Dante
12-17-06, 09:27 PM
Name: Dante Nix
Age: He doesn't really know, but a young man in appearance
Race: Human
Hair Color: Black with sun streaks of reddish brown
Eye Color: Dark blue
Height: 5'7"
Weight: Lean
*Occupation: Entertainer

*Personality: Dante is generally of a sunny disposition, if not friendly. He jokes, laughs, and makes friends wherever he goes. However, slavery has wounded him deeper than he knows. There are days when he sits and broods, and barely eats at all. However those days are far in between.

Appearance: The man wears his wavy hair long, around shoulder length. His dark blue eyes glint from beneath feathery brows, and his blade of a nose is slightly aquiline. His teeth are white and straight, and his face mostly unmarred. Due to his proffesion it was of importance that he remain as beautiful as he could, given what he was born with. Habit, more than anything else, keeps him working at his overall appearance even though it is no longer necesarry for his wellbeing. The only thing that scars his skin is a huge tattoo on his back. It begins at the base of his neck, and ends at his tail bone. The piece of work is a black dragon in mid flight, head beginning at the man's neck, tail ending at the base of his spine, and stretched wings passing over his shoulder blades. It was given to him against his will, for aesthetic purposes more than anything else.

History: Dante was raised in his village, which inevitably, was attacked. Sold into slavery at a young age, a rich family bought him for some entertainment. He soon figured out that pleasing people was going to keep him out of the docks so he stuck to it. Eventually he became an entertainer of all sorts. Acrobatics, singing, sword eating, story teller, mimicry, companion (although he has sworn off of this as soon as he was freed), dancer, etc. He was traded around, used, sold, but rarely beaten. The man considered it a fair enough pay off given his situation. Then one day he was being sent off to another household, and his caravan was attacked by rabid deer. The rabid deer fell upon everyone else, but Dante's acrobatics came in handy and he was barely able to stay just out of reach. All of a sudden, he was a free man.

Skills: Mr. Nix does not know the first thing about self-defense. All he ever knew were his tricks of his trade, and hopefully that will be enough for him to get by on.

Equipment:

Clothing

Dante was dressed for more morbid company, the day he was shipped out. The entertainer was wearing a black tunic, black fingerless gloves, a wine colored poet shirt, black pants, and dark boots. He could be mistaken for a gentleman were it not for magicked steel slave collar still around his neck.
Balls

These balls are multi-colored, filled with rice, and have no purpose except for juggling.
Khol

Just for some manly vanity.
Pipe

Made of wood. Used for making music.
Steel fang teeth caps

This was supposed to be used for drama in his fire eating routine, but now only has purpose if he wants to wander around pretending to be a vampire...


*Familiars:
Clay. Clay is what looks to be a ball of reddish clay. However, by rubbing pigments into it, Dante can temporarily change its color. It is for the most part, just clay. However the man knows it can be sentient when it wants to be. Convincing it is another thing entirely.
