Look Into the Mirror
Alias(es): Sora
Real Name: Unknown
Age: Appears to be mid to late teens, Actually 25
Concept: Buyer in seller in all things
Mask: Sora appears to be only mid- to possibly late-teens, but his features are fully and perfectly developed. In fact, each line and angle seems perfectly sculpted, and even his hair seems to fall perfectly, a few locks perpetually finding their way in front of his bright green eyes.
Mein: Sora’s features become even more sharply perfect, although his eyes are no longer green. Instead, they are completely white, like two perfect pearls. The lingering warmth of a spring evening seems to hang around him, as does the faint smell of flowers. However, as warm and inviting as his aura may appear, the boy himself seems strikingly cool, and one wonders how deep the warmth and beauty truly go.
Mechanics: Spring Mantle x2, Striking Looks x4
Titles: Pending

Sink Deeper Into Memories
Just a Pale Reflection
Basic Timeline:
1982: Born in Kent, CT and leaves a fairly normal and quiet life
1993: Sora's sister is diagnosed with leukemia, and medical treatments are unable to cure her, although they are able to prevent her from dying for a short time.
1996: Arrives in Arcadia, although the details of how he got there are unknown. He maintains that he walked in himself in search of a cure for his sister. He strikes up a deal with the Fae, although the details of that deal are not known except to him and his Keeper, and all attempts at asking are met with the same answer: "I can't say."
During his time in Arcadia, Sora was taught the arts of magic as well as Arcadian history by various Fae. In return, he helped keep the other captives in line. To those he was forced to punish, he came off as very cool, although he was by no means cruel or unfair.
2004: Sora returns to the real world, maintaining that he was allowed to leave, although there is no one to confirm or deny that story. Upon returning, he is unable to locate his family and so sets off to create a new life.
2005: Joins the Satrapy
Current Activities:
Sora has set himself up as a wanderer, dealing in the trade of all things, from objects to desires to things not even describable. How he gets them is anyone's guess. . .
Associations
Satrapy of Pearls (Pending approval)
The Rolodex
Vicky Sage - A successful barterer of goods, but you can't barter unless you have something to deal with. And that's where Sora comes in.
Clara - Whether she needs an escort or an extra hand, Sora is always there
Stephen Daedalus - Sora has Stephen on retainer for various tasks...but sometimes when Sora calls, Stephen is "on another assignment" as the details start being revealed. Why does Sora tolerate it? Probably because when Stephen IS available for the job, it goes off without a hitch.
Vestigere - Sora always knows he can call on Vestigere when something needs to be done that might make other people a bit squirmish. They seem to have known each other from Arcadia, although what their connection is has never been fully exposed.

My World in My Own Words
"I never take a contract I cannot fulfill, but I also never take a contract I won't fulfill. However, if things go wrong, the question you have to ask yourself is, what are you willing to do to see things get done? And the answer is that the contract is the only thing that matters." -Speaking to an employee about his business philosophy
"Why is the contract so sacred? Why not ask the rain why it is wet. It is sacred by its very nature. And that's why we never violate it. But that's also why we don't enter into it lightly." -Speaking to an employee on his business philosophy
"I did what I had to do to survive, just as we all did. I do not question you on the choices you made during your time of captivity. Do not question me on mine." -On serving the Gentry
"I paid dearly for every single contract I know, a price far greater than you might realize." -On Magic
Speak Your Mind
Quotes about Sora by others. Feel free to add your own.
- The very first principle I taught him was to council his thoughts. It was when he councilled me on mine that I gave him due consideration for his station. - Valentine
- I did not bleed on the outside. That he was an extension of the Hands that Reach and the Eyes that See is the only reason I will not seek to balance the scales. I remember the memory was returned. - Xeranthemum Annuum
- "Once upon a time, there was a wounded young falcon, shown kindness by a boy who sat complacently beside the falcon's abusers. Confused as he was, the falcon knew the boy to be the weaker of the two of them, taking the path of least resistance, and knowing that one day, the boy's time would come to be abused. When that day came, the falcon was there, and he showed the boy a kindness in return, keeping him from harm and showing him the way to find himself." - Thorn
Whispers in the Halls at Night
Sora is not his real name, although he claims no other
He has never lied, nor has he reneged on any business deal
They say that if there's anything you need...no matter how odd...Sora can get it for you. It's just the price that you'll have to worry about.
Suffers from insomnia due to the seizures caused by the trampling of dreamselves from hundreds wrongfully punished changelings marching over him again...and again...and again.
There was a clerical error. Sora was supposed to be fashioned into a bogeyman. Vestigere was supposed to be the assistant to the Keeper. Somehow, things were horribly switched.
A band of changelings escaped the Hedge in June of 2007. They are hunting Sora for revenge. They were last seen crossing the state line into Connecticut three days ago.
Connections Wanted
Changelings formerly under his “care” in Arcadia
Changelings resentful of his former position
Changeling employers in need of a student of magic and faerie
Potential outsourcers (as in, Sora hiring you for a job)
Anything else (Cause ties rock)
