[hider=Conrad Hiss]
[b]Name:[/b] Conrad Orion Hiss
[b]Appearance:[/b] Conrad is tall for his age, with lighter skin and almost blond hair, which he likes to wear long. If not required to wear a uniform for school, he prefers a casual but robust outfit comprising of a dark-toned denim jacket over a graphic-print t-shirt with slightly lighter long jeans and light athletic shoes.
[b]Age:[/b] 17
[b]Bio:[/b] Not much to say here; Conrad is the son of Taylor, the foreigner; and Celeste, the Descendant of the Illuminated Poet. He's aware of it, thanks to capturing the interest of his grandfather; but his father's influence leaves him skeptical that his lineage is That Big a Deal. Still, said grandfather convinced Taylor to have his son enrolled at the Marduk Academy at the earliest of opportunities.
[b]Mundane Skills:[/b] He's decently athletic, mostly a runner.
[b]Magic:[/b] Between his education and his lineage, he hasn't really managed to identify a specialty for his talent, but he personally leans on wind-based magic, as well as picking up some extra practice with fire from his father.
[b]Personality:[/b] At first glance, Conrad might seem inattentive, unmotivated, withdrawn, or even lazy. More accurately, he feels isolated from his surroundings, having listened to too many arguments between his father and grandfather about what he should do with his life; at 17, he doesn't really have an answer, but he feels he should find a niche of his own pretty soon.
[b]Faction:[/b] Attends Marduk, but has learned his father's problematic tendency to question things, especially things others would like him to take for granted.
[b]Are you a Descendant of the Illuminated Poet?:[/b] Yes.
