Suekko Chitose

Suekko Chitose (末っ子千歳, lit Youngest Son Chitose) is a traveling merchant and a capable mage. He is one of the few remaining members of the Chitose Family.

Appearance
A tall skinny man with black hair and blue eyes. Suekko usually wears a blue/black suite with a white shirt underneath that he doesn't have buttoned to the top. He also wears white gloves, a red gemed earing and carries an elaborate sword.

Personality
Suekko has a love for money that makes others think of him as a scrooge, but he's been known to donate large sums to orphanages. He is also charismatic enough that people are willing to buy just about anything he pitches and pay almost any price. No one's ever said that he's come across as a serious, intimidating or powerful man, but once you start trying to haggle with him you won't find a tougher man.

History
He grew up the country of Midi as a nameless child on a farm. The people who raised him treated him like slave labor and when he finally confronted them about it, when he was ten, the told him what his name was. Suekko ran away that night and was picked up by a traveling merchant who agreed to have him as an apprentice. Two years after than the merchant told him there was nothing left he could teach the boy. Suekko was then sent out to make it on his own and he gave himself the moniker "Merchant Dragon" so he could function in normal society and still feel some connection to his family name. Suekko has become well known in just about every city and town all over Earth Land and people flocking to the towns he's in just to view his wares.

He obtained the Arachne Blade, his sword, in a trade for a few days worth of food. When he got it, the blade was so rusted and dull that it seemed like a worthless hunk of metal, but after days of polishing and sharpening it was revealed to be a useful and deadly weapon. The man who traded it to him thought he had ripped Suekko off, but Suekko obviously got the better end of the deal.

Equipment
Storage Bag: A special bag Suekko carries that stores all of the items he sells.

Arachne Blade (アラクネブレード, Arakuneburēdo): the sword Suekko weilds. It's called this due to the hand guard, which looks like a spider and it has an intricate design etched into the blade near the point. It is also rumored that those cut by Arachne Blade will be poisoned and rendered immoble.

Wares
Suekko's wares range from small trinkets to large pieces of furniture. Everything is stored in a special bag that functions like Requip Magic. The prices for his wares are as varied as the items themselves so he gets business from just about every spectrem of the social ladder. He also acts as a pawn shop and an auction house at times to get new items and increase business.

He's so skilled at selling his items that he's even talked customers into paying more than his asking price. Everytime he moves on from the town he had been in, he leaves with more money than he arrived with.

Magic and Abilities
Master Swordsman: As a member of the Chitose Family, Suekko is naturally skilled in the use of a blade.

Master Salesman: Another perk that came naturally as a Chitose, Suekko is able to sell just about anything he feels like selling.

28 Spells of the Southern Ocean: Suekko's magic which, as the name implies, has only 28 spells. Each spell has a different effect and none of the effects seem even remotely related. Each spell has a number (though not 1-28) but that doesn't indicates the spell's power.
