[hider=Whisper] WRITE YOUR NAME AND WHAT YOU'D LIKE TO BE CALLED. Name's John. Mom gave me that one. Most people call me Whisper though. HOW OLD ARE YOU? A LIFE STAGE IS FINE IF YOU DON'T KNOW. Since I came to be and started counting I'd say it's been 25 years, give or take 3 years. HOW WOULD I RECOGNIZE YOU IF I'VE NEVER SEEN [url=https://i.imgur.com/BNk5R7Q.png]YOU[/url] BEFORE? That's a tricky one. I don't show my face that regularly, to be honest. Neither do I use the same clothes too often. I suppose if you were to ask someone who saw my face before it would be the eyes. They are pitch black. Yes, it's weird, I know, but they work fine. In fact, they work better than just fine. The only problem is that I can't really look at the light without them hurting, so I use a mask with some goggles. I suppose the mask could be a good giveaway too since I don't change that. Other than this, I'm not too sure. Don't make a habit of looking at myself in the mirror that often either. Mostly it's just the mask. WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW? Looking to steal the treasure of a god, or, if those don't exist, the closest thing to one. WHY? Mom always said to dream big, so I dreamt as big as I could and finally settled on a god. I kept thinking to myself if there wasn't something bigger than that, but couldn't really come up with anything, so I put that there for now. Oh yeah, as for the why, I guess it's because I made a bet with a friend of mine about who would be able to accomplish the biggest feat after 30 years of being adventurers, so just to make sure I wouldn't lose I decided to steal from a god. Why steal? Well, it's what I'm best at doing. What did we bet? To be honest, I think we forgot to settle on it before parting ways. I should get back to him on that at some point. WHAT WOULD YOU RATHER BE DOING? There's nothing that I'd rather be doing than stealing expensive things. Never put too much thought into this question before. I suppose that if I had to absolutely choose something else to do, it would be to open a shop where I could sell expensive things. But if I'm not stealing expensive things, how would I be able to sell them in the first place? This is a truly difficult matter for me. WHAT'S SOMETHING YOU'RE GOOD AT, THAT YOU'RE PROUD OF? IT CAN BE SOMETHING STUPID, THAT'S OKAY. I'm good at stealing things. Of course, not as in pointing a gun at people and telling them to give me their stuff, and more stealing in the sense of taking their things without them noticing. I do it all the time. Sometimes I find things in my bag that I have no recollection of stealing either. Some would say it is a curse, and others, no doubt trying to smear my reputation, say that I am just making excuses. Either way, it's just my expertise and, not particularly exaggerating, I'm very good at it, probably among the best out there, I reckon. At occasions, though, I steal things from good people on impulse and later regret it. What I do then, is put the stuff back exactly where I found it, even if I took it from someone's back pocket and it's the middle of the night and they are sleeping soundly in bed with their loved ones. This may prove even harder than stealing something in the first place. Oh, I'm also pretty handy with knives. WHAT'S SOMETHING YOU SUCK AT, THAT IMPACTS YOUR DAILY LIFE? I'm not very good at communicating. Well, I can speak clearly, but sometimes I envision what I'm going to say in my mind and it just comes out entirely different from what I was trying to express as if someone else was speaking through my mouth. It's a very complicated thing and I'm not really sure why it happens, but it has put me into difficult spots more than one time. This is also something I am looking into, but it is not a big priority, as I seemingly managed to get myself by just fine up until now, so it shouldn't be a problem for our crew. Hopefully. WHAT'S SOMETHING YOU LOVE THAT PEOPLE WOULD PROBABLY JUDGE YOU FOR? Stealing. Well, I guess I also like tunnels. I don't know what it is, but the dark and closed-off ambient is oddly comforting to me. I sleep there at times too when I can. I have met many of my friends down at these places, and though some people call me weird for it, I don't really care. I try to take showers after I go down there, though. WHY DO YOU FEEL LONELY? I am a person who never stops traveling, so many of the friends I make I almost never meet again. Sometimes this life can be lonely at times, but whenever I feel down I always remind myself of my goals and the sadness never really drags me down. So most times loneliness is not a problem, but I would be lying if I say I don't prefer traveling with a few companions. DESCRIBE YOUR PARENTS, CARETAKERS, OR WHATEVER WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR FEEDING YOU. Mom was the one who took me in when I needed it. She wasn't really my real mom, but she was still mom for me. She had an orphanage where she took in lots of children who had nowhere else to go. There she taught us things that helped us stay alive and earn money for ourselves. It was with her that I learned how to first steal from people and found my true life's calling. Now that I think about it, raising dozens of professional thieves out of orphans was a really morally questionable decision of her part, but I suppose all of us could tell that she had only the best intentions at heart while doing it. I think. When I grew older, I decided to go on my journey and not burden her anymore. Haven't heard of her since, but I'm sure she's well. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THEM? She is the person I care the most about in this world and would do anything for her. I'm sure that is about as clarifying as I could be. WHERE DO YOU FIND LOVE AND COMFORT NOW? HINT: THE ANSWER IS NEVER NOWHERE. In my goals and knowing that mom will always help me and take me in again in my time of need. Talking with some of my good friends is pretty comforting too. WHY ARE YOU DIFFERENT FROM EVERYBODY ELSE? I suppose the eyes or the voice thing could be a good start. I don't really think that most people steal for a living either. But I guess that's not what you are asking about. I don't really know how I'm different than most people. I just follow my goals in life and like to make friends. That is pretty normal, right? I suppose this is more of a question you should make to other people who know me, I'm not sure if I can add anything relevant to this. WHAT DO YOU WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING? I want to one day steal something from the most powerful being in this world. I suppose that should be a good test for my abilities, and perhaps after that, I'll be sure that there's nothing I can't steal. That aligns pretty well with that whole bet thing, I think. DO YOU TRUST ME? Trust is earned gradually. I went into this because I was up to trusting you to some degree in commanding this whole adventure as it could bring me closer to my goals, but no further than that. I know that sounds a bit crass, but in the end I think this is a pretty normal reasoning. Maybe after a while we could turn into good friends. At that point, you shouldn't wonder about this question anymore. I always trust my friends. [hr] OOC: Give a non-spoilery synopsis of a short adventure plot that would be personally meaningful to your character. Whisper's mission of stealing something from a god brings with it many complications by simple association to the idea, and that's not even regarding the proper stealing part. First of all, he needs to know if gods exist, and if they do, where he could find them. That's something humanity has been asking itself with no proper reply for thousands of years, or so he had been told. But after painstakingly researching into the topic, the man finally found as good of a lead as he would probably get. His answers laid in an old legend that folk told each other from time to time, about a certain individual who had once met with a god and had been enlightened to the truths of the world. Though such a search seemed to be grasping at straws at best, it was all Whisper had, and a question as old as human life itself that plagued and bothered civilizations since time immemorial would not stop this man from stealing something to win a bet.
