Full Name: Breckenridge Asino Valenst of Midornia

Nicknames/Aliases:
Breck, Midornian, Witch Hunter.

Age:
17

Gender:
Male

Primary:
Defensive - Specializing in Shielding

Secondaries:
Shadowstepping and Tracking

Description:
Breck stands at a fairly standard 5'11, and posses the lean, agile build common to his ancestry. His skin is a light olive complexion, with silvery hair that doesn't fall lower than his cheekbones. His eyes are also a shade of grey, albeit darker than his hair. Most notably are the multiple piercings in his ears, customary markings that show him to be a witch hunter, or at the very least a descendant of one. His apparel is inspired by goth streetwear, and he takes great pride in looking like something from a pale blog.

Personality:
Breck is rather quiet, and distant. However, this does not mean he is particularly hostile or anti-social, he merely keeps to himself. He does have a sense of nobility, and can be rather charismatic at times, but he has had it ingrained into him that he will never be able to be the person he was raised to be and have deep relationships, that if he comes to love someone or care for them, he will eventually play a part in their demise. As such, he chooses not to inflict himself on others.

Crush: N/A, Breck has been conditioned to both asexual and aromantic.


Skills:
Breckenridge has been trained to be proficient in hand to hand combat, and prides himself as a bit of a pugilist. He has additionally been trained for tracking, acrobatics, stealth, an ranged weaponry. He also has general knowledge regarding basic alchemy and first aid.

Midornian Shielding: Midornians have a specialized use of defensive magic, using it to shield their entire body to act as a sort of protective armor against both physical and magical attacks.

Midornian Shadow Stepping: Along with shielding techniques, Midornians are trained to be competent at shadow stepping. Rather than using it occasionally, Midornians are trained to use the ability rapidly, making it appear as if someone can be in multiple places at once.

Midornian Tracking: Finally, Midornians are trained to track using smell and sight, and even the youngest of Midornians can track an animal for miles.

Weaknesses:
Breckenridge is not someone people are likely to trust or warm up to, after all, he's from a family of witch-hunters in a world full of witches. This distrust means that Breckenridge will have few allies in life, and there is always a strength in numbers.


Brief History:
Breckenridge was born and raised on the mountainous Island of Midornia, an isolated Island home to the infamous witch-hunting family; the Valensts. The Valenst family had for centuries reared their young to be the most competent killers for hire in the world, and upon passing their trials and earning their markings at the age of 16, would travel out into the world to work as glorified assassins for those who could not defend themselves against magic wielders. If a witch was poisoning your well, you'd keep an eye out at the nearest bar for someone with ear-piercings and silver hair. The Children are taught all the skills necessary to do the work that was expected of them, and although they always left with noble intentions, morality can't be used to buy bread. If the Witch-Hunter survive until 45, they would return to Midornia to train and raise the next generation of Witch Hunters, and so forth.

Following the wars however, not enough members of the Valenst family returned to train the children. As such, the exceptional children who excelled at their training would instead be sent off to private academies to further develop their abilities before going out into the world. Breckenridge was one of these "exceptional" children, and as such at the age of 16 he was instead given a year to catch up with his would-be peers academically, then sent to the Marchand Academy.

Other:
Breckenridge has a mild to sever un-diagnosed case of depression.

Brief History:
Lea grew up in quite a wealthy family together with her brother Leo. They were twins where as Lea was the older of the two. They might have looked mostly the same, their personalities were like Yin and Yang. They filled one another with what they lacked. Lea was the brightest and the most active of the two while Leo was shy and smart. They lived in a small mansion with a large garden where they spent most of their time. They did everything together! Even sleeping when Lea got afraid of the dark she would jump into Leo his bed for comfort. They were playing everyday but at a point Leo started to stay inside way more. He preferred reading over going outside, he had finally found a passion in life to focus on. It admired her to do something on her own accord, something where Leo didn't need to be all the time. Lea wasn't as smart as Leo so she was quick to choose something that involved activity. Lea started practicing the sword just like her family did way back. After a while Leo started to get interested into it too but claimed he wasn't as fit as her and that it would be impossible for him to do. That is when Lea proposed to practice magic instead. It was a good choice as they both enjoyed it. Lea began to study with him more to get better grades like him and interesting techniques for magic and sword styles.

Nowadays she is trying to perfect her fighting style, a combination between swordsmanship and magic. Writing down strategies for her to follow and odd turns to throw her opponents apart. Lea has already set her goal in life and what school to go to, she had pulled Leo along with her knowing full well he didn't have any objections. They were world's best duo after all!

Gender:
Male

Primary:
Aquamancy

Secondaries of Interest/Secondaries
Toxin Production, Magical Infusement

Description:
With his almost glowing blue eyes, the large glasses and the short blonde hair, Leo has an inviting and friendly impression on most people who speak to him for the first time. Being 5'8 tall and having a rather average physique, he would blend right in with most people as there wasn't anything particularly outstanding about his physical appearance. He seems to be healthy and keep his body in check- that is the extent of noticeable features of his body.

As for his clothing he usually wears rather bland, simple clothes. Whether it be a black hoodie with nothing printed on it, a simple blue jacket or any kind of colored shirt; His clothes definitely haven't been chosen to stand out in a crowd. While he does own some more nerdy, fanboy-ish t-shirts, he would never wear them outside of his own privacy.

Personality:
Being usually the quiet kid in class, Leo prefers to keep to himself if possible. He offer sa warm friendliness to those who wish to speak to him, but experiencing anything that has more depth than superficial politeness does require some work with him, especially if one wishes to become Leo's friend. This might not exactly be easy, considering that he prefers studying by himself or training with his sister over doing anything social with other people. He isn't opposed to "hanging out", but he just sees more fun and a time better spent in doing things that would forward himself, like improving his magic or furthering knowledge about his passions.

In his own mind Leo knows how to stand up for himself although realistically, he does not do so. There'll be the rare moment when he does do so, however most of the time he is too timid when confronted and it is usually his sister who stands up for him instead. However, despite all of this, he is not socially awkward. It is not that he doesn't know how to interact with other people, he usually does so rather well often being described as warm, polite and welcoming, Leo just doesn't enjoy social interactions as much.

Due to his studying Leo has become rather smart. Granted, it is a requirement for the different applications for his magic that his sister and he had thought of prior while theorycrafting.

Crush:
Open


Skills:
-Quite intelligent, especially in the field of natural sciences
-Quick learner and great analyst which makes him optimal for backseat roles in difficult situations
-Extensive knowledge of chemistry and biology in particular which in combination with his chemical producing magic allows him to both conduct his own research easily and also have a bag of tricks at his disposal at any given time

Weaknesses:
-While not out of shape, Leo is not exactly athletically gifted
-Lack of experience in hand-to-hand combat or physical activities in general
-Struggles to put his theoretical experience and knowledge into practise


Brief History:
Leo Winterberg was the younger one of a pair of twins born into the Winterberg family 16 years ago right alongside his sister Lea. Even at an early age the twins would get along quite well for siblings, often playing together on the property owned by the Winterberg family. This would actually be the case for quite a while in their life since Leo always had problems making friends in school and elsewhere given his rather closed off and quiet personality which was only really able to flourish when at home. Besides, once he had found his affinity for studying, reading and the likes there was hardly ever any reason to go outside in his freetime. The only one who was able to get him out occasionally was Lea who insisted on training with him as she had aspired to become a powerful mage already rather early in her life.
However, Lea was always better at... sports than Leo was. Despite his best efforts, she would always outrun him, always do more pushups than him and he would always lose in playful fighting. Leo didn't mind as everytime they played or trained or did anything like that his sister would be happy and she would smile which was all he needed to enjoy the moment. After all, they were the bestest of friends all their life.
Since Leo adored studying and learning so much he was able to help out Lea with her grades in exchange. It became a healthy give and take, one which both enjoyed.

Eventually, it was his sister's decision to join an academy. Due to her dreams and goals in life, Lea wanted to go there whatever it took and she wanted Leo to come along. Even if this wasn't exactly Leo's lifelong goal, as his goals were to conduct scientific research in the long run, Lea still managed to convince Leo to join her. After all, how could he say no to his dear sister? Furthermore, the mastering of his own magic would further his own interests as well considering the insane usefulness of magic. Their parents, while not being powerful mages themselves, supported their children's goals regardless.
Thus, both siblings decided to apply for the The Marchand School of Sorcery, wanting to start their own new adventure together, as they had always done before.

Full Name:
Tobias Alexander Keaton

Nicknames/Aliases:
Tobi, Professor Keaton

Age:
35

Gender:
Male

Primary:
Defense

Professor of X/Staff Role:
Professor of Defense

Secondaries:
Magical Infusement // Illumination

Description:
Tobias is a lean-albeit athletic-man, standing at 6'0" and weighing roughly 180 pounds. His hair is a shock of white (though he insists it's just very, very blonde), which contrasts his dark brown eyes. His skin is deathly pale, though if one looked closely, they'd find a smattering of scars along his shoulders and back. He also has two very prominent scars on either side his waist. Tobias always has a friendly smile on his face, and carries himself with confidence; this makes him seem quite approachable.

Tobias's clothing can be a bit eccentric. He enjoys wearing large, ornate cloaks adorned with various colors and patterns. His right ear is pierced, often bearing a small silver hoop ring. Tobias almost always has black fingerless gloves on, though they do not seem to have a practical use. Attached to his belt is a scabbard, which holds a knightly sword.

Personality:
Tobias is, in a word, friendly. Suspiciously friendly. He seems capable of breaking bread with just about anyone, regardless of who they might be. His easygoing grin and relaxed posture tend to put others at ease, especially upon first meeting him. He doesn't discriminate against one's age, speaking even to children as equals. Despite this, nobody seems to really know him; he rarely shares any personal details about himself, and tends to avoid direct questions on the matter. Tobias has a way with words that makes him very persuasive, even manipulative at times; one would be hard-pressed to see through this act. Despite his somewhat lax nature, he's unnervingly punctual, always arriving exactly five minutes early to any scheduled event. Moreover, he does take his job seriously, putting a great deal of time into creating lesson plans and projects for his students. In fact, the amount of work he gets done in short periods of time is quite staggering.

Tobias does have some more unusual aspects of his personality. For one, he can sometimes be heard having full conversations with himself; he is quick to dismiss it as a bad habit, and becomes nervous when others catch him doing it. He is also especially prone to headaches, though he seldom complains, and refuses to seek out treatment for it. In addition, he tends to speak to his magical constructs as though they were living things (for example, his magically infused sword, or the balls of light he creates with his Illumination magic). Once again, he dismisses this behavior as a mere eccentricity, but to outsiders it may appear to be very strange.

Relationship:
N/A

Skills:
•Tobias is a gifted user of Defensive magic. He's a veritable master in the field, demonstrating great proficiency with both shields and negation fields. He is capable of using both as means of protecting himself, though he can also use them offensively. For instance, he can cover his body in a flexible shield, acting as a layer of armor that does not inhibit his movement. However, he can also trap opponents inside a combination shield/negation field, imprisoning them and removing their ability to use magic.

•Tobias is also a practiced user of Illumination magic. In addition to Illumination's traditional usage, he can create balls of light that are capable of independent movement, which can be "detonated" by Tobias whenever he chooses. They are almost lifelike, in that they seem to respond to his voice and movements, though this is entirely Tobias's doing.

•While not as proficient with it, Tobias is decent with Magical Infusement as well. His sword, for example, is enchanted so that it can create an energy shield at Tobias's will. His favorite cloak is also enchanted to be fireproof.

•Tobias is very charming, and gets along with others easily. He is capable of reading people, and is good at manipulating them when he feels the need to.

•He has a great deal of combat experience, and makes for a difficult opponent to face in battle. He is unusually resilient, capable of taking quite a beating and yet still managing to get back on his feet.

Weaknesses:

•Tobias is a rather suspicious person. His secretiveness, in conjunction with his overt friendliness, can make him difficult to trust.

•Certain magical wards seem to frighten him. He will refuse to enter some warded areas, and will leave if an area is about to become warded.

•His headaches can become near-debilitating if he gets overstimulated while they occur. Extremely strenuous physical activity or overexertion of his magic will cause this to happen.

He has no idea who his birth father is, as his mother never told him.
