I did a thing. [hider=Joseph Milit] [b]Name:[/b] Joseph Milit [b]Appearance:[/b] Joseph has short brown hair, blue eyes, and stands at 184cm (6ft). He usually keeps himself neat and tidy, although not to an excessive degree. He prefers to wear simple clothing that doesn’t get in the way of any physical activity. If he has a choice in the matter, he will show up in a plain combination of a shirt and pants, but if there’s a dress code, he will absolutely keep up with it. Joseph has a personal disdain for pointlessly showy displays of appearance, and goes out of his way not to indulge in anything of the sort if he can help it. [b]Age:[/b] 18 [b]Species:[/b] Human [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Occupation:[/b] Student, First Year [b]Personality:[/b] Joseph is a big cynic, though not to the point that he’s overtly hostile. He’ll make conversation, but don’t come to him if you’re looking for a kind word and a hug. Joseph is frank and “to the point” in any conversation, as he hates to make small talk and feels that making progress on something is more important than a person’s feelings. If somebody has a legitimate problem, Joseph likes to think he would do everything he can to help them with it, provided he actually can. He has been taught that any proper military unit operates on co-operation between its soldiers, and so he strives to live up to that ideal. Joseph’s big motivation in life is to just do well at any given task. Whether it’s soldiering or scrubbing the floors, Joseph wants to leave off every day feeling he has done his best and met with the satisfaction of others. He’s not competitive about it, and he could care less if someone else does it better as long as he feels he’s done right by himself and others. He also lacks any ambition to rise in status, as he finds the idea of being an officer laughable and even undesirable. He prefers simple work for simple gains.

From an early age, he took an interest in military affairs from the point of view of an ordinary soldier. As a child, he always romanticised the idea of being something of a hero that went out and fought all the Empire’s enemies and brought peace and justice to the land. His dad would always laugh when he talked about it, though Joseph would take a while to realise why. Joseph also saw the discrimination faced by Chimeras and considered it a great injustice, and one that he would strive to right in later years. He got his chance to strike a blow for what was right when he found a Chimera hiding in the backyard of their house. Joseph had no idea why, but he could tell they were fleeing from the authorities who were making a big stink of searching for him in the community. The young boy thought the only right thing to do was to offer to hide the Chimera in his house. The Chimera gleefully accepted the offer, and Joseph decided to go one step further and give the local guards a false tip that he saw the Chimera escaping the district. With his task completed, Joseph arrived back home, where neither of his parents had been at the time, to find that the Chimera he had sheltered had stolen multiple items from his house and fled the area for real. He would later learn said Chimera had indeed been fleeing on account of being a thief. Joseph was greatly disappointed, and he doubly feared his parents would be furious. As it turned out, his father was more sympathetic than he realised, and just told him that these things happened. When Joseph asked him what he should do, with his primitive world view having been shattered, his father told him the only thing he could truly rely on in this world was hard work. It was after that event that Joseph rededicated himself to the idea of joining the military. This time not for some childish ideal of being a hero, but simply to put effort into something he felt he could succeed at and have it pay off. His great mission was no longer to stand up for “justice” or anything like that but to just work hard. With the discovery of some magic talent in him, he decided to attend Mordhaben’s Institute for Aspiring Mages. While he could care less about the prestige or the ability to do fancy magic, he figured that if he could actually cast spells, he may as well join the military as a magic soldier rather than a regular one.
