**Name:** Jayce “Iron-arm” Braddock
**Age:** 22
**Gender:** Male
**Personality:** Overall, Jayce is an extremely laid-back type of guy, preferring to take his time when approaching a situation, or just to avoid it all-together if he can help it. He's a pretty cool guy to hang around, and sometimes even manages to provide some decent advice to those who need it.
**Magic:** Lacrima Loader Magic: Arm Type
**Description:** Jayce can insert small lacrima crystals into his artificial arm, and doing so, his arm will take on and use the properties of the Lacrima's element. The only real limitation to this is that he can only carry so many, and so he carries around 20 of various kinds on his belt. Usually the lacrima only charge the arm for about a minute.
_**Spells:**_
**Fire Lacrima Charge:** Charges his arm with fire, causing it to heat up exponentially. The metal becomes white hot, and it also starts to smell like burning rubber.
**Aqua Lacrima Charge:** Charges his arm with water, causing liquid to flow freely from his fingers which is nearly useless in all actuality. But when used in combination...
**Lightning Lacrima Charge:** Charges his arm with Electricity, which he can release at will while the effect is active. To release any electricity, his hand has to be open.
**Explosive Lacrima Charge:** Allows him to fire an Explosive Lacrima Bullet from his hand. One shot for Lacrima.
**Ice Lacrima Charge:** Charges his arm with Ice, causing the metal to become freezing cold. Unable to be used with Fire in rapid succession, otherwise it would make the metal brittle.
**Wind Lacrima Charge:** Charges his arm with wind, causing strong gusts to swirl around his arm. The wind is very strong, but is limited only to the area around his forearm.
Earth Lacrima Charge: Causes a rock layer to form around his arm, greatly increasing his impact level with it, with the offset of the thing getting a whole lot heavier.
**Combination Charge:** Pretty much any of the above Lacrima can be used in combination, such as combining Fire and Aqua to create a steam vent from his palm, or an Explosive Ice Lacrima Bullet.
**Piston Stretch:** Not really a magic of any kind, his arm's wrist can extend forward in a rapid motion like a piston to enhance the impact of his punches. He can unhinge the wrist of his arm to make his hand spin as well. Because spinning punches are cool.
**Mage Rank:** B-Class
**Biography:** Jayce was born to an entirely normal family, the likes of which had no special talents, no mages in the family tree, no nothing. The only thing the Braddock men had ever been known for was their devotion to their work, whatever their craft may be, regardless of their personality. Jayce was the same way, he devoted himself to everything he did, even if he hated it. From an early age, he had a fascination with machinery, especially magic vehicles, and as such tinkered and tinkered with whatever bits of scrap he could get his hands on; though admittedly that included things that weren't his. Over the years he simply got better and better at putting things together, so much so that he became the first member of his family to be considered a prodigy at anything. By the age of 16, he could build an entire magic buggy from scrap, take it apart, and put it back together again in under 6 hours.
At the age of 17, to get the money he needed to continue his career as an engineer, he joined the Fioran Rune Knights. Things were going smoothly until his unit's first real dispatchment, the job was an odd one: Find out what happened to a town along the border that's entire population vanished. They found nothing, not even a single trace of a single person left in the town, and they left absolutely no stone unturned. No signs of a struggle, no blood, not even a dropped cup. It was as if all of the townsfolk simply...vanished.
And then so did the Knights while they weren't looking. At first they just assumed they went AWOL, too scared to investigate, but soon even their commanding officer vanished without a trace. Being one of the last three left, Jayce decided that whatever was there, they couldn't handle it, and so rounded up his companions and readied to flee the town. However, what had taken the people didn't like it's prey just up and leaving. Before they made it more than one mile out of the town, something assaulted his two companions behind his back. And, without a single sound made, the two vanished as well, and it took Jayce a full minute to even realize that they simply weren't there anymore.
After noticing he was alone, he ran. He ran as fast as he possibly could to escape from whatever was in the town, or rather what was after him. In his attempt to escape, he suddenly felt...lighter. Particularly on his right side. A glance to his right side informed him that his right arm was...gone. There was no trace of any sort of bite or cut, it was as if the entire thing simply ceased to be from the shoulder down, though the pain quickly shot through him as his body realized his arm was gone. Writhing in pain on the ground, he attempted to crawl in a last desperate attempt to get away from whatever that thing was, though the trail of blood from his arm gave him away all too easily. As he bled out in the brush of the local forest, he wondered if this was really how he was going to die, alone and without a trace of his body being left behind. In his 'supposed final moments', he saw something. Something not human. It was a beast with the body of a canine with jet black fur, with eyes as red as blood-soaked leather. The eyes had an almost...insect like look to them, no pupils or scilera visible at all. Fur-covered appendages extended all along it's upper torso, almost like extra sets of limbs that simply stood upright, as if poised to move. The final blow never came. At least to him.
The beast turned immediately and lunged at something unseen, something horrifying that was now on the receiving end of pain. He couldn't see what it was, whatever it was, only the dog-like beast could see it, but he was never more happy to see a wild animal. The beast somehow treated his stub of an arm after the fight, and followed him back to the safety of Oshibana, where he resigned from the Knights after what he'd seen happen. Inspired by the strength of his new animal companion, Jayce vowed to become strong enough to defeat that invisible beast himself, and that he would need both his hands to do it. Constructing a new arm with the help of the animal, which he now called "Nori" (Turns out it was a girl. Who knew?), he trained relentlessly to grow stronger, becoming the Braddock family's first mage, all in order to one day to find out what the hell happened in that town.
