__________________IN-DEPTH STUFF

PHYSICAL
    Taeo is average height with a slimmer build. Though he's seemingly smaller than a typical man, he's a muscular power house - at least in regards to his own weight. A routine diet to keep him in tip-top shape after he was sold to the troupe and rigorous training from a young age, Taeo is... Unique. Long waist length black hair and strange white tattoo like markings on his arms and up to his throat. He keeps his arms bandaged up when he's not wearing some costume or another simply to avoid people asking questions. Most of the time claiming a disfigurement makes people disinterested.     
    An interesting aspect of Taeo are perhaps his eyes. A slitted pupil and eyes so blue they practically glow. While he has no idea of what his heritage is, he's fairly certain it isn't entirely human. Perhaps not even human at all.


PERSONALITY
There's a strange stubbornness to Taeo. He hates being told what to do - but he grumpily does it. Taeo isn't sure if it's the upbringing of 'owing back' that makes him accept it as it is. Being constantly reminded that he needs to work off debt's owed has soured him to... Just about everyone. His actual interactions with people he can appear as a little bit manipulative. Trying to get what he wants out of people when he can and in anyway he can do it. Taeo will talk his way into a free meal. He'll seduce a new headband out of a pretty lady. Promise things but never keep said promises.

Because they travel a decent amount he's also a bit of a con artist. Sure he isn't broad and powerful but he's handsome enough and sometimes people fall for the false charm. Taeo isn't above scamming people and is more than happy to take free things - even if they're only 'free' after he collects them. (Stealing. It's stealing.)

ABILITIES
Taeo is cold. At least his tattoos are cold. One part of his arm can be warm but when touching the tattoos they're ... Cold. Like a brisk winter wind. He talks to a strange frog that follows him around. He knows he should remember what it is or why it is, but he can't recall. He calls it Hepii-o. It talks to him.

Of his more practiced abilities, Taeo is also a contortionist, his main manner of Not Stolen Income. A fair amount of people are interested in seeing someone fold themselves in half. Though more are disgusted by it than fascinated. Still, it makes him money and he keeps his cut in a small savings pouch he keeps on himself 24/7.

RELATIONSHIPS
His Boss/Owner - Strained. Pays Taeo some money but keeps most of it, but also provides for him? Sort of like Taeo pays him room and board but also without him would have literally nothing. Taeo is a prisoner - because he is unwilling to have nothing.

HISTORY
When Taeo was a young boy, he was sold to a 'freak show' or sorts. He looked relatively normal. Blue eyes, no tattoos. He was taken under the wing of a childless woman from a foreign land Taeo can't recall and she taught him how to bend and move like water. It wasn't until he was in his late teens that sickness took her. Then he began to perform instead of just practice and run errands.

For the most part his life was uneventful except for the whole... Being sold and raised to sit on his own head. Uneventful even when the markings began to show up. The morning he woke up with a weird frog-ghost-thing that talks to him. Still though. His life is the same. City to city. Town to town. Always the same except for the few times he deviates and even then... Nothing is different. He's owned, so he can't leave and what use would a skill like his be?
