[hider][b]Name:[/b] Nabriales Taeryn
[b]Nicknames:[/b] Nabri 
[b]Gender:[/b] Male
[b]Sexuality:[/b] Homosexual
[b]Alias:[/b] N/A
[b]Age:[/b] 350
[b]Apparent Age:[/b] Late twenties
[b]Race:[/b] Human
[b]Sub-Race/Lineage or Nationality/Specialty:[/b] Precursor Descendant
 
[b]Appearance:[/b] Nabriales stands at 5'9" and weighs 170 pounds, a mixture of lean muscle and a small amount of fat. Nabriales is particularly fond of his youthful and somewhat varied appearance - he is adorned with a cracked pair of blue horns ostensibly as a result of his various alchemical tinkerings, and after the mishap that gave him the horns was resolved he elected to keep them as he enjoys the aesthetics of having horns. Through the cracks vis in varying shades of blue or purple can occasionally be seen flaring up, particularly when he brews potions - though also whenever emotions or tensions are high. Additionally, he has a marking just underneath his right eye that seems to indicate a guardian bond between himself and a Prae - though he is particularly reticent about any information regarding such, and merely states that he enjoys the way that the marking looks.
 
Nabriales can often be found with eccentric clothing, preferring to wear loose-fitting robe-like clothing that gives him maximum fluidity and breathing room. He is known to change the colour of his clothes, or even his entire ensemble, on a whim. His clothing choice is often woefully inadequate for his chosen profession - alchemy - and his colourful drapery is often made moreso by the spills of various reagents, and patches tend to be missing - Nabriales often does not notice this, and as soon as it is pointed out will either change entirely or repair his garment magically.

Of particular note is Nabriales' otherworldly beauty. Precursor descendants are widely recognised as being far more beautiful than ordinary humans - and Nabriales is considered especially beautiful by Precursor standards. Just as many average humans are utterly spellbound and captivated by beings such as Prae, who are seen as angelic, Nabriales looks almost like something out of a story book - his entire ensemble and appearance suggest something [i]fae[/i] in origin, somehow both wicked and beautiful - and this otherworldly beauty garners him particular attention among those aesthetically inclined.
 
When channeling vis throughout his body, Nabriales' skin and horns take on various hues in a scintillating rainbow pattern. 
 
 
[b]Personality:[/b] Nabriales is part narcissist, part egotist, and part downright flirty - he is a man of great pleasure, and often finds it primarily in himself and his actions. Nabriales is, as most of his kind are, a prodigy in the magical arts - and this natural talent has shaped his perceptions of greatness for as long as he has been in this world. Everything always came easily to Nabriales, and he has internalised his easy successes as greatness - though he takes this far less seriously than he is like to let on. He does fundamentally believe that he is on another level, and that the majority of the people that he meets are beneath him, but does so in an endearing sort of way that leaves very little room for misinterpretation - prideful as he may be, he is well aware of his limits and is keenly perceptive of the capabilities of those around him.
 
Nabriales is also somewhat of a hedonist, preferring to play instead of work. In order to actually get anything done, he tries to mentally categorise as many activities as play as he physically can - and this is usually accomplished by doing everything he can with his whimsical and capricious nature and simultaneously trying to include physical relations in as many of his activities as he thinks he can get away with (which is an awful lot). As a result, Nabriales is an extremely tactile individual, and prefers hands-on contact in as many instances as possible. To many, this is a nuisance initially, but due to his fairly captivating beauty and generally intoxicating demeanour many simply learn that it is the way he works and accept it for what it is - a playful manner of going about what would otherwise be uninteresting.
 
Nabriales is a homosexual, and is fairly forward with it - even if it is not immediately obvious from sight alone, his interactions with any male that shows the slightest hint of interest very quickly confirm it. He is well-known for his habit of bedding people as often as possible, especially those that he has business dealings with, as he considers intimate relations the sign of a deal well-struck. If confronted about his behaviour, he is quick to apologise for any overstepped boundaries but will absolutely not tone down his flirtatious nature, and depending on the nature of the rejection will take it as a personal challenge to get what he wants. Due to his profession and innate alchemical skill, it is not usually out of the question that he gets precisely what he wants - a feat that amuses him to no end.
 
In general, Nabriales is a flirty, bubbly individual that delights in his own pleasure and the pleasure of others, and will seek to be the life of any party he happens to wander into. Fortunately, he considers life to be one big party.
 
 
[b]History:[/b] To be revealed IC
 
Belongings/Equipment

[hider]Stash of Crystal Vials - True to the Taeryn line, Nabriales is capable of crafting crystals from pure vis. He has created several crystals, one for each colour of the rainbow, that he has sculpted into alchemical flasks to contain the various brews he creates. Due to the intrinsically magical nature of the flasks, any potions kept inside them do not lose in potency over time and will never expire. Nabriales treasures these vials, and typically uses them only for the most potent alchemical creations that he can muster, or for very close friends/relatives.
 
The Alkahest - Nabriales has synthesised an extremely potent solvent that he calls the Alkahest, named after the mythical universal solvent. The Alkahest is kept within a vial lined with runic magic that prevents the Alkahest from ever touching the sides and suspends the liquid in midair, preventing anything from interacting with it or vice-versa. Nabriales is capable of manipulating the liquid with his vis, which will rapidly dissolve almost any substance that it touches, excepting that which has a great deal of imbued vis. The vial of Alkahest is capable of dissolving an entire human body within 60 seconds, down to 5 seconds if the human is dead.
 
Generic water filled vials - Nabriales has a stock room in his store (Victorious Secret) filled with generic glass vials filled with water that each have a rune emblazoned upon them that allow him to summon them to his hands at a moment’s notice.
 
Cellphone - Used to pick up dudes and call clients. Mostly the former.[/hider]

Alchemy / Potion Making [Imprinted]

Nabriales is an exceptionally gifted alchemist, in part due to his status as a Precursor Descendant and in part due to natural talent. He has studied Alchemy for an extremely long time, focusing almost entirely upon it, and as a result is able to make any common potion merely with his vis alone (along with some special potions of his own creation) - rarer and more exceptional potions still require certain rare ingredients, but he is adept at making the most of them and providing only the highest quality of product when finished.
 
Crystals [Imprinted]

Vis Crystals of various types are used as currency for the five families. Because of this, the ability to make them has been passed down through the generations. Nabriales is only able to make crystals that do not have a particular element to them, but is particularly adept at the manipulation of their shape and can create fairly large crystals when given time and energy.
 
 
The Sight [Imprinted]

A unique adaptation in the human Ostium, the Sight is a genetically transferable trait that allows an individual not only to perceive vis visually, but to see its presence in all things. While humans are capable of learning to perceive vis to some degree, the Sight is something else entirely. The differences are twofold, with the first difference being that it must be inherited or otherwise genetically activated; while the second is the Sight’s ability to not only perceive vis, but to perceive it all the way down to the deepest level. This essentially allows an individual to see reality in its constituent parts; represented in their purest, most accurate form--at least insofar as the mortal experience is concerned.

However, despite the incredible abilities of this genetic ability, the Sight is not without its weaknesses. For most humans, particularly, the Sight takes a great toll on the body and the mind, as it allows an individual to take in far more information than the human brain is designed to handle in a given period of time. Reates, even with his enhanced physicality, is plagued by this issue, essentially forcing him to somewhat limit his Sight barring brief uses or exceptional circumstances. This is also uniquely troublesome for Reates due to the fact that his Sight is significantly more potent than that of most humans who develop it--Precursor Descendants excepted.

It should be noted that humans who are born, or who awaken the Sight via genetic tampering, will not gain the inherent understanding of [i]what[/i] they are perceiving or how to control it. This, coupled with the Sight being ludicrously rare in the vast majority of humanity, makes it perhaps one of the most mysterious, and certainly powerful, forms of inherently magical traits.
The Mechanics of the Sight

The difference between normal humans and humans with the Sight is thus: Humans with the Sight have exceptionally broad channels of their Ostium that directly interface with their eyes, naturally projecting from, and pulling vis into, the eyes. These broad vis channels, in Sight-inheriting humans, are structured almost identically to the vis channels of a powerful mage's Ostium, though with small alterations. These alterations, rather than allow the individual to use spells by coding vis with intention, or altering the patterns that it follows, instead allow the individual to "shift" the amount of detail and "depth" they can see when observing vis. This ability differentiates a Sight-inheritor from a normal human. This is due to the fact that, despite their ability to broaden the vis channels in their eyes so as to perceive vis, they cannot give those vis channels the ability to differentiate the same level of detail/depth as a Sight-Inheritor could.

Note: Precursor Descendant "Sight" is generally better due to the fact that their "second Ostium," stores the necessary genetic information to properly interpret the information brought in by the Sight. Furthermore, the ability has a 50% (or so) chance of being inherited by their children, with a lesser 30% chance of the Sight being properly potent in said offspring. In addition to this ability to interpret the information somewhat intuitively--provided they try to delve into the Sight's use--a Precursor can imprint their Sight again so as to increase the intuitive grasp of generations to come.
 
Vis Sense [Not Imprinted]
The ability to sense, or feel vis in one's surroundings. Nabriales’ non-imprinted version is strong enough to allow him to sense the different races' vis, but only on a very cursory level. His Vis Sense is tuned enough to detect the vis within objects, however.
 
Teleportation [Imprinted]
Nabriales is particularly skilled at teleportation magic - he is able to teleport himself and up to two other people to any location on Medius that he has visited before or has a detailed map of and feel for the ambient vis in the location (which is largely restricted to areas he knows, such as Ominar or the compound). Nabriales’ specialty also extends to teleporting objects marked with runes, though this specifically requires preparation and can only really be used on objects that he has personally invested vis into.
 
Elements: Fire, Light [Not Imprinted]
Nabriales is capable of casting novice to intermediate level fire and light spells, as well as imbuing objects with their properties or creating minor vis constructs from those two elements. It is an art that he struggles with somewhat, and often neglects to use except to apply heat when making potions.[/hider]

Relationships / Friendships:

[hider=Sophia Taeryn]
Nabriales and Sophia have a close relationship, having maintained at least weekly contact for as long as they have been in Ominar. Nabriales recognises Sophia's extreme potential and is keen to continue to teach her magic as he did when they were children - but he realises that soon it will be her having to teach him. The pair work very well together, and always attempt to make time for one another at least once a week. Nabriales also gives Sophia the Family discount of 100% (which he doesn't do for any other member of his family).[/hider][/hider]
