Xarl


Appearance

Race: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Birthday: Winter, 17, 494 AV
Birthplace: Syliras

Appearance: Xarl would be best described as tall and scrawny, standing at about 6'1" and weighing about 125 lbs. He is quite bitter about this fact and will generally feel insulted when someone comments on it. He has grey eyes, long and well kept black hair, and fair skin. He will often allow a slight stubble to darken his jawline.

Character Concept

Ambitious, manipulative, and calculating. Xarl can be quite charming when he desires, polite and well mannered. Be warned that this is all a facade, a very carefully crafted mask formed over many years of practice. He'll pretend to be your best friend, get close to you, and lend a sympathetic ear to your problems. Once you've outlived your usefulness to him however he won't think twice about stabbing you in the back. Xarl is willing to sacrifice anyone and anything to achieve his goals, whatever they may be at the time. It should be noted that he possesses a soft spot for beautiful women and will usually shy away from physically striking a woman, calling it "crass".

Ethics: Whichever are convient for him at the time. Will not strike a woman unless his life is mortally threatened.

Likes: Power, Intelligent Conversation, Beautiful women.

Dislikes: Weakness, Idealism, The gods in general.

Character History

Xarl was born the only child of a wealthy Syliras trader. From an early age his father cultivated young Xarl's already apparent intelligence and showed him the tricks of getting a good deal from someone and having them leave leave thinking they got the better end. The first few years of his life were relatively happy and normal, until both his father and mother were ruined and killed by a rival trader.

Alone and penniless on the streets of Syliras, Xarl turned to begging first and soon after to manipulation, using the skills of trading to cheat and con his way to his next meal. This worked out rather well for him for a time, and although he went hungry on somedays Xarl always managed to find some poor sucker to trick before things got too bad.

At the age of eight was when he finally met his match and was beaten at his own game by a powerful hypnotist, by the name of Helena. This particular hypnotist was rather impressed by Xarl's knowledge, not only of manipulation but of people in general, key traits of any hypnotist. Helena decided that it would be wasteful of such potential merely to be cheating and conning off of the streets, and opted to take young Xarl under her wing.

Once again Xarl's world changed and under the strict guidence of his mistress the doors of magic opened for him. Over the remainder of his childhood Xarl proved to be an extremely fast learner, easily mastering the basics of hypnotism and gaining a thirst not only for knowledge but for power as well. Never again did he wish to merely exist on the scraps other gave him, no he wanted everything and would do anything to gain it.
