Nationality: Regintine (Port Kwansou)

Played by: Allison

Appearance: Apart from a missing right eye and partially-bitten left ear, Felix's overall appearance lacks . Felix is a short, lightly-toned man with tanned skin and medium-length, messy black hair. His naturally distinguishing features are (or, rather, were) his two icy blue eyes, a trait passed down from his father. His stocky, square features, jawline etched with stubble and coy smirk can best be described as “roguishly handsome.”

When on the job, Felix wears a simple white, long-sleeved shirt, a brown leather vest above it with matching leather knee-length boots and a pair of brown pants. The bottoms of his pants pockets are slitted for easy access to his blades, which are sheathed against his legs under his clothes. To hide his identity, he wears a red linen bandana, covering much of the bottom half of his face.

When not on the job, Felix wears more or less the same, sans bandana. His outfits, however, are subject to change.

Background: Felix was born a bastard child in Port Kwansou, Regintine, and remained there much of his young life with his mother. His childhood was marked by constant poverty, street gang warfare and petty theft to keep food on the table. His crimes started out small – simply pickpocketing passersby or grabbing food from vendors while they weren't looking. But as he matured, his crimes grew in intensity to aggravated assault and other such violent acts. Because there was such little law enforcement in Kwansou, much of his crimes went unpunished and very rarely was he caught.

Several tumbles with opposing gangs resulted in the loss of his right eye and part of his left ear.

A turning point in Felix's life came when his mother died at the hands of an unknown assailant when he was only nineteen years old. The murder occurred as a result of a debunked robbery attempt; finding nothing of value to snatch, the robber-turned-murderer exercised his frustration on Felix's mother, beating her and leaving her to die of hemorrhaging. Now, without anything left for him, Felix left Port Kwansou, hopping the next boat to the mainland.

Within a matter of months, Felix reached Chaldea. There, he tried to establish a more wholesome life for himself in Chaldea City, taking up odd jobs wherever he could find them. He quickly found an honest working life to be poorly paid compared to his previous “positions.” Years of earning a steady income “the old fashioned way” had also left him bored of the simpler, working-class life. So, after long enough of struggling with work hours, deadlines and minimal pay, he began traveling up and down the Dawn and Twilight rivers, stealing from either the merchants crossing them or the farmers between them.

Despite Chaldea's militant and nationalistic populace, much of Felix's crimes went undetected ... for awhile. His presence was felt particularly in the farming community, which was not only plagued with stolen fruit, but also with their daughter's stolen hearts. Clearly, something had to be done. Chaldean officials began searching for him, keeping a sharp eye for farmers experiencing low crop yields. As more and more heat weighed down on Felix's shoulders, making a living there was becoming too hazardous. To evade arrest, Felix fled Chaldea.

Felix's new destination was the Cayes Grasslands. As he wandered aimlessly across the vast expanse of open fields, he soon found his niche: subduing random passersby and ransacking whatever supplies they had on them with startling efficiency. While ordinarily equipped with a tanto-reminiscent blade, he has an unnamed unfortunate traveler during his early years to thank for his second blade, a stiletto.

Felix very rarely resorts to murdering his victims. However, on occasion, a particularly resilient traveler simply refuses to be “persuaded." One of these fought back valiantly, harnessing the powers of his fire rune to try and ward Felix off. In the end, however, he fell to Felix's blade just the same. His rune, previously attached to his left hand, became embedded in his assailant's. Felix immediately recognized the potential this rune had for aiding his theft. While even now he continues to accidentally set bush fires, his power over the rune has grown strong enough now that he can conjure small flames and propel them from the palm of his rune-bearing hand.

Felix's amateur days in the Cayes Grasslands are long gone. Now, at age twenty seven, Felix continues traveling Iesra, going wherever the wind blows him next – or wherever he's not being hunted. He can often be found stalking travel routes for unsuspecting victims or, where it's safe to, drinking heavily in small-town bars and “sampling” the local “flavor.”

Personality: Three good words to describe Felix are slimy, deceptive and manipulative. He employs his charm, sharp wit and uncanny ability to read into the emotions of others to manipulate them to do his bidding, though more often than not his attempts to sway others usually land him in hot water.

Felix's “go with the flow” attitude and impulsive behavior make him seem incapable of planning or commitment ... which is mostly true. On occasion there's a method to his madness, but don't count on it.

Felix isn't difficult to please. His favorite pastimes include sex, sleeping in late, overindulging himself in cheap beer, sex, corrupting impressionable young minds, flirting ... did I mention sex?

His dislikes, while few, are very pronounced: children, most animals, warm beer and “the establishment.”

While at first he may seem easygoing, even patient, don't be fooled. Felix is a ticking time bomb. His temper, while not easily set, is definitely a force to be reckoned with.

Wielded Weapons: Two small daggers, both latched against his leg underneath his clothes. His pockets are cut at the bottom to allow for easy unsheathing of both knives while still keeping them concealed. The knife on his left leg resembles a stiletto, used to quickly end any skirmish with a deep, penetrating stab. The knife on his right leg, accessible quickly with his proficient hand, resembles a tanto, used to subdue enemies with slashes and cuts.

Runes: A fire rune, implanted into his left hand.
