There isn't really much of a story behind Callisto, he is a (a)typical bartender that knows how to take care of himself whether it is wits, finance, or if things gets rowdy. He is the owner and tender of the Lucky Paw tavern, always willing to serve drinks (though will cut you off if he sees you had too much), an ear, or even an advice. However, behind this rather upbeat and plucky bartender lies some odd phenomenon. His customers sometime end up with a good turn of luck. Conversely, those that try to pick a fight (or forcefully charm) in the bar or even Callisto himself tends to find themselves in a string of misfortune, even mid battle, creating much superstition about him. He simply dismisses it with a shrug.
Callisto is a pretty small guy, only standing 5'2". He has black hair with a pair of black cat ears peeking from the top. His eyes of a shade of grey-blue with his bang usually covering over one eye. Often he wears a black jacket, black choker, black gloves, matching leather pants, and boots. Despite his leather and "bad-ass look", he is a pretty laid back guy and rare worries about anything, often just taking things in strides and going with the flow.
Passive:Black Cat- Whether it is due to subtle actions, skills, or just plain bad luck. Things tend to go wrong whenever people try to fight Callisto. Conversely, things seems to go better than expected for him and anyone he considers a friend. People accuse him of witchcraft but he simply shrugs and says it’s Karma (despite that he isn’t exactly a saint).
If an enemy rolls an attack with the number with a 9, they must make a successful roll or their action is degraded. Multi-hit attacks are mechanically separate for Black Cat (rolling a failed 9 will not cancel the entire attack if it crit fails, what comes before will occur before the crit fail occurs).
Any time Callisto rolls a 1, make a roll. A success turns will upgrade his action.
If Callisto rolls a 19 or 91 in an attack, the attack automatically crits regardless of any other factor.
Note: Upgrade or degraded action to slide back or forth along these result.
Critical Fail - Fail - Success - Critical Success
This means Fail is upgraded will be success and a Fail is degraded to a Critical Fail

Trick Play- Callisto doesn’t always lead off with an attack. Sometimes, he throws fake outs to cause the enemy’s defense to get triggered. This intent exploits this reflex to force enemies into an accident after they get hit with a jab afterwards.

Macavity- While looking to be a simple roundhouse, a closer observation will note that there is a black aura that briefly surrounds him as he performs the kick. This causes the attack to become cursed, enervating the target and making them more prone to accidents.

Broken Mirror- For some reason, he swings a hand mirror at the enemies which shatters on impact. Why he always have a mirror at hand or why he is using one in the first place is a mystery but it does lead to some rather superstitious whispering of him.

Pinwheel (channeling)- Callisto starts to break dance around the field and ends up spinning around like a hyperactive feline top. The move seems rather spontaneous and odd to do in a battle but anyone that tries to attack him finds that they are going to get pummeled by all 4 limbs from a spinning dancing cat.

If he rolls a 1, getting hit by Pinwheel will interrupt enemy attack.
Misfortune Absorbtion- Callisto draws a sign in the air briefly. Nothing appears to happen but he takes the bad luck and misfortune of others into himself. Perhaps this is where the myth of the black cat around him is from?
