Psychological Attributes

Humble * Helpful * Free-spirited * Oblivious


Personality: Sprout is the kind of person who just wants to go where the wind takes him. Given his ability to fly sometimes that's literal. The practical classes at the academy were much more to his liking than anything written. He doesn't like feeling as though he's in a cage, he wants to be out and exploring the world. 
 From an early age Sprout was taught to be humble about who he was. For the longest time he never realized how well off his family was. They didn't live extravagant lives, money was just never an issue, so he never thought himself better than anyone else. Even now that he knows of and has access to the family fortune he chooses to wear simple clothes, and live off his own means.
 Sprout is the kind of person who will help anyone or anything he thinks he is able to help. Obviously plants and animals are easier to help than people most of the time. Sprout can be a bit thick headed at times though and probably won't notice any hints someone might drop that he's being annoying. Oftentimes Sprout lives in his own world, and people need to be pretty explicit for him to get what they're saying. 

Skills

A listing of skills, such as horseback riding, and natural abilities, such as night vision - this also includes any racial edges


Skill: Animal Communication Is able to communicate with any animal he may come across. Doesn't mean they always want to talk, only that he knows they understand him and he understands them. (Possibly magic, made it a skill since it's more of a passive thing)
Skill: Mimicry Can mimic any sound he has heard before. Voices are harder and can be found as fake by someone paying enough attention. This is a skill most Maranek possess.
Skill: Natural Flight Sprout can fly just like a bird would. This is why he travels as light as he can, heavy armour would just hinder this ability
Skill:First Aid Sprout knows how to clean and dress a wound, make a splint for a broken bone, perform CPR, and other first aid abilities. He worked hard to learn this because he's not very proficient with healing magic.
Skill: Bow Training A combination of formal training and his own practice has made Sprout fairly able to fire an arrow
Skill: Forest Survival Sprout is able to find food and water fairly easily in forests. This skill can be extended to other areas with the use of his ecological empathy magic.


Magic

A listing of spells, their descriptions - casting times, elements needed to cast, expected damage, any drawbacks to casting

Spell: Weather Manipulation Can cause rain, fog, clouds, clear skies, and a variety of other weather conditions. Cast time varies and is usually dependant on the environment. Causing it to snow in a desert would take quite a long time, but causing clouds to dissipate would be much faster.
Spell: Lightning Strike Mostly used for show, Sprout can call a bolt of lightning from a cloud. It looks impressive but is difficult to make accurate. He has special metal arrows to fire at an enemy he wishes to kill to improve accuracy. He does not enjoy killing so this is rarely used
Spell: Wild Growth Sprout can cause plants to grow rapidly, this included regenerating the plants cells in a case where it may be dying. He carries the seeds of viney plants so he can always try to trip up or tie up an attacker if he is not near plan life. Sprout is most adept at this type of magic.
Spell: Ecological Empathy Sprout can sense the state of nearby plant life and knows what is wrong with it if anything, be it magical, natural, poison, etc. The more mana he uses the larger the area can be. Plants in his immediate vicinity use essentially no mana.

History

Parents: Father is deceased. Mother is alive, friendly relationship but not too close.
Siblings: No siblings
Childhood: Sprout grew up in a well off family, never needing to worry about money. When he hatched his parents heard wolves howling and thought it a great name for their newborn son.
Adulthood: Upon becoming an adult at 13 in maranek customs Sprout went off to learn magic at the Forest Academy located just inside the Faerie Woods. His teachers remarked how he was gifted with druidic magic, and he enjoyed it so much he chose his adult name based off of it. Sprout can coerce magic in to doing what he wants when he is not being violent, suck as restoring life to a dying plant, or clearing clouds to make the sun shine through. When using his magic for combat purposes though he must force it and impose his will like anyone else would.
Special Moments: His father got ill shortly after Sprout went off the the academy. He was around for Sprout choosing his adult name and he thought it a fine name, he died a few days after that. 
 He met his familiar just outside the woods. She had a broken wing and he helped her get back to full health. She admired his kindness and decided to stick around.
Current Events: Sprout has finished his studies for now, he feels he has learned all he can from school and must start learning on his own. Beatrice suggested travel, she said Elir Nazik is nice this time of year. He knew she was joking but maybe he would give it a look anyways.

Extras

Character Quote: "I'm a lover, not a fighter. But I'll fight for what I love."
Anything Else: When speaking with someone he often subconsciously mimics their voice slightly


This is what I've got so far, it's pretty rough. Still needs more skills, magic, an actual personality and a few other things. Just putting it up for possible critique as well as to prove I do have some kind of working copy of this guy.

"Oh, new friends, hello," Griss said quite glad he wasn't alone anymore as the first two Ig's after him had woken up. One of them sounded quite funny, the other was asking if they were siblings. Griss hadn't thought of that, he didn't really care if they were or not, he just was glad for the company. Before he could say anything to his new friends one of the eggs rolled right by and would have hit him had he not quickly moved himself back. It crashed in to the last egg and now it seemed everyone was awake and moving about.

It seemed they had gotten Hivemind's attention, which Griss was happy for, though he wasn't sure if his new friends would like it or not. A big glowing eye was looking at them all now, poking them from behind then staring. At the poke Griss had jumped and turned to face it, only to see it whirl back around in front of him. As it stared he just waved at it. "Hello Hivemind." At that point it mentioned a party, parties were fun, right? Griss didn't have much time to think on it as Hivemind sucked up their eggs and then seemed to want everyone else to go in to the light. "This is so exciting, isn't this exciting everyone? I'm Griss, by the way, and I'm so happy to have met all of you." Griss was very excited from being around all the new people, it made him quite giddy.
