Personality: Rune is a very different...his personality differs, let me explain. Rune is a mimic, and illusionist who specializes in disguise.

In his normal state Rune is calm and logical, speaks very little and constantly observes.
Alignment: Neutral.
Political Alignment: Runes loyalty lies with himself, but if he were to choose somewhere he was most loyal too it would be Asrai because it was where he awoke, and his strong connection with Muses.

He is fluent in all of the majorly spoken languages in Nyxheim. Avarin, Eldarin, Noldorin, Sindarin and Sign Language. Rune is also studying Thyrsar “The Speech” he has made some progress, but it is quite difficult to master...so he proclaims.
Job/Class: He is an entertainer. He plays illusions for the public eye to enjoy, without revealing who he is, often disguised as other personas. Along with his illusions he is also a bard, playing a variety of instruments for coin.
Inventory:
- Al’Tories- This is Rune’s magnificent scimitar. With a bejeweled hilt and magnificently forged blade of Gungir crystals he is holding a blade worth millions. Rune can’t recall how he obtained this blade, it was with him when he awakened, all he knew was its name...Al’Tories.
- Scimitar- This is Rune’s second weapon, an average scimitar born of common steel of a common forge. This is the blade he most often uses in combat because he rarely needs to draw Al’Tories.
- Baol’Nyx- Baol’Nyx is a brilliantly crafted Mandolin. Its red in color and born of the finest red pine in all of Nyxheim. Rune travelled for many years obtaining the materials in its creation, and once he finished it he was truly in love. His music means the world to him and Baol’Nyx is his most prized possession.
Talents:
- Connection to the Muses and Dreaming: Rune is connected with nature and the dreaming itself. He can channel the power of the muses which they grant to him, he is a friend. The Dreaming is big in his life, he has a constant flow of dreams and can even see things, or so he believes. He doesn’t understand where this connection comes from but its very important to him.
- Musical Knowledge: Rune has always had a talent for music. He loves beats and lyrics, and it has always popped with who he is. His talent was almost instantaneous, picking up on how to play instruments. A talent he keeps to himself is his voice, he is a spectacular vocalist, but he doesn’t like to be heard, only by the Muses.
- Intelligence: Rune is very quick to learn. He pays such strict attention to everything that he develops keen understanding on whatever he is interested in much faster than others.
Skills:
- The Art of Eight Limbs: This fighting style uses stand-up striking along with various clinching techniques in its style. The Art of Eight Limbs is also referred to as the "Science of Eight Limbs" because it makes use of punches, kicks, elbows and knee strikes, thus using eight "points of contact", as opposed to "two points".]
- Sword Mastery (Locked): Rune has always had a fascination with combat, and for a brief point in his life he was a criminal. These criminals were adept in thievery and combat and taught Rune a thing or two. He became highly fascinated with swords, and excelled in combat with them. His colleagues became quickly afraid of his talent when he grew beyond their skills.
- Pickpocketing (Locked): While living as a thieve he learned how to pickpocket. It wasn’t something he was particularily great at though. He didn’t move swiftly when it came to stealing. He was heavy, made noise and always thought he had to work on his tip toes. He knows how to do things properly he just isn’t so great at it.
- Magick (Locked): Rune has the capability to perform magick. He awoke with the power to use this ability but it wasn’t until he met a particular mentor that he learned to harness it into a specialty, Manipulation Magick.
- Illusion Magick (Locked): Rune is a spectacular illusionist. He learned from a man, no, a legend. This legends name was unknown to the world but he was known by a name...The Tattered man. He wore a colorful array of cloth and garbs that helped with his illusions. He could manipulate the senses of others in all sorts of ways, he was magnificent, he could be anyone or anything. His race was unknown to Rune but the man was powerful. He had a clear connection with muses, a pure soul and he was the man to find Rune after he awakened. From the point of his eyes opening he was on the path to becoming one of the greatest illusionists to present themselves to the world.
- Independent Magick - Illusion (Sight): Illusions are a magic of deception, of bending what is with what might be and bringing something of dreams into the physical world. While powerful tools capable of powerful effects on the mind illusions are not truly a physical kind of magic. And while they may feel as real as the rest of the world they are no more than sensations called forth from the nothing.
