Moriadus has seldom been seen wearing anything varied from a long old robe. Contrary to many old mages, his hair has kept it's color of natural blonde even to the roots, deceiving from his true age. Moriadus has a wooden stick formed to replace his left foot halfway up his shin, as he lost it in a destructive potion spill with one of his colleagues.
Social Status/Job: Moriadus hermits within the forests far from Aria. He has been away from civilization for 67 years, in pursuit of his ideaology to study without social distraction and practice magic. His only friends have been the wildlife amonst the forest that visit him from time to time for food and company, which he appreciates seeing as his life is overdue to death. For the entirety of his hermitage, he has been studying a large portion of Illusion magic (primary) and quite a bit of Congregation magic (secondary). He knows a bit of Restoration (tertiary) from his studies to help heal birds and keep his health about him. Due to his help of animals, they oftentimes revere him and aid him in certain endeavors like deliveries or messages.
Weapons/equipment: A long brownish green cloak, a canvas bag with a strap for carrying small objects, a handmade falconry glove made of canvas to hold onto birds with talons, a long wooden staff containing an emerald orb inside the woodwork at the top, 5 breadrolls, 1 stale breadroll for birds, and a cantine filled with purified water.
God you worship: At sunrise, he praises Aura's name and blesses his awakening to another day in nature with a small ceremony. Also, he celebrates Jirua and Enally equally, as these are his main virtues to go about in life.
Strengths: Exceptional at Illusion magic, can cast spells with a wave of his hand without much notice of the opponent, allowing him to defend himself in unperceived ways. Since he was preparing to study magic so intensely, he put forth the majority of his time into developing a skill called Empathetic Casting. This skill lets him lay his hand upon a willing friend, and split the energy required to cast a magic spell by half to each person, him and the willing friend. Also, he has much wisdom from lifelong experiences and studies. Another thing is that he has a lot of morale with normal forest life, so tasks can be done every once in awhile by his animal friends instead of himself, such as carrying an unconscious friend, but animals will not fight for him unless he casts Congregation magic. They are his friends, not guardians.
Weaknesses: Moriadus is old and frail, not in stamina but in body structure. He also has a wooden branch foot, so he has a limp and therefore cannot walk incredibly fast or perform many physical feats. Moriadus tends to become angry at whoever disrespects birds or small creatures; he feels strongly that whoever takes animal life out of fun and not survival should be put down in the same fashion. He can forgive, but never forgets the animal disrespect anyone has committed.
History/Notable achievements: Wise Moriadus Wingswell is credited to the invention of Empathetic Casting, as well as surviving through extremely good health habits and maintaining his magical abilities into his elder years as if he were in his prime.
Moriadus left Aria after a potion accident cost him his leg. He was going to forgive his colleague for the mistake, but soon found the colleague dabbled in Necromancy with animals. This angered him and drove him off to study on his own, without the tainted ideals of those around him. He would not learn their ways, and would instead delve into nature for the rest of his life to study true natural magics.
In his 87th year (present day), he stepped out of his tree hut to see the forests in chaos; fires in the trees, crops withering to nothing, and his animal friends being slaughtered and exterminated by the Dusks. This was yet another time in his life that he was set off, and went onto a journey to help Aria against the Dusks. He wouldn't let nature be destroyed by these beasts anywhere else any longer.
Personality: Moriadus is stern and quiet. He can joke and talk to a few people, mostly other natural hermits and sometimes old fauns. He has his aching back and complains to himself about his pains, but when battle arrives, he steps up with his staff and can fight with the best of them. He is exceptionally kind to animalia, especially birds like crows and falcons.
p.s. He has bad hygiene... Hasn't bathed in a hundred years it seems.
