What does make him stand out is his blond and yellow hair that drapes just past his shoulders, orange almost glowing eyes that hold strength and resolve. Then most notably, ritualistic tattoo's that span his entire body. These tattoos seem to glow with orange, red, and yellow colors, almost radiating mana from them. The symbol of the Empire of Vaim etched in the myriad of symbols across his back. [color=f26522][b]Role:[/b][/color] Battlemage [color=f26522][b]Specialty:[/b][/color] Siege Mage / crowd control [color=f26522][b]Personality:[/b] [/color] Stoic, Arrogant, Calm, Hard headed, Formidable, Dignified. A few words that can sum up the mage. He can be a bit hard to get along with but tries his best to work well with others as he does understand the value of team work but socially he can be a bit standoffish in a way that may make others feel beneath him. His sometimes hard to work with attitude steaming from his upbringing within the nobility of the empire. However, through his shortcoming's he has a very strong sense of justice, that sense is the reason he went into self-exile and fights against the empire. [color=f26522][b]Background:[/b][/color] [hider=A glimpse into his past.] Turzo Drunoda (pronounced Droon-O-da) was born as the 4th child of the Drunoda house. This house was seen as nobility within the empire with the head of the house being the emperor’s Justicar. This position was the highest judge in the empire that worked directly below the Emperor in terms of chain of command. The houses primary job was to execute any and all orders and laws given by the emperor and the council of nobles and settle any legal disputes that the local courts can’t do themselves. To say that his upbringing was rough just depends on your point of view. He didn’t have to struggle to get food or worry about money but the rigors of growing up in a noble house came with its own difficulties. Testing to be a mage was at the forefront of anything else, then came rigorous training and indoctrination that began at an early age regardless of who they were. Once he was found out to be a mage he was almost immediately taken away to begin his training. Because of his position with his house the elders at the time wanted to perform a ritual to attempt to use natural and artificial means to increase the mana that one can use. The ritual took nearly a month to complete from training, to meditating, to eating strange herbs, having experimental drugs and technology being used on him, and being exposed to strange magic and chants. The ritual finished with tattoo’s engraved in his skin with magic and him being near constantly exposed to it for a full day. It almost killed him and left him in agony through the process. The recovery period was several months and after the elders in charge decided to shelve the experiment for future use because of the absurd cost of materials and an unknown result. After his recover and subsequent training it was found that his ability to use higher amounts of mana were successful but unrefined and otherwise nearly uncontrollable. The best he could do at the time was point it in a general direction and hope for the best. With the new found abilities and the completion of his training he was immediately sent to the front lines. The empire was an expansionist one and more people and resources were always needed. It was also at this time that he took a vow of justice and to uphold the founding philosophy’s of the empire and what it represented to him. He was naïve. He witnessed the perverted cruelty first hand that was the empire and it enraged him. The needless slaughter and atrocities committed by slave and mage alike towards the people that they were supposed to be annexing or freeing from their kingdoms. They were to him citizens of the empire and to see such wrought and destruction brought him to rage. A rage he did not now he had or could control, the ritual and the mana from it was effecting his ability to remain stoic and unmoving. Yet all that power he had only brought more destruction as the siege mage let loose his furry on his fellow soldiers and mages. Overwhelming their defenses with sheer might in an inferno that raged into the night. He left after this and turned to the only kingdom that would take him, the Nation of Belisio. They were skeptical at first and still don’t trust him entirely, why would someone join the losing side if not to simply spy on them. Their suspicions were for a good reason after all. In return for his stay and working relationship with the nation he gave up any and all information he had on the empire as well as signing off any attempt at having a private life always to be under the watchful eye of the governing body. So now he fights for them, with them. To defeat his former homeland and more than likely some of his family. To him justice must be met with justice but right now the only way he can see himself having any hope at snapping his beloved empire out of its blood drunk crusade is to fight against it. One day he does hope to return home and return to an empire that he may change for the better for everyone.
