Well, I'm going to work on the OP and we'll probably start tomorrow.

Hey guys, just letting everyone know I'm still on board. Got wrapped up in the elections yesterday but now I can get back to business and hopefully have a CS up soon.

@malmshodes

Sounds good. I've been in a constant state of rage since last night - haven't slept.

@Tojin Sounds good to me. Make those edits and you're good.

@Tojin I'll accept that water has less effect on him than other wizards. As far as point 2 goes - My point is that you should have him act in some official capacity because the Wardens aren't going to ask him for help because the White Council is overconfident in their own power and would never ask a lone agent. With the combat portion, I've got no problem either way - just thought there should be more support spells than damaging spells if he's gonna be in a supporting role.

@Tojin I'm not sure. I know that I don't want him to just ignore the grounding effect water has on magic, I'd rather that be an obstacle for him than an advantage. Also, the Wardens aren't really fans of including outsiders in their parties. A third point is that you say that he's primarily for support but the prevailing effect his example spells have is aggro - I'd be fine with him being a combat wizard. What are your thoughts on the criticism?

Melvus Garth

Name: Melvus Garth

Age: 146

Gender: Male

Class/Faction: Wizard of the White Council

Background: Melvus was born as William Stainton in mid-1800s England. He has since called himself Melvus in order to conceal his name for fear of someone using it against him. He’d been orphaned at thirteen when his parents were killed and reanimated by a necromancer. They were practitioners but didn’t really have much as far as power went. The black wizard hadn’t been targeting them because of their talent, it was a mere coincidence. He doesn't remember how he got away, but he suspects that there was a supernatural hand in it.

Melvus had worked in a factory for several years before the White Council discovered him and assigned him to Gregory Dover, an Evocator and a Warden of the White Council. Wizard Dover helped Garth along his way to finding what school he’d follow.

After discerning that Melvus didn’t have much in the way of will to through around they’d decided that he couldn’t use any sort of evocation or other flashy sort of magic, or non assisted will-based magic, so he decided that he’d follow enchanting and alchemy. Alchemy had won out as his favorite and he pursued that, later earning a doctorate in analytical chemistry.

Melvus is a distinguished member of the White Council. He’s sure that he’s still a long way from the Senior Council but has his hopes up for the future.

Personality: Melvus is a standard wizard. He’s easy to anger, he’s not very patient for others and he’s kind of a loner. He’ll spend days at a time, without sleep, in the lab brewing potions and trying new things. This doesn’t mean that he’s a grumpy guy… well maybe it does. But he’s usually polite, at least to start off with… this isn’t really helping the image. Oh well.

Magic Type(s):

- Master Alchemist
- Kinetomancy

Equipment:

- Willow Staff
- Alchemic supplies
- Enchanted sack - larger on the inside
- Two enchanted gloves
-The right glove acts as an additional focus for offensive Kinetomancy
-The left glove acts as a focus for defensive Kinetomancy
- Plain old woolen long coat and hooded robes (depending on the situation).

@malmshodes Branches, but you can include individual spells if you want.

@KiltmanBagz Accepted

Also, I realize that I didn't include an appearance section - go ahead and use a picture or a description if you guys didn't already.

I'll be home in just a bit - I'll read more into the questions when I get there.
