I have this boy from a shop that was called Yggdrasil but I never got a chance to develop or RP him at all. The shop quickly died before I could. I'm aware that his eyes will have to change colors and possibly his clothing would have to alter, but I do want him down the path of some kind of mage.

Name: Klaas
Race: Oban
Gender: Boy
3 Base Traits: Foolhardy, quick study, rough around the edges
Personality:
Klaas is a brash individual. Thinking before he acts isn't exactly his strong suit. Usually he goes into battle guns blazing. Shoot first, ask second. He goes with his gut instinct and consequences be damned. Of course this gets him in way more trouble than it's worth most of the time, but with his head strong nature, it's just how it is. Change is never easy for Klaas, and probably never will be easy.
He's naturally a quick study. He sees something once or twice and can usually mimic it in a way that won't get him hurt. With just a few more tries he has it down pat. Such as a bit of parkour. He learned how to tuck when he lands without breaking a leg, simply from watching some hooligans use it in a town he visited once. Being brash means you have to be able to pick up on certain things, otherwise you'll end up hurting yourself or someone else worse.
Klaas, in general, is your typical rough guy. At least at first. He seems like a thug of types with his speech patterns and the way he carries himself. Even when his expression is neutral it's more along the lines of 'resting b***h face'. But as you get to know him, Klaas is a very sweet individual. He cares deeply for friends and wants to quickly make them. He likes to goof off and joke around, even if his tone makes it hard for others to pick up on it right away.
Description: See ref (Open to changes)
Clothing: See ref (CC if needed, Open to changes)
Accessories: A white mask over half his face, a ring on his finger, ear caps are all a must.
History:
Klaas was born like a normal Oban to a mother and a father. His parents are still alive to this day. His mother is very strict and over protective while his father is more along the 'kids have to make mistakes to learn' type. He didn't grow up with consistent discipline and as a result Klaas has some issues with his temper and thinking he can get away with things.
When he was about six or seven, his father was watching him while his mother was staying at her sister's house after she'd just had a baby. During this time Klaas got a bit too close to the smoldering fire that the family had going every night and ended up tripping over a rock and falling in, resulting in half of his face being badly burned.
Since then he's been wearing a mask that changes over the years and it's gotten to this white, almost monster like appearance now that he thinks is helping him intimidate the monsters in the world. Of course he knows it intimidates people as well.
After Klaas's accident, his parents at first kept him hidden from sight. They got asked questions and ridiculed for not being careful enough when they answered honestly. So they would put a cloak over him, too big so it hung in his face and just pulled him along by his hand. Sometimes they hid him within the wagon if they were going into town to buy supplies.
When they got his skin healed up enough for him to wear a mask, Klaas took it a bit hard at first. He hated the mask, didn't understand why he even had to wear it. He was sure if he explained to anyone who stared that they wouldn't stare anymore. Of course this wasn't the way things turned out. Some of the children he tried to befriend were cruel to him, called him names or just flat out told him he was too ugly. So he hid behind his mask for a long time. He let the mask become his identity. He still didn't make many friends because he turned from this boisterous young boy into this shell of a child who was so desperate for friends but too worried about getting hurt.
As he and his parents came across a small settlement as they traveled, a little girl about his age, ten or eleven, saw him sitting by himself one day and came up to talk with him. She asked about his face and Klaas just explained to her what had happened. After she took in the information she asked him to play with her.
That was another turning point of his life. Klaas realized he could make friends, even with a mask over his face. From there he blossomed into this young man who wants to take the world by storm and show that outward appearance means diddly if you're got yourself a good personality.

Hey there <3 A couple of questions to get started. You say his mother is overprotective and she was away when the accident happened. Does she blame the father for it? Was there arguing? And if there was, how did it effect Klaas? Were there lingering effects, like the parents relationship was strained after the incident? Does he ever not wear his mask now that he had grown older? being a prentice now, he must have been alive during the war. How did that change his thoughts or his way of life? (just a little blurb, like did he have slaves, is he bitter, does he dislike non-Obans, etc)

There was some arguing over it, yes. She did blame his father, and he tossed the blame at her leaving and it was a back and forth thing. Klaas didn't handle it to well; there were some mild panic attacks where he thought one was going to leave the other. It led to nightmares about it and he eventually had to tell them what he was dreaming of. After apologies he never heard or saw them arguing, though he suspects they still do. Every year around the time the incident happened it's a bit strained, but ulitmately his parents love each other and stayed together. The only time he doesn't wear his mask is if he is sweating too much and needs to cool the skin down or if he's bathing. While he embraces his scaring and what happened to him, he realized not everyone is comfortable looking at deformities (because some people are so shallow. :B) As for the war; his thoughts on it... He was never too comfortable with slaves in general. He saw them a lot, he grew up around people who owned them and it just made him feel awkward. Forcing someone into a role never sat right for Klaas. So he's kind of relieved that slavery is outlawed now, but at the same time it is turning his world around and forcing people to do more things for themselves. He's still gathering his thoughts on everything, still taking it in one day at a time.

Sounds really good and he's all set to me then. I'll be able to officially approve him and get his journal set up tomorrow morning. <3
