Creating your Character
Creating your character

Although much of the character skeleton is fairly self explanatory, some of the more mechanical aspects are easier to understand with some explanation, this section will briefly explain some of the concepts and limitations you'll be working with so please give it a quick read before you start working on your character to save yourself any confusion in the future.

First things first, please do not post your character in the thread until they have been approved! When you've made your character, please PM their skeleton to the GMs, that's me,

Rank

In Pergrande where this RP is set, mags are grouped into six different ranks, from E to S, with E rank mages being fresh faced beginners and S ranks being elite veterans. Due to a confluence of OOC and IC factors, Your character can only be either B rank Or E rank, so that we can focus on creating two distinct, fun roleplay experiences. As you play through the RP and complete missions, you'll be able to increase your character's ranks, so you'lll experience the full breadth of the different ranks eventually.

E rank characters will take part in lower stakes, generally more light hearted missions and enjoy the full leveling experience of starting from the bottom and improving their magic and other skills.

B rank characters will be involved in higher stakes, more dramatic action and have access to more potent magic right from the get go while still having room to grow. B rank characters will have a minimum age of 16 and will be more likely to encounter and grapple with darker, more serious situations, although levity and lighthearted scenes are certainly still encouraged.

To begin with, you can create at most one of each kind of character, though this limitation may be revised once the RP is underway and we have a better idea of how things will run.

Attributes
One of the main ways a character's strength can be gauged in this RP is by looking their attributes, a set of six statistics that give an overall impression of their effectiveness in combat. There are six attributes, three physical ones and three magical ones

Strength: A measure of physical, non magical power
Speed: A measure of how quickly one can move and react
Endurance: A measure of one’s stamina and their natural resistance to damage.

Magic Power: A measure of how powerful a character can make a single spell, determining their destructive power and total energy
Ethernano Reserves: A measure of how much ethernano a character can store inside themselves, which determines how much magic they can unleash without rest or some other means of recovery
Finesse: A measure of how well a character can control their magic, which determines how quickly they can cast spells, how accurate their spells are and how well they can control complex or multiple spell effects at once.

When you create your character you will have a varying number of points to allocate among these attributes: E rank mages will have 30 and B rank mages will have 189. This number is known as your combined attribute score and it will be important later on, you can increase your rank by earning more attribute points and raising your combined score up to a certain threshold. These starting totals actually put you halfway to your next rank up, to give you a little boost.

Magic Types & Magic Proficiency

In Fairy Tail magic is divided into distinct types, with most mages specializing in varying numbers. Some mages rely solely on only one type of magic, while others have demonstrated proficiency with two or even more. The way we've decided to represent this in our RP is through a simple proficiency system.

A character's mastery of a particular kind of magic is represented by a proficiency level, ranging from 1-6. A higher proficiency level means the character can cast that kind of magic more quickly and efficiently and gain access to more powerful or complex spells. These levels are roughly analogous to the A-S ranks mages are divided into, so a proficiency level of 1 means the mage is roughly as skilled as an E rank mage with that kind of magic and a level of six means the mage is capable of using that particular kind of magic at an S rank level.

E rank chars start with one level of proficiency in one kind of magic and there after characters gain two level of proficiency that they can invest to either raise the proficiency of their existing magic or learn an entirely new kind of magic. SO when creating a B rank character you will have seven proficiency levels to distribute.

For balancing reasons there are two light restrictions you'll need to keep in mind while allocating your points.

One: A mage’s physical and magical limitations can’t sustain magic more than one level above their overall rank. A D rank mage can raise their skill level for a magic type up to C rank, but a C r rank mage cannot learn A rank magic, even though they would have enough skill ranks to invest if they only studied one type of magic. This is due to the immense strain high level magic places upon a body that isn’t properly trained.

Two: Mages find that learning too many different kinds of magic at once is impractical, as the differing kinds of magical energy interfere with and disrupt each other. The maximum number of different kinds of magic a mage is determined by their ranks

E rank mages can learn one kind of magic
D rank mages can learn two kinds of magic
C and B rank mages can learn three kinds of magic
A rank mages can learn up to four kinds of magic
And S rank mages can safely learn as many different types of magic as they please, though they will still be limited by the number of proficiency levels they have at their disposal obviously.

As long as you keep within these boundaries you can allocate your proficiency levels however you please, developing your characters

Magical Items & Equipment

As you progress on your journey you may come across or be rewarded with magical items. B ranks, if explained in their backstory, may start with one piece of magical equipment that isn't directly linked to their magic(suchs as celestial keys or holder types would be). Otherwise neither B's nor E's start with any.

In the case of holder/key/item based magics themselves the system is pretty much the same as proficiency. When your related magic begins at E(proficiency 1) you only have one of the required items. For each proficiency you go up in this specific magic, you can gain two more.
For example a celestial key mage would have:
Proficiency 1(E): 1 key
Proficiency 2(D): 3 keys
Proficiency 3 (C): 5 keys
Proficiency 4 (B): 7 keys
Proficiency 5 (A): 9 keys
Proficiency 6 (S): 11 keys
S rank mages can continue to gain more beyond this point, but only as rare story rewards.

Lost/Forbidden Magics

Obvious magics that are completely off the table: anything controlling life or death, mind control and reading, time control, bodily manipulation outside of yourself(bone/blood/etc)

Lost magic is NOT AVAILABLE AT CHARACTER CREATION. You can't, under any circumstances start with Lost magic. They're supposed to be rare, and unlike canon we are going to treat them as such. They may be rewarded incredibly rarely as a story rewards, otherwise neither canon, fanon, nor personal made lost magic is allowed.

Slayer magics do not exist in this AU.

Peregrine Laconia

Aliases: Perry, the Glass Aegis

Gender: Male

Age: 23

Height: 185cm
If most people had to describe Peregrine in a word it would probably be intense. Or serious. Or seriously intense but that's two words. Peregrine is a man of deep convictions; relentless ambitions and boundless energy with which to pursue them. If Peregrine is doing something, it is because he believes it is important, either to him or to the world and if it's important than whatever it is it deserves his full attention and effort. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing right.

This level of dedication and conviction is something Peregrine aspires to instill in his guild members. To some people Mage guilds are a loose collection of freelance mercenaries with no real principles, or a rowdy and unpredictable rabble of loose cannons. Peregrine refuses to believe this. Mages are powerful after all and with power comes the responsibility to protect those without power and to show the inexperienced or ignorant what kind of person they should aspire to be. On top of this, mage work is dangerous; any slight misstep can mean the difference between life and death for a mage or their comrades.

Although he has high standards for himself and his guild and can be a strict taskmaster, Peregrine is surprisingly patient with those who fall short of the mark as long as they keep trying to improve. Peregrine would be the first to tell you of his own setbacks and shortcomings after all, justice and perfection are life long journeys not easily attained. Even for those who stray to the point of outright evil, Peregrine believes atonement is waiting for those who put in the effort to redeem themselves, that doesn't mean he'll go easy on them before that though.

Peregrine was born somewhere in the canal city of Corvaretti and left abandoned in front of a small church. As is customary in the region, the priests of the temple took him in and, along with a small cadre of similarly abandoned children, raised him. Life in the church was modest, the priests subsisted only on the donations of their flock and the children had to supplement their income with various odd jobs. As the eldest of the children, Peregrine found himself thrust into the role of leader and protector, often acting as more of a parent than a sibling to the others. Peregrine thrived in that role however, early on the priests installed in him a sense of duty and care for those weaker than him and he found a great deal of satisfaction in shepherding the younger children.

For church orphans such as Peregrine, there were two occupations they dreamed of. The academically gifted children focused on study to one day be accepted as priests themselves. For those who were physically strong, they dreamed of being taken in by the Order of the Four Kings, an order of knights dedicated to upholding the tenants of the church and protecting the weak. Peregrine was not academically gifted, unfortunately he was not particularly physically gifted either, what he did have was an inordinate amount of determination.

After the other children had gone to bed Peregrine ran laps around the church yard, before they woke up in the morning he would sneak off to watch the city guard perform drills. During the day Peregrine worked whatever manual labor jobs he could get, often alongside adults and in the evening he practiced whatever he had managed to glean from the guards. It finally paid off when Peregrine was seven, he was apprenticed to a prominent knight of the Order, Sir Alistair. Alistair was everything one would think of in a knight; strong, just, kind. Unfortunately he was also incredibly corrupt. Only weeks into Peregrine's apprenticeship he witnessed his mentor taking bribes from a ring of bandits to look the other way while they preyed on travelers. Although Peregrine played dumb, he was able to gather evidence in the form of a seal belonging to one of the dead merchants and ran on foot through the night to reach the order's headquarters, where he promptly collapsed.

An investigation was launched by Alistair's superiors and they were able to uncover evidence of his corruption, stripping him of his title and imprisoning him. As for Peregrine however there was a problem, although his behavior had been exemplary for an apprentice, none of the knights really wanted an apprentice who would be watching them like a hawk to report any misdeeds, although none of them were corrupt to the extent that Alistair had been they all had secrets of their own. With no one willing to take him on, Peregrine's dreams of knighthood were finished, his apprenticeship permanently suspended. The knight who lead the investigation into Alistair's activities, a Sir Aldricht, took pity on the boy and arranged for the master of a prominent magic guild, the Grey Sparrows, to take him in.

The Grey Sparrows were a far cry from holy knights. They were rowdy, undisciplined and more or less did whatever the hell they wanted instead of conforming to a rigid set of regulations and holy tenets. But the sparrows were welcoming to Peregrine and they helped people, so although he didn't know a jot about magic he found himself becoming comfortable there, even striking up a friendly rivalry with a boy his own age, Adellon Thrace.

Perhaps...friendly might be not be the most accurate word, to begin with at least. Peregrine had had the path of a knight closed off to him, so he was determined to succeed as a mage and Adellon, a young prodigy, inevitably came to symbolize that success, so keeping up with him or beating him became something of a fixation to Peregrine, he even chose to study glass magic partly because it formed a kind of symbolic opposite to Adellon's ink magic. Glass was transparent where ink was murky, solid where ink was liquid. Eventually proximity and forced cooperation wore the rough edges off their rivalry and it became more friendly, the two of them even became a rather successful team and completed many difficult missions together during their teen years.

This culminated in Peregrine and Adellon's first S ranked mission, an investigation into the activities of a cult in a the neighboring country of Bellum. Sadly the mission went terribly awry; their S ranked partner perished, Adellon was terribly burned and Peregrine walked away with his image of his own guild permanently tarnished. Although he rarely speaks of it, Peregrine could never help but to compare it to his earlier experience with the order of the four kings; he had seen the darker side of an organization he had admired and been disillusioned.

Peregrine left the Grey Sparrows after that, wondering somewhat aimlessly for a few years, while in the back of his mind an idea brewed. If there was no group that could live up to his standards then Peregrine would simply make his own, a mage guild that would stand above all others as a shining example of strength and justice. The idea really began to take shape when he encountered Aurelia Chekov, a talented former soldier who Peregrine considered to be wasting her immense potential. He pestered her into signing on as his second in command and, with the savings he had accrued from his solo missions brought the land and licenses necessary to finally begin his dream.

Character Strengths

Determined: If Peregrine has decided that something needs to be done, than one way or the other it's going to get done, he isn't the kind of person to give up or be turned away.

Straightforward: Peregrine won't waste time overthinking things or coming up with complicated schemes, he'll quickly identify the simplest way to get things done and then jump right into doing it, using the reliable methods and tools he's honed and become accustomed to.

Athletic: Peregrine has been training his body since he was a child and now most physical activities come to him naturally. Exercise is embedded into his daily routine, allowing him to keep in shape and push his physical limits even higher over time.

Compassionate: Despite his stern exterior, Peregrine is pretty soft on the outside, if anyone is in need or danger he'll be the first to come to their aid.

Disciplined: As strict as Peregrine is, he is doubly so on himself, he has no problem weathering hardship or pushing himself through a difficult routine.

Character Flaws

Stubborn: Part of being determined is that Peregrine is unfortunately not that great at realizing when it's time to switch strategies or try somebody else's ideas.

Obvious: Peregrine is not a very subtle person. His magic is not that subtle, his behavior is not that subtle and anyone within shouting range of him will tell you his voice isn't very subtle either. If it comes down to any kind of stealth or deception, Peregrine is better off delegating that to someone else.

Strict: Peregrine means well, but he is tough on people, constantly pushing them to exceed their limits and coming down on any slip ups or mistakes. This rubs a lot of people the wrong way, especially mages who tend to be a little rowdier and independently minded than most people.

Competitive: Peregrine is naturally competitive, he hates to lose and it's not that hard to bait or distract him with notions of competing or battling. It's particularly bad in relation to Adellon Thrace, Peregrine's long time rival, and he frequently gets side tracked one upping his counterpart.

Perfectionist: Why be good enough when you can be perfect? Peregrine sometimes loses track of the bigger picture wanting every little detail to be just so and he can generate a lot of resentment trying to get people to go along with his finnicky standards.

Glass Manipulation

Magic Ability: This form of magic allows the user to manipulate existing sources of glass and even turn their body into glass.

Advantages: This magic allows one to manipulate any pre existing source of glass, enhancing its natural qualities and moving it around at will, more advanced users can even transmute their own body into glass to benefit more directly from its qualities. Glass is both hard and sharp so it has useful qualities for offensive and defensive uses. Glass is also resistant to electricity and heat which are not altogether uncommon for a mage to encounter. Most uniquely, glass can be highly transparent, allowing structures made of glass to be hard to see and enabling it to interact with light in various ways, reflecting or refracting it. Being able to turn one's body into glass allows for oneself to exhibit all of these useful properties.

Disadvantages: Glass is rarely available in its molten form and is quite brittle and hard, if its raw toughness can be overwhelmed than it often tends to shatter, potentially leaving the user disadvantaged. Compared to other mediums of magic glass is more difficult to reshape on the fly. In particular, when one turns their own body into glass they greatly inhibit their own flexibility and range of movement and they aren't intangible in the way someone turning themselves into a liquid of some kind might be. Glass is also rarely found in the natural environment, so outside of towns and cities a glass manipulator often has to make do with whatever glass they can produce or carry themselves.

Proficiency: 6

Glass Make magic

Magic Ability: A kind of molding magic that allows the user to freely create glass in various shapes for various purposes.

Advantages: Peregrine is specialized in static make magic, allowing him to harness the natural hardness and sharpness of glass to make various static structures, often simple barriers or weapons. Because of their transparency it can be difficult for enemies to accurately gauge the location or dimensions of these structures and its possible to lay all kinds of cunning traps or ambushes with them, although such tactics do not necessarily come naturally to Peregrine.

Disadvantages: As mentioned above, Glass is not very easy to reshape after it has been formed , so it lacks some of the flexibility of other mediums and dynamic molding is usually not possible unless one has access to enough heat to melt it into a liquid or molten form. As mentioned above, molded glass remains potentially brittle putting the user at a disadvantage if their constructs are shattered all at once.

Proficiency: 3
Combat Equipment:
Shard Daggers X10: glass throwing daggers Peregrine made himself. Because they are made of especially pure glass their toughness and transparency are higher than normal, making them potent surprise attacks. Peregrine keeps them hidden in his coat

Non-Combat Equipment:
Order of the Four Kings Ring: A ring given to trainees of the holy order of the Four Kings, a knightly order affiliated with the church of Vasillica. The ring does not denote full membership, but retaining one is usually indicative of some level of goodwill between the order and the bearer.

Magical Items:

Enenra: Enenra: A black katana made of volcanic obsidian, its durability has been magically enhanced to alleviate the fragility a blade made of obsidian would have while still allowing its natural sharpness to shine through. If the blade is damaged or shattered it can be reformed by channeling mana into it. Because obsidian is a kind of glass, it interacts very nicely with Peregrine's magic

Armandio's Timepieces: A collection of five, identical, silver pocket watches. The pocket watches are always in sync with each other and accurate to the true time in their current timezone down to the microsecond. Their most useful feature however is the elaborate, clockwork display built into their cover, which moves to display the positions of all five watches relative to each other.

Adellon P. Thrace

Aliases: Dell (by those who have known him since his youth), The Stygian Sage, The Black Librarian

Gender: Male

Age: 23

Height: 5' 11" (180.34 cm)
Adellon is an odd one to most people's standards. Nigh completely lacking interest in wealth for his own personal use outside the occasional rare tome, he pours nearly all of his wealth and resources into his guild. He did this at his prior guild as well, much to the surprise of the members. He only seems to keep enough funds in his savings for food, travel for missions, and in case of emergency. Even his clothes, which are of fine quality and make, are not something he goes out of his way to purchase himself. On the off chance he buys clothes they are cheap and simple, and only retains a sharp look due to presents from old guild members and a tailor he once protected.

He has a predisposition, some jokingly say obsession, with things being clean and organized. This shows in his appearance, even in more casual wear, and around his guild. Yet many would assume, due to the constant circles under his eyes, and his lax posture, that he is lazy and sleeping consistently. This however is from his insomnia, which rather than try yet another fringe treatment for he has simply embraced. He works well into the night while most others are resting, cleaning and managing guild affairs with gusto. For while he is in a nigh perpetual state of exhaustion, he is a chipper individual. So long as one does not attempt to wake him without reason....

A nurturing and caring individual, even if his snark does not always convey as such, Adellon has an extreme disposition to helping those in need even more than the average mage. This goes doubly and triply for children, who he sees as the bright future of the world. It is not uncommon to find him surrounded by children fascinated by his magic or his tales of monsters and beautiful vistas. He adores teaching, which is not limited just to children, and will gladly set aside time to tutor or train someone whether it be reading comprehension or advanced magical applications. He does this seemingly even to his own detriment. Many times was he supposed to seek out a new mission or conduct his own training, but put it aside to help another. This is in fact one of the reasons he has not yet obtained S rank.

Adellon is viciously opposed to criminal activity and sadistic tendencies. Should his own members show signs of such predisposition or activities he will come down on them hard, and should they not desist eject them from his guild or turn them over to the authorities himself. While he doesn't consider killing in open combat as criminal murder, he generally avoids such missions to avoid staining his psyche. He used to leave such missions to the more.... inclined members of his original guild, the Grey Sparrows. However, now running his own guild he has considered that should such missions come up he may have to take them to prevent more impressionable members from being forced to. The thought weighs on him regardless.

Prideful and competitive, Adellon adores that magic seems to come to him so easily with his training. He takes great pride in being vaunted as a child prodigy and up and coming guild master. His competitive nature has him at frequent odds with his childhood rival, Peregrine, at almost all times. They are often see as.... immature in their rivalry by those around them. Yet none can say their constant efforts to outdo each other has done anything less than pushed them both to ever greater heights. While neither would openly say such, Adellon holds great respect for Peregrine and his efforts. Even if his methods are often.... inexplicable to Adellon.

Adellon was born in Desierto to a freelancing mage and an unknown civilian woman. To his father's despair Adellon's mother died during childbirth. Unable to stand remaining where they were together, and now responsible for a newborn, his father took up an old offer. He moved to Pergrande and joined the rising guild known as the Grey Sparrow's, who were looking to be number one in the country soon. His father was able to make more than enough money here to support young Adellon, and even had a support network when he had to leave on missions. Young Adellon was in fact raised more communally than he was solely by his father, as the guild members taught him a myriad of information while his father was away. In fact this was what sparked Adellon's fascination with learning!

At approximately five years of age his father was able to teach Adellon his first Ink Manipulation spell. Though this surprised few, as Adellon seemed to be a prodigious youth, it did surprise Adellon himself. He was absolutely absorbed into practicing and learning about the magic his father had taught him and constantly pestered him for more lessons. His father obliged as much as he could between missions, but only if Adellon promised to keep up with his general studies when he was away. Adellon more than took to this arrangement, and progressed rapidly over the course of the next couple years. Through intense study and training, and thanks to his seemingly astonishing able to grow and learn, Adellon became a D rank mage at the age of seven!

As Adellon started to help out with easy, low ranking missions he discovered a love for helping people. Whenever someone thanked him for finding their pet or getting a rare flower or something of the like he felt good. He devoted as much time as he could to helping the community and to the shock of his guild, donated most or all of his rewards to the guild itself or local places of need such as the orphanage. He would just smile and shrug when asked why he would do that, claiming that there was little he wanted for himself. The guild members, and his father, were proud of the young boy they had seemingly raised into a bright, kind young man. However, they were also distraught with the thought he would never get due reward for his actions. As such they, and much of the local community, would give him generous gifts or the like knowing that he wouldn't be able to bring himself to refuse or give them away.

One day, on one of his usual visits to the public library, Adellon was perusing the mage only section when he came across a dusty pair of tomes. While he had attempted practicing many kinds of magic with other guild members, he had no success in doing much beyond the most basic of spells. They just didn't seem to have an affinity with him the way Ink Manipulation did. He was told that it was fine, one day he would find other magic that he would excel at, that everyone had natural proclivities towards certain magic. Well that day he found his second magic in that tome. As he opened it and scanned the pages he broke out into a smile. Ink Make Magic was detailed on the pages within and he was ecstatic about it. In a rare act, he did not just check these books out, he purchased them wholesale and immediately went about reading them.

As he began to work his way through the outlined lessons and details in the book, his eighth birthday came and went without much notice. No, the event a scant few months following that was what made a splash. A bright young man joined their guild. A boy the same age as Adellon, who's name was Peregrine Laconia. Adellon attempted to befriend the young man, and to his initial belief succeeded. However, over time it would become clear that Peregrine saw it more as a rivalry. This would spark a... new feeling in Adellon. A feeling of pride and competitiveness he had yet to be offered. After all, no other child in the city his age or even a few years older was able to compete with his prodigious ability. Yet here came someone his own age, with his own prodigious talents. Their rivalry became well known, and it spurred them both on in the years to come.

At thirteen they both became the guild's youngest B rank members, and started their own teams. Their competitions would become well known beyond the borders of their city. Their constant attempts to outdo each other, while also being driven by helping others, would lead to then raising both their own status amongst the general populace. Who keep in mind already had a positive view of the Grey Sparrow's. This went on for a number of years. Each gained strength, renown, and a list of owed favors. As time went on their competitive nature didn't dwindle, but it did seem to cool. They came to rely on each other more directly, even if neither verbally admitted it. This lead to a string of missions where they worked solely together from seventeen to nineteen.

They were handpicked at this time to go on a joint S rank mission, which was unusual. While they had both been A rank for a short time, and showed vast skill, power, and intelligence, they were rather young and green for such a mission. Regardless they were assigned to the mission to stop a dark cult involved in kidnapping in the neighboring country of Bellum. They were ecstatic to begin this mission and show they had what it took to be on the fast track for S class. Unfortunately the mission did not go as planned. In fact it went horribly awry. In the process their S rank partner was killed, and Adellon was burned rather terribly across the right side of his body. They were forced to return having failed, and they were clearly changed after that.

While they did not speak much for their reasons, they both departed the guild within a year. Adellon used ink to imbue the right side of his body with thick tattoos to cover up the myriad of burn scars, and departed for the edges of the country. Over the next three years from twenty to twenty three, he did numerous small scale missions to build funds and relations. Meanwhile, he would spend numerous hours or days filling out paperwork and trying to make nice with a collection of nobles. Crossing paths several times with a mage named Viridian Lannerly, he came to respect her logical mind and ability to look at a situation free of emotion. As such, when the preparations of the past few years were complete, and he obtained land and his guild hall, he offered her the position of Vice Guildmaster. With that they settled in to the future site of the Void Crow guild, and began preparing for their grand opening and member welcome.

Character Strengths
Eidetic Memory: Anything Adellon has ever read he remembers in perfect clarity. Forever. No exceptions.

Hyper Speed Reader: Adellon can read at an incredibly high speed and still retain all the information. He can finish a couple hundred page book in the space of five to ten minutes.

Highly Organized: Adellon has a penchant for organization and keeping things well managed. Whether it's his missions, guild affairs, or the library he tends to he keeps things pristine.

Cleanliness: Adellon is rather firm about his desire to keep things clean and dust free. Some have made jokes about his need for a maid outfit in fact! Not to his face of course.

Good Cook: Perhaps it's the mix of order and chaos, or the fact many a time you can find recipes in books. Either way Adellon adores and excels at culinary pursuits.

Character Flaws
Prideful: Adellon takes great, great pride in many things. His cooking, his magic, his guild. So much in fact that insults to these can rub him the wrong way rather quickly.

Sarcastic: When faced with rivals, villains, or simply a mouthy guild member Adellon tends to get exceptionally sarcastic. Like CRAAAAZY sarcastic.

Hates Mornings: Adellon absolutely abhors morning time and will let you know it if you wake him early. Death stares, wordless grumbles, and weakly attempted strikes are abundant.

Easily Manipulated Via Books: His love for literature and it's preservation is widely known amongst his own guild mates, and likely beyond their halls. He will fight you, your family, your guild, HELL your whole city if he thinks you're doing harm to a book. Similarly he has been successfully distracted via high quality vintage books.

Insomniac: Somewhat tying into him hating mornings, Adellon has insomnia. As such he often fails to get much sleep if any at night. It's a common sight in the guild to see him roaming the halls or in the library late at night when he can't sleep. It's no wonder he's so grumpy when people wake him!

Ink Manipulation Magic
Magic Ability: Ink Manipulation Magic allows Adellon to manipulate, control, and fight with pre-existing ink as well as use it in relation to his own form.

Advantages: Ink Manipulation allows Adellon to manipulate pre-existing ink, create in raw form from his body, or even turn his body into ink. He can appear to look normal but be using his ink form for passive defense. Anywhere there are books, newspapers, tattoos, or any of the like he can control and use that ink to his desire. In ink form most any form of physical ability is rendered moot as it will simply pass through his liquid body. He can change the solidity, visibility, and color of ink atop this. Paired with Ink Make Adellon is many times more proficient as he has the ability to create ink to use in conjunction with Ink Manipulation. While in ink form he is capable of storing things within himself, increasing the worries of would be attackers who may not know if he was in ink form and what weapons he might be storing within himself. He can sense ink in his immediate area as well, which is great for a variety of reasons.

Disadvantages: Ink Manipulation, and Ink Make, both have several inherent elemental enemies. Fire in enough quantity can evaporate his ink or dry it out if it's only semi-liquid. While it is not initially painful to his ink body form as he can regenerate it, it will force him into a more solid state with enough fire. Electricity will find the ink, which almost always has at least a semi liquid form, a fantastic conductor and poses a severe annoyance. Lastly, water will dilute and even completely wash away his ink in high enough quantity. Atop these three disadvantages, locations where pre-existing ink do not exist demand he supply his own if he wishes to fight, meaning his ideal environments are usually urban in nature. In ink form he can only store within himself a total amount of things equal to the volume of his bodies current size.

Proficiency: 5

Ink Make Magic
Magic Ability: Ink Make Magic allows Adellon to create both static and active constructs from ink as well as generate ink itself.

Advantages: Ink Make magic is rather versatile compared to most maker magics as it's form can be liquid, solid, or other options unlike say an Ice Make mage who cant use water or steam abilities. On top of this, unlike many Make mages Adellon can do both Active and Static Ink Make allowing inanimate and animate constructs alike to be created. Wall or sword or bird or monster, Adellon can make all and more. Additionally, being paired with Ink Manipulation magic multiplies the power and versatility of this magic as it allows the current form of the ink to be wildly changed in rapid order and allows him to create his constructs from any ink source, direct contact or no.

Disadvantages: See Ink Manipulation disadvantages

Proficiency: 4
Combat Equipment: Adellon has any number of books on his person at all times which allow him a supply of ink without resorting to creating it. Beyond this he carries a simple switchblade, as he believes in being prepared should he ever be separated from the ability to use magic.

Non-Combat Equipment: Adellon carries a brief case which he uses to carry things in when not using his ink form(and also to throw people off when he is). Beyond that he tends to have the aforementioned books, but to read them as well, a notebook, a folder to store identification, documentation, and mission papers, a few boxes of matches, and a flask.

Magical Items:
Sight Beyond: A pair of magic binoculars gifted to Adellon by a magic artificer he saved during an S class mission. They zoom in or out based on their users desire. They can closely detail objects up to 100 miles away at maximum power, and have thermal and night vision.

Guild Roster Tome: A book taken from a foreign Dark Mage. It magically updates to show all legal guild mages sorted by Guild and in alphabetical order. It gives a picture, rank, a few notes on the person, and their magic. Does not detail freelance, dark guild, or unofficial guild mages.

Aurelia R. Chekhov

Aliases: The Frozen Death(Iceberg)

Gender: Female

Age: ???

Height: 5 ft 4 in (162.5 cm)
Aurelia is a bit of a reserved individual when it comes to showing genuine emotion most of the time. She tends to hold a relatively neutral expression or a cool smile that other adults seem to find unsettling. The smile seems to gain genuine warmth only around Peregrine individually and children as a whole, which has led to her popularity with the children of Twinbrook. Despite her usual cool mask, many can tell what she's really feeling due to her tendency to use Snow Magic immediately around her when displeased.

An earnest sort (to Peregrine's great pleasure) Aurelia has no issue putting in severe work both of a physical and mental nature. She believes strongly in keeping yourself healthy and works out regularly. While earnest and straightforward, she does not believe in a concept of playing fair. Her preferred method is to ambush or surprise any opponent in any situation. She is not fond of being involved direct open combat or anything resembling a fair fight. She will attach someone who is down, looking the other way, etc.

Something else many find unsettling is she is a woman of startlingly few words. She won't say anymore than necessary, if "yes" will suffice it does. She's not one to talk about herself and will become swiftly irritated if prodded. The rare times she speaks at length or about her own past it tends to leave impact with those privy to her words. The most Peregrine himself has heard her speak consecutively since they met was four full sentences.

Born and raised in Iceberg, Aurelia initially grew up in a poor settlement in the middle of two territories engaged in civil war. As such she grew up without knowing much peace even in the best of times. While relatively young one side of the war commenced a bombardment on the village as they assumed it held spies from the opposing side. The bombardment resulted in the death of Aurelia's parents and the destruction of her home. Heart broken and homeless, Aurelia initially tried to find someone in the village who would care for her. She was met with blank or unflinching stares and found no solace in her home village. The young girl was intent on survival regardless and struck out into the wilderness on her own.

Life was a constant struggle to survive for a long time, but things became easier when she began to exhibit magical ability with snow. Initially this allowed her an advantage in hunting food or hiding from predators. Later however she took to using it to rob those who passed through the woods she had settled in. Eventually however she was caught by someone with enough magic to deal with her. Rather than kill her however, the man recruited her to his squad. A magical military unit on the side opposite those who killed her family years ago. Excited at the prospect of being able to kill those who had forced her into living like an animal, Aurelia threw herself into magical and martial training. The raw tenacity of the young girl surprised her recruiter and his squad.

Over time she grew powerful and gained accolades and renown. She had been taught Requip magic by her commanding officer, and had improved her Snow Magic by leaps and bounds. The combination of the two had led to her being feared by the other side as The Frozen Death. A snowstorm/blizzard would arrive in an area, possibly killing those unprepared, and she would personally kill given targets from the cover of the storm. Her growing infamy and fearmongering of the opposing side, as well as her boosting morale in their own troops, lead to higher ups temporarily pulling her from active duty. She was distraught at the separation from her team, who she'd come to see as her family, but was reassured they were in reserve as well as the unit as a whole was a morale booster.

Unfortunately for Aurelia the higher ups didn't intend to just keep her safe for morale. They offered her the chance to become stronger and when she agreed they began experimenting on her. In truth said experiments had been run prior, and perfected on others. The results were not immediately apparent to her however, despite assurances that things went well. The higher up's returned her to her unit and she simply shrugged off the oddness of their actions. After all, the military had yet to do anything but better her life. Her and her team returned to active duty for a few select missions, and for a time things were fine. Until one day the opposing side made an intense, concentrated strike specifically on Aurelia's squad.

Everyone aside from Aurelia was killed, and she herself was injured severely enough she was sure she was going to die for some time. However, she somehow managed to hide herself away and live. Yet, she felt no more joy at the thought of returning to war. Her new family killed by the same side that took her old one. Demoralized, she instead wandered for what was an unknown amount of time even to her. She ended up passing through several other countries as she did. Her mental and emotional state slowly stabilized, but she couldn't bring herself to use more magic than was absolutely necessary for quite some time. As such her once prestigious magical abilities waned, and she instead was known for her physical talents which she had habitually kept up on over the years.

Eventually while passing through what she later came to know was the Pergrande Kingdom, she met a man known as Peregrine. He sparked something in her for the first time in who knows how long. Reminding her vibrantly of her old commanding officer, she took a liking to him. To her surprise he also took a liking to her....in a manner of speaking. In awe at her physical abilities that approached his despite her "minimal effort" and what he saw as "budding" magical talent, he borderline demanded she become his Vice Guildmaster for the new guild he was starting up. She accepted immediately, to both their surprise. As it turns out it was time for her to find another family.

Character Strengths

Honest: While a woman of few words, she's also a woman of zero lies. She prefers forthright speech, and if she doesn't want to speak the truth she will not speak at all.

Loyal: They say everyone has a price, anyone can be bought and convinced to betray their morals or friends/family. Aurelia can't. She can, will, and has tried to die in loyal service to those she cares about.

Tidy: Aurelia is still in the habit of keeping her belongings and surroundings in military standard cleanliness and organization. Sometimes Peregrine will find she's done this to his own spaces when he wasn't looking.

Minimalistic: Aurelia wants for little in life. She has her purpose, she has her weapons, and she has what few changes of clothes she owns. She buys only what she considers a necessity.

Child Friendly: It surprises everyone, including herself.

Character Flaws

Doesn't Play Fair: While she would call herself pragmatic or an opportunist, most find her methods questionable and unpleasant. She will not hesitate to take a cheap or easy shot when she sees the opportunity.

Intimidating: Outside of children (for some reason) most people find her very off-putting or scary. Maybe it's the lack of emotion showing in her face usually, maybe it's because there's rumors she's killed a number of people.

Undiscerning Eater: Due to how she grew up initially, and that she didn't know to cook food as a child, she has no qualms eating raw or spoiled food. This doesn't lead to health problems anymore for some reason, but it is off-putting to those around her.

Tight Lipped: Aurelia does not like to share information about herself often. Even Peregrine had weaned precious little from her, and he knows better than to share it freely. Prying may result in irritating her to violence.

Nightmares: Aurelia frequently struggles with horrible nightmares. This sometimes prevents her from sleeping well or at all.

Snow Magic
Magic Ability: This magic allows Aurelia to create, manipulate, and control snow.

Advantages: This magic allows the user a rather versatile use of snow up to and including affecting their surrounding environment in a widespread manner. From snowballs to snow storms, the user has a wide array of combat uses. This magic is doubly effective if the natural environment already includes snow or is cool and wet.

Disadvantages: This magic is extremely vulnerable to fire, it's ultimate weakness, as it swiftly melts the snow to water and renders it unusable. Hot or dry environments also lend themselves poorly to this kind of magic as they hinder the user's creation of snow, requiring far more magic to use even rather simple snow magic.

Proficiency: 4

Requip: Armory
Magic Ability: This magic allows Aurelia to store, access, and use a variety of magical guns and ammo from what is effectively a magic pocket dimension. Aurelia refers to said space as her Armory.

Advantages: This magic allows for a swift and varied response to threats big and small, as the user is able to access whichever weapons they have stored at nigh any time and effectively in an instant. The guns are compatible with almost all forms of magical ammo which is part of the intense variability of this magic.

Disadvantages: A major drawback to this magic is that the pocket dimensions are limited in space, so the user has to select which guns and ammo they bring along at any given time. Depending on the gun there is a limit to ammo capacity as well, and some require long reload times. While few and far between, certain guns are completely incompatible with certain ammunition as well. At current Aurelia can only carry five weapons max in her Armory, though she only currently owns two due to theft, damages, and a variety of other reasons.

Proficiency: 3

Aurelia's main weapon, this sniper rifle looks nothing like it originally did. Modded and upgraded constantly by Aurelia, it hosts a variety of functions one would be surprised by. She keeps it looking sleek and uniform via polish, paint, and using the same setting across it's lighting systems. This weapon has the most varied ammo pool, and boasts an impressive range and pinpoint accuracy. Unfortunately due to Aurelia's magical power being a shadow of what it once was she can't use it to even a fraction of it's real ability.

Aurelia's primary side arm, this trusty pistol has seen her through years of conflict. While it has precious few shots, even with her relatively limited magic power it still packs a punch at short to early middle range. As such it's her current first choice. Especially because it's great for pistol whipping people.
Combat Equipment: Aurelia keeps a number of non magical weapons on her whenever she can. Her standard is a military combat knife which is her oldest non-magical possession, and a variety of grenades. Said grenades are all of the non-lethal variety however, instead being tactical such as smoke and flashbangs.

Non-Combat Equipment: A flask, filled with unknown contents.

Viridian Lannerly

Aliases: -

Gender: Female

Age: 20

Height: 165cm
Viridian is a bit of a recluse, despite being the second in command of the Void Crows she prefers to work behind the scenes, quietly administering to paperwork and organizational matters while Adellon handles the more social obligations . In her own way Viridian is very polite and can be very eloquent when she wants to be but rarely minces words and is very restrained with her emotions, often coming across as cold. Her sense of humor tends towards dry, subtle and rather cutting, especially towards people she dislikes. Viridian is exceptionally stubborn on certain issues, though she chooses her battles carefully and is open to reason, pressuring her to do something she thinks is wrong or simply doesn't want to do is pretty much impossible.

Professionally Viridian is adaptable and pragmatic but a bit of perfectionist. She considers each job to be an interesting puzzle and takes an odd delight in covering all the bases, accounting for all eventualities and resolving them in the most efficient way. To Viridian a victory reliant on chance or external factors is as good as a defeat. VIridian considers money and time to be valuable resources and hates wasting them, especially as a result of other people's carelessness and she's sensitive towards collateral damage. Viridian is also a very responsible person; she does her best to meet any obligations and takes her position as vice guildmaster of the Void Crow's very seriously. Although she can seem blunt or cold even to her guildmates she's secretly rather protective of them and they can come to her with any kind of problem, although there's no guarantee of avoiding a scolding if there problem was their own fault.

Underneath all of this beats the heart of a true idealist and an immense sense of quiet pride. Viridian wants to help people, personally and on a world scale. She tends to contextualize suffering and injustice as the product of broad trends and systems and believes in innovation and social reform rather than individual acts of charity. That's not to say she won't help people, she'll go out of her way to assist people who don't have the fortune or strength to help themselves but she won't consider the problem solved until it can't happen to anyone else. Viridian inherited her ideals and her magic from her Father and holds them close to her heart. Insulting them is great way to deeply offend her, Viridian isn't likely to start a fight or anything over being offended but she won't forgive or forget such slights easily.

Viridian was the daughter of Edward Lannerly, an eccentric but successful inventor famous for using magic to rapidly prototype and test his inventions. Edward was motivated by the death of his wife, who succumbed to illness after being unable to reach a hospital in time, and dedicated his life to innovating transportation and machinery in order to improve the living standards of all classes. As a result Edward made very little money from his inventions despite his prolific nature and, aside from investing heavily in her education, Viridian's upbringing was surprisingly humble. Viridian didn't mind.

In fact Viridian loved her childhood. She loved their cramped, little apartment full of books, spare parts and diagrams. She loved going to school and taking extra lessons far more advanced than the standard curriculum from her Father. Most of all Viridian loved helping her Father with his inventing. At first the child was far more of a hindrance then a help, but she picked up the basics of engineering and her father's magic with startling rapidity. Unfortunately as Viridian grew her Father declined. He, like his late wife, had never been the healthiest person around and with all his money going towards his daughter's education there was little left for medication. Slowly, the periods where he was healthy grew shorter and the periods where he was ill grew longer. When Viridian was just eight he passed away.

Viridian's future was uncertain, but at her Father's funeral she was introduced to the man who would take her in, Count Victor Lannerly, her uncle. It turned out that VIridian's father was actually of noble birth and had in fact been next in line to inherit their family title. Edward grew tired of the lavish, idle lifestyle of his family and abdicated, running away to marry a commoner and focus on improving the lives of others with his inventions. Victor took Viridian back to their ancestral manor, intending to raise her as a successor since he had no children of his own. Suddenly Viridian had the best of everything: fancy clothes; brilliant tutors; luxurious furniture and silk sheets. All of it was hollow however. More than anything else Viridian wanted to continue her father's legacy, so three years after his death she followed in his footsteps and ran away.

Viridian roamed the countryside of Pergrande, protecting herself with the magic she learned from her father and paying her way by crafting useful machines for farmers and the like. Viridian was never able to stay too long in one place, her uncle was determined to drag her back and have her succeed him and repeatedly dispatched hired thugs or mages to track her down. At first Viridian was forced to flee and hide from her pursuers, but as she refined her magic she was able to chase them off. That situation came to a head when the Count splurged on an S rank mage, whom Viridian only drove off thanks tot he timely intervention of Adellon Thrace: a traveling mage Viridian had met and worked with enough times to acquire a grudging respect for. Not long after that, Adellon shared with Viridian his plans to start a guild and offered her the position of vice guildmaster. Partly because it seemed like a good way to help people with her magic and partly because she was certain Thrace would get himself in over his head without someone more logical around to keep him in check; she accepted.

Character Strengths

Deeply Principled: Viridian has a highly developed sense of morality, she'll consider the implications of her actions and those of others and won't act carelessly or be easily swayed from what she considers just, especially when the stakes are high.

Problem Solver: Viridian has a knack for quickly identifying and breaking down problems, addressing them in a logical and efficient manner without wasting time or resources.

Practical: Despite being an idealist Viridian has her feet firmly planted on the ground, she's good at taking into consideration material concerns and messy reality and understands perfectly well how small details can bring an idea that seems good on paper crashing down.

Determined: Viridian is not someone who can be easily intimidated or manipulated, she'll take the most sensible route to her goals but if she decides something needs to happen she won't back down until it happens.

Intellectual: Viridian loves to learn and study and think about things on a deeper level. She can be very insightful and brings to bear a surprising amount of esoteric knowledge.

Gearhead: Viridian has a lot of practical experience with various machines as well as a good understanding of the theory behind their operation. She can operate, fix or quickly diable all sorts of common devices as logn as they don't rely overly on unfamiliar magic.

Character Flaws

Abrasive: Viridian puts people off, sometimes by accident, not uncommonly on purpose. She doesn't really care what people think of her and believe people should have plain facts presented to them in order to make informed decisions. People who expect deference or sugar coating are going to be offended very quickly

Loner: Viridian struggles with relying on or opening up to others, even people she respects or admires. Despite understanding that people need help sometimes and being someone who will help others she has a hard time accepting it for herself and pushes people away even when she could really use some support.

Proud: Viridian has a very strongly defined self image and can't stand to see those aspects of herself that she values such as her magic or her principles disparaged. Although her practical clothing might lead you to believe she doesn't care for appearances she actually cares quite a bit to be seen as practical and sensible and has trouble letting other sides of herself be shown. Viridian also can't stand being patronized or talked down to.

Stubborn: The other side of being determined, even when she's wrong or headed for disaster it's incredibly hard to change Viridian's mind about something, if you can't convince her with logic then you have no hope of emotionally persuading her or threatening her with consequences.

Problem with Authority: Viridian has no problem listening to individuals who she respects but has a very cynical view of people in power as a group and zero patience for people who rely on titles or positions to command respect. She evaluates people before deciding to follow them and if the person who's supposed to be in charge of her doesn't match up to her standards well then they are no longer in charge of her, regardless of what they or anyone else thinks.

Tinker Magic

Magic Ability: Tinker Magic: Tinker magic allows one to assemble and remotely control various contraptions via magic. It's possible to make things such turrets, golems, traps or simple utility items however the magic itself does not provide the components: tinker magic is limited to what can be found at hand or what can be produced so practitioners often choose to study a secondary school of magic that allows them to quickly produce component parts.

Advantages: Tinkers have the advantages of other summoner type mages, namely that they can have their summons fight on their behalf without exposing themselves to risk and they can fight in more than one location at once. Compared to other summons tinker magic is less demanding as the physical form of a contraption is not composed of mana, merely animated by it, it's even possible to design contraptions that rely on external energy or fuel to further remove the burden in terms of magical power. Tinker magic is also quite versatile, it's possible to engineer contraptions for specific purposes and modify. combine or split up existing contraptions on the fly to suit changing conditions. Contraptions are also usually designed in such a way that they can be easily fixed, individual parts can be easily fixed or replaced and it can be difficult to permanently take them out of a fight.

Should the tinker mage desire, they can issue commands to their contraptions and have them function semi autonomously. Although contraptions will still require mana to sustain themselves and tend to be slower and more predictable while operating in this way it can allow the mage to focus their attention elsewhere.

Disadvantages: There's a fundamental limit to how much "stuff" a tinker mage can control at once. More powerful or complex contraptions demand more of the mage's total concentration it demands and complicating factors such as range, or handling multiple contraptions at once intensify the requirements.

Tinkers cannot take control of existing machinery. Though they can utilize existing components the contraption must be assembled through tinker magic to be controlled by it. Anything that can function independently can't simply be incorporated into a contraption, it would have to be completely stripped down to its separate parts and the tinker mage must understand how it operates and how to reassemble it in order control it. Magical items such as enchanted weaponry also do not play very well with tinker magic.

The other major limitation of tinker magic is setup time: It can take a lot of time for a tinker to assemble their most powerful contraptions and even less powerful ones usually require a few seconds which can be easily exploited on the battlefield. In particular tinker mages are vulnerable to ambushes

Proficiency: 3

Iron Make magic

Magic Ability: A kind of molding magic that allows the user to freely create iron in various shapes for various purposes.

Advantages: Because almost any shape can be created this is a very versatile type of magic and the iron produced can be used for other purposes then simple attacks. Iron in particular has several advantages over other kinds of commonly molded substances. Unlike ice or the like iron is fairly permanent; it is relatively sturdy and dense; it conducts heat and electricity very well and can be magnetized easily; in powdered form iron even works as an explosive or fuel source!

Disadvantages: Iron... conducts heat and electricity very well, this can also be a vulnerability in the face of certain magics. Beyond that, iron isn't inherently dangerous, so to actually damage the enemy this magic is usually reliant on blunt force or cutting. Extreme cold can also cause iron to warp which can have implications for precisely manufactured pieces. Iron is also quite heavy so moving it around can be slower or more energy intensive than other substances.

Proficiency: 2

Plastic make

Magic Ability: A kind of molding magic which allows the user to create plastic in various forms and shapes

Advantages: Plastic is an incredibly versatile material: it's very easy to shape and manipulate; it can be elastic; fibrous; brightly colored or transparent; it can be lightweight or surprisingly dense and strong.

Disadvantages: Arguably what plastic has in versatility it loses in raw power. It is not the most durable defensive material, nor the most powerful offensively, it can be vulnerable to heat and other forms of energy .

Proficiency: 2
Combat Equipment:
A large, sturdy wrench that doubles as a melee weapon in a pinch

Non-Combat Equipment:
Viridian wears a watch/compass under her sleeve that her Father made for her. It's extremely accurate and resistant to all sorts of extreme conditions.

Salt Servein

Aliases: Wanna-be Super Mage, Pergrande's Weakest Mage

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Height: 175 cm
Personality: Salt is a young man who feels that he has a lot to prove now that he's considered an E-Rank Mage. Although he's got a tough skin from years of being looked down upon or being mocked, his heart still bears painful scars and a desire to prove them wrong. He's a frugal sort, while most of his pay goes towards the orphanage that raised him, the remainder is usually saved for emergencies and his daily expenditures are kept low by his bartering and haggling. If he didn't have the dreams that he has, Salt would likely be the sort to live a mundane but content life as a normal peasant in the countryside. But unfortunately, the young man set his sights on a star that he couldn't hope to reach no matter how far he stretched his arm out.

Ideals like justice resonate strongly with the young man. Certain crimes, such as human trafficking, are absolutely unforgivable to the young man after having almost fell victim to it years back. Betrayals are another sore point for him, who expects a recriprocal amount of trust and loyalty from others. And when it comes to those who commit acts of evil with good intentions, he can't abide by them even if he agrees with their cause. Salt's justice is an unrelenting vengeful sort that's only matched by his desire to make the world a better place.

When it comes to magic, Salt possesses an almost childlike fascination with it. Whether it's an ally or an enemy, he just really wants to see what sort of unique magic they can use - from spells with devastating effects on the battlefield to commonplace ones that make life a little easier. The prospect of seeing something new is guaranteed to bring a sort of sparkle to the young man's eyes and this interest to understand and maybe even learn the same sort of magic is what helps him fight against those who are far more proficient in magic than him.

Biography: The young man named Salt had his humble beginnings as an abandoned infant found within a salt mine one early morning in the Berillo region. Swaddled in several bundles of cloth but lacking any sort of identification or name, the baby was quickly brought to an orphanage and given the name Salt, simply due to the location he was left at. Out in the sticks, the boy grew up in a nurturing environment - the orphanage itself was fairly small and served more as a a communal family unit than a facility for adoption. The old man in charge of the orphanage was formerly an S-Rank Mage from a Royal Defender Guild in his prime - it was the stories that he often regaled the children with that served as inspiration. Heroic tales and unbelievable adventures to distant parts of the country - the boy who heard these thought that perhaps, if he could become a great and beloved mage, he'd be able to meet the parents he never had.

Salt's childhood was idyllic up until a certain point. The orphanage was targetted by a human trafficking ring. During a midnight raid, the caretaker fought as valiantly as he could but perished while trying to protect his wards. The most magically-inclined of Salt's siblings was crippled during the raid as well. It was only with the timely intervention of a certain mage who happened to be passing by that the plot was foiled. A rather famous mage who was renowned as one of Pergrande's Wizard Saints - Adrian "The Fist" Magnus. As someone who never gave up on his dreams of being a mage despite constantly being informed about his lack of magical prowess, seeing the Fist blow his enemies away with unarmed strikes was nothing short of amazing. Of course, Salt was at a precocious age and didn't realize that the Wizard Saint was thoroughly strengthened by Enhancement Magic - but the image of the Fist would forever be burned into his mind.

Thinking that training would eventually bring him to the same sort of strength he saw the Wizard Saint at, Salt devoted himself to a strict training regimen. He'd travel to the nearby city to read books from the library and pull carts full of their harvest by himself whenever he could. Even as he relentlessly hardened his body and sharpened his mind, the young man never got around to clearing up his misconception of the Fist's power. In spite of his incredibly low magic potential and lack of known spells, Salt aims to surpass his caretaker and become a real breadwinner for the family that allowed him to follow his dreams - as well as possibly uncovering his own past.

Character Strengths

Resolute: No matter how many times life seems to knock Salt down, he keeps on getting back up for another round.

Hard-Worker: Once Salt sets his mind on something, he'll put all his effort into the task at hand. Whether that's something as mundane as physical labot or self-improvement from training, he won't stop still he can't go on.

Optimistic: Even if things aren't going his way, there's always tomorrow. The world's half-full for Salt, who sees happier times as an inevitablity to strive forward for.

Loyal: Whether it's a fellow guild member or a simple promise, Salt is a man of his word. He'll go through hell and back for their sake.

Brains and Brawn: Perhaps surprisingly, Salt's intellect is nothing to scoff at. Training for him encompasses both mind and body - getting through a doorstopper of a text is just as important as pushing his body to the limit.

Character Flaws

Stubborn: The flipside of Salt's unwavering determination is an inability to know just when to stop. Typically, it takes his body shutting down on him for the young man to finally cease whether that's through extreme fatigue or grievous injury.

Vengeful: Part of Salt's drive to become a great mage is a desire to make those who mocked him to eat their words. Likewise, Salt's the sort who won't take any insults directed towards his allies sitting down.

Reckless: What makes Salt dangerous at times is his own ignorance towards the damage he sustains or the inherent risks of fighting as he does. A costly price to pay for a decisive victory is worth it, in his opinion.

Oblivious: It's unclear whether it's willful or blissful, but Salt doesn't seem to understand that even as an E-Rank Mage - most of his peers aren't quite as physically capable as him. Rather, he believes that everyone's just as trained as he is physically.

Grudgeholder: Even if someone's turned over a new leaf or has delivered an apology, Salt never forgets how they've wronged him or others he cares about. As such, it's difficult for him to interact or even be around someone who may have been an enemy at one point even if they truly are repentant.

Jade Evergarden

Aliases:

Gender: Female

Age: 19

Height: 5'5
Jade is a very headstrong and passionate woman. She holds a deep desire to help others, viewing it as part of her responsibility to ensure the well being of others. She has a deep love of life often manifested in her excessive green thumb finding beauty in nature and the world. She tends to always be thinking of new ways she can harness plant life or come up with ways of treating others not only for the good it could do but for a sense of fulfillment in creating something new. She is very willing to socialize not holding back in speaking to someone if she has it set in her mind she should do so. She is quite confident in herself not one to dissuade compliments on her beauty, though she isn't so absorbed in herself to snap back if someone were to call her ugly though expect a pout and a remark back about being rude.

Jade is very ambitious, seeking to make a name for herself in being a talented mage treating others through much of her own means. She can be rather self-righteous at times, in cases being a bit unfair to others in how she might berate them for something that might not of been their fault. Her obsession with her plants can go a bit out of control at times, leading to experimentation that can have... detrimental effects on others as it sometimes escapes from the greenhouse. She can be incredibly stubborn to a fault, not knowing when to back down. She is known to hold grudges against people to the point of having long gotten past an issue simply holding out of her own stubbornness from talking or making up to the person unless she gets nudged to do so. She will often shirk off her mistakes onto something else for minor issues.

Should she fail someone in terms of being able to heal them or help them she tends to take it especially hard putting a heavy burden on herself even if it is not fully her fault. She tends to sulk away when feeling down to her greenhouse feeling wrong to try and confide in others in a time at need despite being very open to being there for others who might need it. Her past having been spared during her capture versus so many others she witnessed having horrible things done to them makes her in some part feel she owes dedicating her life for the sake of others, viewing her own problems to need to be solely dealt with by herself having already received more then she deserved from others beforehand. It is also that horrible past that fuels her need to act should she find someone to be cruely treating others in such horrible ways often allowing it to override her own rationality and act more recklessly.

Jade was born the child in a somewhat unusual family. Her father was Adam Evergarden a mage who had elected to use his talents in order to sell various magical items. He often traveled around in order to sell many of his unique wares often going out for a week at a time to attempt to both peddle his wares as well as coming back with new items or ideas of things to sell in his shop. Her mother was Eve Petaller a herbalist growing and maintaining various plants. While her mother grew many plants for the sake of consumption, she also dabbled in the business of growing many various plants for medical purposes used to treat various ailments.

Her father viewed her as so beautiful trying to woo her right there on the spot. He failed horribly and promised he would one day draw her attention. As he went away on his trips to both sell and come back with new wares he would also bring back some unique item he thought might draw her mother's attention. It had always failed each time with her mother turning the cold shoulder despite finding some amusement in it. One day he returned from the trip empty handed leaving the gift accidentally back at the other town. Not wanting to come there empty handed he had plucked some rather beautiful flowers from a nearby field and gave it to her. She yelled at him for being so careless ripping the flowers out... though it still was a gesture she found endearing. It was nearly four years later and many dates that the two ended up getting married and having Jade.

During her early childhood Jade has fond memories of wandering in one of her mother's greenhouse seeing the various types of plants and flowers blossoming. She always felt as if she had entered some strange alien world every time she entered it taking a great deal of joy going in. She can recall a few times she was scolded for being careless in there by her mother that caused her to quickly learn to be careful as to not hurt the plants. Her father, on the other hand, seemed to always get yelled at and chased out of the garden every time he attempted to bring in some new crazy contraption he found on his trip to help her mother with her gardening. Even at a early age Jade had found a fasination with nature due to her mother spending time studying up on the various plants and learning about it with her mother more then willing to teach her little by little.

At the age of nine Jade had gone with her parents on a trip traveling through Desierto. It wasn't uncommon for her family to go out together on a trip together at least once a year in order for her father to do his business while giving her mother a chance to visit new places to see the various plant life and attempt to bring back any interesting specimens she might be able to find. The trip itself wasn't anywhere near dangerous traveling through what was considered a generally safe area Unfortunately for them that wasn't the case. They were attacked and all taken by a strange group of mages. It was at the hideout that she last saw her parents never to see them again not knowing of their fate as she was taken to be kept with many other young children the group had.

What ensued was what Jade would consider a 'living hell'. She could still recall the screams of pain both distant as well as from the other children. Each day it seemed more and more of the kids would vanish with a few new ones unfortunate enough to join them coming in. The few that came back after being away seemed... different... many not acting the same or being in pain. One day Jade herself became one of those kids being taken in and experimented on only barely remembering it herself the memory to horrible to recall. She could only remember returning to the cell trembling and aching from the horrible experiment they did on her... and she was one of the few lucky ones. It was at that point even as a young child she had pretty much given up not even being able to cry anymore just wishing she would just vanish like the others being one of the very few left. That was when rescue finally came.

A group of Mage infiltrated the place as a full fledged battle ensued. Eventually Jade and the four other children with her were found and taken out by a kind mage who had come to protect them and help take them out as some of the fighting continued. At the end of the day the Guild had managed to beat the Dark Mages ending their operation with many fleeing away in the process with others captured. Unfortunately as the remaining captives were freed her parents were nowhere to be seen. Whether they still lived or had perished... it was a question Jade would never learn of only able to assume the worst.

Jade and the other children were taken back to civilization where they attempted to find any family or relatives which might be able to take the children in. While three of the children were able to find family, two including Jade were left without any known family to return to. Rather then leave the two at the orphanage, the guild decided to take custody over the two. Jade had felt confused and was troubled by all that had happened. While being away from such a hell was a blessing to her, she still was without her parents and the memories of the place haunted her. Still, the guild showed her a great deal of love and over the next two years Jade slowly began to return more to her previous jovial state. She began to realize just how lucky she was in the scheme of things being the small minority of children who managed to escape. It was in part this thought and the memories of her mother that started to spark a desire to do more to help others and feeling a sense of owing it to those who weren't fortunate like her to make their lives better. It was through studies and learning about the Wizard Saint Virginia Takwell that jade ultimately set out to become a Mage using her abilities to help those who are hurt... but most of all she would do it in her own way.

At the age of twelve Jade was already learning a lot beyond what a child of her age would normally cover. She had a great deal of ambition wanting to become a renown Mage able to help those in need and to do it in her own way. She had taken a great deal of inspiration from her mother taking the knowledge of plants she had and expanding on it learning how to use magic revolving around it to only further accelerate her work. It was only a year later what had been an abandoned shed had been turned into a thriving greenhouse... one that did a rather poor job of containing all the plant life she attempted to cultivate inside it. She began to apply her knowledge of plants with that of medicine coming up with at that time more basic though relatively effective ways of using her plants in order to help heal others.

As the years passed Jade had only managed to much further progress her studies becoming much more adapt at her special style of healing magic. Much of her tragic childhood was long suppressed as she had shown herself to be very confident once more in herself developing a small bit of an ego about herself. While the guild she was adopted into still was willing to look out for her, she couldn't help but feel she was simply living under their shadow and in a way wrongfully allowing them to prop her up rather then truly working to earn what she had on her own. In a way they were family to her, but much like a real family there was a time where the child would have to set off to make their own way in the world. Jade left the guild giving heartfelt goodbyes before parting to make her own way in the world. While she was no longer part of the guild, she would always have a place in her heart for them

Set out alone in the world at the age of eighteen, Jade began first by attempting to make a name and money (mostly money), treating those in need. It provided her the basic needs to survive though it wasn't nearly enough to live in luxury. Having a greenhouse of her own and the like was much more expensive for some freelance healer to get anywhere near enough to prosper on. It was pretty clear early on she would have to find a guild, though it was something that for Jade was difficult. She didn't want to just join a large established Guild, she wanted to attempt to make a name for herself something that being part of a large guild would likely end up drowning out her own reputation in doing so... not to mention it felt as if it would in a way betray her old guild who she considered family. To her, she wanted to find a guild that was much more new that she felt worked for her needs.... her rather expensive needs given the amount of space she would need to grow her various plants. Jade continued to work as a freelancer doing what she can to help others as she continued to search for a new place she could call home.

Character Strengths
Caring: Jade shows a good deal of concern for others, wanting to do what she can to help someone out who might be in distress or hurt

Medical Knowledge: Despite her age, jade is quite knowledgeable on medical treatments and problems. She uses this knowledge in combination with her usage of plants to help diagnose and treat wounds or ailments.

Intelligent: Jade isn't some dumb girl as much as her occasional headstrong nature might occasionally get in the way of demonstrating. She is quite a fast learner particularly on biological elements and knowing how to apply said knowledge in ways outside what the source material talks about.

Sociable: She isn't at all one to hesitate wandering up to people and talk with them if she feels inclined to do so. She isn't at all shy to speak up or even attempt to apply some charm if she can to get information.

Resolute: When Jade is set on something she isn't one to give up on it. Even if it is a goal she knows she can't achieve at the moment she will work to find a way to eventually reach it.

Character Flaws
Motherly: Being a healer, its only natural Jade can be a bit protective of others... to the point of being a bit motherly. She will tend to scold people who come in hurt particularly if it is something more serious. If she tells you to get some rest after she has healed you up, you better do so or you will get a firm talking to.

Headstrong: Stubbornness is one of Jade's biggest flaws. While she is often rational and approaches problems in a more careful way, she can often get caught up in a situation if provoked. She has gotten herself in more then one situation she would otherwise know far better to get entangled in and become unwilling to so easily give up on it.

Absorbed: When it comes to her work... particularly with her plants and experiments... she tends to get tunnel vision. On more then one occasion what was some innocent experimentation has found its way outside her lab and greenhouse into other places tangling others into her affairs.

Self-righteous: Jade believes what she is doing is right and isn't afraid to tell others if they should question it. While not nessisarily bad, she can go overboard with it often coming up smug in the process and belittling others for what she might views as selfish or careless.

Guarded: While willing to casually speak with nearly anyone, Jade tends to keep most of her own negative thoughts or feelings bottled up inside refusing to tell others of her plights. While she encourages others to open up about their troubles she refuses to do so for herself just playing it off while keeping her own negative thoughts and emotions to herself to dwell upon.

Plant Magic
Magic Ability: The ability to create and grow various plants. The plants themselves vary wildly with many types custom created through Jade's own work over-time cross pollinating and experimenting.

Advantages: Plant magic allows for the plants used to grow at a greatly accelerated rate. Beyond the speed of which it is grown, the magic also allows the ability to direct its growth helping create constructs and other things form the plant life.The user can hold full control over the plants, though it is possible in some cases for certain types of plants to act on their own accord independent from its creator, though this form of intelligence is limited in functionality (a meat eating plant acting to catch someone viewing it as a meal or a spore pod releasing its seed due to being triggered its release).

Disadvantages: Plants, while quite adaptable aren't necessarily the sturdiest creations often requiring more complex usage in order to create a sturdy structure to sustain damage. Plants generally are susceptible to fire or extreme cold by default, requiring special seeds of specially cross pollinated plants to withstand such conditions, in those cases often making that same very seed more vulnerable to the opposite (cold weather not working well in heat). In order for a plant to be maintained long term it needs proper conditions to be met should the user not constantly provide a drip feed of Mana to sustain it. While not often extremely taxing, certain more complex pants can require more energy then they can naturally obtain in the world if on their own resulting in their eventual death.

Proficiency: 5

Clay
Magic Ability: The ability to use clay (often in a more wet/pliable form) in order to cover things or create various structures. The user can create more clay by taking the natural earth around them and converting it into their clay through infusing it with their own mana. The clay itself has properties to it allowing an easier transfer of energy through it both to or from something else.

Advantages: Due to the nature of Clay Magic, it is extremely easy to get such resources from anywhere. While certain soils will tend to be more pliable then others, generally any natural ground substance can be converted to fuel the type of magic. In the case of the soil being wet, the act of converting soil into clay becomes more efficient requiring less work from the user to manipulate it. The fact it can appear as normal soil or mud can make it a rather effective trap to catch others off guard through creating sinkholes or other effects.

Disadvantages: While having much more flexibility over raw earth magic, Clay creations are generally more fragile in their freshly created form requiring hardening usually through other types of magic to become sturdy quickly. The clay itself isn't very effective as a tool just on its own often requirng other magic to be influenced through it in order to get the full effects from it. The more fluid the clay is made, the more difficult it can be to accurately mold it making it usually more effective to use on the ground otherwise meant to have a more of a 'splatter' effect when thrown as a projectile.

Proficiency: 2
Combat Equipment: None

Non-Combat Equipment:
Small manuals on local Plant and Wildlife (Ideally of the location she has if available). She will also keep a small medical journal which lists off several diseases or poisons in which to reference from should she suspect someone might be infected to better treat it if normal methods are not enough. She also has some wraps and bandage and standard medical supplies as backup in the off chance her plant based remedies not be usable.

Magical Items:
Seed Pouch: While looking like a regular pouch, the pouch itself is actually magic in nature. Inside stores a large assortment of seeds beyond what the pouch might appear it could hold. The pouch itself was custom made specifically for Jade not to look fashionable, but also to better fit her own style of organization. She can effortlessly pick from the bag any seed she so wants with a very tiny injection of mana and the right thought. It is possible for others to use the seed pouch, though the way Jade organizes things can make it difficult to pick the correct seed you wish to extract.

Harper Layne

Aliases: Layne,
Scavenger
~~Harper Crawford~~

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Height: 6'3"
Personality: Harper is a young man lacking in motivation. He enjoys being comfortable and doesn't like to exhaust himself by dealing with things that are too much trouble. If he had the option, he'd go through life listlessly, not having to worry about a thing. However, the world doesn't make that easy for him. A person needs to work to survive in society, after all.

Unmotivated as he is, Harper can still rise to the occasion when needed. If he can't escape the things he doesn't want to bother with, he'll try to get them done as quickly and efficiently as possible. It's during these times that he shows a great amount of skill, revealing the talented young man that he is. He gives his all when he has to, knowing that he's the one who suffers the most if he does important things half-assed. He'll treat situations like this as seriously as he has to, but how he'll handle something small depends on his mood.

If he doesn't consider a situation to be important, he usually won't bother with it unless he's forced to. He's a selfish person who places importance on what he wants and what's the best for him. He's against hard work, knowing that effort can easily go to waste. Compared to something like that, following his own desires works out better for him. Even if he can work up the motivation to do something tedious and selfless, there's usually an underlying reason that somehow benefits him in the long run. If the reward is better than the effort it costs, he'll do and say just about anything.

Harper has a silver tongue fit for a merchant, proving to be a gifted speaker when he puts his mind to it. He can easily tell a lie as if it were the truth, crafting an entirely new persona that suits the situation. However, when the stakes are low and there's nothing to gain from putting on an act, he's candid with his feelings, not wanting to beat around the bush.

Despite how much he focuses on himself, Harper isn't a cold person. He's amicable enough and enjoys a good laugh. He may not be a hero of justice looking to put out the fires of evil wherever they may burn, but he's willing to help the people in front of him.

Biography: Harper was born in a village plagued by rampant illness. Most of the people suffering from disease had a lower economic status, leaving the wealthier villagers relatively unaffected. To minimize the negative effects, people who were more likely to become sick were kept within an informal quarantine zone, which was essentially just isolating the poor from the rest of the community. A slum had been created, punishing individuals who were already disadvantaged. Harper was one of them.

Over time, conditions only got worse for the poor. Most of the village was healthy and continued their lives as normal, but the people sectioned off from the rest continued to die as disease and hunger spread. Harper's parents didn't last very long, both passing away within a short period of time. They may have survived longer if they hadn't been so focused on keeping him alive, but thoughts like those were meaningless.

Like many other kids who had lost their parents, he fell into the care of any stranger willing to take him in. With no memory of his parents or even his own name, he was temporarily cared for by one of the locals who offered a home to children affected by the losses. Although, this wasn't done with any charitable intentions. They were expected to pay back their debt, forced to work or risk walking the streets alone.

Left with no other options, children like him took to thievery. That meant he would have to steal from the people who were already struggling, which put a strain on their new community's willingness to help each other. The wealthier villagers always had their pockets lined with something valuable, but walking into that territory was dangerous for a child. Fortunately, he had advantages that others didn't.

While he was clumsy and inexperienced, Harper displayed magical talents at a young age. He put his gift to use by stealing from others, trying to survive no matter the cost. He improved over time, soon able to silently rummage through a person's belongings without them ever knowing. Although, improving his skill with magic didn't help as much as he thought it would. No matter how much he improved, the main problem would never be solved. He would always be hungry and always risk getting caught, living each day hoping that he didn't suddenly wake up with a fever and start coughing up his lungs. He was just delaying the inevitable.

After countless days of the same routine, something finally changed. For the first time, Harper had been caught. Mere moments after picking through a wealthy-looking man's coat, he was grabbed from behind and had his face pushed into the dirt. He thought he'd die if the older man hadn't called off his security. Even though he was still alive, his situation hasn't improved. He was a thief in rags that had just been caught trying to steal from a guy that looked like he could buy out the entire village. When the man extended his arm, he was expecting to get hit in the face. To his surprise, the man wiped the mud from his face, dirtying his gloves as he picked him up.

Instead of being furious, the man was impressed that he could use magic so well at his age. The reaction was unexpected, but the man's following offer was shocking. Without saying much, he asked if Harper would like to come with him as he prepared to leave the village. While appealing in many ways, an offer like that was always dangerous. There was no telling what awaited him if he accepted. However, the potential danger was preferable to waiting to die in the village. He reluctantly accepted, but decided that it would be best to first return the wallet he had stolen when the man cleaned his face. This only caused him to laugh, looking even more satisfied with his decision to take the boy with him.

Introducing himself as Arnold Crawford, the man explained his situation. The Crawford family was a powerful and influential house of nobles mostly known for their dealings as merchants. They had accumulated a vast amount of wealth and connections that guaranteed their prosperity for generations to come. However, there were issues regarding Inheritance. For a long time, Arnold and his wife Marianne had been unable to conceive a child, causing many problems. Desperate, he had been considering adoption when he stumbled upon Harper, his magical abilities making him a suitable choice. Rather than hadoing so out of the kindness of his heart, Arnold's decision was born out of necessity when his back was against the wall. Although, that didn't matter to Harper. He now had a chance at life and would do anything he needed to make sure he didn't waste it.

Leaving his old village behind, Harper was adopted into the Crawford house. He would be given food, shelter, and a name. For the sake of one day becoming a worthy successor, he'd be given everything he needed to grow. Arnold would do anything he could to help his adoptive son. Much of his dedication came from a need to prove to the rest of the Crawford house that his decision was the right one.

While Arnold was kind, Harper found that the majority of his new family members were unreceptive to their patriarch bringing home a filthy rat and having it share their name. Many arguments erupted, and no one kept it a secret that he wasn't wanted there. However, Arnold had the final word on all decisions, so they'd have to grit their teeth and bear with it.

While everyone had to accept Arnold's decision, they didn't have to like it. Plenty of the Crawfords openly expressed their dislike of him, having had a dirty wrench thrown into many of their own plans. Those who were in charge of training Harper did so by being overly tough on him, pushing him to his limits in the hope that he'd finally break and beg to be sent back home. However, no complaints ever came.

Harper proved himself to be capable of handling whatever they threw at him, working day and night to improve. Finally given formal training, his abilities as a mage blossomed, causing some to begrudgingly accept that the boy was a prodigy. Of course, he also gave his all when it came to learning the business, taught the ins and outs of the trade. As he became more skilled, some of his family members warmed up to him, much to his father's delight. He proved that Arnold's decision was the right one. Even without Crawford blood, he could become a worthy heir if he stayed on the correct path.

It was amazing how fast nine months could undo years of hard work. When it was suddenly announced that Marianne was pregnant, everything Harper had done became meaningless. With a blood-related son now in the picture, he wasn't needed. Those who detested him could breathe a sigh of relief, and even the family members he managed to win over were quick to turn against him, remarking that having an adopted child become the head of the household would've been impossible. His adoptive mother seemed the most content, her persistence in treating him with disdain finally rewarded.

Many pushed for him to be removed from the house at once, as he was no longer needed. Even Arnold wasn't able to do much about the situation, only barely managing to keep him from being abandoned. His father convinced his relatives that even if he couldn't be an heir, Harper still had his uses. With skill in magic and plenty of knowledge about the family business, he could be a valuable asset to the newly born son. Just like the decision to take him in years ago, it was impossible to say if this one was born from love, or if Arnold just didn't want all the time and money he invested to go to waste.

Harper was allowed to remain, but he was no longer family. He was stripped of his status, resources, and even the name he had struggled to earn. In addition, he was informed that he'd be sent off to Twinbrooks. His former father told him that spending time in the trade hub would be a good way to learn more about the family business. He would be joining one of the mage guilds that recently popped up in the city, being a potential way to improve and form connections. While that was part of the reason, it was mostly a way to get him out of the house for a time while everything settled down. With only the clothes on his back and a sword from the armory as a parting gift, he was sent on his way.

No matter what Arnold said, Harper could see the truth. Instead of an advisory position like the man suggested, his only chance of being connected to the Crawford family would likely be as a guard or some other servant. Even that wasn't a guarantee, his future completely dependent on whether the new kid liked him enough to keep around when he grew older. Anything he did would just be an attempt to prove that he was worthy as a tool. He wasn't fine with any of this. However, he didn't want to get sent back to the streets, and being connected to the Crawfords was still beneficial. For now, he'd just have to accept things as they were.

For the time being, Harper joined the Void Crows guild, mostly looking at it as a way to make money instead of a place for self-improvement. If he made a name for himself and established useful connections as a mage or a businessman, the Crawfords would probably call him back so they could make use of them. Whether they did or didn't, he had already decided on something. He was going to live for himself from now on, taking wherever path benefited him the most.

Character Strengths
Quick Study: Despite his preference to spend his days relaxing, Harper takes well to learning new skills when he bothers to put in the effort. He can memorize a surprising amount of material in a short period of time and move on to the next subject without pause.

Way with Words: Raised by a merchant, being able to talk his way into and out of situations is something Harper learned very early. While it's a useful skill for bartering, he's gotten the most out of his silver tongue by learning how to pull people's strings and get them to do what he wants. A gifted liar and actor, he can easily do and say things that fit the personalities he wears like masks.

Sharp Mind: Harper is an intelligent young man that's always thinking one step ahead. Even if it may not be for the best reasons, he always considers everything about a situation before getting involved. He can think on his feet and act accordingly, always searching for a way to put himself in the best possible position.

Unwavering: For a man with no motivation, Harper can be surpassingly resolute when he's made a decision. If he believes it's important enough, he'll fight for it until the end. In this way, he proves his worth as a guild member by dedicating himself to his mission. He's hard to keep down, pushing himself to the limit for what he believes in. Of course, he'll almost always take the easy way out if one is available.

Magical Talent: Harper is a gifted mage, having his natural talent furthered by extensive training since he was young.

Swordsmanship: While he's spent more time with spells, Harper has trained his body as well, shown to be a skilled swordsman.

Character Flaws
Lack of Motivation: After having years of hard work amount to nothing, his motivation has taken a significant hit. He now lives with the thought that anything he earns can immediately be stripped away from him without warning, making any effort meaningless. With that in mind, he prefers to spend his time on other things. With everything he had been working toward snatched away from him, he no longer has any goals.

Selfish: Harper spent most of his life putting himself through hell for the sake of a goal he could never achieve. His struggles were meaningless. Even before that, he fought just to survive. With nothing else to strive for, he focuses on doing what's best for him. He puts himself and his needs first, making up for over a decade of not being able to do so.

Untrusting: While he's not paranoid, Harper isn't very trusting of others. He always tries to see through the people he's suspicious of. His line of work has taught him to always look beneath the surface, but the betrayal from his former foster family has also had a lasting impact on his willingness to take others at their word

Straightforward: Unless lying benefits him in some way, he's honest with others. Although, he can be too honest. Without having to worry about lasting consequences, he can easily create friction by being too blunt.

Self-Worth: While he may try to do whatever is in his best interest, Harper doesn't have an inflated sense of self-worth. His opinion of himself is quite low, as he's never good enough despite any work he puts in.

Magic 1
Magic Ability: Chain Magic

Advantages: Chain Magic is diverse in its applications, capable of being used effectively both in and out of combat. Due to the length of the chains being adjustable, the magic can be used from multiple ranges, provided that the user is accurate. They can be used for both physical attacks and restraining a target. Grappling hooks are attached to the chains, offering a wider range of movement and the ability to grab onto objects within their reach. The amount of chains is only limited by the user's magical capacity, giving them many to use at once if they can be sustained.

Disadvantages: While the chains are magical in nature and are much stronger than normal ones, they are still physical and can be broken. Replacing the broken chains can quickly drain Ethernano, so the user must carefully manage them to ensure they are not left defenseless.

Proficiency: 3

Magic 2
Magic Ability: Crush Magic

Advantages: Crush Magic is a powerful tool when used correctly, offering advantages when attacking and defending. While incredibly offensive with its ability to literally crush objects, it can also act as a repellant against physical and magical attacks.

Disadvantages: Crush Magic is very difficult to control, easily able to go wild if the user isn't careful. If unfocused, its attacks can spread out unintentionally, harming both the user and others nearby.

Proficiency: 4
Combat Equipment:
Set of daggers: Sharp and sturdy.

Non-Combat Equipment:
Pocket ledger: Filled with names of merchants who owe him favors.

Fancy-looking pen: Does a good job of helping him write things.

Monocular: For appraisal on the spot

Magical Items:
Kerdos Sword- A magical sword from the Crawford armory. It offers its user a temporary boost to a single physical attribute.

Elissa Holsten

Aliases: Meriwether's daughter, Sleeping Beauty's daughter.

Gender: Female.

Age: 16

Height: 5'4''
Personality:
Elissa is a fairly down to earth type of person. Humble. Practical. She errs towards rationality when it comes to dealing with situations, but isn't immune to emotions either, especially if it involves something she cares about. She is sensible and genuine when dealing with others. Twisting words is impractical in her eyes and only leads to miscommunication/misinterpretation. At the same time, she will turn a blind eye when doing so leads to a better outcome.

Elissa is loyal to the person rather than the ideal. If the person is close to her, or has earned her respect, she will stick by their side regardless of personal beliefs. That's because she doesn't view the world as all black or all white. No one is perfect and she accepts that. She would rather choose the person that stood by her side during rough times than some invisible moral that is subject to change with the times.

Elissa maintains optimism even in less than ideal situations because negativity is never productive in her eyes. She doesn't expect perfection. Elissa is flexible towards changes. If the best option isn't available go for the next best and so on. So long as one doesn't give up there's always a path that leads to a solution in her eyes. Not necessarily the most ideal solution, but a solution nonetheless. And that's enough for her.

While not immediately apparent because of her generally calm and easy-going disposition, those that know her well enough will recognize the innate stubbornness that resides within her. The more she cares about something the more deeply stubborn she becomes. She doesnt like to show weakness when she can help it and will go out of her way to avoid causing trouble for others. The wall she puts up isn't by any means impenetrable, but it's enough to mask what she feels is unnecessary.

Biography:
Born in the mountains of Vassilica to Jusk Holsten and his wife, Meriwether Drostler, Elissa lived a fairly regular life in a small town-village called Toolin. Well, as regular as having a mother who spends most her days sleeping while her husband tended to her was. Elissa grew up mostly raised by her father who was both the breadwinner and the caretaker of the family while her mother slept the years away. As a child, she thought her mother to be ill just like the rest of the villagers did. The only time she'd ever seen her mother awake was in her dreams.

Elissa greatly enjoyed the dreams in which she was able to interact with her "mother". Even if they were all just figments of her imagination, they helped her get to know Meriwether Drostle as more than just a prone figure lying on a bed. Elisa never felted deprived of a mother. Or, at least, she never admitted to such. It was through such experiences that Elissa learned to manipulate her own dreamscape. Her dream mother taught her how to be comfortable in her dreams. To banish the nightmares and make her dream her playground.

Gradually, as she grew old enough to help around the house, and old enough to put pieces together, Elissa began to realize her dreams were more than just dreams. When she revealed her dreams to Jusk, her father told her everything. How her mother was a practitioner of dream magic, a branch of sleep magic, and one of the strongest of her peers. How she voluntarily had a powerful sleep spell cast on her in order to train her magic. How she used to be a member of a royal defender's guild before marrying her father. How she still helped the kingdom from time to time. It was a very eye-opening revelation for Elisa who became incredibly proud of her mother. Though she and her father were the only ones as many of the villagers weren't aware of Meriwether's background and the few she told didn't really believe her or weren't terribly impressed. Wind magic, sure. Fire magic, sure. Water magic, cool. But dream magic? What use was that? What's the point of a powerful sorceress in their village that just slept her years away? It made Elissa's blood boil to hear others say that about her mother, but even she had to admit that, other than her dreams or her father's stories, she had never really seen Meriwether perform acts of magic. Nothing exciting or flamboyant, at least. Didn't seem like something that could protect the village if it got attacked either.

Then, one day, Meriwether stopped appearing in Elissa's dreams. Elissa figured her mother was simply busy. She waited every night to hear from her mother again. However, as days turned to weeks, Elisa began to worry. The girl poured herself into her mother's study where she dug through her Meriwether books and notes on dream magic. Her father told her not to worry, but Elissa wouldn't hear of it. If her mother didn't enter her dream then she would enter her mother's. That was what Elissa decided. She practiced dream magic whenever she had the time. Spent more time asleep than awake. Managed to enter and manipulate the dreams of all the villagers. However, no matter how hard she tried, Elissa couldn't enter Meriwether's dream. Elissa grew even more desperate. Secluded herself her mother's study. Loss friends. Broke up with her boyfriend who couldn't understand her obsession. Jusk, who had been watching his daughter's steady decline, finally put his foot down. He kicked Elissa out of the dusty room and locked his wife's study. Furious, Elissa and her father had there first fight in, well, ever really.

It took a couple of days away from the study for Elissa to regain her senses. After apologizing to her father, and all her friends, Elissa decided she wanted to leave the village and join a magic guild in the capital. That was her how her mother learned magic after all. By joining a guild and practicing her magic via practical applications. Elissa doubted she could beat her mother's magic unless she did the same. She also wanted to prove the villagers wrong about dream magic and it's potential usefulness. Jusk allowed her to do so on the condition that she took a break from magic to learn some form of martial art/self defense before leaving. A girl traveling alone couldn't be defenseless when entering a place as dangerous as the capital after all. Least of all his daughter.

However, before reaching the capital city, Elisa would stop at Twinbrook and find herself fascinated by a certain guild.

Dreamweaver Magic
Magic Ability: Dreamweaver Magic allows the user to create, sense, control, and otherwise freely manipulate the dreams of a person in the REM stages of sleep. Primarily a communicative form of magic, it's often used to send messages or visions to a sleeping person via dreams. A person who practices dreamweaver magic can sense another's dreams , enter it, observe it, shape it, extend it, and/or shatter it, at will thus inducing either horrible nightmares or positive dreams for emotional/spiritual healing. They can also extract dreams, mix them, store them (in magical containers), and weave them into other living creatures/objects.

At advanced stages, with high enough magical power, dreamweavers can thread dreams into the very fabric of reality. They can weave dreams that are so realistic/powerful that the target's body is begins to respond to them (sleepwalking, nocturnal seizures, loss of bladder contol, etc). Or they can cause the effects of dreams to start appearing on the target's body (minor cuts and bruises obtained in the dream, rope-burns, etc.), though such use of powerful dream magic with ill intent on another is often considered dark magic and taboo.

Advantages:
Dreamweavers are hard to spot. Most people hit with dreamweaver magic aren't even aware of it, as they simply believe they've been dreaming. Everyone sleeps. Therefore everyone dreams. Or, at least, can dream. Unless the target has some practice in dream magic or a mental defense of some kind, dreamweaver magic users have practical omnipotence in the dream world. They can make anything happen. Since dreams often come from a person's memories or subconscious thoughts/wishes, a skilled dreamweaver can usually search a person's dream and interpret them (to the best of their ability) to obtain information--even things the person isn't consciously aware of. In short, dreamweaver magic is best used at night and for communication/information gathering. It can give allies a restful night sleep and enemies restless ones, which can affect performance the next day. It also improves memory and allows one to experience something they would otherwise be incapable of in real life.

Disadvantages:
It is, generally, a non-combative form of magic. It only affects targets that are sleeping (which isn't usually the case when in a fight). Effects in the real world are usually minimal (except in the case of A ranked spells and beyond). It ends when the target wakes up.

Proficiency:
1
Combat Equipment:
- A pouch of Sleeping Powder: A yellow-ish powder created from grinding up certain herbs/plants that when inhaled induces a powerful sleeping effect.
- Pepper spray (in case of emergencies)
- A small tranquilizer pistol and accompanying tranquilizer darts, laced with the same Sleeping Powder, but in solution form.
Non-Combat Equipment:
- Handbag

Faris Dwi Amara

Aliases:
Chain Knight

Gender:
Male

Age:
23

Height:
193 cm
Personality:
Behind the calm expression and seemingly composed face, Faris is known to be quite kind. In front of strangers and acquaintances, he has difficulty to show them his thought. He is shy around new people and has no idea how to act around them. Despite the initial awkwardness, Faris opens up rather easily to others when they approach him first, showing an eagerness to make new relationships with others albeit his own difficulty to start one.

Faris is quite determined to live until old age, something that shows in his eating habit. He is quite picky about what he eats and rarely eats snacks. He also avoids drinking when he can help it Despite that, he succumbs quite easily to persuasion from his peers. When it comes to upholding his stance, he wavers easily when the suggestion comes from his colleagues.

A trait that he inherits from his father is his love of travelling. He enjoys seeing new scenery and does not find life on the road to be harsh. It is also this trait that pushes him into his occupation as a mage. Contradictory to his love of travelling is his desire for stability and safety, something related closer to his mother. This is the trait that pushes him into joining a guild and not roams as a free agent like his father does.

Biography:
While Verity Alma had lived in Reverie of Vassillica for her whole life, Chandra Eka Arima used to travel around Pergrande and further. The Almas disowned Verity as they didn't approve of her marriage. His mother, Verity, opened a store selling art supplies after she was married. Faris' father, who the Almas called 'a good for nothing' may as well be that. As he was helpless in business, he dedicated himself on doing housework and occasionally helped out at the store. The reversed role of the couple stirred up quite a gossip in the neighbourhood, but the two of them were happy with themselves.

As both of his parents were young and had no help on how to raise a child, Faris childhood was one unplanned parenthood for the couple. His mother often left him behind the counter with a picture book while she attended to costumers. When the store was empty, she would tell him stories and went on about the items in the store. He learnt how to read, write, and count quite early as a result, as well as becoming unnecessarily knowledgeable and skilful in art.

His experience with his father was as peculiar as his mother. There were times where his father would disappear from town for a month or so. When it was his turn to babysit, Chandra took him out to the street and talked with a lot of people. Occasionally, his father would talk to a Mage before disappearing from town for a time. He felt that it was a bit peculiar but he didn't dig too much into it.

It was when he turned twelve his father told him of the reason he sometimes leaves town. Chandra was a Mage. The reason why the Alma disapproved of him was exactly that he refused to join a guild and stubbornly still did even after he stopped indulging in his wanderlust. That was when Faris started his magic training with his father.

Connection Magic was a magic Chandra learnt from scripture he found in the ruins of an ancient library in Berillo. It was not a Lost Magic; the version Chandra found had divided Connection Magic into Physical, Magic, and Psychic Branch, effectively reducing the potency of the magic. Faris' training was more focused on Physical and Magic Branch of the Magic.

As he grew older, Faris started to accompany Chandra in his infrequent quests. A trip to gather specific herbs here, a search for a runaway daughter there. Before he knew it, he fell in love with the lifestyle of an adventurer. His stare often blanked when he kept eyes on the shop. He became restless at home, unable to keep still for too long. The change was not unseen by his mother... but Verity pretended she did not see anything. No mother wanted to be away from their son. What she did, however, only delay the inevitable.

At the age of 20, Faris told of his intention to travel over dinner. Tears and sobs followed, but eventually, Verity supported his leave. Chandra had known of his desire beforehand and did not stop him. The day he was leaving, Chandra gave him a gift. It was three pieces of chain, each four meters long. He had it commissioned for Faris' 21st birthday, but now that he planned to leave, it was an opportune moment to give them. Faris bid his parents' goodbye.

The world was huge and filled with wonder. For years, Faris travelled all over Pergrande from the harsh and cold White Reaches to the artificial Esgard. He survived by foraging in the wild and offered his service when needed. When money was tight, he turned to handicrafts he created. Travelling alone meant that one only had to think of oneself, but it also meant one only had oneself to think of oneself.

It was getting tiring.

Faris saw guilds wherever he went. A home away from home. For months, he was overwhelmed with indecision. Then he arrived in Twinbrooks where recruitment was taking place. And when he was approached by a recruiter...

He gave in.

Character Strengths
Amiable: His travel turned Faris into an open-minded and social person. Though he is a bit passive in starting an interaction, he gives off a comforting vibe when he interacts with others.

Cooperative: When it comes to working together, Faris is more than eager to let others take the lead. Following instructions is something he can do without asking why as long as he trusts the other party sufficiently.

Quick-witted: Years of experience with danger alone had shapes Faris into someone who trusts in his instinct. When it comes to a spur of the moment action, Faris is more likely to take the right one than those without experience.

Streetsmart: When one travel around, one naturally starts to notice the small things different cities had. How welcome the locals are to strangers, how safe the city was... those sorts of subtle hints.

Dexterous: Raised an art shop, Faris is skilful with his hands. He knows how to knit, draw, paint, sew, and various handicraft skills. Apart from that, he also knows how to juggle and various sleight of hand tricks from his father.

Character Flaws
Impulsive: When left to wander, he often does as he likes without thinking far of the consequence. He is used to travelling; if something bad happens in the area, he can simply leave.

Weak-willed: Often travelling leaves Faris following the tradition of the locals easily. When it comes to upholding his own opinion, Faris can be a bit... weak.

Picky: When it comes to food, Faris can be quite difficult. At worst, he insisted on borrowing the kitchen when the restaurant food is not to his liking.

Incompetitive: His only desire is to live leisurely and have a good life. Sometimes it means Faris is hesitant to take extra steps when he already fulfils what is required.

Soft-spoken: He is a nice friend, but not the type to lead. After all, who will listen to a person who does not raise his voice in a noisy environment?

Connection Magic [Physical Branch]
Magic Ability: The Physical Branch of Connection Magic allows the user to manifest links and bonds of varying materials and length to his will. It also allows for the manipulation of connections he creates at his own discretion. Chains, ropes, and wires are links used often, although strands or a single link from chains are not unheard of.

Advantages:
Physical Branch of Connection Magic allows Faris to create links on the spot fitting for the situation. Wires for tripping up enemies, ropes for miscellaneous use, chains for fighting. The ability to freely choose the created links diameter, lengths and material is an obvious advantage in battles where choices of weapon can make the difference. The fact that created links do not need a stable addition of ethernano is another plus. While controlling the created links still require ethernano, the needs are much less compared to the usage of magic such as Vine Magic which continuously controls the vine.

Disadvantages:
The strength of created links is only as strong as the strength of the imagined links. In other words, it is only capable of recreating known objects. If the created links are too far from the creator, the ethernano required to control them will be higher.

Proficiency:
4

Connection Magic [Magic Branch]
Magic Ability: The Magic Branch of Connection Magic allows the user to manifest links and bonds made out of the user's magic. It allows for the user to create links with magical property on his own discretion. This branch of magic results in stronger weapons, making it suitable for combat.

Advantages:
Similar to the Physical Branch, the Magic Branch allows the user to create links that one needs at a given situation. A link that can change its physical property, a link that drains the enemy's ethernano, all depending on the situation. The intensity of the created effect can be controlled by the amount of power one used to create it which helps the preservation of one's reserve.

Disadvantages:
Maintaining a magic link is far more draining than creating a physical link as ethernano needs to be supplied continuously for the link to be maintained. Furthermore, if a magic link is broken, the sudden hit on magic constructs will result in a backlash on the caster.

Proficiency:
3

List of Researched Magic:
Physical Alteration Magic
Light Magic
Heat Magic
Cold Magic
Sound Magic
Combat Equipment:
Iron sphere with a hook, a hook, and several different attachments for his chain whip.

Non-Combat Equipment:
Knitting needles, pencils, needles, and various art supply.

Magical Item: Chain Whip | Lacrima
A four meters long chain that normally goes around Faris' neck as a chain necklace, and another two that goes around his torso. When needed in combat, Faris will merge them into one long chain and simply creates a metallic disk at one of its ends. The chain has high durability, toughness, and magic conductivity. Otherwise, they are no different from normal chains.
Relationship:
- Verity Alma: Mother. She currently runs an art supply shop in Reverie, Vassilica. Faris still sends her letters when he can.
- Chandra Eka Arima: Father. He currently stays in Reverie to accompany his wife. Has taken another student to learn Connection Magic.
- Viola: Junior sister. She is Chandra's second apprentice in Connection Magic. Unlike Faris, she focused more on Psychic

aliases minty ; lyssa ; whatever anyone comes up with
gender female
age 20
height 5'9"
personality Alyssa is known first and foremost as a bitch by most who meet her. And honestly, first impressions ring true. Alyssa has never and will never deny being a bitch. In fact, she's actually pretty proud of the fact that she's extremely bitchy at times. On the other hand, some people don't agree. And well, she can't fault someone of their personal opinions. Then again, it's not like she gives a shit about random people in the first place. She proudly stands by her attitude and has no issues speaking her mind if someone has a problem with her. She's blunt to a point that it's rude and very rarely does she let the fact that she might've hurt someone's feelings bother her. Hey, she never claimed to be a nice person.

On the other hand, Alyssa isn't completely full of negativity. She actually has a soft spot for kids and animals, and she does her best to make sure no one knows about it. Although, when she's with those she trusts, since they know her well enough to see through her bullshit, she tends to fall back on her sarcasm as a defense mechanism. She doesn't like being seen as sensitive and caring even to those who know her well. Sometimes she can't hide it well though, seeing as the second someone asks her for help, she'll agree immediately as long as she's capable, though she will complain loudly. If you look carefully though, you might be able to see a soft smile on her face.

While it may take some time to get Alyssa to trust you, once she's your friend, you have someone at your side for life. As a Celestial Spirit Mage, she takes promises and contracts seriously, making sure never to break a promise or someone's trust. She's loyal to a fault and will defend someone with her life if absolutely needed. She covers it up with her rude attitude and humor, but she hates to see those she cares about in pain and does her best to help, even if they won't know about it, which is something that she actually prefers, seeing as she hates to get attention for doing something good. It clashes with her bitchy persona too much.

biography Alyssa was born to single mother and beginner mage, Cynthia Gardner, who was a waitress at a small diner in Twinbrooks. Growing up, Alyssa didn't have much, but she was fine for the most part. She had her mother, the old man who owned the diner her mother worked in, and her mother's spirit, Ventus. As soon as her mother was able to summon the lazy wind spirit, she did, introducing her daughter to him, hoping they'd get along. Things...didn't go too well admittedly, due to very conflicting personalities that still clash to this day. They managed to make it work though, seeing as Ventus got stuck playing babysitter when her mother couldn't find anyone to watch Alyssa when she had to go work and the old man who was like a grandfather to her had other things to take care of.

As a young girl, Alyssa was on her own a lot and while she missed her mother, she didn't mind it too much. She understood that her mother had to work as much as she did for them to stay in their small apartment, and while the woman would've preferred to have Ventus stay with her, Cynthia knew she wasn't that great a mage, and barely had the stamina to keep Ventus around as much as she did. The only reason the spirit had stayed around so often when Alyssa was younger was due to his respect for Cynthia that he stayed out on his own power sometimes just so the woman would have even the smallest bit of stress taken away from her.

Due to seeing her mother show off her magic at a young age, Alyssa became enthralled with the idea of working with Celestial Spirits, though she doubted she'd ever really have an opportunity to for a very long time. Unfortunately that time came sooner than anyone that knew the small family would have liked. By the time Alyssa was twelve years old, she realized that her mother had been sick for a long time and had been hiding the symptoms from her. Cynthia had finally slipped up after a year when she missed a bloody tissue that had fallen when she was cleaning the bathroom. Alyssa immediately confronted her mother and learned the reason behind her mother's tiredness and slowly worsening appearance.

She forced herself not to think too much about what happened in the following six months. Her mother's health began to deteriorate at an even faster pace and Alyssa had to step up and start taking over managing their finances, seeing as her mother had had to quit her job. The man had understood and helped in any way he could, often bringing leftovers or even extra food that he'd made himself before the diner closed every night to the small Gardner apartment just to give the two one less thing to focus on. Alyssa found small jobs around the city picking up any amount of money that she could to help pay the bills so she wouldn't have to depend on what savings her mother had managed to collect.

Alyssa was almost thirteen when her mother finally passed. Ventus had been out, spending time with Cynthia and Alyssa when it happened, seeing as he hadn't seen the pair in a long time due to Cynthia's lack of strength. It ended up being the last time they were all together, seeing as she passed soon after. The next month was a blur to Alyssa. The old man who'd helped raise her had been contacted by Ventus before he faded away, going back to the Spirit World to wait for his next contract. When he'd arrived, he immediately contacted the authorities about the woman's passing and hurried Alyssa out of the building and took her back to his small home above his diner, where she lived for the next four years.

The young girl was in a lot of pain after her mother passed and it took her a month before she started to open up with the help of Arthur, who she called Grandfather. When she was finally was able to look into her mother's belongings, she immediately began to cry. Holding tight to the golden Air key, she drew on the thought of Ventus for emotional support as she began to read the letter left behind for her by her mother.

The letter instructed her on how to summon Ventus and form a contract with him, Cynthia having recognized the awed look in daughter's eyes whenever she'd summoned the grumpy spirit. The woman had had a feeling that her daughter would follow in her footsteps and become an even greater mage than she could ever hope to be. It spoke of how everything the woman had was left to Alyssa, and how sorry she was for leaving her alone at such a young age. All that, it was hard but Alyssa got through it. She had the greatest gift from her mother in the form of Ventus, even if the Wind Spirit pissed her off to no end.

However it was the last part of the letter that threatened to break Alyssa. Her mother finally spoke of the father she'd never known. She explained how she'd gone to the Canal District before she got her job at the diner and was looking for work when she met the son of some nobleman and ended up having an affair with him after a night of excessive drinking, which then, a few weeks later after Cynthia had finally found a job and settled in Twinbrooks, resulted in Alyssa.

When she'd been younger and had asked after her father, Cynthia refused to say anything on the subject and Alyssa quickly learned not to bring the man up. She had reasoned in her young age that he was most likely dead and it was too hard for her mother to talk about. In the end she had decided it didn't matter. She and her mother were fine on their own with the occasional help of Ventus and old man Arthur.

Once she'd finished the letter she locked herself in her new room for three days, alternating between raging and crying. In the end, Alyssa was a bastard child of some nobleman and now, an orphan.

It was on the third day when Arthur had finally had enough and in his worry broke the lock on the door to her room and slapped her upside the head, telling her to pull herself together. Whatever had been in the letter Cynthia had left her daughter had clearly effected her strongly, but the old man knew that with Alyssa's strong personality only loud actions would be able to snap her out of her cloud of depression and set her on the path to healing. The night he'd forced the teen to sit in one of the booths at the diner after it had closed and made her her favorite meal and gave her a cup of hot chocolate and began to talk about her mother.

After a lot of crying, Alyssa began to join in, and the two spent the whole night telling stories of the woman, and while Alyssa was nowhere near being even slightly over her mother's death and what she'd learned, she did feel slightly better. And the next day she began to feel even better as she finally touched the letter again and reread her mother's instructions on how to summon Ventus. It was time for her to become a mage.

The second Ventus appeared before her, he came at her with his usual snark. "It took you long enough, brat." She lunged at him and tried to yank his hair and scratch his face, all her past frustrations with his attitude coming back and hitting her full force. It wasn't until he'd managed to pin her to the floor and smirked at her that she finally relaxed and began to cry, this time in relief. She'd come to realize that no matter how much time passed, she'd always have a piece of her mother with her as long as she had her magic and Ventus, annoying pain in the ass that he was.

So time passed and Alyssa got better, slowly coming to turns with her mother's passing and the small knowledge she had of her absent father. It had taken a long time but she'd finally managed to admit to herself that it didn't matter. The man was probably an asshole anyway and was someone she didn't need.

Once she was able to handle being around crowds without snapping at someone due to being emotionally drained, Arthur gave her a job working at the diner to allow her to start saving money. She didn't pay rent while she lived with him, but they both knew she couldn't stay with him forever. So by the time she was seventeen, Alyssa had managed to save quite a bit of money that would allow her to go and see the world and keep expanding her magic. She'd managed to collect another gold key and two silver keys, but she wanted to keep improving and she couldn't do that if she stayed in one place forever.

On the day she planned to leave, Arthur surprised her with a gift. It was a pair of finger-less gloves that were connected to two small knives that when she activated the spell, the gloves would summon the knives back to her hand as long as they weren't too far away. She teared up, hugging the small old man in thanks before she let him go and hurried away before she found herself unable to leave. As she disappeared around the corner, she was already tugging the gloves on as she stored the knives in her bag resting against her hip beside the pouch she held her keys in.

For the next three years she wandered wherever she could, collecting keys whenever she could, practicing with her knives, and eventually learning Air Magic so she could work more with Ventus in memory of her mother. During her travels she often stopped back in Twinbrooks when she needed a break and wanted to see her grandfather again. It was during one of those visits that she learned about the two new guilds that she decided she'd had enough traveling and joined the Void Crow's guild.

strengths
loyal as long as it's someone she knows and trusts, be they a guild member or not, once you have alyssa's friendship and/or respect, you'll always have her in your corner. she's never broken a promise yet, and she has no plans to.
kind despite coming off as a straight up bitch at times, once you get past the mask she puts on for those she doesn't trust, alyssa will never actually go out of her way to hurt someone, preferring to help those she can.
upbeat overall, alyssa is a pretty cheerful person, preferring to enjoy the good times rather than dwell on the bad.
bold never one to step out of the spotlight, alyssa does nothing to tone down her appearance and the louder aspects of her personality, and she won't tell others to be anything less than themselves at all times as well.
protective once a friend, alyssa would be willing to go to the end of the line to keep those she loves safe.
flaws
sarcastic sometimes using humor when she doesn't know what to say, alyssa doesn't always have the best timing with some of her comments, be they hurtful or an attempt at being funny.
messy no matter what anyone else thinks, she has a method to her madness and she isn't messy, others just don't understand how she operates her own space!
blunt alyssa believes in honesty is the best policy and sometimes without meaning too, can take things a bit too far, becoming hurtful rather than helpful at times.
stubborn once she puts her mind to something, alyssa doesn't really like to take it back, also known to help her hold a grudge when someone's done something wrong in her book.
loud in her quest to not focus on the bad in life, she can tend to get a little loud, forgetting that not everyone has the same experiences and don't always prefer to forget that inside voices do exist.

Celestial Spirit Magic
magic ability a form of holder and spatial magic that allows the summoning of celestial spirits, via their gate keys
advantages this magic allows alyssa to call forth celestial beings to fight on her behalf as long as she follows the contract established between herself and the spirit. seeing as each spirit has different abilities, alyssa can pick and choose what spirit would help the best during any altercation or situation in general. as long as her reserves are high, she can summon up to three spirits at a time, as well as swap out one spirit for another if things in a battle change.
disadvantages while being able to summon multiple beings to help in a fight is extremely useful, having multiple spirits of a stronger caliber out at one time can be pretty draining. different spirits have different personalities as well as wants and desires and depending on their mood can make things difficult. while spirits have their own magic that powers their own attacks, the only way for them to stay on the same plane as alyssa is her own magic power. what's also difficult is that to be able to use a spirit's skills, you first need to form a contract with them. depending on the personality of the spirit determines the type of contract set between the spirit and alyssa.
proficiency 4

Keys

Gold Keys

Fire

Phoenix - Red Gem in the Center
"Gate of the Eternal Fire, I open thee! Phoenix!"
advantages Phoenix is fire personified in a human shape. She can shift between her human form and a giant flaming phoenix, hence her name. She has the ability to create and manipulate flames with ease. Due to her being a creature of fire, she is immune to most fire attacks, being able to either absorb the offending fire into her own body or deflect it with her fans, which is also how she sends out her attacks.
disadvantages Being made of fire, she is extremely weak against water attacks. While a small splash of water comes nowhere near extinguishing her flames, it is entirely possible for her power to be put out. Due to this, when their contract was made, Phoenix made sure that Alyssa knew she was never to summon her when dealing with large quantities of water attacks or rainy days.

Water

Siren - Blue Gem in the Center
"Gate of the Singing Water, I open thee! Siren!"
advantages Siren is a creature from under the seas with control of the waters around him. Due to his slippery nature, he's used to sneaking around and luring sailor's to their deaths, he can easily sneak close to enemies and use his elongated nails to manipulate water in a way to incapacitate his target. Or he could use his voice, or Song, to direct the water to attack from a distance.
disadvantages Water is naturally weak against the firm balance that is earth. When Siren is sneaking around, he needs to be able to use the locale to his advantage, slipping in and out of sight before making his move. When he uses his Song to control the water it can take a longer time for the attack to connect as the water is attuned to the vibrations and pitch of his voice.

Earth

Gryphon - Green Gem in the Center
"Gate of the Alchemic Earth, I open thee! Gryphon!"
advantages Gryphon is the embodiment of balance through the use of alchemy. Her form is that of a chimera, giving her her name. She can manipulate the earth but cannot create it. She can only take what is already there and morph it to change for her needs, be it offensive or defensive.
disadvantages Her form of magic is based off of alchemy, she cannot create something from nothing and to create anything, it must be made by something of equal value.

Air

Ventus - White Gem in the Center
"Gate of the Winding Wind, I open thee! Ventus!"
advantages Ventus is a God of the Wind and thus has control over the air. When working in tandem with Alyssa's air manipulation, they're able to make people fly. Or at least float around for a short period of time. Using his control over air, he normally creates walls of wind surrounding certain individuals, creating a barrier that could tear someone to shreds if they tried to force their way into it due to the extremely high wind speeds. He'll also just send blasts of wind at someone to send them flying if needed.
disadvantages Ventus is one of the Spirits that doesn't focus too much on attack and more defense, mostly with his barrier of wind. Seeing as the winds are at such a speed that can tear someone apart, it is incredibly draining for Alyssa, so she has to be careful when using it. Using Ventus' control to help fly/float is also something extremely draining and takes extreme control to manage.

Silver Keys

Huntress

Artemis + Diana - Blue + Purple Gems
"Gate of the Lunar Goddesses, I open thee! Huntress!"
advantages As the Goddess of the Hunt, Artemis and Diana are trackers in the form of wolves. They have incredible speed and enhanced senses, allowing them to be near unstoppable when it comes to hunting down a target and potentially holding them captive for authorities.
disadvantages For the two to be able to hunt someone down, they need to have something to track. If there's no starting point then they can't move forward. Depending on Alyssa's desire of how to summon, she can chose to summon Diana or Artemis, but to track, both must be present.

Sandman

Sandman - Yellow Gem
"Gate of the Dreamer, I open thee! Sandman!"
advantages As the Keeper of Dreams, Sandman is able to induce a drowsiness to someone, pulling them closer and closer to sleep or into a form of hypnotism. Or he can just help someone fall asleep on a sleepless night.
disadvantages Due to him not being able to control someone's mind, he can only plant suggestions in the form of hypnotism. His pull to sleep is almost like a hallucination planted in someone's face, nudging them gently but firmly towards the direction of sleep. Depending on how strong the person is, they can succumb easily or fight his suggestions off.

Isis

Isis - Pink + Orange Gems
"Gate of the Healer, I open thee! Isis!"
advantages The Goddess Isis is known for many things, one of them for being a healer. She's able to heal most injuries while her barrier is active. This allows someone to head right back into battle injury free.
disadvantages Her healing is only temporary while her barrier is active. The second her barrier is down, all injuries are returned to any previously healed individuals, leaving them with all their gained injuries. Isis is not able to heal life threatening wounds, it costs too much power and would kill her and Alyssa, but she can at least heal basic scrapes and even some broken bones.

Air Manipulation
magic ability the ability to manipulate the air and wind currents around her.
advantages alyssa is able to work in tandem with her spirit ventus to manipulate air, creating stronger attacks and even stronger defenses, their main move being a wall or barrier of wind churning at high speeds that could tear someone apart. they're also slowly working to figure out how to fly.
disadvantages while manipulating the wind to push and shove someone around is fairly easy, to do any real damage she needs to concentrate and pour a lot of power into doing anything on her own. while somewhat better with the help of ventus, it still requires a lot of power. depending on the weather conditions also effects her control.
proficiency 3
combat equipment two knives
non-combat equipment a plain black pouch with silver accents to hold her keys ; a solid black thigh holder where she stores one of her knives ; another solid black holder around her left ankle to hold her other knife
magical items pair of finger-less black gloves that are connected to her two knives, where once the spell is activated they're summoned back to her hands as long as the distance isn't too great

Summar Aurum

Aliases: Lord Aurum (formerly)

Gender: Male

Age: 20

Height: 6'2
Despite what many would assume, Summar is not greedy. His end goal is not to live in excessive wealth or to wield tremendous power. Contrary to his familial counterparts, Summar is known for his benevolence and giving. He maintains a rather laid back demeanor rarely showing signs of anger or frustration. He is often described as cool, calm, and collected. This nonchalant attitude can be perceived as disinterested or disrespectful.

Summar is a natural conversationalist, easy to approach and hard to agitate. He firmly believes that you can always find a solution with even the worst of enemies by just having a discussion. His stout belief in nonviolent problem solving makes him the target of many mens insults, though he couldn't care less. This ideal is furthered by his belief that everyone has a price. If talking it out won't work, bribery more often than not will.

Due to his upbringing, Summar has an extreme bias against nobles and the elite upper class. In his experience, those in power typically only seek to keep and expand their influence. Though he doesn't show this bias with outright disrespect, he has other ways of showing it. He also tends to not associate with those types of people, despite his roots. No matter his personal feelings on the issue or person, Summar knows that business/the mission comes first.

Summar was born and raised as the heir to the wealthy elitist Aurum family. The noble family has always lived in the city of Collis, located in the southern midlands, the last stop on the main trade road before entering Berillo. The Aurum family name always has and always will be tied to the trade industry. For generations, the Aurum family remained amongst the richest of noble families, as they always had a never ending supply of capital in the form of gold. Every head of the Aurum lineage has carried on the legacy by learning and mastering the Midas Touch, otherwise known as Gold Transmutation. With this sacred family magic passed down from generation to generation, the Aurums have retained their noble status for as far back as history books can go. This all changed with Summar's grandfather, who failed to properly teach his son (Summar's father), or any of his seven children, the correct techniques when attempting to use Midas touch. That is what the family would have the public believe, but in all reality the generation before him only failed to comprehend the lessons.

After Grandfather's passing when Summar was five, the Aurum family name began to lose its stock, as did most of their businesses. With no one to infinitely supply the gold necessary to fund all of their businesses, caravans, and luxurious lifestyles, things quickly fell apart. Within months most of their properties had been seized and their the Aurum name was now associated with bankruptcy. This all changed when Summar began to show natural a natural aptitude with Gold magic. Seeing a light at the end of their dark tunnel, the entirety of the Aurum lineage began relying on Summar's abilities to keep funding their superfluous life styles. This would be especially true of Summar's step-mother who began to sell his time and labor to other nobles, only to further their positions in the elitist hierarchy. Despite most of his family seeing Summar as a blank check, his father, still tried to raise him as best he knew how. He paid for the best tutors in all subjects, hired serving staff to tend to his every whim, and bought every book and toy he could to distract Summar from all the forced child labor.

Shortly after turning sixteen, Summar's father fell suddenly ill and passed away within weeks. There's reason to believe that his father was in fact murdered by other members of the Aurum family, including his own wife, in hopes of taking full control of the company and Summar. However, to everyone's surprise, the will cleary stated that everything was left to Summar, including presidency of the company. Despite his age, Summar naturally began to take on the mantle of leading the Aurum Trade Company. This however would not sit well with Summar's uncles. Unbeknownst to Summar, a coup was brewing, aiming to unseat him from top the company. Part of this plan included altering his father's will to change the sole beneficiary from Summar, to his step-mother who was already aligned with the plotters. Greed and selfishness lead to Summar's own family turning against him, forcing him out, else he would be framed for crimes he did not commit. (The actual perpetrators were the uncles who had thrown him under the bus in the first place) Left with only the clothes on his back and skills and abilities he had learned, he set off, not knowing what the world might hold for him.

Character Strengths
Financial Wizard - Years of trade experience and business acumen taught him as much as the tutors and books.

Affable - Summar has always been considered friendly and easy to talk to.

Charitable - With more money than he knows what to do with, he's got no problem sharing.

Educated - A requirement of any noble heir, Summar had half a dozen tutors covering math, language, history, magic, writing, and etiquette.

Silver Tongue - Summar has become quite skilled in the art of persuasion through years of experience.

Character Flaws
Physically weak - He spent the entirety of his childhood training and practicing his magic, not his physical body.

Pacifistic - Summar has never seen violence as the answer. He will always seek the diplomatic route, if possible.

Gullible - His isolated upbringing has left him uninformed about the larger outside world, save what's in history books.

Overreacher - Tends to bite off more than he can chew. A result of being expected to always be furthering the family.

Expensive taste - though he doesn't require billion thread count sheets or rivers of wine like other members of his family, he has acquired a more expensive palette.

Floeho Tumba

Aliases: Lazy S.O.B. Also, ' The Necromancer'

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Height: 6'0
Personality:

A lazy good for nothing, Floeho's vices far outnumber his actual virtues. He hardly wants to work, and has no idea what he wants to do in life. He sees being a mage just as a way to make a paycheck, much how some might seeing construction or farming. He'll work for his paycheck, and try not to screw up, but that's as far as he'll go. If it's not stated in a contract, don't expect anything above and beyond.

What does make Floeho shine though is how he incorporates his flaws and turns them into a strength. he's lazy? So he finishes efficiently. Disloyal? He's talked down many others would have attacked on principal. Greed? Floeho's never been cheated, and always returns with the exact amount requested in a mission's pay. Floeho hardly cares he's a flawed individual using his flaws to great success.

Floeho's way of thinking is a great deal of black and white. He sees life as a series of little problems, annoyances you have to get through. How you get through them really doesn't matter. If you want him to do something in a particular way, include it in the problem. Otherwise, it's free game how he solves it. It's not like he'll judge other people's methods either, so long as they don't inconvenience him any.

Biography:

"An Honest Day's Work for An Honest Day's Pay"

Less true words have ever been used to describe someone. Growing up in a middle-class family in Twinbrook, Floeho had no interest in magic, or guilds, or much of anything really. He was always asked what he wanted to do, and his answer was always "I'll find out when I'm older." And older. And older. When he was 18, his parents told him to get a job. But there wasn't exactly anything he was skilled to do, or motivated to try and do. After a few months, his parents threw him out on the street, meaning for it to be a few days for him to learn his lesson and become a productive member of society. That, however, didn't quite pan out. To Floeho, being kicked out was a state, and he wasn't going to go back.

Luck, however, favored him as he wandered aimless and penniless through the town. As he passed a church, he overheard some sort of argument over a priest hearing a confession of a man who had done horrible things and wanted to repent. He promised to turn a new leaf. Floeho turned to leave, not interested, only overhearing from how loud the confession was. As he walked away he heard. "No more! I will do no more evil!" And a book fell on his head, thrown out the window by the sinner. Floeho was annoyed but turned to see a magic tome. Spending a day to read it, he found a reanimation spell, and decided good enough. It was an easy way to make cash.

It required a bit of graverobbing, but the following day, he went into town with Mr. Skelly, and began to rent out the abomination to help with all manner of menial tasks Floeho wouldn't be caught dead doing: Farming, cleaning gutters, unclogging sewage, chasing pets.

Few people were eager to accept his 'help', but Floeho became more crafty about it, offering to do the job, THEN sending Mr. Skelly to do it on his behalf, claim it done, and it worked much better. Still, rumors of the necromancer aren't very kind. Then again, as long as he can make money, he doesn't really care.

Currently struggling to pay for his apartment, he still wanders the town for odd jobs.

Character Strengths
* Efficient - Whenever Floeho is asked to do something, it gets done in as few steps as possible. Sometimes fewer. He was once told to sweep the entire guildhall as punishment for skipping training. Guildmaster Laconia came back to an automated system of pullies and brooms. And Floeho asleep on a bucket.
* Creative - See above. Floeho's brain isn't on often, but when it is, it quickly comes up with solutions almost no one else would think off that somehow work. Weird as it, it generally works. Floeho only sees a problem, and fixing it is anyone's guess.
* Ruled by Reason - Floeho sees the world in a very black and white view. It helps him understand things others get emotional about, and break down a problem into understandable parts.
* Skilled negotiator - Part of Floeho's efficiency. He tends to quickly find what people wants, and promises it, often avoiding conflict where able, and able to get what a guild might need at a reasonable cost.
* Insufferable Genius - Floeho believes so little in hard work that everything he has comes from having to quickly apply his skills. The fact he can keep up with other juniors is almost infuriating. He learns ungodly quickly if his mind is to it.... which tends to happen once a blue moon. Some speculate because his brain is so empty, there's vast amount of space for him to work with.

Character Flaws
* Lazy - Defining feature. Like, the entirety of Floeho's character derives from how damn lazy he is. He doesn't want to DO anything. Sitting around on his back is his best use of time in his mind. Life's way too fast to not slow down occasionally. There's a real chance if he didn't have rent to pay he'd stop showing up to the guild until dragged.
* Liar- If its more convenient than the truth, Floeho has absolutely no problem spinning things for his gain.
* Skimming - The entire reason he ended up in the Bright Hawk's is he skimmed over their flier and guild rules. He's resented his decision ever since. He is, however, far to lazy to do anything about it, and needs rent money. He tends to do this with bills and missions. Probably best to let someone else in the party do this job.
* Disloyal - Floeho's... not exactly the most likely to fight for friends. Or to say positive things about the guild. Or remember what guild he's in. Hell, bribes are not discouraged by this man. He keeps asking Void Crow members if they want to switch guilds whenever he sees them.
* Power Hungry - Floeho wants more. He doesn't want to be IN power, but power is a means to an end. Fewer people ask you for things if you pretend you're out your league. Floeho often acts incredibly strong and confident, despite how weak he is, and lusts in his heart for more. It's about the only thing he does actively want, sometimes more than nap time.
* Can't Say No - The only positive flaw Floeho has, and this is more out of Floeho generally can't be bothered to say no, or spend brain resources to figure out what to do, if you ask him to do something, it's done.
* Lack of Morals - Considering his magic of choice is necromancy, little surprise. Floeho sees a problem, and any way to get there works. However, that said, it does mean whatever problem he's set on is solved.
* Has Minions - The sheer fact Floeho has minions he can pass work off to is a flaw in and of itself. Doubly so when the tasks aren't things his minions should be doing. Like talking down a street fight, or buying groceries.

Likes
* Sleeping - A no duh.
* Wandering aimlessly through town - Floeho has the place basically memorized, but still likes to take long walks to shirk duty whenever possible.
* Asking Void Crow Recruits if They'd Switch Places with Him - And oddly specific past time. He could just quit his guild, and join them, but the thought hasn't occurred.
* Money - Money means work's done.
* Power - Power means people leave you alone.
* Cloaks - Odd fashion is the name of the game. Gives a mysterious vibe, which lets people think Floeho is smart or wise without him actually doing anything.

Dislikes
* Hard work - Floeho really should have read the guild mission statement
* Priests - They keep calling him profane, and are just too much a pain to deal with.
* His parents- Floeho has an innate sense when they are around. He's hidden in barrels in the guild just to avoid them.

Magic Ability: Reanimation: Casting a spell on a pile of bones, they heal and knit together and heal to form a skeletal soldier that obeys simple commands. It's tough and durable, able to clash with most mages but won't generally win a duel... the first time its cast. Its a matter of wearing an opponent down though. If broken, the soldier can be raised as long as they are in the vocal range of Floeho.

Tier 1: Mr. Skelly - A simple skeleton of a brute with a large Claymore the size of Floeho. It is physically strong, wielding the sword like a berserker. Still, it has no additional effects.

Advantages:
With Flojo's large Ethernano Reserves, casting the spell is easy, and it can outlast most people, even if he has to bring his skeletons back multiple times, and they last for hours on end if not in combat. This does not help his laziness. They can remember a command will follow it until the spell expires. They also need not maintenance, are unaffected by poisons, and don't tire (though need more magic in combat, so burn through his reserves faster.)

Disadvantages: Unlike most spells, the caster is the weak point. Floeho has little way to defend himself outside his skeleton. In addition, the skeletons summoned are rather plain, unable to cast spells or do much fancy. They can only simply follow orders. They can get confused as well if orders aren't simple, or at simple tricks.

Proficiency: 1

Basil Webster

Aliases: N/A

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Height: 5'7"
Personality:
Basil has always been described as a difficult person, but not because it's hard to get to know him. He's a generally friendly individual, whose cheerful demeanor makes him easy to approach, and he is always happy to lend a helping hand. His positive outlook on things allows him to look at the best sides of a situation. He doesn't neglect the bad things, but he prefers to focus on what good can come out of a predicament rather than what consequences will occur. He is also very charitable, usually giving things he doesn't believe he needs to those who may actually need them, even if they are his own personal belongings.

What really makes him tough to deal with is his curious nature. The saying 'curiosity killed the cat' is something he very nearly lives by, sometimes getting dangerously close to the 'killed the cat' part. His hunger for learning about the unknown is something that can be almost praised by onlookers. However, this adds a certain level of stubbornness to him, as he won't be satisfied until he feels he's come to an acceptable answer to whatever is plaguing his mind at the moment. It's not surprising that he has a couple scars from getting in over his head in some cases, like when he was curious on the lifestyle of wild cats and got too close, or when he wondered if a bush could really break a persons fall. Many find that dealing with him ends with more bruises than they can afford, so they try to avoid his antics as much as possible, and do their best to not owe him any favors.

Despite his hunt for information, Basil is a surprisingly dull individual. He lacks quite a bit of common sense, and what book smarts he has, he doesn't put to good use generally. He isn't so dumb where he willingly puts himself in very serious danger, but he typically doesn't think too much before he takes action, easily getting distracted by something new when something catches his eyes. He refuses to sit still for too long, usually complaining if he has to on a long journey. He enjoys living his life to the fullest he can, even to the detriment of the few people who are close to him.

Biography:
Basil's childhood is riddled with problems. Most of these problems stem from his unfathomable ability to get into all sorts of trouble. His parents, a pair of traveling tailors, had difficulty keeping him away from causing significant harm to either himself or others. Basil was always curious about the places around the kingdom his family would travel to, and he would typically end up getting lost in the larger cities. However, the family was happy, and Basil enjoyed learning the trade. During a stop in a town to refill on supplies, Basil came into possession of a strange silver charm, telling his parents that it fell onto his head from the sky. His parents believed he was just making up stories, and tried to find the original owner of the piece. However, no person claimed the ring as theirs, so the parents decided that it must have been dropped by another travelling group, and there was probably no way they would return for it. So they allowed Basil to keep it on a string around his neck.

Soon after, his parents gave birth to his little brother, Kyr, and now having to deal with two children, they decided it was time to settle down. They chose the Midlands as a good place to settle and set up a tailor shop, opening their store in the town of Bell Port, a trading town on the shores of one of the great rivers that ran through the region. Basil and Kyr were homeschooled by their father during the morning, and Basil began to take up tailoring in the afternoon to help his parents. When they were allowed free time, Basil and Kyr would play in the forest south of the town with the other children, though Basil typically went off on his own to explore, and would come back home late, covered in scratches or bruises or bites due to something peaking his interest. Much to his parent's relief, Kyr wasn't so excited about going on dangerous escapades, but Basil still managed to persuade him often.

What the two brothers loved the most, though, was when mages would come through the town, either on their way to missions or needing to handle business in the town. They would spend their evenings in the town square listening to the tales of monsters and adventures the mages told to any who wanted to listen. Basil began to find himself more and more entranced with the idea of becoming a famous mage, and would occasionally pester mages that came through about teaching him magic. Most either refused because he bothered them or because their respective magics were too difficult or danger for him. Frustrated that he was looked down on by all of them, he just keep trying to persuade anyone who came through to give him a chance to learn.

His parents heard about his escapades, harassing mages that come through the town and pleading with them to teach him magic, and scolded him. They wanted him to take his role in the family tailoring business more seriously and give up on trying to become a mage, scaring away potential customers to the tailor shop. Basil felt betrayed by his parents, but knew they were right. He was being selfish, and couldn't act like a kid anymore, especially if he was going to inherit the family business. Instead, he poured more of his energy into learning the trade, even accompanying his mother on trips to nearby towns to take up special jobs. He quickly started to regularly work at the shop, and showed impressive skill as time went on. His parents were immensely proud of him.

One day, when he was 16, when running errands in the town, he saw a group of rowdy mages causing a scene in the market district, and before a fight could break out, a girl appeared and took them down easily. Awed at the display, his desires that he had suppressed for so long began to light up again, and he approached the girl, trying to persuade her to teach him magic so he could fulfill his dreams. The girl was hesitant at first, but after enough persuading, she happily decided to teach him the basics, though he would have to learn the rest and improve his abilities on his own. He accepted the deal, and the girl, Emilia, gave him everything he needed to begin training in Requip magic, including a weapon that she had come across in her travels, a magic sewing needle, which fit perfectly for Basil. He was immensely grateful to the girl, and swore he would repay her someday for being given this chance. The girl just waved it off, leaving Basil to his own devices.

His parent's were upset with this sudden development, as they didn't like the fact that he had went and learned magic behind their backs. However, the deed was done, and they realized that they could never truly stop Basil from doing anything he wanted to, as his curiosity would always get the best of him in the end. He took the chance to hone his abilities with his newfound magic powers to aid his parents to make up for it, grounded for a couple months to make up for disobeying them. However, once he was 17, his mother approached him with the chance to join a new Guild opening in Twinbrooks, a couple miles away from Bell Port, being run by one of their regulars who had saved his mother's life a couple years ago when she had went out on a job. The perfect opportunity, Basil couldn't pass it up. He promised to visit his family when he had free time to, and he would write to them regularly, and swiftly packed his bags to go and join up with the newly forming Void Crow Mage Guild.

Character Strengths
Playful - At the most basic levels, Basil just wants to have fun in his life. He doesn't get mad at pranks often, and is generally lighthearted.

Creative - Basil is known to have a flair for thinking up unique ideas nearly on the spot. He enjoys colorful things, and he enjoys putting his own spin on things if he can help it.

Cheerful - Someone who can't help but see the good side of things, his joyous nature is almost infectious to those around him, and he can't help but make any situation fun.

Open - Basil doesn't have much of a filter. He has no problem with being blunt on how he thinks of things. However, if something is bothering him he feels more inclined to talk about it, just so he feels better.

Adventurous - The thrill of seeing and exploring new places is something that keeps Basil going. The thought of venturing somewhere new is something that very visibly excites him, and if he has to choose between two different places, he will have a very difficult time choosing between them.

Character Flaws
Dangerously Curious - Basil's love for knowing about or learning new things can have him end up in less than desirable situations. He has the scars to prove it.

Dull - One would think Basil's enjoyment for learning would make him brighter. But the knowledge he acquires is not put to good use by him, and he typically will forget about most things if he gets distracted by something.

Unrestrained - Basil's energetic nature knows no bounds. He can't help but expend his energy if he can, even if the time isn't very appropriate for it.

Disorderly - If you asked Basil to describe what his room looked like, he wouldn't be able to tell you. He leaves most of his personal belongings a mess, strewn about wherever he drops them.

Transparent - Basil can easily be caught in a lie. He typically can't be trusted with any kind of secret, and if he is able to keep one at all it's a miracle.

Requip: Tradesman's Toolbox
Magic Ability: Requip Magic allows the user to have access to a small 'pocket dimension', where they can store things like weapons and clothes. The Handyman's Toolbox is a variant that focuses heavily on the use of variants of wapons that are similar to the type of tools one would see a man of trade using, such as hammers and saws.

Advantages: One of the greatest strengths of Requip Magic is its versatility. The ability to switch between weapons and armor to whatever one needs for the current problem at hand, adapting to almost any situation with ease. The ability to store more than just items for battle, like extra clothes or necessary items, makes it great for transporting small items as well and keeping them safe. The way a user can quickly equip a weapon or armor with ease makes it easier to prepare for a battle, not having to worry about physically carrying the items on them at all times, weighing them down.

Disadvantages: While versatile, the act of swapping between armor or weapons takes time, and typically in that time the user is vulnerable to attacks from others. Weapons aren't good for protecting oneself when they can't summon them fast enough when in danger. Also, if the user's weapons or armor are damaged in some way, they will have to wait to fix them before they can use them again.

Proficiency: 1
Combat Equipment: Requip Arsenal

Non-Combat Equipment: A necklace with his silver charm on it, a collection of tailoring tools

Magical Items:
- Sewer's Stingers: A thin black cloth glove with sewing needles attached to the nails of the fingers, this magical item allows the user to control threads and cloth around them, manipulating them by moving one's hands around. The user can also attach thread to the needles themselves to provide easier manipulation. The needles themselves can also be used offensively to stab and jab at enemies. The weapon can only control materials in a fixed proximity from the user, with Basil's currently skill with the gloves only allowing him a range of 3 meters. Also the weapon relies on materials already being present, unable to create it's own thread of cloth.

Charles Pen

Aliases: Garbage Saint
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Height: 172cm
Personality:
The Saint of Refuse, as a certain dumpster-diving young woman likes to call herself, is just as her name implies. Trash. Charles is a boorish tomboy of a young woman, slinging curses and depravities about like it's nobody's business. A woman after her own heart, Charles lives her life with one thing in mind, and one thing only. Herself. Independence is the name of the game and she'll fight tooth and claw to maintain it. It's the way of life that she believes to be the correct one, and she has no qualms with letting other people that they're going about theirs wrong.

She's decided to nurture a relationship with the Bright Hawks not because she fancies their brand of would-be heroism, but rather because she's judged it to be the best way to reach her goals, and lofty goals they are. Charles is dead-set on achieving Saintdom. True Saintdom, rather than the self-proclaimed title she's given herself. Might makes right, as the proverb goes, and Charles does ever so love to be right. For her ultimate goal, she's willing to put aside her hangups for the moment, even if it means working with a bunch of prissy, bath-having stiffs for a while.

That isn't to say the girl isn't as incorrigible as ever, though. A tiger can not change its stripes, and as determined as she might be about her cause, she's still the same garbage-slumming shit-slinger as ever. Around those who've benefited from ideas like friends and family, she is often unable to stop undiluted venom from spilling from her tongue. She has a certain jealousy-born grudge against those that've had people that they can rely on in their life. Another facet of this is a particular resilience to forming relationships with others, generally avoiding so much as getting on a first name basis with other people.

Biography:
A runaway of sorts. Charles left her home at a very young age, deciding in a bout of youthful resolution that she'd live her life on her own terms. The parents she left behind, a pair of know-nothings that could barely afford to support themselves, let alone a growing child, never came looking for her.

By all rights, she should have died in the streets within days. Food was scarce, and the gutter had never been a welcoming place for youth, but somehow she persevered. Instead of taking to begging and thievery as most vagrant-children would, Charles instead found her own sort of honor. She dug, trawled and devoured her way through the garbage of the city. From the niceties discarded by the rich, to the odds and ends abandoned by the ignorant, the refuse of Twinbrooks became her lifeblood.

Wheeling and dealing, she managed to scrape her way through life. She'd restore furnishings and pawn it off to oddball decorators, assemble 'gourmet' meals from food scraps, and do anything else she could with the things that the common man had thrown away. Not once in her life did she resort to crime, or relying on the sweat off of another man's back.

She'd become independent, so she'd claim, a self-made woman who lived by nobody's rules other than her own. More than once Charles would need to avoid authorities, so-called do-gooders who wanted to drag her away; to confine her into some stuffy, soul crushing orphanage or church. She wasn't have any of it. She'd heard the term Saint, muttered about on the city streets. They were those who stood at the apex of the social hierarchy, able to do as they please by the rule of their might alone. That, she decided, was exactly what she needed to become.

'The Saint of Refuse', Charles then took to calling herself.

If all she needed was strength to live by her own volition, then that was exactly what she would get.

Character Strengths:
- Independent - Charles doesn't need the support of friends or family to stay strong. She's been alone up until now, and is perfectly fine operating as such for the rest of her life.
- Confident - As a self-proclaimed self-made-woman, Charles is very proud of herself and what she'd managed to accomplish. So long as everything is going well for her, she's able to live her life with her head held high, even if it smells like rotten fruit and lice droppings.
- Resourceful - Even if she's uneducated, Charles has a decent head on her shoulders. She's able to adapt to disadvantageous situations or environments, and work toward bringing them under her control.
- Pragmatic - The girl already smells like rotting fruit, so it doesn't really bother her if other people look at her as if she's scum. Charles will do anything to win a fight, not regarding honor or fair play for even the briefest of seconds.
- Honest - Manipulation is just like needing to rely on others, people just like to be more smug about doing it, so Charles claims. Charles hasn't told a lie in years, so her word can generally be trusted more than any flimsy contract or oath.
- Tolerant - Not of people, but of things. She spends most her nights in heaps of garbage and has probably had a lice infestation for at least half her life. She's used to roughing it.
Character Flaws:
- Uncooperative - Charles is fiercely obsessed with her own independence, and is very reluctant to give it up. She has extreme trouble doing as she's told or respecting authority figures, and will fly off rails as soon as she's given the opportunity.
- Abrasive - To the degree of absurdity. Charles gets her kicks out of making civilized people crack, and will insult, ridicule, and just generally ruin people's day.
- Uneducated - Charles has never seen a day of education in her life. She can barely do basic maths, and can only read at a snail's pace.
- Discriminatory - Charles has a bit of a grudge against anyone who's live a wholesome, happy life. She might not want to admit it, but she's very jealous of those who grew up with people who loved them, and will treat them worse as a result.
- Arrogant - Despite being constantly filth-ridden and destitute, Charles has a very high opinion of how well she's done for herself in life. In fact, she's convinced that, should others be stripped of the privileges they were afforded in youth, none of them would have been able to compete with her today.
- Insecure - Charles's confidence is, in part, a ruse that fools even herself. The thought that she'd not able to live by her own will and power frightens her on a fundamental level, and should the idea be challenged, she'll be quick to snap.

Vestiges of the Vagrant KingMagic Ability: Less a specific Magic, and more the chasing of an ideal. Charles is in the pursuit of the leftover battle-gear of the Vagrant King, an oft-whispered legend amongst the aimless wanderers of Pergerine.
Wasteless - The vessel that once held the Vagrant King's trusty sidearm. Look to have once been of regal design, but its golden sheen and finer intricacies have been lost to time. Separated from its original contents, Wasteless has lost much of the utility that it once held, but its core ability remains. Whenever a blow, be it magical or physical, strikes Wasteless, a portion of its strength is absorbed and held within the ancient sheath. Whenever something is inserted into Wasteless, this energy is discharged into it, empowering its next blow.

Advantages - An effective tool for both offense and defense, Wasteless is like the embodiment of 'waste not, want not'. When used effectively, Wasteless allows the user to both defend against weakened enemy attacks due to its absorption, and then retaliate in kind.

Disadvantages - Not a shield. Despite Wasteless's enchantment, at the end of the day, it is not a tool built for defense. It is unwieldy and awkward, especially when used as the wielder's main avenue of protection. It is especially poor at defending against multi-directional, or large magical attacks.
Proficiency: 1 (1 Item)
Combat Equipment:
- Beetle - A lumbering blade that once belonged to an elegant lady knight. It is kept polished and clean, but it has long since dulled. Not much more than a, admittedly large, sword-shaped hunk of steel.
Non-Combat Equipment:
- Partner - A formerly white scarf, stained red with Charles's own blood. It has only ever had one owner.
Magical Items:
- N/A
- She has three mole-shaped birthmarks on her right ear.

cinnabuns · Sep 6, 2019

Aliases: Nai, Ann, Isi, Moon Chick, Cooking Mama

Gender: Female

Age: 22

Height: 5’9”
Personality:

Anaïs spent a lot of time being told what to do, how to act, etc. So she’s used to being bossed around, and she tends to not take offense when she is, unless the person is being incredibly disrespectful to her or someone she cares about. Although she is kind, Anaïs is very reserved. She would rather watch and observe than get involved when she notices arguments about to start, since once she’s dragged into it she will freeze up and say nothing at all (like a deer in headlights), allowing her to be a verbal punching bag. When this happens, it does make her resent whoever is saying mean things to her, since she connects such activity to her past.

Anaïs is very good about talking about her feelings. Or talking about anything, actually, once she knows the person she’s talking with doesn’t pose a threat to her in the moment. Since she speaks with truth, it might be a little jarring to those who might think she’s being facetious when she’s complementing parts of their being she appreciates. Until Anaïs can confirm the person isn’t going to attempt to stab her in the back, she can be a little...fidgety. It’s a nervous tick, but she comes off as nice as she can so she doesn’t get on the person’s bad side.

Anaïs, although anxious, does love people a lot. She can come across as too giving or naïve in a desperate act of self-preservation, but somehow, it’s real. She really does like taking care of others, complimenting them, making them feel good. It’s become a part of her that she used to despise, but now accepts and lives with. It allows her to actually be herself. She loves offering her assistance, offering a soothing touch, because it makes her feel happy to be honest with herself as much as she is with others that she loves doing all of this.

Biography:

Anaïs and her mother worked for a rich family in Twinbrooks. When Anaïs was younger, she would accompany her mother, until she was old enough to help her mother clean and cook for the family, earning just enough to pay their rent. She took to the activities quickly, enjoying any time she had with her mother; they would sing as they cooked and cleaned when they were alone, immediately becoming quiet when the family would return home because the parents hated when “the help” would be noisy.

Anaïs, when she was allowed breaks, was allowed to play with the children of the family, who were surprisingly kind in comparison to their parents. They helped her with her education and soon enough, she was tasked with taking care of them and cleaning up after them instead of helping her mother. She would have rather continued working alongside her mom, but since she was able to have more time with kids her age, it was a benefit, and she realized that. It gave her a chance to get better at socialization. When she could, she would head into the kitchen and, once she realized she had access to her cooking magic, she would make the meals quicker with her mother, giving them more time together. It wasn’t too bad, Anaïs thought.

Then one day, her mother got very sick.

Suddenly, Anaïs was doing all of the work, and the abuse her mother received when Anaïs had been playing with the children became her abuse. The mother would think the dishes weren’t clean enough. The tiles in the kitchen weren’t spotless. A child was crying, and it had to be Anaïs’ fault. Anaïs would be doing laundry, and something would break upstairs - it was Anaïs’ fault, of course. The children she used to get along with so well noticed that if they blamed their mistakes on her, they wouldn’t get into any trouble at all. And their parents believed every word of it, especially over Anaïs’. The mother would pull on her hair, slap her for her “disobedience”, meanwhile the father, when drunk, would get handsy. Too handsy. And instead of stopping her husband, the mother would berate and abuse her more for being desirable.

She wasn’t home when her mother passed away in her sleep. She had been at work, was exhausted, came home to make her mother food, and when she got to her mother’s bed, realized there was something very, very wrong. The food clattered to the floor as she immediately went to check on her mother, but it was much too late. She had been gone for hours.

Anaïs realized she couldn’t do this work much longer. But she had no choice.

Her mother deserved a tombstone, and she didn’t have the money for it, yet.

When Anaïs was walking home from work a few days later, she began to hear whispers. Soft, gentle whispers, in the back of her skull. She followed the sound as it got more coherent, louder, until she came upon a rock in the forest. It seemed normal, but once she picked it up and turned it around, she saw the symbol of a crescent moon on the back of it. Then, she saw the symbol drag itself from the rock onto her skin, up her arm, then her neck, until she felt a sharp pain in the center of her eyebrows. Anaïs rushed over to a creek, peering at her face, and was surprised to see the symbol had quite literally made itself at home where she’d felt the pain as it began to dull. Strange, she had thought.

She had gone to work the next day, ignoring the dull throb that came from her forehead still. Anaïs began cooking as she usually did, and when she heard an “uh-oh” from upstairs, she braced herself for the inevitable crashing sound that tended to come afterward. But this time, she heard a sound of awe. When she went to check, it seemed the vase that was to break was...floating? In front of their eyes, the vase went back to its spot on the table, gently, so it wouldn’t crack. It was then the child pointed at her forehead. Anaïs went to the bathroom, staring in the mirror, barely missing the end of the glow from the symbol.

Something was different.

Anaïs continued working with the family, dealing with the overbearing wife and the very touchy husband until she’d made enough to get her mother that tombstone, and enough to get herself out the door. As she worked, she began to hear more whispers. She had to follow the sounds, or they would keep whispering until they were found. It only made sense to keep going.

Anaïs found work at a bar, helping to mix drinks and sober up rowdy customers with nicely cooked meals. They would get handsy, sure, but it wasn’t as bad, Anaïs felt, especially since she didn’t have to see their wives or husbands in person. It was a better job where she got paid more, received tips, and it wasn’t inappropriate for her to flirt back, either. And once the rowdy ones realized how still she got when they got mad at her, they simmered down. They liked her enough and didn’t want to scare her.

The best part was that she didn’t feel as rundown as she tended to feel working for the rich family, allowing her more time to search for where the whispers were coming from. Sometimes, they were further out of the city. Most of the time, she was lucky, and they were just in the places people wouldn’t have looked. And there were the rare times she had to pay for them, but she would sometimes be able to get them for cheaper by batting her eyelashes and offering them a wonderfully home-cooked meal. It didn’t matter. Whatever she had to do to get the whispers to quiet down. The pain that seared on her skin when the symbols made themselves at home on her body were awful, but soon, it wasn’t that bad. She grew used to it, and just wanted to find more runes. She loved how they decorated her, how they helped her help others, how they kept her safe.

This was better for her, she felt it.

Character Strengths:

Easygoing; it can be hard to get on Anaïs' bad side. She lets most things flow off her back like water because she doesn't see the point. Don't push her, however.
Observant; Anaïs is very keen at noticing her surroundings. She’s also good at reading faces and lips.
Humble; She knows she’s powerful, but she’ll never let her ego take over. There is always more to learn, more to harness.
Genuine; Anaïs is very honest, but she knows sometimes honesty can be a bit harsh. So when she’s being truthful, she spins it in a positive manner so she doesn’t hurt the feelings of the person she’s talking to.
Sweet; Anaïs loves coming across like she wouldn’t hurt a fly. You catch more flies with honey with vinegar, anyway. She would hurt one, tho, depending on how bothersome it gets. Wait, are we talking about flies or people—

Character Flaws:

Highly irritable; did I say it was hard to get on her bad side? Hahaha, I mean it's also hard to get off of it once you're there unless you offer her something good in return,
Risk taker; Anaïs will do anything and everything because she lives for fun experiences. This can get her into trouble.
Greedy; Anaïs will also do anything and everything to get more runes or money to get more runes. Oops. Hunting for treasure is fun, though, right?
Tenacious; She will keep trying and trying until something breaks in her. It's not healthy in the slightest and she needs to take breaks, but I wouldn't want to tell her that. See point one.
People pleaser; She loves making people feel good, and will do what she can to help those she cares about to feel better, even if it's to her detriment.

Tattoo Magic
Magic Ability: Anaïs can generate constructs from the tattoos that line her body.

These tattoos come from runes she finds while she is on missions; they whisper to her to be found, and the whispers grow as she gets closer to them, only stopping when she finds them. Once she touches the runes, they make space on her body that match whatever power the tattoo will grant her. Most of her tattoos are animal themed; she currently has two large snakes along her arm, a bear along her right ankle, a small flock of crows on her left wrist, and a scorpion on her right wrist. She does have one nature themed tattoo; that is the moon located in between her eyebrows.

Advantages: Casting animals is really cool, man. She can get the element of surprise with them; she can send messages with the birds or use them to distract someone, can use poison with her snakes or the scorpion, and can offer a whole lot of protection with the bear. Anaïs can use a lot of the moon’s power with her moon tattoo; she can manipulate the gravity of two objects, as long as each object is under two hundred pounds. Diversity is incredible.

Disadvantages: Casting animals takes a lot of energy, man. It’s much easier for her to cast the smaller animals and to cast more of them at once than it is for her to cast the larger animals and multiple of the larger animals. Casting the birds and the scorpion? Easy peasy, makes her less tired. Casting the large snakes and then the bear? She might not stay conscious for that long afterwards. She can only use her moon tattoo by itself, as it is a power of nature. Any nature tattoos she may get in the future cannot be activated at the same time as another nature power. And of course, she must be conscious enough to direct the animals to whatever she wants them to do, or they will ignore her and, after a while, go right back to their positions on her body. Her moon power is much, much easier when it’s at night, of course, since the moon is more present in the sky. It’s quite limited when the sun is obviously present.

Proficiency: 3

Cooking Magic
Magic Ability: Anaïs can cook or grow practically anything edible, out of anything. These foods can have no effect, or they can also help or hinder whoever eats them, depending on Anaïs' intention when she was making it.

Advantages: Food survival is imminent. Because Anaïs has used this skill practically all of her life, it's very easy for her to use without worrying about depleting her energy. Anaïs can work with minerals like salt and iron as well, since they are used for nutritional purposes. The closer to real food the items she uses are, the more efficient the created food ends up being. Anaïs can even make soda or juice out of water.

Disadvantages: Okay, she can’t actually make food out of anything. She needs organic materials to make her meals. She cannot make meals out of living beings or creatures, however; the organic materials cannot have a pulse. If she thinks something negative when she's making her food, it will affect whoever eats it negatively. She needs to watch her intentions, or risk damaging the people she cares about (and damaging her friendships in the process).

Proficiency: 4
Combat Equipment:
Two silver daggers and a Swiss Army Knife.

Non-Combat Equipment:
+ A fanny pack where the daggers and some chalk rests.
+ A moon choker around her neck.
+ A pouch that goes inside the fanny pack, containing vials full of minerals so she can work on the go.
+ A first-aid kit that fits in the fanny pack.

Lysandra von Freytag-Loringhoven

Aliases:
Lysandra Davis

Gender:
Female

Age:
17

Height:
170 cm
Personality:
Subdued is one way to describe her. Lysandra rarely wears her emotions on her sleeves. Always second best, always just a side-note, always the afterthought, Lysandra has gotten used to stymieing her emotions. At best, one may notice the edges of her mouth creep upwards in what can be considered a smile, or her eyes narrow in mischief, but for the most part, she would rather keep her emotions in check. Even her speech is so flat and emotionless that it is extremely difficult to parse her dry and sarcastic wit.

This doesn’t mean that Lysandra does not have any emotions. Far from it. Within her heart, her emotions roil and rage, but she keeps it bottled up, barely showing them on the outside. She hides her burning emotions behind perfectly chosen words and a face of unshakable calm. It is her belief in the Vassilican faith that keeps her from losing the sight of her ideals as a knight, and she presents herself with fortitude and courage of one. She seemingly places virtue, strength, and wisdom at the forefront of her public persona, carrying herself with dignity and nobility. While she was never going to become an heir to her family's name, she was still a member of the esteemed House of Freytag-Loringhaven, and by the Creator, she was going to make sure she showed just that.

She seems to have some traits of a gadfly, however. Her lack of strong emotional expression allows her to get away with otherwise bare-faced lies, and she uses this to her advantage most of the time. She finds some joy in watching people get riled up and excited over something that might or might not exist.

Biography:
There isn’t much to be described about young Lysandra’s path in life. The second child of the House of Freytag-Loringhoven’s current generation of heirs. As are all second children, she will never have a future of taking part in any important businesses her family handles, this much was made clear to her the moment she could understand the full implications of this. Her choices were fairly simple- be a knight, or be married off for political purposes. Naturally, Lysandra chose the former. Better to serve as a knight to another noble family than to serve as a trophy wife, after all.
Lysandra undertook the same lessons of warfare that her brother had, learning of strategies and weapons just as he did. Remarkably, she took to the topics without any issue. It was almost as if she could memorise everything in the books and the lessons without a bat of an eye. She devoured books by the shelves, and when asked about their topics and their contents, she could recall all of it, word-by-word, without even glancing. Her brother noted her talent, and so did the lecturers and the knights who taught her swordplay, but her fate was already sealed. As much as her peers saw her as a competent leader, she would not take her brother’s role from him. Lysandra merely nodded her head when her brother informed her of this development. She understood perfectly. She would not take his role.

She did not know how to feel about this. She took her uncertainty and decided to invest it into learning magic. She picked up her characteristic Projection Magic easily enough, but found herself unable to pursue other branches of magic when she tried.

She later left her home, taking on the surname Davis as a front, to roam the lands of Pergrande, looking to hone her skills and magic for practical use. She made it clear that she wasn’t leaving her home for other career opportunities, and that she was going to return to become her brother’s most trusted knight, or something. Her brother wasn’t sure if she was being sarcastic or reassuring, but opted to believe it was the latter.

Character Strengths
For The Good Of The People: Lysandra always looks out for others. Having experience in supporting her other family members in the past, she is always ready to lend a helping hand. Even with her middling knowledge of magic, she doesn’t shy from using it extensively to assist others, rather than herself. It is her belief that those who can help, must do so. Any noble who shies away from this duty shouldn’t be considered one.

Tidy: To a certain degree. Her notes are penned down with such a degree of perfection and neatness that one would be forgiven if they had thought it was printed rather than written down. Her books, or rather, the rare ones that have been properly shelved, are arranged in order of topics and size, and even her messy piles of books scattered throughout are arranged by topic. One would go so far as to call it an organised mess.

Unbroken Focus: Once she starts getting into it, she gains unparalleled focus with the task at hand. In this mode of focus, she is completely uninterruptible, and undeterred by anything at all. Anything short of collapsing from exhaustion or her workplace completely collapsing will not stop her.

Genius: The textbook description of one. The way her mind processes facts and ideas is on a completely different level than that of others. She has tried to explain how her ‘compartmentalising’ works, but even her explanation is considered highly unorthodox. She is capable of memorising things, and forgetting them in an instant, but can easily call up that memory as if it were nothing. She rarely does this unless it’s important, though, so don’t expect her to pull off magic tricks like that for entertainment value.

Swordswoman: She has trained with a sword, and is proficient in both a longsword and a zweihander. She chooses the longsword for its ease of use.

Character Flaws
Ostentatious: Can be perceived as such. Her obsession with being a reliable and honorable person with only good intentions in mind may rub others the wrong way. She tries extremely hard to present herself in a chivalrous light that it comes off as almost pretentious.

Messy: She's a curious mix of both unkempt and tidy. She doesn't really bother too much about her personal appearance, and her hair is often in a mess. Her multitudes of books are scattered throughout her living space, to the point where she sometimes sleeps on said books. As mentioned, there is some semblance of order in this chaos, but occasionally, that chaos tends to spill over to places outside her own designated zone. One can sometimes find her book piles lying outside her room, for instance.

Oblivious: Her focus is so unparalleled that, at certain times, she can become completely unaware of things that happen around her. In fact, there are times where she completely disregards her basic health and wellbeing, going to lengths just to figure out something new.

Impatient: She needs the results now. Now, now, now! No waiting! Lysandra doesn’t like sitting around and waiting for things to happen or for someone to make decisions. Impulsive to a fault, she will almost always be the one to leave to do whatever that needs to be done.

Theoretical Experience: While she does have the knowledge of many existing magics and their use, she has no actual practical knowledge of them. Her books do not tell her of all the things that can be accomplished by practical experts.

Projection Magic
Magic Ability:
Magic that allows the user to create a physical astral projection. The forms vary from mage to mage, and some may change over time. They tend to present themselves as physical forces, and rarely have any special capabilities. As such, they tend to take much more physically convenient forms. It is theorised that Projections tend to take a form that represents their inner self at higher levels.

Lysandra is only currently able to project a copy of herself. Her projection seems to be only capable of fundamental combat maneuvers, and cannot speak or otherwise interact with others.

Advantages:
The biggest advantage the magic provides is that it allows for the user to attack from multiple fronts at once, and boasts quite high strategic utility. In higher proficiencies and levels, it can even rival most other magics physically, in both defense and offense. Some mages have even taken to channeling their other magics through their projections, furthering their utility. Projections also tend to grow with their users, sometimes being able to change their forms entirely at higher levels.

Disadvantages:
At early stages, the projections don't pose too much of a threat and require much thinking and skill to utilise properly. Projections also don't tend to have much higher thinking processes, and only being able to utilise, unless commanded to do otherwise, basic combat knowledge. Extensive knowledge of the utility of these Projections is one such growth focused on by most Projection mages.

Proficiency:
1
Combat Equipment:
Sword:
A steel longsword. To most, it is merely a weapon. To Lysandra, it is the soul of a knight. As such, she is often seen with it, and rarely leaves her room without it hanging by her hip.

Non-Combat Equipment:
-

Magical Items:

Freytag-Loringhoven started with Edward von Freytag-Loringhoven, who was personally awarded his nobility for his service to the King. All members of the House of Freytag-Loringhoven are militarily adept, even those who will inherit the House in time to come, and are learned in both military strategy in economic studies. Having a reputation for being the Sword of the Kingdom, Freytag-Loringhoven is known for their capable knights, soldiers, and formidable militia. With a serviceable defense that can be mounted by their own militia, combined with the fact that their position is one of the more defensible territories in Esgard, being surrounded by natural fortresses of forests and being atop a mountain, the Freytag-Loringhoven knights are free to act as deterrents wherever they are needed. Those who serve under the House have no complaints about the family, who try and maintain a neutral position in politics, choosing only fealty to the current King. While their members have had their own personal opinions over the years, none of them have yet to voice their objections.

Venrie Fleiss

Aliases: N/A

Gender: Male

Age: 18

Height: 5'5
Personality: Venrie is generally a neutral good guy, though sometimes he may dip into a bit of chaos. He's Kind, Loyal and hardworking, having been raised by a literal village of mostly older people whom he'd help on the daily whether it be with livestock or simple house chores. He's the type that would do anything for someone he considers a friend, which is honestly not that hard to become. A few kind words and friendly gestures would likely land you in his good graces, and if there is anything you need help with from the mundane to the more dangerous he'd be likely to try his best to help. However this trustful nature is naturally paired with being gullible and he often finds himself in trouble because of it. He assumes anyone he meets knows more of the world than he does considering his sheltered upbringing so as long as it's stated with confidence he's likely to believe it for a little while until he actually really thinks about it or it's proven otherwise.

Despite his gullible nature Venrie is actually quite bright, he was an avid reader in his home village, eating through every book in town time and time again. Most of them were texts about the natural world, of which his favorites were the encyclopedias about insects. Ask him about any bug and he'll be almost sure to know about it, similarly he knows much about other animals and plants, even beyond his home region of Berillo though that's the area he knows the most about. However now that he'd finally left his small village of Piligroth his thirst for knowledge is unable to be quenched and you'd be likely to find him in the guild library, going through book after book starting from the nature section.

Venrie is also quite the optimist, choosing to look on the brighter side of things more often than not. As far as he's concerned, everything is an opportunity to get stronger and learn even if he's doing so through his own mistakes. All he can do is try his best and he knows this, though still he is a bit harsh on himself for not getting what he deems to be enough done. He just wants to be able to help everyone he has come to know as a friend or family member, whether it is beneficial or not for himself. Seeing other's happy brings happiness to him as well as he is quite empathetic. If others cry then so does he, so he tries his best to make it better for the both of them, especially if that person is a child, or generally just anyone younger than him.

.Biography: Venrie was born on June 25th in the small livestock raising village of Piligroth, on mount Kirnola in the Berillo region. The population was a measly 74 but on that day it gained one more as his name was entered into the town's records, joining generations of his father's family that had called that mountain home for over a hundred years. He was a Fleiss, a prominent family in the small village as it had been them who originally settled the area. The life in Piligroth was simple but with simplicity came peace. The townspeople tended to their animals, exporting goat cheese and wool, as well as other animal products and no one really bothered them. Bandits weren't common in the tough terrain of Berillo so people lived without fear, feeling no need to lock their doors or worry about their kids playing outside alone.Life was good for the first few years of Venrie's life, he grew and developed normally and his mother and father loved him with all their heart.

However at age five tragedy struck. During a particularly awful raining season the town was having a lot of trouble, there were many pastures that flooded and in an effort to find a better place to graze their animals, Venrie's parents ventured to higher ground, assuring the tot they'd be back shortly before leaving him with a close neighbor of theirs. However, sadly, they never returned from this trip, having been caught in a landslide a small ways away from the village. That year was tough not only for Venrie but for many others in the village, many of the elderly got very sick and a good portion of their livestock passed away in one way or another. Though no one had lost as much as the young Fleiss had. He was the last of his line now that his father had passed, and as such the rest of the village took him in,taking care of him like he was their own, and in a sense he was. The village was like one big family- a fact that he was eternally grateful for.

As the years went on Venrie developed into a dependable young man, helping out whoever he could in the village. They never totally recovered from that awful year but things did get better, they could sustain themselves again though they were very poor but still their lives were back to some semblance of normal. Or at least mostly- save for the orphaned boy who managed to teach himself magic. Some people in his village of course could perform small feats, levitation and the like but Venrie's connection with insect went beyond that of a normal young boy. He could command and control them and by the time he was seven he'd become a hive.

And that leads us to today, Venrie, now a young man in his own right, eager to see the world had left his home. He longed to explore and have his own adventure as well as to help pay back everyone in the village he felt like he owed a debt to and the best way to do that as far as he could read in books was to join a mage guild.

Character Strengths

-Venrie grew up in the mountainous region of Berillo and as such he spent a lot of time in nature, he knows just about every bug you could find, and more or less has a decent amount of knowledge on many plants and animals too

-Also because of his upbringing in such a difficult terrain he's very sure footed and doesn't have much trouble climbing or hiking what other's might consider a hassle. He's very quick when he moves as well.

-Venrie maintains a very bright outlook on life, despite having what some may consider a tough childhood he assures them it only made him stronger in the long run.

-He is a very hardworking mage, having to help out a lot with livestock with repairs around his village to earn his keep, he thinks if you're going to do a job might as well do it right the first time so you don't have to do it again.

-Very generous, he's never had much money in the first place and has managed to be happy so he doesn't care about having much now, much of what he earns is sent back home and what he keeps mostly goes towards a place to stay, food, and generous tips.

-Very dependable, if he says he'll do something then he'll do it even if it costs him

-Has developed a healthy sized reserve of Ethernano, mainly because if he doesn't battle then he's then one that must keep his hive fed

Character Flaws

-Since he grew up in a pretty remote town Venrie is not accustomed to life outside of the mountains, everything is new and exciting to him but he doesn't quite get how city life works yet and often gets in trouble for getting in the way as a result.

-Also because of his upbringing he can be quite gullible, he trusts that whatever someone says to him will be the truth if it sounds likely enough, If someone told him everyone greets with a hug and a kiss in the city he probably wouldn't question it very much.

-Venrie is just about as stubborn as a mule. Once he sets his mind to something he's going to do it even if it ends up causing more harm than good.

-He can be quite impatient, he'd rather get everything done immediately and be the first to be complete rather than to hang around and wait for the time to come.

-Venrie also is awful at long-term planning. His entire plan when he left his village was to see the world and keep walking til he found a mage guild he wanted to join, he's not stupid by any means but coming up with and sticking to a plan is one of his weak points.

-He has a habit of taking on too much and then being harsh on himself if he couldn't complete it all at once, He's his own worst critic and sometimes he lets this get to him.

-Venrie can also be a bit scatterbrained if he has a lot on his mind or if his hive isn't doing particularly well. Often a low buzz can be heard from him at all times and sometimes it even distracts Venrie himself.

Magic 1

Magic Ability: Bug magic! A small colony of Ethernano consuming bugs live on Venrie's person at all time, him acting as a host and food source for them and in exchange they are loyal to him. He also has the power to control or speak to just about any bug making his power great for surveillance purposes. He can literally see things like a fly on a wall if he chooses.

Advantages:

-His bugs can create swarms around his opponent, biting them in an effort to drain their Ethernano

-When he jumps he can go much higher than the normal person, his colony able to give him an extra boost when doing so

-He can speak and even control bugs, able to hear their frequencies, allowing him to send bugs into the air or into a room in order to find enemy locations or spy on the unknowing.

-Will likely eventually learn bug substitution but I feel like to start that could be a big much for E rank, also as he progresses he might learn a second type of magic that i'm planning to be the ability to spin webs from his hands.

(basically shino's powers from naruto haha)

Disadvantages:

-Venrie isn't very strong, his bugs do most of the work to weaken his opponents and without them he'd be practically useless for anything besides surveillance

-His fighting style depends nearly completely on his ability to dodge attacks and have his bugs connect with his opponent.

-If it's raining his bugs have a much more difficult time flying and this can greatly hinder his abilities

Proficiency: Insect magic and evasive maneuvers!
Combat Equipment: Does his colony count as combat equipment? Other than that he likely only has some sort of survival knife

Non-Combat Equipment: The clothes on his back, probably one change of clothes and a backpack to carry food and supplies. Other than that he has a few clips he wears in his hair, some studs in his ears and a necklace shaped like a jewel beetle that belonged to his mother, as well as a small portrait of his parents and him together when he was young.

Magical Items: N/A
His bug's scientific name is Magicae Comedenti but they are commonly referred to as Magicom or simply Magi bugs.
This type of insect is pretty rare however and can only survive out of their habitat with a human host supplying them a food source.

Alistair Crimm

Aliases: The monster-hunting mage

Gender: Male

Age: 24

Height: 6'1''
Personality:
Whimsical, adventurous, and thrill-seeking, Alistair isn't the type that's afraid to take risks. The unknown excites him. He's always seeking new challenges and new things to learn. That's why a boring office job can never suit him. Alister gets easily bored and his concentration wavers when forced into to stay in the same place for extended periods of time or do repetitive work.

Alistair is brave and bold in his choices. While not often the brightest bulb in the shed when it comes to textbook knowledge or memorization, his ability to think outside the box is second to none. He doesn't limit himself to the conventions of modern society and he doesn't particularly care what others think of him. He's always questioning things (how things work, why things work, and how they can be improved upon). Alistair is open to new possibilities and is always ready to try something new. He's instinctive and trusts his gut when it comes to decisions. Whether it's about people or about life choices, he doesn't limit himself to confinements of logic. Even Alistair can't explain why he does things at times, why he thinks the way he does, or why he likes/dislikes something, but he's okay with that and doesn't feel the need to explain himself to others.

Alistair will choose his beliefs over any person, regardless of how close they are/were. If he feels what he is doing is wrong or it goes against his standards, he won't hesitate to switch sides. Alistair isn't the type to get attached to any one thing and has a hard time understanding obsession in others. He lacks commitment in life, magic, and even love. If he gets bored, he will move on. Whether it's a guild or a girl makes no difference. It's probably for this reason that he can't seem settle down. Marriage isn't for him, despite his parents' wishes, and he's been actively avoiding all potential suitors. He also likes to...experiment...when it comes to love.

Biography:

Alistair's family are by no means noble, but they've got the rags to riches thing going for them. His parents are the very definition of poor people clawing their way to the top. They are, after years of hard work (and minor sleazy dealings here and there), considered one of the richest merchant families in Pergrande with various businesses scattered throughout the continent. And they still want more. If they could buy their way into nobility they would. However, for one reason or another, the the titles they desired where beyond their reach . Therefore, the Crimm pair looked to their children to carry on their legacy.

Alistair's siblings adhered to their parents' wishes. How to act. How to think. How to pretend to be what they weren't. Only Alistair rebelled against his parents' teachings. While his twin brother trained to become a knight and his younger sister courted a noble, Alistair played with orphans. Spelunking in "treacherous" caves, hiking up "dangerous" hills, and wandering "wild" forests, Alistair looked for like-minded children who shared his views on adventure and exploration to hang with. As he grew older, Alistair's exploits became more and more daring. His parents tried to reign him in with little avail. They tried to get him into books. To turn him into a real wizard. Their son being a great wizard provided lots potential for nabbing a noble seat, after all.

They were quick to "enroll" (bribe) the 13 year old into a well-known guild in the Capital. However, Alistair stayed barely a week in the guild before he quit. This happened again and again. Some guilds lasted longer than others. However, the end result was always the same. That, of course, didn't mean Alistair learned nothing from the guilds he'd entered. Magic was interesting, after all. He purchased a magical die from a wizard in in guild #2. Grew to love magical creatures from a book he found in Guild #5's library. By then his parents had given up on forcing their child into any guild, finding it a waste of money, and let him learn whatever magic he wanted on his own. However, they hadn't given up on setting him up with a noblewoman. Or, at the very least, a proper woman with a decently substantial wealth that could force him to settle down. In truth, it was likely his parents' persistence on the subject that lead to Alistair to some of his more deviant impulses when it came to romance. Alistair's longest lasting relationship was with a male shopkeeper twice his age who researched magical creatures in his free time. He'd been 17 at the time and even though they broke up (a rather peaceful affair) it was the shopkeeper that inspired Alistair's next step in life.

At the age of 18, Alistair left his home to research magical creatures and improve himself as wizard. However, he would do so his own way. On his journey, Alistair encountered many monsters/magical beasts (mostly vicious) and often had to find ways to defeat them in order to perform his "research". Some times it was easy. Other times it would take weeks, or even months of observation/careful planning/luck. Interestingly, each time he was able to do so, his die grew a side. The jobs he chooses to take on will often involve defeating "monsters"/magical beasts that are causing trouble somewhere.

Monster Dice
Magic Ability: Dice Magic is a holder magic that links the user's magic to a magical dice and produces random, non-permanent magical effects depending on the roll. The magical dice grows as the mage does and gains additional sides depending the strength/magical power of the mage. Alistair's brand, Monster Dice, gives them the parts of various monsters and their related effects. Currently he has a 10-sided dice.

1 = Ogre's strength : gives him strength of an ogre.

2 = Fairy's eyes: lets him see ethernano and gives him access to illusion magic (still limited to his own capabilities as a mage)

3 = Harpy's wings: gives him harpy wings that are capable of high speed flight and strong enough to generate powerful gusts of winds

4 = Siren's voice: gives him the ability to produce siren songs, which can have various magical properties depending on the intent and skill of the user. Alistair's voice can weaken, strengthen, or heal the listener depending on his mood.

5 = Gorgon's hair: hair twists into living snakes he can manipulate.

6 = Nemean's skin: makes his skin very, very tough.

7 = Vampire's blood: makes it so his blood can turn others into vampires when it is consumed (the effect only lasts so long as as long as the magic dice effect is in play).

8 = Werewolf's claws: Gives him the claws of a werewolf.

9 = Dragon's breath: He blows fire.

10 = Pixie's size: Shrinks him to the size of a pixie.

Advantages:
Dice magic allows the user to produce various magical effects without having to go through the grueling process of learning the associated magic, though the strength and the duration of the effects are still dependent on the skill of the mage. There really isn't any limit to the types of magics that can be produced my the magic die (so long as the user can roll it and their magical power/reserves can maintain it.)

Disadvantages:
Dice magic users have no control over which magical effect they obtain. They can only use one at a time (generally). While re-rolls are possible, it results in additional expenditure of ethernano reserves, thus lessening the duration of the effect. Lose the magical dice and they can't use the magic. The more sides the dice obtains the less likely they are to get the effect they need in a given situation.

Proficiency:
5

Requip
Magic Ability: Requip magic allows the user to store items in a pocket dimension and summon it anytime, even during combat. He mainly uses it to store his magic die, change clothes, and equip himself with various weapons depending on the environment and the situation he is in.

Advantages:
It's flexible.

Disadvantages:
There's a limit to how much a person can store.

Proficiency:

cinnabuns · Sep 14, 2019

Tattoo: x
Full Name: Persephone Fischer

Aliases: Kore

Gender: Female

Age: 17

Height: 5'10"
Personality:

Kore is very monotone in speech; her words are cut in dryness, and her actions tend reflect this lack of expression, if not be the most expressive part of her. One may even say the latter is incredibly true; her actions speak much louder than her words, and it's easy to tell that she has an unbridled passion for fighting. Besides that, her other main passion is family. Kore is loyal to those she considers to be family, blood usually first over bonds, but in some cases she makes exceptions. She will do anything for someone she claims as a family member, since she believes their connections are incredibly important, as it something she learned from her family since she was very young.

Kore works well with others, but she loves being a lone wolf. She understands though that this isn't the case with guilds and even her family used to pair them off to work, unless it was a solo hunting mission. She just prefers not having to worry about another person's well being. It's just easier to think about herself than to have to think about more than one person. She's gotten used to it, however, and is good at working alongside someone else, especially if she's aware of their skills and can aid in making herself and her magic more useful.

When Kore is in a state of focus, it's easy to discern; she will put her hair up either with a hair tie or by splitting her hair into halves and then tying her strands together into a knot on top of her head so it doesn't get in the way of her work. She seems to hone in on whatever she's focused on, giving it her full attention, but that isn't the case. Kore is very much aware of her surroundings, especially in battle. Pretending to be focused on one thing sometimes gives her the upper hand, especially when an extra opponent assumes she isn't paying them any mind.

Biography:

Persephone's mother loved naming her children after goddesses. She and her father had six children, three girls and three boys. As the youngest, she was named after a young spring goddess when her mother caught sight of the tuft of soft pink hair on her head. Although she was babied by her mother as the youngest - giving her the nickname "Kore" - that didn't keep her from the training all the family members went through. When she was around six years of age, she began learning defensive moves. Even though she wasn't old enough yet to learn attack moves, Kore was already attempting them after her siblings would miss a hit on her, something that pleased her elders. She had a love for fighting, just like the rest of them. The fire was there. She began her attacks soon after, earlier than some of the rest of her siblings.

All Fischers received their crest on their thumbs, at the age of ten. It was tradition. It hurt like hell, but Kore felt as if she was finally in the family, now that she could learn the family magic, something she loved to watch her older sister Athena practice with. Athena - who was also called "Alkis" by their mother - had such a talent with Whistle Magic. Kore adored her older sister and Athena returned the love in kind, watching over Kore and helping her with her training as much as she could. The two were very close, and Kore wanted to grow up and be just like her. But, something went awry.

For some reason, Kore couldn't access the family magic at all. Her siblings excelled in it; but Kore had no luck with the magic. She tried, even with Athena's help, and it just never seemed to work for her. She would get up earlier than her family and practice, but her efforts were unsuccessful. Her parents didn't give up on her, and neither did her siblings. However, as her siblings, they did what siblings do, and they teased her a bit about it. She was great in everything else, especially for her age. But something must have been wrong with her if she couldn't do what they could. Kore was most hurt by Athena's teasing, even if it was gentle. It felt like she was further away from being just like Athena. Years went by, and she kept trying, kept attempting, but with no change. She was growing desperate as she watched her siblings, even her two newer, younger siblings seemingly gaining the ability much younger than she would have ever grasped it.

And then, one day, Athena disappeared without a trace.

Her parents were irritated at the lack of respect Athena had for tradition, since she was supposed to go in a few months and be another warrior for the King of Pergrande. Kore was more worried on if her sister was okay, but her parents, and the other elders, hardened down on the family's routines, barely giving Kore time to think outside of instinctual responses to attacks. When they felt the second eldest was ready and sent her off instead of Athena, then they began to relax a bit, going back to their regular schedule. Kore however, was still worried about Athena. When she would bring up this concern to her mother, the woman would scowl and go on about defective members of their family, causing Kore to never speak of it again, because she hated hearing her mother speak of her sister in such a way. And, of course, because she knew in her heart that if she did what she was planning to do, her mother would speak of her in the same way.

When Kore reached the age of seventeen, on a hunting mission for more fish for dinner, she came upon an odd whistle as she was returning with her bounty. She picked up the object, heading home and, after their meal, she stayed up late trying to comprehend what it was. The metal read "Anubis" in a strange language, an old language she somehow knew. She waited until the next day, when she had a break, to test out the whistle when she was alone.

To her surprise, a jackal appeared to her, and instead of attacking like she thought it would, it sat, tilting its head at her, as if it were waiting for a command. She recognized that this was the Anubis, but he did not speak to her. He, however, made it easier for her to hunt, with his keen sense of smell. He would disappear after twenty minutes or so, but the more she trained alongside him, the stronger their connection became, and the longer he was able to stay near her. She decided to keep this secret, however, using this newfound magic as a reason she was ready to leave her family's reservation and begin the search for Athena. Kore left in the middle of the night, determined to bring Athena home, or at least to make sure she was alright.

Character Strengths

Headstrong; Kore is very bold, and seemingly lacks fear, with a great will. She also has an awesome poker face.
Survivalist; The Fischers are excellent hunter-gatherers. Even in recent years they've kept up the traditions of their ancestors, making sure the young are aware of their past skills and what helped them thrive in Pergrande. Kore is great at hunting and making traps to catch people and animals, and can distinguish poison plants and berries from useful ones.
Eidetic Memory; Kore has always had a love of memorizing stories, strategies, maps, etc. She can almost replay things she's seen in the back of her mind as well, without the need of some sort of mnemonic device to remember it.
Hunger for Battle; Kore has spent much of her youth sparring alongside and with her brothers, sisters, cousins, uncles, aunts, mother, and father. She always expects a fight and is always willing to start one once she perceives that there is a threat. She finds fights fun, and considers them opportunities to learn new battle tactics.
Battle Strategist; Because of those aforementioned spars, Kore is constantly trying to think a step ahead of her opponent so she can avoid a hit. Interpreting the moves of her opponent is the name of her game, using those moves against them if she is able. She can't avoid all hits, of course, but that doesn't mean she can't try.
Ambidextrous; Kore can use boffa ha hands. Exciting.

Character Flaws

Brash; Kore is assertive, and confident in her abilities. No one can take that from her.
Maybe Too Hungry for Battle; Kore might start fights more often than she should. She says it's for the chance to learn more, but she just kinda has a thing for fighting. It's in her blood.
Lack of Care; It's not that Kore doesn't care, it's just that...no. No, let's not lie about it. Kore really just doesn't give a shit. She'll say or do what she wants to say or do unless you can convince her otherwise.
Protector to a Fault; Kore will be the first to defend or attack on the behalf of others. It's just instinct to do so. If she dies in the process, then so be it. It would have been an honor.
Tradition First; Kore will follow her family's traditions before she follows anything else. She defaults to what she knows best. The only thing she didn't do that went with her elders' wishes was leaving to find her sister and to make sure she was alright.
Sarcasm Lies Here; Very very snarky, especially when there's arguments happening. She doesn't see the point of going back and forth when there's things to do.

Holder Magic: Dog Whistle Magic
Magic Ability: A type of holder magic, the user is granted access to the Dogs of Old (in the Canidae family) through whistles that summon them. The Dog of Old comes through a portal to assist the user, staying only as long as the user's ethernano reserves don't run out.

Advantages: Along with appearing as the animal they are known for, each Dog of Old has their magical strengths that can aid the user. They have all the natural abilities of the animal they appear as, as well.

Disadvantages: The animals have a mind of their own. Depending on the user's relationship with the god summoned, nothing might happen at all. Some of the Dogs of Old are tricksters; they may trick the user instead of their target. It all depends on their connection. Also, until the user's proficiency grows, the Dog of Old is summoned as the form of its patron animal. Once the proficiency raises, the user is given access to a second magic for the Dog of Old, and the Dog of Old can speak freely to the user, in a mostly human form. At the proficiency level of one, the user has one magic available from the Dog of Old, and can only speak to the Dog, who cannot reply back in words, but only in action. Only one Dog of Old can be summoned at a time, and the Dog cannot last longer than an hour and a half before disappearing at level one proficiency.

Proficiency: 1

Current Whistles Owned: 1

Anubis;
The Egyptian God of mummification and the dead, whom he guides on their path to the afterlife. His current form is that of a jackal. To assist the user, he is able to quickly wrap up a target with strong bandages if the user requests him to do so. Besides that, he can act as a regular attack dog, with a keener sense of smell than the other Dogs of Old due to being able to withstand the smells of the embalming process. He is very loyal to his work.

Plumeria Astarte

(Artist: Fukari)
Aliases: Plume (preferred nickname), The Fragrant Witch

Gender: Female

Age: 19

Height: 178cm
Personality:
Plume could be cold and aloof at times, owing to her childhood. She also possessed the ability to mask her true self quite well. Fortunately, this is where the influence ends. Her family instilled in her a disgust at materialism, pride, greed and status. She feels strongly about freedom, due to both families in her life. The extra freedom did, however, cause her to become too relaxed. Even in extreme adversity, she would remain level-headed as she had survived far greater pressures from her biological family quite early in her life.

To oversimplify her personality, many people would describe her as a hippie. She was free-spirited, open, caring and determined to a cause. William had also fostered in her a love for helping those in need, whether they truly deserve help or not. Her family also instilled forgiveness in her, curbing any anger she harbours to create a peaceful young woman.

Her time living off nature led to her becoming accustomed to herbal treatments and aromatherapy, as well as a host of other holistic practices. She feels very protective over this living sanctuary and stands up against any acts against nature or its creations, especially pollution.

Biography:
Plumeria’s early life was a masquerade. She was manipulated, controlled and groomed to be the perfect daughter by a noble family obsessed with status and wealth. They weren’t the most influential, but they were determined to turn that around and make their name known. Plume suffocated in that environment and eventually she rebelled by running away from home. It was meant to be a statement, she fully intended to return. However, a kind nomadic family found her and, after she lied about being homeless, happily took her in.

Within the many years she accompanied them, a certain individual stood out. A mage by the name of William took a liking to her. He taught her magic and pried the truth from her ever so slowly, forming a fatherly bond with young Plume. Given the circumstances, they continued to care for her despite her trickery. They quickly became family to her and taught her everything she knows and loves like living off the land and aromatherapy. It was not a life of luxury, but they managed to survive, and they were always happy.

After many years of travelling and learning through the vast lands, William fell gravely ill. It was an unknown disease that strained their finances. The cure would not come cheaply either, but he was admitted to a hospital after their many failed attempts to treat him. They were becoming desperate, Plume especially. Her sweet family disbanded, seeking out work to provide for William’s treatment. She set off too, searching hopefully for someplace she could earn her way with what little skills she has to offer.

Character Strengths

Calm: No matter the amount of chaos Plume finds herself in, she remains cool and collected. Some say she even thrives in rowdier environments.

Flexible: Plume readily explores various perspectives and encourages others to share their unique point of view as she is quite open-minded. This also makes her a bit more analytical and accepting than most people. She is also flexible in the sense that she can easily adapt to new situations and environments. Thanks to yoga, she is also physically flexible. (A triple threat).

Good-natured: Rumours say she is kind, warm and friendly. She readily helps those in need, is an excellent listener, and quite generous given how little she has. Impressively, she holds no grudges and avoids violence however possible.

Nature enthusiast: Being in tune with nature means being able to survive in it, as well as being able to predict it with better accuracy. As a benefit, she is also far less squeamish than women generally are.

Therapeutic: Her honey-coated voice, her soft skin, her warm smile, her dreamy eyes, her intoxicating scent… She is a living spa. To top it off, she loves honing her holistic practices to help others relax and unwind.

Character Flaws

Carefree: Being carefree sounds good, but for Plume it can mean being plain lazy or negligent of her responsibilities. If there’s no immediate sense of urgency, she can often shrug off any problem or work at a painfully slow pace. Unless it involves health and wellbeing.

Confusing: Being an extremely spiritual person with many different perspectives churning in her mind, she can sputter utter nonsense at any moment’s notice. Her ramblings can range from metaphorical soliloquies to philosophical ponderings.

Invasive: The words “personal space” are non-existent in Plume’s dictionary. She can also be blunt and even come across as nosy when asking questions (especially regarding one’s health).

Unashamed: Likewise, Plume doesn’t guard her own privacy very well. She is unphased by embarrassing situations, much to the remorse of anyone accompanying her.

Altruistic: Far too trusting and kind, she can easily be deceived or backstabbed. She forgives easily and will help the enemy towards the right path without judgement regardless of their crimes. Her own health and safety come second to those she loves and to the potential to help others in need.

Aroma Magic
Magic Ability: A type of magic utilising aromas trapped in vials. Once a vial is opened, the magical scent escapes into the air. When the scent is inhaled, it inflicts one of various effects on the victim, dependent on the aroma used. The type of aroma is usually crafted by the mage before being stored in the vials. Effects range from speed enhancing to poison inflicting and more. The more concentrated the scent, the stronger the magic effect. Also known as perfume magic.

Advantages: Gas diffuses in air, allowing for a wide range of attack. Aromas are also quite versatile in their uses; they can be beneficial or harmful, self-enhancing or offensive. They have a variety of status affects to choose from, allowing more freedom for the user to pick and choose which aromas to use for specific situations. A scent is quite difficult to avoid, it simply needs to be breathed in for the aroma to take effect. Doesn’t draw a lot of attention, allowing for stealthy use.

Disadvantages: Wind or stronger scents can block the aroma from taking effect. The aroma also only takes effect in a gaseous environment, rendering it ineffective in liquid and unable to penetrate through solids. The scent must be inhaled to take effect. Vials are made of glass and can break easily, releasing the aroma unplanned. Without vials, aroma magic is unusable.

Proficiency: 1

Aromas:
Soothing aroma – Effects can range from a docile, relaxed mood (in very small quantities) to instantly passing out from drowsiness (when concentrated). Smells faintly of chamomile and lavender.
Combat Equipment: Although she would never use them in combat, she carries her acupuncture needles with her in case she needs a to perform a quick kill or paralyse an enemy directly.

Non-Combat Equipment: Vials carrying her various aromas.

Adelaide Florizel

.
Aliases: Addie, often refrains from giving last name in case someone connects it to her brother

Gender: Female

Age: 18

Height:5’4
Personality:

Adelaide’s personality changes drastically depending on who she’s with. If her company is a client she’s capable of being very professional a respectful. However if she were with friends instead she’d likely crack jokes and tease, followed up by a sincere compliment. And oppositely if she were around someone who intimidated her, like her brother, Leander, she’d be much more timid, avoiding talking as to not draw their attention. Her personality seems as ever changing as anything else in life but at her core she tends to just be a smart, genuinely kind girl.

Adelaide walks the line between introvert and extrovert, too much time alone or too much time with people will drive her equally as crazy. She needs balance, time to decompress with a good book and a cup of tea as well as the excitement that comes with some good group training or a drink with friends. Both are required for her happiness.
Adelaide is also quite the empath and will often feel emotional pain when seeing her friends or comrades in distress, she wants to be able to protect everyone even though she knows she can’t, especially with her current magical abilities.

In contrast to her very kind and soft personality traits Adelaide is also a bit of a perv,,, she likes ladies what can I say? And this trait I imagine will get her in a bit of trouble sometimes but with her big puppy dog eyes hopefully she can worm her way out of a punishment.

Finally, a big part of her personality that she is trying to overcome is her guilt and her insecurities. She’s not very confident in her own magic abilities nor in herself as a person and she constantly feels the burden of her guilt surrounding her brother and how she left him as well as the heists he made her help commit.

Biography:
Early life:
The Florizel family was once quite influential- they weren’t exactly nobles by blood but through generations of hard work and good fortune they had managed to open their very own vineyard near the coast in Vassilica where the made wine with recipes that had been crafted and refined by their family over the better part of a century. This wine was so smooth and nice in fact that a few well known nobles even began to serve it at their parties which in turn caused a spike in business for the Florizel family. Things were going well and in this time of prosperity the current head of the family married a woman from a low level noble family and had two children, A son and rightful heir, Leander, and a beautiful daughter with long silver hair, Adelaide. Their family felt complete and it seemed they were living a dream. At least until the day of the accident. It was a particularly hot day in August, Leander had since grown into a rambunctious young boy of ten and Adelaide was a darling girl of five. The two of them had been playing in the parlor of their family manor, Adelaide with a new doll her father had brought back home from a business trip and Leander with toy soldiers when in the distance they heard soft screams coming from out in the vineyard, and as both of them dropped their toys and walked over to the window they saw it. Row among row of grape vines on fire along with the building the wine was made in. Right in front of their home stood a tree with swings attached to it’s broad branches and as soon as it caught fire their home didn’t stand a chance, quickly catching ablaze.
Only moments later their father rushed in, hugging them both tightly to his chest, assuring the crying Adelaide that everything would be alright. He told Leander to keep a close eye on his sister and take care of her until they were together again before ushering the children out of the room and towards the grand staircase that led down to the foyer. He had to go back for their mother after all, whom had been sewing up in the library. Leander nodded and took adelaide’s hand, dragging her along to the outside. And that was the last time she saw either of her parents alive. The house collapsed with them both still inside and just like that they were orphans and Leander was the technical head of the family household.

Age’s 5-11
Over the next few years “Family members” came out of the woodwork, one after each other under the guise of helping the two children. Some promised to rebuild the vineyard if given enough of a grant to do so- other’s vowed to find a boarding school well enough to take the two in until they were old enough to return home on their own only to disappear with what they had said to be tuition. One after another they came- bringing gifts to show their good will only to take in the end, tearing away at the carcass of their sedentary fortune. Within three years time the land which once held their family manor was foreclosed upon. A fraction of their original fortune remaining, something equivalent to a fisherman’s salary during a particularly good tuna season.
But the two didn’t know how to use it- how to invest, how to find a home they could afford. It was around this time however that one final relative appear to promise them salvation. Their mother’s half brother, Uncle Roland Chamberlain. They had never heard of him and thus didn’t know his bastard status. They only knew that he bore their family name and had pictures and letters showing his connection to their mother and like most naive children tend to do, they believed every word he said, about how he wished he’d gotten their sooner and how he wanted to raise them as his own.
But as soon as they boarded his merchant ship, a place of shady deals and unsightly depravity, they knew they’d made a mistake. The two of them were essentially free labor and expected to pull their weight as such, long grueling days at sea made Adelaide’s brother callus and protective of her, even more so when she begun to show an affinity for magic. Her’s came very naturally, she’d simply been peering at a map one day and all of a sudden she could see where things are with no indication. First it was simple things she had connections with- pointing to her family home without ever being shown where it had been before, even being able to do the same with her family’s ski lodge they used to have in the southern part of the white reaches. But soon enough this power changed to things that were much more convincing. A crew member would let her hold a token of a loved one and within a few moments she’d be able to point to where that person was living now.
Everyone was impressed with this gift, especially her uncle whom quickly decided to exploit it for his own gain. Meanwhile, Leander tried his best to learn magic as well, in an attempt to prove his own worth. The two of them were both sick of being treated this way but Leander was at the point he couldn’t take it anymore.
After a particularly unsuccessful scout for a treasure Their uncle was furious, blaming Adelaide for the failure. She attempted to explain, telling him that without a proper token to connect to the object it was hard to be completely accurate but he wouldn’t take that as an answer. He held her by the scruff of the neck, dragging her onto the deck from his quarters where he then proceeded to dangle her out over the roaring waves of the darkened sea, knowing full well her inability to swim. She, merely 11 at the time of course cried and screamed and her brother came, prepared to fight tooth and nail for her. As soon as Leander saw the commotion thunder boomed in the sky, the ship rocking forward and back as the seas got more and more choppy, lightning striking closer and closer. Leander himself drew the rusty decrepit sword he carried, walking towards his uncle, commanding he unhand his sister. Unnerved, the coward of a captain, brought her back over the wooden deck and dropped her, unsheathing his own, pristine blade. He warned this would not end well for Leander but before he could finish his sentence the boy raised his sword, lighting striking it and encircling it only for it to be plunged within the man’s gut. He was dead before he hit the ground and just as quickly as it came the storm parted, Leander announcing himself captain of the ship, telling anyone who had a problem they could either fight him or hop ship.

Recent, Ages 12-now
After their uncle’s death Leander did manage to usurp the role of captain. Using the magic he’d been working on since Adelaide discovered her own to keep the crew members who stayed in line. He ran a tighter ship than the previous captain, paying attention to every detail as if this too could be ripped away from him in a mere moment. Things seemed better though- Adelaide was given nicer clothing than the rags she had before, she was allowed to read all the books and look at any map she wanted, and on top of that she was given her own cabin. As Leander said- she was the only girl on board and deserved her own privacy.
Life was looking a lot more positive. . .at least until Leander began coming to her with his plans. At first it wasn’t much different than what her uncle had done, merely giving her treasure maps to try and pinpoint locations- A business of which Leander established his ship as his very own guild for, not that it was approved by the council or anything. But soon they jobs took a different turn. The items he was having her try to find weren’t mere abandoned treasure- they belonged to people. Priceless artifacts he would then turn around and sell. Then even worse were the kidnappings- Young children, wives and husbands, even elderly parents were fair game to her brother. He would manage to steal some sort of token only to have her track their movements at all times, waiting for the perfect move to strike. Then he would take them only to ransom them back. He assured her it was fine, they weren’t hurting them after all. . .yet still the looks of terror on the captives faces were frightening enough.
Even so she could bare it until a certain young girl. She swore up and down her father had gone broke and was merely putting on a facade of wealth- but Leander simply wouldn’t believe her, and when her father showed up to offer himself instead of his daughter. . .something in Adelaide’s brother seemed to break. Before she knew it both the young girl and her selfless father were on the floor of the deck, blood pooling beneath them, the sea water on the deck mixing with the dark red liquid.
After that the heists were messier, bloodier, more and more casualties racking up. It was unbearable for Adelaide. Her brother had become so controlling, locking her away in her room most of the day. She had to get out. She didn’t know how to fix her brother. Trying to talk to him about it only seemed to enrage him more and often ended in some form of punishment that was aimed to make her “Better” whether it was physical or mental.
After months of waiting for the perfect moment she found it. They were docked for a refill on supplies and she had convinced a crew member who she feared had a bit of a crush on her to help her escape. He managed to secure the keys as her brother oversaw the restock and before she even knew what was happening she was gone, wheeled off hidden in an empty barrel by the crew member. She’d taken what she could carry and was on her way, barely anyone to turn to and an entire region away from the last person she could remember showing her kindness aside from her brother’s own crew.
A certain shadow mage whom had seen her and her brother on the street when she was merely six, right before her uncle had come to take them away. He’s seen she was sick and the two of them were rather skinny and had stopped, taking time from his mission to buy them both a bowl of soup and dazzle them with some of his magic. As a parting gift he’d given her the second edition of a fairytale novel he’d seen her carrying and that was just the thing she’d use to find him! He’d said that anyone could be a wizard someday and that’d just what she was going to do!.
As she sprawled out her map on the side of the road she threw down four lavender marbles, the tiny spheres spinning and spinning over the map of the kingdom of Pergrande until they finally stopped, encircling a city between two rivers- and off she was on her journey.

Character Strengths

-Natural sense of direction, Adelaide is great at following maps and her gut feeling about direction sends her in the right direction nearly every time.
-Resourceful, she doesn’t expect anyone to do things for her and most of the time she’ll exhaust her own resources before she seeks help. Adelaide is very good in a pinch, thinking of creative uses for things she has available to her.
-Adelaide is very perceptive of her surroundings, often picking up on the emotions and behaviors of people around her. In addition she can quickly sus out if something of hers has been moved or tampered with.
-Adelaide is very gracious and thankful, when she does need help she only seeks out those who have shown her she can trust them, but those who have been called upon to help her she is eternally grateful to. And you can be sure that she will repay the kindness whenever she is called upon.
-Clever, Adelaide is a smart cookie, she’s good at problem solving as well as formal subjects like reading and history.
-Genuine, She is sincere with her words and it shows. She tries her best to be as real with her guildmates as possible and generally that just makes her a very kind and honest girl.

Character Flaws

-Slightly perverse, Growing up surrounded by sailors Adelaide may have picked up a bit of their humor as well as their love for gorgeous women, her goal when she was a child was to marry a real life mermaid and lets just say it hasn’t changed much except now she might accept someone with two legs.

-Cowardly, Adelaide doesn’t have much she can do in a fight, seeing as though none of her magic is very combative, thus she’d much rather run than fight and support from the sidelines than jump into the fray. She has a low pain tolerance and knows it so you won’t see her being the first to start a guild hall brawl.

-Adelaide is very hesitant, she doubts anything she does for a while before she actually gets down to doing it, which is one of the reasons why she hadn’t run away any sooner
-Obedient, Because of her tendency to do what others tell her to do in hopes of avoiding conflict she’ll often go along with things even if she knows they’re wrong, telling herself she has no choice. She still guilt ridden about this now and is trying her hardest to think for herself, even so she finds herself falling into her old ways frequently.

-Clumsy, Adelaide isn’t the most coordinated of the bunch, often tripping over her own feet and dropping things. This is partially because she doesn’t have her land legs yet, still compensating for the sway of the boat, and also partially because she didn’t have a lot to eat as a child and was always a bit weak because of it.

-Insecure, Adelaide knows she has a ton of flaws, so as soon as someone points them out she’s quick to believe them and get self conscious of herself and her skills.

Magic 1

Magic Ability:The use of paper magic involving Divination and Communication.

Advantages:
-If a mission involves finding something then she’d your girl! Missing pets? No problem! Your family jewels have been stolen? She’s got this! Missing persons board? She’ll find them all for a flat rate. If you need help finding what’s been lost then she can take care of it. Using any map along with four lavender colored marbles she can pinpoint both people and objects with varying degrees of accuracy.What is being seeked always ends up in the square the four marbles create but how big that square is depends heavily on the connecting item she is given to use as well as her own focus.
-As for missions that take place over a larger terrain and involve splitting up she’s also a useful addition. Adelaide carries large scrolls on her bag which when unfurled begin to float around her. With them she can create a mental link with anyone who wears a paper hat she folds. This makes keeping in touch simple when it’s crucial in a battle.

Disadvantages:
-Next to no combat usages
-Like literally none

_If she doesn’t have a connection item she can’t locate something or someone she’s never held or met
-Her communication links can currently only work within a radius of 4 nautical miles of herself.

Proficiency: 1
Combat Equipment:No combat equipment!

Non-Combat Equipment:A small pouch of divination marbles, three large scrolls of blank paper, a few rolled up maps of different regions, some origami paper in various colors and sizes, her clothing,
