[Harlow Chase]

Harlow Chase Appearance Race: Human Gender: Male Age: 21 Birthday: Season of Fall, Day 16, 493 Birthplace: Syliras Height: 5' 6" Weight: 143 lbs. Of average build and sub-average height, Harlow has green eyes and straw-colored hair. He has no noticeable blemishes or scars. Character Concept The slightest bit greedy and ambitious, Harlow wants to make something more of himself than just another laborer to live and die in the city. However, as his talents aren't exactly in high demand amongst the usual sources of cash, he's a bit uncertain as to how he's going to do that. He's highly determined, though, and his patience is beginning to run thin. At this point, he would try just about anything not entirely illegal in order to find some sort of calling. Character History The child of two store clerks who had gotten to know each other well enough over a few years to get married, Harlow had never really cared for the idea of doing monotonous work for years on end, even if he was willing to do it for lack of an alternative. So, he was all set to be trained in what was going to become the family business when his parents realized that there was a bit of a problem. Whenever they would try to put him behind a desk with some task to do, they would find another clerk doing the work for him, claiming that "Harlow made a good point about things". Obviously rather suspicious of such events, their fears were realized when Harlow suddenly collapsed while apparently forking his job onto a coworker. Excessive and clumsy usage of Hypnotism had resulted in overgiving - thankfully not one of the worse effects. Unsure of what to do with Harlow, they gave him a harsh scolding and chose to keep Harlow under closer watch, not willing to try giving him to a trained practitioner. This made him merely use his abilities in increasingly subtle ways, forcing him to become more familiar with the personal magic in order to continue its use. After a few years, his parents decided that he needed to develop a personal sense of responsibility and, shelling out some money to do so, helped Harlow get his own apartment and essentially kicked him out of the house. Until today, he has managed to scrape by with unskilled labor, convincing his employers that hiring him was a good idea with his "unique skill set".
