[quote=pyroman]Well, do you think that an alchemist would be fine? I know that there are many things when it comes to Alchemy, but it can be taught like any skill and since the characters are of young ages, his mind is still ripe for molding and could work to be a great Alchemist, making potions and things for several occasions.[/quote]
An alchemist would certainly work, lots of kids spend days in the basement playing with chemistry sets. I could see a kid who spends his whole life messing with alchemy equipment and rarely gets out (has few social skills), I could see one who likes fireworks/demolitions (most kids do) and spends time making all sorts of cool pyrotechnics to impress his friends, etc. The potential is certainly there. I assumed you were thinking of a more chemical type, scholar and student?
