Academy itself, he wears either the uniform, or an acceptable polo/sweater combo or polo/ button down and cuffed sleeve t-shirt with nice pants (khakis usually). If he can get away with wearing casual clothes, he will. His "trademark" for lack of a better term is a patterned or colored kiffiyeh usually worn alongside his regular clothes (but not at work for fear of dirtying or damaging it, or in places where hats aren't allowed)
Work Outfit: See above, he usually makes his "work" outfit different than his regular/school outfit. (I presume you mean working a job...?)
Accessories and Extra : 5(Five) keffiyeh type headdresses, the colored ones are used for everyday wear, while the stark white ones are used for formal occasions. Several (unknown or conveniently numbered) handkerchiefs, he seems to be using these after watching The Intern.
Extra : 1(one) deck of standard 52 playing cards, 1(one) Copy of Tibyan ul-Quran by Ghulam Rasul Sa'idi (a tafisir, which translates to "interpretation", basically a NIV Bible version of the Qu'ran)
