[*][b]Name[/b]: Norvell Perard
[*][b]Age[/b]: 33
[*][b]Gender[/b]: Male
[*][b]Appearance[/b]: Norvell is a tall light brown skinned man with a long, oblong shaped head that is shaved, the only hair on it being the goatee on his face. His facial features are chiseled and his small eyes are brown. He prefers to dress in high class attire with his usual outfit consisting of a red sweater, black pants, and a long black long coat
[*][b]Personality[/b]: A man guided by his objectives, Norvell focuses primarily on penultimate outcomes when making decisions and seldom dwells on the implications of the steps taken to reach them. If people happen to die along the way then oh well, life wasn't promised to last forever. He believes that the ends more than makes up for the means, and as long as his cause is just then his actions performed in the name of that cause are also just. He vehemently refuses to entertain those who try to reason with him otherwise. He is an adamant man who is reluctant to allow his ideals to be tainted by outside influences. To Norvell nothing nor nobody should ever take priority over his "destiny" whether they be family, friend, foe, or his own physical limitations. He is selfish without shame and probably wouldn't take time out to help another unless he can further his own goals in doing so. Then again, in his mind achieving his goals will help bolster mankind. So what if he forgoes saving a few lives? If he accomplishes what he sets out to do then millions will surely enjoy paradise.

Norvell's goal - or rather his "destiny" as he prefers to call it - is to effectively establish balance in the world. He believes that there are many powerful forces which have upset this balance and that they must be weakened to stabilized the world's order. Likewise, he also believes there are entities which aren't strong enough and he wishes to empower them to a point which he feels is appropriate. Third, Norvell thinks that the relationship between humanity and nature has been in steady decline throughout history and that if he can somehow renew this relationship, then mankind will be guided onto the right path. If any part of his "destiny" fails, then Norvell stresses that mankind would inevitably find itself on course to its own decimation. In reality, Norvell's ambitions are vague and they may only make sense in his head. That won't stop him from pursuing them nor reaching only thing that can bring them to fruition -  the Origin of all Magic.
[*][b]Abilities[/b]: Norvell's affinity is for earth and his abilities center on utilizing the land around him to perform spells. Norvell does not have the capability to materialize earth and must have a source of land around for his abilities to be of use. In scenarios where there is little to no land available for him to manipulate, such as being out at sea, Norvell's strongest spells would be of little to no use. Norvell's application of his earth affinity is versatile and he can utilize spells for offensive, defensive, or supplementary purposes such as immobilization of opponents by using land to trap their limbs. Offensively, Norvell can shape and project earth towards enemies whereas defensively he can use the land to create barriers against incoming attacks. Commonly, at the cost of his mobility, Norvell will partially encase his own body with earth for protection.
[*][b]Skills[/b]: Norvell is a competent martial artist and can hold his own in hand-to-hand combat. While he is no marksman, he also knows the basics of shooting a firearm. He is also well versed in history and cultural anthropology. In addition to English, he can speak Haitian Creole, some French, and has a developing proficiency in Japanese.
[*][b]Equipment[/b]: Norvell carries no noteworthy equipment as he relies on his hand-to-hand combat skills and magic in battle.
[*][b]Brief Backstory[/b]: Throughout his life Norvell has witnessed firsthand the corruption of those with too much power and the uselessness of those with too little. He himself weak and powerless, he sought to become stronger so that he may one day change this dynamic. As a youth revolution became his ideal and he developed his own warped version of the social contract - people have the right to overthrow those with authority over them but they also must possess the means necessary to do so. If not, then that authority has the right to crush the rebellion and continue its oppression. Therefore, Norvell came to believe that the authority and the people under it must possess reasonable amounts of strength to keep each other from gaining too much control. Being apart of a weak and disrespected family made him an outcast among his peers which fueled the birth of ideology. He may have never come to accept it, but it is entirely possible that his ideals were conceived by his desire to gain at least the tiniest bit of recognition and self-worth. He came from a disgraced lineage and it didn't matter to most if he didn't reach his potential. So, he was going to enforce change in the order of the magical world and make it a place of equality.

Norvell's desire for change did not apply only to the magical world but the mundane as well. Growing up he watched as people all around him became manipulated by the distractions of the modern world. He felt that these people had lost their freedom and sought to break the chains that bound them and himself. He worked harder in his training and despite his struggling he made enough progress to become noteworthy among his family which wasn't much considering how low the esteem they were held in was. He studied, acquired knowledge, and when he became of age he left home on a journey for he felt that he needed more than book knowledge to reach his zenith. He needed to gain a true understanding of the world he lived in which could only be done by seeing it. With little resources other than the novice skill he attained, Norvell put his family behind him and instead took up the life of a vagrant. He came to learn of the upcoming White Night of Klarsberg through his travels and while he originally didn't think of reaching the Origin of all Magic, he couldn't think of a better instrument for change. Norvell knew that he had to reach the Origin of Magic. No, the world needed him to or else it would fall apart.
