Kip Rogue: Adventurous Blue Blood
Kip Rogue/Lord Kippren Vulpero
Adventurer/Fringe Noble
24 Years
Gay/Homoflexible
Hero, Thief, Pervert, Saint - Ask anyone about Kip Rogue and you're likely to get some combination of these words, among a few other choice adjectives. For every seated royal that would see him immortalized in statuary tribute, another would happily see the irreverent Fox clapped in irons.
His antics and flippant attitude are largely tolerated due to his noble bloodties as well as his acclaimed skills in the surreptitious arts of stealth and thievery. Whether it be pilfering a crucial missive from a guarded courier, burglarizing a temple crawling with militant acolytes or relieving pompous royals of a few gems, Kip is your man for "witness free procurement" as he likes to call it. When attempting to contract his clandestine services, half the battle was finding the roving noble. His restless spirit made for many a weary courier simply searching him out to deliver summons requests and contract proposals.
Officially Lord Kippren of Sunvale in the Vulperian kingdom, he is a distant cousin to the Todd King Darrin, however he and the king were raised together in the capitol palace after Kip's father Lord Talvor mysteriously went missing. With no signs of any struggle or forced entry on the estate and no viable witnesses, Kip's mother Lady Mara fell into a grieving madness as rumors spread through their lands ranging from Talvor provoking the ire of a powerful sorceress to simply abandoning his family and station for foreign lands. After a fruitless search of the kingdom for the missing lord, there was little else the royal family could do without risking a perceived act of war or appearing weak by advertising a noble's kidnapping going unnoticed for nearly 10 hours.
With "Mad Mara" as she came to be called clearly in no shape to properly care for the barely weaned Kippren, the royal family took them in to live at the capitol palace. Kip was raised side by side with the king, only a few months his senior, while his mother recovered from her malady away from the reminders of her missing mate and rampant speculation around the Sunvale estate.
As Kip grew, he retained a fierce loyalty to his mother and a deep bond with the then Prince Darrin, even when they fought like any pair of siblings, but he grew largely dissatisfied with 'court life' as a whole. He was always more fascinated with the regaling tales of peril and adventure by boisterous travelers in seedy taverns. As he got older, he frequented taverns disguised as a commoner to unabashedly gush over the grizzled adventurers accounts of narrow escapes and debauchery. He found these much more engaging than the boasting of military prowess from the powdery perfumed knights and vassals at the castle.
As with all highborn, Kip's magical aptitude was gauged from childhood through tests disguised as different games and puzzles. Kip showed amazing potential right away and was appointed a full-time tutor; Tauvir, chronomancer and battlemage who was retired after his eyesight was compromised in a bandit raid. He now serves as Vulperian court magus and Kip's most prominent father figure and long-suffering tutor in all things mystical.
When he isn't seducing everything from starry eyed bards to repressed princes, pranking knights and infuriating monarchs, Kip can count on Tauvir to be ready and waiting to hound him about continuing his training and returning to proper court society. Kip has mastered some sleight of hand and minor shock spells under Tauvir's tutelage but can hardly sit still long enough to engage in adequate study and tap his full mystic potential. This along with Kip's frequent stumbling into diplomatic minefields is a source of constant headache for Tauvir and maintains Kip's reputation solid as the proverbial black sheep.
