Ashton has always taken life a little too seriously. At least, that's what her brothers always said. Of course, with them being six and eight years of age, she can easily dismiss their assumptions as the ignorance of youth. In her own view, she is simply more grounded than many of her peers. Long disillusioned by the trials of life, her stoic face offers a stark contrast to the flashy powers she possesses. Despite the natural tendancy of flames to spread and be destructive, Ashton focuses largely on control. This applies not only to her powers but to every facet of her life. Control, she feels, is the most important thing a person can possess. Though sharp-witted (and usually sarcastic) when she desires to be, Ashton is a woman of few words. And even fewer smiles. For years now she has focused her training and he free time almost solely on self-reliance, and because of this. her social skills are severely underdeveloped. This in fact may be her biggest flaw. She'll fight without fear and without anger, but when it comes to small talk, she finds herself absolutely terrified. Thankfully, her cold demeanor tends to put people off, so she is rarely forced to interact with other people. When she does, she'll nod and listen, but her face never changes. Usually, the lack of sympathy in her expression is enough to convince anyone to take their rantings elsewhere. Yet that is not to say she feels nothing. Despite the coolness of her features, Ashton often feels deeply for the people around her, but seeing this as weakness, she tries to bury it as best she can. Passion for anything, and anyone, is the enemy of control. Still, she loves her brothers, and would do anything to protect them and help them become stronger. She justifies this with her world view by claiming it is her duty to her family that drives her, but in reality she loves them. Of course, Ashton is only human. Try as she may to hide it, she often feels lonely. Though it frightens her, she still feels the desperate need for human interaction that every human being must face. Her personality comes out clearly in her fighting style. Ashton is a fencer, and her weapon, the rapier, is designed specifically for precise thrusts. Battle is a dance to her, every step carefully calculated. She fights with grace and poise, and to many have described her style as beautiful. However, she is not as powerful as she could be due to her reluctance to use her flames. Flames are wild and unpredictable, and she does not yet trust herself to wield their full power. Instead she focuses some of her fire around her blade, heating it and increasing its effectiveness.
History:
Ashton had a relatively happy childhood. It wasn't until she was twelve that the world began to mold her into what she would become. Her mother, a loyal and passionate woman with a bit of a fiery temper, died while giving birth to her youngest brother Asher (yeah, they picked fire names... her Dad thought they were being creative.) Riddled with grief, her father began to change. He became cold and distant, leaving Ashton to care for her younger siblings mostly on her own. Then one day, he disappeared entirely. Ashton left school, working to provide for her brothers, but she still trained in her free time. What energy didn't go into her job went into fencing. With the little extra money she had, she began paying an instructor to teach her. It was at this point she learned of her calling as an Aedis. During her training, her instructor pushed her past her limit, causing flames to erupt from her body. Ashton was terrified, but her teacher realized what she was and insisted she immediately go to a special Academy to train. She was wary at first, but when she was told why she was born, to protect those who cannot protect themselves, she knew it was a calling she could ot refuse. By then she was older than most of the new students, but her combat experience helped in evening things out. She was told that this gift she has is meant to protect others, and that is what she intends to use it for. But her first concern is her brothers. Unsure how these powers develop or are passed on, she knows that if they have these abilities, somebody must learn enough to teach them and keep them safe. After all, those kids had always been rather reckless... and fire is a destructive force.
Weapons: Her bident named Leucothea and golden scalemail gauntlets. Her power crystal is encrusted in the crown on her head (see appearance.) Background: Nymph was an abandoned child who had found her way to a small fishing town. Though she can't remember her past before this, she was mistaken to be a water elemental 'nymph' from lore due to her incredible control over the water, and thus got her namesake. She was praised as a goddess, able to calm the waters to allow for fishing or make them vicious to wave more fish in, allowing the town to greatly prosper under her influence. The academy caught wind of the incredible "nymph child" when she was around the age of 11, and the small fishing town was now a booming success. They witnessed her powers, and deemed her an Aedis. The town was reluctant to give her up, but Nymph promised to return once she had completed her studies. With no other name to go by than "the nymph", the academy decided to call her by that. Personality: Nymph, even as a child, was full of energy. Whether that is good or bad is really up to you. She is very curious about every little thing, and is especially in love with shiny things like jewelry (hence the amount she wears.) She is a bit of a daydreamer, and is known to wander off if she loses interest in something or if something else catches her eye. Though they tried to teach her, Nymph isn't very good about personal space. If there is something on your person she is curious about, Nymph will not hesitate to poke and prod without a word to the owner. She is drawn to water, and half of the time when she leaves supervision it's to splash in a pool of water. Nymph is extremely friendly, and has little problem making friends due to her fun and almost childish personality. She dislikes sweets or hot weather, preferring instead a shady mild climate and bitter or spicy foods.
Name: Luca Miasmas Element: Darkness Age: 20 Appearance: Weapons: His buster sword Nether. His crystal has replaced his left eye, covered with a bandage wrapped around his head unless he's fighting. He also has a clawed gauntlet on his left hand. Background: Luca's family is one of high wealth, or rather... was. They had a strong line of Aedis in the family, but despite their strength, they were slain in the middle of the night by an unknown killer. Luca was not home that night. Just a day earlier, Luca had found out about his own powers as a Dark Aedis. He was strong but always said that he needed to be stronger, faster, better. It was almost an obsession. After the massacre, he joined the academy and excelled as a student. Personality: Luca is in general a manipulator with a god complex. He thinks everyone is beneath him, and that they are mere puppets to tug at when he needs them. He finds others boring and idiotic, preferring to be alone if he can. Of course, this side he keeps hidden. Like a true con artist, Luca acts charming when dragged into social situations, people often calling him "sweet" and "gentlemanly." Though he uses honeyed words, beware- he most likely wants something from you. Luca believes he is the ultimate judge of good and bad, and his balance of this is warped. Those who praise him and adhere to his lunacies of divinity are loved, while those who object are persecuted. He is a quiet sadist who will stroke your cheek with one hand and stab you with the other.
Full name: Alexander Schinios Elements: Light Age: 19 Appearance:
I do not own this
Traits:
Some of Alexander's strongest personality traits originated from his private tutor, Euphelia. She is the one who inspired Alexander to become a man who thirst for knowledge and a person with desire for greatness. He claims that he is the only person suited to become the leader of the Aedis, and believes that he will lead the Aedis, a force of good, to banish all evils from his land. Whether or not he is a person destined to become great, Alexander certainly has the confidence of one. He had an absolute vision of his own future, and was driven by a great amount of will and determination. This, however, sometimes causes him to be disillusioned and off the world, to lose touch with reality, and a little bit vain, all of which can have serious effects on him later on
Speaking of destiny, Alexander is a traditionalist and a spiritual person. He fundamentally believes that everything in this world is predestined, that his fate to become Aedis's leader is all but a matter of time, and that he must be utterly prepared for it. He has a calm and logical side, undoubtedly thanks to Euphelia's tutelage. But although he is opened to reasoned debate, Alexander is a hard nut to crack, a stubborn man. When angered, he will also abandon his composed attitude and becomes violent, rash and impulsive. To those who lacks the vision of their future, Alexander can also be very condescending and arrogant, considering them not worthy of being his acquaintance. But despite all the downsides to him, if you have earned his trust, he can be a very loyal companion and a protective partner
His confidence and fierceness are clearly demonstrated when he fights. Alexander is a capable horse fighter, and his partner, Stella, a female white heavy horse, is his main powerhouse for force, as Alexander usually uses her to gain speed, knock down enemies, leaving them vulnerable to the trampling of his horse or the mercy of his blade. His appearance on the battlefield with his companion can also stir the combat morale of other Aedis. But because of this recklessness and his tendency to be the first one to charge into battle, he is almost certain to become the main target of the enemy. Despite being a light Aedis, his skill tree is extremely one-sided. While he can use the light's aggressive laser and the defensive force-field abilities decently, and the light manipulation mediocrely, his support skills like invisibility, teleportation and mimicry are seriously under-developed, something that he is working to rebalance. And while a good horseback fighter, he isn't powerful on foot, as the physical power and the high ground advantage of his attack is mostly relied on Stella.
Background:
Born and educated solely by his mother, Alexander was a light Aedis by nature, but it was not until he was thirteen did he realize the innate power that he possessed. Before that, because Alexander's family was relatively poor, so he spent most of his childhood homeschooled by his mother, who despite being immensely busy with her work still spent times to teach Alexander about everything that he needed to know, from science like mathematics, physics to basic philosophy like culture and history. But it was when he was thirteen that his life made a drastic turn, when he was on a normal cave expedition, where he suddenly glowed with great intensity inside the dark cave. He was taken into the academy shortly after, and was given a private tutor, Euphelia, who inspired Alexander to become who he is today.
During his time at the academy, Alexander still attended classes like normal students, but he mostly spent his time inside the teacher's room, where Euphelia had allowed Alexander to enter for her own tutelages. For the next four years Euphelia furthered Alexander's knowledge about his powers, the code of conducts and the mandate that the Creator had bestowed on him upon his birth. But perhaps the most important thing that Alexander had studied from Euphelia was inspiration and will to realize the huge ambition he had within him ever since he was a young child. By constantly reminding him of the grand fate and destiny of an Aedis, Euphalia was able to etch it deep into Alexander's mind, combining with his quick learning traits, his natural born powers, and you have a recipe for a great warrior. In exchange, Alexander enjoyed the time he spent with Euphelia, and to this day, he still respected her as one of the best teacher he had ever studied under.
At one point, around a year after Alexander entered the academy, he found a lost lone white horse inside a forest during one of his excursion there. Afraid that the creature might be killed by a predator, Alexander tried to pull her back to the academy, but she initially refused. After a while examining, Alexander noticed that the creature had heliophobia, a phobia in which is the fear of sunlight. Despite being very unexperienced with his magic at the time, Alexander managed to use his light manipulation ability to shine on the horse, trying to mimic the sunlight. She freaked out at first, but as Alexander kept on calming the creature, reassuring her that all was ok, the horse eventually got over her fear. After the incident, Alexander kept the horse and named her Stella, after the night sky, the only time when the animal could feel at ease. The academy initially did not allow pets, but then made an exception, on one condition that she must be kept in one of the corners of the school ground. Stella later became Alexander's companion on the battlefield
Weapon:
The light crystal is located on the gorget of his armor.
A little backstory for the two if anybody want to read
Sometimes, a faithful day doesn’t have to be all big and shiny with all the commotions and tumults of the world that the gods bring down upon us. To this day, we still did not know whether this was a mere coincidence or a fated event that the higher beings had all planned long before when both the two of them were only a bunch of sands on a salty beach, but the encounter was a beginning of everything. It started peacefully, during a monthly normal class excursion to the Noasis river for the Aedis to practically test out their blessed powers.
“Hey Alexander. Is that a horse over there?”
One of Alexander’s friend, Thomas, asked, his finger pointed in the direction heading to the forest. Alexander looked with him.
He was right. It was a horse. A white horse
“Yeah, that’s right…But why is it alone like that?” Another Aedis, a female water Aedis, confirmed Thomas’s vision.
“He might be wild…But he has a rein on him. So he must have had an owner” Alexander said. “But the area seems to be quite remote. Not many people would live here.”
“Hey! The class is leaving you behind. Let’s go!” His train of thought was interrupted by a student from afar. All those who were looking at the horse, Thomas included, walked away without any objections, except for Alexander. The reason couldn’t be simpler: he can’t. Whether it was because he was charmed by the horse’s beauty or he was worried for the horse’s sake, he did not know. The thing he knew was that he was walking straight to her, into the forest, slowly.
“Hey. You’re a female.” Alexander examined her several times as he reached her, and then hold the rein. “Come on, let’s get out of here. It’s dangerous.”
He pulled the rein gently, with a soft voice, and began walking back to the path that he was taking. The horse followed him peacefully, through the thick trees of the forest, and out. But then…
“NEEEIIGGHH!!!”
It lashed out on him.
The horse jerked violently, lasing the leash that Alexander was holding, sending him tumbling to the ground.
“Oww…that hurts. You look like a stubborn one, don’t you?”
He sarcastically commented, as the horse’s movement was rather awkward, jerking back and forth.
“Alexander!”
It was about time his class had noticed that someone was missing. Around a dozen Aedises, his tutor Euphelia included, rushed towards Alexander, who was trying to stand up from the dirt. Some even had their weapons ready, but was soon stopped by the fourteen years old light Aedis.
“I’m fine, I’m fine. She’s just a little wild, that’s all.”
Said Alexander, as he cleaed himself while still gazing at the still spooked horse. Some were actually relieved that his classmate was ok, but others weren’t so pleased.
“You’re wasting our time. Just leave him!”
“It’s just a horse.”
“We don’t have much time.”
Complaints and whines like that, telling him to abandon the horse kept on escalating, which greatly irritated the young man. He had no patience for such selfish people. But thankfully, a rare sympathetic and wise voice among the dissatisfied crowd had dismissed them before any possible conflict could occur.
“Everyone. Let us not forget the rules of an Aedis. Help those who cannot help themselves.”
It was Euphelia, Alexander’s private tutor, the young woman he had grown to respect.
“Consider this as your first exercise for today’s excursion: tame the creature. There will be a day when you must do this in your real life course, so a little practice wouldn’t hurt, right?”
For a moment, although there were still grumbles muttered under the breathe of some, the innocent and gentle voice of the young tutor had dispersed most of their anger. Now that she had said that, there was no reason to say no.
But after an hour going into it, there were now a ton of reasons to leave the animal. The seemingly simple exercise that Euphelia gave the students proved to be a lot more difficult than they had expected. The horse was so strong, despite being female, that it took at least one Earth Aedis or two people to restrain it. And even if she was restrained it would not allow anyone to climb onto her back. The moment one of the the restraining Aedis let loose of his or her grip on her, she would lash out, shaking around, standing on her two heels and running around, anything to throw the unwanted rider off her back. Again and again, those who tried to climb onto her yielded the same fate: being violently flung away.
“Fuck this shit, I’m done!” Even Thomas, who was reowned for being a determined guy when it comes to challenge, had to give up.
“Come on…” Euphelia gazed at her exhausted Aedis. “None of you can tame it?”
“She’s impossible to be tamed, teacher. We’ve tried to become as gentle as possible and yet she still stomped us like stomping leaves. If you don’t believe it, see it for yourself.”
The class's tutor, after seeing the nods of approval by most of his students, decided to see the horse for herself. She truly indeed was a tough nut to crack. Her stubborn attitude, strong physical strength and unusually weird mental condition had indeed made her quite difficult to tame.
Euphelia headed to pull the rein on the horse, testing the animal, but it suddenly and fiercely retaliated. Although her intention wasn’t to hurt the woman, but her response showed pretty clear to everyone that she was not willing to cooperate.
After the reaction, Euphelia too had doubts about her previous decisions to let the students exercise with a mad horse. She thought that by giving them a real life exercise on a wild horse, then they might get better when someone needs their help. That was a good thing actually, it’s just that she did not expect the horse to be this wild.
“Well, I guess so…” She finally admitted. That the horse couldn’t be ridden.
But it was not until the students were beginning to leave that something actually triggered in Alexander’s mind.
“No…”
“Huh?”
“It can be ridden. I think I can tame it. No…I definitely can tame it”
He said, decisively, as it was set in stone.
The Aedis’s face were a combination of surprise and irritation.
Said the one who had just been knocked down by it an hour ago.
This again…Just when would he let this go? Were the thoughts of a few among the student body.
But before they could say anything, Alexander had already by the white horse's side, this time even more casually than before.
“You don’t like the sun, do you?” He began speaking to the horse, as soft and gentle as a pillow. The horse did not respond, as obvious that she did not understand human language. But for the light Aedis, he knew that she did. In some way.
By constant watching, Alexander found out that the horse was not wild at all. She was just shying away from the brightness of the sun that shone down on her. She might have flung the owner somewhere and ran to this shady forest to calm herself down, that’s all. Then if he could just cure her fear…
“Look…” Alexander then showed his palm to the horse. His eyebrows furrowed slightly, trying his best to use the crystal that he was bestowed upon. He was still yet to familiarize himself with it, but eventually, his palm began to glow and shine. Although the light he emitted wasn’t like the light of a fire Aedis, it was still plausible.
“Neeeiggh!”
The animal freaked out, trying to cower away, turning away from the glowing palm. But Alexander was surprisingly patient with her, touching and petting her with calmness.
“Don’t worry. It’s nothing to be afraid of.” He touched her forehead, trying to release all the fear that she had bore for so long. Bring all the evils and pain she experienced, and banish it with the holy light that the gods had granted us humans so that we could live, expand and shine in glory.
He waited for the animal to calm down, before glowing his palm again. As he had expected, the animal jerked in retaliation again, trying to look away again. But Alexander did not relent, nor was being forceful. He knew that you cannot be impatient with curing a phobia, anger would not do, ignorant would only bring disastrous results. Only patience.
He repeated the process again and again, to the looks of all his friends and his tutor, who were all confused why he was so gentle and patient whereas inside class, he wasn’t really so. The animal’s response was still forceful, but overtime, she eventually got somewhat used to it.
It was then that Alexander knew it was time to take the next step. He walked to the side of the horse while petting the mane of her, trying to let her know that he meant no harm. It was difficult, since you don’t know when he was going to snap. With a single decisive step, he jumped up, wrapping his right leg around her back, his two arms grabbing her nape for stability, and then finally he sat on her, the thing that many Aedis here failed to accomplish.
The creature was surprised, and twitched again, almost sending Alexander off balance. A small gasp went through the spectators, as at that moment they thought he was gonna get jerked off the horse like many others were.
“Stella…” He whispered, with a touch of a feather to her. “That will be your name from now on. You’re beautiful like the moon, like countless stars in the sky.”
Alexander and Stella
The warrior of sunlight, and the mighty steed of the stars.
“You like it, don’t you?”
His palm glowed again, but the horse wasn’t afraid this time.
A beautiful combination.
With a commanding voice and a slight touch of the foot, Alexander had completely accomplished one of the first impossibles.
“Come Stella. Ride! To the Earth’s end!”
And the creature obeyed.
She began to trot, and then turned to a magnificent run, out of the forest, into the nearby plain, under the bright sunlight.
She now had nothing to fear anymore, as she had gotten all the courage she needed in a form of a five foot four young boy, the only person that treated her with all his kindness, regardless of who she was.
The spectators all held their breathe and looked with agony of surprise, as they saw the small yet courageous Alexander riding forth and back triumphantly, having tamed a difficult yet beautiful white horse that they had deemed completely impossible for them to tame.
Euphelia could not stand not smiling for joy from the scene. Her boy had done it. Right when she thought that nobody could ever accomplish. Things that anybody could be proud of. Is he really blessed with the destiny of becoming the greatest of the greats? She did not know, but in him right now, she could see that light, that true holy light.
Alexander, after finishing what was probably one of the most wonderful ride of his life, petted the horse mane again. He knew for sure that this would not be his last. There was still places to go, people to see, and missions to accomplish. And now that he had earned himself a trustful companion, he had no reasons to be hesistant or frightened of them anymore.
He had Stella, and Stella had him.
Alexander and Stella
And so it was accomplished. Two great warriors of the holy light.
Cassidy is not huge on wielding a weapon, in fact, she generally detests the idea unless it becomes a necessity. Taikingas translates to peaceful and amicable. Many not a sound name for a weapon of destruction but she uses the name as a constant reminder that it should only be used as a last resort and only when beneficially to a good result.
Background: Magic doesn't exist, not in any place but stories, that is. Cassidy grew up knowing this. Heroes were rather found in ordinary people than saviours of myth. Love and Christmas were the closest things to magic. Not like you could blame her parents, they had never known that such things did exist, they were ordinary.
Cassidy grew up in a relatively small community of a couple of thousand inhabitants. There was practically nothing of interest in this town par the nice scenery, and most of the teenagers and young adults would spend their days in the larger, more interesting, town only a short drive away. With little to do, from a young age Cassidy had found her own unique ways of entertaining herself whether it be writing stories in her room or talking to herself as she waded in the lake.
Cassidy never really fit in with the very few kids she lived with so she tended to spend the most time with her older brother and his friends than anyone else. With only a 2 year age gap there wasn't huge varying differences anyway. Recounting her early years would, honestly, only prove lacklustre as nothing seemed to happen in that little town.
That all changed when the two strangers showed up.
Even to this day Cassidy fails to know how they knew of her or who she was but somehow they did. Things seemed to be rather normal one day until she was edging her 12th birthday. She got into a fight with her brother and a blast of wind flew from her fingertips sending him flying to the ground, ultimately resulting in him breaking his arm (luckily nothing more). The confused, and slightly frightened, girl backed into one of the strangers who explained to her what they think she might be and, after a very extended talk with her parents, took her to Aedis Academy
Personality: Cassidy is a rather sweet girl and cares deeply for people, however she is very headstrong and will fight for what she believes in. She can find herself getting into little arguments all over the place and would rather win an argument with an incorrect fact han admit she was wrong. In saying that, however, she generally takes the peacemaker role when others are fighting, eve if it means getting involved in things that she never needed to.
Cassidy is rather insecure in herself and almost fears her power and herself alongside it, albeit having decent control over it. This fear tends to hold her back from her maximum potential. She has a lot of faith in the others, though, and will encourage them in their endeavours. She's generally a friendly person but struggles with her powers. She cares a little too much about what people would think if she showed this though so, although her struggle with her power is obvious, she's too scared to ask for help
Liam Wolfe, known as "Wolfe" by his peers, considers himself the epitome of "cool", which is ironic considering how hotheaded he is. He is cocksure and determined, but not really in a snobby way. While is overconfidence often gets him in trouble, he doesn't necessarily consider himself to be above other people, especially other Aegis. As an elf, he is quite used to being surrounded by beauty, and is somewhat obsessed with it. He is good-looking, and he knows it. He's not afraid to talk about it either. But he is just as ready to hand out complements to others. Wolfe is incredibly social and talkative, and he loves to be the center of attention. However, he isn't terribly good at listening. Relying largely on natural talent, Wolfe's passion and recklessness cause quite a bit of concern for his teachers.
History:
Wolfe came to the Academy at age 10, around the same time as most other students. With his raw talent and expressive personality, he quickly rose to the top of his class in both scores and popularity. However, this has not given him much chance to mature. Thought he is 19 now, he has not yet grown up. Despite his power, the mentors have assured him that there is quite a bit f development necessary if he wishes to pass his trails.
Appearance: His crystal is located on a necklace that rests in his jugular notch
Weapons: [HIDER=swords]
:
Arrows: made out of pure shadow, which he forms at his will.
He sticks to his bow more often then not, but is highly skilled in his sword for close range combat.
Personality: Digen is a sly fellow. He has learned how to trick, fool, and manipulate. He will become a person's best friend, before his unseen hand stabs without mercy into their back. He will try to learn everyone's most hidden secret, and use them against them. He seems to show no remorse, and all emotion is on a slightly dampened level. He enjoys attention, and in fact cannot stand not receiving any. Even know to act out and cause a disturbance specifically to gain the attention he so desires.
Biography: Where to begin on Digen's upbringing... he was born to a female in exile, struggling to deal with life on her own let alone a newborn baby. She struggled for three years, before she ran into the wrong people. She and Digen were abused, in all sense of the word. Especially as the young boy grew older, it began to be much much worse for him. He lasted for many years, until when he was 11 and his mother, his one and only support system, passed away in front of him. This caused Digen to breakdown, killing many of the people around him with a solid wall of shadow, before disappearing into another. Where he ended up, he could not tell you. He was passed out, near death. He was found on the opposite side by workers from the school and was immediately brought back. It was noticed that he was not completely right, and while the marks that covered his body told a different story, he refused to say anything about his life before. His manipulation began, easily picking up on these traits. He rarely sleeps, his sleep plagued by things of the past. Multiple times he has been evaluated for his mental health, but each time managing to scrape by as clean, much to the wonder of those who interact with him the most.
He is most skilled at transporting through shadows, becoming a shadow, and hiding inside of them.
Weapons: A large wok with a long handle that can be used as a blunt weapon, a locking mechanism on the handle allowing it to fold in to be used as a shield or simply to minimize its size for storage. Background/Personality: Emanuel hails from a large city on the continent where his parents were secret druids who practiced their craft as urban outdoorsmen, harvesting plants from windows and planting seeds in cracks on pavement. Emanuel learned to cook at a very young age, using his power to collect food as well as cook it. At the age of ten, seeking to improve his magic as well as his cooking, Emanuel challenged himself by applying to join Aedis Academy. In spite of his nonchalant personality, he managed to quietly pass whatever tests the teachers and school had thrown at him thus far, and with a good deal of flourish even, due to being well fed and well practiced.
Weapons: Two short blades Background/Personality: Icarus has been at the academy since the age of 10. He wasn't motivated to do well for a long time, often showing up late, was tardy and quite disruptive. However, as his sister was ill, she asked that he only applied himself a bit more. Hearing of the news, Icarus left to see his sister, however, being his usual self, he was too late, showing up after her death. It was from then on that Icarus turned himself around, excelling in class and always showing up early or on time. He's determined, kind and protective, however he always looks like he's hiding something
Weapons: Ixa eschews conventional weaponry in favor of ice weapons
Background/Personality: Ixa was born to an incredibly mundane family. Growing up he was a mischievous headstrong kid. Eventually he'd make his way to the academy. As he grew up he matured become laidback and , but he has a drive to him propelling him in practicing and learning his abilities. His practice and experimentation has lead to develop his own trick with ice which with even more trial and error to improve it.
Although he maintains a cordial relation with the people he has the most interactions with, he oddly hasn't really made any sorts of friends. Acquaintances sure, but not friends in any meaningful sense. Some might speculate it that he's just been sucked into his studies and practice and thus cut himself off from contact. Truth be told he just hasn't found himself compelled to hang around anyone too strongly. He does his own thing and is more or less passing the time until the trials starts which looks forward to successfully completing.
