Description:
Standing at a height of 5’6” feet, Madison is a man of fair complexion, with mellow features, dark eyes, and even darker curls that fall to his chin. These traits, however, tend to be overshadowed quite easily by his rather...interesting choice in wardrobe. Despite being male, and identifying as such, the professor is almost always found donning a pencil skirt and heels. As Madison leans naturally on the more androgynous side of the spectrum, it doesn’t take much use of makeup for him to become nearly indistinguishable from a woman. This hobby of his can easily confuse both staff and student alike- especially if one has not been informed of his gender otherwise.
On the side of his neck is a tattoo of an oval with several concentric rings inside of it, with the words “Sempre vigilans" inscribed on a banner below it. His body as a whole is littered in various scars.
Personality:
At heart, Madison is an open, gentle natured man. He actively strives to be the type of professor a student (or staff member, for that matter) would go to with their problems- understanding and patient. In a contrast to several of his fellow teachers, Madison is slow to ire, being able to take many things in stride before getting riled. However, in the case that he is truly angered, he becomes silent with rage, and will often hold a long lasting grudge against whoever drove him to that state.
Skills:
- A master of pyromancy, capable of equal parts control and destruction against opponents.
- A talented healer and toxin producer, partly through constant use and practice during the war. With the latter, Madison particularly favors sleeping agents and flammable substances, but is also capable of more deadly concoctions as well.
- Good people skills.
Weaknesses:
- Madison has difficulty forming strong bonds with other people.
- On a related note, Madison also has trouble working alone, and prefers to work in a group than alone.
- For all of his control, his fires are still very dangerous, and could very well harm team members if left unchecked.
Brief History:
Madison’s relationship with his family was a rather difficult one, put gently. As the Lovette family line was primarily matriarchal, Madison’s parents wanted nothing more to have a daughter to carry on the name. Though they made a constant, increasingly desperate effort, they were unable to have any children for many years- until Madison, at least. Of course, seeing as how the child was male, he could not carry on the lineage, but the options had begun to run out. A heir was expected, and, with the parents growing old, they made the unorthodox decision to raise their son as a daughter.
Eventually, after years of this treatment, Madison came to learn of the full extent of his situation. Disturbed, he found refuge in his close friend, a Terramancer, and ran off to join the war- lying about his age to join. While Madison survived, he watched many of his fellow soldiers fall, as well as his companion. Once the war was over, Lovette took to wandering, strengthening his powers in the meantime. Interestingly enough, he also returned to the habit of dressing in women’s clothing, albeit of his own choice this time around. However, upon receiving an invitation to teach at Marchand, Madison was quick to leave behind his travelings to teach at the newly born institution.
