View on Syrilas Riken views the city as a web, over which he reaches and spins further layers. He does his best to keep up-to-date with the latest gossip and information, amidst the contracts and regular surveillance he conducts as part of his job as an Information Dealer. After spending the effort to learn to navigate the winding levels of the Stormhold, and making a small network of acquaintances and clients, one could say Riken views the city warmly, if he/she was close enough to truly know the man. As for the winter, there truly isn't that much difference in his work. Seeing as most of his rendezvous are done within the castle itself, the weather rarely influences his schedule. His more discrete clients are dealt with in a more precarious manner given the lack of an outdoor scene, but it's never an insurmountable problem. Strengths: Intelligent, Intriguing, and Innocuous. Weakness: Distrusting, Deceptive, and often Distant. Skills Primarily his core cadre at the moment; Intelligence, Observation, Impersonation, Disguise. That is not meant to be restrictive, but should help serve as an indicator of how he tends to operate, at least initially. He's not the greatest when it comes time to fight, but he can hold his own for a decent amount of time (Against a drunk, perhaps). Also interested in learning Hypnotism if anyone is at a level to teach it, but that's definitely not something I'm focusing on at the moment. Plots Riken is always looking for acquaintances to make, and possible contacts for his intelligence work. If you ask any of the tavern keeps around the castle for a man of knowledge or a keeper of secrets, they should direct you to a location (randomly decided on a week-by-week basis), and give you a name; Ouroboros. It is strongly suggested that you support said tavern by buying a drink or two, as well. If you have a more nefarious streak and wish to work with/for him, message me, or if you have an interesting intrigue plot you've always wanted to flesh out, Riken would be happy to do his part. Cheers, mates. ^^ -Riken |
