Please find the CS template below. You can use any code that you like, and if you need any help filling in the CS send me a message. If you have a question about the Academy or any other aspect of the story that I think other people might find useful, I will answer your question in the OCC.

There is room to be flexible and creative in the CS - take advantage of that. I would love to see your take on magic.

Please note that I would like to accept as many characters as possible. But this is my first RP. Therefore, I don't know how many characters will be accepted for the final story.

Sorcerous Information:
[You can create your own secondary-level school of sorcery and 3 examination subjects. At least one subject must reflect the character's sorcerous speciality. If two players want to establish a pre-Academy background, attending the same school would be a good place to start. Please do not establish relationships until your character has been accepted.]

Extracurricular Academy Activities:
[Here, you can be creative. Is your character artistic? Why not join the Paintbox? Are they sporty? Well, how about dragon racing? I don't mind people having fun here, but please don't create a million different clubs and societies - especially since they won't feature heavily in the RP. If you like the sound of one someone else has created, use it in your own CS.]

Personal History:
[Again, if you require any help with world building, please don't hesitate to contact me. Your character may be a Citadel sorcerer or a mortal sorcerer. Mortal sorcerers are rarer, and if too may people chose the mortal path I will randomly assign mortality to a set number of players. The remaining mortal sorcerers will need to switch to the Citadel I understand that this may be the most difficult part of the CS but I am here to help as much as I can.]

Ethan Maynard Odenkirk
"Don't trust a single thing I say."

General Information Nickname:
Phoney (insult).

Age:
22.

Birthday:
17th December.

Gender:
Male.

Sexuality:
Homosexual.

Nationality:
Citadelian.

Languages:
English (Proficiency) || Latin (Intermediacy).

Hair Colour:
Russet.

Eye Colour:
Chocolate brown.

Physicality:
Ethan is lean, agile, and battle-rugged, standing at six foot.

Distinguishing Feature:
He has a pale, fish-bone scar across his chest from a duel at Alnus House. The injury still causes him pain from time to time, especially after strenuous activity.

Relational Information Parents:
Lysander Odenkirk - Father
An erstwhile Judicator of the Grandstand, Lysander Odenkirk repudiated his position at the Circus after a personal scandal. Although Ethan’s flair for illusionism, and his lust for victory, may have been inherited from his father, their relationship is very poor.

Serana Odenkirk (née Sybilla)
Headmistress of Orchida School of Sorcery, Serana Odenkirk is a kindhearted and compassionate prophetess. Of her three children, Ethan is her favourite, even though she would never openly admit it.

Personal Relations:
Beatrice Odenkirk - Sister
Beatrice is a baleful sorceress who is currently seeking election to the Stand. She attended Lyrithna as a sorcerer of Malum House, and graduated into a high-ranking position within the Circus.

Daniel Odenkirk - Brother
Daniel is an otiose sorcerer who, unlike any other member of the Odenkirk family, is currently residing in the mortal realm. His precise location unknown.

Personal Information
For the most part, Ethan is not a hospitable sorcerer. He is determined, purposeful and ruthless, with a bloodthirsty instinct. Obsessed with victory, Ethan desires nothing more than to be at the very top of the food chain. People say he stalks the halls of Lyrithna for the thrill of the kill, and it is rumoured that he challenges the most influential sorcerers to midnight duels in order to snatch their authority. When there is blood in the water, Ethan singles out weakened prey for a takedown.

At his core, Ethan can be a compassionate person, but very few people have peeled through enough layers to notice. His closest friends claim that he is a good comrade to have, although hardly any student believes them - many wonder whether his ‘friends’ are merely quarry vying for protection. Ethan’s true personality is largely unknown - most students at the Academy speculate about Odenkirk rumours - as only a handful of sorcerers are willing to get close to the apex predator.

From time to time, Ethan’s illusions are bizarrely playful. Although discouraged from frivolity by father, he actually enjoys laughter and amusement.

Strengths and Virtues:
Ambitious. || Courageous. || Determined. || Guileful. || Persuasive.

Weaknesses and Vices:
Abrasive. || Callous. || Mechanical. || Secretive. || Untrustworthy.

Fear:
Ethan is not fond of dragons, and keeps them at a distance. As a child, he was burned by a guard-dragon whilst visiting his father at the Circus. Since then, Ethan has hated any fire-breathing beast. He will attend Academy Races from time to time, but he always stays furthest from the Dragon-pit and closest to the exit.

Desire:
Ethan hopes to one day beat his sister to the Grandstand. After years of being stifled by her achievements, Ethan desires to outshine her in every way imaginable.

Secret:
His paternal step-brother, a sorcerer named Titus Zaut, is also attending the Academy. Very few people know of their connection, and both Ethan and Titus keep to themselves.

Hidden in his bedroom, Ethan has a chest sealed with a powerful blood-lock. Inside is an illusionary grimoire he stole from his father before attending Lyrithna. Although the grimoire itself is available in the library, Ethan’s version is filled with Circus secrets written in a code he has yet to crack. Ethan doesn’t really care about what is written on the pages - in actuality, he stole it to aggravate his father.

Likes:
Coffee. || Chocolate. ||Duelling. || Illusionism. ||Power. || Quietude. || Running. || Trickery.

Dislikes:
Arrogance. || Dragons. || Decoction. || Noise. || Sand.

Sorcerous Information Ethan attended the School of Arcanis, one of the most respectable schools of sorcery in the Citadel.

He was a member of the prefectorial body, known as the ‘The Arcanis Society’, and acted as a praepostor. Members were considered the elite of the elite, entitled to wear sorcerous robes of any colour rather than the traditional black and favoured by the professors.

For his Sorcerette, he studied Martial Magic, Illusionism, and . He received top honours in his examinations, with special commendations for his mastery of illusionary magic.

Sorcerous Speciality:
Martial Magic||Illusionism.

Extract from ‘Illusionism and Sorcery’ (Honourable Lemming Mesa, 1922)
“Illusionism is an arcane and labyrinthine form of sorcery. Illusionists distort the sensual perception of reality, misguiding, deceiving, misdirecting, deluding, confusing and fooling others; as such, it is never considered wise to reveal more than what is deemed appropriate by convention in their presence. Many sorcerers regret placing their trust in illusionists.”

“Illusions are constructed layer by layer. Master Ignis Fatuus (1789 - 1835) described several layers of of illusion is his seminal publication:

Deceptio Ocularis;
Deceptio Auditorio;
Deceptio Olefacio;
Hallucinatio Minora;
Deceptio Sententia;
Hallucinatio Media;
Deceptio Magicae;
Hallucinatio Majora.”

“Flaws can found in almost every illusion. Inherent imperfections enable sorcerers to regain control of their sensory perception - provided, they know where to look.”

Favourite Spell:
“Ego impostura”

This spell creates an illusionary doppelgänger of the sorcerer. Ethan relies heavily on this spell in martial combat, creating several apparitions to confuse and confound his opponents. Like all illusions, the spell is inherently flawed, and sorcerers aware of Ethan’s illusionary talent are more likely to see through the guise.

The spell can be combined with a very complicated and time-consuming potion called ‘Eidolon’ to enable the illusionist to assume the physical appearance of another individual for a period of exactly one hour.

Academy College:
Cardus House.

Extracurricular Academy Activities:
Alnus Duelling Club.

The Alnus Duelling Club is the oldest club at the Academy. Founded by the first members of the Academy, martial sorcerers practice their dangerous art under the cover of darkness. As a duellist, if you do not have at least one scar, you are considered to be a novice.

CORE.

A club for the elite-of-the-elite at the Academy. As a member of 'The Arcanis Society', Ethan was invite to CORE during his first week at Lyrithna.

Personal History Ethan Maynard was born the third, and final, child of Lysander and Serana Odenkirk. His family, although idolised in the Sorcerous Gazette as the pinnacle of kinship, was not the most loving, nor was his childhood. His father spent most of his time at the Circus, and spent the remainder privately educating Beatrice, Ethan's older sister; his sister despised him, as a threat to her inheritance, particularly when his aptitude for Lysander's illusionary magic began to blossom; and his brother, Daniel, was too unlike Ethan for any meaningful sibling-ship to develop. Only his mother spent time with him.

It came as no surprise to Ethan when the Odenkirk scandal broke. Although his father had managed to somehow keep most of his impropriety out of the media, his illusions, complex incantations he had weaved over several years to deceive the minds of those around him, started to shatter. The Circus realised how he had made his way to the Grandstand, his colleagues realised how he had swindled them out of their promotions, and his wife, his innocent Serana, realised that she was not the sole woman in his life.

The scandal has drifted slightly from memory. The mind of the Citadel is fickle. Ethan is occasionally reminded of his father's igominy, but he continues to live his life regardless. He never cared much for his father or his affairs. The only person he worries about is his mother.

GrieveWriter · May 8, 2019

Full Name: Maja Albhorn

Nickname: Aja, Albie

Age: 21

Birthday: April 1st

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Bisexual

Nationality: Swedish

Languages: English, German, Russian, Korean, Sign Language

Hair Color: Snow Blonde

Eye Color: Lavender

Physicality: Maja is absolutely too small for her age. Some may she's just excessively petite while others may assume its the result of her unhealthy study habits; but whatever the cause, Maja could easily be mistaken for a dwarf considering her small size. Yet she doesn't even have the musculature that dwarves are known for, being downright miniature in that aspect as well. Though she may seem to move and function as normally as one can, it doesn't change the fact that her body alone would instantly give anyone hints about just how fragile she was.

Distinguishing Features: Besides her rampant shortness, Maja's overall pale complexion makes her look her far more sickly than the average girl. Though it could be argues whether its because of her unhealthy habits or her family just having pale features in their bloodline, the bags under her eyes can almost assuredly be chalked up to her voracious study habits.

Parents / Guardians:
Nelson Albhorn- Father
Elaine Albhorn- Mother
Bartini Fettlesworth-The head butler who did most of Maja's care taking while she was a toddler.

Personal Relations:
(N/A)

Personality: If Maja had sliders to determine character traits then she'd somehow find a way to set self esteem in the negative zone. She's an absolute black hole of negativity mostly because she seems convinced that her skills in Alchemy are the only positive thing about her. As such she can be considered a push over in most aspects of her life, unwilling to contest almost anything and just allowing herself to get pulled along by the whims of others.

Strengths and Virtues:

Alchemical Prodigy- Her vivacious studying isn't for nothing, there are few students her age who have as much insight into the alchemical aspects of the world. Her ability to alter and reshape things to such an extent could actually be considered dangerous if she was more aggressive.

Brainiac- Perhaps due to her fine-tuned methods of vigorous studying, Maja is capable of burning through curriculum at a break neck pace provided she's given the proper material.

Photographic Memory- Maja literally can't forget anything. Everything down to specific details back when she was but a toddler stay prevalent in her mind. Nothing short of magical interference could possibly keep her from remembering something.

Organizer- Even though its one of the many things Maja will insist she's terrible at, she's exceptionally good at getting things into order. Whether it be a messy room, a messy planner, or even a messy lunch tray, she can organize it in a fraction of the time most could. Despite this, she still often resides in a messy heap of textbooks and notes, claiming that she's able to navigate properly despite the oppressive vibe this portrays.

Weaknesses and Vices:
-100 Charisma- Maja's bad self image is so all-encompassing it seems to swallow joy out of the air like a cosmic leech. Even when not being put down by others she'll often do it herself, her depth of the self-pitying is to a nearly ludicrous degree. She's not likely to argue points, stand up for herself or do much to put herself out there unless forced to by circumstance. This often allows her to get taken advantage of by others of more nefarious intent.

Not a fighter- Maja's as physically weak as her appearance would imply. Not fast or strong, and far more fragile than most. If she were to actually be forced to defend herself, she'd have to rely on her exceptional alchemy for protection. Even then, she's likely to succumb to the intimidation of a stronger willpower.

Overworker- Maja is used to working herself to the bone in more ways than one, often leading to her seeming tired and exhausted most of the time because of it.

Fear: Not being able to circumvent her plethora of downsides by becoming a master alchemist and instead fading away under the weathering passage of time, not even worthy of being considered a footnote in the depths of history.

Desire: To prove to herself that she's got some amount of self-worth through the extensive mastery of alchemy.

Secret: She claims to have insomnia, explaining her horrible sleep schedule. Truth is, she's just horrified by the thought of not working towards her goals as she feels like a lazy pig when she isn't active.

Likes:
Alchemy
Studying/Working
Soft textures
Parental Approval
Quiet, Empty environments

Dislikes:
Herself
Big groups
Asserting herself
Conflict

Sorcerous Information:
Having trained in Alchemy from a young age, Maja was perhaps more than ready to make the jump to school learning than most. She attended the Brenkswurst's School for Gifted Youngsters, where she was adored by her teachers and abhorred by her classmates due to her miserable attitude.

Sorcerous Specialty:
Alchemy

Favorite Spell:
Dome of Solitude- Maja has made great use of this defensive ability, using her alchemy to shape the ground into a solid shield around her.

Academy College:
Pallus

Extracurricular Academy Activities:
S.C.-Since coming to the Academy, Maja has become a near-integral member of the Study Coalition, which is basically a glorified assembly of study groups determined to raise their academic proficiency through teamwork. Initially joining as a means to further her knowledge in alchemy, Maja has been unable to leave the S.C over rampant guilt-tripping from certain members.

Helpers League- Basically a group of volunteers often asked to aid other groups and clubs when they need assistance or manpower, Maja was recommended to join early in her time at the Academy as a means to look at other clubs and see what she enjoyed. She would've left immediately after finding the number of appealing clubs lacking, but doesn't have the courage to admit her displeasure so just ended up being a semi-permanent member.

Personal History:
As the youngest in a bloodline of Magi such as the Albhorns, one could reasonably assume that Maja was set for a childhood of pampering. While she definitely had the option of it, no amount of coddling could replace the emptiness caused by the absence of her parents. Both prominent magicians devoted to honing their craft, they traveled and acquired knowledge using their dynamic cooperation to aid in their research. Maja cherished every one of the fleeting moments when her parents came home, growing more discontent the less they visited. It was as she grew old enough to read that Maja convinced herself that the reason her parents were never around was because they cared more about magic than her. Whether that was true or not mattered not, as soon the young girl began feverishly seeking to no more about the craft which took her parents from her, teaching herself in many places as her desire to know more started a long trend of self-neglect.

The one caring for her through most of this was the Albhorn family's head butler Mr. Fettlesworth. While not a distant man nor a cruel man, he was not one to weigh heavily on displays of intense emotion. He did his job methodically, and approached the young lady's growing obsession with the same practices. He was always able to coerce her to sustain herself during her increasingly hectic studying, able to keep her groomed and the like. As such, he considered her change in attitude a net plus as it did result in her becoming a top ranked student. This only amplified once Maja found her magical specialty, Alchemy.

Growing increasingly devoted to the idea of earning her parents attention by outclassing everyone and anyone in the pursuit of alchemy, Maja entered Brenkswurst's School for Gifted Youngsters with a passion in mind. And it worked, her unhealthy levels of studying got her immediate recognition with the faculty, along with a string of successful endeavors which set her apart from the crowd. Unfortunately for her, this brewed animosity among other students, but only a small amount at first. Unfortunately, that small amount was all it took. It began as a passing comment about how ridiculously stupid her studying habits were. It was the very first insult she'd received since beginning schooling, and the worst part was that she agreed with it. Only someone as far behind as her would need to work themselves so hard to keep up. Maybe if she was as good some of the kids who didn't need to study so hard, her parents would actually care to visit more.

So began a cycle throughout her time at Brenkswurst, Maja would work hard to excel brewing some animosity from her peers which would culminate in jeers that she would agree with and take to heart only to work herself harder... and repeat. The growing negative image she formed of herself coincided with her theory on why her parents never appeared. After all, why would famous magi want to waste their time on someone so weak-willed as her? Her constant agreement with anything thrown her way just made certain individuals try harder, since she just made it so easy for them. Throughout all of this, Maja continued developing her skills in alchemy at a near unrivaled rate, as it became the sole thing she could even consider good about herself. She still maintained near perfect results in every assignment she applied herself to, and some were even concerned by the rapid rate which she consumed knowledge. But after graduating Brenkswurst's, she didn't allow the lack of classes to make her lazy, see had to work hard. So she just made up her own curriculum in order to continue advancing. But that wouldn't exactly be necessary due to the message she received one day.

Attending Lyrithna seemed like a dream come true, as Maja couldn't think of a better place for her to truly reach the mastery she sought. Though she's truly learned far more than she could on her own, there's still the occasional trouble here and there. But she can't let that slow her down, someone like her still has so much work to do if she's to become a Master Alchemist worthy of true praise.

Quote: "We've each been given the most wonderful opportunity possible, marked from birth for great things. It's our responsibility to reach for that destiny with both hands."

Full Name: Iris Polley

Nickname: Iri to friends and closer family.

Age: 20

Birthday: July 3rd

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Bisexual

Nationality: Citadelian

Languages: English, Runic Symbols

Hair Colour: Naturally blonde, usually black/white as seen in the above image.

Eye Colour: Naturally green, usually grey as seen in the above image.

Physicality: Thin, lanky, sharp. Her movements are graceful and she holds an upright, proper stature.

Tattoos: Her family sigil is on her upper back between her shoulder blades, given by her father after acing her first year at the academy. Her father also gave her enchanted “Compuntori” symbols down her spine before attending her secondary education that erased undesirable physical features such as birth marks, moles, and scars. Other Compuntori symbols around her wrists that she gave herself allow her to change her hair and eye colour at will, to differentiate them from her father's.

Distinguishing Features: Her impressive height, she towers over most of her female peers at 6’1. Her aforementioned tattoos. Her ostentatious makeup, piercings and clothing. No other natural features stand out, due to her father removing them magically, but she used to have more than a few birthmarks and moles, most notably a large reddish-brown birthmark covering the lower left of her face.

Parents / Guardians: Her affluent father, Richard Polley, is from a long line of talented enchanters and is well known. Her mother, Lilly Polley (formerly Watson) is a first-generation sorceress he met when studying, now stay-at-home wife and mother to six.
Her parents are controlling and critical, but love her dearly and have spoiled her rotten. They expect regular progress updates from not only her, but her teachers.

Personal Relations: Iris is only close within her family to her mother who has always been supportive , though she has rarely seen her in the past eight years since leaving the family estate for education. She admires and respects her father as an enchanter and head of the family, although she, often unbeknown to herself, resents him on the personal/familial side of the relationship. She's hated by, and in turn hates, her two elder siblings who she overcame in the matter of their father's succession, Daisy and Richard Jr. Her two younger siblings mocked her often as a child, but have both became more affable in recent years, and like her mother, she only sees them on special occasions.

Personality: An earnest and confident academic, Iris strides through life with head held high and a quick smile. She’ll be the most supportive friend in the world with those who share her values and quick to dismiss those that don’t. She’s honest to a tee, sometimes to the point of blunt cruelty, but cannot handle being critiqued herself. She’s got a complex in regards to her appearance due to her irregular height and her father “correcting” her blemishes, considering image to be of the utmost importance, regularly checking her own reflection to the point of narcissism. She adores magic and magical society and worships the ground her teachers walk on, often to their annoyance.

Strengths and Virtues:

Devoted and dutiful. She believes magic is a wonderful gift, and has been given a strong start to life from her family. As such, she commits herself fully to her education, hobbies, and anything else she decides to do.
Academic and rune fluent. Iris comes from a family of talented enchanters. She’s been taught about magical runes and how to apply them from a very young age, as well as many other areas of magic-related academic interest such as Circus politics, literature, exotic creatures, and history.
Charismatic and graceful. Iris has been raised to succeed a powerful father, and she knows how to command respect and admiration from those around her with ease.

Weaknesses and Vices:

Condescending and judgemental. Iris commits herself fully to her studies, and expects the same from others. She will very quickly reach negative opinions of those who do not meet those expectations, as she thinks they’re squandering their time at the academy and disrespecting the gift of magic.
Vain and temperamental. As the scion of an affluent, well-regarded sorcerer's family, high expectations have been placed upon her. Rather than resent this, she’s fully embraced it. She has added a lot of flair and effort into her appearance, and a lot of time honing her skills. Having either of these things critiqued is not something she handles well, losing her usual luster and grace for a sullen rage.
Ignorant and reckless. Her high opinion of herself, as well as the aforementioned high expectations, have left her unable to recognise her own weakness or course-correct when making mistakes. She’s also unable to recognise the different situations and struggles of her less fortunate peers, making her callous at times.

Fear: Being forgotten by history and considered a disappointment by her family and tutors.

Desire: To make her mark on the world and be respected as an intelligent and beautiful sorceress.

Secret: Those outside her family don’t know about the magical alterations that removed her birthmarks and moles. Those inside her family don’t know she likes women, as she knows the potential of her having no blood-related heirs would panic her father and possibly entice her siblings to take her place as his successor.

Likes:

Magic and magical creatures
History and politics
Soft music
Attractive and/or dedicated people
Studying, Lyrithna Academy, her teachers
Her family

Dislikes:

Laziness
Being critiqued
Her natural appearance
Loud noises, busy places
Liars and schemers
Her family

Sorcerous Information: Iris attended Polsoris Secondary, a school partly funded by her family’s business. She primarily studied Compuntori, the act of placing magical runes for enchantment directly onto the human body as tattoos. These tattoos can bestow cosmetic and physiological changes, as well as allow sorcerers “quick access” spells outside of their specialty. These tattoos are activated/deactivated by touch and a vocal phrase. Simple runic tattoos don’t strain the user and can be left on (like Iris’ own), but more complex enchantments might need to be used only when necessary.

Her examination subjects were Runic Enchanting, Biology, and History.

Sorcerous Specialities: Enchanting

Favourite Spell: Comprehend - An enchantment bestowed upon viewing devices such as glasses that allow you to read any language. Iris regularly makes use of it for studying.

Academy College: Pallas House.

Extracurricular Academy Activities: Paintbox. She tends to add flair to her paintings by putting them in enchanted frames that animate them.

Care of Mythical Beasts. A club that learns about and looks after a variety of (harmless and docile) magical creatures, as well as travelling once a term to sanctuaries and zoos that allow them to study less friendly exotic creatures.

Personal History: Iris is the third child, second daughter, of Richard and Lilly Polley, socialites embedded firmly into the sorcerous upper-class. The family’s main home is an expansive estate in a sparsely-populated oceanside area, but Richard is often called to the Citadel capital to attend clients and so maintains a smaller, but no less lavish property there.

For the first dozen years of her life, Iris saw little of her father, and less of her eldest sibling and sister Daisy, who accompanied him to his work as his heir. Iri and her remaining siblings were attended by a veritable army of servants and tutors, but rather than be content with this privileged position Iris grew jealous of Daisy, yearned for respect and recognition from her father, and constantly found herself dreaming of the magical world outside her family estate. She was often shunned and underestimated by the tutors that attended her and her other siblings due to her appearance, which was considered unsightly due to multiple, large birthmarks. Rather than let this disadvantage her, Iris buried herself into her family’s library at a young age, determined to surpass her peers. She also became obsessed with burying her “unsightliness” with layers of flair, eventually setting on quite a gothic style, though at the time within the family, this simply led to ridicule.

Her father’s family line descended from an accomplished sorcerer who perfected and popularised (proud members of the family say invented) the Compuntori school of enchantment. Much to Iris’ fortune, it was discovered that Daisy had next to no aptitude in this field, in fact, her magical specialisation wasn’t even enchantment and was therefore unfit to succeed their father. The next sibling, the eldest son Richard Jr, had also been jealous of Daisy and had been in the Citadel capital for three years attending Polsoris Secondary, living with his father and sister. However, unlike Iris, he had responded by acting out, shirking what little duties were left to him, and had been doing terribly academically. And so Iris, maligned and looked over, had her chance to impress her father and begin pursuing her dreams. And so she did, thanks to her passionate studying and adept handling of enchantment. The one condition being the magical removal of her birthmarks and moles, applied only a few weeks after her twelfth birthday. The future head of the family has to look the part, after all.

Iris had been a model, if overeager and snobby, student ever since. She’s currently in her third year at Lyrithna

"Do what needs to be done, don't hold anything back."

Full Name: Jace Alexander Earl
Nickname: Jace, J.A.
Age: 22
Birthday: March 23rd
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Nationality: Citadelian
Languages: Scottish Gaelic, English

Hair Colour: Auburn
Eye Colour: Blue
Physicality: He's about 6'0" and has a muscular defined build
Tattoos / Markings: None
Distinguishing Features: His eyes are well noted for their duality- they can go from intense to soft at a moments notice

Parents / Guardians: His parents are Edward and Miranda Earl, both alumni of Lyrithna Academy were they met. They weren't a love match but an arranged marriage, mainly to strengthen the magical aptitude of the bloodline.

Personal Relations:

Personality:

Jace is young and that youth often emboldens him to believe himself capable of anything which often gets him into trouble. However trouble seems pretty insignificant to him. Despite this natural bravado, Jace is not so dull that he acts completely with caution. He doesn't always think his decisions through but he at least takes the time to discern whether the risk is worth the reward.

His ambitions know no bounds. He is a very determined individual and knows his desires well. He understands that the best things in life come to those who work for them and has no qualms about putting forth the effort necessary. His drive and passion are unparalleled.

Jace places great importance upon status and position, always seeking to raise himself above others.This fixation directly relates to his ability to devote himself solely to a particular goal or cause without much care for anything else. He's incapable of focusing on minute details, he's also forgetful and neglectful. He may forgo caring for himself and often times his health suffers because of it.

When it comes to social interactions Jace's personality may vary. He is immediately friendly, earnest and open upon first meeting people but overtime his more asshole-ish tendencies reveal themselves. He's brash and outspoken, never afraid to speak his mind on a subject or give advice. He's very prideful and does not take direction well from others, especially people he thinks he's better than. Jace can be a bit of a trouble maker as he doesn't always play nice in group situations. Despite that he's charming enough to normally soothe any hard feelings. Or at least tries to be.
He is not very sensitive to the feelings of others and often fails to pick up on social ques such as a persons comfort level. However he never fails to notice people when they are afraid, frail and weak - almost like a predator he's able to hone in on these individuals. Usually he gravitates to these sort of people as he likes to be needed and wanted and they are most likely to need a 'savior' figure in their lives. Jace feeds off of praise and compliments and can be a bit bratty when he doesn't get them. He doesn't realize he seeks out attention, but subconsciously lives for the spotlight.

Jace's moral leanings are not entirely clear - it's obvious that's he's willing to do the right thing in most situations. So long as it benefits him.

Strengths and Virtues:
Reliable, can be trusted to come through when you really need him
Strong leadership and communication skills
Is not afraid to make the hard choices
Determined to see things through to the end

Weaknesses and Vices:
His obsessiveness puts a heavy strain on himself and those close to him
Allows his instincts and impulses to drive him to conclusions if he's not careful
Can be difficult to build trust with him
Despite his reliability he can be inconsistent on a lot of things

Fear:
Not measuring up to the expectations people have of him

Desire:
A successful and brilliant career, to be well known and regarded

Secret:
He's intensely lonely despite being surrounded by so many people. Perhaps he seeks so much attention so as not to be alone.

Attention
Buzzing, vibrant environments

Playing piano
Pushing his magic further

Dislikes:
Being challenged
Making mistakes
Felines
People who are too secretive

Sorcerous Information:
The study and practice of conjuration has been a big thing in the Earl family for generations. Often considered one of the most difficult disciplines to learn and even harder to master, the Earl's have taken great pride in their affinity for it. Jace is no different in this aspect and has attended a special acceleration program since the age of 10 to hone and sharpen his conjuration skills.

Sorcerous Specialities:
Conjuration

Favourite Spell:
Incendio - Conjures a great jet of flame, not the most difficult of spells but certainly his favorite for the flare

Academy College:
Malum

Extracurricular Academy Activities:
CORE- A club created by the elite for the elite. It's invitation only and entirely performance based though being a legacy does carry some weight when one is considered for admission to the club. The members have created a vast network that extends even beyond the Academy with many alumni being members who often donate to keep club activities up and running. While the day to day operations are kept hush-hush, the club is very well known throughout the student body and revered for it's prestige.

He's a member of other general groups for activities such as music, studying and sports.

Personal History:
Jace is the only living child of Edward and Miranda Earl, his other would be siblings still born or never carried to full term. Because of this he was regarded as something of a miracle by his parents. Though Edward never spoke the words into existence, it was clearly implied that he blamed Miranda for the deaths of their other children. As such the relationship between his parents was strained at best though they did make an effort to be civil for their only child. It was no secret that his parents didn't love each other and that bothers Jace even till this day. He knows that he is a product of a carefully planned arranged marriage and it's left him feeling rather hollow if he's completely honest. His parents have placed a lot of pressure on him to excel and be the best as the Earl legacy rests completely on his shoulders.

Personal Relations:
WIP

Personality:
A little introverted expecting to be hated and reviled due to his family history. However if approched can be quite gregarious if a little soft-spoken, with a sweet manner and quick with a joke or wit for the amusement of all. He is a believer in his College moto and legacy of wanting to help and heal others once claimed by his family. He would help anyone regardless of class and status even at the cost of his own needs.

However his condition can leave him irritable and impatient at times. Bitting the heads of others over the slightest slights and can even fall in uncontrollable anger.

Strengths and Virtues:

Natural healer: His family legacy is that of healers, whether through Amélioration or any other healing discipline having made contributions to developing the former. Chris whole heartedly embraces this being a natural in amelioration and has a genuine want to help people.
Think skined/Dedicated - Though may not look it but he had tough childhood growing up both due to an inherited illness and a tarnished family name. Yes he pushes through undeterred to his goal and things don't bother him for long.
Approachable and a good listener : though not particularly charasmatic, he has a kind relaxed easy going manner to all. He makes it easy for people to be comfortable with him and open up with issue he is happy to help with.

Weaknesses and Vices:

Stubborn- His dedication and think skinned can be a curse to as he rarely asked for help for anything and puts others before himself often to his own detriment.
Irritable: despite dealing with his illness for so long even he has off days. He can be quite unpleasant at such times, quick to anger and abnoxous.
Mistrusful: He seemed to always expect the worse in people when telling them who he is assuming they will revile him for it. Therefore can be quite closed of and distant to people on a personal level though maybe happy to help them.
One trick pony: Aside from healing and, concuction to some extent, he does not do well in his other subjects. This mostly due lack of interest rather than ability.

Fear:
To not leave up to expectations and become like his grandfather.

Restore the family name to its old prominence.

Laziness

Sorcerous Information:
As stated earlier, he comes from a family once renowned by their healing ability particularly amelioration. The Lambiris family made many contributions to the field with Aristotle Lambiris having written the text book on the subject centuries ago still used by the academy. It is said like it or not a full blooded Lambiris inevitably ends up into healing one way or another. Chris embodies this and is dedicated to bringing this reputation back to his family.

Sorcerous Specialities:
Amélioration and Concuction

Favourite Spell:
Therapeve: a go to spell for healer able to encourage the natural healing abilities of the body healing most minor cuts and scrabes.

Academy College: Salix

Extracurricular Academy Activities:

Volunteer in the academy
Member at the academies cooking club

Personal History:

To tell Chris' history is to talk about the story of his grandfather: the permanently imprisoned Christos the cause of what is known to the Circus as "the Great Malady." The magical disease that spread across the mortal world killing and infecting thousands and almost exposing the magical world. No one knows how Christos caused the malady, some even did not believe he actually did. Christos was no villain like others of the Lambiris family he was a maverick idealist, leaving the magical world to the mortal one to use his innate Amelioration skill to help those in need under the guise of peddler of homeopathic and alternative medicine. Nor did he not suffer due to this disease losing his wife to it, faced lifetime imprisonment and shattering the Lambaris family reputation for world class Healers.

After the malady was contained, the remaining Lambiri family were forbidden to enter the mortal realm and the family was ostracised. It was said because of it Chris' father was forced to leave the academy. What was worse the malady still lingered. Though the malady has since been contained, there was no real cure and able to be passed on from one generation to the next. This means that people both mortal and magical suffering its effects to this day decades latter. This was the world Chris was born to into. He was a sickly child growing up found to have somehow inherited the malady himself, suffering frequent migraines and seizures. Yet he also had inherited his family skill for healing, it was considered dubious gift as no one would let Lambaris heal them or would let him be trained in healing at the academy in the first place.

Therefore it was a surprise to the Lambaris family when Chris was sent the letter inviting him to join. Everyone was overjoyed, no more so than Chris who wanted and felt obliged to take this chance to repair the family name.

Full Name:
Chen "Edward" Kuo
(Note: the surname precedes the given name in Chinese, so in English his name would actually be "Kuo Chen". However, he is better known as Edward Chen.)

Nickname:
Eddy, Ed

Age:
19

Birthday:
July 8th

Gender:
Male

Sexuality:
Bi-curious

Nationality:
Citadelian

Languages:
Chinese, English and some Japanese

Hair Colour:
Black

Eye Colour:
Dark brown

Physicality:
He is slim and his build generally suggests someone who is nonthreatening. He is a little under average height, standing at 5'8". His features are notably more boyish than they are masculine.

Tattoos / Markings:
He doesn't have any, but is considering getting a tattoo around either his wrists or collarbones.

Distinguishing Features:
Though not physical features, he is often easily distinguishable by his large, round glasses and his fashion style, favouring clothes like turtlenecks and baggy jumpers.

Parents / Guardians:
Amari Yuriko (Mother) -- Amari Yuriko is a mystery to everyone who meets her. Despite being in her early fifties, she still retains much of her youthful beauty and soft features. She is good at disappearing and reappearing, but whether this is due to magic or just a natural ability to turn invisible is yet to be seen. She is an artist and was a member of the Paintbox in her youth. Although Amari Yuriko's favourite pastime is being obscure, she shares some of her husband's strict personality and takes on a no-nonsense attitude with those younger than her, strongly believing those younger must respect their elders. She has a tendency to come and go and doesn't like being held down; she spends a lot of time away from home, though Edward has no idea where, and charming other men.

Chen Ming (Father) -- A respectable and well-accomplished master of martial magic, Edward's father is a very strict man known for his severe personality. He went to the Academy of Lyrithna as a proud student of the Alnus House. He graduated with top marks and was soon elected as a Stand in the Circus. His immense dedication to his work, coupled with his natural talent, incites the admiration of many. It wouldn't be wrong to be intimidated by him since his stern features are paralleled by his serious personality. He and his wife, Yuriko, are not particularly close as they were wedded through an arranged marriage. While he is a master of martial magic, there is one skill he practices far more severely than his magical ability, and that skill is called tough love. He certainly isn't one to show affection and there is no one who knows this better than Edward, who tends to be the one on the receiving end of his father's often strict and unsympathetic way of care.

Personal Relations:
Sylvia Green -- Miss Sylvia, as Edward calls her, is a maid who only comes in 3 times a week. She is fairly old and small in stature; while she doesn't say much as she doesn't feel it's her place, she feels sympathy for Edward when she sees his parents are rarely home. She does small things for him every now and then, but since it isn't her job, she tends to stay out of his business. She has worked for his family a long time and has seen him grow up; in the past, Edward made more of an effort to talk to her, but seeing as she would only ever respond as much as necessary, he eventually gave up on trying to befriend her. They're still closer than acquaintances and Edward addresses her familiarly. He'd never tell her, but he thinks of her as something like family.

Personality:
Edward is a bit of a free spirit. You wouldn't expect it, given his quiet nature and nerdy way of dress, but he hates being holed up in his room and has always been apt at venturing off without a word of notice. He likes to move around, likes to see the outside -- don't get him wrong, though. While he isn't a homebody, his passion for going outside is because of his love for adventure, not because of people. Rather, Edward has never been talented in making friends, and that's just fine by him.

He likes seeking out new things and before he even realises it himself, he'll often be found on his way outside, wandering around with no destination. He is naturally quiet, and while one might consider him shy, he usually just has too much on his mind. While he may come off as rude, given his habit of ignoring people when they're speaking to him, he doesn't do it out of any spite or dislike of people. He is just an avid daydreamer and, some might say, an airhead.

What one might not expect, however, is how passionate he can get over the things he truly likes. If anyone wants to hold a conversation with Edward, there is no better way than to bring up something he's interested in, even if the result is only one-sided blabbering from Edward's part. Despite his quiet nature and tendency to steer away from people, the way his eyes light up when people ask him about stuff he likes is impossible to miss.

Originally, he was very concerned with his parents, but he has since given up on trying to impress them.

Strengths and Virtues:
Curiosity -- His earnest desire to discover new things makes him a willing learner and great adventurer. His inquisitive nature allows him look at things with an open mind.

Kindness -- Behind his awkwardness and avoidance of social interactions, he has a very kind and empathetic heart. He might not always know how to express it - perhaps a side effect of his upbringing - but he is someone who enjoys taking care of others. This is one of the reasons he was so happy to be so proficient in healing magic and why he continues to do his best to become even greater at it today.

Bravery -- While you might not expect it from him, Edward can be surprisingly courageous, in hopes to uncover things he never knew of before. His habit of venturing outside his home has ended him up in a lot of odd, sometimes dangerous places one usually wouldn't find. Though, sometimes it appears that rather than being brave, he just lacks the capacity to feel fear.

Creativity -- He has always enjoyed creative activities; he often sketches landscapes and he has a large collection of photos he's taken while outside. He enjoys playing around with potions, though not as much as ameliorative magic.

Fast learner -- He picks up things incredibly quickly.

Weaknesses and Vices:
Inattentive (air-headed) -- He tends to get so stuck in his mind that he can lose sight of his surroundings which often leads to him ending up completely lost, or accidentally ignoring people when they're speaking to him.

Dishonest / Closed off -- He doesn't let people know when he's down and he keeps his fears hidden. He keeps lots of his feelings locked up and, while he isn't a liar most of the time, he has no reservations about lying about his own well-being. This can stop people from being able to get close to him even if they want to. This is largely due to his parents who believe that being open about your emotions or telling people your fears is a weakness. He can't, however, stop himself form being expressive when interrogated about his interests (he's excitable).

Impulsive / Thoughtless -- He usually does what he wants, as soon as he wants to do it. This is because he gets excitable very easily, but it can also leave just as quickly. If he doesn't do something immediately, he worries he won't have the motivation later, and he much prefers living in the moment. Unfortunately, this can lead to some very badly thought out plans, or no plans at all.

Sensitive / Easily hurt -- Though sensitivity isn't inherently a weakness, Edward, though taught not to show it, responds heavily to criticism. Even though he's used to getting it, he does not like the feeling of disappointing people or not living up to expectations. This is one of the reasons he does, sometimes, try to distance himself from people, as from his experience relationships can only hurt.

Self-esteem -- He lacks confidence and due to never receiving praise, does not believe himself to be good at anything. He thinks of himself as a failure and because of that he just does what he wants.

Fear:
He is scared of staying still. It might sound silly, but he is constantly afraid of the future moving on without him, and him being stuck in place, unable to move forward like everyone else.
And he'll never say it aloud, but even more so than the fear of staying still, his greatest fear is the silence of his own home.

Desire:
He hopes he can use his magic to help people. He is glad to be naturally gifted at ameliorative magic since it is magic that can be used to heavily influence people in incredibly positive ways; through ameliorative magic, you can take away peoples pain, heal minor and major injury and illness, and help people in need. Edward's lack of self-worth might have some influence on this desire of his: He thinks too lowly of himself, so he feels the need to compensate by at least being able to help others.

However, that is only one aspect. Even without a low self-esteem, Edward has always been inexplicably drawn to ameliorative magic and still is. He wants to improve and see what he's capable of and to better harness the ability to help other people and things. He is passionate about some day becoming a doctor for sorcerers.

Secret:
(1) He's never told anyone he isn't sure of his sexuality and isn't sure he ever will. Who is there to tell, anyway? His father would surely beat him.

(2) One might think the reason he is out of his house so often is because he can't stand being still, and while that is certainly true, he has always been looking for excuses to escape the large, empty halls of his home. He doesn't like being alone and the silence has only ever served to remind him that he is.

Likes:
-Linguistics, especially the study of dead languages
-Amelioration
-Photography
-Being outside
-Sketching
-Decoction
-Reading
-Daydreaming
-Magical creatures

Dislikes:
-Complete silence; his home
-His mother (she makes him uneasy, but he still wants to impress her and wishes she were home more often, so whether he truly dislikes her or not is difficult to pinpoint)
-Staying still
-People who are too touchy (he isn't used to it)
-Being pulled along / pushy people
-Not meeting expectations
-Coffee (he prefers hot chocolate)

Sorcerous Information:
His father made sure he was enrolled in one of the most respectable schools in the Citadel, the School of Arcanis, believing his son had great potential. And while it's true, Edward is a good student and a talented sorcerer, his father's expectations have always been impossible to meet. In the beginning he studied hard in subjects he wasn't interested in to hopefully live up to what his father wished from him, but when his father didn't notice his efforts, he slowly lost motivation, until finally he began pursuing his own passions.

His 3 examination subjects were: Amelioration, biology, and magical history.

Sorcerous Specialities:
Amelioration | Healing

Favourite Spell:
"Redintegro incantamentum"

A very simple spell for fixing simple things. While working with inanimate objects isn't his specialty, his ability to get himself into trouble has given him many opportunities to master it. The spell is very easy to cast and is used to fix small holes and rips in material like denim, cotton, leather, silk, fur, rubber, and more. It is no good for complex objects or repairs, e.g. a table that has fallen apart, or a stove that has stopped working.

It became Edward's favourite over the years because of his habit of ripping his clothes and wearing out his shoes in only a day of getting them. He likes it for its simplicity and usefulness, and most of all, because it stops Miss Sylvia from complaining about any gaping holes in his shirts, like she always does when she sees him with them.

Academy College:
Salix House

Extracurricular Academy Activities:
Language Research Club -- Since joining the academy, Edward has become a member of the small but thriving Language Research Club, where they focus on researching, learning and sometimes decoding languages that have since stopped being in use. Through the ages, sorcerers have always been incredibly secretive and have gone to great lengths to keep their magical prowess hidden from mortals. This secrecy also meant the birth of many codes created and used exclusively by sorcerers, some complex enough to be considered their own language, rather than extensions of an already existing language. Over the years, these codes and even constructed languages thrived, to the point where some child sorcerers even learnt them as a first language. However, the need for such languages died out over time with the creation of the Circus and eventually the Mirror, causing many of them to become dead and forgotten languages. Despite the fact that they now exist as dead languages, many old texts can still be found written in them, and there are many which have been so forgotten in time that they can't be translated. The Language Research Club is keen on discovering and researching these dead languages and texts so they are not completely lost. Their activities, though very sorcerer focused, transcend languages only used by sorcerers and include the study of languages like Latin, the discovery of extinct languages, and those once used by magical creatures capable of speech.

Dragon Racing -- He also participates in dragon racing, despite not being particularly athletic. Dragons happen to be his favourite animal and he enjoys the thrill of riding them. He certainly isn't the best at it, but he's been doing it for a long time, so he is a decent rider. His father, however, was much better back when he participated in the sport during his youth.

Personal History:
Edward grew up in the Citadel, like both of his parents. His father is well-respected and both a natural talent and hard worker, whereas his mother is very secretive and always seems to be somewhere else. He grew up neglected, aside from the nanny's his father would hire to take care of them, until even they stopped taking care of him once he got older.

He has always been naturally gifted and a fast learner. He has been studying magic from a young age and quickly found his passion in ameliorative magic. Unfortunately, however, this went unappreciated by both his parents, who did not care at all even when he showed them by casting a difficult spell and healing an injured bird. This was incredibly discouraging and beat down on his self-worth even more. He used to work hard, studying every single day, in order to be at the top of his class and to be noticed by his parents. This, however, never happened.

Eventually, he gave up, seeing himself as a failure, and began living life the way he wanted to.

Jezzabelle didn’t know her father Ezekiel Tremaine that well and her mother doesn’t really want to talk about him, he is dead and that’s all Jezzabelle knows

Personal Relations:

Personality:
Jezzi has always been an affable person, always trying to meet new people and make friends simply because she wanted to oppose her mother who believed that brains and beauty was better than friends and although she has her mothers gift for anything to do with potions, she refuses to mainly follow it since she has a strained relationship with her, instead she has a massive love for Alchemy. She is always looking to have a good time with people either by hanging out with people or playing jokes on snobs and loves to try and push people further than they thought they could

She has a massive amount of positive energy, always looking for the fun or bright side of something, especially when it includes herself getting blown up. While her ADHD gets her too often lose focus on stuff she isn’t interested in, she does want to try harder to get more focused and she does this by making everything a competition, as that’s one of the things she can keep focused on. She is an “Act first, Plan on the fly” type of person and will always goes into an adventure or a fight if a friend is in danger and to go along with this she isn’t a judgemental person although she does have trouble when it comes to snobbish people

Despite all of this weirdness and the ADHD she has quite the brilliant mind, although it mainly comes out in plans, alchemy and a bit of decoction and she falls flat when it comes to healing magic and divination. The reason she hides her smarts is because she doesn’t want others to have high expectations of herself because she likes having fun and messing around with friends and absolutely hates studying

Strengths and Virtues:
Try, Try again - Even if she fucks something up, She’s always willing to try again and will constantly do so until she gets it right

Obfuscates Stupidity - Despite being intelligent, she keeps it hidden underneath blankets of stupidity, clumsiness and laid back-ness

Charisma Central, BABY! - Since Jezzi doesn’t really give a crap about how others see her, she is very affable, loves to make new friends and tries to push other people to better themselves academically or personally.

Academic and Alchemic fluent - Jezzabelle taught herself about alchemy and despite quite a few accidents she is a natural at Alchemy and is quite adept in a majority of studies. She is constantly in the top ten of her classes.

Weaknesses and Vices:
Huh? What did you say? - Jezzi rarely if ever listens to other peoples advice, as such her spells or potions often go haywire and either her on her butt or eating dirt.

ADHD - When it comes to nearly everything besides Alchemy she is easily distracted

Oops, I think I pressed a button - Jezzable is very careless with her words and will sometimes accidentally say things that insult people and she doesn’t even realise that she has insulted someone.

Is it bad my face is Numb? - Jezzable is quite the reckless person, although her recklessness comes out in the form of adding ingredients to her brews and it usually ends with her face black with smoke and in need of some Amelioration magic.

How does a Crystal ball see the future? - Possibly because she lives in the moment, Jezzable has an extremely hard time doing any sort divination magic.

Fear:
Jezzable is deathly afraid of being alone and boring

Desire:
To have fun while making new friends and making her own weird mark on the world

Secret:
When Jezzi was young her mother, Jezzable, had paid an Enchanter to have a set of tattoos put on her so that her hair would always be long and full as well her skin wouldn’t have any natural blemishes such as acne.

Likes:
Sweets
Decoction
Alchemy
Drawing
Playing Practical Jokes
Tea
Hot Chocolate
Having Fun
Blowing stuff Up (Including herself)

Dislikes:
Coffee
People who are serious 100% of the time
People calling her stupid just because she isn’t always seen studying
Studying
Studying Divination
Lemons
Insulting people even by accident
CORE
Snobs
Her Mother

Sorcerous Information:
Jezzabelle went to Macadamia Secondary which was a very small school and didn’t produce many successful students that went onto college. Her three examination subjects including “Decoction Decoration” which was brewing potions that gave things different colours or patterns, an accident during the final exam is what caused her hair to shift between bubblegum pink and pastel purple, her second subject was “Transformation Minora” in which her spell backfired and transformed the colours of eyes to a permanent black and her final subject was “Alchemy Majora +” which she passed with flying colours.

Sorcerous Specialities:
Jezzabelle specialises in Alchemy

Favourite Spell:
Her favourite spell is levitation although it’s mostly used just to bring her ingredients for her alchemy stuff, so she can keep an eye on her brew

Academy College:
Cardus House

Extracurricular Academy Activities:
The Paintbox. Her paintings are easily differentiated because she uses potions to make the colours constantly switch

Personal History:

Jezzable was an only child to a rich Decoction Sorcerer and was doted on, getting everything she wanted and was given a lot of books to study on both Decoction and Alchemy. Despite this as she got older Jezzi started to dislike this sort of living, that being constant studying and getting everything she wanted, so she started to ask a lot less of her mother which in turn started to fray their relationship, as it was mainly based around Jezzabelle wanted something and her mother gave it to her. Since she was naturally gifted in Alchemy and had started to shed her mother’s overprotectiveness, she started pursuing it over Decoction for the first of many screw yous aimed towards her mother.

As she started performing more and more acts of rebellion which included but not limited to: Going out all night without so much of a peep, Moving away from cute or regal clothes and into more casual clothes, Cutting her hair, although the enchantment on her made that impossible and other things. The straws that broke the camel’s back was when she had some intentional accidents in her final exams in Secondary, one that made her eyes completely although her vision isn’t impaired or enhanced in any way and the other being when in her decoction test, her potion exploded and made her hair forever shift between pink and purple. As soon as she had gotten home she and mother had a screaming match at one another and Jezzibelle packed as much stuff as possible and left without so much as a goodbye.

Lucia
(LOO-sha)
[Spanish]
graceful light

Specialty | Decoction
House | Vitis
Year | 5

personality & biography;
Personality | Lucia Sheikh is a bit of a whirlwind, a girl full of semi-comprehensible oxymorons. Her one-and-only love is not a person, nor an animal, but the spiraling potions layout that creeps over her already-tiny dorm room like vines. Her ambition for success is unparalleled, but she often struggles with completing mandatory assignments, as she would much rather experiment with a new ingredient set, or with a different type of holding container, especially when she can sell different potions to other students on campus. While Lucia herself would never take an energy potion to finish studying or to take a test, she certainly knows students that need that incentive, and when she can make them the concoction for half the price, why not help out? Other students view her a friendly, somewhat sarcastic individual, and Lucia reviles in that characterization. When not doing projects on her own, she loves hanging out with people, especially those with a good sense of humor.
Strengths / Virtues |decoction, enchantment, studying, honesty, detail oriented
Weaknesses / Vices |conjuration, introductions, cooking, impulsive, stubborn
Fears |Lucia's deepest fear is of failure. She doesn't want to disappoint her parents, and she's terrified of her future being something obsolete.
Desire |Lucia's dream since her childhood was to become a famous potioneer, and she's well on her way to that desire.
Secret | Even though her family has been magical for decades, Lucia is the first of her family to attend the Academy.
Likes | Elidi, cream horns, potions, the color pink, pop music, fashion, CAP
Dislikes | heights, large crowds, strawberries, distractions

Sorcerous Information | Lucia attended the Iprancye School of Magic for her secondary education, a small school near her home. They taught her well, and Lucia excelled in both her Decoction and Enchantment labs, although she barely passed her Conjugation exam. While in attendance, Lucia also took part in classes of herbology, study of magical creatures, study of magical history, and charms.
Sorcerous Speciality | Decoction
Favourite Spell | Tantaras Potion - created from dragon claws, goosegrass, rose thorns, and syrup of altarin, this milky, light-blue potion reverses the affects of a transformation spell, allowing the ingester to return to their original form. It takes 6 hours to make, and it is highly unstable in the beginning stages of brewing.
Academy College | Vitis House
Extracurricular Academy Activities | Lucia isn't involved in many clubs, but the one that takes up most of her time is CAP. The Coalition of Aspiring Potioneers was formed near the creation of Vitis House, with it serving as a study group/extra class for the students involved. While the group meets twice a week, the once-a-month visit of a potioneer is the key attraction of this club. Typically, this potioneer is a well-known figure in Citadel, and these visits act as a learning experience.
Familiar | Lucia's familiar, a venomous autumn adder named Elidi, is helpful in being a general companion, as for providing some key potion ingredients (skin, venom, scales).

Kiroshiven · May 11, 2019

mage:

Quote:
"I may abstain from violence, but don't take a protector lightly."

Full Name:
Ezekial Jeremiah Faust

Nickname:
Zeke, Ez, or Z

Age:
18

Birthday:
December 4

Gender:
Male

Sexuality:
Heterosexual

Nationality:
Citadelian/German

Languages:
English and German

Hair Colour:
Blonde/Dirty Blonde

Eye Colour:
Green

Physicality:
Zeke is a rather plain male from his own point of view. Standing in at 6'0 and only weighing 175 pounds, he isn't exactly the largest of men around. The lack of fat on his person however, distinguishes his healthier way of life.

Tattoos / Markings:
A large scar from a burn he endured during an early part of his teen years, covers his shoulders and a portion of his back. He has refused to have it treated magically as it is a reminder to himself that he needs to become stronger if he wants to protect anyone.

Distinguishing Features:
The aforementioned burn is the only distinguishing feature that Ez has.

Parents / Guardians:
Maria Jessabelle Faust is both Zeke's mother and his tutor in the ways of Amelioration magic. She is a warm hearted woman that graduated from the academy and married a mortal sorcerer that attended the same time she did, Isaac Xavier Faust. Isaac graduated the academy two years after his beloved Maria and was just an average student with a specialty for martial magic. He passed away recently and left Ezekial with just his mother and sister.

Name:
Veronica Faust

Age:
22

Physicality:
Veronica is a 5'8 woman weighing in at 128 pounds. But don't let her petite figure fool you, there's a lot of fight in this woman. Due to her skills in transformation magic, she often changes her appearance to fit what she wants.

Personality:
Veronica is a very direct person. She doesn't like people that hide their motives behind fancy words which is why she loves the dueling club. She is a bit playful and vindictive often pushing the limits of people's patience around her. However, once she learns the limits she doesn't cross them. However, her desire to torment her brother is quite the sight to behold as she will often go out of her way to tease him.

Sorcerous Specialties:
Marital Magic and Transformation

Favorite Spell:
Forma ______ it is a spell that transforms the caster into a half human half beast, greatly increasing their physical abilities beyond that of a human. It is a spell she often uses when sparring with her brother against his will. The spell has many different uses and is very versatile, though a small mistake could make the change last longer than intended.

Personal Relations:

Personality:
Ezekial is a fairly easy-going fellow and very approachable. He is a nature lover and can often be found with strays or wild animals in wilderness areas, quietly enjoying himself. He stands by his convictions and never falters from what he believes is the right thing. A realist with some optimistic tendencies, Zeke doesn't really get buried within his doubts too much. Zeke is fairly susceptible to emotional outburst and acting on emotion rather than thought though. The scar on his back is proof enough of this. Zeke's most outstanding quality is his supportive nature. It wouldn't be uncommon for Zeke to give the last bits of money he had in his wallet to someone that just happened to forget theirs. Even if it was just for the person to get a snack to pass the time. Zeke's generosity and willingness to put his heart into helping others has garnered him quiet a few life-long friends and allies. Though it has also made his sister think less of him.

Strengths and Virtues:
Approachable/friendly- Ezekial's laid back and easy going nature make him easy to approach and talk to. He will gladly listen to anyone and become friends with people over the course of a short conversation. His outgoing personality makes him a strong socialite with a decent ability for making connections.

Enduring- Zeke's stamina is a bit higher than many of the people his age. Considering that he only casts defensive magic, this is necessary for him to be able to keep up with others in the martial magic category.

Friend of Nature- Ezekial has a seemingly unnatural ability to get along with almost any animal, mythical or otherwise. Whether they sense his pure desire to look after them or they like the random snacks that he'll carry around remains to be seen.

Honest and sincere- Ezekial is upfront with his feeling and fairly expressive. This makes him rather relatable and has people trusting him even after a first meeting.

A Helping Hand- Zeke is the first to lend a hand whether he can be of any significant help or not.

Weaknesses and Vices:
Lacking Offense- Ezekial has never used offensive magic in his life and although he knows about them due to his sister and his studies in secondary school, he's just not proficient with them.

Indifferent to Opinions- Zeke has spent years dealing with the insults and taunts of others, including his sister to the point that he doesn't care what people think about him. This indifference has made more than one person think that he's belittling them or insulting them when it's just simply he doesn't care.

Selfless to a Fault- Zeke is the first to offer his last dollar to someone who just wants a candy bar and will often sacrifice his own needs for the sake of others. This has put himself in danger more than once, which has led to the scar on his back.

Divination- Ezekial fails miserably when it comes to divination. He believes his fear of seeing a future in which someone he loves dies, blocks this type of magic from him.

Fear:
Ezekial's greatest fear is to fail to protect the people he cares about. He knows that he's a human and that he can only do so much, but this still doesn't stop his fear.

Desire:
Ezekial wishes to master the arts of martial magic and amelioration as to perfect "The Cradle of Life". He wants to make it a spell taught to mages heading out into heavy conflict areas to protect the innocent. His second greatest desire is to find a romance like his parents, something eternal despite the odds. He'll never admit it though.

Secret:
Ezekial usually carries around a cheesy romance novel in one of his pockets. He is also actually incapable of using offensive magic, not just choosing not to.

Likes:
Animals of all varieties
Reading
Sculpting
Helping Others
Observing others
Magic in general
Coffee
Bagels

Dislikes:
Violence
People who belittle others
Arrogance
Gum Popping
Animal Abuse/Neglect
His Sister

Sorcerous Information:
Ezekial attended the Monschau School for the Magically Gifted. Ezekial passed at the top of his class in Amelioration, with a bit more focus on group healing. He also showed SOME potential in transformation, but when compared to his sister who had attended a few years earlier was rather plain. He barely managed to pass his combat magic final as he never once attacked his opponent and merely outlasted the poor fellow, winning on a technicality rather than an actual KO.

Sorcerous Specialities:
Martial and Amelioration

Favourite Spell:
The Cradle of Life- Xeke's spell that combines his two foci in magic. He takes the very ground around him, forming a dome that protects all within, but also creates a small zone of magical healing. This spell can only last a minutes and hasn't been able to heal much more that minor wounds, a sprain at best, so far. Currently the dome's furthest reaches is a 15feet diameter which is about a 530 square foot dome of protection and healing. The effective healing, size of the dome, and duration can be enhance with more magic being added to the spell by other mages.

Academy College:
Alnus House

Extracurricular Academy Activities:
Ezekial has done a bit of research into the college and looks forward to partaking in the Care of Mythical Beasts Society, despite being a first year.

Familiar:
Ezekial has a familiar named Nox. She is a red fox that happens to act as a second set of eyes and ears for Zeke while he's in combat. Other than that, she is a solid companion and helps Zeke when he feels at war with himself.

Personal History:
Ezekial Faust was the first and only son of Isaac and Maria Faust, though he was their second child. As the sibling to a "child prodigy" Ezekial had a lot to live up to, and it turned out he wouldn't. He seemed to just be an average sorcerer while growing up. He could use simple magic, but he failed to just dive into any special magics like his sister. Although he did show a modicum of talent for amelioration arts, like his mother. He would always be asking questions and trying to learn whenever his mother was present, despite the harsh treatment and bullying he would get from his sister.

It wasn't until his early teens that Ezekial actually showed aptitude for his two foci in magic. Troubled by his sister and being compared to her all the time, Zeke had begun to act out and ran with some sorcerers that weren't exactly the friendliest of bunch. To put it simply, they had formed a small gang and liked to pick fights with other gangs of mages. Despite his personality, Zeke had grown close to a woman in the gang. Her name was Violet Perry. She was skilled at conjuration and often helped Zeke keep people safe.

One day, the rival gang brought in someone with a knack for making things explode and caused an entire building to catch flame. While most of the people got out Zeke and Violet quickly became trapped inside the building. The old building wasn't ready for the amount of damage that it had sustained and it began to collapse. Zeke, on instinct alone, aimed to protect Violet and shield her from the harm. It was the only thing that filled his mind and when he covered her, a dome of the stone at their feet surrounded them. It was something Zeke hadn't seen before but what startled him more was the light and warmth that filled the dome. Unfortunately, it only lasted a moment. The dome broke and burning timbers fell onto his back.

When he woke up, Zeke was greeted by his mother, sister, father, and Violet. Zeke's father had the grin of a proud father plastered on his face. Violet had told Zeke's family of his spell and what it was like. The two knew he had combined magic to create a somewhat unique spell. And they decided to help him learn how to get better at it. They immediately transferred him into the same school as his sister and had his training begin.

Shortly after his enrollment though, Zeke's father died. He was off on some classified bodyguard job and was killed protecting his employer. This devastated Zeke. Sure his father had hardly been around and had compared him to his sister, but his dad had always supported him. He had pushed Zeke to find his forte in magic so that Zeke could live a life full of excitement like his father. And now he was gone. The only thing that Zeke could truly think, though, was that his spell, that he was now calling "The Cradle of Life", could've helped. He felt frustrated with himself and decided to focus all his efforts into mastering the spell. And with that, he decided that he was going to go to Lyrithna to learn from the best of the best.

Quote:

“Tradition is dead. Have fun, make some dancing cake toppers.”

Full Name: Abel Lemorte

Nickname: Morty (close friends)

Age: 19

Birthday: November 23rd

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Bisexual

Nationality: French

Languages: French, English, Spanish (slightly)

Hair Colour: Ashen Blonde

Eye Colour: Moss Green

Physicality:

Tattoos / Markings: Despite it being frowned upon by her parents, Abel has had his body tattooed more than once, albeit in areas usually covered by clothing to avoid them being detected easily. The more prominent one is an enchanted tattoo of a watch on his left wrist, which tells the time like a regular watch would. According to him, while there is no upside compared to wearing an actual watch, it looks cooler.

Distinguishing Features: Abel was a rowdy kid growing up, getting into trouble more often than not. This has covered his body in bruises and scars, the most telling one being a deep cut from above his chin through his lower lip. It was a memento from the first time he tried using Transformation magic, as he was met by a kick to the face from a rather angry-looking dining chair.

Parents / Guardians:

Elaine Blanche-Lemorte (mother)

Gerard Lemorte (father)

Personal Relations:

Abel's relationship with his parents is a torn one. The Lemorte family was famous within the magical community for being extremely skilled concoctioners, their potions being sought after by the prestigious elite due to their reputation. They also highly valued tradition and sticking to the family's ways of magic, which is why they've always given praise to his older brother Luke over Abel. Abel didn't resent his brother for following the family's traditions and keeping up to their parents' standards, in fact, they've been best friends for their entire lives. During his formative years Abel outright refused to study and practice potion decoction, mostly to spite them.

Personality: Abel is obnoxious, loud and annoying. And he knows it all too well. There's nothing he loves more than to jump on somebody, friend or not, and start up a conversation. This has earned him dirty looks from time to time, as not everybody wants to hang out with a complete stranger. He's also not liked by those who value bloodlines and traditions either, as he's the complete opposite of what the Lemorte family represents.

Those who've had the mistfortune of hanging around Abel for long, however, are unable to deny his radiant charisma and fun spirit, traits that make him the perfect friend to brighten a rainy day. Abel does have his rainy days too, however. And, few and far between as they may be, they come in intense and extended bursts of palpable gloom that are hard for him to bounce out of on his own. A social person to the core, the only way for Abel to get out of these slumps is to have a friendly ear and a shoulder or two to lean on.

Strengths and Virtues:

Unbreakable Spirit: It's hard for Abel to outwardly display any sort of doubt or fear, a trait that tends to make others think of him as a reliable friend with an unwavering smile.

The Extra Mile: Abel tends to go all out whenever a friend needs (or wants) something. Did you mention how a new book by your favorite author just came out? Expect to have it by your door before next week. Are you on the other side of school, it's 3 am and raining, yet you feel lonely? Look out the window. He's running to your side, probably carrying a pizza.

Creative Thinking: Abel makes up for the fact that he's not as good a sorcerer as his peers with his imagination and problem solving. Even the simplest of spells is full of untapped potential, waiting for his playful mind to discover.

Theoretical Concoction Knowledge: Albeit rusty in practice, given how he's sworn off concocting potions, Abel has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of potion ingredients and recipes.

Weaknesses and Vices:
Proud Buffoon: Sure, Abel is a self-described goofball. He's not the person one would expect to be held to a high standard, be it by himself or others. Yet, at the end of the day, Abel only likes making a fool out of himself on purpose. Messing up and being made fun of take a toll on Abel's surprisingly fragile ego. A flustered Abel can act in ways he'd regret later, his extrovertedness turning into agression like a switch.

Stubborn: It doesn't get any simpler than that. If Abel is set on something, it's nigh impossible to change his mind. This has caused him to butt heads with figures of authority multiple times.

Self-Loathing: Behind the scene, be it when he's all by himself or near extremely close friends Abel's outwardly charismatic exterior turns out to be little more than a facade. In reality, his family's rejection, the fact that they favored his older brother, and the fact that he's just not as good as the rest of his classmates hurt the young man's self-esteem to the point where it gets extremely difficult to bounce back from failure or disappointing events.

Fear: The greatest fear for an emotional trainwreck such as Abel is to be exposed as who he truly is. To be seen by his peers as nothing more than the black sheep of the Lemorte family, an useless sorcerer and an annoying dead weight.

Desire: Abel wishes to prove himself, not to his family but to the world, as his own person completely separated from the Lemorte household, and everything that name implies. He still doesn't know how he'll manage to do it, but that can probably wait until after graduation.

Secret: Abel is naturally more adept at Decoction than other disciplines of magic, but due to his rejection of his family's tradition, he instead puts all of his effort into Transformation magic. This, however, means he's not as skilled in it as somebody who was born with a capability for Transformation. He's actually insecure of his capabilities as a sorcerer, which is why he is so keen on proving himself.

Sorcerous Information:

Sorcerous Specialities:

Favourite Spell:
Ent's Revenge: This simple spell allows furniture such as tables and chairs to spring to life and follow simple orders. They take on animal-like behavior, galloping and trotting from place to place, as well as inheriting secondary physical characteristics of animals such as hooves and tails. This spell isn't particularly useful for anything more than party tricks, but Abel finds it hilarious. Most students have seen (or heard) him around school at least once, riding his bed to class whenever he's late (which happens frequently).

Academy College:
Malum House. While originally intending to go to Vitis, Abel figured he could use his family name to his advantage for once and got himself into a prestigious house instead.

Extracurricular Academy Activities:
During his first year, Abel partook in the Care of Mythical Beasts Society, yet he got into an argument with the president, which escalated into him being expelled from the Society. Abel's pushing for the creation of a less-strict Club specifically tailored to people who wanna explore magic in unconventional directions. As of now, he's the founding and only member of the “Freeform Dueling Society”, yet he hopes to bring in more students as he heads into his second year.

» PERSONALITY
In most encounters, Kavita comes off as mostly laid-back and nonchalant about what’s going on around her. She's easy to converse with, but she always keeps some of herself back until she gets to know someone. She exudes an air of self-assured confidence for the most part, and in certain situations she has been called cocky more than once. She is confident about a few things in her life -- her magical ability, and her commitment to seeing tasks through. She wears her emotions right out in the open, more often than not. She's not one to go out of her way to be acerbic or unpleasant, but if she has an opinion, she will most likely state it outright if she believes it needs to be heard, despite the potential consequences.

A take-charge personality usually guides her way, and even when she doesn't know entirely what she’s doing, she will -- more often than not -- pretend she does. Stubborn and sarcastic can be terms to describe her, though it’s mostly a surface appearance she likes to keep. While getting to know her can be a bit of a challenge, once you crack through the pushy demeanor, the fissures will reveal a softer, warm-hearted side.

She has a bit of a thick skull when it comes to flirting. She's honestly not very good at it, and should someone show interest in her, it's most likely to go right over her head.

Virtues:

Industrious
Driven
Assertive
Dependable
Leader

Vices:

Stubborn
Blunt
Cocky
Untrusting
Dolent

Likes: bloop
Dislikes:
Desire: All of Kavita's ambitions rest on a single event that transpired some years ago. It is neither wealth nor station she is after; only to change the fate that befell her brother, Ravi. Her motivation for power is not one fueled by selfishness, but by sorrow. Somewhere in the mysteries deep within the Source, Kavita believes that there rests the absolute power of the gods, for it is there she derives her own magical power from. Kavita does not confess to know the answers, but she desires to seek them.

The highest influence on Kavita's life are those she loves, now very few. Nothing else matters. Her only real personal desire is to discover the secrets of sorcery and to find what she believes she desires most within. The power to choose when to preserve life and when to destroy it. The power to mend all wounds. The power to bend time to her will. A power to rewrite history. A power to change the past.
Fear:

» MAGIC
Sorcerous Information: The Selyrian Institute of Witchcraft has ensured Kavita an above-standard quality of education, showing particular skill in the school of Alchemy. While she is capable of holding a basic conversation about other academic topics, she is no match for a well-read or well-studied scholar or even a devoted hobbyist to one of those topics. She is, however, intimately familiar with the theory behind most of the magical families though her interests tipped heavily toward alchemy, and -- to a lesser extent -- divination. When it comes to the theory of how to utilize magic on the human body, however, she is utterly useless as she has shied away from that knowledge, in keeping with a general discomfort in the subject.

Specialization: Alchemy

Favorite Spell: Peacemaker: "This array absorbs, then stores energy from its surroundings, then transmutes it into Lightning only if a Human makes contact with the array's field of effect."

As far as transmutation circles go, this one is a favorite among alchemists for self defense purposes. These kinds of arrays can often be found on knuckledusters, rings, or even tattooed onto a person’s knuckles. Since it only creates electricity in an area twice as large as the array, you can carve this circle on a small club or a stick and you’ve got yourself a perfect stun weapon. Each time you hit someone, you will also be giving them an electric jolt.

Make note of the "If-Then" type of trigger described in quotes above. Until that trigger (Human) is activated, this array will passively absorb energy from wherever it can find it: heat, light, kinetic energy, etc. That means when you do hit someone with this, it’s not just the energy from your strike which determines how much lightning is transmuted, but all the energy it has stored up until that strike.

Academy College: Alnus House

Extracurriculars: Chess Club

» BIOGRAPHY
Raman and Lakshmi's baby girl was born in a nice home in New Jersey, a few years after they immigrated from India as newlyweds. Kavita's earliest memories are happy ones; her sorcerous parents both spent a great deal of time with her, playing with and teaching her the fundamentals of the arcane arts. Her little brother Ravi was born two years after her, and Kavita couldn't help but be a little jealous of all the attention dear old dad gave her little brother after that. Still, as a bright, yet upbeat girl, she was an easy child to adore, and was consequently used to being fussed over. She also took well to her early studies in mortal school, displaying an interest in the world outside her city.

At fourteen, she was sent off to the Selyrian Institute of Magic to study. Her education was to last four years, though her mentors were neither the greatest nor the most famous of mages, Kavita received a very solid set of skills, though her training was cut short when a tragedy forced her back home. Kavita spent weeks hiding in her rooms, mourning her brother Ravi, who had fallen to his death in an accident. With him gone, she felt that a part of her had been lost, and she came to realize that that singular event had broken her family almost utterly. Within a year, Kavita's mother was well in the grip of the alcoholism, and her father grew bitter and resentful of the world, and her by extension. Only then did she emerge from her pit of despair, and when she did, she was already assembling her mask. At only fifteen, she was already learning how to hide her true feelings.

Since then, she has applied herself to her studies with the same rigor as before, and stayed out of her family’s way as much as possible without it being noticed. The elusive nature of magic became so much more alluring to her, and to uncover its secrets fascinated her. She wanted to see the unknown, to step beyond the mortal realm to find the truth of what actually existed beyond even the Citadel. She had heard once that there was a world where all the possibilities of the universe intersected, and it is linked to all the myriad such worlds that exist within the pattern of possibility. It is both of those worlds and apart from them. Though some of the scholars disputed this, the fact that no one truly knows fascinated Kavita, and she wondered if her power could be the key to going there. Would it be able to take her back to her brother? Would she be able to reunite with his soul? It was an ambition that was as haunting as it was alluring to Kavita.

And so in her free time, she took to partaking in illicit training sessions and reading tomes on forbidden magic, more out of her own personal interest. She wondered, if those scholars had been right, could alter the pattern of time? Could she prevent Ravi's death, retroactively? Was there an entirely new form of magic out there, waiting to be discovered with such great power? Could she achieve the power that even the mightiest sorcerers would covet and envy?

By the time she was eighteen, Kavita would be chosen to transfer to the Academy of Lyrithna, where she would begin training to become an alchemist. Of all her years of study, there was nothing more arduous and taxing on the mind as Lyrithna, but had grown stronger because of it, and strove to push herself to her limits. And it was there that Kavita began to believe that she herself was destined for some greater purpose.

Her power would one day be that of the divine.

A power to rival the gods.

» WRITING SAMPLE;
The Mechanics of Array-based Alchemy:
This form of magic operates through of a system of circles and glyphs, using transmutation arrays as the main medium for manipulating matter. The array is a large circle in which specific glyphs and runes are written, giving instructions to the array as to how the transmutation should be completed, almost like a programming language using symbolic notation.

Yet the likelihood of an array's ability to function is still dependent, in part, on the laws of physics. In order for a transmutation to work, the target (the thing you want) and the object (the thing you have), must share -- to some degree -- similar basic makeups and properties. For example, an alchemist in handcuffs can't just transmute their metal bindings into smoke or bubble gum. Making that kind of stretch would be impossible without wasting tremendous amounts of mana.

What they could do, however, was investigate the chains' origins and composition, then draw an array to change one or the other. They could transmute the chain so that one of the links had been terribly rusted and decayed or cast incorrectly, presenting a flaw to exploit. That'd be assuming of course they didn't forge the chain out of Silver, the Unchanging Metal.

Similarity is crucial to any transmutation. A transmutation between two similar enough materials could potentially maintain itself indefinitely. If not, the transmutation will fail after an amount of time relative to the similarity of the materials. Mortals used to tell stories about alchemists turning lead into gold, never realizing that the reverse was far, far easier. Adulterating a bar of gold with lead was a trivial process. The reverse, well, not so much.

All being said, one would need an extraordinary amount of knowledge of the background and composition of the natural world in order to make an array take effect for an extended period of time. Therefore, alchemists need to be scholars and researchers as well as talented artisans..

Fear. What her own future has in store for her and for her to fail
Desire. To be one with much power in her hands and of significant authority.
Secret. She who is guarded and turns to alcohol rather than people during times of distress often will not admit her need for someone to talk to.

Strengths

Extensive Knowledge of Plants & Herbs. Raised by a Mother who was ran an apothecary, Astrehilde had been taught the types and properties of herbs and how to prepare them for use. Astrehilde often uses ashes of various magical herbs to mark Runes.
Extensive Knowledge of Legends & Myths. The Hauhreinsolem are Nordic and believe in the Norse magic, mythology and even the gods. Astrehilde had grew up engrossed by the many tales. And over the recent years had she ventured her studies in other myths such as Greek, Roman and those of Asia.
High Alcoholic Tolerance. The visits to pubs are a common for Astrehilde. Even at her third pint, she would not feel any wooziness. There were rumours that the Hauhreinsolems were the descendants of Vikings and perhaps it explained it all.

Virtues

Protectiveness. Astrehilde cares about only very people in the world and she would move the world of them if she had too.
Industriousness. Astrehilde is diligent and hardworking to achieve her goals. Astrehilde knows that the outcomes of a misstep in Magic could be disastrous and so puts in careful effort into her work and makes sure everything is done perfectly.
Responsibility. Astrehilde always seeks to fulfil her duties and will take actions to do so. It’s not often that Astrehilde does something wrong but if she does, she willingly accepts the consequences of her own actions and learns from her mistakes.

Weaknesses

Divination. At a point in time, Astrehilde had enrolled into a Divination class. She believes that she does not have the ability of a third eye and soon dropped the subject. She also believes that it is disrespectful to the laws of time and is an intrusion of others privacy.
Coping with stress. Astrehilde does not deal with pressure and stress very well, she often attempts to escape the situation temporarily with alcohol to ‘clear her mind’. This often does not turn out well.

Vices

Reticent.
Lack of Empathy.
Complacent.
Enmity
Unfriendliness
Straight forwardness

Kimberly Jade Nykron

"When you light a candle, you also cast a shadow."

Nickname: Kimi

Age: 21 (third year)

Birthday: April 10th

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Bisexual

Nationality: Citadelian

Languages: English, Morse code

Hair Colour: Auburn

Eye Colour: Emerald

Physicality: 5'2 with a fit build

Tattoos / Markings: A small Yang symbol on her left wrist and a small Yin symbol on her right wrist.

Distinguishing Features: A thin pale scar that goes from the top of her right eyebrow into her hairline that is normally covered one way or another. She may wear a special set of bracelets to cover her tattoos depending on the day's planned events.

Parents / Guardians:

Father: Ulric Bernard Nykron - An infamously eccentric alchemist. His name is known due to his whole hearted belief that through his knowledge of magic and biology that he could produce some sort of perfection. There is nothing unattainable to those who try hard enough.

Mother: Ashlynn Nana Nykron - a powerful sorceress who specializes in Amelioration magic. She believed in healing physical, mental, and emotional wounds. She attended the academy years ago and left her mark as a woman who never gave up hope in helping those in need, no matter how dire the situation may have seemed.

Adopted older brother: Leonard Jaxon Nykron - Leonard joined the Nykron's lives when Kimi was a newborn as a result of a motherly impulse. Ashlynn wanted her daughter to grow up with the support of a close sibling like she had. At the time he was only 4 and had an aptitude for Decoction. He enjoyed the mixing of ingredients to create a surprise. As he grew in age he matured quickly and used his knowledge and excitement to experiment safely.

Personal Relations: Her mother was a kind, fostering soul who never showed any sign of disapproval or judgement. Like any mother she taught Kimi manners and respect. She was respectfully removed from personal matters when Kimi asked for space and would provide insight and advice when Kimi asked for it. Her best friend was her brother, Leo. He always seemed to have all the answers.

Personality: Kimi is a life appreciating sorceress who is trying to master her affinity for Amelioration. Not focusing only on its well known healing capabilities but also doing her best to analyze and decipher what she can do with the physiological abilities. On a normal day Kimi studies hard, researches in down time, and makes plans when she needs a mental break. She obsesses over things being in complete balance, things are only fair when they are made to be fair, by her interpretation. She cannot shake the stress of bothersome or nagging thoughts. If a solution is not found quickly she fixates on the problem until it is resolved. She's learned how to control herself over the years to keep composed while she quickly works on a solution but when things get to be too much for her she seemingly blacks out. There are certain scenarios where Kimi seems to lose control of herself and experiences her life from an out of body perspective. She is fully aware of what is happening but not able to do much about it. The control she loses forces her to hyper focus on her desires and disregard reason. It is incredibly difficult to pull or force her out of this state. It would take an extreme action resulting in shock. The circumstances of these scenarios are normally when Kimi feels overwhelmed, stressed, or when she's losing control of things she deems necessary to keep control of. She strives to achieve a perfect balance in all things to become successful so that she can feel in control of her life.

Strengths and Virtues:

Calculating | Observant | Determined | Trusting | Resourceful

Weaknesses and Vices:

Easily influenced | Easily Stressed | Hyper focuses | Biased | Unafraid to use physiological curses

Fear: Losing control of herself and situations then being unable to restore balance as she sees fit

Desire: She strives to achieve a perfect balance in all things to become successful so that she can feel in control of her life.

Secret: Blacking out losing control of herself.

Likes:
Sweets | Balance | Success | Control | Knowledge

Dislikes:
Spontaneity | Lack of consideration | Aggression | Violence

Sorcerous Information:

Kimi used her mother's connections to intern and research at psychological institutions. She took notes on how the brain reacts to different stimuli, functions, and heals. While conducting her research she participated in national magical competitions to spread her findings and maybe find someone who might be able to give her more information. She only received recognition at one competition where she blacked out and she was more aggressive about winning. Aside from learning at home through personal research and being exposed to competition, Kimi did not learn through other academics.

Sorcerous Specialities:

Amelioration with a focus in physiological curse manipulation (open to change)

Favourite Spell:

Tionibus - small adjustment spell to change things to her liking

Academy College:

Salix House

Extracurricular Academy Activities:

Care of Mythical Beasts - She enjoys not only helping the magnificent creatures who are in need but learning and teaching how they are not all to be feared.

Restoration League - A club that plans weekly getaways for students to partake in so they can relax and recuperate from life's daily stresses.

Personal History:

Her father believed that the best way to create an ideal child would be to force desired qualities into her while she was a newborn via alchemy. He thought it would make raising a child easier and make her more magically inclined. It may have worked, it may not have. In one overly complicated spell that was too large for a newborn to handle, he caused a head wound on his beloved daughter where magical energy seemed to sink in to her. It was at this moment he packed up his belongings and fled from his family, believing that he had to isolate himself to make up for his mistake. From this point on that blacking out had been a plague observed throughout her life. At first her mother believed acting out to be normal childlike behavior but as Kimi grew it became clear that this was not the case. Leonard took it upon himself to try to reel Kimi in when she lost control. He was the one who took the time to learn what would cause her to lose control and how to keep her as composed as possible.

Kimi grew up feeling as though portions of her life were taken from her and she has developed an aversion to anything that causes her to be pulled toward blacking out. This is part of the reason as to why she is so strict about things being in controlled balance. She fears what could happen when she blacks out. With knowledge of how recklessly her blacked out self will act she is determined to find out how to heal herself and the balance she needs in her life to be happy.
