Canso
Appearance
Despite living on the verge of poverty, Canso always dresses to impress. He keeps both his hair and budding facial hair trimmed and cleaned, as well as always ensuring that his own personal hygiene never falls below acceptable public standards. He keeps his clothes - most of which are either blacks or dark greys, cleaned and pressed. His pride and joy - a long (and arguably melodramatic) black cape - is always his top priority when it comes to use of funds. The smallest tear will see him strutting to the nearest seamstress, even if it means going hungry for the night.
Skills and Abilities
Despite not being particularly prolific Canso can claim some knowledge of minor illusion magic. So long as the target is not large, he can trick the eye into either seeing things, or cause them to ignore something within view. The largest mass he's been able to cause to 'vanish' is 3kg, and he can cause illusions of an object up to 8kg.
He is also capable of using his magic to slightly alter the mind of his target. By this, he can fabricate events, or change the target's perception of a given event. This comes with a lot of red-tape, however: for one, he cannot do this to an unwilling target, and second, he cannot alter memories of events that he himself were not privy to. His alterations also cannot be too drastic, for example, if the target saw an urchin being kicked, he would not be able to cause the target to forget that someone had been kicked. He would, however, be able to alter the target's mind to believe that a dog had been kicked instead.
He would also consider his 'charming personality' to be a skill of his, but this is a highly debated claim.

Personality
Eccentric would likely be the first word someone would use to describe Canso. The young man has little concept of social parameters, nor does he take any lengths to ensure that he doesn't make those around him uncomfortable. His overwhelming presence means that he always strives to be the centre of attention, and is quite content to shove others out of the way if it means the spotlight falls on him.
Lying is something as natural as breathing to Canso. Whether or not he's telling the truth at any given time is unknown, and so most that know him rarely take anything that he says seriously. Those gullible enough to fall for whatever story of the day he's toting can often find themselves short a bit of coin the next morning.
Canso is also a rather obsessive flirt. Man, woman, non-human, it doesn't matter to him. Flattery is often the best way to get someone to drop their guard after-all. He's also not opposed to going past mere flattery, though most are smart enough to see his flirtation as hollow and end things before they progress further. Not that Canso minds, usually this gives him enough time to riffle through their pockets.
