Short Bio: Eric lived a rather simple life in West Virginia. He was rather happy, living in the country away from it all outside the cities. He hunted, fished, worked, he made a decent living and was peaceful. He grew up with a family and a fair amount of land, he loved and lived through his years. He even got engaged just several months before the cusp of the current year. However a few days after Christmas he learned of his Fiance cheating on him. This caused him a great deal of grief and pain. He had always had break-ups and the like, throughout his years like anyone would have in their life. However her had never quiet experience anything much like this, he was fully in love with the woman, and she destroyed his life with a single moment. He pressed into the new year with drinking and the like, and after sometime the days blurred into weeks, and before he knew it, he was sitting drunk on his patio looking to the stars, and then he fell in a dreamy haze. He saw an image, or two, maybe three, he was entirely sure. They were beautiful winged angels. They spoke of a world worse than it was now, he believed it to be a drunken dream, an intoxicated hallucination, and as he awoke from the believed drunken visual, he quickly felt himself grow angry. He couldn't imagine a world worse than his now, he thought it was personal and speaking of a time worse than his current time. He grew furious and he yelled out intoo the night sky, but his yell quickly turned into a roar. He roared and as the roar grew louder and thundered out into the night, he found himself running and thrashing through the woods. He was moving in a direction, the direction wasn't clear, but he had moved and he made a great distance in his furious, adrenaline-fueled rampage. It wasn't until he came to a clearer head that he realized.. he had turned into a massive Grizzly. It was a day later, when he received an email under his Work Account. It had been sent from someone he had never met or spoken with about a place in Illinois. He wasn't sure what it meant, but it sounded familiar, and before he realized it, his Bear-rampage had already headed him towards Illinois, he had ended up crossing over into Kentucky from West Virginia in that one night. He soon boarded a plane and took his flight, arriving a day later in Illinois. He then quickly made his way to Brightwell, and the Building. Skills/Flaws: - Tracking/Hunting- Eric is a country boy born and raised, and has hunted and tracked game all his life. This skill has progressed into being a marvelous tracker even of things outside of the game hunt. - Handy-man- Eric worked as a handy-man in his late school years and after graduating. He learned a fair amount about electioneering and even more about carpentry. - Anger Issues- Eric's family has always had an anger problem, and he inherited four generations worth of anger issues. Despite his stoic nature and his control, even he can lose his temper and unleash his anger. - Trust issues- Eric has a heavy heart, due to recent events before the return of magic, and he now barely trusts anyone or anything. This makes it hard for him to work well with people who believe trust is the biggest connection they should have between people. Spell List: - Bear Form(Change)- Eric can transform himself into a massive Grizzly bear. This magic is emotionally tied and can be triggered without his desire in moments of great emotional strength. - Griffon Vulture Form(Change)- Eric can, alongside his bear form, transform into a Griffon Vulture. Despite him having never traveled to Europe or Asia, he once saw the Eurasian Vulture in a Bird of Prey Exhibition and quickly enjoyed the raw talent of this bird. - Stand with ME!(World/Change)- He might have trust issues, but Eric is still a man of care and concern. He values the protection of the innocent. This spell allows him to summon up a mighty shield, this massive bulwark is then held by his great strength and use of the spell. The shield stands seven feet tall, and four feet wide. it is also a foot thick. It starts out as a massive block of stone, but with the use of change magic, he transforms it into a highly compact, metal-bossed and lined shield, the stone of the shield is compacted and tightened at the structural level of it's being, and it forms a type of rock as strong as metal, and it features a massive, Nordic-esque Ram's head sculpted in the front of it. - Bow of the Green(World)- This spell allows Eric to summon up a bow from the earth, it will be made of wood, entangled in vines and mossy roots, as well as have a sinew-like substance of plant matter host a string. Arrows are then fashioned from the earth and raised up in a large quiver on his right leg. He utilizes the freedom of this spell with great ability, having been trained with a bow since being a young lad. The Arrow-heads often sport a simple stone or obsidian head, but using world magic he has been known to create them out of other materials for certain situations. - - [hider= Cantrips]-Speaking to Animals he has grown accustom too, and spent time around. (This is a Cantrip, because to instantly speak to any and all animals, would take a spell, but like Druids in other Fantasy/magical Settings, should they spend enough time with a singular animal, they connect with it, and thus their magic is connected as a Druid. This applies to Eric, it is a cantrip, due to the limitations on it, rather than it's spell form.) - Gathering Fire-Flies to produce light (Eric will be able to draw in Fire-Flies using a faint magical attraction, and this will draw a small, but decent enough, collection of Fire-Flies to produce light to see in most dark areas.) - Extremely short range detection of Life (Detect Living/Life spells exist, and the full spell form is extremely powerful! However Eric isn't skilled in that spell[Yet maybe! Who knows! Maybe Cantrips can evolve into full spells! Character Development Kiddies!], the range is barely bigger than two bedrooms, a large foyer in a upper-class house at best. This allows him close range detection of living for survival situations and tracking. This also brings me to the next Cantrip.) - Magical Echoing/Tracking (Eric can recall recent magical activity, or Magi through their auras even after they have left. However the time window is short, as it is a tracking cantrip, and can't be over-powered. He can only feel and track Magical Echos from about twenty minutes prior to his finding of the aura's echo. These are Eric's current Cantrips. I hope this gives you all some great ideas! Remember not to make them too powerful! Letter Bee and I will always review them and notify you if something is up with a Cantrip that you do in the Rp! Now, you don't have to go making a big list about them like I just did! But we would both like it very much if you put a short summary or conceptual explanation of how your Character might use Cantrips![/hider] [hider][img]https://sampimentel.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/vulture.jpg[/img][/hider]
