A smug smile crosses Ember's lips as the young elf girl presents her ticket, then wordlessly moves past him toward the side of the ship, and the half-turned man in the wheelchair.
Unconsciously, he rubs the base of his jaw and twirls a finger in his long flowing red hair while quietly muttering to himself, still waiting for the ship's first officer to answer his 'very important' concerns about the voyage.
('oh my... you can FEEL the frost off THAT ONE... Oh, But you don't fool me little-one, I know you're a hottie deep down underneath all those tight fitting little rags.. Oh yes.. I DO wonder where she's headed..')

"Oh dear, the poor thing--- They really MUST put rails on these things!" coos Ember, as he tucks out the wand concealed under one of the half-sleeves of his gown, and gives it a mindless flick toward the man in the wheelchair, then just as nonchalantly, tucks it back again.
Obnoxiously flamboyant and billowing clouds of sparkles and mist coalesce under the errant wheel of the chair, lift it gently up on that side just above the surface of the gangplank, then nudge it back on before evaporating in the light breeze.
"Now, where were we?"

"Now, where were we?"
Characteristic of his 'over-the-top', and almost cliche manner, Ember practically glides down the loading dock toward the first mate. Gliding being a very apt term-- Long flowing streamers of white, gold and sea-blue colored silks twist and writhe in the air, while simultaneously almost luridly languishing suspended within it, as the willowy individual moves past. Small particles of light and shimmering bubbles burst into existence then vanish in a continuous dance about his legs and feet, producing a mirage appearance of a mermaid dancing atop the waves.
Closing in slowly on the first mate, he reaches into the skimpy front of his 'gown', (which is essentially topless, except for thin straps of silk that hold some half-sleeves to his person, which cover his fore arms, and connect to said flowing streamers-- revealing a milky white complexion that dazzles in contrast to the deeply tanned bodies of the dock workers and the ship's crew. Long, slightly wavy red-gold hair dazzles in the sun, suspended luridly in the air like the streamers, waves and bobs as he moves about as if suspended in water) and serenely passes a crisp, bright white ticket to the gentleman, while very conspicuously eying him up and down, then up, ... then down again.
"Hello there handsome;.. I take it everything has been taken care of? It would be MOST UNFORTUNATE if we got there, and I DIDN'T have my things!"
The grandiose gentleman places a wrist to his forehead and sighs loudly.
"I simply MUST look my BEST when I see this years' new crop of hotties-- Nothing else would do! No, not at all!"
[It should be pointed out, that people like Ember are precisely who give normal mages a bad reputation for being pompous, smug, and self-absorbed]
"And my cabin? I was PROMISED a cabin for this voyage! DO tell me all the accommodations are in order, my good man--"

The way I was operating, there are several styles of manipulating magic.
For instance, one may specialize in verbal incantation type invocation. Others, like ember, just 'feel' the magic all around them, and bend it with will power alone, but need a focusing object for larger scale influence. The fundamental nature of magic remains the same, but the way one accesses it may differ, be it based on skill, training, nature, or even just preference.
No matter the means used, there would be trade offs. An evoker type sorc, like my guy, can cast magic while gagged, but needs a focus to do much more than colored lights or making flames pop up on a finger tip. An incantation specialist needs only be able to speak to use magic, but is limited by the verbiage they know. Etc.
Presumably, the academy you go to will offer a universal curriculum, with aptitude testing, to help guide your educational experience, to reach your true potential, with educators and symposia from every major style, and researchers furthering advancement in the art for all major types.
Spiral Origin will make determinations as needed, but he tends to like things being open. That's why I went with this wider, more open view, and the specific types of limit for my char. He's an alumnus, and thus went through that educational system already; he knows how to practice magic on an expert level, but he's ON VACATION, and brought only a light duty focus. Left the big stuff at home. (And is thus hamstrung by circumstance, which is at spiral's discretion.) This wider view permits magic outside the box I painted, in a nearly limitless range of possibilities. Think about the strengths and weaknesses of your character, then go with the flow.

Name: "Ember"
Gender: "Technically Male"
Age: "Sweety, you know better than to ask!" (wink and hair flip)
Description: Willowy and lithe; Decidedly feminine proportions. Flawless skin and hair. Always dresses "Fabulous"
Bio: While technically an Alumni and Valordictorian of one of the more prestigious magical academies, "Ember" is not allowed to return after "The incident" that rankled more than a few feathers some years back. Is a powerful sorcerer in his own right, and is narcisistically attracted to people of similar degrees of power or prowess. Is very capable and resourceful, but ultimately solely motivated by his own internal opinions and beliefs. As a narcisist, he is his own higher power.
Purpose of travel: Transport/Vacation. Since having been banned from the academy, his only way to get near the "New Hotties" is when the academy has its spring inter-semester break; Customarily, the location is always a secret until the last week before end of term, and is always someplace exotic. Ember cashed in some favors to find out where it was this year, and booked passage.
Other info: Master of illusion, material manipulation, and magical combat. Sub-specialty in magical cosmetology, and magical compulsions. Narcisistic. Extremely limber and flexible.
Starting equipment:
Silver hand mirror
deluxe makeup & grooming kit
portable beverage dispenser (with built in magical chilling system) [essentially a thermos, keeps drinks cold]
luggage containing an unholy number of highly compacted clothing items
passport
spending money
light duty wand-style focus (instrument for directing magical intent, light duty, cannot accept high power magic)
