Name:
Louis James the Blind
He has no last name, or at least one that he knows of....
Gender:
questionably male... {James: *proceeds to beat the crap out of Sumi*} >_<''' Okay! Okay! He's all male, just a little androgynous >_> *hides from her violent characters...
Race: Human...Light Mage
Age: 27-29
Hair:
Jet Black almost to his shoulders in length. When worn down it falls into gentle elegant curls. When he wears it up (which is most of the time) he ties it low at the back of the neck, letting a few shorter chunks fall around his face.
Eyes:
Almost pure white all the way through as if he was blind, (which he is not). Each part of the eye is visible, just in varying shades of greyish white. Lou hardly ever allows them to be seen and keeps them hidden under a blindfold whenever he is in public. Wearing his blindfold not only hides his eyes(which are off putting to most) but also nullifies the intensity of his 'gift' (which is the gift of foresight). His gift interrupts his regular vision, blurring it with future events of those around him. Obviously its gets a bit confusing trying to speak to a person while getting nonsensical flashes of their future, and everyone around them at the same time.
Physical Description:
Lou is fairly tall (5'11 at the tallest, maybe an inch or two shorter). He's well built and muscled without looking thick and chunky. Actually he appears quite the opposite, being lean, lanky and delicate (to the point of being a little feminine.) At first glance he is often mistaken for an attractive young lady {James: *growls*} Many drunk brute make this mistake and its not uncommon for him to get hit on (much to his embarrassment ><). But upon further examination he is obvious much more masculine, espeically in the way he carries himself </lyingtomakehimfeelbetter> *cough* >_>
Personality:
Bright and exuberant! Lou is a delightful sort of person that brightens up the room simply with his smile. He's naturally laid back, and so honest and polite many are suspicious of him at first. Once they get to know him, or even if they just chat with him for a few hours, they understand he's completely 100% genuine.
As warm and calm was as he is, he does have his dark moments....only his 'dark moments' aren't anything like a normal persons and border more on Schizophrenia. (On a side note, he uses the nickname Lou more for his 'lighter' side, and James for his 'dark side'. He doesn't really have any firm rules on it though, and doesn't mind either name no matter what his 'mood' is) Out of no where he just snaps and dark loathing explodes from every pore, more often than not resulting in broken limbs and bruises to himself and those around him. He has no explanation for his outbursts and is extremely ashamed of them, steering clear of everyone and everything when he feels one coming on. He'd rather be alone and do the damage to himself than injury anyone else. Consequently, his outburst rarely ever happen when he's alone and get more intense when he's surrounded by lots of people. Perhaps the un used magic of his gift builds up and needs some sort of release?
Occupation: Mostly a drifter, Lou makes his coin on being a performer. He does cheap, but effective tricks in the town squares. Sometimes when he's extremely low on money he does fortune telling, though thats only as a last resort. He likes to keep a low profile and the fact that his fortunes are actually real (not like those fake fortune telling gypsies that slink around the edges of town) has made him a more than a little popular with the towns people...which is definitely no fun for him. *pats her poor James*
Other information:
For about the last ten or elven years Lou has been traveling from place to place. He has no real reason for the constant traveling expect that he enjoys the sites, often he jokes that he's just a drifter at heart even if he secretly wouldn't mind settling down in a permanent home. For whatever reason he just can't seem to find a place for himself... it seems he's waiting for some sign or vision that will guide him to a place where he can truly call his own.
There is a big question mark when it comes to his past...he simply doesn't remember it. There are brief flashes of course, he can remember simple childish things like playing in rivers and climbing trees as a young child but never anything more. His memory just seems to stop at the moment he turned 17 leaving everything before then blank, he doesn't even remember his own mother and has to rely on stories told to him by others. Strangely enough, that doesn't really bother him...well not anymore anyway. (There was a time he was obsessed with it and literally drove himself into insanity, and eventually murder.). Now a days he is at peace with that particular demon (though the crime he had committed still haunt him once in a while) and does what he can to go with the flow.
Power?: Lou does have 'powers' (Some known, and unknown to him). They center mostly around his eyes, giving him the power of foresight (Seeing into the future). His visions are rarely clear, often just snippets of the lives of people surrounding him. They normally just come and go when they please but there are times when he can focus in on particular visions, pulling out certain facts that deem useful to him. They do become clearer and longer in length the closer the event is.
Its more or less a useful little gift, but he doesn't having it at all and would much rather be just a plain human being.
Money: 1 Gold 5 Silver
