The White Masquerade
04-30-08, 07:36 PM
General:
Name: The White Masquerade (Obviously an alias, but he does not actually have a name. Was never named by his parents, and never gave himself a real name.)
Age: 25 years young.
Race: Human.
Hair Color: A shiny kind of black, mostly because of the extensive amounts of gel that he puts in it.
Eye Color: A very light and bright shade of blue, much like a summer sky. Deep and a bit gorgeous, the only thing about him that makes the ladies swoon. Since, of course, he is wearing a mask. Really the only thing the ladies can see.
Height: 6'2. Taller then you, no doubt.
Weight: 175. Slim build, but because of some muscle, and all of the height, he is bound to weigh a bit.
Occupation: Street performer, at the moment. Does various card tricks and magic tricks with his spells and abilities, but sometimes falls back on thieving when he feels it is needed. Or, when he is bored.
Personality:
He is rather scheming, to say the least. He treats life as a game that has to be overcome, and usually plays it like something that he always must come out on top of. He never actually lets people in on that little attitude of his though, so it usually goes quite hidden.
On the outside, he is calm, collected, somewhat apathetic, and polite. He is quite the gentleman, although gives off a somewhat creepy aura. . It is kind of odd really, as most people wonder why in the world they get a bad feeling from him, after having him treat them like a king, or queen. This politeness is a mere front though, although it hardly ever is seen as such. His true self is quite sadistic and odd, and this only shines through in very rare moments.
He really has no interests to speak of, as he has not been exposed to the outside world much. He treats the world with wonder at times, and sometimes what appears to be a childlike innocence will shine though, as he discovers the world around him. These moments rarely last for long though, for his creepy aura always overwhelms it, perhaps speaking of a dementia hidden deep within.
He is a very intelligent person, and this shines through quite alot, as he is not afraid to come up with wild schemes, or speak in quite advanced terms. Sometimes he does this just to make the people around him feel inferior, and allow himself to feel superior. Since he is always trying to come out on top, he is paranoid sometimes of the people around him. He has no true goals as of yet besides to survive, which has always been a goal for him, so he is a generally non-trusting person. He has no friends, has no interest to make friends, and if he ever feels anyone growing too close to him, he generally tends to shrink away.
Appearance:
The Masked Man can always be found walking around with a White Mask over his face, with mere eyeholes, no other openings on the face of the object. It is quite a clear mask, never dirty or anything. There is a smile painted on the mask in the form of red lips, an odd, kind of creepy clown smile. The mask only covers the front of the face, so black strands of hair can be seen, a few bangs falling over the top front of the mask. It is usually slicked back by water, or whatever other means.
His body is slim, yet banded with tight, thin muscle. He usually wears quite a nice outfit, usually a pure black suit with red lining on the inside, and a white tie. Every now and then he wears a black and red tophat, but only when he is feeling particularly dressy. While the suit may be casual to him, a hat is going into the realm of formal wear. His pants are black dress pants, every single ounce of his clothing perfectly clean.
His skin is a pure white, as if he has never got any sun. His fingernails are clean and trimmed, nothing surprising there. In all ways, he looks very much like a normal gentleman. Except for the whole mask thing.
History:
The White Masquerade was born to a mother and a father, no other family to speak of. There are probably some grandparents and such out there, but he has never really tried to find them, or anything. He was born in a slummy area of a city in Corone, his family as poor as they good be for as long as they could remember. It was a pretty simple story from here on out, as the White Masquerade was fairly neglected, his father not being very attentive, for lack of heart. His mother was simply suffering from depression at the whole situation, so it fell upon the Masked Man to do his job. His job at that moment was to make money for his family, and keep both of his parents alive. His mother, the depressed, and his father, the drunk. A fairly emo story, but one that is pretty much how alot of kids in the slums live with.
The job he decided to get was the one he has to this day, a street performer. The one present he got from his parents was that of a deck of cards, and he learned several tricks with it. He would go out on the streets and perform, sometimes get some money, sometimes get mugged, whatever the general populace was feeling at the moment. He lived this fairly mundane life for some time, until he was mugged at age ten, and decided to fight back. The poor Masquerade, he accidently killed the guy. Pushed him under a horse. Unlucky for him, that was a fairly rich son, of a fairly rich man.
The White Masquerade was carted off to jail.
He stayed there for two months before something happened, and he was transfered. Transfered to a different facility, a facility that existed neither here nor there, and effectively took the White Masquerade off of the world. He effieciently vanished from all public notice from there on out, not paying taxes, or anything of the such that would allow anyone to keep a record of him.
All history in that area is unknown.
He stayed that way for 12 years, and then randomly one day came back to Corone. He visited his parents, bid them farewell, and set off to live a better life then whatever the one was that he had been living. With that bit in mind, somehow, he is back in the business of being a street performer, although a bit different in personality then last time. He has also became something of a thief. Boring, no? Yeah, that will change.
Spells:
Sticky String: The Masked Man alters his magical aura's consistency into an incredibly sticky substance, somewhat akin to bubble gum, albeit much stronger. He can attach this aura spell to a person by contact. This has various uses once the opponent is grabbed by it, for it can be used pull back opponents within punching range, bring items back to the Masked Man, and various other things. Sticky String can both stretch and contract, depending on what the Man desires. When not attached to Masked Man's body, Sticky String will not stretch more than 10 meters. It can be disconnected from his body though, leaving a piece attached to whatever he desires. The Masked Man's Sticky String cannot be seen, nor felt, perhaps a part of the fact that his personality is so tricky, so therefor his aura is as well.
Skills:
Acrobatic- The Masked Man is incredibly acrobatic, as if he has had some kind of training, or it simply comes naturally to him. He has various flips, spins, and crazy little moves he can do when he really wants to. His sense of balance is obviously a bit high because of this, as well as his jumping skills. This helps him perform flips, spins, rolls, cartwheels, and various other acrobatic moves.
Deft Hands: The Masked Man has quite the pair of hands. He can pull off sleight of hand tricks easily, can use both equally as well, has no problem spinning small daggers or precise aim throwing small objects, such as dice, cards, and the like. His hands are capable of moving in a blur, gracefully and profoundly. This helps him in pickpocketing, throwing small objects, and the various card tricks he does, among other general skills that require precise hand and finger control.
Lightning Reflexes: His reflexive actions are a bit faster then his normal, intended actions, which is a bit strange. He has excellent reflexes, perhaps due to his slim but muscled body, or from all the time he spent getting jumped in the streets. This helps his body react lightning fast to surprise attacks better then normal people, as well as attacks he doesn't see coming until the last moment, or many other surprises that activate reflexes.
Equipment:
The White Mask: This mask is described in his general description, but there is a bit more detail to it. It is made out of iron, although it is a very thin layer, so not incredibly heavy. As well as being a pure white mask with only eyeholes, this mask is also completely melded into his facial skin by use of melting the inside layer of metal, then placing it on his face, and allowing it to dry. Therefor, it is quite hard to remove.
The Deck of Cards: This is a complete deck of playing cards, including Jokers. They are all made out of steel, also paper-thin, yet razor sharp. They are a bit weighty, enough to give them a balance for actual throwing, but thin enough to be not heavy at all. The Masked Man is pretty much one of the only people around able to handle this deck, as any careless person would rip themselves to shreds. It has a single enchantment on it that he paid good money for, that enchantment being that at the end of the day, the cards will all find themselves back to the leather pouch they are held in, by magical purposes.
The Bag of Tricks: This holds various performing tools, such as small balls, dice, normal playing cards, and other items that can be used in tricks, and simple games.
