Bio:
Alvar is a Travelling Scholar, aspiring to become both a great thinker and a master of a magic - Sage.
When almost all kids were playful spirits and always stayed outside, he was different. Alvar was a loner, didn't liking anyone's presence, he had no fun in these kinds of activities, always opting for a book. But these were never a mere storybooks. These were books that told about Legends and heroes, as well as books detailing anatomy, chemical reactions, geography, physics, other races, cultures, different theories, and even magic - How is it weaved, and how you can manipulate it. His eyes were shining like illuminated sapphires. Since then he vowed to travel the world and learn everything his mind could handle. To become a legend among his race, and maybe among all living things.
He joined the school at age of 8 - Two years younger than any other student. He passed the test without a problem and soon joined First class. Year after it wasn't so bright, that's when problems started. His father studied hard. He wasn't as gifted as his son, and he consumed a lot of money for that cause. Financial situation of family was greatly below average. There was barely enough money to cover school expenses for both Alvar and his dad and for food. Mother worked someties sixteen hours, coming back home she had some food nd then often collapsed from exhaustion. Soon she fallen ill and couldn't work, giving aother porblem - medical bills. Alvar was starving. He couldn't sometimes concentrate or stay awake. To add things up, he was often bullied by older ones from his class. teachers as well as headmaster elped him out by funding him meals and supported family.
But one day changed the life forever. His father undergone a test - Trial of OLearning. Should he pass it, the whole situation would change. Alvar crossed his fingers as hard as he could. But father gave no signs of life. Everyone were worried, and people started to cruelly say, that he never had a chance to become one. When all hope was lost and boy was sad, events taken other turn - His father stepped out of poprtal with a Mystic Seal, but soon collapsed. He passed the test and was welcomed amongst Elite ranks of Royal Scholarly. Since then, situation got better. Family could repay the debts, afford the medication and purchase of good quality books nd various equipment, as well as best studies for Alvar. 5 years later greatest thing just happened. Now 15 years old Alvar's devotion to study and learning earned him a tilte of "Prodigious Scholar" - A title only few got in the whole history of Rahjani. Ruler wanted to keep Alvar in the country, as his mind would prove useful in reasearch.
But Alvar wanted other Destiny. At age of 12 he began to secretly practice magic with headmaster and few Oracles, who seen great potential in his ever expanding mind. He undergone various tests- How fast he could weave Ether on appretinice level, how fast he could distort it and taint it with other elements. His first tries weren't greatests, but he had potntial of 20 years old Rahjani. He kept practicing casting spells by various methods. Drawing Ether to himself with deep concentration, singing, usage of enchanted instruments, drawing Glyphs and Sigils, chanting various Incantations and Mantras, performing various gestures, and even using words in other language. It took him long, but he decided to use a mixture of them all. Oracles were pleased with results. They gifted him with small, runic pouch to carry different things such as Crystal Dusts, little instruments and magical essences. Soon without a problem he was able to cast few basics spells. With that he prepared for what could happen in five years.
At age of 17 he stood before the Ruler of the city... But no longer he was only a Scholar. He was now Prodigious Sorcerer. He turned down Leader's plea to stay in there. But the Head of the Rahjani blessed him instead. He knew what he wanted to do, and wished him luck on doing so. Alvar decided to descend upon Earth to study new things, as Heavens had no secret he didn't knew about. His expanding mind needed a new plane to increase his knowledge, test and master spells he knows, and conduct research on new ways of casting spells, newer, more powerful spells, and new catalysts to make these stronger. He was given a powerful illusion, so he resembled around 185cm tall man with tanned skin and spiky hair. Under the name of "Marco" he stepped down, and joined University in Haven Marine. In two years he quit. He learned all he could, and all teachers combined were opening their eyes wide and often sat at desks embarassed, as he led lessons himself, telling the facts even they didn't knew and simply teaching the teachers. He disappeared then wihtout a sign, wandering through the streets, living from what people gave him for individual teaching.
When he reached age of 18, he was gifted with Travelling Scholar Attire Quite comfy and protective outfit, as well as a Grimoire - traditional gift for each Rahjani, A Telescopic Spear, which he coud hide in the robe, and Enchanted Glasses. With those he discovered, that his keen sight amplified with right tool could allow him to learn about various details of enviroment and living things, as well as their weaknesses without big usage of books. Thus he learned the Piercing Sight. All the information he gathered was instantly written in Grimoire.
A month after he left university, bad omens began. people disappearing, various unnatural things happening... Alvar set out to discover the cause. His heart beating with excitement. More knowledge to gather and a polygon to test the magics he wielded, though each time when he thought about it, he knew he would be risking his own life and existence. Nevrthless it was set...
Powers/Abilities:
Abilty - Piercing Sight : Requires Glasses. Looks at enemy with his keen eyes through enchanted glasses. Draws an Ethereal Sigil in the air. Enemy takes little Ether damage, while sigil shows information about him/her and adds one temporary weakness to element they normally resist. Next physical strike deals bonus damage and ignores protections. Sigil shows informations in Rajhani language - Only heavenly can read it. With further progression of story everyone will be able to read it, and it will be written automatically in his grimoire.
As Each Rahjani he can levitate. But his power allows to do it indefinitely, although he can raise off the ground up to 1,5m.
Additionaly he can cast basic Ether, Holy and Earth spells :
Ether Pulse (Spherical centered blast releasing energy, which can be set off with other spell to create chain reaction)
Holy Arc (which can be extended up to 360° to hit every enemy around him)
Earthen Ball (mortar esque bolt of energy, explodes on impact with ground)
For some advanced spellcasting he uses Gem Dust stored in pouch, and with it he draws circles to allow stronger incantations. Additionaly these dusts (Especially Onyx dust) can be used as thrown weapon that deals little damage BUT supresses magic in the target, and these can be detonated with any spell to cause various ailments.
His keen vision can't be clouded - He cannot be blinded. And he has some physical power, although not greatest, but enough to protect.
Weaknesses: As each Rahjani, he is weak against Ice and Wind. Especially when levitating, Wind can easily throw him on ground make him open for a finisher. But he can rarely manage to continue levitation, but will not be able to cast spells for a short while. He is additionaly susceptible to Darkness (He had nightmares of being consumed by darkness, and it took it's toll on the body), but not as much as to other elements.
