I think I just pulled an all nighter...

I apologize for the delay; work tends to cover most of the afternoon and the evening for me nowadays.

Here is my CS - Please inform me if I need to make any changes.

[hider=Travis McGrath]Name: Travis McGrath

Age: 30

Sex: Male

[hider=Appearance:][img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/80/8b/d1/808bd1f0c0009f0137362ab1667bf859.jpg[/img]

[hider=Abilities:]Like many of the Societas Academia, Travis has a very good understanding how magic functions and how certain spells are performed. Being an Untalent however, much of what he has learned is unfortunately outside of his realm of implementation and only gets by with the bare basics of each aspect. But to him, this is perfectly fine; the spells Travis can produce by himself are considered useful survival tools in order to help him get by.

His real prowess is through the deciphered tomes and runes recovered throughout his journeys, capable of extending his abilities beyond his current potential. Though if anything, they too are yet another means of allowing him dissect and better understand their magical functionalities and eventually reproduce their effects in more manageable and efficient methods.

Funnily enough, given his recent and occasionally perilous encounters, Travis has been seen to be a rather surprisingly athletic runner.

[hider=Backstory:]Being an Untalent amongst a rather social community of more capable Talents can definitely be rough. Condemned to a lesser status because of one’s natural inability to coordinate with magic fluidly was the fate many Untalents within the Societas Academia faced almost daily. Travis however didn’t seem to be bothered by this too much. In fact, he was perhaps too busy studying and discussing theories to really care at all.

While as an Untalent and indeed had higher expectations set against him by his self-deserving peers, he enthusiastically conceptualized these endeavors as welcomed challenges in order solve rather petty societal crises to stress about. Though Travis was no ace mage and was more likely a magician as far as skills go, his main strength was his constructed knowledge base with a fierce understanding of the architecture of mana and magic implementation. 

After years of hard study and grueling practice, Travis eventually achieved the rank of Aspect trainee and began the next phase of his training. Without any particular proficiency found in any particular set of spells, he would then opt-in into the Aspect of Scholar. As one would expect from his intuitive personality, Travis had felt right at home with his new position and became eager to set out for new discoveries.

What he didn’t know was how cruel and horrifying the world could be outside the Societas Academia. The concept of death was something many students were well versed in, some more than others, but to experience and its many forms was something rather undesirable. Thus for Travis, now a Scholar, would soon come to know and witness this concept on more than one occasion as he pursues his quest for knowledge.

[i]“So I spoke to an ebony dressed lady from the Cult of the Enlightened. We actually had a pleasant conversation until I asked about soul weaving. She laughed. Her fur coat [u]cried[/u]. Suffice to say, I left in a hurry.”[/i][/hider] 

[hider=Personality:]Despite his humble demeanor, surprisingly as an Untalent, Travis is certainly not afraid to speak his mind and express his views when necessary, sometimes comical or sarcastic if it benefits the mood. Being an easily fascinated and curious sort, he takes his role as a Scholar by heart (if not seriously) and seeks knowledge whenever he can find it; until it gets him into trouble. Nonetheless, he does show great pride and devotion to his line of work, atypical as it may be.

Travis can sometimes be described as a pacifist or “pass-the-fist” as he himself describes it. He sees no need for violence and certainly rejects the notion of killing but acknowledges the need for self-defense if he cannot negotiate his way out of a troubling confrontation. Of course said confrontations are usually created by something he may have said or done without any harmful or insulting intent.

I pulled an all nighter as well. Feel like I'm gon' pass out but I should get out this one reply while I work on a IC post.
You're accepted, feel free to post your sheet in the characters section and start your first post. But I should warn you beforehand (this goes out to  everyone as well) since [@Prodigal Son] is recruiting characters and writing them in 1 by 1 into the group with Felix, it might take a lil' bit before he gets to you due to the build up of players wanting to join at once. Hopefully it goes fast. 

-PS, I got a kick out of that Soul Weaving quote at the end of the backstory section. 
-PSS, I couldn't help but notice the Destiny avatar. I don't suppose you play on the ps4?
