Character name: Darius Kass aka Jack

Origin: Exact point of origin unknown. Has spent the last several years working jobs in Cartwell.

Gender: Male

Age: 35

Occupation: Freelancer.

Personality: Darius is level headed and retains a high level of critical thinking under any condition. However, his behavior and actions are somewhat devoid of emotions, leading some to believe he is a uncaring and cold hearted killer. A reputation he has done little to dissuade.

History: Despite any rumors to the contrary, there are no records of any kind that make any mention of a Darius Kass prior to ten years ago. The few that have uncovered this hard to find fact have accurately deduced that Darius Kass is a recent identity. And even then, there is very little information available on Darius Kass, with most it coming from attempted investigations or intelligence gathering missions. An exact point of origin has never been put to him, and the best that has been deduced is that he once lived in a village in the territory of Fae. The village in question however no longer exists, having been razed some eleven years ago, in one of the many infamous purges. For the last six years, Darius has been working various jobs in Cartwell for anyone willing to pay a premium. More often than not his employers have been of the less than legitimate variety, including smugglers, criminals, and even information dealers. He’s excelled at courier missions, negotiations, espionage, and even assassinations.
When it comes to his associates, they are few and far between. There are really only two kinds of people when it comes to Darius Kass. Those that have heard of him, and those that think they know him. It is believed that Darius is loyal to whomever pays the most, and thus those that employ him have always paid above average rates. It is also believed that he has no end goal other than the accumulation of wealth. This is also a mistake, though Darius has never said otherwise. At this time, certain aspects of his intentions over the last several years are coming ready for fruition.

Powers (If any): Perception Manipulation. Whether it is an inborn talent or learned skill is known only to Darius. With this ability he is able to distort or fool the perceptions of observers, including sight, sound, hearing and touch (Presumably he could affect taste as well, though he has never bothered trying). The range is somewhat limited, the furthest he has managed is barely fifty feet. He can subvert all the perceptions of one person completely and reliably. A group of two to five people is more challenging, and he can only affect one or two senses reliably. For groups up to ten, Darius can only affect a single sense, and even this becomes shaky if done for too long. In large groups Darius falls back to a much more passive ability, by altering the perception he gives off. This makes him appear very plain and nondescript, and observers are likely to look right past him and not register it, even if he’s the only other person in the room.
Even when done completely and reliably, the actual influence of senses is somewhat minor. Sounds can be only relatively simple creations, or the absence of such. Voice mimicry is not possible. Touch sensations can only affect textures, but can simulate a variety of such feelings. And images seen can be masked with color and depth, but can only be shifted eight to twelve inches from their actual location. Though in a combat situation, having your opponents aim off by a foot can be an extreme advantage. All These minor abilities combined however, can create uncanny illusions.

Strengths: Darius displays military level combat training, as well as skills and learning obtained from years of higher education. Both of which he speak s little to nothing about with anyone. What is known is that he is uncannily good with long range rifles (he prefers his Walther WA2000), as well as light melee weapons. If he must close with an opponent, he will use either his knives, or his paired tonfa (if less than lethal force needs to be an option). In non-combat situations, Darius is quite skilled at interrogation and intimidation techniques.

Weaknesses: [TL biggrin R version = Emotionally unstable under high stress] What some consider weaknesses, Darius considers trivial matters. First and foremost, is that his attitude is extremely off putting, as anyone interacting with him quickly and bluntly realizes he cares little for anyone else. This makes dealing with the average person very difficult, or least very awkward. Additionally, though known to very few people indeed, is that Darius suffers from chronic depression (source unknown to anyone but Darius), and is prone to panic attacks follow extended periods of high levels of stress. Darius can usually keep this inconvenience under control for two or three days, but after this, an episode is imminent. Following such a panic attack, Darius feels lethargic and exhausted and is almost useless for anything except maybe defending himself. After a panic attack, Darius is also at higher risk of slipping into one of his deeper depressive fugues.

Appearance: At a muscled 5’9”, with short cropped black hair and brown eyes, Darius’s physical appearance would be considered average and forgettable. Something that Darius welcomes and takes advantage of on a regular basis. His body structure is very chiseled, telling the tale of his very physical past. His skin is slightly tanned from long times spent out of doors, and his complexion is average as well, except for single thin scar across his left cheek, slanting away from his eye to under his ear.
When on an operation or mission, he will wear whatever is needed to best blend into the social environment he is going into. Whether it be a tattered rags or the latest fashions. For a known or impending tactical situation, Darius will come prepared with a light armor combat suit, along with his preferred weaponry. On an average day, as rare as they may be, Darius typically dresses in comfortable and casual clothing. Mostly consisting of polo shirts or T-shirts, and either denim jeans or khaki pants.

Extra: Walther wa2000, Typical Pistol, Typical combat knife, Tonfa
