You call it laziness, I call it self care
24 | Male | Ternish | Royalty | 9.9
Character Appearance
This man who stands at the apex of magic, a giant within the advancements of the fusion of magic and technology, and a demon on the battlefields stands at an astounding 5 foot 3. Yet do not let his stature and his youthful look fool you, he is a man who has fought men easily double his own size in hand-to-hand combat and take on mages far beyond his years. His body is may look soft, but it harbors the skills of a trained warrior.
His stature is very telling to his looks, he has a very youthful appearance, with a soft face and large beautiful blue eyes that look like giant sapphires. Many often mistake him for a younger boy and often think of him being a student on the grounds of Ersand'Enise. Yet they normally get a rude awakening when they realize the Demon of Ternis looked like a boy and not like the 30-ish-year-old man they expected.
Description
Liam Leone is known within the world as a true prodigy and is considered a once-in-a-lifetime Mage. Master of the 5 Pillars of magic, the Golden Child, the Demon of Ternis, and the Mage of Prophecy, he was born with unapparelled power with the Gift. Yet among his long list of achievements, sublime talents, and unapparelled mind that has made his small nation advanced decades, he's a lazy teacher.
Liam was never one to like being in the spotlight, he never wished to have been in such a situation, all he's ever wanted to do is lead a life where he could do what he pleased. Mastering magic, creating new discoveries, and doing leisurely activities like making music, poems, and writing. Yet in his small nation that is found in the smack dab center of conflicts, his royal obligation was to make sure his home would not come to ruins. Being the third child of the Leone Royal family gave him the royal obligation of possibly being fodder for war, yet something truly strange occurred, when his eyes opened the lights almost began to dim. As his brilliant blue eyes seemed to almost outshine everything in the bright room. As Prophecies were told that he would be the savior of Ternis, that he was the child who would give them peace.
In his younger years, he learned everything he could, he had an insatiable appetite for knowledge, he understood concepts beyond his years, and from a single glance, he was able to pick up on skills. He sought out new things, skills, and objects of interest, as once he was told/understood the idea of the Gift, he began practicing magic. Within years, he understood what took many decades if not a lifetime to understand and do. At the age of 14, he was already sparring, training against, and defeating fully grown men, knights, and mages. His teachers saw something akin to a demon, ever-learning, changing, and adapting. Yet soon enough his teacher was not just skilled mentors, but skilled killers in war. As the Crimson war began, a war was waged between Ternis and surrounding kingdoms. They wished to have squashed Ternis, whom at the time was quickly becoming a serious kingdom that could properly stabilize, rather than being just a buffer against some of the other nations nearby.
Ternis is a land rich in many resources, minerals, ores, and many other resources a lucky nation could find useful. So wars are normally an often occurrence, yet Ternis has often gotten out of them through diplomatic negotiations, quick skirmishes that Ternis wins through clever tactics and understanding of the land, and wars of attrition that made the conquest less than favorable. Yet at Liam's 16th year of age, it seemed like those around Ternis wanted them gone. As an all-out war was held, Liam was the first to take the mantle. As the next 2 years were a testament to his true skills and talents, as he single-handedly changed the Winds of Fate. His kingdom should have been squashed underneath the weight of an army much larger than itself, yet his skills in and out of combat made it where the fate of his little country was changed.
As the next 3 years had made the name of the Child of Prophecy or the Demon of Ternis, Liam had used every trick his mind could have ever made. Unconventional warfare, underhanded tactics, and overwhelming power. What Ternis couldn't make up in numbers, Liam made up in power. As he had coined the idea of using magic and technology together, Ternis had begun arming their soldiers with weapons and items that had preloaded and sealed spells. Giving their soldiers a higher quality over their enemies, yet this wasn't as simple as loading a sword with a spell that would consume itself. This was making interchangeable gemstones, fixtures, and adornments that would be loaded with spells essential to increasing the potency of their army. Yet these items had an interesting property, they could be used more than once, as when the spell is used, the item is not consumed. The item just needed to be filled with enough energy before the spell could be used again, yet there is a problem.
Most people are unable to draw naturally and most have such abysmal RAS scores that it would not matter, but that does not matter here. Liam formed an original spell: Magic Siphon, this allowed for a more passive drawing method through 3 different methods. The first is heat energy like that from fire, under the hot sun, or bundled up next to or underneath someone. The next is kinetic energy as that of the item being in motion, gets jostled about, and or when collides with another object. Then the final is that of static/electric energy, this can come from stray electricity that is in the air, when in a lightning storm and electricity is in the air and making your hair stand on end, or when 2 pieces of wool are rubbed together and have a static charge. Now with this, all the user needed to do is make sure they are able to keep their weapon charged through one of these methods: Letting it be near or in a fire for a while, fighting for a little bit before the weapon can use it's spell again, or be neat a magnetic mage for long enough. But what is a battlefield but a mess of fighting with fire and heat flying, people using their weapons and moving around a lot, and stray electricity filling the atmosphere. This invention had made the quality of their army increase greatly, with it nearly making every soldier on the battlefield a pseudo-mage.
Liam headed this project and even began developing weapons in secret while he was not heading combat. As he had created what he called, Demonsbane, a cannon that could be filled with energy from multiple different people to create the same results one Prodigy mage could produce. Yet Demonsbane was not named because it could just do that, he named it that because he wanted it to be able to take the power of an atomic mage and be able to quickly produce the spell Cataclysm or Godsbane, that could be fire then using the skills of the atomic mage to concentrate the energy into the proper spell while using the mass-energy of multiple mages, or even a small army of mages. When this cannon was first unveiled, it was first targeted by Magusjeagers in hopes to defeat it quickly, yet everyone understood this, so it was well protected, and when it was fired once almost gave up on the spot realizing that Ternis had pulled out a weapon able to wipe out armies and cities within a short time.
It took a few more uses and overwhelming defeats for this war to end. Led to the name of Liam Leone to fill the area, painting as some kind of war god, a devil who creates miracles, and a Child of Legends who could shape the new age the world never could imagine, at the ripe old age of 19.
After this Liam dedicated himself to furthering his own Kingdom, ushering in a new age, using magic to help the very lives of everyone in Ternis. May it come from the lowliest of farmers to the most prestigious of Nobles, Liam's magical items filled everyday lives. Many have asked why doesn't every country have something akin to this? Well, the answer is easy, Liam is the sole reason this can happen. Liam is the genius who invented and created the process, he even sells it to other nations, and often they tried to reverse engineer the items and processes, but it would be the same thing as trying to reverse engineer a smithed sword. You can see the craftsmanship, the edge, and even figure out what material, but you will never understand the inner workings without knowing the smelts, the forging, and the quenching.
Soon enough he became a prominent figure in making his own Kingdom strong against outside aggression, his older brother, the ruler of their kingdom, and himself began a long campaign to forge alliances with other nations, diplomatic dealings, neutrality pacts, and alliances. As once Liam had reached the age of 22, his Kingdom was safe and prospering he now wished to find something new. The boring life he now has does not feed his wishes to learn and innovate, as he was offered a position as a teacher in Ersand'Enise, which came with a measly pay in comparison to what he was used to, but what they didn't give in money, they gave in knowledge. Liam began his work at Ersand'Enise, as he began his many research discoveries, and soon enough forgot he was even a teacher. Many times he had been pulled out of his lab to teach the new students of Ersand'Enise, yet found no motivation in it. After 2 years in Ersand'Enise, he even began to lose his spark. Nothing seems to have that same joy it once had, nothing here ever pushed the fold, no one pushed the envelope, the knowledge here was also so restricted that what he had access to was easily consumed within a year(Most would take decades even if they could consume it within a lifetime).
Now Liam lives his life as a teacher in Ersand'Enise, there is nothing that interests him. His teaching methods are, unconventional, to say the least. He has many rules: a dress code that few know about, more often than not it is based upon the weather. Such as shorts and shirt day when it is hot, on nice days fancy dress days, and if he really isn't feeling it that day, it's robes day(which is just his blanket, but nobody questions it). Some of his other rules are: Don't bother me after class if you want extra credit bring me food if you are to bother me after calls bring a bottle of wine and if you comment about my height prepare to be shorter than me for the week. His teaching in the classes is quite unique, often it can be some of the most insightful lessons you could find, with the intelligence of a genius, and the understanding of a sage he can explain a concept 100 times in 100 different ways. However other days he likes to call: Reflection of the inner self and the mana within you, better known as self-study days. These days he mostly lies about and everyone is expected to talk to each other and learn from each other, or what he does the day for people just to relax. And on a few of his off days he does whatever he chooses, may it be Binding, Arcane, Chemical, or even Magnetic. These days no matter what the planned idea was, he will teach those in his care the ever so fun lessons on how to be more flexible. Learning many different skills, and sometimes he will even teach martial arts for self-defense, how to make things with magic, and if he is really feeling spicy, he will teach whatever his class wishes to learn that day. If they want to learn Blood Magic, they will learn Blood Magic for a whole 5 minutes before he realizes he could lose his job if he was to teach it. Yet anything else is fine.
