Player Name: "Kirious" Character name: True Name Unknown, going by "Kirious" currently. Known in less law abiding circles as "Envy." Regional affiliation: IC, None (OOC Windurst) Rank: Windurst Rank 10 Fighting Styles: Mimicry, Ninjutsu, Some Black Magic, and a very low ability in White Magic
Age: 21 (Estimated, and currently in doubt) Hair: Red Eyes: Blue-Gray Height: Slightly Short for a Hume
General Appearance: Kirious tends to wear one of two expressions. Primarily he is seen with a small, non threatening smile which he seems to use as a poker face. He frequently breaks this with an impossibly large, unsettling toothy grin when a plan has gone just right, or someone has played directly into his hands.
Weaknesses: Kirious has issues with his arrogance getting the best of him, sometimes leaving a gap in his plans after he underestimates an opponent. In similar vain, sometimes he will take a step back and allow his prey a second chance if he feels a win was too easy or is enjoying himself too much for the game to end.
Likes: Anyone he finds entertaining, Yagudo Drink, Ginger Cookies Dislikes: Navigating, Anyone with "A constant stick up their ass" Favorite Hide-Aways: Neptune's Spire, Norg, Port Jeuno, Often takes up temporary residence near his current targets
Quotes: "I had really hoped you were going to play along…" "No, no, I might still kill you. But if I did, I have no idea what I'd do tomorrow" "Oh now, no hard feelings, it was all in fun. How about I give you a bit of information to make it up?"
Hobbies: Impersonating fighting techniques and voices (He's getting quite good at male ones, his female voices still need a fair amount of work though) Also enjoys urban legends and stories.
Biography:
Recently, there has been whispered rumors floating around Jeuno. Wild, unbelievable stories about ancient immortals and a land in the sky. Of course, the person who believes these stories probably also believes the tales of parallel worlds, or about the shadow that walks is Konschtat Highlands when the moon disappears In this world though, are these rumors REALLY that improbable?
A certain information dealer by the calling tag of "Envy" has picked up a certain amount of infamy in the underworld, as both a reliable source of info and a cunning trickster. The information he gives tends to be accurate and reliable, as long as it isn't on the subject of himself.
"Kirious", as he is known by his current prey, regularly follows up on these sorts of rumors. A frequent dealer in information, he tends to keep the best stories for himself, and sells the rest. Why keep the potentially profitable stories, and sell the worst of his stock? This particular dealer would literally prefer to die of starvation than be bored.

His nickname came primarily from his unique type of photographic memory, referred to as "Adoptive Muscle Mimicry", or sometimes "Photographic Reflexes." Essentially this means if the man sees an attack, he is very likely to not only remember it perfectly, but may even be able to imitate it. While it is rare that he can duplicate an attack immediately, the man will not need further instruction to use the particular technique, and will be able to execute it on his own with some practice. If he sees it very clearly (As if it is being demonstrated specifically for him) or multiple times, he can sometimes learn it much faster. Like everything learned though, these techniques can be forgotten if they are not reinforced. More often than not, Kirious uses this gift to anticipate attacks and where they will strike. often this means faking out his opponent with Utsumi Shadows, letting the opponent think they their attack will land as Kirious counter attacks.
He also has a similar ability with sounds, and with enough practice can perfectly imitate another's voice. Though this does not mean he will use the same speaking style or pronunciations as the one he is intimidating if he has not heard them speak enough. He is also currently working on throwing his voice, though progress in this area has been slow.
Background
Kirious has what some people refer to as…a multiple choice history. The same person can ask him about his childhood a dozen times, and get a completely different story on each telling. These can range from believable tales, to much more unnerving sessions. One of the latter in particular involved telling the listener's life story back to him in frightening detail. It is not currently known whether he is actively hiding his past, if this is just a form of toying with others, or doesn't know himself.
Notes: If you see me in game, feel free to engage me in walk up RP. I'm always in character unless I'm out with a party or in an area that hasn't been opened story-wise. The only other factor will be that I may not necessarily be wearing the same gear IC.
