I've got one more character to add in. He'll be an official who helps oversee various areas of the city. [hider=Tibrus] Name: Tibrus Heatherman - The Architect (Tih-Bruss Hee-ther-men) Race: Human [hider=Appearance] {I'll find an image at some point} Looks wise he is rather plain, short and messy black hair that now sports greys beside his temples. Round brown eyes on a slightly angular face, he stands at 5'7" and moderately fit with a slight pudge at the midriff. [/hider] [hider=Magical Abilities] Doctorate of Magical Theory Despite having no talent for most magics, light or dark, Tibrus has a keen intuition in learning the theories behind various magics. Alchemy, conjuring, teleportation, curses, blessings, the Architects mind is a veritable library of knowledge collected and studied through the decades. He has helped manage and improve upon the design of the Kingdoms magical defenses just as his forebears did. Master Potion Maker With his near encyclopedic level of knowledge and intuition Tibris can make potions of quality few aside from Elf Masters and certain long lived Beast-kin. His intuition helps Tibris find the most ideal ingredient levels and brewing conditions. He reset the bar on what most could achieve with potions, his testing methods now standard in potion examinations at the Academy. These methods and his attention to detail aided investigations to root out potion charlatans that had been plaguing Zauberheim years prior. This focus on potions, however, along with Alchemy stem from discovering at a young age that he could not perform even the basics of any other form of magic. He holds Potion master classes alongside Alchemy at the Academy and leads the testing panel for final examinations. Master Alchemist Aside from mixing potions Tibrus is a very accomplished Alchemist, again his ability to seek out the most optimal ingredient quantities and attention to detail aiding him greatly. One of his known feats was in creating a new steel composite for use in reinforcing the masonry in the Citadel and many different structures in the city today. Tibrus holds a great love and respect for Alchemy and its rules as it's the only kind of magic he can truly perform. He holds Alchemy master classes alongside Potion-making at the Academy and leads the testing panel for final examinations. [/hider] [hider=Personality] Even as a follower of Amalya, he harbors no ill for those that follow Aylama, whether they be Beastkin, Elf or man. Cares for the kingdom and her peoples regardless of affiliation. Is usually a serious individual but will crack a small smile from time to time, whether it be a joke he finds funny or whenever he hears the sound of children laughing as they play. [/hider] [hider=Background] Head Architect of the kingdom of Zauberheim. Late 30's, married to human wife with 1 daughter and son. Descendant of the original Architect that designed the Kingdom's Castle and basic layout of the city 500 years ago. Both his children are being apprenticed to be Architects, the pair having developed a new roof shingle design that is now utilized by the entire kingdom. Tibrus is a well known and respected man by the people, having been the descendant to finish the fighter's arena of the Academy before turning 20. He is not however, as respected as some of the older families of the kingdom outside the royal family. Regardless, his voice does hold some sway with the Nobles of the Kingdom and is seen as a trusted friend of the Royal Family. Highly intelligent, Tibrus is part of Zauberheim's magical research division. Though holding no talent for magic, his theoretical knowledge is surprisingly extensive, giving advice to many a young pupil of magic when they hit a wall, be they Beastkin, Elf or human. Aside from being a Professor at the Academy Tibrus also overseas most construction projects in the kingdom. With the level of expertise from his apprentices however, Tibrus can trust them with many of the smaller projects allowing Tibrus to place more focus on teaching at the Academy and leading the examination Panel. [/hider] [hider=Sample] With a slam a tome was closed shut. It was soon placed back on the shelf where it belonged with the others. Tired eyes were rubbed from the long reading session. [color=a2d39c]"Log 45, note 3. The runes in here will help the Magic Defense corp with maintaining the barriers but-"[/color] a scroll was picked up. [color=a2d39c]"-I've yet to find answers in the archives to help with recycling used mana."[/color] More tomes were returned to their proper place on the shelves. A door opened, allowing more light into the room. A young man entered, slightly out of breath while holding a small stack of papers close. His breathing returned to normal when he spotted the one cleaning the reading space. "Ah, Mr Heatherman! I was told you'd be here. Lady Marita believes she's made a breakthrough with the notes and suggestions you supplied. She said she'd be grateful if you could look it over and see if her logic is sound." The man turned, spotting the younger man in the robes of the Magic Research Corp. [color=a2d39c]"Does she now? Well, we'll just have to see. Hand the papers over boy, quickly now."[/color] The young mage jumped at the older mans tone, readily passing the papers over. Heatherman quickly began looking through the woman's notes, not making a sound. The young mages round ears twitched at the flicker of magic power candles and the rustling of papers. [color=a2d39c]"Marita does have a good start, though there are some things I'll need to discus with her about her theories on barrier convergence and array harmonization. I'll soon head to her office once I'm finished here. You go on ahead and let her know I'll be there soon, alright my boy?"[/color] The mage straightened. "Of course, Mr. Heatherman, sir! I'll be right on it." With a deep breath and slam of his small paws together the young beast-kin mage created a magic circle beneath his feet and soon, disappeared in a flash of light. With a shake of his head the older man quickly set about finishing his own task before heading out. Marita may have been young by most elf standards but she held a good head on her shoulders, tended to be forgetful though when she got excited over something. No matter, he'd discuss it with her while having a good cup of tea in her office. [/hider] [/hider]
