Regular jack-of-quite-a-few-useless-trades, His only real talents are reading people, spotting the tiny details that creature strive to hide, and of course a natural talent for Acting.

Most prized possession in his collection

is his ring of regeneration which he was able to obtain after a rather unfortunate event concerning some Efreeti and Dao to this day He's not seen a stronger ring. Next to his ring comes a sword given to him by a close friend whose a part time swords-master.

A doppelganger from Ysgard? sounds outrageous enough to be a bards biography. Sure enough Sigil has one, doesn't tend to even hide it's race oddly enough. With a desire to please the crowd and be noticed Face has set out to claim kingdom for all shape-changer proving that they don't need to hide under the guise of another race anymore.

When not utilizing a bag of many tricks Face begins to show off his many forms, He's got a small arsenal of shapes each one for a different purpose, changing between them as a mage changes between types of spells or a fighter does weapons. Face will start human then disappear when you notice he's the kobold behind you it's likely to late because you'll find in the time it took you to miss with that last attack that kobold just grew into a dire tiger and pounced on you. Sure, your archers could help out but they'll learn it takes more then some arrows to pierce the hide of a gargoyle.

The Visuals

This dashing figure is always willing to lend a hand and laugh, wing-man to the world. Carries himself with his own style creating a class of his own. His emotions are usually carried to the extremes, after all enigma is for those who don't know how to disappear.

Those not drawn in by the light hearted personality, usually are attracted to the bright colored leathers or daring style of his outfits a rarity in Sigil where the national colors are red and black. He loves to accessorize with the finer things to the point of being declared Hedonistic or walking the fine line of social taste, all the while looking for ways to play hero.

Details

The devil is always in the details, Face besides being a man capable of producing more treasures from his shirt than most women, Has an unquenchable thirst for style and lavish goods such as magical rings amulets and apparently blue gemstones. It's also a little known fact that in most cases he'll add special twist to the shapes he takes improving upon the natural looks of the beast so if you find dashing swashbuckling Kobold you may have found Face.

The tale behind the pretty face

Shapechangers regardless of what sort they are, Doppelganger, Phasm, etc. Are forced to live in hiding among the other races because no one trusts a shapeshifter. No one understands this more than Face, as a doppelganger he faces the distrust of the other races not only for being a shapeshifter but also for being a mind reader. He believes that if the race was open about what they are they may learn to live symbiotically with the other races rather than parasitically, unfortunately his own kind didn't agree with him and cast him out Olidamara's dominion on Ysgard literally throwing him to the wolves of the Beastlands being stout fighter of the plane of heroes he knew how to fight well enough to survive until he was adopted by a clan of Lycans. Before he had only heard of the Lycan race through tales at the festival halls or the during the great reenactments of the tales the bards brought from abroad. The Lycans took him in as a rare friend seeing his natural gifts as a blessing to be envied while among the Lycan people his beliefs were further solidified as he noticed the Lycan were of all manner of different races each united by the “curse” but they seemed to welcome it rather then hide it. In the Lycan culture it made them not only closer to nature but gave them a totem to draw strength from, If the Lycans could use the ability to bolster belief in themselves he should be able to aswell, so Face began drawing more and more on his shapeshifting power learning new ways to use it in combat. As much as he wished to stay with his Lycan allies he understood that he was not one of them and his dreams of carving out a place for his kind to live in the open would never happen if he did not put any work forward so he bid his new allies farewell and made his way into Sigil from there he can find himself some help to tackle a dream as grand as the one he sees for his people.

The Adventures Continue!

He was the underdog of Ysgard, sneaking away from the homelands of his kin to the plains of Ida watching the great battles and even joining on a few himself. He was an actual Dog for sometime during his stay on the beastlands. On Sigil he's no more than a puppy, A resourceful swiss army puppy sure, but there is always someone out there who can do his job better so he's taken to doing things with style or doing things while looking amazing so while he may not be the best tool in the shed for the job he'll be the shiniest. During his stay he's had a streak of poor luck especially regarding genies, having found himself a prisoner and bound to service on more than one occasion he's slowly learning that being the Face means sometimes you have to grin and bare the shitty luck, because not all plans actually work.

The Associations

Seryn Hygarte - Proof that it doesn't take a hard head to join the harmonium and that not all mages are cunning tricky power...*coughs* best not say too much you never know whose watching...Anyway Seryn is the idle magic user in Face's mind he's got a great deal of respect for his own craft and toils with magics until they are as perfect as the swords he forges.

Salazar Tryce - The Huck Finn to Face's Tom Sawyer, the two usual have a great deal of tales to tell from various adventuring trips together. Mutual friendship forged in the karmic scales of misfortune.

Emille - Tasked as her guardian of sorts while Seryn was away, Face soon realized that it was she who was often times protecting him. Her name immediately brings to mind an image of a playful wasp darting about in a set of fantastic colors to rival even his own sense of style with one hell of a sting.

Axathirae Xesh'ulel-Eîa - Such Magnetism such guile such a great set of...horns! This woman is one of the few who has etched themselves forever into Face's mind and also a part of Mechanus if the purge didn't clean the stain of their encounter with an advanced Marut. While Saphire has won over a place in Face's core through intimidation The Lady Thirae has done so with her own unique charm and a smile with fangs that remind him of home.

Sapphire - As beautiful as gemstone, As rough as mountain, and more frightening than an avalanche. After a quick stare down at their first meeting the Ysgardian couldn't tell if he was frightened or in love. In any case best to win her over with Sapphires right? If nothing else those two stones you kept that reminded you of her eyes sure helped keep you sane in that Dao prison...Wait am I talking to myself in portion of the page I'm supposed to be speaking about...Sorry folks I'll quit rambling now.

Vior - Wise old greybeard whose not old at all? Hades did a number on this man but he knows way more about Sigil than Face. So he became one of the goto guys for information concerning his job hunt with the local factions.

Ally - Ally is the fire cracker, the fire genasi most would call tiefling, Shes got a loud personality to compliment face's own. Ironic how For someone who seems to run into all sorts of problems with genie he's got a liking for two women from the very same planes he was held prisoner on? Someone tell Stockholm He's got another case.

Hafasa The Many Named Djinn - Not many words can be said. But She has gotten Face killed twice and enslaved twice and those were different adventures! well sort of a connection between two of cases..but thats a tale best left for the Skalds, Bards, and Sal. In any-case Face won't be going out with this bundle of air without a multitude of protective layers. Hel likes company and Face sin't making any reservations with her by choice.
