Raffaella Struna, 1st Year Student of Harold's Academy for the Magically Inclined

How do you make friends in a new place? Everyone here is so much more amazingly skilled than me. I'm getting all nervous!

@Emeth

Taegan Granlock 5th Year Student of Harold's Academy for the Magically Inclined

“When you find the answer, tell me.”

“I am from the noble Granlock family. As a noble, it is my duty to lead the people to righteousness. People are just naturally drawn by noble presence and magnetic personality. As well they should. The common folk need a leader to guide them, and who better to do that than me?”

Uhm... D-Don't tell anyone I'm in the Pet Bonding class, though! Being in an easy A class is s-super embarrassing!

@Emeth

”Beg your pardon but… Easy A? I take it you have never owned a Blue Spotted Wink. I’m not surprised. Only a certain class of people can even afford one. Temperamental little creatures they are, but that’s why I love them.”

How do you form a genuine connection with someone? Not that I need help with mind you. I’m asking for a friend.

Cheesecake is great. It’s rich and creamy and sweet. Yummy.

Do you have a pet?

This is cute, but it doesn't fit the aesthetic of the RP, unfortunately. It's that chatroom avatar style I mentioned in the character sheet that is ill-fitting here. However, I've created some AI art you can look through to see if any of these you like for your character.

@Ti You have compettion for Illuminaire, I’m sorry.

Taegan Granlock

◈ A p p e a r a n c e ◈
Taegan is a tall lanky young person. They stand at 6’3” and towers over many others. They have slender build with slight muscle definition that they maintains for cosmetic reasons. They have a heart shaped face with soft features that could convincingly belong to a man or a woman. They wear makeup to contour their face to emphasize their masculinity or femininity depending on their whims. Their hair is blonde and kept in a short bob normally. Sometimes they’ll wear wigs if they want to experiment with different hairstyles. Their fair skin complexion perfectly complements their clear and striking blue eyes. Notably, Taegan has no body or facial hair, further enhancing their androgynous appearance.

Sometimes Tae presents masculine, some days Tae presents feminine, but most days Tae presents androgynous. Either way Taegan sees themselves as beautiful, and sees no reason why others shouldn’t also. Taegan has a passion for fashion and enjoys wearing a wide range of clothing styles. They particularly favor robes, tunics with tights, fancy suits, and pretty gowns. However, one commonality across their wardrobe choices is their preference for expensive garments. Taegan exclusively wears the finest silks and fabrics money can buy, considering anything less to be offensive to their sense of style and self-expression. Sitting atop of their head is a crown of gold leaves, symbolizing their noble status and personal flair.

Taegan is a character with high status and a sense of entitlement. They are proud of their noble background and never hesitates to showcase their prestige. They exude an air of wealth through their clothing and demeanor, expecting nothing less than the best in everything they encounter. Anything less would just be insulting. Taegan tends to look down on commoners, finding them boring, but understands that it is their duty to guide and rule over them to improve their lives.

Naturally inclined to leadership, Taegan takes charge of situations and knows how to command attention and respect through their persuasive speaking skills. They find joy in being in control and imposing their will on others. They often dismiss alternative ideas, believing that their own are superior. However, they struggle to handle challenges to their ideology and become defensive when faced with opposition. Taegan’s concern for others is primarily based on their usefulness and cooperation towards shared goals, and they quickly move on from relationships once they no longer serve a purpose.

Despite their excessive confidence and elevated status, Taegan carries a deep sense of loneliness. While they have a close connection with their goddess, it fails to fulfill their longing for true friendship. Taegan secretly wishes that others would naturally gravitate towards them as a natural ruler, but they often find it difficult to establish genuine connections due to the conflicting demands of leadership and friendship. They yearn for one true friend but struggle to strike a balance between their position of authority and fostering meaningful companionship.

◈ H i s t o r y
Taegan’s upbringing a member of the influential Granlock family provided them with privileges and opportunities that many others did not have. From a young age, Taegan was immersed in the teachings of their noble lineage, learning everything from etiquette and manners to the religious beliefs centered around their Goddess. However, it was the study of magic that truly captivated Tae’s interest, and they spent a significant amount of time delving into books on the subject.

Outside of their studies, Tae struggled to fit in socially. They rejected traditional gender norms and did not conform to being solely identified as a boy or a girl, which led to others viewing them as strange and weird. The resulting teasing and name-calling deeply affected Taegan, causing them to retreat further into their studies and their connection with the Goddess. The Goddess became a source of solace and companionship, alleviating some of the loneliness they experienced.

Growing up in a noble family instilled in Taegan a sense of superiority, which they used as a defense mechanism to mask their loneliness. They looked down on commoners and rarely associated with individuals outside of their aristocratic circle. Taegan’s family encouraged this belief, emphasizing the noble's role in leading and guiding the common people toward righteousness. While Taegan desired to ascend to a position of leadership, their motivation was not solely driven by a connection to the goddess but also by the desire for the power and influence.

Taegan’s gift manifested early, at age 14. The couldn’t be happier. This was a sign from the Goddess that the path they were following was the right one, and they were destined for bigger and better things!

◈ R e p u t a t i o n
Taegan is a part of the prestigious Granlock family. This gives them a high social standing and privilege. Their noble status gives them a lot of respect from people who care about that sort of thing. Tae never fails to flaunt their wealth and status. Everyone in the school knows who they are, for better or worse.

◈ G o a l s
Taegan strives to make their mark on society. They aspire to ascend to a position of leadership within their aristocratic circle. Taegan sees themselves as a natural ruler, guided by their noble lineage and connection to their Goddess. They seek to wield their authority to improve the lives of the common people, whom they view as their responsibility.

Although they would never tell anyone out loud, Taegan longs for genuine connections and true friendship. They yearn for an authentic connection where others see beyond their noble status and appreciate them for who they truly are. Taegan desires to find one true friend who can provide the companionship and understanding they crave.

They aim to hone and master their magical abilities, exploring the depths of their power and discovering new ways to utilize their light-based skills.

◈ R e l a t i o n s
Taegan has a large circle of friends. However, they are not real friends, and Taegan knows it. They only are around because of Taegan’s noble status, and are hoping to benefit from it. Taegan genuinely wishes for real connections.

Taegan loves their family, but Taegan’s parents aren’t around as much as they would like. Being nobility takes up much of their parents time.

Elementalist

◈ G i f t
Shining Light

◈ M y s t i c C o d e
Taegan can produce light from their body that they can control for various purposes.

Light Blasts: Taegan can conjure and project focused blasts of intense light energy from their hands. These blasts are swift, precise, and capable of inflicting damage on their targets.

Protective Barriers: Taegan can create protective barriers composed of radiant light. These barriers act as a shield, blocking incoming attacks and providing a defensive layer of energy. The barriers can be molded and shaped to fit different forms and sizes, providing protection for themselves and others in their vicinity. These barriers can withstand a significant amount of damage, but their durability and strength depend on Taegan’s skill and concentration.

Illusions: Taegan possesses the ability to cast minor illusions using light energy. They can manipulate the play of light and shadow, creating illusions that confuse and deceive their enemies. Taegan can generate illusory copies of themselves or alter their appearance to appear differently, making it difficult for opponents to discern their true location or intentions.

Light Manipulation: Taegan possesses a deep understanding of light and its properties. They can manipulate and control light, altering its intensity, color, and direction. They can create dazzling displays of luminescence, projecting radiant beams, or shaping intricate patterns of light.

◈ L i m i t a t i o n s a n d W e a k n e s s e s

Vulnerability to Darkness: As a light-based elementalist, Taegan’s powers may be less effective or even nullified in environments with significant darkness or absence of light sources. Their ability to conjure light and manipulate it relies on existing sources or ambient light. In situations where light is scarce or completely absent, Taegan may face challenges in utilizing their abilities to their full potential.

Light Sensitivity: Taegan’s powers are intimately connected to light, and they have heightened sensitivity to extreme or intense sources of light. Excessive exposure to bright light sources can temporarily impair their vision or cause discomfort, potentially hindering their ability to focus or effectively utilize their abilities in overly illuminated environments.

Solar Dependence: In addition to using vitesse, Taegan’s powers are also dependent on the sun. They have to go in the sun regularly to recharge.
