Rah,

Rah-juh King of Thieves

8,000

Gender:

Male

Species:

Kitsune / Siren hybrid

Abilities:

He possesses the ability to read minds. He's quite skilled at chipping down most mental blocks (while maintaining his own, of course), and only a few have ever been able to avoid his telepathy. Though for these few individuals Rah-juh is able to get basic thoughts and emotions from them. In addition to this, Rah-juh holds the ability of mind control, further adding to the danger. While this ability can be resisted it's incredibly difficult for others to ignore his verbal suggestions. He rarely fully takes over another's mind and body, as it takes away all the fun.

Rah-juh also holds several kitsune abilities. He's gifted with illusions, though not to the point where he'd lose a tail should one be seen through. His primary element is spirit, which he crafted and shaped into the ability of telepathy and mind control, a "gift" from his Siren of a mother.

To make up for this lack of offensive element use, Rah-juh is specialized in several arts. He can pick locks, craft poisons, and is skilled with weapons. His weapons of choice are projectiles, often laced with poison. He's stealthy and surprisingly fast for a man of his size.

Appearance:

As a human, Rah-juh is devilishly handsome, and he knows it. With his square jaw, broad shoulders, and chiseled physique, the man has been mistaken for a model before. He has that rugged, yet graceful air about him that seems to drive women crazy, and he’s not afraid to use it to his advantage. He stands at six feet two inches tall, and weighs in at about one-hundred and eighty pounds. His skin is a delicious olive tone, and he becomes particularly tan in the summer months. His jaw is square, and occasionally he will have a small amount of stubble on his face. This is rare, since the man likes being clean shaven. His narrow, slightly upward slanting eyes are a deep black color that reflect whatever emotion the man decides to portray. They can hold anything from laughter to homicidal mania.

For a man, Rah-juh takes incredibly good care of his hair. His locks are a charcoal black that shows hints of gold in strong light. His hair is thick, and falls in loose, layered strands. He prefers to keep it long, and tastefully so, with the back usually falling to the nape if his neck while leaving his bangs to frame, and occasionally hang, in his face if he so desires.

His style could be called eccentric. Rah-juh is almost always found wearing a heavy black roquelaire (fancy talk for a knee length cloak), which is tattered towards the bottom from years of wear. It is held together at the neck with a gold clasp engraved with an intricate pattern of swirls. This roquelaire is essential to his escapades, since the inside contains his tools of the trade. Lock picking tools, several knives, a dagger or two (or twenty), a mirror, and smoke bombs, just to name a few. There is a reason his roquelaire is heavy. Underneath this Italian cloak, Rah wears whatever he fancies, usually a grey tunic, black trousers, and soft leather boots He's armed to the teeth, and has several belts, buckles, and pockets on her person. Aside from his unusual sense of dress, Rah-juh is always armed to the teeth, with several knives of different sorts being hidden somewhere on his person. He can be portrayed with black fox ears and eight black tails (tipped with white), but he often prefers to appear completely human to hide his kitsune nature.

As a kitsune, Rah-juh is a dark black. His pelt starts blackest black at his back and along his neck, and gradually fades into a dark sort of charcoal grey down by his belly. There is a line of metallic silver fur between his snow white belly, which begins at the jaw and down to his groin, and his black pelt. This metallic silver also swirls delicately over his pelt, particularly on his face, paws, and tail. His eyes are just as dark as they are in his human form, though sometimes they gleam silver. He has eight incredibly bushy tails, all tipped white.

Personality:

Rah-juh is not a man you want to meet in a dark alley, unless you happen to be in the need of someone of his particular... talents.

Rah has a charm about him that not only affects women; it affects everyone he talks to. He is incredibly social, and for good reason. In his line of work, knowing when to play your cards and when to make friends can be a lifesaver--quite literally, at time. He puts up a gentlemanly, albeit flamboyant, front to hide his true intentions. He is fairly good at reading people, and when combined with his ability to read minds this makes him incredibly good at seeking out weaknesses.

The man loves control. Absolutely no part of his personality is submissive. He is the dominant party, and always refers to himself as such. He always tries to be three steps ahead of the competition, so that he can adjust things to turn out in his favor. He is the chess master, and people are his pawns. Rah has little regard for the safety of others outside of his employer or immediate circle. He is rather impulsive, although he does regain some form of control, and has a smile that can turn blood to ice. He has few people that he cares about, and won’t hesitate to switch sides in the middle of battle if things seem like they won’t end up in his favor. With a constant need to be entertained, boredom is his worst enemy, and if he fails to be amused he will find something to do. And more often than not it is unimaginably destructive to either property or people. He can often be reckless, putting himself in harm's way for the sake of a good time. Even this has its limits, as he is a firm believer in "He who fights and runs away lives to fight another day". Should Rah-juh find himself outclassed or outmatched he will quickly turn tail and flee to preserve his own life.

While generally a seedy character, Rah is not completely without morals. He will never turn on a client, nor will he take jobs that involve the slaughter of children. He lives in a constant fear of inflicting harm on close friends, limiting his relationships outside of a professional setting. He still struggles with the demons of his past, and while trying to be an at least half-decent person, Rah still finds himself struggling.

History:

Rah-juh was born to a prostitute who never wanted him. She resented him, because for nine months he kept her out of work. In addition to that, her finances were already strained. The addition of a child strained her budget even more. The first five years of Rah-juh's life was filled with abuse, torture, and neglect. He was beaten in drunken rages, auctioned off to the highest bidder on a weekly basis, and sexually abused. Often this was the only time when he would be fed regularly. One night his mother returned home in a drunken stupor and began to beat him senseless with a liquor bottle. Rah-juh, terrified for his life, ran.

The five-year-old hid in the rain, begging for food in the nearest city he could get to. He was fortunately found by a thief named Drake, who took the boy in and taught him everything he knows. He remembered nothing of who he was, only a name; Rah's mind had blocked out the torment and abuse he suffered at the hands of his mother. Rah-juh lived in peace for many years, often tending to the other orphans Drake took in. Everything was sunshine and rainbows until Drake left one day and never returned. Rah waited for months, caring for the orphans as Drake had, but he could only wait so long. Rah-juh eventually left his home and traveled the realm, stealing to get by.

After many, many centuries Rah-juh began to make a name for himself. Life had made him cold and ruthless. To cement his own power, he began a guild of thieves. Though as time passed the numbers of his group began to dwindle as his members died, his own life longer than their own. It has gone without saying that Rah-juh has earned every single one of his eight tails, and still aims higher.
