[hider=Arthur Wick] [hider=Appearance][img]http://i.imgur.com/g6mWd2E.jpg[/img][/hider] [i][color=9e0b0f]Ah, it's good to see so many fine young minds furthering their studies.[/color][/i] [b]Name:[/b] Headmaster Arthur Wick [b]Race:[/b] Human [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Appearance:[/b] By no means a young man, Arthur bears the wrinkles of age and the whiteness of hair to prove his age. To compound this he carries with him the scars earned from a lifetime of adventuring, and the marks of a war long since past. With a long white beard and heavy robes Wick is the walking stereotype of a wizened wizard, in fact the old man may be deliberately presenting himself as such. His clothes are oft made of heavy fabrics in various hues of brown, with rubies accenting his attire and aiding in his spellcraft when needed. [b]Magic:[/b] Fire: 20 Lightning:4 Mana: 12 Spirit:8 Natural: 18 [b]Technique:[/b] Pyromancy: Arthur’s primary response to conflict is to incinerate any and everything in the way. While it is not by any means a creative use of fire magic it is nonetheless effective, and Arthur augments his fire with lightning magic to slightly speed up his fire as well as his body. Sagecraft: Arthur uses his skill with mana to craft magical arms and armor. Though not as skilled as some the Headmaster’s skill for enchantment is certainly a boon frequently enough. Summoning: Headmaster Wick also dabbles in the art of summoning with his spirit magic. While by no means skilled with the art Arthur is fond of conjuring flaming specters to harass his foes or fetch his tea. Phoenix Fire: Arthur’s skill with Natural magic is what allowed him to survive the many harsh battles of the Divines war. With this technique healing energy, as well as fire, races across his wounds, healing him. Though it is a painful process the healing is extremely quick, though Arthur is unable to use this skill on others unfortunately. [b]Bio:[/b] Arthur was born in the North Western United States. Early in his life he was orphaned, as a direct result of his newly found skill with magic and fire. Fleeing into the woods Arthur was discovered by an angel, who from then on raised and educated the boy. Teaching Arthur of the world, including the knowledge and history of magic the angel also made sure to teach young Arthur the art of combat, in particular how to fight with a spear. Once Arthur was old enough his mentor left him, leaving him only with a large sum of cash and instructions on how to find and get enrolled into a magical academy in the english channel. It was there that Arthur really learnt his art, becoming ever more skilled with fire, and ever more confident. Not long after graduating Arthur and his friends formed a sort of adventuring party, people who accepted jobs posted by the then all powerful society of mages. The party were busy investigating a case of missing livestock when they stumbled upon a dragon’s den, and the cocky group of young adults charged in head first with Arthur at the helm. Only one left that cave. After fierce battle Arthur had overpowered the dragon, though barely survived himself. However Arthur now possessed the dragon’s immense hoard, as well as an egg from the den. Arthur then went into a life of drunkenness and wild parties in a mad effort to forget his old life and fallen friends and for awhile it worked. Until the egg he had taken hatched. It was a wakeup sign, one that told Arthur to pull himself together again. Taking a job as an instructor at a magic academy located high in the mountains of France Arthur was happy for a time, teaching students and raising his new pseudo-child dragonling. Then there was the war. While the exact sequence of events are hard to pinpoint Arthur is most certainly a major player in the war, riding upon his dragon child and raining down fire upon his foes. When the war was over Arthur knew that nothing could be the way it was, and so after burying the remains of his draconic ward he made an effort to further his education in all things magical and after half a year of strict study he mobilized his efforts to build a new magical academy, one that would bridge the gap between the modern world and the magical one. Since then Arthur has been running his school, as well as ensuring peace between the various nations of the world. [/hider]
