Masked Fool

The trick, I whisper, is to see things before they see you.

 Two  sides to a story but they never tell my side. Never been the kinda guy to stay inside the guidelines. I know I'm the bad guy, I don't gotta ask why. If you try step to me, it'll be the last time. I got dirt on my name, six feet in the ground. I got people in my past try bringin' me down, and I don't wanna be found.Grew up in the shadow but I know they watchin' me now.

 rule i.  zero-tolerance policy for bigotry, transphobia, homophobia, and racism. rule ii.  I am 21+ and am most comfortable if my writing partners are as well. I am open to all types of RP, but I am most interested in dark/mature themes. Erotica will never happen in-game, but I am fine discussing it in discord. rule iii.  Your characters are welcome to harm Caliban, but not permanently maim or kill them. The results will most certainly get you an interaction with their boss. (All I ask is that you give me a heads up or ask!)

 rule iv.  In regards to romantic interest. I am multiship. I have and will have more than one ship that are their own alternate universe. I am very selective. rule v.  That being said, I welcome any friendship/rivalry/enemy, etc. Any friendship with Caliban! They are quite friendly, but that does not mean they trust easily. rule vi.  IC =/= OOC. This is self explanatory. Please do not confuse ic for ooc. rule vii.  one-shots at venues are ok, but for anything more substantial, I much prefer discord rp.

 INTRO://  The Second-in-Command to the Graveyard Shift mercenary group lead by Vivian Hallows. A well traveled menace that hails from Meracydia. Once part of a crew of pirates that has long disbanded after their inevitable capture and incarceration by the Maelstrom. A seemingly good-natured and somewhat hard to understand fellow on the surface, but don't let that fool you. They never miss.

 Aethersight 
Caliban's aethersight is quite strong. Enough so that they require glasses to avoid blinding themselves while around the company of other, living things. In their eyes, aether appears as a bright light (or shadow) that is wrapped in a web of threads that stretch for an immeasurable amount of distance and time. These threads allow them to be an excellent tracker, as Caliban can follow these lines and where they lead to the person or to something related to them.Aether, to them, is much like a fingerprint. It is an identifier to each and every person they meet; all with its respective little nicks and charms, and elements that might be tied to it. The stronger the aether or element, the brighter the light. For people with more dark-aspected aether, the light is more like a shadow that obscures the person into a silhouette.

 Face Blindness  : Caliban cannot see faces clearly or detailed features of the people they meet. Their perception of the world is oft obscured by the blinding (or shadowing) aether and its threads. For all intents & puproses, Caliban can be considered mostly blind. There is, to this day, only one person that they have been able to see the face of.

 Touched by the Lifestream  : Due to their sight's strength and how it functions, Caliban is also able to see the residual aether of the departed. Effectively, they can see spirits and sometimes be able to communicate with or hear the remaining thoughts and feelings.

 Divine Readings. 
Caliban can offer divine card readings. This is mostly for fun, and they often advises not to take their words seriously... but there is certainly some merit to the things they can read from those cards and the aether of those who ask for a reading.

 Healing? Perhaps.  : Capable of healing and manipulating one's aetherial threads... but do not expect them to give that service willingly or without ample payment (one that is most certainly not affordable by anyone). Rumor has it that they may have capabilities of time manipulation as well.

 Meracydian & the Seas. 
If anyone has ties to the ports or sea-fairing pirates on the southern seas by Meracydia, there is a possibility to recognize Caliban & their unique features (eyes and tattoo) as a former crew of one of these ships (or even as a former Captain). Their reputation was a much darker one for the time.

 █ . 
Something something, how do you feel about cosmic horrors?

 For Hire. 
If one is in need of a job done such as tracking lost packages or missing persons, treasure & bounty hunting, or particularly issues dealing with lingering spirits and ashkin, Caliban can provide assistance... for the right price.Not a solo act, as they are the second-in-command to the Graveyard Shift, and any jobs taken by them will involve or mention other members.

 Hook goes here.
