Rather than simple flame magic, over the last three years he has learned how to combine his own family's conjuration magic with their destruction magic to construct weapons and tools out of fire. His simplest spell is one that conjures a blade of fire. [*][i][color=6ecff6]Advanced Barriers[/color][/i]: Jirou is the Boss of House Alicornia, so it is no wonder that he excels at one of their primary forms of magic. He can make barriers with a variety of different rules and effects, and he keeps House Alicornia shrouded in arcane protection. [/list] [b][color=6ecff6]Weapons:[/color][/b] Jirou keeps a silenced pistol at his waist, but otherwise remains unarmed beyond his magic. [b][color=6ecff6]Appearance:[/color][/b] Jirou stands at 5'11 (180 cm) and weighs about 175 lbs (79 kg). [b][color=6ecff6]Personality:[/color][/b] Jirou is confident and ambitious, but keeps tight control over his own desires. Everything in his life has taught him the meaning of caution, so he prefers to use carefully laid plans to tighten the noose on his target, whomever it might be. That said, his plans are flexible and if one thread breaks he is quick to adjust his plans on the fly. The results he achieves have given him a rather intimidating reputation, and some call him the spider because of the webs he spins. [b][color=6ecff6]History:[/color][/b] Jirou was born into House Alicornia as the son of the previous Boss, and spent his young life learning the ins and outs of the organization. Despite that, he had an older brother and didn't expect to ever become the leader of the family. For these early years of his life, he focused on learning barrier magic because the thought of shielding others from evil appealed to him more than killing, and he began to earn a reputation for his skill with barriers within the house. He'd be sent out on jobs with others, using barriers to keep them safe and hidden. That was how he met a lot of the House's members, and got to know them. For years, it seemed like that was all he'd ever do. Nice, simple stuff. Then there was an attack by Gryphes on his father's car, and the Boss was killed in the ensuing fight. After his father died his older brother shocked everyone by abandoning the house, saying he wasn't going to sacrifice his life for some ancient feud. At the time, Jirou wasn't equipped to deal with the politics of the house, and there was a question of whether he could even be trusted considering his older brother's cowardice. When coupled with the fact that more experienced members were vying for power, it didn't seem likely that Jirou would come out on top. In fact he wouldn't have if it weren't for one of his father's closest friends. Masaru had been in Jirou's life since he was a small child, and was practically an uncle to him. During the aftermath of the Boss' death, when Jirou was still reeling and confused, it was Masaru who talked him into taking the initiative and offered to help him climb to the top of the house. Learning quickly with the help of Masaru, Jirou soon found himself moving through the House's political landscape with the ease of experience, and through cunning and clever bargaining he wrested control of the house back at a surprisingly young age for a Boss. His first move as the leader of Alicornia was to declare war on Gryphes, and the two houses have been at each other's throats ever since.
