About Ezra Thorne

Description:
Ezra is a tall, lanky man, who is often seen carrying around a few scrolls and perhaps a quill. He has brown hair and light brown eyes. His clothing style tends to be fashionable, he is a diplomat after all. He was recently beaten and attacked by unknown assailants, leaving his arms and hands badly burned, and his leg broken. He now walks around with a staff, and covers up his arms and hands with fines silk gloves and takes medication... but that does nothing to ease the pain.

Personality:
Ezra is an amiable man who generally likes to please people. He is always conscious about keeping orderly, and always keeps up with the latest fashions. He is always looking to make someone laugh, or get new contacts to share with his organization, The Aspis Consortium.

Character Traits:
Ezra is not one to tell a lie on a whim, only doing so when it is necessary to improve relationships with someone. Even then, he prefers to emulate Asmodeus, in that he tries not to lie, rather, simply doesn't tell the whole truth. Other than that, he is generally pleasant to be around.

Character Flaws:
Ezra is a bit gullible, something that he must work on. Sometimes he forgets that other charismatic people may not necessarily be after his best interests. For this reason, he likes to work with a partner when speaking with someone: he does the talking, while they listen out for any lies.

Allies:
The Aspis Consortium. He works as a diplomat for them and is a bronze tier member at this point in time. He is to travel to Tadloton and attempt to not only gain contact with the mercenary's guild and attempt to build a partnership with them, but he is to also speak with the mayor in hopes of gaining his support for the Consortium and their activities, perhaps also attempting to legitimize themselves in this new area. He was promised a cure for his injuries if he was successful, as well as retribution for his attack.

Enemies:
None thus far. He's never been in a situation in which he had been made to look bad. Though he is now searching for an answer as to his recent attack and brutalization.

How to play Ezra: Well assuming that I am not available, I will show you exactly how this character is meant to be played! This can be done in two easy steps:
1) Stay as far away from combat as possible, while still having room to cast command or murderous command. Remember, you only have a 20 foot movement speed so you want to be as far away as possible in case you have to run! Preferably you have as many allies in between you and the foe as possible.
2)Burning Hands is a very last resort. You are to run if things go bad, and if it is clear you can't lose the enemy, then try to look feeble and use diplomacy! Promise to work for the bad guys, or offer them money! If they make it clear they still want to kill you (or they have no interest in money... I'm looking at you undead/animals) then fight to the death. If you are going to die, then die on your feet.
