Likes: Money, flowers, chocolates, spices, young/pretty women, books
Dislikes: War, rivalry especially economic-wise, unnecessary aggression/violence, crowds
Quirks: Has a particular energy to him for how he talks. His charisma is always trying to 'sell' you something whether its about his nice personality or an actual item for sale. His tactics are genuine honesty and kindness to sell his goods. Besides that, his words are used to keep his goals and solve situations. If he doesn't like a situation or a particular group, he is usually frantically doing something with his hands. Usually, it is rolling/smoking tobacco. When scheming or planing, Weyjeil tends to cross his fingers and interlock them.
Hobbies: Bartering, flirting, botany, desserts, luxury tobacco, interesting magic especially as party tricks
Goal(s): Get rich, become a renowned trader, study the arts of the arcane in the finest detail possible
*Personality: A comical, quick-witted man with a desire for money; flirty individual and very flashy in most of what he does, can go from a charmer to a jester to a thuggish ruffian depending on the situation
*Bio: Weyjeil never had a real family. As far back as his memories go, Weyjeil was taken care of in an orphanage after being abandoned by a seemingly unimportant couple. After that, a human-structured facility cared for him and the rest was history. Well, not exactly.
Weyjeil has been a haggler since he was able to walk using his very charisma to get whatever he wanted whether it was a toy from a child or an extra sweetroll for dinner. This developed when he realized his dream of becoming a professional trader. With a savings and an undying will, he left off at a very young age to the closest merchant's guild and the rest was history. Atleast, for simple stories.
Early in his career, Weyjeil was able to get his hands on a series of documents heavily detailing the arcane theory of "Gate" from an old sorcerer. Thinking a discovery like that would lead to riches, he went of in search to learn more of this magic through clues in this mage's research and old tales of bystanders. Finally, he found a book of ancient text. Less than a book, this collection of archaic arts of magic centered around something of a contract. The very day he found it, he also preformed the convoluted ritual which bound him the various planes of mana. "Gate" wasn't a new type of magic but a connection to the souls of arcane. This deal sold himself to an open world with an unknown fate. In return, his soul now had the ability to call on the aid of forces beyond his imagination.
This was not a story of a hero being born, however. Instead, Weyjeil took his newfound interest in the arcane to excel in his craft of buying and selling. His talents practiced were more of a performance and many far and wide heard of the merchant who dazzled crowds and offered inexpensive wares with the widest grin. Over years, the tale of "The Collector" was born. Weyjeil travels far and wide, performing and selling under a nickname to keep his identity a secret while building his fortune and reputation. Over a small time, he became a celebrity and a legend far and wide. Things looked great for him: a social status most could barely dream of, riches at every corner, and a wealthy life of fame and fortune that could only go up.
These dreams shattered quickly. The love of his life, Freyjah, took over control of the orphanage when he went off to adventure. He sent off money in his journeys back to his old home often, but the monthly sum he gave skyrocketed when he found out his old crush was burdened with an ill fate. A rare disease appeared in both her, her adoptive mother, and her sister-in-law. Freyjah was handling it as well as she could, but her family was considered to not have much time left. There were medicines to control the symptoms and keep them alive, but they were extremely expensive. Weyjeil put all his funds into whatever treatment was needed. However, there was no cure. Currently, he works hard in his business to build enough funds to hire doctors and alchemists alike to both discover what exactly this unknown disease is as well as how to cure it.

*Abilities:
GATE SUMMONING
Wuju has made a contract to tie himself to the world of arcana. With this, he has the ability to randomly summon a being for a single day.
Rules:
1. Wuju can only have one utility and one combative summon at a time.
2. If a summon is disliking the way the summoner is acting or their current personality OR by the summoner's choice, a combative summon can be rerolled for the day. This can only be done once per day and a summon can only be conjured once per day. However, a summon can be dismissed at any point besides Summon 1 and Summon 20.
3. Utility summons can not be rerolled.
4. If a combative summon is killed in combat, it is out of commission for a week. If rolled, it will automatically pick the main summon.
5. To properly summon, the caster must be calm and sound of mind. For Utility, a six sided die is rolled. For Combative, a twenty sided die is rolled.
6. All summons only last for 24 hours unless there is other interference to change this. The only exception to this is the summoner's main summon the Soul Bound Doll who, when nothing else is summoned, is always active. When another summon is cast, she proceeds to turn to a lifeless doll. If she is rolled and the doll has received previous damage, she is fully healed of injuries and ailments.
~Trap Master of the Arcane~
Weyjeil Houjo, Never being able to exceed in his ability to cast higher tier spells, has the ability to create traps and dangerous simple devices imbuing arcane symbols and using materials in his area. Although magic helps him in the speed of it, traps still take time to construct. The more complex and stronger of a magical ignition, the more time needed. Necessities are required for certain designs.
Example: A rope trap can not be made without a rope.
