Furor Opilio
Furor Opilio (a.k.a. „The wildcard“)
16.08.4940 - Plaza in front of the National Museum of Briskk - 2 am local time
———
A night like every other one, calm, silent; the city was dead. A faint purple shine glowed up in a dark alley near the museum. Two individuals were appearing out of seemingly nowhere, based on their silhouettes a high-grown human and a guardian of the Green, a Dryad. They looked at each other, nodded and started sprinting in the direction of the museum. Quickly and unnoticed they arrived at the wall separating the museum area from the streets. The human signalled his partner something and the dryad kneed down, laying a rooted arm on the ground. Moments later a small tree started sprouting out of the ground forming something, that loosely remembered of a stairway.
The human took the tree, climbs on the wall and pulls out his hand to his partner. The dryad took the presented arm gladly and pulled herself up to him. She stood up surveilling carefully the area. Then she rose both of her arms, green flickers of magic dancing around her body solidifying themself in a giant rune over her head. While this was happening the human looked around panicky signalling her partner to go faster. But she stayed still until the clockwork of the Chronomancer appeared and burst, sending out a green globe putting the near area in a short term time loop. The time has come. Two minutes: In and out! The human pulled a cane out of his mantle aiming with the tip through an open window of the museum. Fire! The entrance was set. He kneeled drawing quickly a circle activating the portal after the conclusion. He jumped into the portal gaining quick access to the museum. His eyes were now glancing left and right. Where is the item in question? Where is the mask of many faces?
A moment later he found the artefact, hanging on the wall on the other side of the room.
He looks back through the portal checking if his partner is still holding up the spell. With a crooked grin, he drew another portal in the air beside him and aimed his cane at the wall next to the mask.
The portal opened and the man reached quickly through it pulling the mask from the wall. Alarm triggered. But held back by his partner's powers; 1 minute left.
Tipping with his robotic arm against his mechanical eye, he mumbled the codeword „Br-113“.
The eye lighted up showing him a round form with two devil horns. He quickly drew the sign into the air opening a portal to the permanent exit in the alley across the steer jumping through it when having it finally materialized.
He signalled his partner to get down from the wall back to the meeting point while activating his eye again searching through their possible escape routes. „Hideout-8“, he mumbled getting immediately provided with yet another form he drew stante pede into the sky. The dryad had just passed the outer barrier of her time bubble breaking it in the process stopping the time loop.
The silent night was now a goner, hundreds upon hundreds of alarm signals were going off at the same time. While this was happening the duo jumped through the portal never to be seen again...well, at least until their next heist.

Physical Description
Body Features
Furor is a well-trained human with a slender, high-grown body. He has a weakness for fine clothes paired with a heavy mantle. It is rare to see him in casual clothes. Grey, black and silver are the colours of his choice. A defining feature, however, is his metallic right arm, but it is not known where exactly the flesh yields the metal. It is not known if he possesses any other body enhancements under his clothes but it is likely.
Furor has always the The Book of Debts at his side, bound at a silver chain, stored in one of the many pockets of his mantle. As it is a Soulbound object he has to keep it always in a 2-meter radius around himself, rendering the book, which is storing hundreds of favours a must accessory of his outfit.

Special abilities
Magic
Furor is a so-called portal magician, means he is able to draw dimensional doors reaching from one place to another. But this ability has to follow the following rules:
Rule 1:
Only one pair of Portals can exist at the same time. The portal opens when the entrance and exit got drawn and closes exactly at the moment when a second pair got created; Two gates can not exist at the same time.
Rule 2: Entrance and Exit have to be drawn manually and can be disrupted by destroying the form. Furor, however, has a way to create portals to unreachable places. By infusing his magic into his repurposed cane he can use it as a portal gun. He can only jump to places where he can actually go to, or shoot at.
Rule 3: Everyone and everything can pass through Furor's portals. There is no way to restrict the usage to a chosen few
Blessed state
Furor has gotten his abilities through divine means, allowing him to utilise his gift in a unique way.
Blessed ability:
Connecting himself to the goddess of passage Speclux granted him the ability to create permanent exits: Furor can place down inactive exits of a distinct form anywhere in the known world. They will last and are reusable until the form gets destroyed. Furor has to only draw the unique form and the portal will open immediately. This portal follows the given Rules as well. Having created hundreds of hundreds of these one-way gates, Furor has catalogized and saved the forms in his artificial eye. Via voice command, he can let the eye visually project him the form he needs.

Mental characteristics
Employment
Furor is a lawless self-proclaimed Mercenary for each and anyone. Going by the pseudonym "The wildcard", he is the number one contract partner for every job possible.
Be it gathering, guarding, stealing, murdering or simply an additional hand for work; Furor is the man to call.
And all that for the low price of nothing, well nearly nothing. Furor does not take money as payment, which makes him an option for everyone, he has a special way of assuring that he gets something out of the contract that is way more worth than money. Favours. If you want to hire him you pay in a special way; by writing your name in a special book Furor has bound himself towards:
The book of debts. For every time your name is written in this book, Furor can cash in favours of any kind from you, only limited by your inner moral compass. And you have to obey that command. That's the reason Furor gets called that way, the contractor never knows what the payment will be or when it will occur.
"Remember me, Viscount? You contacted me 10 years ago to take care of your illegitimate family, as they were a risking factor in your career.
Was really not my proudest moment making them vanish from the face of Prius, but I held my end of the deal.
And now I am here to claim my part of the contract.
I know how corrupt you are Viscount, you will not be able to resist my bidding.
I order you to pull your many strings to ruin a certain research facility of Etherium trying to find a "cure" against magic; by experimenting with innocent people in contemptuous ways we cant tolerate anymore.
As long as the victims leave the facility unharmed you can do what you want to get this sabotage done.
So, hush! Do your job my little minion!"Furor Opilio
Morality & Philosophy
„Morality? What is that?As long as you are able to hold your part of the deal I will be ready and able to do everything you can think of.
The customer is king!
You just have to be ready to pay in the same intensity when I am cashing in my part of the contract.Capito?"Furor Opilio
For Furor nothing is holy anymore, nothing but his life partner Videns.
Because after many years of being a mercenary, thief and assassin there are not many boundaries left he has yet to overstep.
Furor has started wars by assassinating leading figures, possesses a personal prison if someone has to vanish from Prius for an extended time and even challenged demigods of the Eternal Counsel on various occasions. He is known and feared as the most ruthless Mercenary to date. And still the most asked one due to exactly that mentality.

Wealth & Financial state
Wealth has no real meaning for Furor as his abilities combined with Videns‘ abilities as a chronomancer makes it possible for this rehearsed team to steal everything they truly need. Furor however has collected quite a few priceless artifacts over the many years trying to find the right artifacts for executing the plan, the Acolytes of the Old are trying to pull off. Behind one of his many portals he set all those artifacts up like a Museum to have a place housing the many memories he had made with his partner in crime Videns.

Felines (Crude)
Merfolk (Crude)
Ruled Locations
Verbal Finesse
Being already around for a long time Furor has picked up quite a few ways to outsmart his opposites. From simple world juggling acts to twist the meaning of a sentence in his favour to long-reaching deep-rooting schemes, he kept up for multiple years just to end at the top upon conclusion.There are only a few, who can beat him in a verbal duel.
Longevity
Furor has already gone beyond the limits of a human's life expectations.And yet he looks not older than a man in its late 30s. This is due to his bond with his life partner, the dryad Videns, who kept him since they first met young and beautiful with her abilities.
A healthy mix of the curing abilities of dryad-spit elixir with her given abilities to control the flow of time as a chronomancer makes for the perfect youth elixir assuring a far extended life.
