I'm going to join despite myself, because I'm foolish:
Name: Harry Barkle
Gender: Male
Age: 33
Physical Appearance: He's got friendly ol' eyes, and a rather good smile. He's got white hair, a full head of it as well as a beard, which is also white. In fact, he looks rather like Santa Clause (if he exists in your well developed world). There's a reason for all this, which'll be explained. He's really quite overweight, and he'll tell you this is to fit the fake persona he's built, but it's quite probably just because he's very rich and very hungry.
Talents: He's a good talker, and a good people person. Can talk his way out a variety of situations, and he's good at exploiting people's motives. He's a good actor, and people tend to notice his whole 'jolly fat man' act before they notice that, despite his good smile, his jolliness is never real. He's got a bit of skill at forging things, but not much, really. He's got okay at sleight of hand, in case he ever needs it for his, uh, job.
Persona: Firstly, and probably most importantly, he's a con artist. I decided to put that here, because there's no place for career. He takes advantage of the stupid, the selfish, general con artist stuff. And he's produced his fake persona for the eyes of his victims, to let them see what they want to see, and not the truth. His victims see a jolly fat man, so they don't pay attention to the fact that he's tricking them out of their money.
He really does, if not hate, is filled with shame for humanities short-comings. He'd know, after all; he's the one taking advantage of them. He does not trust people, on the whole, but will let someone special get in to his trust. He's deluded himself into thinking he's helping people by robbing the rich, like he is a robin hood figure, but that's not true; he just doesn't trick the poor because the poor don't have money. He disrespects humanity, on the whole, but not specifically. He can like someone if they've got flair, if they're smart, even if they can outplay him.
Preferred Weapon: His acting, his smile, his talking. He's not really very good at conventional weapons, although he can handle a knife a little. Not much, though.
