Name: Dren Rache
Race: Human
Age: 25

Personality Information: Sly and smooth, Dren is something of a wordsmith and could talk a man into selling him everything he owns. Something of a manipulator, Dren tends to use another person’s words against him. This can make him somewhat obnoxious. He holds himself in high standing and is very prideful, often acting posh or upper class despite the truth being anything but.

Brief Backstory: Dren Rache was born in the slums of the town of Diremound, a seedy underbelly of crooks, cheats, liars and slaves. Dren's parents leeched off of the scraps of the city and Dren too was forced to live like them. However, as he grew up, he began to notice he had a keen eye for distinction, mostly in what he could steal from street vendors and other people. He began to grow knowledgeable in materials and herbs, even starting to combine them into chemical remedies and toxins for selling in Diremound. It earned him enough currency to finally make something of himself, when his parents passed away from disease.

Dren left Diremound and made for a richer city as fast as he could, using his knowledge and wares to earn enough coin to make himself look better, desperate to distance himself from his past in Diremound. To this end, he hired a tailor to create clothes for him, a long red cloak and matching top hat to make him appear far more regal and important than he truly was, hiding his rags underneath. He also donned a pair of white gloves to hide his gnarled hands from his work at the cauldron. He also took up sorcery, obtaining his cane in the process and practicing his work outside of the city. Soon he became a more well known figure, for both his resplendent appearance and his wares.

Current Events: Diremound has recently been overrun by monsters and Dren is simply seeking to sell his wares and ritz it up with some of the more important people in town.

Skills: Dren is a skilled mage, having a firm grasp upon magic. He is not a professional, but he knows his way around most forms of a spell. His preferred element of choice is ice. Dren is also a skilled alchemist, having sold his own brews, tinctures, tonics and salves. Given enough time and the right ingredients he can whip up whatever is needed. Dren is also generally intelligent and uses this well in combat, as well as boasting a silver tongue to charm his way around certain individuals, though this has just as much chance to land him in hot water.
Gear:
Trice Majestos Cane: A black walking stick with a gold bottom and rounded orb at the top, emblazoned with three star symbols on the hilt. Whilst normally functioning as a walking stick, the cane also has potential as a magic catalyst and is Dren’s primary form of defending himself. He supposedly made the cane himself and no-one has been able to prove him wrong yet. He also named it.

Item stock: Dren keeps a healthy supply of support items from his travels and a few he whipped up himself across the lands and makes use of them in tough situations. He also keeps a light supply of black powder bombs which he particularly enjoys the use of.

Anelace: A thin silver elongated dagger, a short sword more than anything else. Dren rarely ever used it due to being unskilled in swordplay, it is strictly a last resort.

Etc: Dren is petrified of his old poor life and will go to great lengths to ensure no-one ever knows he was once a lowly beggar, hence training himself to speak eloquently.
