Magic:
Magic Level: A
History:
Personality: Without question, Nicodemus’s most prominent personality trait is his ego. This is true whether it manifests itself in his “vengeful monarch” or “noble champion” modes. Though capable of kindness and fairness, he’s usually impulsive and overconfident, with little regard for the consequences of his actions.

Magic:
Tattoo Magic - Nicodemus's body can generate tattoos on a whim, producing many runic tattoos that enhance his body and magic. Most tattoos are temporary but there are few that are etched permanently:
- Rune of Strength: Placed on various key points of the human body, the runes make his muscles stronger and faster.
- Rune of Fortitude: Runic arrays painfully carved onto his bones develops the density up to staggering levels helping it become incredibly resistant to force.
- Rune of Life: Engraved onto his very heart, granting him endurance and vitality that would be difficult to challenge.
- Rune of Lightning: A series of runic tattoos, at the base of the skull, triples the reaction rate by superconducting the neural system.
Rune Mastery - Possessing a prodigious knowledge of most known runic languages, Nico can utilise multiple runic circles and arrays to accomplish various feats of magic:
- Barriers: The overall durability of these barriers depends on the quality and complexity of the runes, on a whim using his Tattoo Magic he can block blows from conventional weapons with ease. With a pre-prepared runic array magic can withstand most high-level magic.
- Seal: Able to seal away inanimate objects for later use, or in the case of high-grade seals the same for attacks. Often Nico would seal away his opponent's attacks, using his tattoos on his own body.
- Limited Elemental Magic: There are runic symbols for all five main elements; fire, wind,lightning water and earth. Nico, using his extensive knowledge of runes can employ these elements (his affinity with each is weaker in the line of order: left to right) through the use of many runic tattoos across his body, even allowing for some combination attacks. However he is easily taxed using it and his control over the elements pales in comparison with a magic user who specialises with the elemental affinity.
Imperial Eye - Hereditary eye magic granting abilities that has been passed down through the royal Flamel bloodline, which is unlocked and activated after chanting an incantation. Far more taxing on his stamina to use than either Tattoo Magic or Runes.
- King’s Sacred Commandment: Any form of Caster magic is able seen as ‘colored strands’ of intent shaping the magic and the ethernano powering it. With this ability Nico can discern different types of Caster magic with just a glance and even snap the link between intent and ethernano which causes the magic to cease be. Though this is only possible within the range of his perception and the higher level a magic is, the more strands that are needed to be broken and therefore more energy and time is expended doing so.
- King’s Divine Judgement: Requiring direct eye-to-eye contact, the Imperial Eye can judge whether or not a person is innocent. For the guilty it induces an illusion where they relive the torment and terror they have inflicted onto others. This ability can be effectively resisted by the strong-willed or the insane.
- King’s Transcendant Blade: Requiring the full recital of the complete verse of incantation, it can call upon a giant building-sized sword, named 'Ea' "The Sword That Cut the World Apart", to fall from the skies onto a selected area. The impact is devastating, shaping the very earth with its power, making sure to leave nothing behind in its wake. The use of such magic leaves him completely spent of magic for a whole day.
Magic Level: A
History:
In the midst of the power vacuum the dragons left, two noble families climbed to positions of power together, bringing order and peace to the aftermath of the Dragon King Festival. The Fiore family worked with the Flamels until the matter of the crown came into question, at first Nicodemus's ancestor was agreed upon to be ruler but then on the coronation day was slain by his Fiore comrades and his family was banished.
Five hundred years into the present and after the rise and fall of the Black Wizard, magic being forced into hiding, the subsequent hunting for magic, and countless assassination attempts, the last remaining direct descendant of the Flamel bloodline has been born into the world without lands or wealth and after a gruesome childbirth; parents. Even centuries after a broken promise there are still men loyal to the name though not for noble reasons, the faceless men that have taken on the newly-named Nicodemus Flamel are more than displeased with how magic is regarded in this time and age and wish to manipulate him to become their own puppet king. But they would be foolish to think a child with an old name would be enough to regain his rightful seat of power, they had hidden far from the eyes of the world and hired the best of tutors; educating him in languages, sciences, mathematics, politics, combat and most especially magic.
With time he grew into a man worthy of the title that is rightfully his and with that the men who took him in offered up a piece of parchment left to him from his dying mother. On it were scant remnants of his Family Words:
I am the Soul of the King
My blood is royal
And my soul is noble
Seeking what is rightfully mine
I shall transcend existence
And ascend to my divine throne
For I am the King of the Soul
With these words uttered Nico had brought upon divine judgement among the conclave of liars and manipulators, seeing them for who they really are. Uncovering their true intentions and in his rage, he had summoned Ea from the skies and demolished their stronghold to bits. As exhausted and deprived of magic he was then, with little time before the authorities would come to investigate he fled the scene, off into the shadows to rest and recover.
Now Nicodemus Flamel is set on a journey to reclaim his rightful throne through his own power. What shall lay on his path to do so?
