Art (Chalia-426)

Art is a player character in the Dark Defenders campaign and is played by Max. He is a Tiefling Rogue with a Lawful Good alignment.

Personality
Art is fairly outgoing, friendly even in battle, which he treats as a stage performance. Rarely does he get angry, if at all. The emotion of rage seems to be nonexistent with him or he's just that adept at masking it.

History
Born and raised in the town of Ferna. Discovered much to his delight that he had the spark (gift of magic) and used it for harmless mischief, earning him a reputation as a prankster. A traveling drow happened to catch him in the act of one of his pranks and decided to help him refine his ability, which required little instruction on her part as Art seemed to be naturally gifted with magic. Seeing he also had a knack for being quite the sneak, she taught him the finer points of skulduggery while also helping him refine his natural charm and likability, which again, required little input from her. Tragedy would strike in the following years when a Lich brought a plague upon the town, eventually turning the populace into undead. Art and his instructor managed to kill the lich, who foolishly carried his Phylactery on him out of hubris. Unfortunately, the damage was done. Art and his mentor were forced to not only kill each and every citizen but to raze the town as well. For a while, they would travel together before going their separate ways. Art would then happen upon a caravan of traveling performers shortly after, picking up theatrical skills before striking out on his own.
