Sircarius, God of Assassins

Sircarius is a dark and brooding God, but one of those integral Gods in my story. He and Aiyana are half siblings (different fathers), but in his heart of hearts he cares for her more then any other God. Because of this, the God of Assassins and Thieves has a heart of gold when it comes to Aiyana and her followers. He thrills in the hunt and the rush one gets from the chase. Though most of his followers also pay heed to Pezuta, Lady Luck, they beg him for guidance of their weapons to strike true and for locks to be easy to pick. He is a man dressed all in black, his cloak always billowing, a poisoned dagger at his side. He is darkly handsome, right down to the black goatee. His favorite avatar is Dread, an assassin who roams the world.

Some generic information is as follows: His symbol is a mask with a dagger and a pouch of gold. His Mages are all trained assassins or thieves and wear the attire appropriate for that profession. They usually carry daggers or short swords.

Sircarius' alignment (if your game calls for it) is chaotic evil. He is a darkness upon the world, his motives never clear.

Sircarius' followers are thieves and assassins of every race.

Sircarius created no races.

Sircarius' Mages are charged with training assassins and thieves and acquiring wealth. His temples are dark and brooding, but beautiful in such darkness. Such places are usually covered in traps and bare great treasure troves.

Sircarius gets along with most of the Gods, though he frowns on Sominare because his followers need good luck. Kahalla is not amongst his favorite and he loves Aiyana dearly. He would do anything she asks.

Roleplaying tip of the Day: Flavor text. This should be a no brainer, but is it? Some groups like to know what everything in the room looks like, others don't. But sometimes a bit of good description can get a campaign running in the right direction. If you describe everything equally the hook isn't obvious and sometimes that makes a campaign all the more fun.
