[hider=Alyn Divina]
[b]Name:[/b] Alyn Divina

[b]Age:[/b] 16

[b]Gender:[/b] Female

[b]Race:[/b] Elf

[b]Appearance:[/b] Alyn is rather young in appearance, standing at a short 5’2” and appearing a slightly underweight 105 lbs. Having a lean and lithe frame, Alyn appears very physically weak. Her skin appears slightly more pale and fair than normal. Falling over her icy blue eyes is her short length hair that falls just above her shoulders. Alyn is almost never seen without her cloak. Falling all the way down to her legs from its baggy hood in the back with an open front, it is a royal blue color from bottom to top, slowly darkening as it reaches its end. Underneath her cloak, she wears a simple blue dress of a very similar color that ends just above her knees. Her feet are usually occupied by a simple pair of slippers of a matching color to her cloak. From midway up her palm all the way to her upper forearm, there is a large scar. Upon Alyn’s visage, a look best described by the word ‘neutrality’ comes to mind. She always appears rather absent of outgoing emotions, though this emptiness can often give off a feeling of grim sadness. There is an almost absent look upon her face when she looks at others, as her vision is extremely impaired.

[b]Personality:[/b] Alyn is very reserved and tactful in her speech, giving off a rather shy, solemn, and soft spoken vibe to those who encounter her. Of course, it is rare to have an encounter with an individual with these slightly introverted tendencies. Alyn often tries to avoid getting close or even interacting with others if she can avoid it. She views such trivial interactions as pointless and destined for betrayal. This makes Alyn very much a loner. This doesn’t come without its rumors of course, but Alyn seems to care very little about what others think of her. Once you get to know her, Alyn has a very childlike and sheltered outlook on things despite her negative past. She seems to perceive even the worst types of magic and violence to be normal even though they may frighten others.

[b]Abilities/Weapons of Choice:[/b] 
[hider=Necromancy:]
[b]Binding Ritual:[/b] Alyn has recently learned the family secret of binding creatures. Her skill in this type of spell is very weak and can be used very sparsely, especially because of the ample amount of time the rituals consume. At the start, Alyn may only able to bind small imps and lesser magical creatures, allowing her access to the most basic evocation spells that will allow her to appear like a normal mage. Once the creature is binded, Alyn offers the creature its freedom for the use of its magic for a short time.This ritual requires a large amount of mana and Alyn often needs some sort of Mana Drive to keep the ritual magic up for more than one of the bound creature’s spells.

[b]Summon Servant:[/b] This is one of Alyn’s most basic necromancy spells. Using ritualistic magic, Alyn can expend mana to bring forth an incorporeal spirit that can physically interact with objects around her despite being shapeless and massless. This spirit has no will of its own and instead becomes a simple extension of Alyn’s consciousness, but has no ability to attack others. Instead, it is used to carry and manipulate the area around Alyn. It requires a constant input of mana, but the input is minor and depends on how much work the force is doing. This spell is often used under the guise of a telekinesis spell.

[b]Fangs of the Vampire King:[/b] Alyn, through her family’s great necromantic prowess, has gained an affinity for the undead. Though she, herself is not an undead entity, through great practice, she has learned to summon aspects of some of the world’s most infamous undead creatures. By channeling her mana, Alyn is able to augment her teeth with conjured vampiric fangs. These elongated fangs become hard enough to sunder steel with enough force. The fangs are mainly used as a melee weapon since Alyn carries no source of defense and relies entirely on her magic. If the fangs happen to draw blood, Alyn can use the magic in the fangs to convert the blood into miniscule amounts of mana which helps her maintain the fangs longer or power other spells.

[b]Commune:[/b] This is one of the most simple necromantic spells that the Divina family learns. Although its use is very limited this spell is almost innate to those with the Divina family curse. Expending mana over time, Alyn can use this spell to hear the voices of the dead. It is the first spell taught to every one of the Divina family necromancers even though none of the family members seem to have found a use for it. It requires very little mana as the spells use is so narrow.

[hider=Other Spells:]
[b]Clairvoyance:[/b] This is Alyn’s most common spell. Due to her very weak vision, whenever she needs to see well or focus, she casts Clairvoyance to give herself a perfect vision of everything in a small radius around her. This supernatural vision requires more mana to have a larger range or for a longer duration. Alyn often keeps a short range Clairvoyance up for long periods of time so she can see.

[b]Ghost Step:[/b] Channeling the energy of incorporeal beasts through her body, Alyn is able to change her form to that of a ghost, allowing objects to pass through her. When going into her ghost form, all of Alyn’s belongings go along with her. Instead of being a physical being, Alyn becomes a white and shimmering image of herself. As she moves while in ghost form, Alyn expends quite a bit of mana so this spell is most effectively used while standing still and in short bursts.

[b]Bio:[/b] Born the third and final child to a rather prominent, wealthy, and noble family in Lightwyn, particularly by the sea, Alyn has had a rather sheltered life, but that hasn’t stopped her from witnessing the great evils that magic can bring along with its wonderful deeds. The Divina family had a list of dark secrets kept hidden to keep numerous illegal and forbidden magical traditions out of public eyes. Be it working with demons or working with the dead, there was a rumor that involved the Divina family.

Tracing back to Alyn’s great grandfather who is rumored to still be kept alive via necromantic magic to this day, the evil secrets of the Divina family are much more than rumors. Alyn’s great grandfather, in a move for power, took up the art of binding magic. He contracted a demon in exchange for the life of one of his family members to give his bloodline powerful magic. The demon then bestowed what most considered a curse upon the Divina family. The demon crippled their abilities to battle with normal arcane arts and replaced this potential magical energy with prowess for Necromancy. 

Ever since this curse, the family has become learned in their evil art, becoming a detriment to others to give themselves power. This leads all the way down to Alyn’s birth, where the ritualistic necromancy and binding magics were granted to her. This didn’t save her from the evil that the magic brought, though. When she was young and her older brother learned to bind, he sacrificed a great amount of Alyn’s blood. This left her physically weaker than she should have been and with a great scar upon her arm.

Of course, the Divina family still had the ability to take up practice of magic other than the dark arts, but it was not as strong as it could have been. Alyn, soon realizing the disdain outsiders held towards the ways of her family took up this practice, keeping her necromancy spells and binding spells to a minimum. This was a little secret that she held from her family. A young child’s defiance can only remain hidden for so long, though. Alyn was soon found out, and she became known as the rebel of the family. Believing it was a simple phase or that she would come around, Alyn wasn’t paid any heed. 

This, of course, was not to Alyn’s liking. When she reached the age of 15, and was finally old enough to seek out an academy, she decided that she needed to become something other than another menace of the Divina family, but her magic wasn’t the strongest. Her heart was set on Magus Academy, but her magical prowess had destined her for something completely different. She had to do something drastic.

With the assistance of her father, Alyn made an attempt to bind a weaker demon that would allow her to appear outwardly better at magic than she was, but her plan didn’t go so perfectly. Her father, in an attempt to help her learn to become a better binder, didn’t fully take control of the demon, allowing Alyn to deal with him directly. In the end, the creature was able to escape his binding and granted Alyn her wish only if she gave something up. Stuck between a rock and a hard place, Alyn agreed, allowing the demon to take away most of her ability to see, leaving her vision impaired, but luckily, she still had some sight.

After the struggles, the demon was compelled by her father to channel its magic through Alyn so she outwardly appeared like a strong mage. This allowed her to make it into Magus Academy and finally flee her family. Her first year was a great struggle, as Alyn was greatly incapable of most offensive spells. She had to resort to binding lesser imps and very weak fiends and creatures to even allow her to cast simple spells that evoked elements. Slowly and slowly, Alyn descended into more and more of a Dark Artist.

[b]Other:[/b] Despite Alyn’s ‘loner’ attitude, there is one thing that keeps her company. The one thing Alyn calls friend is her pet. In her company is a simple crow that she calls Beltran accompanies to every one of her classes at the academy.
