Added a part where I describe his normal clothing, since I noticed that his picture only shows his face. Basically being a muscular man in an old but formal suit. Built it around his characteristic himself. Also, added fire magic to his class, since he is now using it.

Character Name: Alexander of Tyrania
Age: 17
Race: Human
Chosen Schools of Magic:
Dark Magic
Summoning Magic
Destruction Magic: Fire
Magical Theory
Summoning Magic
Destruction Magic: Fire
Magical Theory
Alignement: Chaotic Good
Appearance:
Alexander takes a lot after his mother. With black hair and gentle, green eyes. Many would mistake him for someone else. But while his mother was certaintly sunkissed, Alexander is pale like the midnight moon. He often dresses in black robes, which certaintly unnerve those who misjudge him. The robes have a certain level of ornate decoration and enchantments worked into the fabric. Fitting for an apprentice like him. But maybe less fitting for an actual Prince.
Magical Talents
Maybe it was the bloody circumstance of his birth? Or the environment he grew up in. Maybe it was even the dark elf heritage he has on his mother’s side. What does it matter? Darkness greatly favors Alexander. It manifests, in its purest form as Achlys. A dark, corrupted version of Aether. Basically, while most people use mana/aether to fuel their spells, Alexander (subconsciously) uses Achlys. This makes any Dark Magic spells quite powerful. Necromancy also greatly benefits off Achlys. More neutral inclined magic like fire or wind will also be corrupted. Fires will burn hotter but extinguish quicker. Wind will not be stable but work in gusts.
Weakness:
The limitation of Achlys is that it cannot be used in conjunction with light, holy or life magic. Meanign that no matter what happens, Alexander will never be able to heal or cure anyone. He will be capable at destroying but he will never create. Such is the curse of Achlys. (this also means that while he can make constructs using necromancy, creating constructs using earth or metal magic is far more difficult.
Personality
Alexander is actually quite a sweet and gentle boy. He has no innate ill feelings towards anyone and refuses to believe in things like racism. He often tries to help people grow in their own ways. This need to help and even protect stems from his youth. Where he, his brothers and the many sons and daughters of the company’s officers had to band together to survive. But for Alexander, it goes deeper. He saw the people suffer. Not only in war but in their day to day lives. He saw farmers with broken backs as well as severed limbs. The boy tried to help, but what could one person do? Still, to this day, Alexander prefers to make friends and help them than make arbitrary enemies. Of course, this makes him a bit of a push-over sometimes over minor things. You can quite easily get from him what you want.
Of course, things go deeper. Alexander will protect his friends. Even with his life if must. But he also adopted the necessary concept of the greater good. There is more to this world than him and his friends. If he wants a better world, then he must be willing to make sacrifices for it. It might be a little hypocritical but he will refuse to put himself on the altar though. Instead, he will give up a friend if must. But only if must. He is also extremely pragmatic, refusing to blindly believe every dogmatic teaching he ever had. This often translate in sometimes doubting what his teacher says and dig for a deeper truth.
While a bit of a push-over and even a little naïve, Alexander can be highly competitive. He knows that because of his ‘condition’, he can’t heal or effectively support anyone. Furthermore, his father and brother do need him to fight in the coming conquests. In other words, Alexander must be able to fight. More importantly, he must deliver the army he promised. Therefor he must become strong and powerful. This is the reason he spent days practicing and reading. He doesn’t gather knowledge for the sake of knowledge. He seeks to find applicable wisdom so he can completely overpower his opponents. Now his opponents are just his rivals. But in a few years, they will be true enemies. He knows he must be prepared. Therefor in a practice match, he might go a bit over the top and take it too serious.

Character flaws
As said, he's quite friendly and sometimes even borderline naïve. He will find it strange that some people will dislike him no matter what. This also makes him trusting the wrong people sometimes. Not with an incredibly amount of trust. He works with the idea of: trust until proven otherwise.
Character History
Born from a mercenary warlord and a random tavern wench his father doesn’t even remember, Alexander’s early life was quite predictable. He was rarely cared for by the camp followers and at a young age he had to fend for himself. Instead of working on his own, however, the children of the officers banded together. He and his brothers worked in groups to steal, trick and buy food. However, as they got older, their father began to care a lot more about them. His older brother joined his father on the battlefield soon enough. The family moved from village to village. Fighting a bloody civil war for the local king. Eventually his father got his due. A lordship title and a piece of land. The brothers could finally rest at a small castle.
Except there was little rest. Alexander, showing his proficiency and interest in magic, was loaded up with tomes. His younger brother, the sneaky bastard, joined more hunts than most adults could ever boast of in their lifetime. The eldest was groomed in the art of the sword and the map. It was clear that their father had a purpose for each and it filled them all with pride when their father gave them the acceptance they craved. When Alexander turned 14, the inevitable happened. Their father revolted against the king. A long and terrible war raged for 3 years. Costing the lives of many farmers. While his father and brother were gone, Alexander had to rule over the castle. After the first year, bands of peasants came more and more often. Begging the little lord for scraps or help in their fields.
Eventually Alexander couldn’t bear the burden and the guilt of doing nothing. He acted. He raised a group of skeletons. Instead of using the undead to slaughter the living, he used them as mindless puppets, helping the farmers. Of course, the first few times the skeletons helped on the fields, farmers were dismayed. Having believed their entire life that the undead were something to be afraid of and to be shunned. But eventually the advantage of having them outweighed their fear. The lands that Alexander shortly “ruled” prospered despite the war. When his father returned, he too was first dismayed to see the unliving working the fields. But his father was a practical man.
He saw opportunity where others would be blinded by fear. He talked to his son, asked him what he wanted to do. When his father was certain that Alexander was not like any other necromancer, he realized that this would be a tool for greatness. You see, he had won the war and established himself as king. He even renamed it to the Kingdom of Tyrania. But he realized that the kingdom needed to heal. More importantly, the coup was far from popular amongst the neighbors and even the distant kingdoms. Alexander’s father has supported several other coups, letting systems that were against him be overthrown by more sympathetic rulers. In his grand scheme, the Kingdom of Tyrania would raise his oldest son as a conquerer.
After another long talk, Alexander was send for the Arcanium. He was allowed to study there and everything would be paid for. But in return he would have to bring the key to the conquest. In whatever shape it would take. Alexander was to come home bearing a weapon that could topple nations.

Just to be straight, the Achlys is not unique to Alexander. In principle, everyone could corrupt mana and turn it into Achlys. However, Alexander does it by instinct. Meaning he constantly does it subconsciously. Its kind of the opposite of Aether.

Can you look at mine to see if there are anything needed to be changed? Thanks.

Character Name: Isabel Pelrine
Age: 17
Race: Human
Chosen Shcool of Magic: Dark Arts mixed with Abjuration, Blood Ritual, and Biomancy (evolution).
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Appearance:
With the height of five foot eight and weighs about 124 pounds, Isabel is quite skinny compared to her height. She has a brown, darkish hair, tall small nose, and normal lips. Overall, Isabell is quite beautiful by human standard, not the best but decent enough. But what truly captivate other is her eyes. Her eyes seem to overcome others outside appearance and tapped into their soul. In her vision, some may see the uncertainty of future, their current though, and their acts in the past. It seems, to others, that Isabel is not bound by mortal flesh, but she had overcome that. Her view was mysterious, cover by mists, and filled with an unknown sadness. So in her daily life, Isabell usually wears a black dress, with very few decoration on it. She gives very little care about her appearance, with her hair cutting short to brush easier, no make ups or add on. Only with a few exceptions for important events that people could saw her wearing a different dress and a very light make ups.
Magical Talents:
Autopsy, Biological and magical influence (evolution):
Born as a daughter of a doctor in a normal city, Isabel had been exposed to the art of autopsy. Her talents in this fields had overcome her mentor, Rachel the II, the most talented doctor in her neighboring cities. But Isabel can felt there is still room for improvement, as she discovered her capability in magic.
Biological and magical influence is the topic that Isabel is currently researching. Through the research, Isabel hoped to unveil the secret of life and death. At this time, her only discovered is there are differences in the Cyclone Structure (DNA) according to each species. In her research, she identified there are differences between a mage and a commoner is within theirs Cyclone structures. But further more research is still required.
Weaknesses:
Her researches are very time consuming, even though she is a very smart person. It had taken her 5 years or more just to accomplish the reason of what causes some human to become mages and others don't. The problem does not stop there. To support for her research, Isabell required a lot of resources, some are so rare that they are on the edge of extinction. And she also required highly advance equipment to support her research.
Due to her lack in physical build, Isabell is not going to be good in close range combat for a short while. Even though this can be improved through time and with a suitable amount of exercise, she can become better. But time is what Isabell lack.
Personality:
Isabel used to be a cheerful kid, an optimistic person that always give other a smile or a hug when they needed it. But something inside her had changed, maybe due to her childhood tragic, or it was a natural thing, nobody knows. But one thing certain, the young little girl had died, replaced by a sharp woman, whose intellect overcome her age. The new Isabel was serious and quiet. She prefers to work alone, focusing on her main goal without caring for others advice if those are not useful for her goal. She could not tolerate imperfection of others and herself, strictly following her own rules. But, she will never abandon any person that she entitles as her “friend” unless they betrayed her.
Character Flaws:
Lone wolf: Due to her personality, Isabel has a small circle of friend. This may cause her trouble as when she need help from others.
Lack of common sense: Due to her being very isolated from the society, Isabel lack of many common senses.
Workaholic: Isabel will spend hours of studying and researching without noticing her own health. This causes her a huge disadvantage from other as she does not possess good physical traits.
Character History:
Born as a daughter of a doctor, Isabel was nothing like an ordinary girl. At a young age, she never dreams of marrying a prince or rescued by a knight. Her dream, different from most woman or children of her time, was to look into the depth of knowledge. And because of that, make her isolated from others. People around her despise her, some called her crazy, some ordered her to change.
Isabel understood that it was not their fault as everyone had a different opinion, but what she does not understand was how people treated with other that had the different view. So she pulled herself back, and spent most of her childhood in her house, studying along with her father. Nevertheless, she still love the people around her, and smile was always present on
But then, tragic came and desolate her soul.
On a cold winter night, a beast attacks their house. It murdered her father, and almost killed her if she did not run quick enough. So she ran toward the center of the cities, only to found there was nobody. So she waited, waited for someone or something would happen. But nothing does. On the next morning, people found Isabel on a corner, shivering, but still holding her father's notebook. Scars and blood were everywhere on her bodies. When the citizen reaches to Isabel’s house, there was nothing more than ashes and burning wood. In the center, a corpse of a man was burned into a dark figure.
Isabel was transferred into an orphanage at the age of eight. She lived there for a year before getting adopted by Rachel the II, the most talented doctor in Isabel neighboring cities. Under the teaching of her stepmother, Isabel’s talent in autopsy quickly overcome her mentor. At the age of twelve, she started to do her own research, searching into the depth of forbidden knowledge. Her intention for doing so was unknown to others as she usually does it alone. It took her five years to discover the secret of life remain in the Cyclone structure, something that not many had entered. And now, at the age of seventeen, Isabel attention shifted toward the Arcanium, where knowledge of the old is calling her to be discovered.

@Legion02
So I hate to say but I do want to talk a few things over with you before I approve it, first just to get out of the way: No Death Magic. Just any magic that says "And it dies" is just too overpowered for any kind of arena combat. Second, he doesn't really strike me as all that evil. He sounds like his family is evil, but he sounds kind and gentle. So even if he were to be helping his father that would still make him good with just a lawful patriotic duty to his family, I had my concerns when you said he was abhorrent of racism as a human especially. Don't get me wrong, racism is very very bad, but the fact of the matter is it's going to be there in a fantasy setting with so many different races to pick from, and while it may not take the form of humans hating other humans over skin tone, it will take the form over hating dwarves because they have a history of conflicting interests. The reason I go into this, it's a generically good trait to be an accepting person. So if you want him to be evil, I recommend giving him a more cynical and selfish attitude. Think "I'll help them later because they can be of use to me" or "My assistance comes at a cost." Alignment is a general blanket term, but if you call him truely lawful evil then a lot of people are going to be confused when you start going into the rp.
On the other hand, you using a corrupted form of Aether is entirely fine, it goes into some secret lore im sure you will like as someone playing a necromancer. You actually hit a bit of a hidden thing that I was dancing around when describing the dark elves, a source of magic that can corrupt it's user. That being said I'm going to make you a very vague offer that I promise is much more interesting than it sounds, would you like your character to have some cryptic voices in his head?
OH I ALMOST FORGOT. Necromancy is considered an affront to nature and is evil because of it, if you manage to find a dead body and resurrect it at the school, you will get yelled at by a teacher and potentially get detention. So. Actions and Consequences.
Can you look at mine to see if there are anything needed to be changed? Thanks.

She gives very little care about her appearance, with her hair cutting short to brush easier, no make ups or add on. Only with a few exceptions for important events that people could saw her wearing a different dress and a very light make ups.
Magical Talents:
Autopsy, Biological and magical influence (evolution):
Born as a daughter of a doctor in a normal city, Isabel had been exposed to the art of autopsy. Her talents in this fields had overcome her mentor, Rachel the II, the most talented doctor in her neighboring cities. But Isabel can felt there is still room for improvement, as she discovered her capability in magic.
Biological and magical influence is the topic that Isabel is currently researching. Through the research, Isabel hoped to unveil the secret of life and death. At this time, her only discovered is there are differences in the Cyclone Structure (DNA) according to each species. In her research, she identified there are differences between a mage and a commoner is within theirs Cyclone structures. But further more research is still required.
Weaknesses:
Her researches are very time consuming, even though she is a very smart person. It had taken her 5 years or more just to accomplish the reason of what causes some human to become mages and others don't. The problem does not stop there. To support for her research, Isabell required a lot of resources, some are so rare that they are on the edge of extinction. And she also required highly advance equipment to support her research.
Due to her lack in physical build, Isabell is not going to be good in close range combat for a short while. Even though this can be improved through time and with a suitable amount of exercise, she can become better. But time is what Isabell lack.
Personality:
Isabel used to be a cheerful kid, an optimistic person that always give other a smile or a hug when they needed it. But something inside her had changed, maybe due to her childhood tragic, or it was a natural thing, nobody knows. But one thing certain, the young little girl had died, replaced by a sharp woman, whose intellect overcome her age. The new Isabel was serious and quiet. She prefers to work alone, focusing on her main goal without caring for others advice if those are not useful for her goal. She could not tolerate imperfection of others and herself, strictly following her own rules. But, she will never abandon any person that she entitles as her “friend” unless they betrayed her.
Character Flaws:
Lone wolf: Due to her personality, Isabel has a small circle of friend. This may cause her trouble as when she need help from others.
Lack of common sense: Due to her being very isolated from the society, Isabel lack of many common senses.
Workaholic: Isabel will spend hours of studying and researching without noticing her own health. This causes her a huge disadvantage from other as she does not possess good physical traits.
Character History:
Born as a daughter of a doctor, Isabel was nothing like an ordinary girl. At a young age, she never dreams of marrying a prince or rescued by a knight. Her dream, different from most woman or children of her time, was to look into the depth of knowledge. And because of that, make her isolated from others. People around her despise her, some called her crazy, some ordered her to change.
Isabel understood that it was not their fault as everyone had a different opinion, but what she does not understand was how people treated with other that had the different view. So she pulled herself back, and spent most of her childhood in her house, studying along with her father. Nevertheless, she still love the people around her, and smile was always present on
But then, tragic came and desolate her soul.
On a cold winter night, a beast attacks their house. It murdered her father, and almost killed her if she did not run quick enough. So she ran toward the center of the cities, only to found there was nobody. So she waited, waited for someone or something would happen. But nothing does. On the next morning, people found Isabel on a corner, shivering, but still holding her father's notebook. Scars and blood were everywhere on her bodies. When the citizen reaches to Isabel’s house, there was nothing more than ashes and burning wood. In the center, a corpse of a man was burned into a dark figure.
Isabel was transferred into an orphanage at the age of eight. She lived there for a year before getting adopted by Rachel the II, the most talented doctor in Isabel neighboring cities. Under the teaching of her stepmother, Isabel’s talent in autopsy quickly overcome her mentor. At the age of twelve, she started to do her own research, searching into the depth of forbidden knowledge. Her intention for doing so was unknown to others as she usually does it alone. It took her five years to discover the secret of life remain in the Cyclone structure, something that not many had entered. And now, at the age of seventeen, Isabel attention shifted toward the Arcanium, where knowledge of the old is calling her to be discovered.
Ok so here everything works, you're neutral evil was the correct call as it means she is very cynical just by nature and lines up with her history. The only thing I dare to tell you to change is that you should probably just use the term Biomancy which is the magic to slowly or abruptly change living tissue and influence evolutionary changes. It would just be easier than having to explain it all the time y'know?
With that said, it checks out. Approved.
So...three evil CSes to two good CSes?
We're sure to get more coming in eventually, but if it makes you feel any better when you use the term evil in DnD it's not necessarily like they're all going to screw you over, like I said in Scarecrow's case, their character is more cynical this does mean that overall they will be prone to evil tendencies like a disregard to what the general populace considers to be decency and doing things like digging up corpses in an attempt to bring them back to life Frankenstein style.

Character Name: Alexander of Tyrania
Age: 17
Race: Human
Chosen Schools of Magic:
Dark Magic
Summoning Magic
Destruction Magic: Fire
Magical Theory
Summoning Magic
Destruction Magic: Fire
Magical Theory
Alignement: Chaotic Good
Appearance:
Alexander takes a lot after his mother. With black hair and gentle, green eyes. Many would mistake him for someone else. But while his mother was certaintly sunkissed, Alexander is pale like the midnight moon. He often dresses in black robes, which certaintly unnerve those who misjudge him. The robes have a certain level of ornate decoration and enchantments worked into the fabric. Fitting for an apprentice like him. But maybe less fitting for an actual Prince.
Magical Talents
Maybe it was the bloody circumstance of his birth? Or the environment he grew up in. Maybe it was even the dark elf heritage he has on his mother’s side. What does it matter? Darkness greatly favors Alexander. It manifests, in its purest form as Achlys. A dark, corrupted version of Aether. Basically, while most people use mana/aether to fuel their spells, Alexander (subconsciously) uses Achlys. This makes any Dark Magic spells quite powerful. Necromancy also greatly benefits off Achlys. More neutral inclined magic like fire or wind will also be corrupted. Fires will burn hotter but extinguish quicker. Wind will not be stable but work in gusts.
Weakness:
The limitation of Achlys is that it cannot be used in conjunction with light, holy or life magic. Meanign that no matter what happens, Alexander will never be able to heal or cure anyone. He will be capable at destroying but he will never create. Such is the curse of Achlys. (this also means that while he can make constructs using necromancy, creating constructs using earth or metal magic is far more difficult.
Is it a weakness? Or a gift beyond the veils of understanding? A curse maybe? Whatever it is, Alexander knows there is something more.
Sometimes he hears things. When he was young it was random noises. Ever so soft. But they got louder. Random sounds strung together.
Now he hears whispers. Faint spoken words just beyond his understanding.

Personality
Alexander is actually quite a sweet and gentle boy. He has no innate ill feelings towards anyone and refuses to believe in things like racism. He often tries to help people grow in their own ways. This need to help and even protect stems from his youth. Where he, his brothers and the many sons and daughters of the company’s officers had to band together to survive. But for Alexander, it goes deeper. He saw the people suffer. Not only in war but in their day to day lives. He saw farmers with broken backs as well as severed limbs. The boy tried to help, but what could one person do? Still, to this day, Alexander prefers to make friends and help them than make arbitrary enemies. Of course, this makes him a bit of a push-over sometimes over minor things. You can quite easily get from him what you want.
Of course, things go deeper. Alexander will protect his friends. Even with his life if must. But he also adopted the necessary concept of the greater good. There is more to this world than him and his friends. If he wants a better world, then he must be willing to make sacrifices for it. It might be a little hypocritical but he will refuse to put himself on the altar though. Instead, he will give up a friend if must. But only if must. He is also extremely pragmatic, refusing to blindly believe every dogmatic teaching he ever had. This often translate in sometimes doubting what his teacher says and dig for a deeper truth.
While a bit of a push-over and even a little naïve, Alexander can be highly competitive. He knows that because of his ‘condition’, he can’t heal or effectively support anyone. Furthermore, his father and brother do need him to fight in the coming conquests. In other words, Alexander must be able to fight. More importantly, he must deliver the army he promised. Therefor he must become strong and powerful. This is the reason he spent days practicing and reading. He doesn’t gather knowledge for the sake of knowledge. He seeks to find applicable wisdom so he can completely overpower his opponents. Now his opponents are just his rivals. But in a few years, they will be true enemies. He knows he must be prepared. Therefor in a practice match, he might go a bit over the top and take it too serious.

Character flaws
As said, he's quite friendly and sometimes even borderline naïve. He will find it strange that some people will dislike him no matter what. This also makes him trusting the wrong people sometimes. Not with an incredibly amount of trust. He works with the idea of: trust until proven otherwise.
Character History
Born from a mercenary warlord and a random tavern wench his father doesn’t even remember, Alexander’s early life was quite predictable. He was rarely cared for by the camp followers and at a young age he had to fend for himself. Instead of working on his own, however, the children of the officers banded together. He and his brothers worked in groups to steal, trick and buy food. However, as they got older, their father began to care a lot more about them. His older brother joined his father on the battlefield soon enough. The family moved from village to village. Fighting a bloody civil war for the local king. Eventually his father got his due. A lordship title and a piece of land. The brothers could finally rest at a small castle.
Except there was little rest. Alexander, showing his proficiency and interest in magic, was loaded up with tomes. His younger brother, the sneaky bastard, joined more hunts than most adults could ever boast of in their lifetime. The eldest was groomed in the art of the sword and the map. It was clear that their father had a purpose for each and it filled them all with pride when their father gave them the acceptance they craved. When Alexander turned 14, the inevitable happened. Their father revolted against the king. A long and terrible war raged for 3 years. Costing the lives of many farmers. While his father and brother were gone, Alexander had to rule over the castle. After the first year, bands of peasants came more and more often. Begging the little lord for scraps or help in their fields.
Eventually Alexander couldn’t bear the burden and the guilt of doing nothing. He acted. He raised a group of skeletons. Instead of using the undead to slaughter the living, he used them as mindless puppets, helping the farmers. Of course, the first few times the skeletons helped on the fields, farmers were dismayed. Having believed their entire life that the undead were something to be afraid of and to be shunned. But eventually the advantage of having them outweighed their fear. The lands that Alexander shortly “ruled” prospered despite the war. When his father returned, he too was first dismayed to see the unliving working the fields. But his father was a practical man.
He saw opportunity where others would be blinded by fear. He talked to his son, asked him what he wanted to do. When his father was certain that Alexander was not like any other necromancer, he realized that this would be a tool for greatness. You see, he had won the war and established himself as king. He even renamed it to the Kingdom of Tyrania. But he realized that the kingdom needed to heal. More importantly, the coup was far from popular amongst the neighbors and even the distant kingdoms. Alexander’s father has supported several other coups, letting systems that were against him be overthrown by more sympathetic rulers. In his grand scheme, the Kingdom of Tyrania would raise his oldest son as a conquerer.
After another long talk, Alexander was send for the Arcanium. He was allowed to study there and everything would be paid for. But in return he would have to bring the key to the conquest. In whatever shape it would take. Alexander was to come home bearing a weapon that could topple nations.

Sorry man, I got sloppy. About half-way into the creation I remembered an awesome DnD story about a good necromancer. I liked that a lot more so I changed the History and Personality accordingly. Forgot to change his allignement though. Also, with Death Magic I was inching towards the Shyish magic from Warhammer. Though I understand that the name is a rather big, red flag. Changed it to Dark Magic (or Arts, hoping that is allowed). Also I took away Necromancy as a Chosen School as I'd imagine no teacher would actually give it. Still, he'd be willing to learn about these forbidden arts from books and he'll still experiment with it. I did change it to Summoning Magic (or Conjuration).
And I will take those cryptic voices! Sounds like great fun. Though I'll describe it as whispers in the bio. So they can become voices when the RP start.
EDIT: Also I took Chaotic good because I feel that he's obviously good but he doesn't adhere to the rules. He thinks it limits thinking and creativity to solve problems. In other words, he'll often skirt with the rules when he thinks its for the better.

@Legion02
Nicely edited, this fits much better and don't worry, just because it's a forbidden art doesn't mean necromancy isn't something that can be learned through applications of other magics. Or some forbidden tomes... As for the voices, I'll control those, and maybe describe some nightmares for him too. Trust me, if the rp gets long enough it may even turn into a full blown plot thread that would break the whole "isolated" part of the rp lol I don't want to explain it since I want to keep it cryptic, but we'll just leave it at it'll get pretty dark where those come from.
Dark arts are by all means allowed though since dark arts are a blanket term, destruction magic is considered a dark art even. It's typically magic that's unnatural such as bending the elements to your whim all the way to the extremes of turning people inside out. Naturally nobody has the authority to flat out kill anyone in this rp without prior permission.
Anyway, yeah well fixed, it's approved. Go ahead and move it to the characters section like it is now.

Character Name: Kyvir Lokerakir
Age: 23
Race: Tieflings
Chosen School of Magic:
Swordmage; Shielding/Assault
Pacting
Invocation; Destrucion
Conjuration
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Kyvir is an Enormous man, standing at 6'7, and weighing about 235 lbs. He has a patch of thick scars over his mouth, though these are the only ones commonly visible. His back, torso, and legs however are covered in scars of varying length and thickness, and have come from whips, fights, and abuses too numerous to count. He isn't often deemed attractive, however he is seen as powerful, or intimidating at the least. His black eyes, combined with his harsh and scarred appearance often prevent people from approaching him, however few would dare call him ugly. His facial features are rough, just as his horns, and are both a deep, bloody red in tone.
He can be found wearing Leather armour, or combat armour almost exclusively, and always carries his Sword and dagger. Beneath his layers of armour are layers of scars, splattered almost lazily over his muscular form. He walks with a sense of readiness, as if he is constantly waiting for someone to jump from the shadows and slay him where he stood. However, despite his size, he is surprisingly agile, and his movements do carry a sense of purpose.
Magical Talents:
Evocation - As with most Tieflings, Kyvir has a resistance to heat that allows him to use flame oriented magic in close combat. More often than not, he will set his own sword on fire during battle. He has also managed to set people entirely on fire during trials organized by Slavers
Abjuration - As Kyvir was intended to become a Slave Ward, he was required to learn how to create and maintain protective spells while fighting. He is capable, however he has found he uses evocation far more regularly.
Physical Talents:
Born and Raised a fighting Slave, Kyvir is very familiar with pain. Whether it be a whip, a sword, or a staff, Kyvir has suffered through it multiple times. Because of this, Kyvir is able to fight in a very tank-like manner, and short of killing or amputating him, he's very difficult to hurt badly enough that he'll accept defeat.
In addition to his tolerance for pain, Kyvir is a powerful fighter, his survival through each of his trials as a slave is testament to such. Kyvir learned the ways of killing at a very young age, and took his first life at nine during his initiation trials.
Weaknesses:
Due to Kyvir's environment, he has abilities in particular fields almost exclusively, with little rounding of edges. While he is extremely talented at close to mid-range fighting, he is nearly useless at range; While he can create powerful protective spells, he can only maintain one at a time. All in all, Kyvir's capabilities are very specific, as he was bred to fill a very specific role, and he has little room for flexibility due to the harsh nature of his training. He was bred to become a ward, a guardian for a single person, not a soldier or city-guard.
Personality:
While Kyvir could likely become an intellectual mastermind, he had any curiosity beaten out of him as a child. As such, his only interest in life has become subservience. He doesn't wish to lead, advice, strategize, or do anything but what he knows; obey and fight. He truly follows the archetype of "strong but silent," as he blatantly will not speak unless spoken to. Even then, he may not respond depending on whether or not he views them as an authority.
Kyvir often carries a blank expression on his face, almost as if he is meditating. However, he simply prefers to avoid meaningless thoughts, and instead focusing on the task(s) at hand.
Character Flaws:
Kyvir is a solemn, stoic man of unquestionable loyalty. However, he is not sided with a cause, nor a war, nor a party; but an individual. Whoever is placed under his Ward, he will obey and defend this person regardless of the circumstances. He will respond just the same regardless of the task at hand, whether escorting someone or burning a town into dirt and ash. He will obey, always.
Character History:
Kyvir was bred and raised in the Eastern slave nation of Thay, a dark and foreboding land of windswept mountains and badlands. Being born into slavery, he had never known or craved another life, largely because he was a slave-ward. When Kyvir became of age, he would partake in the 10th and final trial in full view of numerous prospective buyers. Because of his status as a ward, Kyvir wasn't left to flock with the other multitudes of slaves, but would rather be isolated to his instructors and his slave kin. Because of their race, only one of the prospective Wards would survive the Final Trial, which consisted of all remaining slaves of a season being forced to battle until only one was left standing.
Upon his birth, Kyvir's mother was executed and Kyvir was taken to where he would spend the first Twenty-Two years of his life, the House of Shields in the castle of Surthay, an elven region known as a Tharc, ruled by Homen Odesseiron. The first five years of his life were uneventful, as soon as he could walk he was tasked to assist the Castle's squires until the age of 7, when he would begin his initiation trials. At the age of Nine, he had taken his first life, one of dozens upon dozens.
Throughout his life, he has passed through Ten trials, making him available to purchase. At the age of Twenty-Two, he was purchased by a High-Elf known to him as Lady Mornelis, who became his ward. As such, he began to accompany her to the arcanium she attended, as a student himself to avoid suspicion.
Age: 23
Race: Tieflings
Chosen School of Magic:
Swordmage; Shielding/Assault

Invocation; Destrucion
Conjuration
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Kyvir is an Enormous man, standing at 6'7, and weighing about 235 lbs. He has a patch of thick scars over his mouth, though these are the only ones commonly visible. His back, torso, and legs however are covered in scars of varying length and thickness, and have come from whips, fights, and abuses too numerous to count. He isn't often deemed attractive, however he is seen as powerful, or intimidating at the least. His black eyes, combined with his harsh and scarred appearance often prevent people from approaching him, however few would dare call him ugly. His facial features are rough, just as his horns, and are both a deep, bloody red in tone.
He can be found wearing Leather armour, or combat armour almost exclusively, and always carries his Sword and dagger. Beneath his layers of armour are layers of scars, splattered almost lazily over his muscular form. He walks with a sense of readiness, as if he is constantly waiting for someone to jump from the shadows and slay him where he stood. However, despite his size, he is surprisingly agile, and his movements do carry a sense of purpose.
Magical Talents:
Evocation - As with most Tieflings, Kyvir has a resistance to heat that allows him to use flame oriented magic in close combat. More often than not, he will set his own sword on fire during battle. He has also managed to set people entirely on fire during trials organized by Slavers
Abjuration - As Kyvir was intended to become a Slave Ward, he was required to learn how to create and maintain protective spells while fighting. He is capable, however he has found he uses evocation far more regularly.
Physical Talents:
Born and Raised a fighting Slave, Kyvir is very familiar with pain. Whether it be a whip, a sword, or a staff, Kyvir has suffered through it multiple times. Because of this, Kyvir is able to fight in a very tank-like manner, and short of killing or amputating him, he's very difficult to hurt badly enough that he'll accept defeat.
In addition to his tolerance for pain, Kyvir is a powerful fighter, his survival through each of his trials as a slave is testament to such. Kyvir learned the ways of killing at a very young age, and took his first life at nine during his initiation trials.
Weaknesses:
Due to Kyvir's environment, he has abilities in particular fields almost exclusively, with little rounding of edges. While he is extremely talented at close to mid-range fighting, he is nearly useless at range; While he can create powerful protective spells, he can only maintain one at a time. All in all, Kyvir's capabilities are very specific, as he was bred to fill a very specific role, and he has little room for flexibility due to the harsh nature of his training. He was bred to become a ward, a guardian for a single person, not a soldier or city-guard.
Personality:
While Kyvir could likely become an intellectual mastermind, he had any curiosity beaten out of him as a child. As such, his only interest in life has become subservience. He doesn't wish to lead, advice, strategize, or do anything but what he knows; obey and fight. He truly follows the archetype of "strong but silent," as he blatantly will not speak unless spoken to. Even then, he may not respond depending on whether or not he views them as an authority.

Ok so this generally looks pretty alright, but I have to ask before I approve it since you claimed a direct connection to her character. You know of this character Rune? Like a friend? Or is it just a tie in to give you someone to call master? If she's consenting to having this connection in your character's history I'm fine with it I just want to know before I go approving anything.
