[b]Name:[/B] [color=00aeef]Vaezel Vzaz[/color]
[b]Alias:[/B] [color=00aeef]Card[/color]
[b]Age:[/B] [color=00aeef]103[/color]
[b]Gender:[/B] [color=00aeef]Male[/color]
[b]Species:[/B] [color=00aeef]Drow[/color]
[b]Class:[/B] [color=00aeef]Wizard[/color]

[b]Appearance:[/b] Vaezel Vzaz, who only goes by the moniker "Card" these days, is a rather ordinary looking Drow. His face is rather pointed and jagged in every sense of the word, from his pointed ears, pronounced jaw-line, and sunken eyes. His skin is a purplish-blue tone that is somewhat uncommon, and more of a byproduct of his exposed time above the surface and a family line leading back to a High-Elven family that's name has long been forgotten. His figure is rather lithe from a malnourished lifestyle and a lack of exercise, while his chest and back expose the marks of a childhood spent whipped and beaten. Card's hair is a tangled mess of stark white hair

Card's entire look is designed to hide his true skill-set. His fondness of reds, greens, and browns within his style are more of a byproduct of his mentor's own apparel rather than his own stylistic choice. The clothes don't exactly fit on their own, so Card has to actually pad his clothing to make it seem more well-fitting than it would hung on his lithe and bony form. His accessories, namely his jewelry and his highly stylized pack of cards in a holster on his belt, make Card appear as little more than a charlatan pretending to be a wizard.

[B]Personality:[/B] 
[indent]
[list]
[*]Grandiose - When in public, Card overplays the persona of a wandering magician as much as possible. It's all part of the act.
[*]Cautious – Card isn't one to be overly trusting. He keeps his past close to the chest.
[*]Greedy – Who doesn't like to hoard as much coin as possible?
[*]Narcissist – Card knows that he is typically one of the most knowledgeable people in the room, and he will be the first to tell you as such.
[*]Pretentious - While he only lived the life of a refined scholar for a short time, he took a liking to it and seeks its comforts even on the road.

[B]Motivation:[/B]
Card is seeking the better life he believes he is owed. He wants wealth, opulence, and status as a respected academic. And he will do whatever it takes to achieve as such. 

[B]History:[/B] 
Vaezel, nicknamed "Card" from a young age, was born into a world destined for nothing great. He was a peasant of two exiled Drow who tried to make their money through cons, thievery, and murder. They met violent ends when Card was still a child, killed by the guards after a botched robbery turned into a homicide. And as a young Drow watched the corpses of his parents dragged away by the guard, his new life began when he was approached by a strange looking man.

Garkan Blackwell, a semi-trained street magician, took the boy under his wing. He taught the boy everything he needed to know about the art of deception. From that young age, Card helped the magician to con his way into moderate wealth. As he grew older, Card learned more than just tricks with a deck of cards and how to give a false fortune. Garkan was a semi-trained wizard, and did what he could to begin teaching Card the same tricks of the trade. By the time Card reached his 100th birthday, he had learned practically all he could from the now old man. Garkan's health was failing, so the two settled down in a small town and used their gathered wealth to live for two years in relative opulence. It was nice for the two to not have to worry about skipping from town to town, and instead had plenty of wine and food to keep them well.

All good things must come to an end, however. Garkan died in his sleep one night about a year ago. Card used the money he had saved up to pay for a decent funeral, and left without a coin to his name. He spent the past year travelling and performing on his own, but he hasn't felt the same since Garkan's passing. The two had always dreamed of making it big, and having their name whispered about in even the largest of cities as celebrities of sorts. Fame may have a higher price, however, than Card will be willing to pay.

[B]Equipment: [/B][indent][list]
      [*]A rather odd Outfit, [*]a dagger, [*]a staff, [*] basic pack of scholarly supplies, [*]A [i]Charlatan's Die[/i], [*]An [i]Enduring Spellbook[/i] made of cards, [*] and a few spare coins. [/list][/indent]

[B]Weakness: [/B][indent][list][*] [color=00aeef]Weak Constitution[/color] – All studying and no play makes Card a very weak Drow. 
[*][color=00aeef]Greed[/color] – A desire for wealth, coin, and respect can make men do irrational and dangerous things.
[*][color=00aeef]Center of Attention[/color] – Card isn't exactly one for blending into the crowd... which isn't always ideal if you cheat and swindle people. [/list][/indent]
