<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Mannerisms: As Reynaldo, he hides his identity by pretending to be a wastrel playboy. He spends much time relaxing, reading and cultivating an air of ennui. But, as The Fox, he is a man of action, rarely still, and always calculating.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> One paragraph of how they would describe themselves: <span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;">How would I describe myself? Suave, confident and intense. I have much to do, and I fear, not enough time to do it. In addition to re-forming the Alliance, I also seek the heir to my title. I will never marry, therefore, I must find an heir. I use my magic and skills to influence people to make the right decisions.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> What do they consider their best physical characteristic and why: His eyes, which are an intense amber, and mesmerizing.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> The worst one? Why? His temper, which can be quick to flare.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;">Interaction with other people:
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;">How do they relate to others: As Rey, he is good natured and fun. As The Fox, he is intense, witty and sometimes demanding.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Wife/husband/lover: Rey was married to a young woman named Celia Rufina. She was killed in what appeared to be an accident, but Rey eventually found out that she was murdered by the Smiling Knives.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;">What do people like most about this char: Rey is fun to be around, but as The Fox, he is also very dangerous.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> What do they dislike most about them: Most people think that Rey should "do something productive with his life."

<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;">Goals:
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;">Immediate: Gather information from all the heroes/heroines in the different regions. Bring them all together.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Long term: Re-form the Alliance and defeat the villain.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> How do they plan to accomplish them: Get everyone to owe him (or The Fox) a favor. Get reports from all regions. Send out scouts on missions to gather intelligence.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> How will others be affected by this: Well, he will be either directly or indirectly manipulating people to come together for the final battle.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Kind of problems they usually run into: If there is a problem, Rey will probably find it!

<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> How they react to new problems: They are a puzzle to be solved, and something to occupy his mind.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> How they react to change: Change is a constant. That doesn't mean he has to like it though.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;">General:
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;">Favorite clothing, why: His cloak, which was Shadow-woven, gives him invisibility at night and in shadows. During the bright light of day, however, it seems to just be a normal cloak.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Least favorite, why: New boots. They aren't worn in enough and make too much noise.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Jewelry: A golden topaz cloak pin. A thick bracelet which is set with the gemstones from all the regions of Pyrosium (allowing him entrance to all the Gates).

<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> Other accessories: A gold ring on his left hand, with a stylized fox engraved on it (worn ONLY when in his guise as The Fox). As Rey, he wears little jewelry.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;">Most important person in their life before story starts, why: His uncle.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"> How do they spend the week just before the story starts: Sending out requests for reports from all of his contacts.
