Hmm villain... And it has been far too long since I've done the complete psycho route in an rp.
Name: Krendel
Age: 33 (In human Years 24+9/3=27)
Height: 6' 2"
Race: Elf
Skin color: Alabaster
Hair style / color: Platinum locks cascade down the back of his head. Usually concealed by a rather mysterious looking hood.
Build: tall and slender. He's deceptively quick and dextrous but not particularly strong
Background: An assassin that masquerades as a fortune teller by having the abilities of a fortune teller, or more accurately a psycopath who acts as an assassin for a (not so) socially acceptable; but, at the very least profitable outlet for his urgings.
The owner of a potent magical tool known as the Akashic Mirror, Krendel has the ability to forsee likely occurances, and through extreme effort cause slight manipulation of chance. (Though sometimes a coin flip landing the other way can be fatal.)
Krendel spends most of his time working as a travelling fortune teller. Relatively unimportant villagers come to him seeking reassurence about their future, and he gives them vague warnings of their impending deaths (And soon takes action to bring those deaths about; by knowing where people are likely to go and taking action, or by manipulating chance .) For Krendel this act borders on a religious experience. He finds life a cosmic joke with death as the punch line and takes great effort to make that punch-line as applicable as possible.
Of course, Krendel doesn't always work for his own amusement. Telling people how they're going to die tends not to earn a lot of cash, but taking care of the right people can work wonders for one's financial situation.
Ultimately Krendel has a personality well suited for his macabre showmanship. He can be cryptic or far too detailed when he speaks, but he is always melodramatic to the extreme.
Of course the business Krendel's in is rather risky, and he's not the best person in a straight fight; but, he finds his own death to be the most humorous story of all.
Outfit: A dark cloak, perfect for looking pretentiously mysterious at the back table in a bar.
Items you have: Akashic Mirror: A potent artifact that enables one to view, and with extreme effort slightly impact possible futures. Alterations can only effect things that would already be up largely to chance, not the actions of a living being. It's other weakness is that it only shows the future it is asked to show, it doesn't reveal sounds or the meanings behind actions. Nor does it reveal events that have already happened or are currently happening.
He also wields a long thin knife (for stabbing people in the back) and any number of useful tools to make sure someone 'trips' at the right spot, or stops walking at the right moment, etc.
Hmm.... Does anyone actually read these anyway?
