Name: Mikkel Blyn

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Height: 6'5

Weight: 240 lbs

Appearance: He wears a grey heavy wool trench coat with a hood. His skin is pale, and his hair nearly pure white. His eyes are red tinted, marking him an Albino. His teeth are filed down to a point, giving him a menacing appearance. Under his coat he wears a light green long sleeve shirt, and leather straps where he hangs 2 canteens full of water for emergencies. He wears black fatigue pants and old combat boots. He wears finger-less gloves with hardened knuckles, for enhanced hand-to-hand. He has a pair of jagged scars running diagonally left to right across his face. His fingernails are clipped into sharp claws.

History: Mikkel was born in the far north. He was raised in savage lands, seeped in age old culture. His father raised wolves, and his mother was a midwife for the village in which he lived. Because of his unique appearance, he was often picked on. His childhood was spent running and hiding from bullies. He constantly got into fights, and more often than not lost. This vicious pattern continued until he was almost fourteen. He found himself cornered, surrounded by the same kids who tormented him his entire life. They spat curses at him, and called him names. A few of them were armed with crude weapons, such as pipes or pieces of wood. It was clear that they intended to cause serious harm. Mikkel fought the best he could, but was losing quickly. He blacked out in a fit of rage, and when he came to, he found the frozen and scattered corpses of the boys. Fearful of him, the villagers, even his own parents, branded him a demon and cast him out. He was given 2 days of food and sent into exile. He traveled south, to the only large city of the region.

For months, after reaching the city, he survived on the streets. He spent his time honing his new found powers. He scraped up a living through petty crime and small favors for people. This continued until he was sixteen. He ran into a man running from city guards. The man quickly recognized him and snatched him up. He promised to "deal with" him personally. The man took him to a dark, foreboding building close to the city wall. He introduced himself as the local leader of the Black Mage guild. He took Mikkel in, clothing him and feeding him. After a short conversation, he took him into the guild. There, he trained and learned to master his abilities. From there, he transferred to the Academy to continue his studies.

Personality: Mikkel generally keeps to himself. He prefers to stick to the familiar, and if that means being alone, so be it.

Powers: The ability to manipulate local air temperature in a 12 foot radius around him, and the ability to create ice from moisture in the air.

Guild: Black Mage
