The Basics: Who? Why? Where? How?
"Please, allow me to introduce myself: Theodore P. Muzenni, at your service."
Name: Theodore P. Muzenni
Goes By: Theo
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Birthday: 46, Autumn, 490 AV
Birthplace: Ravok
Profession: Bartender
Appearance
"I knew a morpher once: good man, knew his wine. Anyway, during one of our many alcohol-fueled discussions, I suggested he add me to his repertoire. He refused! Can you believe it? I'm such a perfect specimen too. In hindsight though, it makes sense. Perfection would be difficult to imitate even for the most skilled morpher, I think."
Standing at above average height, Theo boasts a slim build. Not quite lanky, but still long of limb; every movement he makes seems deliberate, and usually is. He keeps his hair cut short and styled in whatever fashion is popular, despite it usually being concealed beneath his hat. His moustache though? He would never change that: fashion or no fashion.
Theo's olive-coloured eyes sit content on his face. His nose is slightly too big, and his ears are likely too small. He's probably more handsome than most by traditional standards, but he's nothing special either. Theo wears his bartender uniform with pride even when not working: a white shirt, black trousers, black vest, and black shoes. He's not above adding some colour with his scarf and some style with his tophat, however.

Character Concept
"I sometimes wonder if there is something inately wrong in using hypnotism to get what I want, and I always decide that there isn't. A veluptuous woman will use her assets to affect those around her, for instance. We are always influencing those around us, so who cares how we do it?"
On the surface, Theo appears to be an egotistical, self-centered man used to getting what he wants. Of course, that is the idea, and does reflect a big part of who he is. Unfortunately, try as he might, Theo is unable to completely repress some of his better qualities. Sometimes without realising it, he will use his abilites to offer people a subtle, helpful nudge.
A bartender by trade, Theo presents a much more civil front to his patrons. He wipes the bar, he mixes drinks, and he throws out the occasional drunk. It is a humbling profession that Theo feels suits him very well. It also gives him ample oportunity to interact with people and practice his other, less reputable hobbies.
Theo is an accomplished hypnotist, having initially learnt the skill from a drunk. Though learnt probably isn't quite the right word, as it implies there was some teaching involved. The drunk in question, whose name Theo never bothered to learn, grew careless beneath his drink and tried to hypnotise him in a very obvious way one particularly slow night at work. A few free drinks and a promise of silence gained Theo a rough explanation of the initiation process and the magic's basic principles. He took to the craft like a fish to water and uses his skills in almost every aspect of his day-to-day life. Small things, of course; his anomynity as a hypnotist is his greatest ally. He might make people feel slightly more relaxed in his prescence, or give a barmaid a small pinch of confidence to help her through her shift.

Character History
Pre-Creation
"Being born in Ravok had its benefits, I think. I never used to consider why non-citizens were treated as less than human, it was simply the way things were. Even now, despite my growing distaste for the practice, I know I will never act upon it."
Theo's father, a fisherman named Vint, was an honest man who worked like a plough horse to provide for his family. Well built and broad of shoulder, Vint and his son had very little in common physically speaking. Theo's mother, a woman named Nina, was soft-spoken and harboured a fondness for reading. She handled most of her son's education, and her lessons are among his most cherished memories.
"All things considered, I often wonder how Ravok would function without The Black Sun keeping us in line. Not very well, I suspect. In this too we are indebted to them, I think."
Theo grew into a typical resident of Ravok. He worhips Rhysol as his only god, and his morals are flexible by normal standards. Eventually, he chose a profession he felt he could flourish in and pursued it diligently. Recently, however, the young man has found himself growing bored. Who knows where his life could lead, should an attractive challenge present itself.

Knowledge & Understanding
"If one were to ever write down my skills in a neat little list, it wouldn't accurately reflect the man that I am, I think. I can assure you that I am good at pretty much everything."

Rhysol
Theo worships Rhysol in much the same way that all of Ravok's citizens do. He is perhaps not quite as devout as the average citizen, but that is an issue of personality, not religion.

Heirloom
Sword Cane
Comprised of a thin blade concealed in a walking cane, it is not the blade that demands attention, but the cane itself. Made of Ebony, the main portion of the cane is strong and sturdy. The figurehead, which doubles as the blade's handle, is an ornately carved serpent head accented with common metals to give it some colour.

Ledger
"I always dislike having to review my personal finances, but such things are necessary evils, I think. Fortunately, I live a humble existance. So long as the wine is outrageously expensive I am content to pay very little for just about anything else."
