Distinctive Features: An alterationist, he will often change his appearance before a meeting with a client so he won't be recognized.
Physical Notes: He has cast a permanent polymorph self spell on himself that makes him look like a tall, attractive middle aged skyball player. Though, because he never bothers to exercise he doesn't have toned physique that goes with it. He can change his height and body style but has never bother to put out the effort to keep himself rippling with ill-earned muscles. He's given himself a square face with a strong jaw and usually keeps his hair short, though he varies the length and color according to his mood. He usually looks to be in his mid-30s, he hasn't bothered to change his permanent polymorph spell in almost 20 years because he doesn't feel like putting out the effort.
Behavior Notes: He is a rather unmotivated blood mage, having spent most of his ambitious drive to actually make it through alternationist school. He tries to talk like he actually remembers his school vocabulary and as such has a tenancy to slightly misuse 'educated' words and phrases. Having no real moral code he's not above cheating customers he won't be getting anymore business from and isn't above selling sub par or faulty alteration amulets or doppel charms since he sees no real need to make new or better ones.
Supernatural Abilities: Alterationist (Adept Exemptus)
History:
Raised in a poor first level family, he was discovered to have alteration powers at the age of 13 when he temporarily turned his mother into a giant frog in a fit of anger. Eager to be away from his bickering parents and the looming prospect of a dead end life, he joined the Kiersted Alteration School (KAS). Though he showed great promise, alteration usually being beyond most bloods, he was a great disappointment to his teachers. He barely managed to put out enough effort to graduate. When he did so he promptly returned to the first level and began selling cheap charms and one-night alteration spells to bored blue-collar mundies. He never has a single thought of using his gift for anything beyond his own personal profit.
When he started to gain a reputation as a charlatan he took his meager savings and began traveling. He stayed on the road for many years, sometimes simply selling his spells to those who wanted them and sometimes selling 'miracle' cures to people that only lated until he could got out of town. After running afoul of the Imperial Bureau of Magic Regulation and nearly getting kicked out of his guild he settled down and tried a different path. Changing his appearance to escape his old reputation he began to look for work among the various warring factions within Metamor City – groups so far on the wrong side of the law that they couldn't afford to turn him in to the BMR.
While he was in Yamata on one of his 'business' trips he found a rather interesting article in the Magical Informant, a local paper that claimed to report news of the 'even weirder'. One of the headlines read “HUMAN WOMAN GIVES BIRTH TO KITTEN” and in the article the mother claimed that the child was conceived in a dream. Realizing the child was probably half-Fae he called her up and offered to buy the child. After being properly horrified at the idea of selling her bizarre offspring, the mother settled on a high price, figuring the man would try to use the kitten in some kind of freak show. Taking the fae-child back to his workshop in Metamor City he used his magic to permanently change her into a more human shape, though he didn't put forth the effort to completely change her and lingering signs of her heritage remain. He had one of his friends in the fringe work up an ID on her in the name of “Eriko Plackard” and the girl (somewhat) legally became his ward. When the girl began displaying signs of illusionist powers, he had her fitted with a restraining band since he had neither the time nor the inclination to let the girl properly develop her powers. Since he has an assistant to do all his leg work for him he rarely leaves his apartment in Serenity Arms.
