________________________________________ Germaine Gaulding 40 | Male | Human _______________________________________________ ā BIRTHPLACE: Acies. His hometown has been thoroughly destroyed, as is common of villages in the area. ā CASTE: Theatre/entertainer ā AFFILIATIONS: Actors' guild, unaffiliated underworld contacts, the Church of Truth ā GOALS: Needs to find someone and retrieve a stolen book. _______________________________________________ TALENTS: ā Acting: Germaine is quite the actor and can practically disappear into a role. He often uses this skill in conversations, drawing people in with a performance so that they let their guard down. ā Dexterity: Having been a street magician in his youth, Germaine is well-versed in sleight of hand tricks, and is very good at tasks that require precision of the hands. ā Observation: He rarely misses social cues and, after some time, he can find weaknesses and strange patterns in someone's behaviour. EQUIPMENT: ā A black cane, with a sword hidden inside. For self defense purposes, of course. ā Medicine pouch with first aid supplies, just in case. ā Golden mask, unadorned, with an impassive expression. | Appearance āāāāāāāāāā A man only slightly taller than average, Germaine nonetheless has a unique presence. With silver hair and kind eyes, he can settle in anywhere he goes. Ever the gentleman, Germaine puts a lot of effort into his appearance. He has various sets of dress shirts, vests, and coats that he cycles between. A hat is important, of course, and he has a good many hats. He always seems to carry the same cane, though. Personality āāāāāāāāāāāāā Germaine is always polite and open, but somewhat insincere. He can talk your ear off in a conversation but is not one to initiate very often. He seems to avoid talking about himself, and when he does, he's rather dismissive of the past. It's difficult to say how much of Germaine is genuine, though if you ask him, he will insist he isn't hiding anything of great importance. Arcana āāāāāāāā Major: Judgement Germaine's Arcana manifests in the ability to produce sight-based illusions. To affect a target, he must be in their line of sight. The clearer he is in their eyes, the easier it is for him to work his magic. Once he embeds an illusion in the target's mind he can leave their sight and the illusion will continue until its natural end, though he can't create a new illusion for the target unless he is still in their sightline. He has the ability to project an illusion to everyone in sight, but doing so drains him very quickly. Minor: Golden Mask When worn, the mask allows the user to alter their own voice. They can pitch it higher or lower and increase or decrease the volume. Additionally, the mask allows them to project their voice, making it seem like it's coming from elsewhere. |

If you take Lovers, are you mentally prepared for a healthy monogamous relationship?

His eyes reflect the colors blue, violet, and purple. Upon the slivery-white locks and near his elongated ears are a set of dark horn-like-antlers that curve back. Standing around 6'2" and weighing around; 185 pounds, Arcturus is not lean in physique or extremely bulked with muscle. His athletic figure is from the diet of wild game and foraged foods (mushrooms, berries, etcetera). He has specie-based markings on his body, particularly around his face, which absorb moonlight. Unless magical abilities are present: he and his people can regulate when they light up. The longer he basks in the moonlight, the longer he can use this trait. Rumors about moon elves are that they are a sub-species of drow elves. This causes a lot of tension between moon elves and other species like humans. One can see the multiple scars inflicted on Arcturus from fear or outright speciesism. Arcturus has not been in many battles, but he has fought for and beside his people. A practice that the moon elves partake in translates to "Fallen Souls" and this practice is after conflict. There are five circular burns on the back of Arcturus's trapezius. These burns are memories of who he has caused to fall in conflict or battle. Personality āāāāāāāāāāāāā Growing up in a close-knit society with unknown tensions with the outside world perplexed a young Arcturus. He was naturally caring and helpful to everyone and everything he met. Only through experience did he see how others may be afraid of his appearance and who he was; he began to dread some people, but he never allowed that fear to turn into hatred for an entire species. When Arcturus brought home wounded creatures to care for before releasing them out into the wilds, his parents were unsurprised. He was sympathetic. Arcturus was a sensitive child, and his father encouraged him to participate in the ceremonies of their people. Although he was first traumatized by the experience, he learned to govern how and who he should be at different times. He struggled at first with the trials but developed into a confident and superior warrior. Arcturus is known to be an observer due to his experiences and who he has always been. If others will let him, he is someone who strives to understand them. He may have inherited this trait from his mother, who was patient and attentive. He began to exhibit these certain characteristics later in his youth. Arcturus usually has a peaceful temperament and is stoic, but when he is not, he is lively. He is confident in himself; he allows himself to be goofy. Making a fool out of himself to see another smile, knowing how to playfully act with an exaggerated style of sarcasm. This tends to make him excellent with children. He is someone who will listen. Arcana āāāāāāāā Major: The Lover When it comes to his arcane power, he is nothing to his other half. He has not experienced what he and his equal are capable of doing together. He is ineffective without his other half. The only abilities he can do without the other are light tricks. Displaying orbs of light or strings, he has been able to control this part of his ability for a while. Occasionally he will make balls of light that dance around to light his way through the forests or dark caverns. Minor: N/a |

Arcturus derives from the moon elves; he sports violet-toned skin with silver-white locks. His eyes reflect the colors blue, violet, and purple. Upon the slivery-white locks and near his elongated ears are a set of dark horn-like-antlers that curve back.
Standing around 6'2" and weighing around; 185 pounds, Arcturus is not lean in physique or extremely bulked with muscle. His athletic figure is from the diet of wild game and foraged foods (mushrooms, berries, etcetera).
He has specie-based markings on his body, particularly around his face, which absorb moonlight. Unless magical abilities are present: he and his people can regulate when they light up. The longer he basks in the moonlight, the longer he can use this trait.

Personality
āāāāāāāāāāāāā
Growing up in a close-knit society with unknown tensions with the outside world perplexed a young Arcturus. He was naturally caring and helpful to everyone and everything he met. Only through experience did he see how others may be afraid of his appearance and who he was; he began to dread some people, but he never allowed that fear to turn into hatred for an entire species.
When Arcturus brought home wounded creatures to care for before releasing them out into the wilds, his parents were unsurprised. He was sympathetic. Arcturus was a sensitive child, and his father encouraged him to participate in the ceremonies of their people.

Making a fool out of himself to see another smile, knowing how to playfully act with an exaggerated style of sarcasm. This tends to make him excellent with children.
He is someone who will listen.
Arcana
āāāāāāāā
Major: The LoverWhen it comes to his arcane power, he is nothing to his other half. He has not experienced what he and his equal are capable of doing together. He is ineffective without his other half. The only abilities he can do without the other are light tricks. Displaying orbs of light or strings, he has been able to control this part of his ability for a while. Occasionally he will make balls of light that dance around to light his way through the forests or dark caverns.
Minor:N/aCombat: ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢
Going through the trials of the moon elves, he learned how to double-wield shortswords and a bow. They tend to not go to war, but he has experienced small but bloody quarrels in his lifetime. Having to defend himself with force and violence. Arcturus knows how to defend himself from danger.
The moon elf techniques are known to launch swift and powerful attacks. Their trained to a precise standard of knowing what shot will kill versus a shot that will maintain someone.
Culture: ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢
His childhood was mainly secluded except for the occasion of travelers or adventuring by the local towns. He has experienced other cultures in this way and understands that everyone is different. From a young age, Arcturus experienced speciesism from others, but he understood that others might fear him for he is different or demon-like in appearance.
His own culture is focused on the moon, knowing the phases, and living within the darkness of night. He comes from a people who are night owls and do almost everything under the moonlight.
Commerce: ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢
Most might assume his actions to be foolish or him to be unintelligent, but Arcturus is not one to value money. Having little regard for currency or material goods, he knows he can supply himself with what he needs. Hunting, foraging, and overall survival skills were prominent in his clan. His parents have taught him how to live off the land and to be a survivalist.
This causes him to only sell or trade things for what he needs at the time. A trait that is a possible flaw with financials.
Magic: ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢
Moon elves have magic within them; the reason they can absorb the moonlight and use it at will to light up their way. There are different levels of magic throughout his species and clan. Most who show magical properties are sub-classed into healing or fortune telling. He showed magical properties at a young age, so he was trained in the ways of the healers. The elders guided him into herbalism and focused on what was within. The only thing he can do besides non-magic herbalism and healing is to quicken the overall healing process.
Survival: ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢
This is his most fluent status, survivalist. He was raised in a community that focuses on self-sufficiency and only using what you need. One can find anything they need from the wilds; that is the law of the land. From hunting to the gathering, he knows how to use every part of an animal or what the most poisonous mushrooms are. He knows how to make arrows, spears, a bow, or a hut from scratch
Karma: ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢ā¢
Most of the time, keeping to himself, he might not have much karma coming his way. He is someone who will listen to or comfort a stranger. He is someone who will give what he can to a person in need, but he will not fault himself to help another. Arcturus does not go out of his way to search for people in need, though he does stop if he comes across someone who needs help.
