"I'm the warden of your prison."

Taran is tall standing at approximately six foot two. He dresses and looks like he appears above except all of his shirts have the guild mark in yellow over his chest since people can't see it on him with his shirt on. He usually wears a bladed chain on his side. It serves two purposes. It tends to fool people into thinking he's a non-mage who just uses chains at his side to fight despite the guild mark on his shirt. And it's a weapon he tends to use when he doesn't want to waste magic or he already has.

Rank::
A



Personality:: Taran finds it hard to get close to people. In a world outside of the circus everyone tends to be more "normal" and he finds it hard to open up to them because of that. Once people do get to know him they realize that he's nothing like what they'd imagine a circus performer to act like. He's serious yet gentle to those he considers friends or allies. Despite finding it hard to get close to people he seems to learn about them quickly by just watching them. This started back when he was with the circus. He was told to understand the audience and it was a difficult thing to do when the audience changed every night. This tactic in the circus led to many of the performers improvising their shows to make it more enjoyable for the people. Because of this he found himself to be a near perfect strategist or tactician earning him many successes on his wizard jobs. His ability to learn about people and manipulate a situation in his favor earned him the nickname Ringmaster. Taran is also very loyal person despite leaving the circus to become a wizard. He may not be close to most in the guild but he'd protect them as if he was.

History:: Taran was left behind at the circus when he was a baby. He doesn't know who his parents are and he doesn't care. They never even left him with a last name. Taran was the one thing they left him before they disappeared into the world forever. To him the circus was his family. He grew up in the greatest circus in Fiore and was raised by everyone in the troupe. He didn't have a "single" parent among them. For the first few years after he could walk and talk he wondered what he could do in his future performances. He tried his hand at many things and although he was good at them none of the things that they suggested really spoke out to him.

He almost gave up when he was eight and couldn't find anything until he found some discarded chains. He started playing with them and after some slip ups he picked up on the use of them and came up with an entirely new act for the circus involving chains. When he was ten years old he finally was able to perform in the circus. He was given a bladed chain by the ringmaster and went out to perform. What was the circus without putting a kid's life in danger? His act became a success and one that spread throughout the country of Fiore. A kid wielding a bladed chain in an amazing circus act? That was quite the story.

When Taran was twelve he met a wizard in a town they stopped in. The wizard found him interesting and told him of his magical potential and about magic in general. He immediately thought about using magic to create magical chains but knew that he'd never be able to use them in the show. The reason why their circus was such a hit was because it offered an escape from the world of magic and let people see a world of new wonder. How you could be special and unique without relying on magic. Taran decided to practice magic in secret and found himself to be a natural with it. By the time he was fifteen he discovered that he had an affinity for a second magic. The elemental magic of lightning. He practiced with this magic finding it more difficult than what he was used to but it was also powerful.

When he was eighteen after their last show of the tour he asked the ringmaster if he could leave the circus to pursue a career as a wizard. He had thanked them for all that they did for him and reassured them that he would never forget them. He even reassured them that they could "hire" him for wizard jobs that had him work in some shows. The ringmaster decided to let Taran go and after saying his goodbyes to everyone he set off on his journey.

Through his travels with the circus he had heard of a relatively new guild in the merchant town of Luna Crescente that had a similar view on magic that the circus did. That you could still do a lot without magic but it could also be an extension of what you can do instead of just a crutch to rely on. He decided this was the perfect guild for him and so he's been with the guild since then and increased his rank in the guild through power and job success.



Magic Name::
Chain Magic

Description::
Chain Magic

Known Spells::
Chain Prison: His chains are mostly used for attacking and grappling but this technique is a bit different. He wraps his target or targets in his chains and restricts them in place. The chains are tight once they constrict around their target.

Chain Drain: This is a technique he can only use once Chain Prison is in effect. He can't use it while simply grappling onto the opponent. After wrapping around and constricting the opponent with Chain Prison Taran can drain mana from his prisoner. The drain isn't fast but it's noticeable. He can use the drained mana to add to his own or replenish it.

Healing Chain: This technique can be used with or without Chain Drain. Using the same manipulation of mana with the technique he can use the drained mana from a target to heal his own wounds as the mana travels back to him. He mostly uses this technique to heal allies though and when he does that he just attaches a chain to their body(usually on the wound) and heals them using the mana within his body. At most it can heal broken bones.

Magic Name::
Lightning Magic

Description::
Lightning Magic

Known Spells::
Lightning Body
Lightning Bolt: Taran focuses on an area or an opponent and brings down a bolt of lightning. The size and power depends on how much mana he puts into it. For show he can lift his hand and bring it down to symbolize the lightning coming down. It becomes even stronger if it's actually storming.
Electric Shock: Taran aims at an opponent either up close or at a range and sends lightning from his hands to shock them. Weaker than his lightning bolt spell but easier to use in a battle where they're moving around.
Lightning Fist: Taran's hand or hands is covered in electrical energy before he punches the enemy. This can be used with a single punch or a barrage shocking and numbing the struck areas.
Combined Magic: Electric Prison: After using Chain Prison he embues the chains with lightning mana to shock and basically torture the target.

Other

Not well versed in melee combat and uses his speed with lightning to his advantage if it comes to it.
Taran is a master with ranged attacks and a master at using his chains. When he was a kid he dubbed his technique over it Chain Fu.

Relatives::
Everyone in his Circus

Possessions::
Bladed Chain: This is a chain that he keeps at his side. It was given to him by his ringmaster before he left the circus to join Golem's Hand. The blade at the end, much like his magic chains, can be used for blunt attacks or impalement.
