Shopkeeper is an otherworldly merchant of magical items.

Appearance

Shopkeeper is often formally dressed and well put-together, valuing his outward appearance. His clothes are never stained nor wrinkled. He wears a dark grey three-piece suit with black dress shoes, white gloves, and a silver puff tie. In addition, he also wears an enchanted, hooded, two-colored cloak with brass-like trim. The cloak itself is decorated in ornate and exotic patterns, clearly made of a high-quality fabric unlike anything on Earth. The hood of his cloak almost always conceals the entirety of his face in a black shadow, with only his fuschia-tinted glasses visible. His belt is made of a brass-colored metal, with a large, purple, disk-shaped gemstone at the buckle. Sometimes, leather pouches with varying designs can be seen lining his belt and the inside of his cloak.

As an interdimensional traveler, there is much debate as to whether he's human, a magical being, or merely a sentient amalgam of clothing. There are no present decisive reports on his biological identity or facial appearance.

Abilities

Shopkeeper seems to possess a variety of magical abilities.

Arcane Innocuity is his most widely-used ability. This masks his presence and makes him difficult to detect. While not invisible, Shopkeeper tends to easily disappear around corners, blend into crowds, or fade into shadows. It seems to take a considerable amount of effort by a veteran magic user to detect him when he doesn't wish to be seen. He often uses this ability to make unannounced appearances or exits.

Levitation and Teleportation are his most prominent means of mobility. Shopkeeper has been seen to levitate, and hover at slow speeds. For larger distances, Shopkeeper can teleport. He seems to be able to use these abilities instantly, making him particularly elusive and difficult to track. His teleportation allows him to travel between our dimension and his interdimensional "shop", allowing him to retreat to a safe location at any time. He is only able to teleport himself and that which can fit in his pockets and bags.

Bottomless Pockets is more of a property of his equipment, than an actual ability. The bags and pockets on his person seem to hold far more than their outward size would suggest. In addition, this property seems to nullify the weight of items stored, allowing Shopkeeper to carry his entire inventory wherever he goes. The bags and pockets all seem to be linked to some kind of pocket dimension. All items in his inventory seem accessible from any pocket (provided it can fit through it), and the destruction of the bags and pockets do not render his items inaccessible.

Luminous Arcana describes his personal brand of spellcasting. Though typically a pacifist, Shopkeeper is able to manipulate light and shadow, to heal or harm respectively. He uses these abilities sparingly, often in self-defense, or the in the aid of his business partners. The spells he uses are not difficult to replicate, and many are known cantrips from a variety of schools of magic.
