Full Name:
Augustus Ellaivre-Solarent L'Astuce Coeur Frieren Pieuvre de Aramoore
Translation: Augustus, born under a Waxing Gibbous moon in September, with a heart belonging to trickery and wit, of the Frieren family, the Octopus of Aramoore
Heritage/Race:
Narim
Culture:
Vitfou Narim/Ithanian Culture
Age:
32
Gender:
Unknown
Pronouns:
They/Them
Religion:
Narim Unionism
Occult:
Mundane
Character Occupation:
Member of the Hoterie Guild (Spa du Ciel); Owner of "Silver Silk Trading Co."
Appearance Information:
Augustus is based on the Maratus Sceletus spider, which is a primary black peacock spider with white bone-like stripes and hints of a pale blue. They have five completely blue eyes and sectoral heterochromia in their uppermost right eye, turning half of the blue into a golden-hazel tone (3 eyes on the left, 3 eyes on the right). They are not incredibly tall, either, only standing at about 4'11" total, and have a smaller frame to match this. Despite that, they are still quite sturdy-looking, having muscle tone from years of travel. Their clothing can vary from flowing dresses to sharp suits, often confusing many people as they don't exactly conform to any gender. As a bonus, their right arm is entirely clocktech, all the way to the shoulder- though the reason they are missing that arm is unknown, and they are never seen without it.
Skill Information:
Hobbies and Talents:
Augustus' finest skill is their weaving, and their tapestries are both beautiful and expensive because of this. Already having deft hands from their species, they use their equally keen sight to keep up with not only inspiration but also trends in the artistic world. It's a perk that this is also their hobby, making their work quite fun to them.
Mechanics:
Narim
Narim can attempt to sense a discordant note from a deep gestalt consciousness with the living, when they focus on an Event/DM Character, to learn if they have dark/evil/immoral intentions.
Narim can Point Buy up to 3 Packs from Prayer Point Buy so long as they only have God Magic Dimension Alignment. Any other form of non-Mundaneness revokes this.
Narim have night vision and are able to see in perfect (mundane) darkness, never needing a light or some other sight implemented in the sewers or at night.
Narim can misdirect Sinistral God Magic in Emote Distance by others to be seen as Radiant by their Gods instead. This counts as them using Sinistral Magic instead, however.
Narim can revert to a larval stage (not child-like, but grub-like) shedding their body, for 3 days. They can then change their arthropod species, and recover any lost limbs or remove scarring.
Hôterie Order Mechanics
Hoterie Guild Members gain a +2 Bonus to every Persuasion Dice roll while also raising the Persuasion Cap by +2. This does not stack with the Persuasion Bonus from Adapt Point Buy Mindcontrol Pack.
Hoterie Guild Members gain Persuasion Bonuses depending on the number of Proficiency Points they haven't spent. If they for example only spent 7 out of 14 on Point Buy, they gain +7 Persuasion up to a cap of 10.
Hoterie Guild Members can become the ultimate Himbo/Bimbo/Thembeau. If they have not invested a single Proficiency Point in anything, their Persuasion Dices always succeed (within reason on Event Profiles, consult DM).
When Hoterie Guild Members have established influence over a specific person, and they are in the same scene, the Persuasion Dice used on their influenced Target takes their Persuasion Stat for defense instead.

Backstory:
Augustus Frieren, the founder and well-known merchant for the Silver Silk Trading Co., is known for their elusive and busy nature. Nobody knows exactly when they appeared, but it was almost out of the blue with fine items for sale. From gemstones to their signature tapestries, Augustus was quick to rise in status as a merchant and added many goods to their repertoire of lavish goods. Once they established themself, their fleet grew extensively to match this. With it, they expanded their reach abroad and began their work in the Hoterie Guild/Order.
Plothooks:
Pieuvre de Aramoore
Augustus' Nom de Noblesse is an homage to their resourcefulness, and their company's reach. It is also a nod to themself, since spiders and octopi each have 8 limbs.
While not from a big city, Augustus is quite well-immersed in Ithanian culture, though they have no allegiance to anyone in particular. Aramoore itself is a small, seaside town within the small islands between Basta and Vixhall. It is not a big town by any means, rather closer in appearance to that of a village than a city.
Tapestry Travels
Augustus has been all over the place in their lifetime as they traveled to find inspiration for their silk tapestries. However, if you ask them about larger cities, they will often have little to say about the area. Instead, if asked about smaller cities or even villages- they'll gush for hours on end!
Imports and Exports
Very rarely is Augustus not in "business mode," as they have to run a fleet of ships constantly bringing around goods. With this, they are always found with at least a book and quill on them- documenting things either for inspiration or for their shipments.
If you're ever curious about smaller port towns with rare goods, Augustus is a must-have. Despite their occasional tease and flippant attitude, they'll chat your ear off about all of the towns they import goods from. More often than not, they aren't actual cities or major ports, but smaller towns they've visited in their travels to work on their craft.
The Frieren Family
The Frierens were the old noble family in Aramoore, though they dissolved their status many decades prior. Louis Frieren, the head of the household before Augustus, was an avid fencing champion- but was not a Narim. In fact, he was a half Fin'ullen who descended from the founders of Aramoore.
History
The few who have been inside of Augustus' primary vessel to meet with the merchant have noticed some… odd decorum in their office. From diplomats to fellow merchants, all have been unnerved by the amount of knives on display on their starboard wall, though Augustus insists they are nothing but display pieces. Due to this, many believe they have blades on them at all times and are poised to strike if provoked. However, there is no record of these events occurring. On top of that, they don't talk about their life before owning their company, but whatever it was turned them into a semi-pacifist despite this collection... Maybe it has something to do with their missing arm?

Augustus was in Amontaar (Sol Aligned)! Feel free to ask them about their time there.
