Name: Alek Personas
Age: 19
Type of Mage: Specialist
Favorite school of magic: Summoning
Description: Alek is a tall man with short spiky silver hair. His eyes are a deep blue, and his facial features are that of a calm, but loyal and fierce man. He wears a loose shiny blue and gold vest over his black alpacha wool T-Shirt. He wears light grey pants with silver armor protecting the knees.
History: Alek was born Aleksandr Thiiker to his parents 19 years ago. But even as they named him this, they realized they were too poor to take care of him. Strong magical strength ran in there family, however, and after they abandoned him he soon got lucky. At the age of one he stumbled upon a rusty iron bolt. Like any child would do, he began to study it. As he did so, he felt something touch him. As he did so, a minor being of the Aether came through what looked like a spark of golden fire in the center of the bolt. It offered him food, as luck would have it it was a being of maternity. She took care of him for the first ten years of his life. He grew up fascinated by this, and by the age of three he tried to do it again. He tried concentrating on it for ten minutes, a remarkable time for someone his age, but never got it. But as he was ready to give up, he found a circle chalked onto the ground by another spirit summoner. He looked at it in hatred for a second, wishing he could do it again, and suddenly he felt a connection, and light splashed through the circle, a small spirit of the likeness of a winged scorpion floating there. After he asked it to leave it disappeared (as all spirits are forced to, he soon would learn) and he tried again. This time, having just done it recently, he was able to contact the Aether just enough to summon another into the circle. From then on out he always carried his rusty bolt with him on a chain around his neck. Nowadays he uses a circle in the shape of a snake biting it's own head, but it is the same concept. He uses this trinket to specialize in summoning, as the memories of his past summonings that saved his life still burn within circles. He practiced summoning until the age of ten, when the spirit was forced to leave because he had been mad and dismissed her. And because he did not know her name, he could not summon her again. He used the summoning of spirits from the Aether for three more years to survive, but then learned of another thing. He accidentally reached too low when attempting to touch the Aether, and instead contacted the Nether. The Demon he summoned out of there tried to kill him, but he summoned a spirit of water known as Aquarius who defended him. Since then he has studied so many books of memorable spirits that he could have listed more than anyone else. He also experimented himself with summoning new ones. He knows many, many spirits, some of which his good friends with. He has tried to control spirits from the Nether, but always they have ignored what he said and attacked him. At 15 he was finnaly found by the guild of pyromancy, who seeing his talent at summoning, sent him to the guild of summoning, he was by far their best apprentice, but he still gained quite a bit of knowledge by the time he ventured out on his own. His closest friend, a sorcerer named Arden who was just here for a year, helped him with his experiments into the nether. When he arrived, he didn't really know his name, so he combined what little he remembered of his name "Alek" and a particularly powerful spirit of identity "Personas".
Personality: Alek is a loyal friend to all he meets. He is always smiling, even in a fight if he's convinced it will help the world. He is curious about everything he doesn't know, and thus has learned more than the average man. He considers himself a friend to all he summons, and would never keep a spirit in his posession unnesecarily unless it wanted to be there.
I may post Arden soon as well.

 

Name: Haru Kenta

Gender: Male

Age: 28

Type of Mage: Sorcery

Favorite School: Art of Summoning (With a secondary being Construction)

Description: Haru is a Broad shouldered man, who constantly wears a very detailed, Black and Silver Cloak. To keep his sleeves from getting in his hands, he wraps a peice of cloth around his wrists, closing off the opening in the sleeve. He has a middle aged face, with a goatee. His hair is Golden brown, with a kind of shine to it. He keeps it combed back, and is wrapped in the back into a short pony tail.

History: Haru joined when he was about 17, and has stuck around since. He has always had problems getting around people, so he, sub-consciously, chose to specialize in Summoning. He has become friends with the monsters he summons, so that they can fight side by side with more ease.

Personality: He is not very outgoing, but he very friendly and ready to learn something new. He doesn't get close to people very well, and often stays to himself, but when there is work to be done, he is reliable enough to get it done without fear of failure.

I hope I'm not to late, the rp sounds very interesting.

Edit: We talked it over, and Gannon was fine with me switching to Sorcery instead of Instant, So I added a secondary as well to the type of school. I hope that is ok.

 

^ Ughgh... I just chose to specialize in summoning. I would appreciate it if you could choose a different one, but you don't HAVE to.

 

Oh, I think you forgot something: I'm not a circle mage. I'm a specialized. I don't actually use it like a circle mage does, I just keep it around as the memories help boost my power like the trinkets you mentioned in the descriptions. It was the same with the iron bolt. Also, is it OK if Alek eventually gains the power to summon monsters from the Nether as well as Aether? They aren't more powerful or anything, they just are different. And I didn't guess, I read it.

 

aw man someone beat me with the necromany. is it ok if i use it too or do i have to pick something else??

 

Aight, I think I got this:
Name: Gryphon (No last name)
Age: 46
Type of Mage: Sorcery
Favorite School: Summoning, Construction, and Necromancy are his favorites, but as you can guess, he isn't very skilled in the other arts (but can use them to an extent).
Description:
Looks pretty good for his age, doesn't he?
History: Gryphon joined the guild at the age of 35 and is one of the guild's senior members. He doesn't talk about his past, but it is by no means secret. At the impresionable age of 9, his village was destroyed by the creatures Criso summoned. Homeless and an orphan, he was taken in by an old man who also happened to be a member of the guild, and taught him the arts of sorcery (He is dead now). He enjoys the arts of Construction, Necromancy, and Summoning because as a young boy, they gave him company. Now a senior himself, he summons the creatures for their council rather than having a playmate. His most summoned creature is a little ball of fur with two huge eyes, no limbs, and a massive apetite. This ball of fur was affectionately named 'Fuzzly' when he was a child and the name has stuck. Fuzzly is about the size of one's head, brown fur, massive (and cute) black eyes, and when he eats, he has teeth unmatched in their sharpness, and thus he can eat almost anything. When Fuzzly does eat something, it just seems to disappear. Fuzzly is easily Gryphon's best friend.
Personality: Being one of the oldest living members, Gryphon acts something of a father-figure to the others and is also almost always the mediator when an argument arises. Fuzzly is innocent, can get quite angry if pushed far enough, but is kind and caring, often offering to share a meal with someone (usually it is something a human can't eat).

 

Second Character:
Name: Arden Blitzwalker
Age: 18
Type of mage: Sorcerer
Favorite school: Pyromancy, but also uses quite a bit of Thaumaturgy.
Description: http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs14/f/2007/098/1/7/Fire_mage_by_devrimkunter.jpg only he wears leather armor.
History: Arden started working across all the magical guilds training as a sorcerer at the age of 8. He started with Pyromancy, in which he nearly failed. He repeated that class 3 times, and finally, on the third, succeeded with outstanding grades. He then took a year in each guild, training in their subject. He had always hated the idea of summoning something that didn't want to be here, so he saved summoning for last. He noticed a natural talent for thaumaturgy, and wished he had just specialized in that. But with just a year of thaumaturgy and 3 of pyromancy (in which he had been taught how to maximize it despite not being able to use it well till the third) he was still better in pyromancy. Then after learning a bit of every form of magic he finally took summoning. He first summoned a spirit common for those with little talent because it lingered on the outside edges of the Aether, known as Itemus, spirit of the earthbound. He quickly dismissed it, hoping it wasn't in pain from the summoning. He eventually progressed to middle lower level Aether beings such as Eltyiala, spirit of motherly love otherwise known as the maternity spirit, but dismissed her as well since he had no use for a mother and didn't want to keep her without a purpose. That was as far as he got. He also ended up good friends with a specialized summoner named Alek Personas (although Arden had actually helped invent that name. All the summoner remembered about his name was Alek. So he suggested trying the spirit of identity, Personas. He had actually meant that he should ask the spirit his name, but instead Alek named himself Alek Personas.)
Personality: Arden is a bit of a rogue, but hates seeing people suffer. He is usually lighthearted if nothing is wrong, and is often playing pranks. He hates those who would harm innocents, and it seems the angrier he gets the more likely he is to thrash out with Pyromancy.

 

Ohh okay, thanks. Well here's my character:

Name: Yubel
Age: 20
Type of Mage: Specialist
Favorite School: Art of Necromancy
Appearance:


Description: Yubel stands at an average height of 5'5 with long black hair trailing down her back which she likes to leave untied. She has a peculiar eye color of which resembles that of a posessed cat and some say that if you look into her eyes long enough, you will indeed end up posessed. She likes wearing a necklace and a bracelet around her left wrist. She has what is often mistaken as a tatto on her left arm but really it is the source of her magical abilities.

History: Yubel was orphaned at the age of 2 and has no recollection of who her parents are or were for that matter and therefore does not possess a family name. She spent 6 years in the orphanage before she was forced to leave. The cause of her forced departure was the sudden activation of her powers. Normally when a youngling awakens his/her power, its a joyous occasion because then the child is later on inducted into a guild of their choosing and the family or institution is looked upon with interest, especially if the youngling goes on to be a powerful Mage. But in this case, it brings utter chaos and shame to the family or institution that housed the the newly awakened. Yubel was constantly and mercilessly picked on for the unusual color of her eyes, the weird birthmark on her left arm and for the fact she stuttered whenever she spoke. It had gotten to a point at which it was so bad that she hid in her room and only came out for meals. One day, walking back from the girls restroom, she was jumped by children who were 2 years older than her, beaten up and then stuffed into a nearby broom closet. As the children began to laugh at her, something within her snapped. Suddenly the door burst open and shattered into what seemed like a thousand pieces, prompty slashing the throats of those who were the closest to the door. Those who survived were then devoured by the undead spirits she conjured. She then immediately started attacking any and everyone who crossed her path, regardless if they played a part in making her life hell or not.
Her rampage went on until the higher ups of the facility brought her down. But by then it was already too late. Yubel had murdered 467 children (out of 1500) and 34 elite guardsmen (out of 300). She doesnt remember what happened after she was knocked unconcious. What she does know is that she was sentenced to death and then abandoned in the most dangerous part of the Monchipaku Forest. She spent 3 months in that forest, defending and ultimately surviving until one day a stranger appeared, asking her if she needed any help but by that point, there was no reasoning with her as she was too fargone in her own animalistic world. The stranger had to then knock her unconscious as Yubel began attacking her. The stranger was more than shocked when she saw the child exhibit such raw power and she clearly had a knack for necromancy even if she didn't know it yet.
When Yubel had woken, she was in a unknown room, laying in a strange bed that was ridiculously soft. A series of events happened as soon as she met the owner of the strange home. The identity of the stranger was revealed. It turned out it was a women in supposedly her late 20's who up till this point, lived by herself. Her name was Charrise Lefevre. Charisse then put Yubel under intensive care, she had to relearn how to read, write, speak and hold a normal conversation, and soon after she was inducted into the guild at the age of 10 in which she was then taught how to control and call upon her powers by Charisse herself. Yubel quickly grasped the lessons brought before her and swiftly rose through the ranks of the guild and has become a very talented and powerful young Mage.
On more than one occasion, Charisse would question Yubel about family and if she wanted to join hers. Charisse made it very clear she'd be very willing to adopt her but Yubel always declined her offer claiming she wasn't ready. So to this day, the two of them live peaceful in a two story cottage on the outskirts of a properous village.

Personality: Yubel can be the sweetest, helpful person in Shandalia one minute but and the most unstable, manipulative and sadistic the next. Charisse noticed that her personality switches to whenever she becomes frustrated, sad or angry. *

 

btw, could you explain the difference between circle and sorcery? I get how circle magic works, and I think I have an understanding of sorcery (hence why I picked it) but I just wanna make sure.

 

@Zerieth I don't use it as a summoning circle. More as a trinket. I'm a specialized, and according to your description of that, I don't need a circle or incantation and I am very good at it. Obviously the iron bolt I first used as a circle broke, but I kept it with me as the memories attached to it helped me perform. Now I have a new one for that as the memories carry over to any circle for me. And is Arden approved?
