Constancy
I've spent damn near fifty years trying to forget this place and that asshole who claims to be my father. And every time I think I get far enough away to make a normal life, some hellish bitch appears and lures me back in with threats or promises or fuckall. Take my advice. Never bet on an inside straight, never kiss a girl who's got a tan line on her ring finger, and never, ever, let some good looking bimbo from Arcadia rope you into a quest.
Name: Constancy
Titles: None he cares for.
Rules: Nothing.
Height: 5'10". Weight: 167 lbs.
Hair color: Dark blond. Eye color: Bright blue.
Distinguishing marks: Lots of scars. The Jester's mark, the smoking skull in the cap and bells, on his left arm, below which are the words: Constancy 9-03-72.
Appearance: Despite, or perhaps somewhat because of his scars and his oft-broken nose, Constancy is quite attractive. Women are often strangely drawn to his unruly hair, his crooked smile and his devil-may-care attitude. He usually wears jeans, boots and comfortable shirts of whatever color he happens to pick up that morning. He always wears his guns, his knives and his crossbow, regardless of whether they will all function where he is.
Colors: Blue and gray.
Symbol: A gray or silver pistol on a field of blue.
Personality: Constancy has three different sides to him. Not a multiple personality, like his father, just very distinctly different attitudes and methods depending on his goals and who he is interacting with. Most of the time, he is friendly, out-going, smart, funny and seems to want nothing more serious than to drink, gamble and maybe get laid by the end of the evening if the girl is horny too. Professionally, he's one of the best assassins in the universe and he knows it, and he's calculating, patient and dependable. In terms of the Council, and especially anyone with connections to the Jester, Con can turn cold and even downright nasty.
Parentage: The Jester and Helena Moorefield.
Age: 46.
Known siblings: There are hundreds, but he knows of none specifically at this time.
Known children: None.
Known agents: None.
Recruited by: Faith.
Thumbnail History: Constancy was one of the unfortunate children of the Jester that Arayen did not find out about until after he had a chance to experience twelve years of his father's moods. His mother, Helena, died as a result of a game the Jester forced her to play. Constancy survived all of his games and the occasional physical abuse. What made it the worst, he later confessed to Melchior, were the moments when the Jester was charming and gentle and when Funland was actually a child's paradise. The worst part was not knowing when the next moment of horror would come.
His resentment and hatred of the Jester eventually led to these moments becoming more and more frequent, and at the age of twelve he ran away. It was a hard transition, but eventually he made it through the smallest edge of Draconis to Elysia. There he spent three years with Melchior but never felt as if he really fit in.
At fifteen he took off again, this time planning on leaving the City. Adventures ensued, and he met all of the Council except for Arayen and Tamora.
Eventually, at twenty, he made it out of the City and vowed he would never return. He made a living as many different things, most notably as a contractor and an assassin. And about every ten years there would be an overture from a Council member asking him to return to the City to do work for them. The first time he refused. This last time, he wasn't given much of a choice.
Constancy as Parent: He doesn't know of any children, and therefore any of his children would have been raised by their mothers. Once he discovered he had a child, he would be a very confused father, but one who tried very hard. He would spend a lot of time trying to get to know his kid, to explain to them why he wasn't there, and that from that moment on he would be. And he would. He wouldn't spoil his kid and he doesn't take crap from anyone, but he would be very affectionate, very supportive and a lot of fun to be around.
Constancy as Employer: Constancy is freelance, and he works alone. He has no agents.
Constancy as Friend: It's a lot of fun to be around Constancy almost all the time. He is a nice guy and a party animal. His friends have someone they can depend on at any time, be it to save their lives, to lend them some cash to pay the bills, or to hold their head over the toilet if they get really sick. He doesn't expect to be betrayed by his friends, so if it happens his retaliation is immediate and complete, though not necessarily violent. Often he just refuses to ever see or speak to that person again.
Constancy Romantically: Generally, Constancy's approach to romance is to pick up women in bars, take them to hotels for one night stands, cook for them or buy them breakfast in the morning, and then rarely ever see them again. He has had more serious relationships, but nothing that lasted more than six months. His job often requires him to travel at short notice and puts him into dangerous situations he can't talk about. Most of the time, his girlfriends get sick of not knowing what is happening in his life.
