Age: 16

Gender: Male

Species: Mage

Class: Rogue. Sort of.

Role: Heir

Description: Connor is of medium build, with small hands and small feet. He keeps his body toned from the lack of food in his stomach and constant running and jumping he does. He is usually filthy, since they don't have the luxury of wash basins or those such things. The rope wrapped around his waste doubles as a belt and a means of escape. His brown bandana is always on his head, either for keeping his hair back while he runs or for covering his wounds. He has growing bags under his eyes, but for now they are just starting to show from the lack of sleep he is getting.

Height: 5'10'' (176 cm)

Weight: 130 lbs

Hair Color: Blonde, with a slight hint of brown

Eye Color: Hazelnut

Weapons: His simple blade. It is one of the seldom things he hasn't stolen, and is kept on him at all times. Is about 10 inches long.

Skill(s)/Ability(s): Connor is very agile and quick on his feet. His parkour skills are quite good for a kid, and staying hidden is another skill he picked up. He has skills for stealing, just like any other 'rogue' around: Lock picking, distracting, etc. He has just started to tap into his Mage skills, using them for practical reasons, such as lighting fires or healing scrapes. However, his potential is massive.

Personality: Connor is pure at heart. Period. This kid is sincere and has a heart made of gold. He never brags, never swears, and is always looking out for the benefits of others. He loves his country, is thankful for everything he owns and always tries to do the right thing. Many who meet him either see him as a clichΓ©d kid or one of those goody two shoes. It's when you start to delve into his family life that his personality takes a bit of a spike. Connor is extremely emotional, and hates violence. The problem he faces is the need to help his family, which resorts to thievery. His determined and pure nature go against such actions, but his drive to keep his family of 5 (mom, 3 younger siblings) safe and fed overwhelms his need to be good. When driven, he will become determined, focused, sacrificial, quick thinking, goal driven and the attitude of "nothing will get in my way until I am finished.' Bottom line: Connor wants to do good, but until the family is safe, he will dwell in the shadows of evil until his job is done.

Bio: Connor wasn't born into good hands. His sweet, sweet mother gave birth to her first son in an alleyway. She, her name being Maria, lived in a very small hut in that alleyway, for she did not have the money to afford an actual house. Before, Maria had been married to a man, Varren, and they lived in a simple but cozy house on the outskirts of the city. That all changed when the world began to deteriorate. When the crops began to die, so did their hopes and dreams of living in the country. Knowing they wouldn't be able to afford moving to the city, Varren came up with an idea: A Bandits guild. They began to steal from anybody they could, from small villages to larger estates, and became known as the Red Barons. Life began to get better for them, but Maria was very depressed: She was a very religious person, and hated the idea of stealing. When she brought the idea up to Varren of stopping, he would laugh in her face. He had become cold. And one day, everything spiralled out of control. A rival gang of bandits, who had been there longer, ransacked a meeting, stealing everything, including Maria. For days, she was raped and tortured in the barbarian's camp, and was then thrown out and made her way back. When she did, she found her house destroyed, her husband dead, and her life gone. She made her way into the city and struggled to survive. Until her baby was born

Enter Connor. She raised him right, teaching him the proper ways to live. But that didn't help their situation, no matter how much his mother said they would be fine. What was worse was when Maria was forced into 'prostitution', or what Connor wanted to call rape and injustice. That was how his 2 younger siblings were brought into this violent world. And he couldn't take it any longer. When he was 14, the 'regular' group of thugs came back and they knocked Connor out, like always. But this time, instead of huddling up in the corner and waiting for them to leave, he grabbed the only item he owned and killed the man on his mother. The other 2 men, shocked, didn't react fast enough as Connor killed them. It was too late though, they had given life to his youngest sister. And he wept. he wept for his mother, who was being used, he wept for the men he injustly killed - which he knew was wrong - and he wept for his new sibling that was just conceived into a terrible world.

After that incident, Connor took to stealing from richer folk. Even though he was a kind, gentle soul, he blocked out his emotions when he stole. He knew if he dwelled on his own evil, it would eat him from the inside. Instead, he would focus on his own family that needed the food. This was when he got his tattoo. When he made enough money, he got a tattoo of an angel on his back, believing that he was the one to help his family through the terrible times, and be their guide through it all. It reminds him to always look out for his mother, brother and 2 sisters, and to never let them suffer.

Other: I have read everything. Connor has gotten quite good at the little tin whistle he found a couple years ago. He plays it nightly to put his siblings to sleep.

Sample Post: Connor looked the other way as he ran. He knew if he started to think of what he had just done, he would drive himself mad until he returned the meager pieces of bread and fish. He kept running, the footsteps of his assailants - this time being the baker's and fisher's sons - stomping behind him as his own small feet ran swiftly through alleyways. He knew he could outrun them easily, but he was starting to get into unfamiliar territory, and it wouldn't bode well if he got lost. He jumped lightly onto some barrels and launched himself onto the roofs, and climbed his way to the tops. The sons stopped running and swore at him, yelling and cussing as he ran away. The loudest voice boomed "I hope you rot in hell, scumbag! Keep running, you mouse, you coward! I hope you choke!" By the time he crawled back down and returned home, he was already crying. And today was a good day.

So begins...
