Info: Name: Konrad Class: Rogue [Prepromoted] Weapons: Swords/ A ; Daggers/ A ; Thrown/ B ; Unarmed/ B Country: Atsiria [Kanemoria] Languages: Trade [A], Atsirian [A], Dentorian [A] Mount: Vines [Horse] Age:20 21 Birthday: October 31st, 605 AR [Scorpio] Blood Type: A Family: Mother // Vina [Kanemoria (?)]; Father // Unknown [whereabouts unknown]
History: Konrad was born into a rather unstable environment in the Southern districts of Kanemoria. Although his mother could not afford to feed a mouth other than her own, she was impregnated with an unwanted child anyway. With the pregnancy came a detesting look from the father-to-be. She was not worthy of attention from a rich man if she became too fat, so she was cast away for a younger, more beautiful woman. With that, the man vanished from Konrad's life forever as he became a bastard child even before birth.
His mother had only one skill. Even as a newborn, he was left alone in a filthy crib while his mother went out to work, not making nearly as much as she used to. This is how he grew up. Surprisingly, he made it through infancy and passed a crucial stage in his life, even if it was only the beginning. By the time Konrad was eight years old, his mother decided that he was old enough to leave the nest. So, he was sold off to a traveling merchant, as if he were a strong and sturdy mule. Already understanding the minds of the conniving and manipulative women that surrounded him since birth, he knew exactly what his mother was doing with him.
He'd be better off anyway, he thought. She never loved him, after all. Anything, even slavery, would be better than the hell-hole he was living in. He slowly stepped onto the wagon, reluctant and yet hopeful for a better life. He looked back at the last second, only to catch a glimpse of his so-called mother counting the mere handful of coins that she got for selling off her son to work as a dog for the rest of his life.
He travelled and travelled.. and travelled some more as he educated himself along the way. He learned how to speak different languages, how to use a weapon, how to steal, how to cheat, how to manipulate, and how to lie. They never stayed in one place for too long for obvious reasons, and by the time Konrad was twelve years old, he and the merchant were in Atsiria. It was hot, dry, and brimming with potential. The day that he decided to stay was the day that he left the wagon with a few of his belongings and the money he had "earned" on his own. He left a bag full of coins and a note thanking the merchant for treating him better than his mother had ever even thought of treating him. This, however, he thought was his calling.By the age of seventeen, he called himself a conman by profession.
While out on a "job," Konrad ran into a woman... no, a man.. named Siere. Apparently, they were both conning the same person. Not wanting to blow a good chance at conning the wealthy out of their money, Konrad and Siere worked together at the last minute, only to find that he made quite a bit of money while working with a partner rather than alone. They decided to team up in this profession regardless of their different nature and personality, all in the spirit of becoming filthy rich.
Personality: Confident and full of ideas for new schemes, he is usually seen brainstorming his next location for profit. While he tends to prefer working alone, deperate times call for deperate measures, and since it's far easier to work with another when it comes to conning, he deals with the random moodswings and cynical nature of his partner for the sake of profit. Nevertheless, the two are always bickering and fighting like a married couple, which they play occassionally for some "jobs."
His snarky remarks and ability to keep a straight face at any given time have developed since early stages of his life. These developments have become both a burden and a skill. He is also able to control his emotions with ease and it is almost impossible for him to truly get close to another human being. Everyone is seen as a potential target in his eyes and he seems almost incapable of love or compassion. Because of his messy past, while he seems friendly and gentle, he is in fact cold and distant.
Appearance: Standing at 6'2", Konrad seems to give off a pleasant aura. Whether or not it is because of the hardships he's faced as a child is unknown, but his eyes occassionally give off a sense of wisdom and innocence, particularily to his future victims. His appearance has always worked to his benefit. He has brown hair and green eyes, features that help him stay discreet and plain to the public.
