Appearance

Physical Description

Rather scrawny. At least all of that running away has strengthened him a bit.

Body Features

Four limbs and four thumbs. Completely ordinary for him.

Facial Features

Somewhat lanky and underfed appearance. Outwardly, he looks like he could tumble over from a particularly strong breeze. During combat, he seems to take on a much darker and more maniacal expression, chanting spells, sometimes in otherworldly languages.

Apparel & Accessories

Prefers to wear the standard traveling cloaks of the realm he is currently in as not to draw attention to himself. Hides a valuable book containing many research notes and spell details within his shirt.

Specialized Equipment

Knows how to document runes and sigils of magic power. Ones that are related to teleportation are of particular interest and considered his specialty.

Special abilities

Can call forth his internal heritage and a set of [unknown] from him. They were ruined during the incident when he gained his powers and are currently without function.

Mentality

Personal history

Yousef Dinglebob, true name [unknown], was born in the year -1082DR in a long forgotten desert. His mother, raised him as part of the tribe which engaged in [unknown] as part of their [unknown] duties. Stumbling upon a derelict temple Yousef was teleported away from his home and subsequently exposed to magical experimentation by [unknown]. Following the series of tests, Yousef found himself wandering the planes of existence desperate to restore what had been taken from him. Stumbling upon an exchange with the Moon Mistress, Belethor, and [unknown], he was trapped in the realm of torture. Escape aided by the L.A.D.s killing of the Moon Mistress, Yousef set out with his goal of endless research, and the restoration of [unknown].

Education

Minimal formal education. What he knows he learned from innate ability following the combination of [unknown] which resulted in his rapid development of magic.

Employment

Considering himself a jack of all magics, Yousef hired himself out to whoever would hire him while he traversed the city of brass learning all that he could about planar walking.

Mental Trauma

All creatures have scars beneath the surface. Few have scars that choose to vocalize themselves. Opting to try and suppress his errant nature, Yousef engages in research with the aim to restore [unknown] which he believes will [unknown]. Generally inert, the darker parts of him surface when directly threatened or he encounters creatures that are identical to himself.

Morality & Philosophy

By and large Yousef believes in superiority of the mind. Those that control the flow of the world, are those that can change it. Following this philosophy, he believes that control is the natural order of things. When a mage casts a spell he is tweaking on the fabric of reality. Such an action is natural and right. Why than should he not try to learn how to control those strings, the very fabric of the world around him? Ambitious? Perhaps. Dangerous? Most certainly. Such is the nature of research into the arcane.

Personality

Motivation

Establish control.
