Name: Emory Lone
Nickname: Galestorm
Gender: Male
Age: 27
Sexuality: Demisexual
Role: Lead Assistant
Rank: S
Alignment: Balance
Element: Wind
Personality: Emory has many different aspects to his personality. He is often serious, maintaining a bland and unimpressed expression which can turn into a sharp scowl if faced with something – or someone – he dislikes (Chaos). On the other hand, he has a ready smile for everyone, and a soft spot for children (which means those younger than him).
Unknown to mere acquaintances, he has a humorous side, often displayed in the form of dry or sarcastic comments, especially when around the few people he fully trusts, a list which is currently composed of magic users steadfastly aligned with Balance. Emory only allows himself to be carefree, loud and active when in a place he feels safe, such as his home or the Headquarters. He is relatively caring in that while he doesn’t believe in sugar-coating the truth no matter how harsh it may be, he will break the news gently if that person is close to him, or is in visible distress, close to breaking down.
Emory is extremely practical, and strives to be a man of sound moral principles, and would stand by them no matter what it cost him. He can be stubborn and hard-headed when he believes he is right, and refuses to be convinced otherwise unless the opponent manages to bring sound logic into the argument. He refrains from judging people by first impression alone, and usually reserves his opinion until he knows them better. While he might be a hard person to offend, his temper is a slow simmering fire, not easily coerced to rearing up and retaliate, but the right trigger works like oil on fire, making it explosive and abrupt, but dwindles down quickly. The right trigger? Threatening his young’uns in his presence. The older ones can take care of themselves, but the younger evokes his mama bear instincts to the most primitive level. He will hunt the perpetrators down with extreme prejudice, and will stop at nothing until they are six feet under.
History: A member of an old family of magic users firmly on the side of Balance, Emory had grown up amongst magic for his entire life. His soft spot for those younger than him came from taking care of his younger siblings when his oft-absent parents were away. Even for a magic-user, he was a rather peculiar child, one who found solitude amongst tomes and quiet areas instead of running around in the sunlight and mucking about with other children. While he was not a genius by birth, his wholehearted concentration and great mental control paid off, allowing him to master his element to the finest level. His seriousness came from the need to grow up fast when his grandfather, along with his father, aunt and a handful of their colleagues were slaughtered during the battle to retrieve the Jewel from Dormammu. His mother was heartbroken, and Emory took on some of his late-father's responsibilities, as well as striving to take over his position in M.A.N.A. With his determination and growing strength, Emory slowly rose through the ranks, eventually achieving the position as Lead Assistant.
