The Swiftest Shot In The West
Name:
Clair O'Reilly
Age:
32
Gender:
Female
Bio: In her youth, Clair was a bit of a rebel. All through her normal schooling and on until perhaps her second year in the Academy Clair was well known for starting fights and was hauled in to see the principle on multiple occasions and even suspended on one occasion due to the damage she had dealt to her opponent. By no means was Clair a bully, however, no she only participated in a fight when she herself was the target of aggression. Yes, she was easily pushed into the fight but she was never the instigator. Which is probably why nothing past suspension happened.
Clair was an alright student within the academy. She performed alright in all subjects but she didn't really excel in any until Combat classes and of course, pyromancy was thrown into the batch. In these two subjects Clair more than excelled, she went from an average student to top in her class. In her time studying at the academy, not a single person from her own year group bested her in combat. In fact, it took the top in the class two years ahead of her to end her victory streak. An admirable feat that earned her a spot in the defending corps/ battlemages following her graduation. It was during her training with this group that the higher-ups became aware of her true potential.
You see up until this point no one had really focused in on pyromancy, yes it was thought with a broad brush in the academy and yes Clair showed an affinity for it but after being properly trained in the art she accomplished something very few mages in history ever had. She conjured up the hell flame. A magic flame that burned a black and blue colour, could take physical form and burn hot enough to effortlessly melt through steel. It was remarkable and she was encouraged to enhance her magic through focused practice. And she did just that.
Time went on and eventually, Clair came to do what all battle mages do. A templar. Rare to most mages nowadays not to those sworn to protect others from them. Clair put up a good fight for her first battle but ultimately lost. Following her loss, she trained more strictly and developed her own fighting technique to make use of her unique magic. Following her return to combat Clair took the lives of many a templar and upon reaching the age of thirty she was invited back to the academy to teach and provide on-campus security. She accepted and well that's where she currently works and resides.
Magic Specialization:
Pyromancy
Combat Skills:
Clair is extremely skilled in combat. Not only is she perhaps one of the best pyromancers the academy's ever seen but she is also skilled in using almost every kind of weapon to some degree as a result of her magic. Having spent a lot of time as one of the Academy's battlemages/defenders following her graduation Clair can more than hold her own against multiple enemies and it is in fact against multiple enemies that she shines. She has the highest training the academy can give and in times of great trouble, she is sure to be called upon.
Weapon(s):
Clair is capable of creating multiple weapons from her 'hellfire' and she is skilled in using them all but she is far more comfortable with a sword than anything else.
Spirit Animal: Tigre
Personality (At least three sentences): Clair is a strong and assertive woman who despite her history still seems to be a child at heart. She enjoys playing pranks and annoying her colleagues and can also be very often caught skipping her own classes to do so or to sleep. Clair, however, is an excellent teacher for what it's worth. She prefers a hands-on approach and can turn a complete rookie in combat into an actual threat with very limited time. Clair is a very approachable character and she does her best for students who turn to her in times of need. She however is very harsh on those who abuse their powers and or bully the weak.
