[color=lightblue]Appearance:[/color]
Scrawny and short in stature, Emil doesn't cut a particularly intimidating look at first glance. Though not stout or muscular, his body does possess the appearance of one used to traveling long distances, and is in appreciable fitness. His blonde hair, while slightly unruly, is pulled behind his head in a short ponytail, and his eyes are a gleaming emerald color. He wears a shirt of chainmail underneath his blue tunic, along with a stiff leather breastplate for protection. Over his clothes and armor, Emil wears a pilgrim's cloak, and carries a simple shortsword, and a wooden staff with a small crystal atop it. The staff has several simple spell runes carved into it, for quick use.

[color=lightblue]Personality:[/color]
Timid and gentle by nature, Emil is about as noncombative as they come. Warm and kind-hearted, Emil is a modest young mage with a strong sense of morality. Level headed and rational, Emil tries his best to stay brave and rational in the face of hardship and adversity, but can occasionally show cowardice. Emil is rather impressionable, and expresses a desire to learn various skills and tricks from the older veterans, though is often self conscious about his lesser abilities when compared to that of the more experienced members of the group. Honest and trustworthy, Emil is compassionate and kind, if a little shy and soft-spoken. A very down to earth and grounded individual, Emil posseses a calm and generally positive demeanor, that only occasionally borders on naivety.

[color=lightblue]History:[/color] 
A soft spoken and gentle youth from Lumoise, his appearance and manner of dress marks him as a person from the Kanan Region of Southern Lumoise. Emil was born to a rather modest family, and was the eldest and only son of a small town Pastor. Emil showed aptitude for magic at a young age, and his father a Mage-Pastor, was delighted to teach him the basics of magic. Growing up, Emil learned magical runes alongside learning how to read and write, and possessed a high level of mastery for basic level spells. Saving up what little money their family had, his father was eventually able to send him to a Lumoise Mages School at the age of 10. 

At the mages schools, Emil, like the rest of the young initiates, were taught the basics and intricacies of magic, learned in reading, writing and mathematics, and were educated to the standard of nobles their age. The most promising of the young mages were also introduced to the intricacies of swordplay and other martial weapons, in order to find suitable candidates for the next class of Lumoise's Mage Knights. While Emil was eager and enthusiastic, and showed considerable promise with magic, the Archmages of the school found that he lacked the aggression and confidence suitable for, and expected of a Mage Knight. Instead, Emil continued to learn how to harness his magical abilities, achieving the rank of Adept in the School of Blessings at the young age of 16.

At the age of 18, Emil graduated from the Mages School. Like most graduates of the Mages School, Emil embarked on a year long pilgrimage- a journey across the world to gain them experience and worldly knowledge, as well as give them an opportunity to test their crafts. While most conducted their pilgrimages within Lumoise's borders, working as apprentices or plying their craft in the various cities in Lumoise, Emil and a few others decided to take a ship to Caradia, and venture through the vast lands of the Empire for their pilgrimage.

It was during this pilgrimage that Emil and several of his friends discover the trouble that was brewing in Caradia. A combination of plague and various, mysterious monsters terrorizing the far lands of the Empire. Having spent most of his pilgrimage in Caradia healing those who had been wounded by such creatures or ravaged by plague, losing several of his friends in the process, when Emil heard that the Emperor himself was nearby, and seeking out the source of the troubles personally, Emil couldn't help but feel the need to be there as well. 

[color=lightblue]Anything extra:[/color] 
Though primarily a healer and a mage, a few years in school and a year on the road has given Emil passing experience in a variety of fields. He possesses the basic knowledge of swordplay, knows how to tend wounds without magic if needed, and can fire a bow- though is incapable of reliably hitting moving (or even standing) targets. He also knows some cooking, sewing, and other more mundane skills for everyday purposes.
