[B]Biography[/B]:
The Nishihara family was a wealthy merchant family that converted itself to christianism after the initial contact of japanese culture with western cultures, in the 16th century. After the outlawing of christianity, the family was ostracized and lost much of it's wealth. Not losing faith, they became part of the hidden christians. In time, the family had it's first contact with the Amakusa Church, soon realizing that their only hope for survival was joining them.

The family pledged to always have their first male child learn magic and help actively in the protection of the Amakusa. The Nishihara, even if not prospering, survived through the periods of christian persecution, though dwindling in numbers since the 20th century.

And so it was, that Kei was the only child born of his generation in the family. The previous generation also consisted of only his father and mother. When this small family of three suffered a car crash when Kei was only 4, it seemed like God himself was telling them to give up.

Kei, however, miraculously survived. The child was then raised by the Amakusa, learning the arts of magic passed down by them, as the family tradition would have dictated. The boy turned out to have a natural affinity for healing magic, though his offensive spells were lacking, and he never tried to learn how to use a weapon.

By the age of 15, Kei was a quite talented magician student, and had already traveled to England a few times to better understand and learn the western way of magic. He learned of the existence of a school in Academy city whose goal was to graduate students able to use both magic and AIM fields. Extremely curious about this purpose, Kei decided to enroll and attempt to understand what exactly the science side was trying to do.

[B]Personality[/B]: Altruistic
Kei has the usual distrust of espers common among magicians, and feels slightly uncomfortable among them. He, however, dislikes being alone and hopes to make friends with his classmates, even if most of them are espers. Has a very calm and kind nature, which slightly hindered his offensive capabilities. He dislikes seeing people in trouble, and may sometimes seem intrusive in his attempts to help. Is very dedicated to his training, and is often practising in some way or another.

[B]Ability[/B]: None

[B]Magic[/B]: "Level 3" Magician
Amakusa Style, focusing on his healing spells
Has good understanding of various types of magic, even if unable to wield them.
[U][INDENT]Mending:[/INDENT][/U] The spell Kei is best at, a healing spell. The time and mana spent healing increase according to the damage that needs healing. Small cuts and the such can be healed quickly, deeper cuts can take several minutes. Kei still can't heal a broken bone. Requires high concentration to avoid making a mistake in the healing process.
[U][INDENT]Recovery:[/INDENT][/U]A small spell that recovers a bit of the energy and quickens a touched person. It's Kei's "single person" version of the spell normally used by the Amakusa when fighting as a group. However, due to being performed alone, is not very strong and has no effect on the caster.
[U][INDENT]Wire Barrier:[/INDENT][/U]Sets 7 steel wires, forming a "barrier" in one direction. This spell is able to hinder a person's progress through a corridor or such, but is less useful outdoors, due to the fact that the barrier might be circunvented by going around whatever the wire latched onto (such as a tree)
[U][INDENT]Damage transference:[/INDENT][/U]Transfers some of the damage suffered by the caster to the caster's clothes, improving Kei's overall resistance.

Kei's mana reserves are slightly above average, though not much so.

[B]Extras[/B]:
Vey often seen wearing a small silver cross, though sometimes hidden inside his clothing. Always carries a pair of gloves, even if not planning on wearing them, since it helps avoid hurting himself if he makes a mistake with his wires. Also frequently has a sketchbook among his materials, though he never lets anyone see it's contents.
