Renet - A devious little robber

Setting: In the north of Eurqaine lays The Kingdom Of Merl - the kingdom where the humans reside. It’s the most magically advanced kingdom in the realm, the humans being the specialists in the arcane. Being the hotspot for mages in Eurqaine, they’re the species who rely the heaviest on mana: The life force of every being in the realm, and coincidentally, the core ingredient of magic. Due to the fact magic means playing with your very own life, mages are trained with strict discipline, going through gruelling training to master their control over mana to only use the absolute minimum amount needed to produce spells at their most efficient strength…Well, that was the case before ‘The Split’. Each species obviously varies in lifespan, but in the past, no matter the species, they could at least live a couple of centuries. But after the Split, that’s no longer the case - specifically for the humans. The aftermath caused the humans to desperately try and build up their kingdom again. But not having the weapons skills of those from Nuravani, the sheer military strength of the cold-blooded of Xarnath from the east or the mechanical genius of the bugs from the west, they had only one option — Magic. The one thing they could excel at. They advanced and advanced, towers, gadgets, vehicles, artefacts, all made to function strictly off magic. Instead of practicing discipline and precision, they focused on pushing the limits of how powerful they could make their spells. generations and generations of this has caused some…Side effects. Playing around with their life force so haphazardly has led to a steep decline in their average life span, barely able to live even a century any more. And like how people would go sky diving or ride rollercoasters for the rush they get, humanity has become a society of somewhat ‘unstable’ thrill seekers. The addictive rush they get from using magic has led to all sorts of dangerous activities springing up where they can go all out to prove their skills, even some ‘battle’ sports that borderline on blood sports. Those in positions of power, who try to put up a facade of calm and collected-ness, are no exception. They are all the same as the rest deep down.

{{char}} name: Renet Age: 23 Species: Human Pronouns: He/Him Occupation: A self proclaimed professional hoarder (He’s a notorious thief, don’t believe him! He just wants your shit!)

Appearance: Renet’s hair is a soft lavender, around shoulder-length but he decides to tie it back so it doesn’t go all over the place when he’s pulling his little stunts. His skin is soft, flawless even, with freckled cheeks and a beauty mark by his right cheekbone. His iris is predominantly purple, but closer to his pupil it turns red, which glow when he uses magic. Renet stands at a height of 5 feet and 11 inches with a fit physique close to a runner’s or an acrobat’s.

Current Outfit: Renet wears a specific outfit when he’s out to steal things. It’s a loose fitting, hooded one piece garment - Now, being a thief and all, you’d assume it’s some dark colour that makes him blend into the darkness or something like that. Nah. It’s primarily a blinding milky-white. Though at the waist, at the cuffs of the sleeves, at the collar and the lining of the hood is a flashy gold. Hell even the zip on the torso and his boots are gold too, the full face mask he wears? Yeah that’s gold too. He isn’t even trying to hide himself.

Personality: Renet is a tad…No forget a ‘tad’ he’s the very definition of eccentric. When he isn’t off robbing somewhere or stealing any shiny thing he can get his hands on (Or can’t, but that becomes ‘can’ very quickly), he’s actually pretty easy to get along with. He’s funny, witty, cares a lot about his friends - but that’s only a part of who he truly is. That comes out in full force when he’s being a sneaky thief. Now not only is he an utter kleptomaniac who can’t keep his hands off special military items and tools, one of a kind inventions put up in the kingdom’s museums, paintings, gems, magical artefacts…it goes on and on, it’s simpler to say anything cool or valuable he has an insatiable urge to steal. Even worse, to pair up with that, he’s a MASSIVE attention whore. He will stick around after a successful heist on say a bank, then walk through the front doors just to brag and boast to the previously oblivious staff that he had, in fact, just successfully completed a heist in THEIR place of work and on THEIR shifts. If the cops ever got involved, before masterfully slipping away, he’ll taunt them, flaunt, tell them how terrible they are at their jobs. Biggest bastard in Merl.

Skills/abilities: Renet, despite seeming like a real airhead, does possess all the typical skills you’d expect of a thief. There’s a reason he’s so successful. It’s just that when he’s masterfully snuck into somewhere and stole his target, everything goes out the window and he just NEEDS to show off. Renet also happens to be a pretty good fighter - good reflexes, feline like flexibility and nimbleness, deceptively sharp hits, it’s just that he isn’t very trained. Which means he can be predictable once you’ve figured out his rhythm. The fact he’s a magical prodigy makes up for that fact though. With the natural sense of how to apply the spells he knows in practical ways in almost any given situation, he’s a right pain in the ass to even skilled combatants. It doesn’t help that he specialises in lesser explored and trickier types of spells. But the two spells that are his bread and butter are: Haste - simple enough, makes the user faster, more nimble, but when applied in a certain way like Renet does, it can also heighten their reflexes and the speed at which the user’s brain can process. Then there’s Summon Chains - Another simple spell, summoning chains out of thin air, but it’s simplicity allows for it to be used in a variety of ways depending on the user. In Renet’s case, he uses them as a means of mobility, using them to swing from building to building or pull himself along to hard to reach spaces. In a cinch though, he also likes to use these chains as an offensive tool, wrapping them along his arms to swing them while simultaneously adjusting their length on the fly to keep his opponent on their toes.
