[b]Personality:[/b] A dull man. If one were to run into him within the Clocktower, they may confuse him for a homunculus if it were not for his reputation or appearance. Camillio fulfills all obligations expected of him with nary a complaint, though if one were to peer closely at him his pleasant smile would reveal itself to be hollow, with uncaring eyes peering down their own. If they dare to hold their gaze, one just might be able to catch a glimpse of fierce desire behind them. [b]Biography:[/b] There are few families that embody the image brought to mind when one thinks of the archetypical archmagus. It would just so happen that the Seguvia’s would be one of them. Boasting a long and storied history of over 900 years, the Seguvia’s have firmly entrenched themselves in magical society. With the birth of Camillio, it would have seemed that the Seguvia’s would be secure in their comfortable position. That Camillio would be so talented was only seen as appropriate with such a pedigree behind him. A small shard of dissatisfaction was seeded into Camillio by these expectations, though he would still find joy in immersing himself in the world of magecraft, even if his own efforts would be masked by the immense weight of his family’s history. If life had continued without any major events of note, Camillio would have spent the remainder of his life sequestered away within the family holdings, content to further progress the family craft if disappointed that his name and recognition would be subsumed under the accomplishments of the Seguvia’s. However, the eruption of the World Wars proved to be an irresistible opportunity to capture more resources. The first war proved to be profitable, with many materials, mystical and material, captured or procured from fallen houses. Tragedy would befall Camillio on the second. Briefly having taken a position within the Faculty of Policies in a political move, Camillio was assigned to a task force with the mission to investigate and if need be to convict and arrest members of the Thule Society. It would be during this assignment that he would be engaged in a duel with a formidable opponent. Though details are scarce, he would survive this ordeal with both magic circuits and crest damaged beyond what a tuner could feasibly repair within a lifetime. As a result, he would resign from his position and retreat to the family estate, his already scarce appearances at social gatherings now reduced even further. There were rumors of an appointment set up with the Lord of the Adra Castle, but with its collapse, such rumors have been silenced. News of his stirring has been murmured as of late, as it would appear that Camillio has announced his full intent to participate in the Budapest Grail War. [hr] [b]Elemental Affinity:[/b] [i]Air[/i] [b]Magic Circuit Switch:[/b] (We shall grant you this knowledge.) [b]Number of Magic Circuits:[/b] [i]D[/i] [b]Quality of Magic Circuits:[/b] [i]D[/i] [hr] [b]Magecraft:[/b] [i]Alchemy:[/i] Alchemy focused on the transmutation of the material into immaterial and it’s inverse. While it’s roots were established in the spiritual purification and ascension of earthly materials, the Seguvia’s were influenced by the discoveries and musings of Paracelsus von Hohenheim, and so incorporated his materials into their research. One theory produced by Paracelsus, and the cornerstone of the Seguvia’s magecraft, was the supposition that the light that came from the sun was that of the root. With further study and exploration on the subject, the Seguvia’s have pioneered a form of alchemy that transmutes matter into energy. While the opposite can occur, the costs of such an undertaking are considered prohibitively inefficient and wasteful compared to alternative methods. By using the sun as a ‘perfected existence’ and it’s light in order to connect with platonic forms, a form of conceptual ascension has been the major focus of research as of late. [i]Magical Attribute (Reinforcement):[/i] The magical attribute of the Seguvia. As alchemists who seek to elevate themselves towards a perfected state, their proficiency with this attribute is considered high. On the level where if applied, the targets very existence is elevated. [b]Magic Crest:[/b] 800 years old, though major damage has occurred due to past circumstances, reducing it’s quality down to something Below Average. [hr] [b]Equipment:[/b] [i]Quality:[/i] Extremely High [i]Name:[/i] Espada Ropero de la Eternidad [i]Function:[/i] There was once a theory proposed by a magus of peerless intellect that the light of the sun is that of the root. While it could not have been proven, the thought and theory persisted. In some regards, this mystic code could be said to be a product of that theory. Serving as both catalyst and conductor, Espada Ropero de la Eternidad accelerates and shapes the product of Seguvia’s ritual. By igniting and consuming human experience and will, light is produced. [i]Quality:[/i] Average [i]Name:[/i] Caldera [i]Function:[/i] A modified magical energy processor that turns the light of the sun into magical energy. Assistance for both his damaged circuits and for his servant. [i]Quality:[/i] Average [i]Name:[/i] El Destello de el Conocimiento [i]Function:[/i] Crystallised sunlight trapped within a glass bauble. The creation of even this minuscule fragment of wisdom was exorbitant, and it’s hard to say the price was worth it considering its cost. By offloading some of the burdens of calculating spell formulas to it, magecraft is accelerated. [i]Quality:[/i] Average [i]Name:[/i] La Lupa [i]Function:[/i] A prism that hangs from a chain. Its purpose is similar to that of a traditional alchemist’s retort, serving to filter and focus the results of the transmutations Camillio performs. [/hider]
