Always wanting to learn more about the world and about the reclusive Yasoi that his parents trade with. He has always been a friendly person, tends to be polite to those he meets for the first time, and treats others well that treat him well. It is a hard thing to make Karim lose his patience with someone. Normally it takes a concentrated effort or just excess laziness to make him lose his patience. Which Karim is someone that tends to be observant with people, a trait that was encouraged by his parents for making better trade deals or learning about potential trader partners. Another trait encouraged by his parents that he learned the hard way was to be careful. Not wanting to make the same rash mistake his father made and will not just rush into a situation.

With dark tan skin and with black hair that has been shaved at the sides and is growing back. Sporting blue eyes with a long scar over his left eye. Along with henna tattoos on his forearms. Karim tends to wear practical but elegant clothing. Making clear what social class he belongs to. Though sometimes, he does wear more casual clothing that would betray his merchant heritage when he feels like not drawing attention to himself. [h3][u]T H E G I F T [/u][/h3] Landing on the higher average of the RAS but not quite a prodigy. That and able to afford the cost of Ersand'Enise by being from a wealthy merchant family. Karim had a private tutor teaching him magic before he enrolled and is eager to learn more. Preferring to use magnetic and chemical magics, liking the defensive abilities that come with magnetic while still putting up a solid offense. For chemical magic, he tends to favor spells that can either heal or buff his allies. Maybe not as powerful as Binding magic, but it gets the job done. While he is attempting to create original spells starting with making a magnetic spell. [h3][u]B A C K G R O U N D [/u][/h3] Born to the wealthy Nazeri merchant family in the Kingdom of Paggon. Karim, even at birth, was interesting. For he was the youngest of a set of triplets by only three minutes. This not only ensures that he had siblings to play with but can be somewhat annoying to their parents with their combined antics. However, Karim was never bothered by the fact he was the youngest, and he always had a good relationship with his siblings. Up to a point anyway. For when Karim was twelve, it was discovered that he not only had the ability to use magic but, strong enough to be taught it. Which changed things for him as his parents managed to get him a private tutor that would teach him the ways of magic. Lessons went well enough, and he liked learning about magic, among other things. He did note how his siblings started to view him because of this since his parents began to favor him as he was the second person in the family to be able to learn magic. A feat that only his great-grandmother had. While his siblings never hated him or anything that he could gather. They did start to hang out with him less and sometimes have fights with each other over petty things. Drifting away from him. By the time he was fourteen, his father started taking Karim with him on business trips. Which meant that he did he learn more about the world and learn some new languages. But, it never compares to him when his father would take him to trade with the Yasoi nation of Yarsoc. Karim loved traveling there and learning more about the Yasoi, and even learning their language. Though he did note how the Yasoi that his family traded with even with Yarsoc being somewhat aligned with Passon. Still were insular and closed off to them. Cutting straight to the point and rarely talking pleasantly with them. Something that Karim would ponder to why the Yasoi were like this as had learned that the Yasoi used to be more open and travel the world in his books. That and his father told him that they were becoming more and more like this in the decades since they had been trading with them. Still, it was a question that while Karim wanted an answer to, he had more pressing things to worry about. For just a year later, during a business trip with his father that Karim learned never to be careless or rash. For despite his father's judgment, he made a reckless decision to accept new trade contact that he would personally oversee and travel with the caravan to his new trader contact. Which unknown to him was actually a trap set up by one of their rivals to kill him and anyone he was traveling with. Said trap that failed and left Karim with a long scar on his eye and the first time he people die and his father killing someone. A trip that while they made it home fine and the culprits found out. It left Karim at first hesitant to be near new people or fellow merchants before it got over it just before enrolling at the Ersand’Enise Academy of Thaumaturgy when he was sixteen. But even though he is thrilled about finally coming to this place to learn about magic and meet new people. Some part of him is still wary and watchful of people. Just in case something like the trap happens again. [h3][u]M O T I V A T I O N [/u][/h3] Karim is motivated by learning more about the world and magic. To harness his potential of a mage and to create at least one new spell before his life is over. That and sticking it to the nobles that not just them can harness and learn magic. That and blood does not mean everything. Something parents would tell him as he learned magic from his tutor. Seeing magic as somewhat as an equalizer when it comes to power since a poor commoner with magic could take on a noble mage and win. However, he does secretly fear betrayal from his fellow students and hopes that will never happen here. [h3][u]I N V E N T O R Y [/u][/h3] A silver pendant bearing the symbol of Vashdal, the Dreamer.
