Name: Jackson Devani
Age:24
Appearance:![Appearance](http://static.tumblr.com/0859226dbbef5b3c6ebb20c0addc694a/zqjmifv/3Hwncjjxg/tumblr_static_4h9kut55n24g8kgcgc8wwkoo8.jpg)
Personality:Jackson enjoys the simple things. Time with friends, a good drink, one night stands, and his favorite thing to do, fight. He has always been the type to start stuff with people he doesn't know, and especially with people he doesn't like. Generally, however, he tries to keep that in check when on missions or during serious situations.
Skills:Knife and swordplay skills are very good, and his many years of street fighting have given him a good intuition and reaction time in combat. He is also marginally good at stealth, and you'll have a hard time finding a better pickpocket than him. He sometimes uses magic to assist him in those skills, but most of the time it's just his own personal skill at it.
Favorite magical types:Elemental, Corporeal, Sorcery
Spells:
Hunter's grace(Corporeal): A spell that allows one to have near perfect balance, alike a jungle cat.
Shadow Bomb(Sorcery): A elemental spell in which Jackson lobs an orb of shadows at his enemy. Upon making contact with a physical object, the orb explodes into a dark mist. disorienting those inside. The elemental power of fear can be add in to cause those inside to hallucinate, but it can be rather draining
Summoning Aphosis: A rather taxing spell, and one of last resort, it allows Jackson to summon Aphosis through his sword to attack his enemies. Aphosis, being a spirirt of Drakness and the Fear of the Predators that reside in it, can take the shape of many animals that hunt at night, like wolves and hyeneas for example. He could do more, but jackson is not at that level to support those abilities with out keeling over. They share a bond of friendship, which shall be explained in the background.
Fear inducement(Sorcery): A spell that strikes fear in Jackson's enemies, making them flee in terror in his presence. Only works on mages of his level and below, with the weaker mages fleeing in terror, and the stronger ones only being unnerved by him.
Spear of the Shadowed Night(Sorcery): A spear made of pure shadow and fear, harms not the flesh of those it hits, but the mind. It slowly corrupts the foundation of their sanity, until they go mad. A spell with the long term in mind, very tiring, used mostly on strong enemies that he expects to see again. But since those enemies are stronger than him, the spell has a chance of not working.
Shadow shards(Sorcery):A mixed range spell, it allows Jackosn to form and manipulate shards of solid shadow to use as a weapon, either for rapid, low damage close range attacks, or powerful, but slow to charge long range shots.
Magical Items: A blade that stands that connects Aphosis to this plane, has a black blade and can shift into 3 forms: Katana, Longsword, and Dual Serrated Knives. He also has an amulet which was also gifted to him by Aphosis, allowing Jackson to manipulate shadows to help him say hidden when stealth is need. Conceals nearly all traces of his presence.
Non-magical items:Smartphone, Brass Knuckles, Cigarettes, a special Laptop with a satellite uplink, so it is always connected to the internet, when asked how he got it, he tells people 'I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.' He says this with such seriousness that most people leave him alone.
Magical Enhancements:Marks of the First Hunter: Given to him by Aphosis, these marks enhance Jacksons endurance, strength, senses, and tracking skills. Takes the mark of a jungle cat tattoo running across the whole of his back.
Backstory:Jackson was your average troublemaker, always getting into fights, pulling pranks, and just being an over all nuisance. But the one think that sets him apart from others was that he always felt like he was being watched. It followed him all through out his life, feeling especially intense when ever he got into fights. It wasn't until one day, when he was 16 years old, that he would find out. That was the day that a heretical order kidnapped him from his home and forced him to learn magic. The reason, they wished to bind the spirit that seemed to be connected to him, watching him from beyond the veil, and to do that they needed him to summon it. So it was that he learned the skills needed to summon the spirit, and in only a year as he seemed to have a hidden talent for it. When the time came, he did summon the spirit, but he made sure to leave out a certain part of the spell that kept the being contained. So it broke out, quickly overwhelming his captors in a wave of shadow.
Afterwards, it took a form that looked exactly like him and held out it hand. Seeing no reason not to, he took it and the spirit surged forth into Jackson, leaving behind it's mark and the blade he now uses. Shortly after, a collection of priest came in, only to see all the heretics dead, and him unconscious, with the blade in his hand. When he awoke, Jackson was given two options, be executed on grounds of heresy, or join the order. He took the obvious choice, and hasn't looked back ever since.
