Give us a brief description of their life - their story, childhood, family (Include server lore when writing): - Ryland "The Hat" Vanuus, over his time in Anthos, has played many different roles. It is said that he has helped and hindered many heroes and villains during the years. At least, it would be, if anyone ever remembered who he was. The few reports of him have been short, and very vague. One man would say that he saw this man for a moment, and then he was gone. Another thought he saw him go past a column and just disappeared. Another claimed to have an hour long conversation with him, but forgot what they ever spoke of. A few witnesses state that they tried to approach him, but felt off balance, and faint nausia, and immediately left. Another claimed to have seen him at a table, with a deck of cards. He approached him, and was offered to have his fortune told. He remembers being dealed The Fool. After a brief pause to sneeze, the eyewitness stated that he found himself alone, with all his money gone. The cards were gone, except for the one he was dealt. He later inherited a large fortune. The only clear report of this man was with (NAME WITH-HELD), a known psychopath currently being held in a local village near Abresi for calming therapy. From what he told us, they met while he was tending to his serenity garden. "I don't remember much, but he wore some kinda over sized hat. I remember how the first minute I kept laughing at how damn big it was! But then something changed. Suddenly I didn't like laughin' at the man. There was somethin' about that feller, that was just scary, you know. He told me something about suicide or somethin' I swear I'd know what he said if I had a minute er' two. Besides, it's not my fault. There was this thing on that hat, that almost seemed to glow. It was just so bright! It was almost, er' what's the word...hypnotic! that's is, hypnotic! By the time I was finally able to concentrate on what he said, he'd left. It's like he was never there. But I say, I was kinda glad he left. He made me feel so strange." About a month later, (NAME WITH-HELD) was found dead, with a dagger in his hand, and his throat cut. Another example of a slightly more comprehensible event involving this man, is the case of (NAME WITH-HELD), a knight who had saved a burning town less then a year before. Though he rejected a direct interview, he still gave us a summary of what happened. We were told that our eye-witness met Ryland when he was in his barracks. Similarly to the last interview, our eye-witness said he only remembered Ryland's hat. He first tried to escort him out, fearing him to be a threat, but was struck by the sense, that his uninvited guest was more desirable then he previously believed. He described it as a quick transition between fear, and joy. He wanted to hear what he had to say. But then, after a few minutes, he realized that no matter what he tried, he couldn't actually hear what Ryland said.  He started sharpening his knife, but slipped, cutting his palm. suddenly, he could hear Ryland. He described his voice as smooth, but forceful.  Ryland was telling him that he was going to save a town from a fire, and that he would be remembered as a hero, just like he's supposed to. After a few minutes, he lost concentration, and could no longer comprehend his speech. Ryland was, just like in all cases, gone before the eye-witness realized what happened. By this account, it is theorized that Ryland uses strong magic to affect emotions, concentration, perception, thoughts, and balance. The following is a view of what really happens when one meets Ryland. Ryland hides his approach with his magic, and greets the target. He alters their mood, so that they do not try to leave. Ryland then causes the target to "zone out" as he gives him suggestions, depending on his belief that the target has to be influenced to do something to protect the balance, a common goal of a,"keeper of fate" as we believe he think he himself to be. He uses illusions to for whatever purpose, and keeps any witnesses at bay, with either the disorientation that was stated by one witness, or alters the perception of any nearby, to hide himself, the target, or both. as soon as his suggestions have been placed, he leaves before they have time to recover. It is advized that if seen, Ryland should not be approached, and should be reported to your local guard.

What are they like (personality)?: - His mood varies. When he is trying to influence a target, he is calm. He is easy to anger, and lashes out at anyone who "upsets the balance" by interrupting him. He is very excitable, and can e very giddy at times, when he feels that he has been doing "absolutely splendid" in his mission. He can be very mischievous, and when it is warranted, likes to cause trouble if it suits his purpose.

What are their ambitions?: - He believes himself to be(and just might be), a keeper of the balance. He goes to people, and influences them to do things for the sake of keeping this "balance". Instead of making waves to change things, he makes ripples, building up over time.

Do they have any special skills?: - He has been shown to use Mental Magic to influence people. He also uses Illusions for some encounters, but mostly to keep attention away from him.  i.e. Ryland speaks to his target, and simulates a wall, or other object to block them from view. He also uses Auramnacy,  a magic that is used to radiate effects of either a mental or physical nature. i.e. nausea, paranoia, fear, joy, heat, cold, . 

What are their weaknesses?: - Although his magic is strong, Ryland's grip on his targets mind can be easily broken, if the target realizes what is happening. With his Auramancy, he is limited by the range of the affect, generally around eight feet away from him. It can also be dispelled by strong minded individuals who can distinguish it with some thought.  Example: " I felt a chill as this strange man spoke to me, but the day was hot and humid. I realized that the man was fooling me. Immediately all traces of the feeling left me." Same with the trance. when the target realizes that his mind has been sent elsewhere, he can break out of said trance. To summarize, Ryland's powers are vast, but weak, easily being seen for what they are with a little thought. Not that it has stopped him (easily) before.
 

Give us a description of how they look (not a screenshot yet!)?: -  Ryland wears a robe that is a light shade of purple, with baby blue sigils on the front and back of the robe. He wears gloves of a dark brown material, with noticeable seams. The robe hangs in small tatters on his pants. His hat resembles a droopy version of the stereotypical wizard hat, but dark purple, with similar sigils as the ones on his robe on it, except darker.It is worn low, and shades his face to the point that one cannot make out any detail. The top hangs down his back, almost reaching his waist. On the end of it, is a golden star that glows with an unexplainable elegance, that couldn't possibly be the reflection of the sun. His pants are a light shade of blue. He wears brown shoes, with dark soles. His face as previously stated, is shaded, but his eyes can be seen. They are a bright yellow, with no discernible pupils, irises, or even a cornea. 
 

Anything else you want to say about them?: -  He was partially inspired by ViVi, from Final Fantasy IX. I will make some lore for the Auramancy soon.

Please give us a screenshot of your character's skin: Having problems with computer, so I uploaded the skin to skincraft. It's named heartless sorcerer. I apologize for the inconvenience.
