Name: Baron "Aces" Reinhart
Age: 19
Race: Human
Hair Color: Light Green
Eye Color: Dull Grey
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 180 lbs
Personality: Baron is the prankster of the group, one to always look for a laugh, even in the most serious of situations. He enjoys life to it's fullest and is mostly optimistic.
Appearance: Baron is tall, skinny, and has a fair bit of muscle on him. He dons his trademark pair of goggle upon his forehead to hold his medium long green hair out of his eyes. He usually wears a grey button up shirt with the collar and second button undone, usually with a blue or vibrant red loose tie on as well. He wears baggy black pants, and clunky black travelling boots on his feet. His left arm has a small scar midway up the bottom of his forearm, as well as a red bracelet he recieved from his father. On his hands, white gloves.
History: Baron Reinhart was your average kid. He lived in a white, middle class house in a white, middle class neighborhood, and lived the life of a white, middle class child would. His parents were there for him if necessary, but only when necessary. His childhood was very uneventful, and was the same as any other around him. Sort of.
Baron had always, since he was very little, had an uncanny attraction to cards. Any type, he wanted them. He would play with them for hours, learning all the tricks and trades involved with cards. Pick a card? He could tell you what you picked. He could make you think that ace of spades was really spinning in his hands, or that there really is a king of hearts on the other side of that four of clubs. This earned him the nickname "Aces". He used his abilities to make small cash at school and in the streets, when he could. As he grew older, his tricks grew a little wilder, and he stretched that little extra bit to get a laugh for himself. It was around this time that Baron's father, who he was very close to, bought him his goggles, which almost never left his face. Baron was able to work these into his act, and found that these special goggles enabled him to turn near invisible when he wore them over his eyes.
One day, as he wandered the streets, he shuffled a deck in halfs, firing cards this way and that until they all stacked up in his hands as a full deck. He found an old man waiting at a bus stop. "Hey there, wanna see a trick?" Baron asked, a grin crossing his face. "I've seen a lot of tricks in my day, boy." the man muttered, an undertone of wiseness in his statement. "Yeah, but none of mine. Here, pick a card." Baron insisted, holding the deck out. The old man pulled a card out, and Baron split the deck where he picked it. "Now, place a fifty dollar bill where you got your card from." The old man obeyed. "Alright. Now...is this your card?" Baron asked and fired the cards towards the old man, running away with his money. As he laughed, he noticed the cards were still falling around him, except more, and more, like rain. "Your tricks will not help you where you're going, Baron Reinhart." he heard the old man say, and one card floated down into his hands, the Joker. Soon, everything went black, and when Baron woke up, he was not at home. "Welcome to Althanas, Baron." the old man wheezed, turning and walking away.
Skills:
* Knife Wielding: (Moderate) Having lived in the streets, Baron learned a thing or two from local kids and gangs, and has become more than adequate with Envy if need be.
* Spectrum: When Baron decides to wear his goggles over his eyes, he becomes transluscent. (his clothes as well) This only lasts for about 10 seconds before he begins to feel dizzy and is forced to push them back up to his forehead for at least a few hours.
* Crafty Hands: (Moderate) Baron is very, very good with his hands (ie. making things seem as though they disappeared / reappeared) and with cards. He can also use cards as fairly accurate projectiles, if need be, but he has been known to miss.
Equipment:
Goggles - Baron's goggles. Gift from his father.
Irony - Broken pistol. Baron has no idea what's wrong with it, but he found it in his father's closet when he was little and thought it looked cool, so he's carried it since. Reminder of his parents.
Envy - A small switchblade (3" blade) with a naked woman etched into the handle.
Cards - Baron keeps 5 full decks of cards on him at all times.
