Moral Conflict
Vayne was a studious mage, the gift of the arcane was more a part of his soul than anything, in life and now he searches for the mysteries of the world, at any cost, no matter who he has to kill, blackmail, or steal from. Vayne is the menace that most colleges hated, he cannot let an object of his curiosity go and will drain anyone or anything to find it. Magic is his soul, and he would feed the flames as much as he can.
Physical Description
Vayne has pale skin from his years of study and living by candlelight alone, his raven hair dangles just above his shoulders, and his reddish brown eyes have a piercing quality to them. The man stands only five foot ten inches and is seemingly gaunt. Vayne always wears the same things, a dark blue cloak with silver trim, as well as the standard pants and shirt of the college of Vycine. Covering his body are the scars of numerous magical experiments that he has conducted upon himself, lines and mystic patterns clearly meant to unlock some greater magic, every one he bears with pride.
Personality Traits
As of being revived, Vayne has become more or less an advocate for the practical use and application of magic and magical items, his fascination with magic leads him to follow any mysterious magical anomaly. He seems kind and respectful, always trying to assist in some way, however always trying to do it with magic.
Should his memory return to him, his demeanor won't be overtly different, he may tend to be more obsessive over magical sources, he may become agressive with people that try to hold him back or prevent magic from being used. However Vayne is not a monster, he wants everyone to see him as a powerful mage and that is all, even if he has to kill a few naysayers to convince you.
Attributes
Sorcerous intent - Vayne was an adept mage in life, and as such has access to magic and the ability to cast them.
Pure Product - Vayne doesn't deal in elemental magic, his skill is in soul based magic, and anti-magic.
A Beautiful Mind - Vayne is as intelligent as one would expect a mage to be, mathmatics and memorization are no issue for this one.
Inventory & Equipment
Glimpse of the Soul - Vaynes magical focus, a faceted glass orb that reflects many reflections of the gazer within.
Vycine Standard - A large tome, filled with his notes from his travels and studies. Curious... the journal section is missing.
Vycine Crest - A pendant of the Vycine academy, a Lion with a gem set in its chest.
Gift of Rebirth
A Fractured Soul - Vaynes gift is one that both defies and completes him, a chance to learn more, He can sacrifice a portion of his own magical power, a fraction of his soul and give it to another, giving them access to the knowledge of one of his spells, however when he takes the fraction back, he gains the memories created by the person while they held his soul. This power has limits and great consequences, he can only give so much of his soul before becoming brain dead, this is dictated by his current strength, at the time of awakening he can only share a single shard. The amount of knowledge he gains is also a threat, more than a days worth of knowledge gained will shock his system and debilitate his casting ability for the remainder of the next day.
