Caplin Taithok

Caplin Moralis Taithok

Growing up in the small farming village to the north of Kare, on the western side of the Cragg tongue Mountains , young Caplin always wanted to see the world. His father and mother being serfs to the Duke who owned Caplin's home town, Pethim, and the other settlements surrounding it, always told him to move on, keep his head down, and do his work. They said his dreams where adorable, cute, and colorful, everything, but possible. Over time as Caplin grew older, he realized that his parents didn't believe in him, or take him or his dreams seriously. They became more and more stern as His adult hood approached, and Caplin hated them for this. All his life he had tried to spread the love that he thought his family gave him in little acts of kindness and trickery. Slip an extra pinch of sugar into bread here, help travelers find the inn there. But now he realized that it wasn't love he was given, it was pity, pity for something he had no control over. Pity for his birth, because one day they knew that Caplin would live a life like their sorry asses. So he left. A group of singers, dancers and bards came through town, and Caplin asked if he could join them, and he blew right out of his past life.
Now over the course of several years on the road, Caplin learned some tricks from the leader of the group. The bard gladly began to teach him deception, coercion, and the very infrequent spell. Caplin never understood how the bard weaved magic with music, and frankly couldn't wrap his head around it, but with the help of stolen books, and scroll's, Caplin learned the very basics of magic as a science. With his new found talents, and love for socializing, caplin never missed an opportunity to meet and speak with the colorful people of the world. After 4 years on the road, entertaining people with parlor tricks, and putting the spark of inspiration back into peoples life day by day, it became apparent over time how cruel the world is, it never happened all at once, but his band of found family slowly either separated, or died as they traveled, and as Caplin saw the last breath of his final found family member slip away one night, he was alone. With tears and a weak smile, Caplin buried the last of his family, promising to spread the joy and love he had been given by his new family to every one, whether it be a joke, a prank, or an act of kindness.
Caplin now alone, and craving social activity a few weeks later, found his way to Tri'Roads, a large trading outpost connecting 3 major roads. This was the heart of trade inland, and every manner of people traveling to or from Draken (the Capitol) stopped here. Caplin began to look for a way to make coin, as he was running low on funds, and found his way to become a courier. Over the next 3 years he worked as a courier, and having a natural knack for it and magic, and he caught the eye of Headmaster Tethaz of House Daflazo after meeting several times during Caplin's Deliveries. Couriers, due to Reaflax Relay's, don't handle interior message delivery, unless its private, or local, so most of Caplins work had brought him out of Kare'Gora to foreign lands. Over time Caplin had been moving messages quite frequently from, and to the headmaster, and eventually became curious as to why his letters where always kept quiet, and out of the country. so Caplin began to sneak peaks into the letters, and eventually put the pieces together. Caplin discovered that Tethaz of House Daflazo, and his family where smuggling magical secrets of Kare to its main enemy, Venor for large sums of money, and that is how they gained the money to reach nobility. Caplin didn't know what to think, and he didn't know what the right thing to do was, so he promised himself that with this evil, he would bring good back to the world, one trick at a time, and to do so, he would have to become more powerful. So, Caplin Blackmailed Headmaster Tethaz Daflazo into getting him into school, and sponsoring him so he wouldn't have to pay for it either. The headmaster, though angered, and fearful of this situation kept his cool, and agreed to Caplin's terms, silently plotting Caplins "disappearance" from the shadows.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

I'm very lean, not to muscular though, I have to stay light to run all day.

Physical quirks

My right horn is longer than the left one, when I was a kid, i put tacks on the ass hole butches seat, and he jumped up in pain. I was laughing so hard i didn't notice him falling toward me, and my left horn broke when i hit the ground, it grew back, but its still shorter.
I slouch quite a bit, I'm very tall, so i have to look down at people quite a bit.

Apparel & Accessories

I'm wearing a faded crimson sleeveless coat that is made from Joon Worms silk, it is tight to my waist, and doesn't catch much wind. over the top of the coat is a purple silk mantle that drapes over my shoulders, but not much further than that. I have old brown leather gloves, with the tips of the fingers removed, seemingly over time from tearing. At my waist, several leather belts and colorful pink, blue, red, and purple sashes hang from my hip holding my component pouch, and several tools or baubles that dangle and sway with my movements. Attached to the back of one of the belts rests two sheathed daggers, and one of my coin pouches, the other being hidden on my person with most of my money. Finally around my waist, tail, and legs, underneath my sashes and belts are a set of faded dark green baggy pants that barely go past my knees. these pants are open at the outer thigh, but ar tighed together to hold them together. In short, I'm extremely loud, and unprofessional in appearance.
