[Perfect] - [Excellent] - [Good] - [Above Average] - [Average] - [Below Average] - [Poor] - [Very Poor]

Clothing/Armor
Below Average- Caha wears little more armor than a leather padding because he favors movement and agility over armor. Armor also impedes his ability to perform. If it were absolutely necessary, all he'd wear in terms of armor would be chainmail or boiled leather.

Combat Prowess

[Excellent]- A lone performer is often the target of thieves and bandits. As a result, Caha is a very experienced fighter. He is able to use most weaponry just by looking at it's dimensions and judging it's weight, and he has much experience- as he has fought against many experienced and inexperienced, experts and novices, and all races of all kinds. You'd be surprised how many people resort to assaulting lowly performers when in tough times.

His form of fighting relies on speed and a distinct knowledge of body mechanics. For example, a smaller man could take advantage of a bigger man's height by raining blows on the groin area while the bigger man is trying to come on top of the smaller man. There is a lot of incapacitating blows involved, such as a chop to the side of the head- just under the ear.

Spells
Chaotic Fuzz- A small glamour is cast to blur the enemy's senses, allowing the Harlequinn to confuse and find weaknesses in his opposition

Disorder- A small spell that draws on the principle of Entropy. Everything withing the Fool's vicinity will instantly become "disordered". For examples, poisons will instantly break apart and become harmless compounds, swords will begin to rust very quickly, the dead will rot faster, and buildings will begin collapsing (VERY) slowly as if the elements had been pounding on it constantly. This will also affect the Fool's equipment as well, so he doesn't enjoy using this spell.

A Second Chance- A powerful rounded barrier erupts from the Jester's outstretched hand. A very basic form of self-defense, it can deflect almost anything and can be expanded to cover the Fools entire body. The spell itself is bounded into a ring that will automatically activate when a deadly projectile or edge comes within a meter of the Fool at high speeds.

Shadow Dancing- Not as powerful as those who have mastered shadow- walking. Learned from a retired thief, Cirrus adopted his own style as Shadow walking in it's entirety takes years to learn. It involved a more irregular movement, hence the term "dancing" and allows Cirrus to become mostly invisible in the shadows- blending with the backround rather than fading completely. This technique works best when the user is in constant motion, as apposed to standing stock still.

Will be updated- Cirrus is an avid learner of the magical arts.

Skills

Stealth [Excellent] The Fool's ability to disguise himself as well as remain discreet is borderline perfect. He can easily sneak in and out of guarded areas using his dexterity, and hide himself when necessary. Just because he is loud when performing, doesn't mean the harlequin cannot disappear when the situation calls for it.

Resilience [Above Average] He lacks empathy, which leaves him very indifferent toward much mental torture. With the discipline instilled in him from training to be a performer, he is very resistant to physical torture. He is able to utilize the concept mind-over-matter, which can possibly mean running full sprint for just under a mile before passing out or dropping dead if necessary.

Abilities

Agility [Perfect] Caha has astounding agility, able to maneuver his body over obstacles very quickly and contort his features to fit any situation. It is a result of all his performances, and a reliance on this agility when fighting others

Dexterity [Perfect] While not the smartest when it came to numbers or books, Caha has amazing analytical abilities. He can manipulate many complex items simply by looking at it, weild weapons very easily, and has an innate control over his body that allows him to be very sure of his movements despite the situation. He adapts extremely well to any environment, fighting or the world- and uses many things to his advantage most people would never dream of.

Manipulation [Perfect] The Fool has an extensive knowledge on how to make people tick. Years of working a crowd as a performer and convincing individuals for any request has allowed him to easily talk to others and coerce them to do as he wills. Perhaps it could be called Charisma, but knowing him closely dirties the term extensively. Not only can he manipulate others, he can manipulate his physical appearance. While he can do nothing about his body structure, he can wear baggy clothing and platform shoes to look taller, crouch slightly to look shorter, and dull/enhance certain features on his face and limbs to look like a different person. One might say he is great at disguising himself, but this ability has not been very useful as of late, because he hardly needs to disguise himself.

Cold Reading [Perfect] The Fool is a master at seeing through facades. With just one movement or word the deranged harlequin would be able to predict where a person moved (which is extremely useful when fighting those much bigger and stronger than him) and be able to immediately detect lies at a moderate level.

Performing Arts [Perfect] There is little to improve on. His dexterity allows any object to be one that can entertain others. Athletic feats mean little to him. His sense of balance and agility are impeccable when performing high-end balancing or acrobatic acts.

Speed [Excellent] Speed usually isn't considered a skill, but with a performer speed is the essence of the show. A boring, monotonous routine will not impress an audience, nor is taking five minutes to light something on fire to juggle worth any sort of payment. With his new side-career as a mercenary, it doesn't pay to be late to a battle one is being paid to fight, either. Combined with his training, Cahan can move very quickly, and his hands are very adept at moving very fast. He can sprint faster than a majority of the inhabitants on the planet (albeit for very short periods of time) and with such quick movement comes quick thinking- Cahan can think on his feet, which is where all his resourcefulness stems from.


Weapons
The Fighting Dagger The slender, foot-long dagger is Cahan's main tool of killing. With a double-edge, and a slim blade, it's made to slip easily between the ribs and kill. The triangular-like blade is made to enlarge any wound after punching though a small point for maximum damage. It is hidden somewhere among Cahan's body at all times.

The Rapier A weapon meant for more general use, Cahan uses this blade very effectively. By utilizing sharp, stabbing motions the Rapier can poke several holes in the opponent before they can get their own strike in. Unlike most swords, Rapiers are extremely effective against leather or chainmail armor due to the punching nature of the blade. Cahan uses a general rapier, with a cup hilt to protect his hand and usually carries it with him when traveling. When performing, he hides it in a easily accessible location. It comes with a leatherbound sheath, but the tip of the sheath is sharpened and can be used as a surprise weapon.

The Specialized Slingshot Unlike the popular design (a Y-shaped piece of wood with elastic strings and a pouch to hurl objects), It is specially designed for long range attack. Despite lacking the power to effectively kill, it is an extremely compact and light weapon compared to the Bow or Crossbow. Cahan's own personal slingshot consists of a foldable round plate of metal that is braced against the forearm, a handle to steady aim with, and two arms fitted with powerful elastic fibers to launch objects very far and very fast.It was so effective, before the bow it was used to reliably hunt game. Plus, ammo was everywhere in the form of large stones in case one ran out.

Equipment
The fool utilizes many survival tools in order to keep traveling. This means he uses much of what's available, but will carry a satchel containing necessities in regards to his equipment. He owns a large cloak with a hood to protect himself from the cold. He owns a whetstone for keeping metal objects sharp, a flintstone for warmth when there is wood, and a skin that holds water. He keeps a first-aid kit that is mandatory for all performers. There is no exception, as lone artists have nobody to turn to but themselves when injured in a act. He keeps a small kit holding face paint, as well.

Accessories
A light, fools hat. It is made of a special fiber so it allows his head to breathe, and it fits around the head easily.

Bio/History
His great-great-great grandmother was a Helbourne. However, her descendants have had a taste for humans instead, and eventually became more and more human like as the Helbourne features disappeared from the gene pool. When Cahan came to be born, he was born to a very humanoid-looking tiefling mother and human father. As he grew up, he realized he had this air of unsettledness around him. People tended to avoid him. The odd ones made friends with him. He knew he was different, but he had no idea his mother was a Helborne until his father told him a story about it. He wasn't too sure what that meant, but he looked in the mirror and saw nothing but a normal, if rather pale child.

He grew up around an old man that loved to perform magic tricks. Not the cheap stuff real mages performed, but the parlor tricks and slight-of-hand illusions that real mages couldn't do. Cahan respected him greatly, and eventually took on a little assistant role. He "graduated" from apprenticeship when the old man moved away- he said his time had come.

He met another person- a woman acrobat. A traveling performer that twisted her ankle, her caravan abandoned her and Cahan's family took her in. In exchange, Cahan was taught to be flexible, agile, and quick. Under her tutelage, his mind became snappish and reactive. His dexterity increased dramatically. Eventually he was performing backflips, somersaults, and acrobatic feats with the acrobat herself. She too, would leave after several years because a new caravan picked her up. She continues to send money to Cahan until he left home as thanks for taking her in.

When his parents died of pneumonia at the age of 19, Cahan left his small home in his small village in a insignificant part of Cam Lire. He became a wandering Acrobat, making money through entertainment. Using the skills of both the old man and the female acrobat, he melded them into his own form. His modest demeanor often put out the crowd, and he never made much profit initially. It wasn't until he began his facade of the "Ever-Smiling Fool" that he began making money. The idea of a young happy-go-lucky fool that entertained for a living struck the audience. Eventually the young man Cahan melted away, replaced by Cirrus Scarlueit. It was at the age of 22 when he began attracting attention. He had become a veteran performer, and men began robbing him of his profits. He didn't stand for this, and eventually began defending himself. Using his natural agility, he often surprised foes. But he lacked skill. Eventually, he mastered the art of street-fighting, and added his own twist that complemented his agile, quick moving style. He bought a fighting dagger and a Rapier, and became skilled in the use of those as well. His final purchase in weaponry was the compact slingshot- the metal rock-thrower that was used to hunt game. Being fold-able and very accurate, it proved to be an invaluable tool.

It was only at the age of 30 that he began offering his services, not only as a Actor, but a Mercenary and Assassin- as nice as that sounded.
