"I was going stop stealing, honest. But then you suddenly need the cash, not to mention the excitement, one thing leads to another.. You know."
Name: Ilari Jacob Wells
Age: 34
Gender: Male
Appearance: Light brown hair, rarely shaved when he's not working. Ilari is descended from a Russian father and a British mother, but has few "stereotypical" Russian or British traits. His eyes are blue, and he stands at 6'0''. He's not too strong in build, but notably dextrous, and not unlikely to spend many hours a day in training.
Clothing: A thin black sweater and a long army-green coat that reaches his knees. Other than that, brown plain shoes and jeans. Sometimes with a bag draped over his shoulder.
Personality: Ilari is generally just what you would call a nice guy. He's sociable, helpful, and generally just normal. He might be a little nervous at times, perhaps a little jumpy around guns, but other than that most people wouldn't find too much to point out. Except a slightly dry sense of humour, perhaps. Though, it should be mentioned, that very few know Ilari very well. The aforementioned is the first impression.
Profession: Professional thief.
Moral standing: Pretty much neutral to the entire ordeal. Ilari never had a problem with stealing. He does it more for the excitement than the money, and because, quite frankly, he's good at it. He doesn't really have that much of a moral quarrel with the criminal aspect of it. He draws a line at killing, though. He'd harm a guard, knock him out, but he would definitely hesitate to kill.
Criminal record: He's been caught quite a few times - minor items stolen from stores, pocket thievery, car theft. Basically, he's just been moving upwards since he was young.
Equipment easily obtained: Ilari has the skills, not so much the intelligence as the physical capabilities of pulling through a successful heist. He would have no trouble in obtaining the drawings of the place, and tell you how to best sneak through the passages available. Unfortunately, he's not so good at the technological aspect of it, and would have a slight problem with alarms.
Equipment proficient with: A decent shot, though not exceptional. He could do well in hand-to-hand combat, and is very good at improvising weaponry.
Life story:
Ilari spent half of his life with a criminal father in Russia, and quickly fell into the "bad ways". However, at the age of 17, he was transported to England to live with his mother whom he hardly knew, after his father was put in jail for good. She did her best to reform the young boy, and actually managed to, to some extent. Ilari wants to become a law-abiding citizen, but the fact is that he's just too fond of what he does. Every time he tries to stop, a money-problem shows up, or a challenge, and he's unable to resist.
(( I'm not sure which country you wanted this roleplay to take place in, but let's just say he moved there from England after screwing up. If it takes place in England, then the screw-up took place in another part of the country. ))
Motive: As mentioned previously; he's in need of excitement, and the money.
