Dave Idle
Yavidey Ambrosian Idrell (a.k.a. Dave Idle, Charles Amsterbury, Julian Kincaid, and countless other aliases.)
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Dave is slim, but with slight musculature, and is quick and light on his feet, but if he doesn't take the medication given to him by the guild, the ink vein hinders his fighting and athletic abilities.
Body Features
Horns, as smooth and gray as marble, with light fur covering his upper body, while his legs are covered in a thick pelt of fur.
Facial Features
Though his face is mostly human shaped, his nose, ears, and eyes are goat like.
Identifying Characteristics
Dave is unremarkable, and made even harder to identify by his knack for disguises. The only identifying features are the fact he's half dionysian/half human, and his ink vein affliction.
Physical quirks
When nervous, Dave's right ear will twitch--but when excited or aroused his left ear will twitch. He also tends to flip a coin, and will sometimes do it unconsciously.
Special abilities
Along with being quick and nimble, Dave also picked up his mother's love and talent for acting, and can pitch his voice to sound like someone else, as well as convincingly fake emotions.
Apparel & Accessories
Dave has many different outfits for many different occasions, but his "plain clothes" consist of a leather jacket, faded khakis, and a ring that once belonged to his mother from her days in theater.
Specialized Equipment
Dave is never without his daggers, or his disguise kit, but outside of this his outfit his interchangeable, though the most common items are rope, a crowbar, climbing gear, and glass cutters.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Born into the royal family of Idrell, Dave was raised by his human mother, Georgina Ambrosian, till her death at the age of thirty-five. Afterwards he was raised under the authoritarian rule of his father, and knew nothing but constant judgment and ridicule, due to taking after his mother, showing more love for the theater.. At the age of fifteen he escaped to Verte-Paysage on one of his father's merchant ships, effecting the name Dave Idle, and from then on has lived by the skin of his teeth through petty theft, professional burglary, fraud, etc. Currently he's under the employ of The Guild of Shadows, performing more altruistic goals for the guild--though more often than not he's a reluctant accomplice.
Sexuality
Bisexual.
Education
Because of his noble background, Dave knows much about court etiquette, and along with his street knowledge, Dave can fit in with any crowd.
Employment
Because he possesses no magical abilities, Dave is a low level agent of The Guild of Shadows, though because of his ability to improvise, and his outstanding work in the guild, he has more privileges and assets granted to him, and the Guild relies on him more than any other grunt. All this, despite only being employed for a year.
Accomplishments & Achievements
Before being employed in The Guild of Shadows, Dave had tried to turn his life around at age eighteen, becoming a troubadour, and gaining some notoriety and fame throughout the free cities. Part of the reason for this change was because of his friend, Howard Bachmann, who threatened to turn Dave over to the Free Marshals if he continued his dangerous living.
Failures & Embarrassments
The other reason for Dave turning a new leaf is because he almost got he and Howard killed during a job--what at first appeared to be a legitimate monster hunting contract, that turned out to be a complicated set up to start war with the Bachmanns. What got Dave back into the life of a paid thief was the day he met the witch Sarah Lang, who laid a curse upon him, forcing him to take on another job. In the end Dave killed Sarah, but the curse wasn't lifted.
Mental Trauma
Years of constantly being mocked by his father has led Dave to constantly second guess himself, and to develop a lack of confidence--something he overcompensates for. Along with this is the constant guilt over his past mistakes from previous jobs, and both of these things combined has led to a feeling of self worth; every day he brings himself down, and tries to better himself for flaws that may or may not exist.
Intellectual Characteristics
Dave is able to improvise on the spot, and no matter what the situation may be, he's constantly examining the scene around him, and plots out ahead of time for the worst case scenario.
Morality & Philosophy
Dave is rebellious by nature due to his father's verbal abuse, and strikes out at most authority figures that he deems cruel or unfair, but doesn't want outright anarchy. He also believes in taking what you want, but only for the sake of survival.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Living to see tomorrow is what pushed Dave forward, especially his never ending quest to be free of his curse.
Savvies & Ineptitudes
Though Dave is quick with a joke, he often doesn't know when it's gone to far, but unlike most people he knows when to keep his mouth shut.
Virtues & Personality perks
Dave is loyal to a fault, and is most likely to be the most stalwart champion for a cause he deems worthy of his time.
Vices & Personality flaws
Though Loyal, he has no sense of honor, and will often try under handed tactics to get his way.
Personality Quirks
Other unconscious actions include: singing, and tapping his feet--sometimes this progresses to dancing.
Hygiene
Dave maintains proper hygiene, though if he's in a job long enough, he may not have the time to keep up with it.
Social
Contacts & Relations
Howard Bachmann--who goes by the name Wolf--is one of Dave's few friends, though he begrudgingly includes his handlers within the guild.
Family Ties
Dave has no ties with his family since he fled from Termerion, feeling more of a kinship with his dead mother, who he barely knew.
Religious Views
Like most athiests in Nosirend, Dave believes in the gods, but believes them to be unworthy of his worship, blaming them for all the problems of the world, and for the dangers of mana.
Social Aptitude
Dave has no true confidence, his bravado is just a show to hide his uncertainty and stress, but still he does have a bit of an ego when it comes to performing songs or telling jokes, and his fake it till you make it mentality has served him well.
Mannerisms
Dave can be somewhat cocky when he speaks, and can show flamboyant tendencies when speaking to certain people, such as bowing or giving intricate gestures with his hands when introducing someone, but with friends or associates, his voice is calm, and somewhat professional.
Hobbies & Pets
Dave's hobbies include: Music, and reading.
Speech
Dave has a slight Ternish accent, and his tone of voice can either be cocky, arrogant, or petulant, while the pitch of his voice is somewhat high.
