Venex Apara

Name: Venex Geneva Apara

Nickname/Alias: Ven

Age: 24

Race: Half-elf

Height: 5'7"

Weight: 158 lbs

Occupation: Freelancer.

Personality: Two things that should be known about Ven. One, he has a sharp tongue. Two, he's extremely easy going. Ven is a carefree spirit, going wherever the wind takes him, and more often than not it's the path that amuses him. When he's bored, he is not one to sit around, instead electing to find of entertainment. Whether this be conversation, pranks, drinking, or adventure, you can be sure he's doing something. He also has a weird perspective on alignment. To him, there really is no good or evil, just a spectrum of colour. Thus, his morality is skewed. If he were to be described, he would probably be a cross between Chaotic Good and Chaotic Neutral.

History: Venex was born and raised in Alerar, born to a Elven father and a human mother. Ven was the oldest sibling of 5, with his siblings being: Alya, Robin, Derrian, and Rose. His family was not rich, and often times they had to work especially hard just to make ends meet. Despite this, his family choose to see the best in things, and always cherished what they had. This helped make Ven who he was today.

Eventually, it was time for Ven to leave home. Ven decided to move from place to place, taking whatever job would accept him, again enough coin to get him to the next place, then move on. He had no direction, only going where his whims took him. And those whims took him to many different walks of life. He had worked as a barkeep in the city, worked as a farm hand in the countryside, served on a fishing boat for several months, and even helped criminals steal.

He is now on the road again, looking for the next thing life leads him too...


Appearance: Ven has very thin eyebrows and no facial hair, choosing to be clean shaven. His eyes always seem to have a glint of mischief and excitement. Ven's choice of clothing is a cobalt blue tailcoat, beige pants, and black traveling boots. He carries a silver pocket watch, an antique passed down through his family for over 200 years and is probably the most expensive thing he owns. He will never part with this, and has gotten into several scrapes with others who have tried to take it. Word of the wise, don't touch it without his permission. His rapier, sheathed, has a long leather cord which he has wrapped over right shoulder, and it hangs so he has ease of access to it. On his back is his pack, which carries his journal, some rations, and some other odds and ends.

Abilities:

Magical Omniglot: Ven was blessed with the ability to speak to and comprehend any language he comes across. He cannot read any language, however, and is limited to Trade Speak, Elven, and some Draconian. If a creature is sentient but cannot speak, then only simple ideas can be expressed.

Eidetic memory: Ven has an ability to vividly recall images from memory after only a few instances of exposure, with high precision for a brief time after exposure. This has helped him learn skills fast.

Hi there, welcome to Althanas! I'd like to get started by asking for a little more information on certain elements of Ven's inventory. What tier is his rapier? Right now it can be made of iron or steel, please edit that in. Also I'd appreciate it if you could be more descriptive about the cherry bombs/fireworks (how many, and how potent, exactly what they can do). And lastly (for now), please express that Ven would not sell his pocket watch under any circumstances.

Hello Breaker, thank you for the welcome. I have edited the CS, making the inventory more detailed. I have also expressed the protectiveness of Ven in regards to the pocket watch.

Thank you for making those changes.

Minor blink is considered a fairly powerful ability, but if you drop it to a single use per day I think I can approve it.

Ordinarily I wouldn't approve a level 1 with any kind of gunpowder, but I'm willing to make an exception if you'll meet me half way. If you'd like to keep the fireworks and cherry bombs, you'll have to give up your starting 200 GP. If you'd prefer to keep the GP, then you can see about purchasing fireworks at the bazaar or earning them through a quest. Let me know how you'd like to proceed regarding this.

Actually, could I trade my abilities in and go skill heavy? I'm imagining an arcane trickster type build as I level up. I'll also choose to keep the gp and acquire the fireworks at a later point.

Edit: Will edit history to accomodate.

Edit 2: I was informed by chat that i can do the skills. I'll re-think abilites. They will most likely only be small buffs.

That looks fine, but could you please edit this version into the first post? That way it's nice and clear.

Done. So approved then?

Approved.
