Excellent. Here, then, is my character - I shall try and concoct some piece of arcane cosmology to match him tomorrow. 


[hider=The Star Seeker]

Tarot Card: The Star Seeker

Name: Ultrovos, the Veiled One

Age: 47

Gender: Male

 Appearance: The Veiled One appears as a tall, gaunt figure entirely wrapped in a black cloak, which has grown tattered and frayed at the edges. His head is concealed by a cowl, and before his face there hangs a black veil. With one hand he leans upon a gnarled wooden staff, whereas over his other shoulder are slung two leather bags, one of which occasionally twitches and writhes.

 Backstory: Ultrovos was once an aspiring wizard, studying the arcane arts in one of the Sun Kingdom's academies. However, following a seemingly failed spellweaving experiment performed in the course of his learning, he began to be plagued by strange dreams, from which he would wake gibbering wildly. Deeming them to be caused by an illness, he retired to his quarters for weeks, in the course of which strange mutterings could be heard issuing from them - yet Ultrovos never received any visitors. After that period, he emerged from his confinement having acquired a mostly taciturn demeanour, a habit of draping a dark cowl about his features due to "vulnerable eyes" and a mighty strange journal, which is presently his most valued possession.
To any observer, it appears as full of barely legible gibberish. However,  Ultrovos himself is able to use it as a spellbook, invoking strange and disturbing enchantments from its pages and occasionally merely leafing through it or scribbling some further notes.

 Having underwent such baffling changes, he departed, with little explanation, on a quest to find "the shattered star", which he believes to lie somewhere upon the world's surface. While he himself would probably be unable to say what exactly he is seeking, he is convinced he shall recognise his quarry upon seeing it.

 However this may stand, from then on the wandering Veiled One became a rather dreaded figure. Though not actively malicious, he inevitably brings strange and fearful prodigies wherever he travels, and havoc follows in his wake. 

 Abilities: Ultrovos is able to evoke diverse and potent otherworldly magics from his makeshift spellbook, often ensuing in chaotic effects as these alien incantations grate against the fabric of reality.

 Additionally, he seems to be suffused with some sort of unnatural vitality, as he is able to subsist for exceptionally long periods without sleep or nutrition.

 Other: Ultrovos possesses a familiar of some sort - a creature dwelling within an ever-darkened bag. The being itself has never been seen, but the bag occasionally writhes curiously, and anything deposited into it is swiftly and silently devoured.
