Aleric’s hair comes off as short and often messy. It’s has the color of soft sandy blond as his skin tone is light due to the amount of time he spent indoors. He prefers clothing of subtle colors and those made out of loose yet light fabrics. Thin scarves would be an occasional wear as well. 

[b]Background:[/b] Aleric originated from a small town that has a large name that he could never pronounce properly. He came from a small family of low-income, and his very first memory he could remember was looking outside of a broken window of his home and the drips of a leaking roof.

His mother would often tell him that he was the quietest of the three children; the silent one, as a toddler, that would explore every nook and cranny of the house while his parents would fretfully search for him. One time, they found him almost crawling out the window before they hurriedly pulled him away and shut it close. Throughout his life, he still has an instinct to wander about, and it wouldn’t be unusual to see him wandering at the very edge of town or in between the shops and their alleyways. 

It wasn’t until the age of seven when he began noticing the strange phenomena surrounding him on occasion. Small sparkles of lights when he couldn’t see, patches of scorched grass when he’s restless, and strange sensations that would sometimes tingle against his skin. His first instinct wasn’t one of fear, but of curiosity. He ran to the nearest person – which happens to be the town’s only librarian - and asked “What’s this?” before setting of a small amount of sparks onto a stick with just his hands.

He was eight years old when he was taken in as a student by the librarian. Amelia Opus was her name, and she was the only witch in town while being a librarian was a small occupation of hers. However, she has no interest in the actual conduct of magic itself, but only of the research. The library itself turned out to be historic as centuries of information are hidden within its basement. For two years, he had spent his days in the library, rummaging through books and scrolls to provide the necessary information for his teacher. 

Gathering, shaping, and sensing – the central concept of magic was taught to him and nothing else. No magic has ever been taught or conducted except for the basics of controlling his powers and aiding research with the use of his sensing ability that was used to detect enchanted documents. However, he was not dissatisfied. Ms. Opus would answer all his questions about magic to the best of her abilities, but when it comes to cities and lands outside of town, she would clammed up and point at the shelves. With books as his only source of lessons, he would skim through the pages, staring at the pictures of lands and cities outside of his town. 

One day, he ran up to Ms. Opus, holding a book wide open before her eyes. 

“Ms. Opus,” he said, pointing at the picture. A magnificent structure of glass-like crystals reaching for the sky filled the pages. “What is this?” 

“That…” Slowly, she glanced at the picture and ruffled his hair. “… is the place you will soon visit.”

He would be 10 years old when he would finally be sent off to see the Crystal Tower.

[b]Personality:[/b] A quiet boy, Aleric prefers the background rather than the spotlight. In group situations, he becomes a wallflower, keeping mostly to himself; however, he thrives in one-on-one as he become more personal and friendly. His demeanor is calm and his attitude is lax, but he has a thirst for adventure and a curiosity that has yet to be quenched. Whether alone or with friends, he would silently seek thrills at every opportunity or, at least, until his questions are answered. It isn’t uncommon for him to relentlessly stalk someone or ask so many questions that would almost seem like an interrogation. He has no use of most of the information he gathers, but he still seeks it just for the sake of knowing. 

He is naïve in how the world works, and gives trust out too easily. An advocate for peace yet a philosopher at heart, it’s hard for him to keep still as he views the world as a place that has yet to be explored. 

[b]Skills: [/b]
[list]
[*]Information Gathering – Able to gather knowledge and facts from documentations and other written resources. Other methods of collecting data is through eavesdropping or just relentlessly hounding someone for the answers in not-so-subtle ways.[/*] 
[*]Magic Sensing – Aleric is more skilled in this than gathering or shaping. However, he can’t tell where the magic is coming from unless it’s right in front of him. Usually uses it to tell if an object (mostly books) has been enchanted.[/*]
[*]Flute Playing – Has been playing the flute since the age of 7. He had always appreciated the sounds of flutes and pipes.[/*]
