SUMMARY
Povent Danarius Glasssmithsson is a wandering magician, fortune teller, and charlatan. Orphaned as a teenager after the murder of their parents, Povent had to fend for themselves and lived a less than honest life trying to make money. While they want to find out who killed their parents, they don't have enough information and have only found dead ends. More importantly, Povent is out for their own survival first and foremost - revenge is only secondary.
PLAYLIST
ABOUT
A sorcerer with a bad reputation, Povent is a charlatan who hops from town to town whenever things get rough or someone gets wise to their scams. Their loud style of dress and even louder mannerisms always identify them easily - they try very hard to stand out in a crowd.
Their powers come from the moon - a little funny, because they actually live on it. Even their celestial origins, inherited from their mother, are linked to the moon. Their mother, Diligence, was blessed by Selûne and was even a priest of hers. Povent's gifts are the secondhand reflections of that relationship, diluted by time and Ven's iconoclasm, but enough to connect them to a potent source of magic that they have been able to grasp and grow with their own power.
PERSONALITY
Most people who meet Ven will think them pleasant, funny, and very genial. They always present themselves that way, at least. A chatty little sweettalker, who could talk you into giving up your whole fortune with enough time and enough sultry smiles.
Beneath that facade however, lies a selfish and desperate creature who seeks approval like a moth seeks light. Someone who is prone to overreactions, overstimulation, and hysterics. Povent is fueled by a core of anger and resentment, a trait that has fundamentally altered how their divine power presents. They used to have wings, you know. Now they just burn.

TRIVIA
Povent's blood is a sticky silver substance, almost like liquid mercury. When they release their divine power, it drips from their eyes and evaporates into a silver mist that burns those around them.
Dreams of owning a horse and naming it Hellion.
Their arcane focus is a silver chain with cut glass shaped like crystals hanging off it that they wear hanging off their belt.
BACKSTORY
THEN
Although they were not born on Lun, Povent certainly does not remember much of their life before arriving as a settler. They were only five years old when they came with their mothers as early settlers of the new colonies on the moon. Life there was sometimes difficult, but Povent never had any reason to complain.
Ingra Glasssmith was the daughter of Yahg Glasssmith, a Vitrian inventor turned politcian, and was herself an artificer, and Diligence was a cleric of some power. Since both of their abilities afforded them a bit of status and respect, Povent enjoyed a stable upbringing. It wasn't until they were a teenager that they first tasted real adversity, when they witnessed the murder of their parents and escaped before they could be killed too.
Going from the much loved child of two affectionate parents to an orphan with no money, no home, no one to rely on, as well as the constant fear of someone coming to finish the job and kill Povent was a harsh transition. They quickly learned to trust only themself.
NOW
Vennie now makes their living as a travelling "fortune teller", the kind who overcharges and makes everything up. They've dabbled in other scams, but their talent for talking bullshit has always been strong. They are always on the lookout for information about the people who killed their parents, but have had infuriatingly little luck.
The life that they're living now is not the kind their mothers would have approved of, or wanted for them, but it's the kind of life that's kept Povent safe and under the radar. In the end, that's all that matters.
