He is certainly eccentric, loud, and is not afraid to declare who he is or what he thinks of himself, but he knows there is a time and a place for everything. He is social, seeks to please if he can, but will back off if given the cold shoulder or a rude attitude. He's had to put his foot down before, and will usually wait until he's deemed things have "gone too far" before really asserting himself. For his friends and cousins, he will typically ignore their minor flaws or quirks since he knows them more personally, looking past them to maintain good relations. For his family, he is usually a little more concerned for their well-being and social status. He tries to help them rectify any misdeeds or guide them to a less "deviant" path. In spite of all this, even Farim knows how to have a good time, and when to let loose. Once he picks a direction, whether it be stern, fun, loose, or strict, he will usually stick with that mentality for some time, sometimes the rest of the day.

Sleight of Hand [hr] [h3]History Summary:[/h3] Farim started his youth constantly wandering the halls of his fathers palace, who was much too busy to be an actual father. Farim often gave his caretakers the slip, wanting to peruse the more common areas of town, and mixing amongst the "commonfolk" to see what it was like. While on one of his trips through the markets, he would meet a boy his age by the name of Malik, who he quickly got along with. Their friendship blossomed over the next few years as they would wander the markets and sometimes the palace gardens, ever so careful to not catch the ire of Farim's family. One day, the boys came across a small book shop, seemingly innocent in nature. They walked amongst the shelves and would frequent many books, asking the owner for any rare titles he came across. However, they grew to trust this older man a little too well, and Farim would pay a heavy price for his carelessness. The owner enticed young Malik with a book on birds, his favorite topic to read about, and murdered the young boy in cold blood. Farim informed his father of these happenings, which got the shopkeeper "removed" from the capital and Farim under even heavier watch. From there, he became more calculating and determined to shape the world into a better place. He learned everything he could from the books in the palace about economics, politics, and whatever else he could find that would further his goal of creating a trade empire under the Kadir name. By age 18, he had began to understand the financial workings of the city of Genasea and sought to establish his own trading company, specializing in mineral and luxury imports from across the desert sands. The country was vast and not many ways to safely traverse the desert meant an easy way for Farim to guarantee success. Within a few years he is already accumulated his own vast treasury, and seeks to expand his company beyond the borders of Alidasht if he can. He has spent his days simply honing his skills and knowledge as best he can, wanting to be better than his father. The Grand Vizier may have earned the respect of other nobles, but not Farim. He knows his fathers mannerisms, and has always received a cold treatment from the man. He knows he can't change much...yet, but he will bide his time until he can rise to a higher position above his father and hopefully put the man in his place.

[b][u]When you are in a sour mood, do you like to be alone or with others?:[/u][/b] Honestly it is hard to say.

It is why I even carry a blade or learn to fight, at least what I could pick up. [/hider][/center]
