Richard Solomon was born 34 years ago In a traveling band. Richard learned 'magic'/slight of hand from the members of the band. He travelled with the band for a few years until he was 19 when He took off on his own to see what he could see.
He has been travelling by himself since then, entertaining those he could to earn a few coins here and there. Later, at the age of 24 he learned of the art of doll magic, At first he could only make dolls look like people but that soon grew.
Richard is somewhat untrustworthy. 3 years ago, thats the first time he stole, or more specifically he used his dolls to steal. He was in the city of doma, selling his dolls. A rich noble-woman came by who was thrilled by the dolls, but was very rude to him anyway. She eventually wanted to buy one for her daughter but refused to pay even half the normal cost. So he had an idea, "Wait till they are sleeping 3 nights from now, take the jeweled necklace she is wearing. Bring it here, at midnight." he whispered to the doll.
As he took the necklace from the doll at the appointed time, He thought, 'that was easy, but who would suspect a doll?'. His income increased significantly after that. He would steal from the wealthy, those who could afford it, then move on. By the time the people noticed the theft, the dolls would be back at the house, to play with the children, follow like a puppy dog, or even just sit being cute. After all who would suspect a little version of themself? He let three days later, His guilty conscience wouldn't leave him alone until he did.
Richard is rather quiet to others, he has to speak to perform but is otherwise more likely to look at you than speak to you. Secretly he dislikes strangers, but values friends highly, when one moves as much as he does friends are few and far between.
The abilities he have almost scare him, not because hes powerful in any way, but because he makes life. Surly this is some sort of sin. He only continues because he has nothing else he can do.
He loves and hates be a traveler, he wishes that he could settle down. The longest he stayed in a city was in doma, for the 1 year he was there, he ruined it by stealing, stealing from a woman who probably doesn't even remember he exists.
Fate's pawn, thats what he thinks of himself. He regualarly reads tarot cards, and has a nack for his predictions coming true...
He has no real strengh of his own, his only power is to enhance or copy the strenth of others.
His abilaties to make friends come almost exclusively from his abilities with dolls. As a performer he is able to be friendly without being friends... When he makes friends he tends to value them much higher than the average person, as he makes them less often than other people.
