Current characters: N/A
IC Information
Name/Alias: Colin Keane
Age: 25
Occupation: Baker
Born with The Vice?: Yes
If yes, do they use it?: Yes
Appearance: Long dark hair and brown skin, has a hoop earring in the cartilage of his left ear. 5'10", looks fit and trim but slightly underfed. Demeanor is shy and stoic, and he doesn't typically talk much.
History: Born and raised in town as part of a large family. At the age of ten, he accidentally caused crocuses to grow and bloom in the middle of the winter. It was conspicuous, and there were numerous witnesses, so his oldest sister, Marina, acted like she was the one who did it. Rumor spread fast, and that night, someone set the family's house on fire. He survived because his parents insisted that he, being the youngest, be the first to be boosted out of a window. His next-oldest sister followed him, but the roof collapsed then and the rest of the family perished.
They were taken in by Emery as fosters. Still, afraid to trust in a seemingly secure future, Colin apprenticed to the town's baker while his sister, Camilla, sewed shirts for a living. He always made sure to project an air of innocence, though it wasn't easy to win the trust of the village after what happened. Camilla married someone outside the village at first opportunity, having found it too difficult to assimilate given her more combative nature and desire to defend her sister. Not even she knows it was Colin who bloomed the flowers, nor how since then he has discovered the entirely uncontrollable gift of empathy. It's a secret Colin intends to take to his grave.
Since then, he has been the humble village baker, having an utter lack of ambition except to cook good food, a skill passed down to him from his mother as well as the previous master baker.
Personality: Colin is mild-mannered and more prone to listening than talking. He is, however, a very active listener with a light hand at engaging people. It works well for him in business, but often abandons him whenever conversation gets personal. He loved to be around people once, and he longs to be more social than he is, but the incident from his childhood has given him a moderate degree of social anxiety. He hates his Vice, and won't use it for fear of being discovered.
He loves nature and beautiful or flavorful things. He is prone to being judgmental often and passive-aggressive if pressed, but loathes conflict and will almost always avoid it, whatever the cost.
Despite his mild manner and easy, gentle smile, he is quick-witted and extremely resourceful. Those who underestimate him based on his apparent fragility are bound to be surprised by his ability to adapt and endure. He survived first the fire, then the suspicions of the village who murdered his family. He has spent more than half his lifetime living with his anxiety issues and learning how to cope, while building a reputation and persona that will allow him to survive despite his Vice. It would be easy for people to see him as some sort of amateur in over his head.
He is no amateur.
Abilities: Magic: Empath, both passive and touch. Can grow flowers, apparently, but he's not sure how. Able to scry. All his abilities are stronger during rain or snow or near water. He's an excellent cook and baker and not a terrible artist.
Fully bilingual, thanks to his Aguilan mother, who taught him and his sisters.
Can read and write thanks to being raised partially by Emery.
Reputation: A quiet, sweet guy who had a single Profane sister who died when she was discovered and the family's house was set on fire. Seen every morning in the chapel, praying, though he doesn't tend to speak much about religion. Makes delicious food, lives above the bakery. He and another sister were fosterlings of Emery's family.
