I'm debating whether to abuse my GM power or not and make my light dragon slayer char anyway...
Maybe some Edolas shenanigans? Cloning? Parallel dimensions? Laxus-y lacrima stuff?

Personal Information
Personality::
Something of a loner, Joshua prefers to keep to himself go about his business without the interference of others. This is sometimes helped by his blunt and honest nature, causing him to speak his mind in almost any situation that doesn't require discretion.. When he does have a conversation with someone, he tends to be easy going and able to joke easily when relaxed but serious, to the point, and sometimes outright scathing in serious situations. He does have an air of mystery about him, as he refuses to talk about his past, especially this childhood, with only the brand on the back of his right hand serving as any sort of hint.
Joshua's loyalty to his guilds and those he works with is rather high. He values their safety over his own and is willing to risk serious injury to make sure they are safe from harm. This mentality also extends to innocent bystanders, as he sees no reason for them to come to harm for something they are not a part of. This behavior borders on suicidal, as Joshua seems to have no concern for his own safety when protecting others from harm.
When it comes to life, Joshua seems to hold it in high regard, especially human life. He has never taken a single life on any of his jobs, even when under extreme stress. To him, killing is an absolute extreme last resort, that should only be used if all other options have been exhausted. The only other scenario he would consider murder an option is if it involved someone he was very close to was in danger, at which point, he has no interest in holding back.
History::
Joshua was born in the far north, a land of ice and cold where many rely on strength of arm to get by. The son of a local chieftain, Joshua received training on how to use a sword almost from the moment he could walk. His instructors included his father and his older twin siblings Tyr and Sol Jormungrand. Joshua quickly proved his talent in the art of combat, quickly picking up and mastering the style of his brethren.
When Joshua was seven, he took part in a tournament that was village tradition, pitting children from the village against each other in mock battles using a wooden replica of the weapon of their choice. Joshua had been looking forward to this event and expected to win rather easily thanks to his training and natural talent. Things went exactly that way until the final round, when he went against his best friend and primary sparring partner in the village. Still believing the win would come easily to him, Joshua was both shocked in frustrated when his friend put up a better fight then he was expecting. The match lasted a solid hour before Joshua's temper finally broke and, without knowing how, he summoned a real sword to his hand and struck down his friend in a fit of rage.
It did not take long for Joshua to be apprehended by the spectators and he was quickly thrown in a cell. Joshua himself didn't resist, as the shock of what he just did set in. Within the hour, he was brought before the village and sentenced with exile for murder and the ability to use magic, which was considered a bad omen among his people and worthy of exile alone. After having a murder's brand put on the back of his right hand and given only enough supplies to last a day or two before being pushed into the wild to fend for himself.
Resigned to what was essentially a death sentence, Joshua set out and would've met his end had it not been for a stroke of luck. A week into his exile, the young boy was found by a traveling caravan of merchants, starving and on the verge of being frozen to death. Despite not knowing a thing about the boy other then his crime of murder due to the brand on the back of his hand, the merchants took him in and nursed the boy back to health. Knowing they couldn't leave the boy in the frozen wilds, they decided to take him with them to their next stop. During their time together, Joshua slowly became friends with the merchants, quickly picking up on anything they had to teach him, especially the language of the land they were heading to. While they traveled, Joshua also tried to continue his sword training, only to find himself unable to do so, having flashbacks to the moment he had killed his friend and was unable to even hold a training sword as a result. The brand on his sword hand only made the matter worse, being just another reminder of the mistake that had cost him everything.
When the caravan eventually arrived at their destination, Joshua said his good-byes, knowing they didn't plan on taking him any further and headed out after taking a few meager supplies. Surviving in this land was much easier due to the kinder, more temperate climate and Joshua found living in the wild to be a rather peaceful way pass the days. He enjoyed being surrounded by nothing but wild plants and animals and while the dangers involved where many, he persevered and managed to get along with little effort.
After several months of wilderness trekking, Joshua came across a town and, curious of what it might have, he headed for it. When he arrived, he saw everyone gathered in the middle of town, cheering and celebrating for some event he could not see past the crowd. Moving through them, he came across a sight he hadn't expected to see in the form of a fighting tournament. Drawn in by the sight before him, Joshua watched as the participants fought each other in either unarmed or armed combat. The contestants that fascinated him the most were the swordsmen, who fought in a way that was so different from how he was taught. The whole day flew by before he realized it and Joshua, wanting to learn these new sword styles, decided to track down a master to teach him.
The next day, Joshua headed back into town and began asking around about the various styles he had seen during that day. He learned most of the fighters had been from other villages and had already left. There was one school in the village so, with no other option, Joshua headed over and paid the school a visit. He arrived in time for the morning classes and was allowed to watch and was even given a chance to spar one of the students. Joshua, eager for a challenge, accepted without taking into account his current condition. Before the match even began, just holding the practice sword brought the memories to the forefront and he found himself on the ground within seconds after the match began. Infuriated, Joshua tried to fight the student several more times but each attempt resulted in the same result of Joshua being unable to even move as his memories froze him in place.
Eventually, Joshua gave up and went back to just watching and observing for the day before returning to the wilds at night. The next week became a routine of Joshua heading down to the village to observe the classes while also trying, and failing, the beat the students in sparring matches. Eventually, on the seventh day, the Master of the dojo had Joshua stay behind while the other students left to talk to the young boy in private. The conversation lasted a while, with the Master asking about Joshua's past and his reasons for wanting to learn the way of the sword. While Joshua initially refused to talk about either of these things, he eventually gave in and admitted his past and his crime, expecting the Master to push him away as his clan had. To his surprise, the Master instead offered the take Joshua in as a student, seeing past what had happened to see it as the accident it was. He then surprised Joshua by using the same kind of magic Joshua had and explaining that it was called Requip and the concept behind the magic. He also understood Joshua's inability to wield a sword and told the boy he would help him overcome his trauma and train him on how to wield the blade without killing. Eager to gain back the ability to do the one thing he had left from his home land, Joshua agreed.
The next decade flew by for Joshua as he focused almost entirely on his training. To help with this, he moved into the dojo and helped maintain it, using even the most menial tasks as a method of training. While it still took time for time for his to be able to wield a sword without freezing in place, his teacher pushed him and Joshua was eventually able to fight normally with a wooden sword within his first year. By his third year he was able to wield a regular sword for training and by his sixth, use one for actual combat. During these years, Joshua learned not only from his Master's dojo but other dojos as well, picking up techniques at an almost frightening pace and applying them to make his own sword style, putting a heavy emphasis on speed in reflexes, which he honed to the point that some called them supernatural. To compliment this emphasis further, he focused primarily on his own dojo's form of swordsmanship, Iaido. Joshua also practiced his magic, coming to view it as an extension of himself rather then the curse he had come to believe it to be after he had killed his friend with it. Through consistent practice, he was able to dismiss and summon blades as quickly as he could draw a blade from it's sheathe, allowing him to dismiss a sword only to summon a new one and attack in one smooth motion.
As time passed, Joshua slowly grew tired of training. Wanting to atone for this mistake from over a decade ago, he wanted to go out and do something in the world that would allow him to help and protect others. To this end, he began researching and eventually found out about the Mage Guilds in the western countries. After further research, he came to the conclusion that these Guilds would be the best fir for him and approached his Master with his plans. To his surprise, his Master gave his consent, saying he had always known Joshua would set out on his own. As a parting gift, his Master gave Joshua four swords to take with him in order to protect himself and to better be called a 'mage'. Armed with both weapons and conviction, Joshua set off for the lands in the west.
Joshua arrived in Fiore a year ago and, after a bit of searching, ended up joining the Golem's Hand guild, as their beliefs lined up with his the most out of the guilds he visited. He quickly established himself as a driven individual but also a bit of a loner and became well known for his non-lethal approach for jobs that involved fighting other humans, we well as his skill with his blades. These days, he's looking forward to the Grand Magic games, hoping to compete and help his guild prove their dominance over Harpy's Wing.
Magic
Magic Name::
Primary: Requip: Swordsman
Description::
Requip
Known Spells::
Nanashi- A katana made of adamantine, it is Joshua's primary blade and he is rarely seen without it in his hands. The blade offers no magical abilities and is incredibly durable due to the metal it is made of.
Northern Wind- A blade that give's Joshua access to ice magic, allowing him to attack with ice projectiles, summon blasts of freezing wind, and summon walls of ice, among other possible feats. The blade of the sword is always ice cold, resulting in blood instantly freezing where it cuts and a small amount of mist to surround it at all times in normal to hot temperatures.
Akuma no Kiba (Demon Fang)- Joshua's fire blade, granting his access to fire magic, allowing him to shot fireballs, streams of flame, and summon pillars of fire among other feats. The edge of the blade is hotter then the rest of the blade, cauterizing any flesh it cuts and is capable of cutting metal after prolonged contact.
Kageoni (Shadow Demon)- A blade granting Joshua access to shadow magic, allowing him to manipulate his own shadow to attack or defend with it. The blade also has two forms, a standard blade and a chain blade, which it changes between form with a mental command from Joshua. He is less skilled with this blades chain form due to it's unusual style.

@Joshua Tamashii First, he doesn't know those secondaries you included. He is granted the use of those through the swords but they're not his magic to command without the swords. Erza is able to use fire when she uses her Flame Empress armor but that doesn't mean she knows fire magic.
Now, the thing that's bothering me is his history. It feels a bit contrived. He cuts down his friend during sparring match? His friend? The character just kind of suddenly has this over the top temper out of nowhere, trying to cut down people who aren't doing him any harm. And after this event he's still prideful? No remorse whatsoever? And I know later he's supposed to learn the value of life from his teacher but that should be something he already knows. Not only from killing his friend but also from his upbringing. Living in a harsh environment where surviving is your top priority already instills that kind of thing in you. Plus it's not like his tribe are ruthless people considering he was exiled because, again, he killed his friend. So, clearly the clan knows the value of life. Not to mention his near death experience. It just feels like your moving a game piece around the board, unaffected by the obstacles and events that happen along the way, but then he suddenly collects $200 when he reaches GO ie all of character development comes during his time with his teacher instead of being properly built through all of his experiences.
Here's a fix. First, I think instead of discovering his magic abilities before the sparring match with his friend, it's during and in the heat of his frustration he unconsciously summons a real blade and accidentally kills his friend. Make this the event that makes him value life above all else. With this he's banished not only because he killed his friend but also because of his use of magic which you had established was evil to them. It was weird that you made that a thing but it went nowhere. Then also from killing his friend, he starts to fear using a sword but still has a deep passion for it since it's his last connection to his clan outside of a mark of disgrace on his hand. Then, the caravan finds him and all that. This time, because the passion he still has for the sword, seeing the styles and whatnot, he wants to try picking up a sword again and enters. He loses, not just because the man is more skilled but because his fear has made his weaker as a swordsman. Seeing this the man then takes him on as his student and over the six years helps him overcome his fear of the sword as well as the use of magic and the rest is history.
Hope I didn't come off as too judgy and that this helps.

@Vongola_Hasayo Frankly speaking, I'd prefer an honest opinion over any other.
I put the secondary's as a precaution, since I was unsure how you would rule that, since he is using other magics.
As for his history... well, that's what I get for writing it at 2 in the morning after a hard day of work. But I do like your angle a bit better, so I'll get to work on it and let you know when I am done.

You can go ahead and do so.
If you see these in the manga:
Fire DS and Hellfire DS magic.
Sky DS and and Gale DS magic.
Just make your light different from my light. How it works etc. For example, Giselle is like Sting but perhaps your Light DS can run at light speeds etc.

I'm coming back from my hiatus on the 16th, so I'll be able to write up my other character.
I'm also getting a puppy on the 19th though, so I'll be kept a little busy by that but I'll be on holidays so it won't be too much of a hindrance to posting!

As for everyone else;
Good thing I already got my CS approved.
Though I will probably shoot the Co-GMs my unfinished CS for the other character I was considering using since you are busy @Vongola_Hasayo. This way I can get some input from them and not have to worry about bothering you. :P
Changed my second magic into the Lost Magic: Spirit Lord. Just putting it here for final judgement.

"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power."
Name: Lucas Reiklander
Nickname/Alias: Blade-dancer
Gender: Male
Age and date of birth: 19, 2th of june.
Guild: Golem's Hand
Rank: B-class
Personality: Lucas is an extremely serious guy who doesn't take kindly to anyone making the wrong jokes towards him. He's generally hell bend on achieving the upmost results. So obviously at the guild he's not the brightest sun in the room. However, this does not mean he looks down upon people. Quite the opposite. He wants to help everyone to become their better selves. Ask him to join you in some low-class task and he will surely accept. Loyalty towards the guild is important to him. It's also quite apparent. But everyone who knows him will tell you that his hunger for material wealth and power can sometimes get the better of him.
History: Born as the second child from a family of 3, Lucas' early life was fairly uneventful. He studied and helped his dad forge weapons and armor at the forge. His older brother clearly got the brains from his mother. While his younger brother had the brute strength for their father. Lucas himself was somewhere in between. Neither very strong nor extremely clever, but the shrewd combination of the both. One day, upon returning from the evening market Lucas choose to cut through the graveyard. A mistake that nearly cost him his life.
Within the graveyard lurked a creature of darkness. A reaper. The ethereal being fed on the essence of death. But long gone corpses barely even held any. But newly slain victims explode with the essence. Thus the creature attacked Lucas. His scythe nearly impaled the 14-year old boy. If not for his mother, who revealed she was in fact a mage, held the scythe back with one of her summoned blades. A fight erupted between the Reaper and his mother. Lucas, as the foolish boy, did not run. Instead he hid behind a gravestone, watching his mother. The Reaper started to lose as Layla, his mother, summoned forth her magic blades to cut his ethereal form. Be it a trick of fate or just bad luck, the Reaper in its final moments noticed the defenseless Lucas. In a last ditch attempt to take his life and harvest the essence, he swung his scythe at the boy. Whatever exactly happened, Lucas is still rather unsure about. The only thing he remember is his mother's embrace as the scythe pierced her back.
The family took the loss of their matriarch hard. But not so hard as they could no longer function. After a week of mourning, the forge was lit again and Lucas' older brother opened his books again. A year later he was allowed to go to a University. At the same time, the father thought it would be good to leave the old village for the city. Just to be away from the place where his wife died. His children agreed. So the whole family moved towards Luna Crescente.
They struck a little bit of bad luck there too. The Dark Guild's assault happened not long after they moved. But the drip of ill fate opened up the still mourning Lucas. Who kept close to his father at the forge, where often a few broken swords just vanished in thin air. As two mages of the dark guild broke down the door of the forge and demanded all riches, Lucas couldn't bear it anymore. Using his blade-magic he summoned forth a 'rain' of broken blades, hilts, swords and other pieces. He joined the counter attack of the unaffiliated mages (joined by Harpy's Wing). After that, he also joined Golem's hand.
Magic name: Summoning: Blade-magic
Description: Lucas can 'absorb' a blade. As in, when he touches a weapon, he can make it vanish in thin air. After that point he can summon it again at a moment’s notice and control the blade. If the summoned blade does not remain within the vicinity of Lucas, it will vanish again. Returning to Lucas' "internal vault" so he can summon it again.
Magic name: Lost Magic: Spirit Lord
Magic description: After the encounter with the Reaper, Lucas' senses were forever changed. Suddenly he started seeing dim lights where none were. Strange distortions traveled through his world suddenly. Spirits that nobody else could see. What these spirits exactly are, he doesn't know. Ancient theories suggest they are the floating remains of life. Others say they are odd essences coming from a certain power. Whatever they are, they can be used.
Relatives:
- Layla Reiklander: Mother, Deceased. Summon: blade-magic.
- Roman Reiklander: Father. No magic.
- Betrand Reiklander: Older brother. No magic.
- Louis Reiklander: Younger brother. No magic.
Possessions:
A small locket with the picture of his mother in it.

Magic:
Magic name: Summoning: Blade-magic
Description: Lucas can 'absorb' a blade. As in, when he touches a weapon, he can make it vanish in thin air. After that point he can summon it again at a moment’s notice and control the blade. If the summoned blade does not remain within the vicinity of Lucas, it will vanish again. Returning to Lucas' "internal vault" so he can summon it again.
Summon: gate of blades - A projectile spell. It summons a blue-ish gate around Lucas from which one half of his mentally chosen blade sticks out. At his mental command the blade strikes forth like a projectile. Assuming Lucas doesn't move near the thrown blade, it will vanish after a while to be used again. The blades he can summon with Gate of Blades vary but are generally low-level bronze, iron or steel with no special properties. Currently the following is stored in his "vault": 12 bronze blades, 5 iron blades, 1 steel blade. 3 chains. 2 spears and 1 lance.
Summon: Bladestorm - Several 'gates' open, letting loose a storm of blades that's swirls around Lucas. The blades act as both defense and Lucas can grab one from the storm (without getting hurt most of the time). Again, these blades are low-level weapons that hold no special properties.
Summon: [name of blade] - Lucas can summon forth the special blades he possesses. These weapons are no mere foolish toys which he can throw and discard. But mighty swords that were held by either mighty warriors, or forged with magical substances. In the end, these blades are rare and hold special properties.

- Deimos: Grand blade of fire. B-class weapon.

Magic name: Lost Magic: Spirit Lord
Magic description: After the encounter with the Reaper, Lucas' senses were forever changed. Suddenly he started seeing dim lights where none were. Strange distortions traveled through his world suddenly. Spirits that nobody else could see. What these spirits exactly are, he doesn't know. Ancient theories suggest they are the floating remains of life. Others say they are odd essences coming from a certain power. Whatever they are, they can be used.
Spirit Beacon - Lucas can turn his body into a magical beacon for the spirits. Normal people won't seen anything different (other than the fact that he's meditating). To maintain the beacon he needs to draw both mana and remain focused. So doing it in battle is nigh impossible. This is mostly a utility skill to gather the spirit power.
Imbue: Elemental spirit - Lucas can use his gathered spirits (or a portion of it) to imbue his weapons with their magical energy. The basic energies he can imbue with are the 4 elements: fire, water, earth and air. After a few minutes the spirits will vanish from the weapons.
Imbue: Mana spirit - Fusing the spirit's their energy into a mana spirit takes more energy and magical power. However, the result is worth it. Mana spirits imbuing already magical weapons vastly increase their natural elemental energy.
Medium: spirit nova - Lucas allows the spirit around him to materialize. Using him as a medium to do so. During the brief moment they are in the corporeal world, they gather immense amount of magical energy. (this also puts a strain on Lucas). So much magical energy that it blows up after 2 seconds.
Medium: River Styx - Lucas uses his own body as a spiritual focal point, just like Medium: Spirit Nova. However, he uses evne more magical and spiritual power to create a focal point further away from him. After that he allows the spirits to materialize around him. Creating a flow of 'mana burning spirits' between the two focal points. It's a very powerful and destructive magic. One he hasn't fully mastered yet.
Medium: Incorporeal - Instead of pulling the spirits into the corporeal world, Lucas draws himself into the spiritual world (which basically is ours but with spirits in it). He turns incorporeal and invisible (except for a faint shimmer where he is). He cannot be attacked nor can he attack anyone. He can move himself into safety or use it to flank opponents. Right now the Incorporeal form doesn't last that long.
