  Physical Appearance

  
  The ferret stood nearly 5'10, although his stance seemed off. He seemed to stand with a hint of pride, and trained posture, yet there was the hint of unsureness about himself, which often lead to clumsy movements. His fur was a bright, clean white, well taken cared of, splotched with black markings upon his paws, tail, and face. The mask covered his eyes, the bridge of his snout, and would curl up at the ends, where the mitts and socks were of various lengths, though his toes and fingers were white like the rest of his fur. His tail was fluffy, the end of it coated in black fur, and would often expose his true emotion at the time.
  
  Those sharp blue eyes were full of curiosity, if not confusion, often snooping where he may get himself in trouble. However, his eyes also seemed to hold something within them, some more sensitive to the spiritual world have whispered of feeling like they were being gazed at by many. The 'hair' on his head was just as white as his fur, and seemed to be rather well groomed as well, although never seeming to be styled and let free to do as it pleased.
  
  Upon further inspection, one may note a thing or two about him. His hands seemed to have numerous scars under the fur, most seeming to be of sharp rocks or metal of some sort. Any other scars, if any, seemed to be hidden, as he often wore clothes that concealed most of his body. His claws were also well kept, sometimes even painted if people payed close enough attention.

  
  
  

  Personality

  
  Incredibly shy. If he were stabbed and bleeding out, and a doctor who he never met was near, nine out of ten times he'd rather just bleed out then 'bother' them with his 'problems'. Growing up isolated from the world, he never had that interaction with others excluding a handful of traders and caravans, so there is an extreme social-awkwardness about him when it came to meeting new people. In groups, he'll often keep to himself, and will only speak when spoken to or he finds a chance to speak without interrupting another. However, with that, he was also curiosity incarnate, which often lead him into situations he would have rather never even gotten into.
  
  However, should someone ever befriend him, he may seem like a whole new person. He'll open up a lot, laugh and joke, and actually hold a conversation. Some might say he won't even shut up at points. If he's with said individuals in a group, he'll often try to hang near them, perhaps for a comfort zone, and may actually try to speak up, though there was still hesitation with it. Should a friend be in trouble, he'll also do something which even bewilders him and stand up for them, often to the point of getting himself in some form of trouble. Unknowingly, this has been used against him time and again before.
  
  However, being the introvert he is, he also enjoys just escaping the social scene and hiding away somewhere. More often then not he'll be tinkering with some clock work device, reading a book, sketching a picture, snoozing, or even tinkering with music boxes. If one manages to sneak up on him, they may even see him practicing with his rapier and daggers, though he would quickly dismiss it if he found someone watching him.

  
  
  

  Abilities

  
  The curious attitude has gotten him in much trouble, but it also has helped him out in the long run so far. Even at a young age, tinkering and clockwork has been an interest of his, often tearing apart music boxes and clocks to see how they work, before putting them together, most of the time in working condition. Ever since he went out on his own, he has taken tinkering as a hobby, if not a profession of sorts. Some may say he's borderline inventor, even.
  
  

  Fighting

  His fighting skills are sub par, but it has helped him live many bandit ambushes. On his person he carries a rapier, and two daggers, a parrying dagger, and a trident dagger, one on each side of him. He has also taken into fighting dirty, to make up for his lack of strength, often using clockwork devices to even the odds.. though the chance of them back firing keeps him from doing this too often. More often then not, though, he tends to 'win' his fights simply by tiring his opponent and running away, or tricking them.. and running away. Brave warrior, he be not.

  
  
  

  Magic

  Magic wise, he has dabbled with it. He has taken to the cold side of things, using ice and frost abilities.. normally to help him escape pursuers. This said, he has dealt with other simpler spells, such as fire ball and arcane shot, though those tend to backfire on him, so he avoids those the best he can.
  However, with the normal spells known to most who know him, he has a darker side which he tries to avoid and hide, even from himself. From a young age, Death has been a big part of his life, even if he didn't want it. A 'gift' bestowed upon him, he has been well versed in the ways of necromancy, often to the point of hearing spirits from 'the other side', and seeing ghosts, most of which tend to be vengeful spirits of the wrongfully murdered. He has used these darker abilities in the past, often to protect others he cared for, only for him to be banished time and again, ending up loathing this gift of his. In the end he knows he can't run from it forever, though he'll keep doing so until he finds a way to use it beneficially, or lose this 'gift' of his forever.
