Personality
Ven is solitary creature. He lives in a home he found carved into the side of a rock face in Taiwan, presumably by an ancient civilization. He has a love for candles, and makes his own. He collects all kinds of crystals and has many chandelier type arrays hanging around the outside of his home's entrance, sending rainbow light in through the windows. He is mute and does not speak to anyone, no matter what. Some believe he is not able to produce speech at all. He strives to live a simple life and is content with watching the sun rise, feeding birds, and taking walks through nature. He is an alchemist, but mostly derives his materials from natural sources. He creates natural remedies, 'potions', and objects with special abilities. Many have attempted to visit his home to try and figure out what he is up to out here. Most get lost on the way, but those who don't are welcomed in for bread and tea. Ven still will not speak to them, and they often leave with more questions than they came with, but with a genuine liking for the eccentric alchemist. |
Career
Ven attends the local market 3 times a week. He creates natural medicines for just about any disease in the books; from the common cold, to toothaches, to infections. He will also take requests from customers if the specific ailment they suffer from is not displayed at his market stand. Many of his customers will find that his medicines are not a hoax at all and he has come to be known as the "medicine-man" since the word quickly spreads after a cure. He never seems to be out of business. Ven also creates what he calls potions for mental ailments like stress and fatigue. His instructions for use also include other activities that may reduce such a problem, and he knows that while the potions do hold helpful ingredients, most of their effects are placebo. He sells various trinkets; such as good luck charms, earthquake detecting bobble heads, rain sticks, and protective totems. He will sometimes gather crystals from nearby caves, and after selecting the few best ones to keep for himself, sells the remainders with labels detailing what type of energy each crystal would emit. He occasionally makes candles and sells or trades the extras for more candles. Ven never seems to be out of money and he lives a comfortably self-sustained life. He does not leave any physical marks on the world and goes about it completely in peace. Quote: WIP
