The Mask
Name: Jarren Black
Age: 21
Place of birth: Corus
Gender: Male
Home: Corus
Position: The Rogue (The King of Thieves)
Cannon or original: Original
Face claim: Unknown model
Appearance: Jarren has tanned skin that comes from spending long periods of time outside. He has short jet black hair. His dark chocolate eyes are deep, worldly, knowing the cruelties that the world holds. His nose is strong, and could be considered a bit too large for his face, but it fits. His left ear is peirced and is graced with a small hoop. His arms are littered with small scars that he got on his way to the top.
He stands at 6'3", tending to stand with better posture than most other commoners, having a 'noble air' about him. He is well muscled.
Personality: Jarren tens to be fairly serious, and not one to accept failures. Being The Rogue has made him lose lots of his funloving, though when he's with his few close friends he can still relax. He knows when it is an appropriate time to show his temper and when it is best to let things cool. When he does get angry he has a fiery temper. On an average day though, he is much more relaxed and willing to take a joke.
When Jarren is working he's able to 'turn off' some of his emotions, ignoring feelings that could turn the job sour.
History: Jarren was born in Corus to a poor family. His mother worked at a stall in the marketplace and his father worked as a stable hand in the Dancing Dove. Jarren spent most of his childhood running messages and errands for those who would give him a few coins.
It was doing this that he had his first run in with the Rogue. His father, who knew what took place in the Dove, had forbidden Jarren to enter until he was older, at least twelve. However, one of the messages', that he was being paid to deliver, recipients was in the Dove, apparently drinking, even though it was barely noon. So he snuck into the Dove, praying to whatever gods were listening that his father, or one of his father's friends, didn't see him.
Inside the Dove he found that it wasn't at all what he had thought it would be like and he liked it! When he was delivering the oral message, he was rudely bumped into by a man that was large, not well built or buff, just large. The bump sent him flying to the floor. The man continued on his way. Another who had been standing off to the side line got into fatties face and sent him packing out the door. With a small smile the saviour, who was a young man who seemed to be around 20, helped Jarren up off of the floor. It was only later that Jarren learned that that had been the King of the Rogue. That was a changing point in his life. No longer did he see thieves and rogues as people to be feared, but people who feared nothing.
When he was old enough, he joined the Rogue. He made his way up in the ranks to being close to the King. During this time, he saw many of the inhuman ways that nobles treated the commoners. While he knew that not all were that way, the few that were, spoiled a large amoun sense of kinship or kindness he may have had for nobles.
When the Rogue decided that it was time for him to step down and live a comfortable life with his wife, he allowed Jarren to take his place. While Jarren didn't have to fight to become the Rogue, he certainly had fought fights that equiled it, and that was enough for most of the other rogues.
