While Jinx may never be more than a mediocre thief at best, he has refined a style of dealing with people that is unequaled. From his upbringing, Jinx has learned that it's a lot easier to convince someone to open their door for you, than to wait for them to fall asleep, pick the lock, and sneak around looking for some kind of loot.

Homeland- Gaia
History:
Gaia is the product of the most intensive magic training system on the planet. Ever since, at a young age, Gaia had shown near-impossible talent that the town elders couldn't ignore. The Gaian council decided on a radical new method of training. After the aptitude test proved that Gaia's talent for black magic was marginal, the three top white mages of the town took young Gaia to an isolated encampment in the southern section of the Gaia valley, for non-stop training for ten years. She was almost immediatly granted eldership in the council of Gaia, and in recognition of her fantastic accomplishment, she was renamed after the town.
The side-effects of the training have yet to be determined.
Homeland- Crescent Lake
History:
Not much is publicly known about Dark, But there's a few secrets that certain people know. Dark was a student at the world famous Crescent Lake Black Mage Acadamy, and was a fairly poor student. His talent and capability were overshadowed by his cockiness and anger. He positively hated being the worst student in class, and was willing to do anything to improve his position. He devised a method that allowed him to trade a portion of his sanity in exchange for a massive burst of power.
After his shocking and rapid rise to the top of his class, he lost control of a particularly powerful spell in front of his class. In a fit of anger, he lashed out, and severely injured a few students. Soon after, the professors found out his secret, and expelled him. Soon after, he felt forced to learn how to control himself. He seems to have overdone it, and hardly talks at all now.
