Phantom Thief Quest [Dropped]

[x] 65
[x] Spotlights and showmanship
[x] Calligraphy brush

Razzle Frazzle, not giving me Alerts like mods tagging me to tell me that I shouldn't be doing the thing I've stopped doing does, grumble grumble...
 
Can someone give me a tally? Age/skill/style/item, all separate, and I'll work out a small bonus for whoever does it. Maybe a skill boost or a re-roll.

Oh man, whoever does it really deserves that bonus, since the tally software only counts the user's latest vote for the specified pages. Thus overwriting previous votes from the same user. I guess it's only 5 pages though. ^_^

That's why I figured a reward might be necessary. I have work to do at home as well, and can't be bothered to count votes. x_x
 
Well. Damn.

OKAY, so the winning age is close (AGAIN), but I can't exactly do another vote-off with only two options still, so I'm going with the winning 13 years old. Wit is accepted as well. Shadows and secrecy is set in general, although you CAN change your methods later on, if you decide to go a more Kaitou Kid route. Calligraphy brush is set!

Writin'.

"Wow," you say. "Thanks. It's just what I always wanted."

Your grandmother gives a smile that stretches her many wrinkles, beaming down at you as she reaches out to pinch your cheek. Again. "This has been handed down the family for generations," she warbles, to the proud nods of your parents nearby. "One of the first sumi-e brushes your great-great-great-great-great grandfather made in Kumano! Look, even the original raccoon hair is nearly perfect!"

Looking down at the brush (raccoon hair? Seriously?), it really does look to be in good condition for something so... really freakin' old. Oh, well. She's a pretty good grandma all told, even if your thirteenth birthday present is a little... weird.

"Thanks, granny!" You smile back up at her, making sure your eyes are wide and grateful. "That's really cool! I'll take good care of it."

She seems happy enough with that - you close the wooden presentation box carefully, and set it with the other gifts; clothing, toys and the like; though your favourite one, the things you'd begged your parents for, based on your main hobby, was
[ ] a beginner's oil painting set.
[ ] a thick how-to guide of magic tricks.
[ ] a massive chemistry set.
[ ] a gift voucher for your favourite costume/cosplay website.
[ ] write-in (some may not be allowed).

Yeah, maybe it was an unusual hobby for your age - but you got away with it, thanks to
[ ] being the star of your grade, popular with everyone.
[ ] being practically invisible - no-one except your family really notices you, let alone cares
[ ] keeping it totally secret and out of your average and public life.
[ ] ... actually no, you're kind of the outcast weirdo.

Smiling your way through the rest of the day and escaping as many of your female relatives' cheek pinching and pulling as possible, you heave a quiet sigh of relief when the last of the guests clear out. Your mother smirks at the sound, walking over to neaten your stack of gifts. "It's only once a year you have to put up with them all. A week from now, you'll barely even remember today."

You snort, folding your arms. "Of course I'll remember today! I got presents!"

For some reason, your mother's smirk widens even further. "Tonight might be more memorable," she suggests, shoving a pile of torn gift-wrap at you. "Go throw this away,

Art.
And the practically invisible's there to go with the them. If we're gonna go the boring route, we're gonna go all the way.

Should be the most interesting.

Nah, we're completely normal. We aren't a talented thief or anything.

[X] Akira

Wait, only first name or do we need to give a last name too?

A surprisingly tough choice. But I'm too amused by the idea of the MC being a 13-year-old ball of contradictions, especially when combined with the winning options from previous votes. 'Tis only proper for a teenager. ^_^

Ahhhhhh, difficult choice is difficult.

Charisma is best trait.
