[sub][color=#86608E][b]✦ P E R S O N A L I T Y[/b][/color][/sub][indent][indent]Arrogant, self-centered, and quick to temper, Nyx is often summed up by others as a 'pompous ass', and they are seldom wrong. His former position of Second Seat within the Miracle Seven has given him an inflated sense of worth. It's almost instinctual for Nyx to lord his power over others; needlessly reminding them of their inferior abilities when compared to himself. Which is why he finds his current predicament to be such humiliation. Instead of becoming a venerated sorcerer whose name will be forever etched into the annals of history, he now finds himself teaching others to become what he has failed to do. It's all a cruel joke to him.

The primary source of all of his resentment and contempt is his self-proclaimed rival and former First Seat of the Miracle Seven: Weis Lucero. Nyx plans to one day take revenge on Weis, mainly by upstaging him in some grand, elaborate manner. Ironically enough, Weis considers themselves good friends and treats Nyx with nothing but respect and kindness—a gesture not reciprocated by Nyx. Furthermore, they still keep in contact with each other even after graduating, much to Nyx's annoyance.

It isn't difficult to get on Nyx's good side. A simple appeal to his ego works nearly every time. As a professor, Nyx has little interest in the standard curriculum, often choosing to implement his own manner of instruction which are harsh and demanding, bordering on life or death even in some cases. He pulls no punches when speaking with his students and will tell the harshest of truths without batting an eye.

His is indeed a rough exterior, but, perhaps, that will all change with time as he grows closer to his students over the coming semester.[/indent][/indent]
[sub][color=#86608E][b]✦ H I S T O R Y[/b][/color][/sub][indent][indent]A child born on the evening of a black star, Nyx's father was a trader and his mother a florist. Even as a young child, Nyx had an aptitude for magic and, swiftly, his fascination for Manology—the study of mana—grew. He had few friends growing up and preferred to spend his time in the world of books, especially the ones about heroes and monsters. His favorite heroes were those gifted with great magical powers. Between that and his mana research, Nyx spent most of his childhood in self-isolation.

He entered the academy at the age of 14 with some not-so heroic intentions. Instead of wanting to graduate in order to help the world fight against evil, his goal was merely that of fame and validation for all of his efforts. Within a year, he had joined the Miracle Seven as its Seventh Seat and worked his way to the Second Seat the year after that. His inclination toward the use of darkness-related spells earned him the moniker of the 'Dark Star of the Miracle Seven'. However, he could never eclipse the genius that was Weis Lucero, the former First Seat, and that's where their one-sided rivalry began.

Upon graduation some two years prior to the current date, the former members of the 106th generation of the Miracle Seven went their separate ways but Weis always made it a point to keep in touch with Nyx who he views as his closest friend. With big dreams for his future, Nyx set off on his grand journey to the unknown, seeking to become a legend. But, alas, his dreams would only end up dashed against the rocks.

Everywhere he went, he found it difficult to find adventurer work due to his ego. He wouldn't accept any job he considered beneath his ability. Meanwhile, his rival would take on any job of all kinds and would inadvertently show him up at every turn. Weis was quickly making a name for himself while Nyx spiraled further into obscurity. 

That is until his fateful encounter with Avalice's headmaster, Alphonse Augustine. Augustine recognized the former genius and asked him how he had been faring after graduating from the academy. Either too proud or too embarrassed to admit the truth, Nyx said he was pursing ventures other than heroism. To which Augustine asked if he was interested in an open position at the academy during his break from adventuring. Reluctant but in a state of desperation, Nyx accepted, not knowing what future awaits him.[/indent][/indent][hr][right][color=#86608E]C O M B A T ◄[/color][/right][sub][color=#86608E][b]✦ C L A S S I F I C A T I O N[/b][/color][/sub][indent][indent]Magic[/indent][/indent]

[sub][color=#86608E][b]✦ E Q U I P M E N T[/b][/color][/sub][indent][indent][url=https://i.postimg.cc/P5jqDYRm/Lexicon.jpg]Lexicon[/url]: Through his immense magical powers, what was previously a grimoire has reforged itself into a Lexicon—the highest form of a magic tome. Whereas grimoires and spellbooks contain individual spells, a Lexicon contains the 'Language of Mana'. When one understands the language, they can see all of the components of a spell and, using the language, can craft any variety of spells in an instant. There are few individuals throughout Alrune that possesses a Lexicon. Those that do are easily considered geniuses in the magical arts. But even then, the 'Language of Mana' is complex and it would take many lifetimes to grasp its boundless intricacies.[/indent][/indent]

[sub][color=#86608E][b]✦ S P E L L S[/b][/color][/sub][indent][indent]✤ [b]Living Element[/b]: Nyx creates and manipulates black-colored flames or lightning that has limited sentience. They are more powerful than the same elements cast at a lower class and will consume their respective element to gain potency. The Living Elements' movements are akin to tendrils or tentacles, lending an eldritch effect to their appearance.

✤ [b]Shroud[/b]: Nyx opens up a rift to a dark dimension surrounding himself or another person. Spells cast against the shroud at a lower class is devoured immediately, nullifying its effects. While protected by the shroud, the person within cannot move from their location or it is dispelled. Physical force—including magically-enhanced force—will break the shroud with enough damage. The shroud can also be worn as a suit of armor to allow for movement but its nullification effect on spells will drastically lessen.

✤ [b]Doppelganger[/b]: Nyx can create clones from his own shadow that can act freely independent of himself. Nyx and his clones have a shared perspective, meaning that their physiological senses are connected. The clones are also limited to casting only lower class spells. Nyx must be able to cast a shadow to use this spell and, at the moment, his limit is ten clones at any one time.

✤ [b]Devouring Rain[/b]: Nyx darkens the sky in a limited vicinity and causes it to pour black rain. Contact with the rain causes the gradual draining of mana until complete exhaustion. Nyx is immune to its effects but to keep the spell active means that Nyx's mana also drains albeit at a much slower rate.

✤ [url=http://greywolf.critter.net/images/ad%26d/clipart/sword-shadow.jpg][b]Darkeater[/b][/url]: While not primarily a physical fighter, Nyx is well-rounded enough to competently engage in melee combat. His preferred weapon of choice is a shadowy sword conjured by his magic. It can 'eat' darkness and shadows in order to store power within the blade which can then be fired off as powerful slashing beams of energy. If the blade is stabbed into a person's shadow, they will be pinned in place until the sword is removed or the influence is broken through force of will.

✤ [b]Still World[/b]: Nyx entraps himself and an opponent within a pitch black dimension where one's sight, smell, hearing, and speech are completely unusable. The only reliable way to find your opponent is by sensing their mana. The spell ends when either one person is defeated or Nyx closes the dimension. To an outsider's perspective, the two combatants appear to be trapped within a giant black cube.

✤ [b]Low-Level Craft[/b]: Using his knowledge of the 'Language of Mana', Nyx can craft a variety of lower class spells at will.[/indent][/indent][hr][center][color=#86608E]► P A R A M E T E R S ◄[/color]
