SPECIFIC MAGICAL ABILITY Kassam has a few sorcerous talents that have proven to be a great boon to his chosen path. His abilities fall in the realms of shadows and are limited to muffling sounds around him, deepening shadows and a kind of heat-sensing vision that allow him to see in the dark as well as track down his quarries. However, his powers being shadow-aspected, they work best at night and as such are weakened by sunlight as well as full moons. However, under moonless skies, he can be a veritable death-dealing ghost.
| THE FOLLOWING INFO IS OPTIONAL - NOT REQUIRED!!! |
| PERSONALITY |
Kassam is a man whose passions run deep but he is known for being calm, cool and collected at all times. He is a man who prides himself on his control. Of himself, of circumstances, of all around him.
Despite being slow to anger, his wrath is a fearsome thing that is not to be underestimated for it usually is a quiet, cold thing. Should he raise his deep voice any louder than his customary low rumble, it is a sign that something is bothering him greatly and should be stopped if one values his health or life.
| HISTORY |
Kassam was born to be an assassin, like his parents and grandparents before him. From the age of five, he was trained and groomed for this dreadful trade and he took to it like a fish to water. When he reached the age of twelve, he received his first contract, a fence who would pay his clients with counterfeit coins and he discharged this duty well, his victim never had a chance when a pair of daggers found his kidneys and he could not even scream as a result of the perfect blade placement.
Since, Kassam received many contracts and much more training and before long it became clear he was truly a force to be reckoned with. Despite his size and weight, he was as a shadow, elusive and silent and to be marked for his interest was as sure a death warrant as any.
However, recently, a wealthy man, he retired to Viorli, where he opened a tavern where he enjoys his life as a rare example of a successfully retired assassin.
| BONUS INFO | At first glance, most people would not see Kassam as an assassin. Towering four inches above six feet and weighing in at better than two hundred pounds, he fits more the image of a dockside thug. However, he moves with a deadly grace and assurance and his eyes speak of intellect and constant observation.
In a chest, he keeps his old assassin's gear. Namely, thick, tight-woven silks mottled black and grey, his leather armour and his weapons. His arsenal consists of a pair of long, heavy daggers that are nearly short swords in their length and mass, several braces of throwing knives, some stilettos, a garrotte and a small ribless, spring-driven crossbow.
He's only my second character!
