[color=DodgerBlue][b]Name:[/b][/color] Alexander Fulger

[color=DodgerBlue][b]Age:[/b][/color] 15

[color=DodgerBlue][b]Element:[/b][/color] Lightening

[color=DodgerBlue][b]Appearance:[/b][/color] Alexander is an average height of 5'9" with a slim but toned build, snow white hair, and piercing blue eyes. His attire often consists of an old hoodie and a pair of jeans. He has glasses, that he should wear, but often refuses too. 

[color=DodgerBlue][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Alexander is a quiet young man who has a tendency to keep to himself. Although he often wants to join in a conversation, he has trouble speaking his mind, a true shame because he is actually quite insightful even at such a young age. He is intelligent and talented, but thinks little of himself and lacks the self confidence to truly put his talents to good use. He has as exceptionally kind heart, and will go out of his way most times to help others. 

Hidden deep inside Alexander is strength and determination that he rarely lets others see. He knows, deep down, that he could be something more, but childhood traumas and an inability to truly believe in himself holds him back. The only times his strong, fierce side become evident are when he is defending someone who he truly thinks of as a friend. 

When it comes to his studies few are willing to push themselves quite as hard as Alexander. He loves learning to use his abilities and has a tendency to become truly enthralled with his practice, almost to the point where he forgets that there is anyone else around.

[color=DodgerBlue][b]History:[/b][/color] Alexander's life was never one of ease or happiness. His mother, Lianna Fulger, it is said, was a kind and loving woman, if a bit quiet. She was a talented water elementalist, but rarely used her powers. His father, Edward Fulger, is still considered one of the most powerful and influential fire elementalists to ever live, and perhaps one of the cruelest. 

Alexander's mother died giving birth to him, so his only way of knowing her was a locket that his grandfather gave to him. His family has always had money, and so he never wanted for any material thing growing up. He father, however, treated the boy as if he was a disappointment, and openly blamed him for the death of Lianna. He grew up being pushed to his limits by his father who only cared about having a worthy heir to the Fulger dynasty. His father payed for private tutors and attempted to raise Alexander to be just like him, however, the boys quiet and subdued nature enraged the man and caused him to lash out both mentally and physically at his son. 

The only bright point in Alexander's life was his grandfather, who he was allowed to see on rare occasions. His grandfather was a saint of a man, and would shower Alexander with love and praise, and tell him how truly proud Lianna would have been of him. Sadly, when Alexander was only 10, his grandfather passed away. He did however, leave Alexander his "lucky hoodie" and his great grandfathers walking stick, to items that Alexander can rarely be found without. 

Even though the loss of his grandfather nearly crushed him, Alexander still pushed himself and showed real promise, but an inability to truly believe in himself always stopped him from achieving his true potential. Three years ago, Edward remarried and his wife gave birth to another baby boy. His father, believing that Alexander was a lost cause, sent him away to the academy where he could, [color=FireBrick]"Either learn to become a real man or never burden the Fulger doorstep again."[/color] Though perhaps a little scared, and rather alone, Alexander can feel a growing spark inside himself, a drive that will, perhaps, push him to become something greater then his father ever was, and if he's lucky, make the spirits of his mother and grandfather proud.

[color=B22222][b]Name:[/b][/color] Ivan Vonderbull

[color=B22222][b]Age:[/b][/color] 36

[color=B22222][b]Element:[/b][/color] Blood

[color=B22222][b]Appearance:[/b][/color] Ivan is tall, around 6'2" with a strong build and crimson hair. His eyes are silver and his skin fairly pale. His clothes are always striking and fashionable, but often consist of some form of button up shirt and a jacket or vest.

[color=B22222][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Ivan is highly intelligent and well read. He spends a vast amount of time going over the books within the library, though he is incredibly secretive about what it is he is researching. He likes to keep his library quiet and any overly boisterous students learn quickly it is better to stay quiet then incur the librarians wrath, though he is always willing help a student in need. He does, on occasion, enjoy the company of other teachers, and has a slight tendency to flirt with some of his female comrades, if only in an innocent and friendly manner. He is surprisingly brave and actually quite strong, although he rarely shows it. 

[color=B22222][b]History:[/b][/color] Ivan, was not a handsome lad growing up. He was short, acne ridden, and a good deal overweight. He was a talented student and had an aptitude for his element, but this only made him more of an outcast in the eyes of regular people. There was something that seemed even more disturbing about manipulation blood. His parents were both non elementalists and thus were intimidated by their own child. They still loved him, but it was difficult for a non-elementalist family to deal with such a strange child, and so he was shipped off to the academy.

Even at the academy Ivan was considered...strange. He was woefully unpopular and was forced to spend most of his time alone. As a consequence of his nonexistent social life he was able to spend a great deal of his time studying his element and its many uses. He poured himself into his studies and by graduation was already a force to be reckoned with. After the Academy, Ivan sort of just, disappeared. There is no record of where he was or what he was doing, but five years after leaving the academy he suddenly reappeared. 

This Ivan looked almost nothing like the other had. He was taller, thin and muscular, and his face was clean and striking. He asked the headmaster for a position at the school and after some private discussion, it was agreed too. Ivan has been working at the school ever sense. What exactly he is searching for among the thousands of books is unknown but to a select few, but Ivan shows no signs of going anywhere soon.  

[color=B22222][b]Equipment:[/b][/color] A large journal that he keeps notes in and a small ring with what looks like a sharp hook in impeded in the top of it.

[color=B22222][b]Class Taught:[/b][/color] Generally Ivan only acts as the librarian, although he will substitute for one of the other teachers or give a student private lessons when needed.
