Decided to go for the overzealous, pompus, love/hate/obnoxious type guy. I think I'll make him a knight-celebrity. How could that possibly go wrong?

It's been awhile since I've written something goofy and/or justforthehellavit. Normally I get really, really in depth with my CSes and posts - a full-scale CS for me could take anywhere from 2-12 hours, same thing with a fully-built IC post - but honestly, I'd rather just make someone that will be fun to write for this, which should be much easier. Frankly, my characters and roleplaying projects have gotten away from me as of late. It's turned from a hobby into something I HAVE to spend a lot of time on to get right. I'm looking forward to just writing as a hobby, again.

[b]Name:[/b] Sir Rofield Crowfis Townspoke the 3rd.

[b]Age:[/b] 31

[b]Appearance:[/b] [url=http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131116223860/avatar/images/4/48/Varrick_looking_smug.png]Why yes, that is Varrick from Legend of Korra. Why no, I don't plan on changing it.[/url] Minor side-note, Sir Rofield's mustache will be a little bit more pronounced/strokeable. I think I'll be making that an "item" for him. Sports white painted leather armor most of the time, and occasionally, if necessary (and planned), a chain link vest, leggings and gauntlets to cover it. His family's emblem, a blue lily, is painted into both shoulder pieces and his chestpiece.

[b]Personality:[/b] 
[list]
[*] Tends to be pompous and self-centered in conversation[/*]
[*] Extremely self-confident in most scenarios, including the most unwarrented of situations, which occasionally leads to arrogance when his authority is questioned[/*]
[*] Sees himself as royalty (which he is only a few steps away from), but doesn't necessarily link this to an expectancy to be treated like royalty, particularly among those without wealth.[/*]
[*] In this regard, Sir Rofield is not necessarily delusional or disconnected - to the contrary, he's rather well grounded in what he sees happening to him and in front of him. He just chooses to have a bit of a elitist attitude.[/*]
[*] Looks down on most aspects of "common" life, usually in the sense of him thinking himself gently superior - not confrontational, but rather, passive and flippant with remarks in this regard.[/*]
[*] Can find no flaws in himself as, naturally, said flaws don't exist[/*]
[*] Difficult to manage, prefers to be in charge in any given scenario, even if he has no idea what he's doing[/*]
[*] Takes care of his appearance, occasionally to the point of obsession - loves his mustache.[/*]
[*] Thinks himself a ladies' man, and allows his pride to slip away when in the presence of a woman he is attempting to woo. Some women find his attitudes charming, while others can't stand them.[/*]
[*] To this point, Sir Rofield has occasionally been known to charm someone out of a conversation - although (at the very least) overbearing or disarming during short conversations, and obnoxious over longer periods of time, Rofield is always smiling and tries his hardest to stay witty and the center of attention in conversation. This is a very love/hate characteristic.[/*]
[*] Well educated by a series of private tutors, paid for by his heritage[/*]
[*] Finds anyone born outside of Lella to be inferior to his own people (those of Syrro to be primative, and those of Hullen, uncultured, respectively)[/*]
[*] Does not embrace commitment to an unchanging job (or a long term relationship) very well at all[/*]
[/list]

[b]Origin:[/b] The royal courts of Lella, in the capital city of Heartstone (can be changed depending on what the actual name is). Born to nobles, raised with good education and rather spoiled in his childhood.

[b]Spells:[/b] 
[list]
[*]Summon water - Able to conjure clear, fresh water from his fingertips, usually only in moderately small amounts - enough to fill a glass or pitcher. With multiple, dedicated casters, the power of the spell could potentially be increased to hose down and contain a rampaging beast, or, with an exceptionally large group, to fill a resovoir or lake.

This skill is non-combative - or rather, although it could have combative applications, it's more of something that Rofield can just [i]do[/i]. Not much more than an occasional talking point, though it makes traveling easy, eliminating the need to carry water.[/*]

[*]Plant conjuration - Unlike most "simple" magic, plant conjuration is a delicate, intimate process and is regarded by most citizens as an art form, rather than a mundane, daily practice. In practice, a conjurer "draws" a plant to life from their fingertips, and the potential for creation, be it color, size or type of plant, is limited only by the conjurer's magical capabilities. A skilled conjurer can create a small plant - such as a flower - within minutes, if pressed. However, most artists prefer to spend a longer amount of time detailing their projects, attempting to capture perfection in each piece. A larger plant, such as a tree, could take days of concentrated, continuous effort to complete by even the most dedicated of conjurers, and such projects are only undertaken by those who have entirely mastered their form. A novice to the art may have difficulty expressing elegance at all - those only beginning to grasp the arcane will most likely find themselves creating nothing more than vines or simple ferns after days, weeks or even months of practice, without a master to guide them. 

Plant conjuration is seen as a reflection of one's self, and try as they might, many artists may not ever have full control over what their pieces look like. Color, hue, shape and size are all dictated in part by emotion, and only guided by conscious effort. When the artist is in love or heartbroken, they may produce their most beautiful pieces, while anger or despair can warp a creation, and takes shape in the form of thorns, disease or harsh discoloration - which, in some ways, is beautiful in it's own way. Most royal courts entertain master conjurers as courtroom entertainment (the process of creation can be enthralling and breathtaking), or commission them for gifts for loved ones, peace offerings or other such tokens. When a piece from a master is finished, it will often find itself enshrined in a royal garden, or dried and folded into the pages of a book.

Plant conjuration is one of Sir Rofield's true passions, and he envisions himself as someday becoming a master artist, whittling away his twilight years with visits from grandchildren while he masters his art.[/*]

Magic won't be a huge part of Rofield's character, although I'm REALLY glad I thought of the conjuration aspect. I'm already really in love with the idea, and I think it's really going to help bring the character to life.

Look forward to seeing everyone's thoughts on the subject :)
