If you're a Familiar, omit this entirely) Partner: (Leave this blank until your partner is announced) Personality: Kieran is a somewhat overly eager and energetic fellow. While his classic use-humor-to-hide-his-real-feelings tactics is somewhat overplayed, and his childish antics can be seen as immature, Kieran is actually a very different person deep down. In his thoughts he is somewhat pessimistic and trusts no one but he learned a long time ago that to live in this world and to be get places you must smile and be happy. Being angry and distant will only make enemies. Kieran is very smart, and he does not like to lie outright, but he prefers to keep his real thoughts to himself. Biography: Kieran was born and raised in Colbar, born to two loving parents but raised by his caring older brother. His mother fell ill while pregnant, which led to her needing to stay hospitalized after giving birth to Kieran. After a short period of time his father simply vanished, overcome with depression over the state of his wife and unable to raise Kieran, take care of Conrad, and take care of his wife. the older brother who cared for Kieran so much, found a job working at the docks and was able to barely afford to take care of himself and Kieran. Conrad was brilliant in his own way, but very unmotivated before Kieran was born and lived at home with his parents. When he gained fulfill custody of Kieran he was 21. He made sure Kieran had food everyday, school supplies, and clothes that fit. Kieran was often teased at school for being quite poor and having no parents, as mean as kids are a such a young age. At first Kieran would become upset and enraged, often attempting to solve such claims that his father left him with his fists. His brother Conrad quickly convinced him that anger was not the solution. “Someday”, His brother would say to him, “You will need them for something. One day you are going to need friends to stand behind you, or you will need to stand behind someone. Understand, these kids don’t understand what they are saying, they heard something from their parents who do not like us and went with it. Even if you are still upset, pretend not to be and they will eventually stop.” After hearing this a few times, Kieran began testing out what he was told and found in time that his brother was right. So Kieran learned how to lie decently enough, realized he had a knack for cracking jokes, and tried to blend in. He will still always be upset his father walked out on him and his brother, and he would never forget the times he was teased for it and for being poor, but he learned that reacting rashly when presented with a delicate situation brought on by others was the wrong way to handle the situation. Kieran stayed poor, even when he was able to bring in money for small chores around the neighborhood, but kept good grades and was eventually able to reach a scholarship for St. Fortunas. His goal was to be able to make a living and be famous for writing, which was his passion, but he the real reason why he wanted to attend the academy was for a much more base reason. He was tired of living in poverty, and when he realized he had a knack for magic he formulated a plan. He would use his book smarts and use magic to gain the necessary income to where he could support himself and his brother, then he would move on from there. He had his sights set on a bigger goal, a long term goal beyond writing. Writing was still his goal but it was a short term one. Kieran believed that in time he would be able to learn much about the different forms of magical writing such as the many types of symbols and signs, and he believed that one day he could either discover something new or invent something new. Something that could change the world. Likes: Spicy food, reading fantasy books, playing video games, learning new magic, writing (as in research or for personal reasons.), sarcasm, pranks.

Proficiency: 4 Intelligence: 5 Athletics: 1 Quiz Answers: Mage Quiz = 1 - World famous Author . 2 - Make a joke, own up to being caught, but try to diffuse any anger with humor and self insulting. If humor does not work he will try to escape and hide. 3 - More than likely he will not bring up the fact that he knows he was lied to. He would keep the information to himself until it could benefit him so as to avoid undue drama. 4 - Buy food. 5 - Slightly panic on the inside, and will retrace his steps to find. If still lost, panic on the outside and rush to find it. 6 - If it was just one talent, and by talent I assume something along the lines of a skill they possess not just necessarily something they are inherently good at, then he would choose the ability to be able to perfect the art of lying. 7 - Fantasy, because he enjoys becoming enraptured by the thrill of a story that could come from a fairy tale. Something along the lines of a hero arriving at the top against all odds and defeating the villain. Or even vice versa, where the villain is the misunderstood victim and he does what he believes is right even though everyone hates him for it. 8 - His elder brother, who took care of him for so long.
