[hider=Nico Flamel]
Name: Nicodemus 'Nico' Flamel 
Age: 23
Birthday: July 17th 

Magic: 	

[hider=Tattoo Magic]
Tattoo Magic - Nicodemus's body can generate tattoos on a whim, producing many runic tattoos that enhance his body and magic. Most tattoos are temporary but there are few that are etched permanently: [list]
[*]Rune of Strength: Placed on various key points of the human body, the runes make his muscles stronger and faster.
[*]Rune of Fortitude: Runic arrays painfully carved onto his bones develops the density up to staggering levels helping it become incredibly resistant to force.
[*]Rune of Life: Engraved onto his very heart, granting him endurance and vitality that would be difficult to challenge.
[*]Rune of Lightning: A series of runic tattoos, at the base of the skull, triples the reaction rate by superconducting the neural system.[/list][/hider]	
[hider=Rune Mastery]
Rune Mastery - Possessing a prodigious knowledge of most known runic languages, Nico can utilise multiple runic circles and arrays to accomplish various feats of magic:[list] 
[*]Barriers: The overall durability of these barriers depends on the quality and complexity of the runes, on a whim using his Tattoo Magic he can block blows from conventional weapons with ease. With a pre-prepared runic array magic can withstand most high-level magic.
[*]Seal: Able to seal away inanimate objects for later use, or in the case of high-grade seals the same for attacks. Often Nico would seal away his opponent's attacks, using his tattoos on his own body.
[*]Limited Elemental Magic: There are runic symbols for all five main elements; fire, wind,lightning water and earth. Nico, using his extensive knowledge of runes can employ these elements (his affinity with each is weaker in the line of order: left to right) through the use of many runic tattoos across his body, even allowing for some combination attacks. However he is easily taxed using it and his control over the elements pales in comparison with a magic user who specialises with the elemental affinity.[/list]
[/hider]		
[hider=Imperial Eye]
Imperial Eye - Hereditary eye magic granting abilities that has been passed down through the royal Flamel bloodline, which is unlocked and activated after chanting an incantation. Far more taxing on his stamina to use than either Tattoo Magic or Runes.[list]
[*]King’s Sacred Commandment: Any form of Caster magic is able seen as ‘colored strands’ of intent shaping the magic and the ethernano powering it. With this ability Nico can discern different types of Caster magic with just a glance and even snap the link between intent and ethernano which causes the magic to cease be. Though this is only possible within the range of his perception and the higher level a magic is, the more strands that are needed to be broken and therefore more energy and time is expended doing so.
[*]King’s Divine Judgement: Requiring direct eye-to-eye contact, the Imperial Eye can judge whether or not a person is innocent. For the guilty it induces an illusion where they relive the torment and terror they have inflicted onto others. This ability can be effectively resisted by the strong-willed or the insane.  
[*]King’s Transcendant Blade: Requiring the full recital of the complete verse of incantation, it can call upon a giant building-sized sword, named 'Ea' "The Sword That Cut the World Apart", to fall from the skies onto a selected area. The impact is devastating, shaping the very earth with its power, making sure to leave nothing behind in its wake. The use of such magic leaves him completely spent of magic for a whole day.

History:

[hider=History]
Long ago when the title of ‘King’ meant more than just being a political figurehead, when a King took the responsibility of protecting and governing his people into his own hands, a kingdom, that had covered what was now Fiore, was under the reign of the Flamels. A dynasty that had lasted countless centuries withstanding gods, demons and dragons, that had ensured a period of peace and prosperity throughout its lands. But as in the nature of good things, it did not last; the Flamels had gone lax and weak within their long era without conflict and with that, they were grossly unprepared for the cataclysm that will be recorded in the history tomes as the ‘Dragon King Festival’. Between the war of dragons and rise of Acnologia the Flamels fell from power, their lands upturned, armies destroyed and castles demolished.

Five hundred years into the present and after the rise and fall of the Black Wizard, magic being forced into hiding, the subsequent hunting for magic, and countless assassination attempts, the last remaining direct descendant of the Flamel bloodline has been born into the world without lands or wealth and after a gruesome childbirth; parents. Even centuries after their reign there are still men loyal to the name though not for noble reasons, the faceless men that have taken on the newly-named Nicodemus Flamel are more than displeased with how magic is regarded in this time and age and wish to manipulate him to become their own puppet king. But they would be foolish to think a child with an old name would be enough to regain his rightful seat of power, they had hidden far from the eyes of the world and hired the best of tutors; educating him in languages, sciences, mathematics, politics, combat and most especially magic. 

With time he grew into a man worthy of the title that is rightfully his and with that the men who took him in offered up a piece of parchment left to him from his dying mother. On it were scant remnants of his Family Words: 

I am the Soul of the King
My blood is royal
And my soul is noble 
Seeking what is rightfully mine
I shall transcend existence 
And ascend to my divine throne
For I am the King of the Soul 

With these words uttered Nico had brought upon divine judgement among the conclave of liars and manipulators, seeing them for who they really are. Uncovering their true intentions and in his rage, he had summoned Ea from the skies and demolished their stronghold to bits. As exhausted and deprived of magic he was then, with little time before the authorities would come to investigate he fled the scene, off into the shadows to rest and recover. 

Now Nicodemus Flamel is set on a journey to reclaim his throne through his own power. What shall lay on his path to do so? [/hider]
Personality: Without question, Nicodemus’s most prominent personality trait is his ego. This is true whether it manifests itself in his “vengeful monarch” or “noble champion” modes. Though capable of kindness and fairness, he’s usually impulsive and overconfident, with little regard for the consequences of his actions.

Guild and Guild-Mark Location: -	

Three Strengths: 
1. Groomed to rule; skilled in diplomacy, court politics, managing matters of the state, etc.
2. Possesses an iron liver, has yet to meet anyone able to drink him under the table.
3. Displays an indomitable will by meeting his body, mind and spirit’s limits and exceeding them. 

Three Weaknesses: 
1. An arrogance which is common amongst royalty though he still recognises those who are well above himself.
2. Has a tendency to rely on his two lesser magics before resorting to the Imperial Eye.
3. Any slip-up using Rune Magic can lead to severe magical backlash even if Nicodemus is second to none in this field of magic. 

Greatest Love: Studying ancient languages and rune arrays.

Motivation: To overthrow the current king, gaining the throne, through his own individual power not by the machinations of others as a puppet.

[/hider]**EDITED**

Just addressing some points made^

[@Zarkun]
I didn't quite get your critique on the Tattoo Magic or maybe it's just that I didn't clarify it (which soon become all too common). The magic allows him to create/erase tattoos on himself and this just goes hand in hand with his runes. So yeah guess it's my bad on that one. 

The thing on 'nigh-unbreakable' bones I get sorta but I mean there's always impalement and internal damage, also if something were strong enough to break his bones then I reckon it would result in something much more worse than a broken arm or leg.

The unicorn blood part.. yeah I just wanted to insert an interesting tidbit in with everything.

Uhh our reflexes depend on how fast signals transmit from our body to the brain, no? I'm not an expert in the field so I might be horribly wrong but I thought that was the general consensus. Also note to Rune of Strength's faster muscles. Did tone the increase down through, being faster than a trained speed magic user is over the top.

The Imperial Eye, first off: thanks for noticing the amount of effort I put into^ Very heartening, I was brainstorming for a good hour or so and the mechanics of it^ Forgot to include the last part of Sacred Commandment, whoops. Thought an hour would be enough at first but then realised just how ridiculous that was, so I changed it to a day and completely spent like you advised to. 

Aaaand the backstory.. yeah I didn't spend enough time with it as I should have. Once again: my bad.

[@Crimson Raven]
Just wanted to say: you didn't seem so harsh at all, I completely got where you came from and grateful for not jumping the gun there with Nico. 

Swore I edited the age to early 20s or so. Now I've done so. Addressed the unicorn blood part, didn't really go for the 'pure of heart' but it's misleading, so removed.

Downgraded the Barrier and y'know I always thought Abyss Break as building buster tier with Fairy Law a selective army buster and Etherion being a solid island buster. Thanks for clearing that up with me, did not know. 

The teleportation seemed great at first, I was sorta basing my Runes off of Narutoverse seals and other stuff so that ability seemed to key in. Guess I needed someone to tell me that would be overpowered on top of everything else. 

Nico's impulsive and confident for good reason, ego being his most prominent personality trait. And he would like his throne back, as he was raised to desire the one thing he was taken in for. The guy's a magic Vegeta or Namor, an anti-hero coming from a royal background with too much pride and ego.

Sorry, slipped my mind to name the sword from the Transcendant Blade. 

Okay this part really confused me and it may just be me. I looked over the character section there was a few S classes here and there. So with his pre-edited powerset I didn't see fit to call him an A class and it was my mistake to not have it clarified before. 

Edited parts of the backstory you mentioned, while keeping true to what it was originally. 

Yeah sooo.. thanks for the constructive criticism, was very helpful^ Eager to join y'all^
