-----------------
Personality Evaluation[/color]
Drake is very hardened by the society in which he's grown up, and has become a master of concealment- both in terms of the items he "acquires" and of his emotions and disposition. Trying to figure the youth out is like trying to play poker: only one with experience in the game of the mind is capable of even hoping to break through and call the truth. This young rogue speaks little, believing that most things can be communicated through simple gestures.
As a result, Drake has become solitary and over-analytical, trusting few and mingling with fewer still. As a result of his lifestyle, he's developed OCD, causing him to repeat ritualistic behaviors simply to achieve peace of mind so that he can sleep. Thanks to this disorder, Drake has never been able to maintain a relationship, or even many friendships for that matter. Having people around generally means that they mess with your things, and if anything is out of place or interferes with the thief's patterns, he goes into a panic.
As if that weren't bad enough, Drake suffers uncontrollable visions in his mind, always of the things he fears the most- usually events past. They just play over and over again, driving him just short of madness. However, he's recently run into a 'source' who provides the proper medication to treat these symptoms... for a fee.
Despite these issues and his chosen lifestyle, however, the youth is a very gentle young man, and takes no pleasure in harming others. The only reason he even carries a weapon is for empty threats and self defense. He'll do everything he can to avoid a conflict, playing mind games in an attempt at persuasion. Should that fail, however, he will do what he has to. He doesn't hesitate to aid others unless it directly impedes his own agenda.
Quirks and Habits![/color]
When getting ready to sleep, Drake has to close and lock all doors, windows, and closets.
When in the midst of conversation, he has a tendency to pick at his fingers.
He must always wear green in some form, as he believes it to be good luck.
Family[/color]
All of Drake's family is alive and well, but he wants nothing to do with them. In particular note is his computer-wiz brother, Caius.
-----------------
Fighting Experience[/color]
Drake has very little fighting experience, but has been in a few on-the-run scuffles. He managed to snag an antique sword that he uses with relative ease, but he prefers a small knife, slim enough to slide into keyholes or between ribs, whatever the case may be. Still, he would likely be no match for most trained fighters. Drake is more inclined to making swift, stunning blows so that he can flee.
General Appearance[/color]
Drake typically wears one of many green t-shirts or hoodies and either blue jeans or lengthy shorts, whichever the weather calls for. At night or when seeking an objective, he dons some leather gloves and boots in addition to a long green jacket and tan pants.
Weapons and Possessions[/color]
A stolen antique sword, a short, slender knife, and an amulet with a picture of Drake and Caius together when they were growing up.
