[center][h2][color=gray]Swen Runvall[/color][/h2] [img]http://i.imgur.com/Hrc2jiM.jpg[/img] [color=gray]"Knowledge is only power in one chooses to use it"[/color][/center] The small boy responds proudly after being requested to reveal his name and title. [color=gray]"Magierprinz Swen Runvall Von Zauberbuch is my full title. Father is the Magierfurst of my noble house of Von Zauberbuch, a reigning Prince-Mage over our family lands in the lands of northwestern Germany."[/color] [b]Age:[/b] [color=gray]"I'm sixteen years old. Although my inheritance is a distance away, I still expect you to treat me with respect due to the heir of a Princely state."[/color] [b]Gender:[/b] [color=gray]"Agnotic Primogenture sends the succession to me, a male."[/color] [b]Race:[/b] Human [b]Sexuality:[/b] [color=gray]"As a member of Von Zauberbuch, I intend to continue my princely line."[/color] [b]Alchemy: Grimore Schreiben[/b] From a young age, the Magierprinz practiced the art of writing in gold and transfering mana into a book in order to be able to be able to eventually use the grand dynastic grimore. On the bright side, using the lesser Grimore is incredibly mana light and takes up almost no time at all. (Go down to Catalyst to read more). He's currently working on being able to use the Grimore as a teleporting turret and lower the cast times of his spells, but it is quite a bit of work at this point to improve. [b]Prima: Wind Schneiden[/b] Many thin black slices of air fly at a high velocity towards his target up to 50 feet away. Aside from causing a lot of superficial cuts, currently they don't do too much damage unless one chooses to stand in the line of fire. Although light on the mana pool, alone they don't do much damage. [b]Immuto: Verfall[/b] A powerful support spell designed to bring down an enemy over time. Many mages have healing magic and many familiars have some sort of regenerative ability., but aside from the most powerful of healing magics or abilities, Verfall prevents healing of already existing wounds on a target. Appearing as a lance of darkness traveling at high speed, upon impact the lance shatters and small fragments of it jump into preexisting wounds. On the downside, it doesn't do any damage and the target must already be wounded to have an effect. [b]Other Magics:[/b] Sven spends some time studying other magics in order to gain a foundational understanding of them so he can understand how to manage magic in his Principality when he inherits the throne. [b]Catalyst:[/b] Lesser Grimore of Von Zauberbuch: A large, 10 pound Wyrven-leather covered book with a massive lock on it. Despite it's weight, it only contains about fifty pages worth of material. A spell written within it takes up a number of pages depending on it's complexity, requiring to be written in a fine, golden ink. After the writing was finished, a mage had to pour some mana into it in order to seal the words onto the page. A massive explosion can take up to ten pages, and takes about an hour per page to prepare. Additionally, the Grimore has a preperation time before firing a spell (about a second per page) allowing the enemies to be aware of what is going on (If they know latin, at least). After a spell is fired, the ink dissapears and the spell must be rewritten at a later point in time. Right now the fourteen year old carries it from an attached chain slung over his left arm, the nobleman bearing it's weight as he walks around. The key to it is attatched by chain inside a small pocketwatch that he wears from his neck at all times. [b]Other Skills:[/b] From the halls of nobility, Swen has a good idea about doing the casual noble arts: ballroom dancing, playing the piano, and courtly grace are skills he has aquired throughout the year. Inventory: The Lesser Grimore The Pocketwatch & Key Fancy Clothes Familiar: (Considering his background, it would only make sense for him to have one. Post in the OOC or PM me if interested) [b]Personality:[/b] Valuing his noble title a little too much, the Magierprinz relies on it as a crutch in the outside world. Being his first year at this school, he doesn't realize that there are far too many self-important nobles running around. On that note, he also respects those of higher rank, believing that God has graced them with power for a reason. Despite these flaws, at his core Swen is a chivarlric man. He believes that it his god given duty to protect the weak, the old, and the women from any harm that may become them, and assist them with their day to day lives. Strongly believing in the concept of honor, he will never lie and considers lying purely by omission to be dishonorable conduct. Fairly immature, he still has a lot of growing up to do. [b]Backstory:[/b] Born as the son of a reigning Prince-Mage, Swen has grown up with wealth and splendor surrounding him. From a young age, he was raised mostly by servants and other people in the court, only seeing his busy parents formally during dinner and perhaps and hour afterwards each day. This doesn't mean that his parents were cruel or unemotional, just that they dedicate themselves to ruling over their lands to ensure justice for every citizen. Because of this enviorment, Swen started to become a recluse. He would focus on books a little more than what would normally be considered healthy, and found very few friends that were his age. Although this allowed him to excel at magic for his age, his parents eventually saw the flaw in his lack of connections to others his age and sent him off to Liseranna to help him socially adjust.
