[Happy Go Lucky]

Denzel Harrowing

Name:
Denzel Harrowing

Gender:
Male

Age:
21

Nationality:
Talos

Appearance:


Standing at a height of 6 feet, Denzel as shown is to be of an average build, not muscular at all, and fairly flimsy, not having spent much time building up strength, and more on his books. He possesses a little scaring along his body from old wounds. Possesses a magic birthmark on the palm of his left hand.

Bio:

Denzel came from a hermits village, away from the eyes of the world within the depths of Talos' forests, away from a majorty of civilization. Those in the village all were capable of learning light magic, and studied it to protect the world if they desired it so by heading out of their village. They spent their days learning their holy craft for the day that Armageddon would come, in the hopes their healing prowess would be able to save those caught in the worlds supposed final hours, so as they could help the world fight back and save it. For generations they trained healers, and when they came to their adult years, they would be given a choice to go out and help heal the world, or stay to train the next generation, Denzel desired to stay.

Of course, the world is filled with malevolent beings and beasts, which sought to destroy them. Beasts, leading their servants effortlessly destroyed the village, and consumed its people, children, woman and man alike. Denzel lost his village entirely, and without any choice, was forced to flea into an unfamilair world at the age of fifteen, while being hunted by the beasts that hunted him down.

Denzel eventually made it to the Capital city of Talos, Harazan, and sought shelter among the homeless denizens of the city. That's when the people first witnessed his gift for healing, when he took the dying child of a baby suffering from sickness into his hands, and healed the child to full health. He had expected they would be thankful, and they were, a little too much, hailed as a savior, Denzel was quite literally backed into a corner, people grovelling before his feet, desperate to be healed of their afflictions. What could Denzel do? He could not refuse, even though his heart was torn to shreds from losing his loved ones, he put selfishness being him and lived with his new family, healing everyone who desired it for not even a coin or a piece of bread, he did it out of his own good nature. When words of a selfless healing head through the city streets, it was only natural that his abilities would be sought by the order.

When they arrived to great him, it having been a year since he had been the cities selfless healer, he was thin, frail but happy, weak, Denzel cured as many as he could everyday, suffering severe scaring to his body, and eventually collapsing into unconsciousness, only to reawaken and heal once more, his own concern was not important to him, the people were, and they needed him. The order sought to recruit him, though at first he refused, insisting that the people needed him here, but the order would eventually persuade him otherwise, upon mentioning of his destroyed village, and that they eliminate beasts such as those. And that if he wanted to help the world at large, he would join the order, to help the many men and women under their banner to keep in the fight. They also made mention of his frail state, insisting that they would take care and help him recover. Denzel wasn't in any state to disagree, and collapsed meekly into one of their arms, carried off, Denzel was successfully recruited.

For the past five years, Denzel has recovered a lot of his strength since back then, and has been a crucial member of the order. Using his powers to heal those injured by the beasts, Denzel has came up to the front lines time and time again to keep his allies alive and in the fight. He eventually got use to the bloodshed around him, though still resented it, he kept a cheer demeanor for others around him, and wakes up yet again to pledge his magic to the needs of others.

Fighting Style:

"Fighting style? I think you might have the wrong idea... i'm not so much of a fighter... Never swung a sword in my life... To be honest, the thought frightens me..."

Denzel isn't talented in fighting, only able to use magic, and is actually afraid to physically hit other creatures, though will defend himself as best as he can if given no other choice. He has no skill in fighting and will swing or flail his staff to smack away any dangers if they try to attack him... not very effective!

Equipment:

Oil Lantern w/Staff: A staff he's kept for most of his life, to help him walk over long tiring distances, a tool used to support his weight. Aside from this, the staff is fitted with an oil lantern, which can be used to light the way in the dark and reveal the land before him when his eyes could not, more reliable than he ever thought it would be when venturing off alone.

Backpack:

A simple heavy backpack filled with a plethora of supplies. Flint and tinder, food supplies, waterskins, a journal, some ink, a rope and hook for climbing, among other things such as herbs and plants for cooking, so much that it's surprising that the backpack isn't bursting at the seams!

Skills/Abilities:

LEVEL 4 - MAGI: Light Magic

Being a Magi in light magic, Denzel has the ability to manipulate holy energies and bright light to help heal and protect his companions.

Lay Hands: Denzel's ability to slowly but surely help heal a mans wounds and remove their ailments, he is able to heal the sick, cure bloody infections and help bring a soldier to full strength if even the time, though this drains his energy quite a bit if done for long periods of time. His power to heal can also help remove poisons.

Light Barrier: Concentrating his energy, Denzel can surround his allies in a barrier which helps to protect his allies, protecting them from blows and giving them a chance to recuperate. The barrier won't last forever and can eventually be broken, and so cannot be taken advantage of.

Signal the way: Casting a small orb outward, this light can help guide the way with an aura of light with illumination. The ball can grow in size depending on how much energy Denzel exerts or can be multiplied into various small orbs to cover a wider radius, or be used as a distraction to lure an enemy away.

Holy aura: Using his light magic, Denzel can unleash a holy aura around himself and his allies, damaging monsters and those of ill intent around them while healing and recuperating ally stamina in the process, while slower than his Lay Hands, it can affect his allies in a wide area, for a regenerative effect.

((And other ideas I could do? Give me some ideas XD ))

Gentle charisma:

Denzel's gentle personality can be described as therapeutic, allowing him to calm down angry or rowdy individuals and see to it that conversations end on a peaceful calming note. He knows how to deal with angry folk, and how to deviate their anger away, while also having a talent for bringing people together when needed.

Cooking:

While Denzel isn't much of a fighter, he knows how to cook a mean meal! If given the right ingredients, the boy is quite capable of feeding his companions with a warm meal in their stomachs, which would help to boost moral and the strength of his companions. His ability to use healing magics isn't too bad either when using them on the food he makes! Allowing his food to possess a healing property to regenerate wounds faster!

Strictly healing will be a bit difficult, you might get a little bored just healing but I'll take a look at it if you make the character

[Happy Go Lucky]

@Arthanus

thank you! Please, if he's underpowered or overpowered or if there's something i've missed please tell me! I'd love to hear your thoughts on how to make him better. thanks!

[Arthanus]

Finally got my lunch break and got to check up on the details and such. The only thing that I see as missing would be the magic birthmark somewhere on his body (basically the thing that lets him channel magic) add that in and I'll call it good.

Also although I want at minimum 5 before we get fully started I'll set up our starting scene tonight so maybe people can interact with eachother and have some sort of idea what is going on.
