[CHAR] Tales of Amarist: Young Heroes

[XMEGAVENOMX]

Name: Phillip Jericho

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Appearance: Phillip is a young man of an athletic build standing at 6’2” and weighing approximately 200 pounds. His skin is clear of any blemishes and fairly pale as he has spent most of his life in the northern region of Arcatia which does not receive as much sunlight as other parts of Amarist. His short and wavy jet black hair has tints of silver streaks throughout that match his steel grey eyes in color.
As a student at Magus Academy Phillip’s attire almost entirely consists of variations of the Academy’s uniform for male students of his age group. The outfits are made up of a simple, long-sleeved white undershirt and long-sleeved button up jacket with silver trim primarily featured along the lines of the buttons and button holes as well as around the forearms. The collar of the jacket is embroidered with a golden fabric that features designs of different elements of Magus Academy. Gloves are not a mandatory part of the uniform but Phillip chooses to wear a special pair of black leather gloves that marry well with his particular magic abilities. Phillip’s pants are simple and black with a green belt at the waist and he also wears a pair of black leather boots that have similar patterns of silver trim as his jacket.



Personality: Phillip is a soft spoken young man who prefers to let his actions do the talking. He is not introverted by any means and does have a wide circle of friends with a few very close comrades who are constantly playing practical jokes on each other. He is a smart young man and manages to stay on top of his grades despite the tremendous focus he places on honing his Gun Magic. While he is not working on his magical skills, Phillip enjoys reading historical books and spending time with his friends around campus and out in Eve City. He is a budding leader but perhaps his biggest weakness when it comes to team work is cracking under pressure just because he tends to overthink things instead of letting his natural talent take over. He shares a very close bond with his parents and they are all constantly writing letters to each other when they are apart. Phillip values honor and friendship above all else and always does his best to fulfill any promises he makes no matter how small or insignificant they may seem.

Abilities/Weapons of Choice: Phillips specializes in an uncommon type of magic called Gun Magic. As the name implies, a user of this type of magic channels their mana into special techniques utilizing the various firearms of Amarist along with special types of Mana Drives. The particular weapons of choice for Phillip are two unique pistols named Dusk & Dawn and a rifle named Twilight.

• Dusk & Dawn – These special pistols are Phillips primary weapons. They are a similar design to other well-fashioned pistols however these two in particular feature intricate silver designs that run the length of the weapons as well as beautiful gold inlay on the top near the Mana Drive chamber and around the hammer. What truly makes these guns special is that they have been magically attuned to Phillip’s mana which means that only he can use them and he is able to channel his own mana through his special gloves into the Mana Drive of his guns. This essentially means that Dusk & Dawn never run out of ammunition in theory but in reality they can fire as many shots as Phillip has mana and each shot is a small drain on his body’s mana supply. The Mana Drive chamber on Dusk & Dawn are designed to hold two Mana Drives each: one standard Drive that is charged through Phillip’s mana & the extra slot is used for special Drives with various properties.



• Twilight – Twilight is technically Phillip’s secondary weapon but is his preferred weapon for long ranged attacks from a hidden vantage point. It is a long rifle that he keeps over his back. The weapon has a true shoulder stock to provide for greater accuracy; the stock is decorated with silver and gold inlay that intertwines down the length of the wooden portions of the rifle. Along the silver steel barrel are seven golden rings. This weapon does not allow for Phillip to channel his own mana into the gun due to the sheer power of the shots and the mana required for each; after only a few shots from this rifle Phillip would have used up nearly half of his own mana. Instead Twilight was crafted with an extra-large Drive chamber to fit powerful Drives that can deliver particularly powerful shots.



• Gun Magic – This field of magic deals with channeling mana into different Mana Drives for various shots that mimic traditional spells as well as training the eyes for extreme accuracy. The types of shots Phillip uses include but are not limited to inferno shot, frost shot, homing shot, volt shot, & buster shot. In order to use these special shots Phillip will insert the Drive of his choice into the extra slot in the Drive chamber. Because Dusk & Dawn are specifically attuned to Phillip’s own Gun Magic, he possesses the ability to telekinetically control his pistols. However because he is not physically touching them while doing this, the Mana Drives are using up their own supply of mana and thus can run out of ammo and must be charged again through physical contact before firing again.

Bio: Phillip’s family history is quite interesting. His father Elliot comes from quite humble beginnings in Jutesbere and is an enthusiastic archaeologist and historian who dedicated his life to exploring ancient ruins and discovering valuable artifacts not for fame or fortune but for the thrill of the find and to further humankind’s knowledge of their past. On the other hand, Phillip’s mother Patricia comes from an extremely wealthy family from Summershore. Her father, Sir Gylbard is a high ranking political figure in the New Eden government which is where most of the family’s wealth comes from. Elliot and Patricia met in Eve City on unrelated business as young adults and Patricia was captivated by Elliot’s goofy personality and genuine enthusiasm for history. Patricia’s father however did not approve of their relationship due to the difference in status of the two but saw that Elliot was a good man and that his daughter truly loved him. However Sir Gylbard only agreed to approve of the wedding on one condition, and that would be that he would be the one to decide where his grandchildren would receive their education. Thus when Phillip was born and soon after it became obvious he was gifted with magical abilities, Sir Gylbard elected to send Phillip to Magus Academy in Eve City when he was eligible at the age of 10. There Phillip has spent the past eleven years studying magic, history, writing, politics, and other fields; he has been particularly dedicated to honing his Gun Magic and studying history just like his father. While Phillip does not live with his parents as they spend most of their time exploring the ruins in Arcatia, he does get to see them several times a year as Phillip’s connection with the Magus Academy has made Elliot a valuable contributor to the Academy’s archaeology department. On his twentieth birthday Phillip was gifted the weapons he now uses, Dusk/Dawn and Twilight by his grandfather. He is set to graduate from Magus Academy this coming year.

Albert Archibald

Personal Information
Full Name: Albert (Al) Archibald

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Appearance: Al is a young man standing at 5’ 11” with an athletic build and weighing in at around 180 lbs. He has short black hair, vibrant aquamarine colored eyes, deep and glistening like jewels, and an olive toned complexion clear of blemishes and having a well kept look altogether. More often than not, Al can be found in his school uniform, though when he is not wearing that he can often be found in rather formal outfits. On the dressier side, he wears a white button down shirt under a scarlet vest and a matching long, red jacket as well as black pants and boots. On the more casual side, he wears a red turtleneck, black shorts, and and boots as well, still keeping a rather formal appearance even when trying to relax.



m.imgur.com/oA2UKlu?r (This link gives a better look at his outfit. It's also the best picture I coukd find of what I wanted, but I may change it if I find something better.)

Brief Personality: Al is a perceptive, serious, resourceful, and very competitive person. He prides himself in hus whit and tactfulness. Though he gives off the impression of being prim and proper at first glance, he is, in actuality, notably loud, shrewd, stingy and bossy. Al is very confident in himself as well as his skills as a mage, so he often finds no trouble in speaking his mind and letting you know what is on his mind. That being said, he usually means well for those he cares about, not necessarily changing his behavior for others but doing whatever he can to help someone in need. His manner of speech is often hostile and dismissive of other people, often getting carried away with himself. It only takes a simple mistake to knock him back off his high horse, though.

Weapon(s)/Abilities:
Jewels - Al carries a large, scarlet cloth pouch, an i signia of an owl embroidered into thw cloth with silver stitching. In this pouch is where Al kreps many types of jewels in which he uses to cast spells. Each jewel is capable of using different types of spells based on how they were infused with mana.

Jewel Magecraft - The Archibald family's magical strength is not necessarily in their mana, but rather how they use is. In jewel magecraft, the mage imbues jewels and gems with certain types of mana. Once this is done, the mage can then use small amounts of their own mana in order to trigger the mana within the gem, causing a chain reaction in order to use minimal mana and still cast multiple spells at a time. This said, this only prolongs the battle for so long. In Al's case, though he is tactful and intelligent, he is still a novice and can only handle casting so many spells at a time. This also limits him to the amount of jewels he is carrying with him. Simple spells often only require one or two jewels, where as stronger spells require four or five, so once he is out of jewels, he is out of luck.
All this being said, Al is still rather talented, able to use most types of elemental magic, though strongest using fire, earth, and dark magic. He is trained well for both close combat and ranged fighting, though can only hold his own at a distance, often keeping himself too ooen for attack when in close range. Also, he is a very skilled tactician, relying more on traps and skillful executions rather than full on assaults. He uses very simple spells in unison in order to skillful outwit his enemies.

Spells

Spells:
Ifrit Schuss - Fire projectiles that seek out and strike a target, can also be used to cast fiery bursts or explosions. (Simple)
Odin Schild - A weak crystalline barrier capable of momentarily fending off attacks (works better on magical attacks, easily shattered by physical attacks). (Simple)
Verbeugung - A strong gravitational pull that lasts momentarily to hold a target in place. (Simple)
Brynhildr Gnade - A blinding burst of light that renders those in the area momentarily blind (essentially a flashbomb). Can also be used to unravel illusionary spells or dark magic. (Simple)
Wise Krieger - Owl-like familiars made of jewels that act on their own and follow Al’s commands, similar to a golem, requires constant use of personal mana to maintain form and control, even after created. (Strong)
Kristall Krieger - Summons crystalline armor around Al’s arms and legs, stronger than steel and usually used as a last resort. Typically used for close combat. (Strong)
*More spells to come, though these are the only spells Albert will know at first.*

History: Albert comes from a prestigious family of mages, brought up as the successor to his family's magecraft, and was instructed by his father, Samuel Archibald, to prioritize magecraft over his own interests. His family was run by strict tradition, his mother, Tabetha, being married into the family by arrangement. Due to unexpected and unfortunate events, his father was betrayed and killed while he was still young, and his mother dying of illness several years afterward. Because of this, he was left alone in his studies and watched after by his uncle, who would assure him that sometimes the path to becoming a great mage required sacrifices. Although Al resents the sacrifices he has endured for the sake of tradition, he is fiercely competitive and eager to prove himself as a skilled and capable mage. This dream is bittersweet, though, for to him, we're he to accept such a date, he would have to assume the same role as his father before him; marrying for power as oppressed to love and merely carrying on the family name and magecraft.

Ambrosia Eon Tapia

Name: Ambrosia Eon Tapia

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Race: Elf

Appearance: Ambrosia has a look that is easy to spot in a crowd. She is a short girl standing at 5’4 and weighs in at 112 lbs. Her hair is extremely long and has naturally large spring curls draped in the twisted golden locks. It is often put up into two high ponytails with her bangs laying on out and on face, curving in toward her neck. This is often paired with large bows or charms that are placed on her head. The attire she wears is mostly consistent of soft pastel dresses with lace, frills and cute looking accents. These range from long dresses, to-the more common ones she wears- the short cupcake like dresses. When she wears the short dresses she often pairs long, thigh-high socks, usually the colour white with a coloured frill or bow on them, and white slip on shoes with them. Her eyes are a clouded blue, with dark bags on her porcelain pale skin. Though she is often always smiling, her eyes never show that emotion being empty and void of all feeling.



Personality: Ambrosia is a very happy go lucky girl, she greets everyone with a huge smile and a hug if allowed. She has no meaning of personal space as she is extremely clingy towards those she considers to be her friends, but at least knows when enough is enough. Her emotions are easy to read as she is very expressive with them on her face. Being around Ambrosia is something of a roller coaster, flipping from extreme happiness to being moody and pouting back to happy once more. This often times makes her a bit hard to talk to as she is very naive in general and takes things a bit too literal or personal. Even so she quickly gets over them just as quickly and peps right back up. Her voice is very soft to match that very fluffy personality. But beneath her fluffy, happy, exterior lays a very dark and twisted person who gets extremely violent when her ‘person’ is in harm's way. She becomes absolutely void of her happy personality, becoming just as empty as those bleak blue eyes. When in this state, her magic becomes much more deadly, going out of her way to hurt anyone she feels deserves her divine punishment for putting whom she has attached to in danger. Her actions become rash, unaware of everything, like her common decency was thrown out of the window and she goes into a rampage unconcerned with any other people who may be caught her crossfire. The only way to calm her is either she feels the threat has been eliminated or the person she lost control over tells her to stop. She has full control and memory of these episodes, only apologizing to people who accidentally got in her way. This violent personality switch must be triggered, otherwise she is very outgoing and happy.

Abilities/Weapons of Choice:

Candy Magic

Candy Magic- This is the primary form of magic Ambrosia uses. It is a type of summoners magic. It requires a staff to be used to trigger the magic in the air to condense and form into what she needs. Most of the spells and the style of fighting for this magic is a lot of long ranged combat and support. She has a moderate control of this magic, knowing mostly basic spells and seeks to improve on them and learn the many other spells that can be known in this form of magic.

Spells:

Rock-Candy Shards: This is a long ranged attack, using the staff, it hardens the earth's natural energy into spikes that spring from the ground that are usually red crystallized shards but can vary to be weak, pink ones depending on the amount of energy in that particular area. The darker the colour the stronger they are, and the lighter the more brittle and less fatal they are. Though she is only able to extend the shards so far, the farther they go the less power and durable they are.

Bubble Gum Shield: This is as it states. By swinging her staff in front of her, she is able to form a bouncy, pink shield. This can absorb both physical and magical attacks and, 50% of the time, reflect any projectiles back to the person. Though they are much weaker than when they are sent. The shield can be small enough to cover her or others and even float to cover another person. It is not indestructible though, just as gum it can deflate and become weak the more it is hit. Once broken, it will form piles of gummy globs on the ground. It takes time between each use to recharge.

Sugar Powder: A special magic, she dispels a powdery dust on a singular opponent to make them hallucinate for a short period of time. This takes a large amount of energy to build up and concentration to keep the hallucination up. Ambrosia is unable to keep the image up longer than a few minutes and she can only use it standing still. The person must get the powder in their system and she is to have them stare into her staff, making her wide open for attacks.

Jawbreaker Shot: A projectile magic. It uses the Magic-Waste in the air, pressing it into pellets and are shot from the head of the staff in a rapid fire. It has a small down time between each succession of shots. The more time they are spent being condensed the larger and faster the shots are. There are always 5 shots to be had with her experience level but can get up to 20 at a time.

Cotton-Candy Veil: A healing magic that is disguised at a Candy Magic but is a Blood Magic spell. The wound is covered with a soft pink fluff, when Ambrosia sets her hand on the wound, she forces her own blood to draw and manipulate her own mana on the wound causing it to be healed. Though it only works on minor wounds where blood must be drawn.

Staff: Ambrosia’s staff is a medium staff a pink colour with a yellow star and wings on either side. It can be used in slight hand to hand defensive combat. Using the mana flowing within the staff she can shrink it in size and make it much more convenient to carry around.

Blood Magic

Blood Magic- This is a secondary magic Ambrosia has, it is known as a forbidden magic. When she has her switch flipped, this magic becomes her go-to magic. The mana running through her body is entwined with her blood, giving her complete control of the motion and workings of it. Though it comes with major draw backs, as she has to first harm herself to initiate it and use a large amount of inner mana to control it. Though this magic comes much more naturally to her as it is all internal, it is one she cannot use so freely as it is a darker magic. She is unable to use more than 2 spells at a time and even then she tends to focus on one at a time to quickly shift between them.

Iron Defense: Through manipulation, Ambrosia is able to harden parts of her blood inside her body to make her skin as strong as steel. Though she can only do this one spot at a time making the side of her body that is not hardened very susceptible to attacks.

Blood Blade: An incision is made on Ambrosia’s arm or palm and the blood streams out of the wound, forming a sharp blade that is used to cut foes down. Though if the blade were to break from the wound it would cause immense pain causing the blood of the sword to liquify.

Scarlet Stream: This is a risky move to pull off for Ambrosia (though that does not stop her.) A large, open, gash must be made on her back and one large or four smaller tentacles made up of her blood are expelled. They linger and serve as either bashing weapons, forming large rounded off worm like masses. Blade weapons, giving quick jabs and forming sharp tips. Or distance, expelling shards of scarlet blood out them. When using this spell, Ambrosia cannot move at all as her body only has enough blood in it to keep her functioning properly. This leaves her vulnerable to most attacks if she is not focused on her surroundings.

Ruby Shards: This is a weaker projectile attack, Slits are made on her inner palms and she can shoot small, weak, dart like, projectile crystallized shards of her blood from them.

Stitched Wounds: All gashes made on her body can be stitched up through extreme manipulation of mana. This is the basis for Cotton-Candy Veil, but Ambrosia’s mana is forced into her skin from her blood and closes wounds manually. This requires a lot of concentration to send the mana through her body like that so she cannot do it as quickly as other blood magic users.

Sap Sipper: This ability is used when her blood is in direct contact with the other persons. If her blood blade is lodged into a person she can sap the mana that is running through their blood. But she must be in constant contact with the person for this to work and therefore is not used often.

Mana Manipulation: If she is able to get close enough to her foe, Ambrosia will bite down or slice a person and drink their blood. This gives her small amounts of control over their mana use making their accuracy much worse than normal. The more blood she ingests the more control she will have. Though the control is only throwing off their balance of mana in their body.

Ambrosia relies heavily on magic to defend her so it depletes her energy very quickly. Her hand to hand combat is weak and her magic leaves her open to close range attacks. When she has an episode is the only time she can withstand physical attacks as she can harden the blood in her system to soften any blows. Though using both the Candy Magic and the Blood Magic at the same time is extremely difficult and as of right now can only use them together to use for the Cotton-Candy Veil. Using them both during combat is near impossible for Ambrosia currently, as they both require a large amount of concentration to use and take up a lot of mana usage.

Bio: Born to a small family in Falconmont, Ambrosia was an only child to 2 young elves. Her mother specializes in Candy Magic and her father only had relatives who were blessed with magic as he was not. She started out a normal child, as a baby she was very blessed and into her younger life she was always very smart, learning quickly about her own magic. That was until she turned 6 years old, and the first incident occurred while she was at school.

She had a massive break when someone had knocked over her childhood best friend. This was when it came to light, her blood magic. She inherited this from her father’s side of the family as his family was cursed with the forbidden magic for unknown reasons. After this was awakened, her once bright eyes drained of life, becoming mere voids. They tried to live the rest of their time in the city, but others persecuted and alienated them to the point the Tapia family had to leave their home in Falconmont and move to Lightwyn.

She was once again a normal, happy child. Finding her way to developing her magic, guided by her mother. And to, in secret, control the Blood Magic. She began going to another school in the city. Once again, the same loss of control happened once more at the age of 11, causing her to injury many classmates. It was over the same issue, a very close friend had been hurt in some way and Ambrosia became enraged. She claimed that this person was no one else's but hers. She formed close bonds and attachments to the people she felt she was defending. As if stuck on repeat, her family left the city to end up in Kingsport.

There, her control of her magic was much more honed. Ambrosia became much tamer and sweet, creating herself into the pastel princess. Her violent outbursts became much less frequent and her Blood Magic became something she had nearly under control there. Only one incident happened over a specific person in the city, but it was quickly swept under the carpet. This did not stop the people around her to treat her differently, including the person she was protecting. This caused this person to drift apart from her and finally, leave Ambrosia just as everyone else did. Although this never deterred Ambrosia, she did try to keep herself distant from others. The overwhelming protective nature she felt for just one person was eating her alive, unable to contain herself she decided to move to Eve City.

Another clean slate, determined to keep one person safe regardless of their relationship was her mind set. Do this all while she keeps her Blood Magic on the downlow even if she has little care for it being a forbidden magic, but more so that she does not have to start over again. Now living in Eve City, she is in Magus Academy, keeping her distance from most people in search of that one friend she will hold dear.

Other: She carries a white pink bunny with her and considers it to be the only other thing she will lose her temper over. She claims she is it’s true protector and it will never come to be harmed. Though mostly it is comical, her care for the bunny is true as it is the only thing that she has had since her first outburst. It’s name is Lilith.

[Opposition]

Alyn Divina

Name: Alyn Divina

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Race: Elf

Appearance: Alyn is rather young in appearance, standing at a short 5’2” and appearing a slightly underweight 105 lbs. Having a lean and lithe frame, Alyn appears very physically weak. Her skin appears slightly more pale and fair than normal. Falling over her icy blue eyes is her short length hair that falls just above her shoulders. Alyn is almost never seen without her cloak. Falling all the way down to her legs from its baggy hood in the back with an open front, it is a royal blue color from bottom to top, slowly darkening as it reaches its end. Underneath her cloak, she wears a simple blue dress of a very similar color that ends just above her knees. Her feet are usually occupied by a simple pair of slippers of a matching color to her cloak. From midway up her palm all the way to her upper forearm, there is a large scar. Upon Alyn’s visage, a look best described by the word ‘neutrality’ comes to mind. She always appears rather absent of outgoing emotions, though this emptiness can often give off a feeling of grim sadness. There is an almost absent look upon her face when she looks at others, as her vision is extremely impaired.



Personality: Alyn is very reserved and tactful in her speech, giving off a rather shy, solemn, and soft spoken vibe to those who encounter her. Of course, it is rare to have an encounter with an individual with these slightly introverted tendencies. Alyn often tries to avoid getting close or even interacting with others if she can avoid it. She views such trivial interactions as pointless and destined for betrayal. This makes Alyn very much a loner. This doesn’t come without its rumors of course, but Alyn seems to care very little about what others think of her. Once you get to know her, Alyn has a very childlike and sheltered outlook on things despite her negative past. She seems to perceive even the worst types of magic and violence to be normal even though they may frighten others.

Abilities/Weapons of Choice:

Necromancy:

Binding Ritual: Alyn has recently learned the family secret of binding creatures. Her skill in this type of spell is very weak and can be used very sparsely, especially because of the ample amount of time the rituals consume. At the start, Alyn may only able to bind small imps and lesser magical creatures, allowing her access to the most basic evocation spells that will allow her to appear like a normal mage. Once the creature is binded, Alyn offers the creature its freedom for the use of its magic for a short time.This ritual requires a large amount of mana and Alyn often needs some sort of Mana Drive to keep the ritual magic up for more than one of the bound creature’s spells.

Summon Servant: This is one of Alyn’s most basic necromancy spells. Using ritualistic magic, Alyn can expend mana to bring forth an incorporeal spirit that can physically interact with objects around her despite being shapeless and massless. This spirit has no will of its own and instead becomes a simple extension of Alyn’s consciousness, but has no ability to attack others. Instead, it is used to carry and manipulate the area around Alyn. It requires a constant input of mana, but the input is minor and depends on how much work the force is doing. This spell is often used under the guise of a telekinesis spell.

Fangs of the Vampire King: Alyn, through her family’s great necromantic prowess, has gained an affinity for the undead. Though she, herself is not an undead entity, through great practice, she has learned to summon aspects of some of the world’s most infamous undead creatures. By channeling her mana, Alyn is able to augment her teeth with conjured vampiric fangs. These elongated fangs become hard enough to sunder steel with enough force. The fangs are mainly used as a melee weapon since Alyn carries no source of defense and relies entirely on her magic. If the fangs happen to draw blood, Alyn can use the magic in the fangs to convert the blood into miniscule amounts of mana which helps her maintain the fangs longer or power other spells.

Commune: This is one of the most simple necromantic spells that the Divina family learns. Although its use is very limited this spell is almost innate to those with the Divina family curse. Expending mana over time, Alyn can use this spell to hear the voices of the dead. It is the first spell taught to every one of the Divina family necromancers even though none of the family members seem to have found a use for it. It requires very little mana as the spells use is so narrow.

Other Spells:

Clairvoyance: This is Alyn’s most common spell. Due to her very weak vision, whenever she needs to see well or focus, she casts Clairvoyance to give herself a perfect vision of everything in a small radius around her. This supernatural vision requires more mana to have a larger range or for a longer duration. Alyn often keeps a short range Clairvoyance up for long periods of time so she can see.

Ghost Step: Channeling the energy of incorporeal beasts through her body, Alyn is able to change her form to that of a ghost, allowing objects to pass through her. When going into her ghost form, all of Alyn’s belongings go along with her. Instead of being a physical being, Alyn becomes a white and shimmering image of herself. As she moves while in ghost form, Alyn expends quite a bit of mana so this spell is most effectively used while standing still and in short bursts.

Bio: Born the third and final child to a rather prominent, wealthy, and noble family in Lightwyn, particularly by the sea, Alyn has had a rather sheltered life, but that hasn’t stopped her from witnessing the great evils that magic can bring along with its wonderful deeds. The Divina family had a list of dark secrets kept hidden to keep numerous illegal and forbidden magical traditions out of public eyes. Be it working with demons or working with the dead, there was a rumor that involved the Divina family.

Tracing back to Alyn’s great grandfather who is rumored to still be kept alive via necromantic magic to this day, the evil secrets of the Divina family are much more than rumors. Alyn’s great grandfather, in a move for power, took up the art of binding magic. He contracted a demon in exchange for the life of one of his family members to give his bloodline powerful magic. The demon then bestowed what most considered a curse upon the Divina family. The demon crippled their abilities to battle with normal arcane arts and replaced this potential magical energy with prowess for Necromancy.

Ever since this curse, the family has become learned in their evil art, becoming a detriment to others to give themselves power. This leads all the way down to Alyn’s birth, where the ritualistic necromancy and binding magics were granted to her. This didn’t save her from the evil that the magic brought, though. When she was young and her older brother learned to bind, he sacrificed a great amount of Alyn’s blood. This left her physically weaker than she should have been and with a great scar upon her arm.

Of course, the Divina family still had the ability to take up practice of magic other than the dark arts, but it was not as strong as it could have been. Alyn, soon realizing the disdain outsiders held towards the ways of her family took up this practice, keeping her necromancy spells and binding spells to a minimum. This was a little secret that she held from her family. A young child’s defiance can only remain hidden for so long, though. Alyn was soon found out, and she became known as the rebel of the family. Believing it was a simple phase or that she would come around, Alyn wasn’t paid any heed.

This, of course, was not to Alyn’s liking. When she reached the age of 15, and was finally old enough to seek out an academy, she decided that she needed to become something other than another menace of the Divina family, but her magic wasn’t the strongest. Her heart was set on Magus Academy, but her magical prowess had destined her for something completely different. She had to do something drastic.

With the assistance of her father, Alyn made an attempt to bind a weaker demon that would allow her to appear outwardly better at magic than she was, but her plan didn’t go so perfectly. Her father, in an attempt to help her learn to become a better binder, didn’t fully take control of the demon, allowing Alyn to deal with him directly. In the end, the creature was able to escape his binding and granted Alyn her wish only if she gave something up. Stuck between a rock and a hard place, Alyn agreed, allowing the demon to take away most of her ability to see, leaving her vision impaired, but luckily, she still had some sight.

After the struggles, the demon was compelled by her father to channel its magic through Alyn so she outwardly appeared like a strong mage. This allowed her to make it into Magus Academy and finally flee her family. Her first year was a great struggle, as Alyn was greatly incapable of most offensive spells. She had to resort to binding lesser imps and very weak fiends and creatures to even allow her to cast simple spells that evoked elements. Slowly and slowly, Alyn descended into more and more of a Dark Artist.

Other: Despite Alyn’s ‘loner’ attitude, there is one thing that keeps her company. The one thing Alyn calls friend is her pet. In her company is a simple crow that she calls Beltran accompanies to every one of her classes at the academy.
