Houdini is a magician, prestidigitator, and escape artist.
Truth be told, he's still something of a novice, and not
notably good at any of these arts, although he's learning
more day by day (often to his disadvantage, though, since
lessons can be.. hard). He is a male human, around 5'8", of
medium build, with short slightly curly hair and blue-green
eyes, appearing to be vaguely in his mid-thirties.
Houdini finds himself in the area entirely by accident,
and in fact is quite astonished to be here. It seems that
one day, while perusing some of the dustier bins in one
of the more obsucre 2nd-hand magic shops in the Magic District
in New York City, he came across an odd amulet inlaid with
strange, almost erotic figures of snakes and dragons. He actually
recognized an inscription as being written in an old Celtic language
belonging to an ancient snake-worshipping cult, and sounded out the
runes. Suddenly vanishing, he wound up here, totally
bewildered, somewhat nervous, and without any idea how to get back.
(On the plus side, the *zap* occurred before he had a chance to pay
for the amulet).
Houdini has a canvas bag with some of the tools of his art: a plastic
magic wand with a gold star on the end, a "Handbook of Magic Tricks",
a couple of pairs of handcuffs and some chains, a strait-jacket, and
several coils of rope.
RP: Houdini is clearly prey (to females). He is quite unwilling
and will always resist. Feel free to insist. You'll break
him down eventually. Struggle, captivity, subdual, digestion...
he's fair game for all. But be alert: he's expert at getting
out of things. Well, not expert, but pretty good. Well, fair, anyway...
