Devlin Ivar Physical Information: Race: Human Gender: Male Age: 19 Birthday: 1, Spring, 494 Starting City: Nyka Birthplace: Nyka Appearance: Height: 5'7" Weight: 145 lbs Build: A runners body Hair Color: Brown Eye Color: Brown Facial Hair: Neatly trimmed beard Tattoos: A spiral sun around his belly button, Laat pouring flames from an urn over his heart Character Concept “Life isn't worth living, if there was no reward at the end of the dice toss.” Those words are what Devlin lives by, and whole heartedly embraces. To him, everything needs to be a risk, yet that doesn't mean he's reckless. It's actually the exact opposite, he only ever takes the risk after he's calculated all the odds and ways it could go wrong, as well as the rewards. Risk and reward, the two sides to the coin of life, and Devlin flips that coin every time he goes out. He loves testing his luck and cunning on the unwary visitors to his city; pushing his luck to the edge as he tries to manipulate people into parting with their money willingly in one con or another. His favorite con is posing as a Monk at the Palace of Supplicants and taking people’s money in exchange for "Faster Entrance." Like all his escapades, he usually ends up on the run from an angry crowd. His goals are shrouded in mystery, though those that get close to him can usually place a few guesses. He seems to be trying to make money to further his agenda, by any way he can and as quickly as he can. His motivations are kept close to his heart, and it's caused people to mistrust him. However, he can be kind, caring, and loving when he wishes to be. After all, he's a confidence artist. He has to be approachable. Character History The beginning of Devlin's life starts with a tragedy of a love story. A poor woman, working her way in the western district as a weaver, and a monk of Xannos fall in love. Or so the woman thinks. And as those who fall in love do, they had sex and for a time life was great for the woman. She ended up making more money as her clothes were bought by the monks to be enchanted and she got perks that her lover brought to her shop. But it wasn't meant to last. Soon the commisions came slower and slower until they all but stopped. Her lover explained it away as no more need to enchant clothes, and that in time they would pick up again. But as time went on she saw less and less of the monk, until he simply stopped coming around. She was heartbroken, the man she had loved and been faithful and devout to had abandoned her. That and the fact she was pregnant. She hadn't saved any of the extra money she had been making, having believed that her lover would take care of her, and now with a child on the way she was in dire straights. While food wasn't scarce inside the city, space was. Her problem was that she had shunned everyone else in her romance of the monk, and broke contact with those who once bought from her. With the income from the monks dried up, she would have to rely on the generousity of the city to pay for her and her son. Of course, she didn't just give up. She struggled and struggled to gain back her contracts and to sell more clothes she weaved, but nothing worked. She just seemed to be hated by the district now, and nothing she did worked out. Soon she could no longer afford the large appartment she had been renting and had to move out of the district. Moving to the eastern district, she found herself more accepted than in her previous home. Finding a job as a chef she managed to scrape by enough money to keep her and her son fully clothed, and living in a comfortable life. However this took years and years to accomplish, and in the meantime her son suffered. Not always having clothes that fit, or even a clean place to sleep, Devlin grew to hate his father who had forced his mother into this life. As a teen, he started going out and trying to make mischief for the Monks, specifically those of Xannos.
