We got fun 'n' games
We got everything you want
Honey we know the names

Whatever you may need
If you got the money honey

Character Name: Blank (that's his alias; given name is Marquin Evan'ture)
Common Aliases: Gregris Alero, Seindrel Rhaggerty, and Malekin Welsum
Series: Final Fantasy IX
Age: 23

Physical Description: 
Blank has naturally brown hair that he keeps dyed a cherry red, kind of shaggy and slightly longer than average. He commonly wears a wide headband low on his forehead, pushing the hair back some so that it almost sticks straight up. It almost makes his eyes seem non-existent at the right angles. His face is good-looking enough, classically oval-shaped with a similarly classic nose and lips that are on the thin side. His build is very lean, almost painfully so, and he stands at a pretty average height of 5'7". His posture is lanky and chill, causing him to actually look like he's leaning back a little when he's truly trying to stand straight. His movements are smooth and slick, almost too much so, and he seems to exude a mysterious, 'connected' aura.

Personality: 
A cynic at heart, Blank is a businessman that prides himself for his reputation within the underground, and can commonly be found boasting to that crowd that he can get his hands on absolutely anything a customer could ever want within two weeks' time at the most. It'll cost them, sure, but he's capable; his claim has not been found to be untrue yet, in all his dealings. The man is quiet yet observant, much preferring watching and listening to actually not talking. This not only earns him valuable information at times, but also prevents him from getting into more trouble than necessary. But with friends, people he knows and trusts (though he tends to be rather slow to trust), he can be much more vocal. He has never been one to raise his voice- and, in fact, is somewhat known for his calm demeanor- but his sharp, dry wit will commonly find its way into the conversation. He’s also surprisingly friendly, as he enjoys listening to people talk even if he doesn’t much, and also enjoys meeting new people and helping others just for the hell of it. As laidback and chill as he may seem, Blank cares very deeply for his friends and family and would do most anything for them. He’s also pretty emotional (without being emo, I promise!) and very quietly confident in himself. Blank also has a strange sort of charm, a charisma that makes him a good leader who comes across as very trusting despite the original sketchy impression that he often gives off.

Strengths: 
Not only does Blank have crazy connections, but he’s financially very well-off. He’s also confident and has a rather large yet entertaining sarcastic streak. His charisma is very high as well, which not only wins him many more customers than he would otherwise have, but friends as well. He’s somewhat famous in the underworld, and the reputation he occasionally brags about really does exist.
Weaknesses: 
Blank is quiet, and although he is a people person he doesn’t always seem like one. His sarcasm also tends to be a double-edged sword, offending people he didn’t mean to offend at times and estranging them when he’s merely trying to entertain them. Another very major drawback is that Blank must avoid law enforcers, as his business is the epitome of the black market. Practically everything he does is illegal in some way, and he must live in a state of constant cautiousness... just in case.

History: 
Blank grew up as a member of the Upper Class, and his parents always spoiled him with presents and such but, stereotypically, absolutely no actual attention. Not being particularly gifted in the world of sports like many kids yet having two or three times as much charisma, Blank labeled himself a 'lover, not a fighter' pretty early on, and became somewhat quiet in groups to avoid teasing. As he got older, he became more of a rebel- in the sense that he wouldn't listen to his parents or conform to social norms, it wasn't actually for his image at all. He would frequently get in fights with them, and occasionally even spend the night at a nearby hotel (or a girlfriend's house) when they pissed each other off too much.

One night when Blank was 17, and particularly pissed, he took everything in his room and left permanently. He didn't want anything to do with his parents anymore and knew that he didn't have enough money to support himself for long in the Upper Class Area and went to the lower class area. His first day he wandered around aimlessly, unsure of what to do, and met a man by the name of Varanus. Blank had planned on renting out a room in this one apartment building but the manager was away so Varanus agreed to let him stay the night. Blank was greatful, and the two decided that night while talking that they would actually be roommates- mostly due to the price of rent. Varanus was somewhat of a homophobe and didn't want anyone thinking anything sketchy about him, so the two agreed to keep that part secret.

The next day Blank was filling out a job application, and Varanus was watching him and advised that if he didn't want his parents finding him, he should make up a new name and go by that. Blank filled out the entire form except almost forgot to fill in a name at all (as he was saving that for last), and Varanus laughed at him and the nickname 'Blank' stuck. The boy DID make up an alias name for the form, Gregris, but the nickname Blank stuck.

Less than a week later, Varanus noticed some of the 'nicer' belongings that Blank had brought into the room and asked to buy one of them to give to his girlfriend for a present. Blank agreed, and it snowballed from there. His friends started coming to him for things, and even if he didn't have them, his good memory would kick into play and he'd be able to get it FOR them, or he knew a friend that could help him out... looking back, even Blank wondered how it all happened so fast and how he pulled all of it off, but within a year and a half Blank had made somewhat of a name for himself under his lovingly-given nickname Blank. Not to mention that the things he dealt in tended to be more much illegal and unsafe than jewelery. And his connections through old friends from the Upper Class even helped his dealings, often.

But it wasn't all perfect forever, it couldn't have been. Although Varanus acted like a father to Blank most of the time, he was very bull-headed and argumentative- not to mention, jealous. And as Blank's success increased and increased, so did the fighting between the roommates. Just as Blank name's grew big enough for the law to have caught a whiff of him, Varanus instigated a huge fight between the two and threatened to tell them Blank's real name (as he was the only one who knew it, really) and turn him in. Blank then panicked and shot Varanus with one of his owns guns before he had even realized what he had done. But since the two had never been openly roommates and he had no actual records with the law (fake name and all), he was pretty much off the hook law-wise and reputation-wise as soon as he left the building. This left him with trust issues, but not much of anything else.

As successful as someone of the Upper Class by now (yet still living in the Lower Class area), Blank has continued to serve people of both stations under that alias, buying himself the nicest Lower Class Apartment he could buy (again, under another fake name) and furnishing it with Upper Class things. In the underworld, his name is quite known. And for those who are too innocent to partake in any illegal dealings... they've probably heard the name whispered once or twice from the back of a shady bar.
