==== Background ====

Mirror was born as... Someone, son of a lower-class family in Nexus. They tried to raise him as best they could, but with two older daughters competing for attention, someone was often ignored. This may have led to his unfortunate habits of theft and espionage between various gangs, or he may have floated into that lifestyle on his own with no prompting. Whatever caused it, however, he quickly gained a hushed reputation, and eventually it caught up with him. After an attempt to masquerade as a gang's leader went wrong, that person decided to return to the straight and narrow path.

This is probably what killed him. While it was difficult to find someone when he didn't want to be found, eventually he was discovered, and someone found himself fleeing for his life from not just one but ''two'' gangs- the one he'd tried to infiltrate (for obvious reasons), and the one he'd been doing it on behalf of (because of his faliure). He nearly made it, too- two injuries that probably would have killed him were just barely nonfatal, although one put out his eye and the other definitely crippled his getaway.

The third injury was not as nonfatal- a makeshift spear being shoved unceremoniously through his stomach and out through his back. Then they left him there, bleeding on the ground. As he died, he heard a voice in his head offering him the chance at living again, this time with enough power to make everyone else tremble before him. It was a very, very tempting offer, and so he took it. Because, you know, why the hell not.

==== Personality ====

Mirror's initial personality seems a bit ... bland. He's soft-spoken, calm, and almost... well, almost canatonic in the way he acts. After prolongued exposure to him, though, someone might start to pick up that some of his mannerisms are odd in a way that defies explanation. Someone particularly perceptive might notice, after even more exposure to him, that it's because his unconscious gestures mimic the unconscious gestures of the person he's talking to- from the rythm of breathing to the nervous ticks, to the style of laughing.

Mirror has a tendancy to stare off into space, at times, and he will often speak with people while in this state- never focusing on them, so it's difficult to say whether he's actually talking to them, or simply talking near them. He has very little in the way of a sense of humor, and that he does have is increadibly deadpan. Nobody who knows him has ever heard him laugh, or see him smile ... when he's not pretending to be someone else, anyway. Mirror's disguises tend to go ''all the way''- he's either an incredibly good method actor, or he actively ignores emotion in his normal state, because when he needs to, he can be ditzy, passionately devoted to a cause, angry, sorrowful ... whatever emotion he fakes ends with the disguise, though.

==== Appearance ====

Mirror's appearance tends to change depending on what he needs to look like, but when he's not disguised, he's easy to recognize- and easy to mistake for one of the living. More than anything he looks like someone who is either recovering from a prolongued bout of illness or a painful injury or, possibly, both. His hair is chin-length and black, with a slightly violet sheen in the light. His skin is pale, obviously, but gives the impression more of one who used to have a healthy complexion before losing it due to illness. His right eye is a deep rich red-violet, while the left one is hidden away behind bandages. Mirror is thin, and his ribs are clearly visible beneath his skin if he has his shirt off- of course, if one saw that, they would be much more preoccupied with his scars. 

Mirror is, indeed, quite heavily scarred. His stomach features a large scar that can only really be the result of a nasty impalement wound, and a matching scar on his lower back implies that it was much nastier than can generally be walked away from. His upper back has a second scar, a horizontal slashing wound that looks like it was quite deep. Mirror's arms are also covered in several smaller scars that appear to be ex-stab wounds. All of this scarring is easily hid under sufficiently concealing clothing, however.
