Here's a seperate post to The First so that he can be linked on the front page.

It can only be assumed that he is somewhat old; his control over, and understanding of magic is something that indicates this. [b]Magic:[/b] [u][url=http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Telekinesis]Telekinesis[/url][/u] [u][url=http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Nullification_Magic]Nullification Magic[/url][/u] The First activates his nullification magic from the mind, intensely concentrating on the magical energy he nullifies. [u][url=http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Telepathy]Telepathy[/url][/u] The First uses this magic to communicate with the Executioners, and Selk Sarvog. He sometimes connects the thoughts of all of these people at a time, for group conferences and battle planning. [u][url=http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Jutsu_Shiki]Jutsu Shiki[/url][/u] The First has an innate understanding of Jutsu Shiki, and is able to create traps which seal opponents within the runes until they fulfill the rules set within said runes. These runes are normally placed in places where The First normally is, giving him an advantage in places where he normally stays. One of his most common traps is known as the Void Zone, where magic which can be used for offence cannot be used by an opponent, if it is used, then a powerful arcane shock is delivered to the user of said magic, which will persist for as long as the person uses their magic in that area. This renders many magic users useless, as if a person is willing to be shocked by the arcane energy, The First can still nullify it with his own magic, which is not counted as offensive. [b]Magic Level:[/b] Being the leader of the Ragged Brotherhood, The First can be assumed to be somewhat powerful; as he would be above the Executioners of the Ragged Brotherhood. --- [b]History:[/b] The First: a name that strikes terror into the hearts of many, and hope into the hearts of few. He was not always known as The First, but he has since abandoned his old name. For this name was filthy, like the magic users who cast it upon him. The First was born with a few “setbacks”, being born shorter than the average man, and with dulled senses. He could not feel the things he touched, and his eyesight was poor. As life went on, The First grew, but not by much. It was hard to live, for The First had a hard time staying upright and what not. His eyes were practically useless. He was tended to by his mother, whom loved him very much. But this made The First bitter and stubborn. He wanted to live. He wanted to do things for himself. Alas he could not. He was cursed to a life of bedrest and damnation. His only saving grace was the fact that he could cast some primitive forms of magic. When he was alone, The First would cry. This was no way to live. His tears made him feel better, stronger. But this was just the first steps of mastering tear magic. As he withered in bed, he began to actually do things with his tears, and when the time was ripe, and he had learned a few tricks, he stood up. This time without falling. This was no special blessing, as he could still hardly see. The First, would wander within the darkness, bumping into things that should be easily avoided. He cried less, and felt himself become weaker and weaker. Eventually, he stopped crying altogether, and he collapsed. As he cried from the sudden shock, he stood once more. Tear Magic, was the conclusion his mother came to. As time progressed further, The First found himself able to see, barely. His structure filled out, and his mind became sharp. With time, he no longer needed to cry to stand upright on his own. With even more time, he found himself much bigger than his mother, and even his father, whom he held no special opinion towards. But The First felt wronged. Whose fault was it that he was born with setbacks? Whose fault was it that he missed out on a childhood? It was theirs. They were responsible, and he knew this deep down inside. It was a lie, truly, but The First felt wronged. He was bitter, stubborn, and angry. The First held nothing but malice for his parents. They had not wronged him, but he felt they had. He felt that they had… restricted him too much. He had missed out on a proper childhood. He had not had the opportunity to learn, he could not read, he could not write. He blamed his parents, whom had not known enough magic to help him in any way. They disgusted him. They were useless in his eyes. So, he left without a word. His mother mourned, his father hardly noticed. But The First vowed to learn. So, that was what he did. He learned much. His now large form made him strong, so those that angered him did not remain a problem much longer. The First traveled to many place, learning different forms of magic at each. With time, he became strong. He easily outclassed his peers and found himself able to read and write. But the more he learned, the more he found the world to be a vile disgusting place. Many people spoke rather fondly of Phoenix Wing, which befuddled The First. To him, they seemed… corrupt and vile. Disgusting creatures to be blotted out like flames. They reminded him of his parents. They seemed to restrict others, at least in his eyes. But this is through the eyes of a man who was born nearly blind. The First’s mind was corrupted by his bitterness. The First needed to learn, but he had devoted his time to learning magic. Each magic user, to him, seemed greedy. He believed they each withheld information, not just from him, but from everyone. Many required payment, while those who did not, taught little. The First believed information had to be free, so it did not take as long for others, as it had for him to learn. He continued to learn, but as he learned more, he realized he had known much already. So, he returned home, for it was all he had thought to do. When he returned, it was with knowledge. But he still lacked the ability to see from the eyes of his mother. One thing led to another, he called her a filthy magic user, and proceeded to kill her in a very violent manner. He did the same to his father, because his father had done nothing for him in his life. It took a long while for The First to realize what he had done. Few knew his face, and he preferred to keep it that way. Donning a mask and a cloak, he departed. He learned a few more tricks, but a few things still eluded him. He sought these isolated corners out, learning what he could. It took a long while before he heard of “Druid Magic” which could only be taught by a very few; and it took even longer for him to find one who had known this. He tracked this man, using local tales, and intruded this man’s home. He was assaulted by horrifying images, which he quickly nullified. When he was no longer being assaulted by these terrible images, he found a bear at his throat. He tried to mutter something, but found himself unable. The man had spooked him, but not hard enough. He managed to let a request escape, and the bear was called off. The man taught him what he could, which was limited to horror magic, and delivered to The First some disappointing news: Druid Magic is not so easily taught. The First stayed with the man, Selk, and they conversed for a time. The man had goals, much different than his own, but he saw an opportunity. If they joined forces, they could knock out two birds with one stone. Selk, liked this idea, and agreed. They decided to found the Ragged Brotherhood, which would unite all mages under one common banner, and The First promised Selk that they would help to “restore nature”. This was not a lie, but it was far from the truth. The First cared little about nature, or this man. But this man was skilled in the few magics he knew, and could be used to draw others to his cause. [b]Personality:[/b] The First is calm, calculating and confident in his abilities as a leader. His views and orders are absolute, and he expects the members of the Ragged Brotherhood to understand this. He is a tactician, and goes over many scenarios in his head in order to choose a path which provides the highest chance of victory. Those who are not in the Ragged Brotherhood are simply pawns to him, and he does not mind destroying these pawns to further his goals and ideals. [b]Team Members:[/b] In the [i]extremely[/i] rare occasion that The First engages in combat, he is normally accompanied by the Executioners and Selk Sarvog. Otherwise, he fights alone. [b]Three Strengths:[/b] 1. He can force magic-users to fight on his terms with both Nullification Magic and Jutsu Shiki. 2. His ability to plan and prepare with his Jutsu Shiki. 3. Leadership skills. 4. Expert Hand to Hand Combatant 5. Enhanced Durability [b]Three Weaknesses:[/b] 1. If you do not use magic, then the Nullification Magic will have no effect. 2. Unpredictability/General stupidity 3. You could just not pursue him in an attempt to fight, as trying to reach him will likely result in you being captured. [b]Greatest Love:[/b] His motivation. [b]Motivation:[/b] To unite all magic users under the banner of the Ragged Brotherhood. [b]Additional Details:[/b] The First is a character controlled by Scrub Mage, SilverDawn, and I. [/center]
