★ HISTORY:

☆ Moby was born into the Kingsley family, a family that can trace its roots back to the first humans in the realm.
☆ The Kingsley family is capable of magic; Moby isn't.
☆ Moby spent most of his early life in a boarding school just south of Taranya.
☆ He made friends there to make up for his distant family.
☆ His mother died when he was six.
☆ Moby's kleptomania kicked in a year after that.
☆ At age ten he was put through rigorous magic training only to find that he was incapable of casting any spells.
☆ His father more or less gave up on him after that.
☆ He finished school at age fifteen like all the other students and was forced into training to become a guard.
☆ Moby tried to run away but was caught.
☆ His father died two years after he started training to become a guard.
☆ He ran away again, this time successfully.
☆ Moby started life in the delta where he met Lae, his best friend and partner-in-crime.
☆ They met Darius, an elder thief who took them under his wing after some convincing on Lae's part.
☆ They trained for three years with Darius.
☆ Before he was set to retire, Darius proposed one final mission: stealing from the Ehlm family, a rich and famous family in Plagis.
☆ Everything went wrong; someone leaked information to the Ehlm family and they were ambushed.
☆ Lae escaped but several of the clan members including Darius were killed.
☆ Moby ended up in a fight with the Ehlm family's heir, Marquis.
☆ Marquis was a better fighter and ended up scarring Moby's cheek with a well-placed attack.
☆ Marquis recognized Moby (he was a year younger than Moby and in the same school) and had him captured.
☆ Moby was put on trial in Taranya for attempting to steal from the Ehlm family and assassinate the heir (which obviously wasn't true).
☆ His brother Richard and sister Celia denied knowing him at all and Moby was thrown back in jail to await sentencing.
☆ Lae and several others freed him and they fled to the delta.
☆ They laid low for quite some time until Moby finally started heading thieving missions again in the capital.
☆ He has his eyes set on the princess' crown, which supposedly makes anyone who wears it capable of using all six elements.
☆ Moby plans to steal the crown and use it for himself if that's true.

★ PERSONALITY:

☆ Moby is very laid-back in almost all situations.
☆ He never takes things seriously until it's too late.
☆ His views on life are "it's short, live it up while you can."
☆ He's a kleptomaniac and loves stealing things from people, even if they're just little, inconsequential things.
☆ Moby's also a masochist and gets pleasure from stinging pain, such as cuts.
☆ He's very embarrassed by his scars, but pretends he's not.
☆ Moby is very shallow; appearances are the most important things, after all!
☆ He loves flirting, mostly with women but he'll flirt with good-looking guys (or he'll flirt just to fluster uptight people).
☆ He's very playful and friendly, especially with kids.
☆ Moby is not very organized and tends to hoard things.
☆ He's over-confident in everything that he does.
☆ He's terrified of death and heights, and hates being imprisoned.
