[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 3080951, member: 35788"] [b]Semeion Betws[/b] [U]Background[/U] Semeion Betws grew up on the streets of Reignsburg. As he grew, he found that he had an innate love for magic. As he would run about the streets as a child, he found that he could entertain adults with his unusual talents of making objects appear in new and fascinating ways.
