About Diorio

Description/Background: Diorio is a tall, lanky young man with a shock of unruly black hair and brooding eyes. He walks around with an unconcerned, awkward loping gait but when pressed for action he suddenly moves with lightning speed and deadly grace. He used to be a boisterous, carefree prankster quick with a smile and jest, but is now a melancholy emo consumed with thoughts of loss and vengeance. He has fled Absalom after being framed for the murder of his father figure mentor, fencing Maestro Fradaelli, whose daughter he also loves and has now lost as she believes (mostly) the evidence presented by Diorio's rival and real murderer.
Diorio has fled to Osirion for two reasons: 1) He has heard the news that the Ruby Prince has opened up Wati's ancient places for exploration, and he hopes to find the means for one day returning to Absalom to extract the truth and vengeance. 2) Ever since he was a child, he has heard many tales of how his great, great grandmother once outwitted an ancient Osirion curse, turning a mummy's bane into the source of the family's luck. Diorio feels like he must have done something to find himself now cursed and is desparate to recapture the familial luck and restore his honor.

Description

This +1 rapier, with its slender and etched blade, is a testament to the art of combat as a dance. Once per day, when an opponent targets the wielder with a melee attack, the wielder may perform a graceful, dance-like 5-foot step as an immediate action, so long as they remain within that opponent’s threatened area. This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity and provides the wielder with a +1 dodge bonus to AC vs that attack. Additionally, if the attack misses, the wielder gains a +2 circumstance bonus on their next attack against that opponent before the end of their turn. After taking this step, the wielder cannot take a 5-foot step during their next turn. If they take an action to move during their next turn, subtract 5 feet from the total movement.Rapier of the Agile Dance
