Name: Gweezdo
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Race: Imperial
Appearance: It is not easy to tell Gweezdo is a criminal just by looking at him. First of all, his skinny limbs and frail body let most guess correctly that he isn't fit for battle. His face is relatively free of filth compared to most of his unwashed brothers in the business, but the dirt still makes his skin look slightly darker than it actually is.
Like the rest of his body, his skull is thinner than usual, and, in consequence, his light blue eyes seem to slightly pop out of it. This, however, by no means translates into Gweezdo being labelled as an ugly man. His scarless, relatively clean face (in contrast with most other bandits) would fool nearly anyone into believing him to be a medium-high class merchant rather than a criminal.
His dark, medium length hair is usually free from any style, sprouting in several directions chaotically, the occasion when it gets in front of his eyes not being very uncommon. However, in case of a business meeting or another formal need, Gweezdo will do his best to either hide it with a hat/hood or try to make it look like an actual hairstyle.
Never truly feeling like battling, Gweezdo prefers to simply wear common dark brown garbs with a leather vest hidden under them just in case of a lucky arrow stinging him where it really hurts, instead of actual heavy and uncomfortable armor. His hands are usually protected with thin gloves to avoid leaving any ink marks or blood stains on stolen objects.
Personality: What Gweezdo lacks in throat-slicing and bone-crushing skills, he makes up for with his sharp tongue and cunning mind. It isn't uncommon of him to talk to himself and think out loud in empty rooms. Given an opportunity, he will display some greed, and perhaps be even selfish, but in the end, he will choose his friends.
Gweezdo is also a rather good liar and deceiver, and excels at hiding the truth, or, at least, not spitting it all out, and can impersonate several professions of which he knows nothing about remarkably well. He favors card tricks and games above anything else to pass the time, and the schemes he has managed to pull off with them (either by magic or fake decks, nobody really knows), have already earned him plenty of septims, which he later lost due to several bloodthirsty creditors being after him.
While being almost as horrible at telling jokes as he is at holding his own in fights, Gweezdo knows very well how to make the toughest general feel flattered if he manages to know what prides him most, and that is how he manages to make most of his deals, be them in territory, loot, or lives to spare.
Quite amusingly, or sadly, in his perspective, the imperial is somewhat cowardly conflict-wise, and gets hurt quite often when it comes to physical challenges, and he is not exactly strange to showing his fear, be it in battle, or when a deal starts to go south.
Gweezdo rarely approaches people he has no business with, being very shy, despite being at a mental advantage most of the time compared to the common men. However, when he does have a reason to be speaking, he often proves himself to be far above the common illiterate lowly bandit that is found guarding the entrances of their forts. He can spend an entire barter between two bandit clans making both leaders unsure of which side he is truly on, and, by the end of said barter, both would feel like they had walked out of it with a satisfying profit.
Combat Style: Gweezdo's cowardice should not be interpreted incorrectly. He isn't a virgin of battle, and isn't, by any means, a stranger to murder as well. However, he prefers to scheme, steal or waylay his way to victory, instead of swinging a mace above his head and yelling out the names of as many gods and goddesses as he can think of.
If, in any situation, battle becomes unavoidable, and he is already detected, the cornered rat will prefer ranged weaponry, the lighter the better, choosing a slingshot over a crossbow any day of the week.
Color: "Never lost a fair game! Never played one either..."
EDIT: Oh, I missed the post where you said you wanted a hard-hitter. I can try to pull out another character if the need is such, but for now I have to sleep.
