Theres nobody better than me, so if you want the bestchuckle well, you know my price. Set It Off - Wolf in Sheep's Clothing Name Augustus H. Cloverson, August for short. Known as Nightshade to Clients and others of the criminal underground Species Human Age 37 Powers Its not necessarily a power, but he does have quite the affinity with plants that its almost supernatural. Also not a power, but hes made himself immune to his own poisons. At least, theyre not actual powers unless the story allows supernatural elements. SkillsHobbies Aside from espionage, hacking, and toxicology, August is quite the avid gardener. He also enjoys a good book, cooking, playing the piano, and listening to jazz and violin. Positions Depends, Switch if he can help it. But I'm open to anything for him Appearance August is a tall and slim man, 60 even with a lean build of muscles. His eyes are hazel with a vibrant splash of green as the dominant color. Generally, when hes at work, he dresses impeccably formal and fancy as such attire is required to be near a majority of his target--common trash cant get away with being near some rich pompous bastard, now can it? If the scene calls for it, more often than not hell wear a partial mask of a hare that resembles this one here, however it only covers the upper half of his face. The same applies for when he needs to meet a client face-to-face. When hes not working, he loses his high end appearance for a much more lax attire consisting of a plain button up shirt and plain pants. Personality August is quite the serious man. He takes his gardening seriously, he takes his job even more so, and considers his studies and experimentations with his poisons the most serious of all. But believe it or not, he actually doesnt have a stick up his ass despite his priorities. He knows how to have...well, not fun necessarily as he does tread on the side of caution, but he knows damn well how to make it fully enjoyable for himself. Hes been known to show of snark and attitude to rivals, certain people who hire his services, and even captors. August is hardly afraid of anything that can be sent his way, for seeing death the way he has made him rather numb to the whole subject even if its his own life at stake. Not only that, but he has no shame or ill will for what he does. In fact he does it all with pride of his handy work and his head held high. He does have a few morals, of course, in that he would never take part in something that would exterminate children or an entire race of any kind. He never writes any of his formulas or recipes down, be they for poisons or the antidotes to said toxins for he has an eidetic memory and have no need to write them down--and the notes he does write down in the process of making a new type of bane ends up being tossed in a fire to ensure nobody else can get a hold of them. This does make him paranoid in a way, but only in a small way. Bio Many would assume he does what he does because he had a troublesome childhood, but they couldnt be more wrong. Although he was an orphan, it honestly wasnt as bad as most would assume. He had good food, clothes, a warm bed, nice caretakers, a good education...it was quite wonderful. And when he was adopted it was even better. The man adopted him was rich, kind, and a genius with the sciences. Its where August got his passion for plants and toxins, to be honest. His computer smarts came later, finding coding fascinating in the way that it operates on a series of numbers. There was an accident, however, that resulted in the loss of the man he came to know as father, but as saddened as he was her couldnt deny the depths that piqued his curiosity. Slowly but surely he became invested in the explorations of the studies he took on, finding himself in company that was without a doubt suspicious and obviously dirty. But with the offer of vast amounts of money and the resources for his research, there wasnt a chance he was going to turn down the offer he was given and he dropped the title of Scientist and took up the status of Assassin with no hesitation. He hasnt looked back since and doesnt regret any of it. Last edited Dec 21, 2020
