Not remarkably tall, with a lean, mildly athletic build. [color=F0AB4A][b]»[/b][/color] Golden-yellow eyes that are always analyzing, scrutinizing, judging. [color=F0AB4A][b]»[/b][/color] Known for his iconic yellow cloak. Its edges are frayed from years of abuse. [color=F0AB4A][b]»[/b][/color] The cloak's hood seems to always be worn up, even when alone. [color=F0AB4A][b]»[/b][/color] Underneath the cloak appears to be some semblance of disheveled formal attire.

[color=F0AB4A][b]»[/b][/color] Sarcastic and derisive; doesn't hold back voicing his opinion on anything. [color=F0AB4A][b]»[/b][/color] Jaded and cynical, trusting nothing and no one; wary of surroundings and expects the worst. [color=F0AB4A][b]»[/b][/color] Cunning, prone to scheming and strategizing... though his elaborate plans rarely work out. [color=F0AB4A][b]»[/b][/color] Can be impulsive and easily provoked, which usually ends poorly for him. [color=F0AB4A][b]»[/b][/color] Probably likes others more than he lets on, though he'd never admit it. [b]【 [color=F0AB4A]Ideals[/color] 】[/b] [color=F0AB4A][b]»[/b][/color] Freedom – To liberate himself from the side-effects of his curse, or remove it entirely. [color=F0AB4A][b]»[/b][/color] Power – So that no demon can hold authority over him. The tricky part is to not become one himself.[/color][/indent][/indent] [/hider][/indent][/indent] [indent][indent][hider=BACKGROUND ➤] [indent][indent][color=BAB8B8]Going simply by Syd – probably not his full or real name – his history is shrouded in mystery, and he likes to keep it that way. He doesn't tend to confide in others, and when pressed for details, they're typically met with contempt, sarcasm, or some variant of dismissing the question entirely. Not much is known about him, other than his absolute hatred for demons, devils, and creatures of the fell. He's spent a good chunk of his life learning to fight, survive, and end these vile creatures. Nothing brings him more satisfaction. It seems he has some tie to occult magic, and thinks himself "cursed". This "curse" both facilitates his strange shadow abilities, and hinders his everyday life. He has mixed feelings about it. On one hand, he can use these abilities out in the cruel world. On the other, this power seems to come from the fell itself, taking without asking, and the demand can be great. Now, he's come to Wellspring Tavern seeking to enter the Darkmere – the source of the demons he's spent his adult life hunting, the birth of his curse, and the cause of what started his journey to begin with. It's here that he's heard an ancient artifact can be found amidst the Lich's domain. One that can either lift his curse, or propel it to heights above its own limited faculties of taking more than it gives.[/color][/indent][/indent] [/hider][/indent][/indent] [indent][indent][hider=BATTLE ➤] [indent][indent][color=BAB8B8][b]【 [color=F0AB4A]Rogue[/color] 】[/b] [color=F0AB4A][b]»[/b][/color] Uses twin daggers as primary weapons. Carries multiple, and doesn't mind throwing them around. [color=F0AB4A][b]»[/b][/color] Flexible and agile, relying on evasion rather than armored defense. If hit, the damage can be deadly. [color=F0AB4A][b]»[/b][/color] Much quicker thanks to using light armor. However, if something's faster than him, he's sunk. [color=F0AB4A][b]»[/b][/color] Utilizes swift, precise strikes in critical spots rather than brute force. He cannot simply overpower most enemies. [color=F0AB4A][b]»[/b][/color] Decent at lock-picking and trap disarmament, though it takes time. It can also backfire, and has. [color=F0AB4A][b]»[/b][/color] Very keen on immediate surroundings, with high perception. This also leaves little room to rest, always on-edge. [color=F0AB4A][b]»[/b][/color] Travels light, but prone to carrying lockpicks, small assorted bombs, and toxins. [b]【 [color=F0AB4A]Shadow Assassin[/color] 】[/b] [color=F0AB4A][b]»[/b][/color] Thanks to his curse, he's best suited for the shadows. However, it's a double-edged sword. [color=F0AB4A][b]»[/b][/color] Positioning and stealth have served him well, able to cloak himself in darkness and blend into the void. [color=F0AB4A][b]»[/b][/color] Able to use shadow step to phase in and out on the physical plane for very small intervals. [color=F0AB4A][b]»[/b][/color] Can use thrown daggers to disburse and reappear. [color=F0AB4A][b]»[/b][/color] If coating his blade in shadow, it can siphon energy from its target. [color=F0AB4A][b]»[/b][/color] The drawback is, for relying so much on stealth, the fell can always sense him. They're always watching. [color=F0AB4A][b]»[/b][/color] They see where he goes when he shadow-steps. Siphoning the fell is negated energy, and has no effect. [color=F0AB4A][b]»[/b][/color] Using these shadow abilities at all drains his own life force, corrupts his body, and infests his mind. [color=F0AB4A][b]»[/b][/color] The power wants to be used. It has a certain authority. It feels good using it in the moment. [/color][/indent][/indent] [/hider][/indent][/indent] [center][hider=NOTES] [indent][indent][color=BAB8B8]Very generalized concept here. Changed up from the original a bit. Basically, an edgelord with a lot of room to grow. Up for better hashing out how "shadow assassin" abilities work per the world, if it's an acceptable concept at all. Also have ideas in mind for backstory in relation to demons, the fell, and the curse.[/color][/indent][/indent] [/hider][/center]
