[hider=Ixius Delthrane] [center][hider=Appearance][img]https://i.imgur.com/5BDqhr6.png[/img][/hider] Name: Ixius Delthrane Race: Human Age: 18 Gender: Male Appearance: Ixius stands at a below average height of 5'9" for his age. He has loose and scraggly hair, like wild waves crashing into each other. The boy, in an attempt to not besmirch his guild's name, keeps his robes and uniform in pristine condition. Even the way he handles himself; his walk, posture, cadence, general demeanor, are all tailored to not give ill-repute to his fellow wizards. Aside from that, his most striking feature are his vibrant crimson eyes that threaten to pull you in. Class: Magus, a more scholarly version of a wizard Personality: Ixius is what one could call sheltered. His guild had raised, trained and educated him in the Magus' Towers for most of his life and as such has a warped and overdeveloped sense of pride towards (any form of) magic and wizardry in general. He believes magic to be superior and a better form of warfare and combat in general. As such, he's has an arrogant streak about him and a 'look-down-your-nose' attitude towards non-magic users. It really doesn't take much for Ixius to piss off a random crowd with his words- his intonation and cadence don't help his case either. All of Ixius' arrogance stems from his love and absolute passion for magic and everything related to it. He can spend hours upon poring upon tomes to the point where he he forgets to feed himself. Ixius has great respect towards magic users who have honed their craft and could speak to them about magical theory and application endlessly. Ixius doesn't give much respect to those who have taken upon other forms of combat, the boy doesn't have enough real world experience to know that other forms of combat are strong when used properly and with the right hands. Strengths: * Versed in many forms of magical theory. * Adept in spell-casting magic. * Able to maintain concentration to cast chantless spells. * Amateur in Rune enchantment magic. Weaknesses: * While trained to have good stamina, is bad with other forms of physicality. * Cannot use weaponry much, if at all. * Absolute faith in magic. * While versed in Spirit magic, is unable to use it as spirits seem to want to avoid Ixius. This partly has to do with his attitude. Biography: Ixius was taken into the Magus' Librarium during his youth for having exceptional aptitude and sense for magic. Not that he could even remember his parents or what they looked like. During his youth he absorbed magic theory like a sponge and eventually became enamored with the topic. Though not allowed to, he secretly practiced spells and theory which helped expand his mana reserves during his youth. He's spent nearly a decade of his life to simply reading and understanding magic theory before he was even allowed (officially) to cast a simple fireball spell. The senior magus were surprised at how fast he formed the fireball and noted that it had more power than usual for a magus his age. Even for a Magus, Ixius would spend most of his time researching. His peers would leave him alone as he preferred studying and reading magic than going out to party and socialize. Many viewed this as anti-social behaviour but the boy would prove to be fine on the rare occasion that he did attend gatherings or parties; his peers even found him charismatic (if not arrogant) in the way he spoke. It just wasn't his favored past-time. Though the magus tried to teach Ixius to treat magic as neutral he still developed warped sense of superiority regarding magic. It was evident when a famous mercenary that had visited the Magus' Towers was blatantly disrespected by Ixius for using non-magic means to achieve his status. The mercenary, feeling slighted, drew their weapon but at the young man the guild intervened and defused the situation in time. Try as they might, the magus in the guild could not successfully rid the stigma that had taken root in the young man. Soon he would be sent to Hoseforn Academy; the Magus' hoped that the Academy could broaden the young Magus' narrow view of the world before his stigma could fester into something worse.
