I'm having the character drawn by a really nice and awesome friend because I couldn't find art that quite fit but until then here's what I have. Feel free to suggest edits or let me know what stuff doesn't work. I really like KHR a lot but I'm kind of tired at the moment so I might have gone overboard or screwed up here or there please let me know.
Username:Dblade 26
Name: Prospero Merlin
Age: 13
Gender: Male
Country of Origin: America, although he's travelled all over.
Role: Kid Magician and freelance Mafia Cleaner/Assassin, Future Vongola Mist Guardian
Flame: Mist Flame
Weapon/Fighting Style: Magic-tricks and illusions. Specifically he uses weaponized versions of magic tricks and props to fight and bolsters them with his legitimate ability to create illusions. For a few examples, using throwing knives that look like playing cards and creating shadow duplicates as he throws them, shooting illusory lightning-bolts from his cane to hide that it's actually a disguised taser, conjuring snakes from his sleeves to bind someone with when they're actually just silk handkerchiefs knotted together and mixing these with ordinary illusions to trick opponents. In the future he relies a lot more on the Construction properties of Mist flames to make 'Real Illusions' although keeping the stage magician theme
Appearance: Will put them up once they're drawn, but Prospero has blond hair and blue eyes, typically wears a red suit and cape with a magician's top hat and always wears a white mask over the top half of his face or otherwise covers it. His adult self has longer hair and wears an even more elaborate mask and suit, still red. He also usually has a cane that conceals a taser.
Personality: Prospero is almost entirely driven and interested by his dream of becoming the world's greatest magician and illusionist, to the point where he's willing to do nearly anything to improve his 'act'. His main interest in people outside of potential fans of his is as something to test his tricks and sharpen his abilities, with even the underworld of the Mafia being one more stage for him to perform on. However, having dedicated his life to his goal, he's not very experienced at dealing with others or living as a normal kid, especially not now that a life of being relatively famous or at least successful has separated him from the chance for an ordinary life. As a result he's become increasingly curious lately as to how 'Commoners' live and wants to see if there's some trick behind their lives that he hasn't figured out yet, and despite never wanting to admit it, he's lonely. If he ever does get the chance to interact in a 'normal' way with people he'll try his best to act like a non-arrogant cheerful child, but probably fail. He also never removes his mask, or else wears a substitute.
At 23 years old while Prospero's goals remain the same his views have become considerably more broad, and he has a slightly easier time acting like an 'ordinary' person. He works with the Vongola family out of a desire to perform high risk tricks that will leave even the Mafia stunned and also in order to have an excuse to eliminate rival illusionists within the various Families. He's also opened up more to having friends and is slightly less arrogant although he would never admit to the change, just insisting that 'Performances are more thrilling when there are people around to watch'.
History: Prospero's entire life has been dedicated to becoming the world's greatest magician and after he discovered his psychic abilities, the world's greatest illusionist. This was in part due to his father who was himself a fairly skilled magician, but wanted more for his son and was willing to go to any lengths to ensure his success. Prospero was entirely home-schooled and his father relentlessly drilled being a magician into his skull every day, only allowing him to interact with others for the purposes of cultivating stage personas. By the age of ten he was already performing professionally and being hailed as a prodigy of stage magic, traveling around for jobs with his father as his manager.
By the time he reached twelve he grew resentful of his father's constant harsh training and coldness despite his successes and sharing in his father's dream, so he filed for emancipation. eventually he won out and gained the right to live on his own despite his young age, his magic shows providing him with enough money to sustain him independent of a guardian. Lately though he's become increasingly bored and lonely despite his success and found the opportunities that might come from working with the Vongola too good to pass up.
Overview: Prospero Merlin is a child prodigy stage magician and illusionist. He insists he only cares about becoming the best magician and illusionist ever but he secretly wants a normal life with friends and family.
