Oh, I was actually wondering if I could double up too? I have a character sheet for a mage, and if you guys would prefer that I didn't use him, I totally don't mind, but we seem to have a shortage of mages and I kind of like having two characters to play with, hahaha. Here's my CS: I'm getting on a flight right now, so I probably won't be back for about 14 or so hours, but what do you guys think? He's a necromancer/dark mage-ish kind of thingy! But he's also kind of boring.
Name: Allen Kelly
Age: 17
Occupation: Allen’s parents send him money every month, so he can’t be bothered to get a job.
Appearance: As far as boring people go, there’s pretty much no one who looks the part more than Allen Kelly. With his average height, average weight and generally forgettable face, Allen’s the type of guy who could sit next to you in class every day for three years, and you
still probably wouldn’t be able to recall his name on graduation day. That’s alright, though. He’s come to terms with his bland appearance.
Gift: Allen’s always had something of an affinity with dead things. His powers were discovered on his fourth birthday, when his unfortunate mother walked into the kitchen to find that her young toddler had somehow managed to make his way onto the kitchen counter, and was making the chicken she was trying to cook for dinner dance a jig in the oven. Although his magical abilities didn’t manifest in any particularly unique ability like an Esper’s would, they always tend to work a little better when he’s doing something that involves a dead body, or maybe a spirit or two.
Spells: Allen’s spells are all tattooed onto his arms, because he’s always been kind of forgetful, and it really wouldn’t do for him to forget his spell book at home and end up getting into a bad situation. He’s got a grimoire at home somewhere, too.
- Corpse Resurrection: Allen can resurrect and control up to three corpses (human or otherwise) at one time, to be used as distractions or, occasionally, shields. If the body is particularly fresh and he puts a lot of energy into it, he can make a dead body mimic life fairly effectively, but it takes a lot of concentration. He finds it much easier to just do things zombie-style.
- Spirit Drain: Allen can use dark magic to drain the life force of his target, rendering them tired and unable to concentrate, while bolstering his own mana reserves and energy. However, fully restoring his own health can take up to seven minutes of continuous concentration, which his opponent can disrupt by attacking him.
- Nightmare: Using this spell entraps Allen’s opponent in a nightmare in which they are tormented by their own inner demons. The spell is more effective on people who have done things that they regret, but it can be broken by either forgiving one’s self for whatever they are being tormented by, or outside interference.
- Dark Tendril: Allen can use solidified dark energy as a sort of sharp tentacle to stab his opponent. This is by far the easiest of his abilities to use, because it doesn’t take much concentration, unlike his other spells.
School: Davies’ School of Magecraft
Personality: The fact that he’s a part-time necromancer and budding dark mage isn’t really something that Allen likes having publicized. As far as people go, Allen’s politer and friendlier than most: he just happens to really, really like dark magic. Despite his somewhat sketchy interests, however, Allen’s really a very normal guy, and honestly quite forgettable. He’s a little scatter-brained and tends to forget things, but he generally tends to be quite organized. He shies away from large gatherings of people, mostly because when there’s someone more interesting available to talk to, people tend to ignore his existence.
Biography: Allen’s parents, a pair of wealthy entrepreneurs, discovered his powers very early on in life, in a strange incident involving a dancing chicken carcass. Growing up, he was most firmly assured that having necromancy-inclined magical abilities most certainly did not mean that he was evil or a devil worshipper or any such rot, and as such, Allen had an incredibly normal childhood. At the age of fourteen, he was sent off to Academy City to train his powers, and has been there ever since.
