Personality:
Some people are born heroes, some achieve heroism and some have it thrust upon them. Of the three groups, Constantine falls firmly into the first category, at least to hear him tell it. As far as he is concerned, his heroic nature is beyond question, doubt or reproach and thais belief has been with him since he was nothing but a scrawny young boy on a damp, backwater island. And while this causes him to act as the heroes of Anglian tales do, it also engenders a certain... self assuredness. When you're the hero, how can you fail to be in the right?

Critics might describe Constantine as reckless, pompous, concerned only with style and without any sense of the word restraint. And, in a sense, they'd be right. Constantine acts without thinking, naturally assumes himself to be both smartest and the most morally righteous in any given room, has spent innumerable hours considering his own reflection and wouldn't know subtle if it slapped him in the face. But when he acts rashly, it's always mostly for good reasons and with good intentions. When he leaps from a galloping horse onto the back of a moving coach, it's generally to stop it from charging off a cliff.

In short, he's thinks and acts like a larger than life hero, which is a good thing when the villains are larger than life too.

Habits:
Stroking his moustache, waving his hands like a conductor during conversation.

Hobbies:
Fashion, tailoring, dancing.

Fears:
Old age and irrelevance.

Likes:
Looking good while doing good, making his own hats, fine wines, short tempers, duelling, dancing and heroism.

Dislikes:
Others looking good while doing bad, having a good outfit ruined, boredom, reading, the stoic and the slow.


Skills


Blade-Dancing (Master):
Not quite duelling, not quite dancing, Constantine's style falls somewhere between and elaborate ballroom number and a savage assault. It's not just victory that's important, it's looking good and moving well. Every opportunity to add spin, flourish and panache is embraced wholeheartedly, whether it's strictly the most tactical move or not. Conversely, Constantine has received many a compliment for applying those selfsame principles to the dance floor.

Charm (Master):
Looks that can cause the feint hearted to collapse, a voice the could bewitch the birds from the trees and a gaze so smouldering that fires go out from sheer envy combine to make Constantine quite the head turner. And while he often comes off as too in love with himself to really consider the feelings of others, he views getting others to like him as a sort of challenge. And nothing motivates Constantine like a challenge. All of these factors combine to make almost uncannily charming and likeable.

Acrobatics (Expert):
What sort of hero can't swing from a chandelier onto a balcony and then flip from that balcony onto the back of a waiting horse, only to participate in a rigorous horse chase in which they are required to leap from their horse onto a carriage? The boring sort of hero, that's the sort. And while Constantine has many flaws, being boring is not one of them.

Riding (Expert):
Since he was a young man, Constantine has ridden horses for sport and pleasure. He likes them strong, spirited and full of vinegar, all the better to chase down the runaway carriage or escaping vagabond. But for one so spirited himself, simply riding has long since lost its appeal to Constantine and he now gets his kicks from trick riding; standing on the saddle, hanging from the side or leaping from one horse to another.

Fashion (Journeyman):
His main occupation being defeating villains and foiling plots, Constantine has never truly applied his undeniable natural talent to the world of fashion. Even so, he knows very well how dress in order to catch the eye and again how to dress so that everyone else wants to dress like you. Despite it, strictly speaking, being peasant work, he also takes pleasure in modifying and occasionally creating his outfits.


Talents & Powers

A listing of unique powers, magic, artifacts, and techniques. A maximum of four only.

Lucky Devil:
Fortune's favourite son, you might call the Lord of Ravenscroft, if you were taken to such fancies. It's true that he's had ten times the luck he deserves, from his good start in life to his continued incredible adventures. But it's more than that, he's never jumped off a roof and not found a barrel of water or pile of hay waiting for him at the bottom; never rested at an inn that didn't have an ambitious barmaid looking for adventure or a man looking to sell an ancient treasure map waiting for him; never been put in a deathtrap by a villain who didn't then leave to attend to some other part of their plans, leaving only henchmen to finish the job. That's not to say he never loses, he lost an eye after all, but you'd be a fool to bet against him and should never assume he's down without the proof of your own eyes.
