[quote=@Skelace] [b][h1] Deston Douglason [/h1][/b] Male 24 [b]Appearance:[/b] 6'2" A lithe and lanky build with messy auburn hair that spills down to his collar. Sun tanned skin, and dark hazel eyes that seem to be permanently narrowed. Clean shaven, with a narrow jaw line that peaks at his chin. [hider=Basic Appearance] This good sir should do. Perhaps not so muscular...

He furthers his goal by literally changing the way people see things, by altering the world around him. At first he would simply conjure images and visions that weren't there, but by an early age he had already mastered making exact duplicates of people and decided to move onto loftier goals. He began focusing an channeling his mana into changing the chemical and atomic structures of materials around him. While he can masterfully change an apple into an orange without blinking an eye, he is still working on perfecting his craft to a greater scale such as turning a wooden mansion into brick and stone, or forming an item out of the air, without it leaving him exhausted and burnt out.[/hider] [hider=Backstory] Deston has never wavered in his service to the Church of the First Company and has never doubted their teachings. Once his skills as an illusionist were known they helped him focus and hone his natural born talent. At a young age he was being given tasks by his Grand-Magi such as sitting in on meetings without being seen, or sneaking into places otherwise forbidden to his fellow novices. The Church soon displaced him from his home in Ireland, constantly having him travel from place to place going to meeting after meeting, breaking into offices, and warehouses alike. By his teenage years he had become a master at blending into the crowd, becoming anyone at any time. A Japanese manager here, a German scholar there. He was recently promoted to Magi after completing his first task of killing a man for the Church. Deston didn't know who the man was, though he suspected he was a dangerous apostate the Church had deemed needed to be put down for the betterment of humanity. But he never actually asked. He never asked questions, and he found he wasn't the slight bit worried about who the man was. It was enough for him that his faith demanded his life be ended. [/hider] [hider=Personality] Deston's personality is whatever the moment requires. One moment he is pretending to be outgoing, hearty salesman, the next a secretive and nervous recluse. He typically prefers to stay in the shadows and scope a situation out before deciding on how to act. When engaging with peers he will often display a mask of a happy go lucky youth as he observed his natural quite, caustic, cynical, and reserved demeanor would make people distant and in the long run harder to manipulate for assistance. That being said, Deston is easily flustered with true deep emotions often not knowing to do when they appear as he is used to expressing only the shallow. Deston has no true friends as he is constantly moving about, his only constant contact is the Grand-Magi he has been serving his whole life. His constant snooping and finding secrets others would prefer hidden has caused him to be rather cynical of all things in this world except the Church. When letting down his mask he can become vicious with his tongue as he begins to let people know what he thinks of them or a situation, not afraid to use the secrets he's stolen from another to hurt them, or pick apart their personality. His ego has been building since he was first removed from his fellow novices, giving him a sense that he cannot fail and a belief that he has no living equal in his craft. While he has no doubt there are others who know more, he believes in just a few short years he shall pass them and will take his place as an Arch-Magi in the Church.[/hider] [/quote] I like your character, you're in. Just a few things. Promise me you'll have your character join Felix when he approaches you. It seems like your character has an unwavering loyalty to the Arcanocracy. The other thing is that the Church of the First order is a Jesuit order that is supposed to be secret from the rest of the Catholic Arcanocracy, a seperate entity from the Arcanocracy. The Arcanocracy is what gives ranks, the COTFO is a small group that operates within the shadows. I'm not really sure I made that clear which is why I pointed it out. The last thing, you keep your mitts off of Felix's wooden mansion.
