Also, its not uncommon for Mages and Familiars to marry one another. There is no stigma attached to being born either a mage or a familiar.
I meant by perhaps unsurprisingly like I was trying to say perhaps it is common.
@Gareth Most everything seems in order, could you perhaps elaborate on how your character got a scholarship and why he wants to attend the academy? Assuming his parents are not wealthy farmers. Which is possible, just not in the way described.
I have an idea.
Idea: His parents convinced many of the citizens of the towns around the academy to back Aaron for a scholarship. Because his parents are well known and trusted by those village people because of a relationship they have established with each other over years-a village rep. and Aaron parents went together to the academy to convince them of Aaron's scholarship worthiness and that the boy has great potential. Maybe Aaron had one great thing about him that the Academy people saw when they tested him to see if he was worthy of a scholarship.
Name:Aaron Fora Image or Description:Aaron has shoulder length, straight and dirty blonde hair. His features include: a long straight nose, light blue eyes, small ears and particularly noticeable from the side of his face is his strong jaw line. Aaron's complexion is very fair skin, like almost white in color, except for his face that has tanned and burned in the sun, over time allowing it to darken slightly compared to the rest of him.
Aaron's body is slender except perhaps for his shoulders as they have broadened as he has grown into his teenage years. He doesn't have any particularly noticeable muscles on his arms, legs or stomach. His arms look fairly long, but its his legs that make up much of his height of 5'8". His feet are rather long though and he wears men's size eleven shoes.
Aaron also has a scar on the lower portion of his chest that goes straight up and down.
His clothing is a variety of sweaters that vary in color in winter or long sleeves in summer that also vary in color. For pants Aaron wears sweatpants or jeans depending on where he is going. Aaron prefers boots to shoes as boots are bigger and more 'imposing.'
Aaron weighs 160lbs. Age:16 Gender:Male Orientation:Straight Mage or Familiar:Familiar Magic Type: (Leave this blank until you are accepted. If you're a Familiar, omit this entirely) Ability: (Leave this blank until you are accepted. If you're a Mage, omit this entirely) Known Spells: (Leave this blank until you are accepted. If you're a Familiar, omit this entirely) Partner: (Leave this blank until your partner is announced) Personality:He's very insecure as a person and it shows in how he acts. From a distance he will notice when people do things that he condemns as stupid or reckless. Yet he has the opportunity to say something to them, then and there, and he refuses to do so. Aaron is afraid that they will be angry with him, not agreeing with how they do things. Thus it would be true to say that Aaron is lacking in confidence.
When he is with people who are friends or people he is 'forced to be around' like coworkers or classmates he constantly fools around with them. Like blocking his class mate by standing in their way and then when they look at him funny he would laugh nervously to cover up that he is embarassed that they didn't understand his joke.
One of his strongest qualities is Aaron's honesty, and if he is asked a question by somebody, even if they wouldn't like the answer they are asking for, Aaron would still tell them that answer. Even if he added the "Not to be rude, but..." in a quiet voice before the answer in a hope to have not have the person offended afterwards.
If in a time of crisis Aaron would allow his instinct or what his heart felt to take over and decide what to do for him. He doesn't know why he doesn't think through crises. He will often be overcome with thoughts and emotions after a crisis has passed and that is when his body slows down and listens to his brain.
Very simply Aaron is not an outgoing guy and it takes him a reason for extra motivation in order to step out of his shell. It would also take reason or extra motivation for Aaron to meet people to one day god forbid for Aaron to 'Show off' in front of others. Biography:Aaron lives in the countryside, or farmland in the southeast of Prydain. His parents are both farmers who long supported the academy since attending it by selling crops to the school as well as the villages neighbouring the institution. Perhaps unsurprisingly his father is a mage and his mother is a familiar and ever since Aaron was a young kid they have always told him stories of their experiences with magic and learning.
The only thing with living on a farm like Aaron did was that you learned hard work with long hours. The boy tended the land, the animals and the house. The house especially to make it spotless, lest his mother or father come back from selling stuff at the marketplace to find their son had left the place in dissaray while he instead twiddled his thumbs.
Aaron spent his first year in the academy with difficulty. The classes were hard to begin with, but gradually became easier as he realized, "yes I can do this." Aaron gravitated towards science and painting finding that the classes appealed to his emotions in different ways. The volatile nature of chemistry and wild experiments made the science classroom very exciting, while in the art room Aaron was able to relax and doodle whatever strange things his mind made a picture of.

Points:10 Proficiency:1 Intelligence:3 Athletics:6 Misc.:He once dressed up as a robot using painted cardboard boxes as his costume. Quiz Answers:
1. What is your character's greatest regret?
Wishing he could have stopped his dog from running in front of an oncoming car.
2. Your character is home alone after watching a horror movie and they hear a strange sound. What do they do?
Turn the tv off and lock all the doors down, and only then after locking himself inside his bedroom with the covers drawn up over his head in the fetal position does he tries to tell himself, "It wasn't anything to worry about, it was n-n-n-nothing."
3. Two of your characters’ friends are fighting over something trivial, and they want them to stop. How do they go about this?
If you are asking how would my friends stop fighting with each other?
I would say they would realize that each other are simply saying the same thing over and over and that the arguement is going nowhere. So I'd believe in their wisdom to realize how foolish their arguement was and that would be how my friends would end the argument.
If you are asking me how I would stop my friends fighting over something trivial?
Well I would ask them to stop fighting even if it upset them because the pain of them, my friends fighting is worth earning their potential ire. If my friends won't stop after asking them to stop I'd stand there and wait patiently for either their motivation to fight to run out or their exhaustion level to rise to give them no choice but to ceasefire. Whichever came first.
4. While your character is on their way to class, they realize they forgot something crucial. They’re already on the verge of running late. What do they do?
He would run back for the stuff, allowing him to at least be prepared for class even if he was super late.
5. If your character had the opportunity to turn into any animal, what would that animal be?
That animal would be a bear.
6. If your character’s house were on fire, and they only had time to save one thing from their room, what would it be?
His favourite mystery book.
7. What season does your character like best and why?
Summer. The sunshine feels great on his face and the heat from the sky allows him to have an early morning hair wash and after combing his hair, Aaron can comb his hair, walking outside to let nature be his hairdryer.
8. Vacation! You character gets to spend a week anywhere! Where is it and what do they do?
I'm at work from Mon-Thursday from 9am to 8:30 pm so it's rare for me to post on those four days. I'll try tonight but no promises. I have tomorrow afternoon off though :3
Holy crepes, 9am to 8:30pm, hope you like your job.
