Eric takes his responsibility as a member of the guild very seriously and is prepared to do anything to ensure that another Dark guild can't hurt anybody without going through him first. The dark guild attack, apart from giving him the resolution to protect the village also gave him some mental scars of his own. Eric can't use his Take Over magic without the help of his belt, the belt doesn't do anything more than making some sounds and glow for a short time, but it acts as a placebo effect for him to initiate his transformation, with the curious side effect that he know yells transform every time he is going to use his magic. Another side effect of this is that Eric can only do a full body Take Over, leaving him unable to use partial transformations. The belt has become such a part of his life that if he isn't wearing it for long periods of time Eric feels useless and doesn't want to do anything and is adamant in using it despite all the evidence pointing out it doesn't do anything to help him to use his magic. While it's not known if it is the remnant magic of the mage who attacked him or a mental trauma that Eric developed in the aftermath of the attack, Eric had the word “Useless” whispered into his mind multiple times a day and while now with the help of the belt this has no longer happened, hearing the someone call him or someone close to him useless fill him with rage. Once he transforms into one of the insect souls Eric enters sort of a trance into what could be said to be a soldier: following orders to the letter and not delivering any mercy to those he considers enemies. Unlike his use of the belt this is something Eric has been trying to change as he feels that he could be easily fooled into attacking his teammates but progress has been slow. [color=lightgreen] [b]History::[/b][/color] [hider=I think I overdid this.] Born to a pair of traveling merchants named Marco and Eli, Eric didn't have many friends since they were always on the go, instead his free time was spent exploring the multiple forests they traveled during their journeys and looking for insects to trap and add to his collections, which he had to hide from his parents if he didn't want them to release them. His interest in insects would lead to his magic awakening when they were on Luna Crescente, Eric could do a partial transformation on his arms and legs with little effort, surprising a local mage who told Marco and Eli that if Eric stayed with the guild and trained with them he could achieve a full body transformation in about 2 years and achieve great things with the help of the guild. Marco decided to extend his stay for a few more days to think about the offer. Luna Crescente was a popular place for merchants and they visited here at least once a year so it's not that they would never see him again and Eric needed to meet new people to befriend apart from shopkeepers and other merchants, they had a few friends who could take care of Eric, there was also the opportunity to settle down in a place. And so as the days passed, reasons for and against were made but in the end, both of them decided on leaving the final say to Eric, saying to him that it was his future and that they would accept his decision. Eric who was 13 at the time, didn't give much thought into it; he liked the idea of being a guild member but he felt he was still too young and it's not like his magic would disappear so he could join when he felt like it. So he continued to travel with his parents, practicing his magic every now and then. He would return many times over the next year selling different materials to the shops with his family, unfortunately on one of his visits to the city they arrived just on the eve of the dark guild attack. Caught in surprise on the attack, Eric and his family tried to escape the city, hoping that the dark guild didn't notice. From the center of the city, they managed to avoid being attacked by the dark guild right until they were on the outskirts of the city. There was only one man in front of them, covered head to toe in a black robe with a completely white mask with no nose or mouth, only two completely black eyes. The man makes no move on them only standing still but an aura of unease could be felt, Eric knew it was to fight or die so he used his take over to transform his arm into the one of a beetle, closed his eyes and with all his might he ran towards him prepared to dealt a blow in the chest. After Eric didn't feel the punch connecting, he opened the eyes to reveal that in fact, he had never moved, with his fist extended in the direction of the man; Eric found himself unable to move and with a feeling of intense dread that only grew as the man got closer to him. By the time the man was extremely close to Eric, the feeling of dread had combined with one of hopelessness and desperation, the air had become cold, breathing became difficult and the surroundings became dark as his vision concentrated on one thing: The man in black robes. The man leaned over to Eric's ear and whispered two simple words [b]Useless magician[/b]. Eric would wake up days later in a hospital bed, looking at the other people sleeping on their beds with each one of them having uncomfortable faces as if they were a bad dream. Eric tried to stand up from his bed but as soon as he tried to stand up the word “useless” flashed upon his mind, paralysing him and making it difficult to breathe, Eric gritted his teeth and began moving, barely managing to exit the room and catch the attention of a mage nearby before collapsing. Now waking up with a couple mages in front of him one of them proceeded to explain to him what happened: Eric and his family had encountered with one of the dark guild strongest mages; Phobos the god slayer of fear capable of instilling enough fear to leave people in long comas without even touching them and Eric was one of the few people that was attacked by him and was part of an even fewer number of people who had managed to wake up with part of the fear magic of Phobos used still lingering on him. Within a few weeks Eric was able to normally walk and move, the effects of the magic had diminished enough that he could move normally but it still affected him in other areas; for example his partial transformation was simply unusable, wherever this was the result of Phobos' magic or he is subconsciously blocking it Eric doesn't know. Another thing was the sudden whispering of the word “Useless” it didn't happen many times but often enough to get on his nerves. To get money while waiting for his parents to wake up, Eric started working up on a Magic shop of a friend of his parents who had taken him in his care until they woke up. On his free time, he tried to use his partial transformation to no avail. Eric needed a way to use his magic again if he wanted to take revenge on Phobos and he would find his chance once special day one year after the attack on Luna Crescente. Eric was in charge of the store when the new batch of magic items arrived, paying the merchant and beginning to unpackage the items to put them on a shelf, Eric found something that caught his attention. It was a “Magic man transforming belt” a toy of a popular mage, upon looking at the toy a light went on inside Eric's head. Opening the container of one of the belts and putting it on, Eric closed his eyes and began to breathe slowly, he began visualizing that he was just Mage man; a hero that needed to transform before using his powers, a protector of the innocents and someone without mercy for their enemies. With his eyes still closed he slowly pressed the buttons on the sides of the belt, while faintly saying “transform”. At first Eric began to hear the sounds that the belt made but immediately after he began to feel heavier, opening his eyes he saw his blue arms the same ones that he had when he did a partial take over with the the blue armor all over his body now. Thinking “Untransform” in his mind made him return back to normal. Eric couldn't believe what happened, tears ran down his face as he realized he could wake up his parents now. Eric would enter Harpy's Wing at 15 and with training for 3 with the guild Eric has managed to obtain the Grasshoper and Ladybug souls.

The toy is waterproof and doesnt come with lacrima. [color=lightgreen] [b]Theme Song::[/b][/color] https://youtu.be/Epyo246sLeg [/CENTER] [/hider]
