Every step after is where things get exciting.”[/color][/center][/b] [center][h3][b] Age: 16 | Male | Thalak | Merchant | RAC: 6.42 [/b] [/h3][/center] [h3][u]P E R S O N A L I T Y [/u][/h3] [indent]❖Inventive ❖Adventurous ❖Level-headed ❖Curious ❖Flexible [/indent] Leander Keraunos is many things. Creative is, without a doubt, one of them. Stable might be stretching it. The young man isn’t too crazy, but his high energy and near constant static tend to unnerve most, much to his general amusement. Despite this, Leander (or just Andy) greatly enjoys an audience, loving to show off the latest spell he’s been testing, or just having a nice conversation with big groups. He loves a crowd, and loves seeing new things and interacting with new people even more. [h3][u]L A N G U A G E S [/u][/h3] Leander is a native Thalak speaker. He’s fluent in Avincian and Perrench, and can hold a conversation in Torragonese. The Keraunós merchant family is very keen to make sure their family is fluent in many languages to make trading and selling with their business partners and customers go smoothly. Andy wants to learn every language he can, in order to make talking to people easier. [h3][u]C H A R A C T E R A P P E A R A N C E [/u][/h3] Leander stands a little under six feet with slightly tanned skin, light blonde hair, and blue eyes that have a oddly soft glow. Not even Andy knows the reason, but he thinks it’s alright, so he doesn’t question it anymore. If one were to take a good look at his body, they’d notice his lanky appearance, a result of Leander’s general lack of physical training. And then they’d notice several jagged scars along his arms and legs, and a deep burn on his left side. If asked about them, Andy would simply reply that they’re his own fault and try to change the flow of conversation. Leander’s most notable accessory is a woolly red scarf he wears at any time, regardless of dress code or weather. He considers it his most sacred possession, the only thing he takes everywhere. Besides that, Andy dresses in casual attire consisting of canvas jackets and cotton shirts. When out and about, he wears a belt with a holster for his flintlock, and a canvas shoulder pouch for holding random stuff, such as chiseling tools, snacks, and his favorite weapon: a set of thick iron spikes. [b][u]T H E G I F T [/u][/b] [color=4682B4] 6.42 RAS - Thunderchild [/color] [b][u]Magnetic (Tier 3): [/u][/b] Easily the most versatile tool in Leander’s tool-belt, to a point that it’s become central to his daily life and style of fighting. Leander trained his Magnetic magic to etch iron with precise electric shocks, and honed it further to give him the ability to walk on almost any surface and even throw needles coated with lightning. Most of his utility spells work in conjunction with his Kinetic magic, aiding in Andy’s mobility by letting him walk and keep his balance even while walking on walls and floating in the air. On the combat side, his erratic movement patterns and use of iron spikes let Leander attack with controlled arcs of electricity, although his manic nature makes this less precise than it could be. [b][u]Kinetic (Tier 1): [/u][/b] Andy likes to encompass a lot of his understanding of the world in a interactive way. He’s always loved the feeling of freedom, and his magic reflects this, mainly using it to complement his Magnetic and Arcane abilities. On the Magnetic side, it lets Leander “skate” over surfaces by pushing himself telekinetically while he’s floating with Magnetic magic, letting him avoid ground-level obstacles and fly. But on the Arcane side, his Kinetic control coupled with flintlock shots lets his rounds move at rapid speeds, even stabilizing and swerving them to keep them on track. Even without weapons, the use of Kinetic magic enhances Andy’s punches with extreme force. [b][u]Arcane (Tier 1): [/u][/b] The last school of magic he started studying. This school more or less acts as an amplifier for what he can already do. The most useful ability for him has probably been to manipulate heat to increase the speed of his pistol shots, as well as infusing light and electricity with his spikes to make what he calls Thunder Lances. [h3][u]B A C K G R O U N D [/u][/h3] Leander comes from the Keraunós merchant family, a family of Thalak ironworkers renown for detailed iron statues and repairing the ironworks of ships. From a young age, Andy used his Thunderchild affinity for Magnetic magic to help his family with their work, learning alongside his older cousins, brothers, and parents. When he was 11, him and his mother were caught in a dust explosion inside the family workshop, blinding his mom and burning Andy’s side. His pursuit of entertaining people comes from this incident, loving to see people laugh and smile at the things he makes and does. Leander’s home is tight knit, with both immediate and extended family living and working together. Andy was sent to Ersand’Enise Academy to promote himself and the Keraunós family, as well as learn to control his magic. One of the last things Leander was given before headed of was a woolly red scarf. The scarf is something extremely important to Andy, as it’s the last thing his mother made before going blind. [h3][u]M O T I V A T I O N [/u][/h3] Leander wakes up ready to entertain and learn, with varying degrees of sway between the two. He finds Ersand’Enise Academy to be a very interesting opportunity, and loves the thrill of new and strange people and magic. Andy’s goal is to perfect his magic so he can help out in his family’s business. The only thing that worries him is disappointing people. Because of this, he goes to great lengths to keep it in pristine condition and put smiles on people’s faces. [h3][u]I N V E N T O R Y [/u][/h3] [b][u]Andy’s Personal Stuff:[/u][/b] Leander wears his red scarf at almost all hours of the day, considering it more important than even his life. He also carries a dozen or so thick iron spikes, about 15mm (6 in) long. These are Andy’s main method of self defense, so he keeps at least six on him when not in combat. [b][u]Andy’s Dorm Supplies: [/u][/b] Andy has a set of chiseling tools, pens, and Ỽ2 ⌘5 in a locked box in his dorm. On special occasions, he has a brown top hat and a white button up hanging on a coat rack. Aside from those, he has a few history books, atlases, and fairytales on a small mahogany shelf. Major Find(s): Wand of the Last Thunder King: an ornate and ancient wand, Zaqhory in origin and inscription, but with an unusual type of craftsmanship that appears to be both Hegelan and Nikanese. Boosts all casting power by 5%, arcane by 10%, and magnetic by 20% (19) [b][u]Money in the Bank: [/u][/b] ⌘20 [h3][u]S T R E N G T H S & S K I L L S [/u][/h3] [indent]❖Persistent ❖Honest ❖Innovative ❖Passionate ❖Social [/indent] Leander finds great joy in seeing things come together, whether it’s a detailed statuette or simply a idea working out after several attempts. As such, he loves finding new ways to help people improve, as well as new methods to do old practices. [h3][u]W E A K N E S S E S & F L A W S [/u][/h3] [indent]❖Mania ❖Monophobia ❖Rebellious ❖Stubborn ❖Impulsive [/indent] Despite his general happy nature, there are few things that set Leander off. Andy absolutely despises limitations to his creativity, even when the limits are there for safety. In his eyes, nothing comes before innovation. This coupled with his manic nature make him a volatile person to keep around in an overly controlled environment. Even keeping him alone is a risk, since he hates when there’s no one around. [b][u]M I S C E L L A N E O U S [/u][/b] Andy wears a set of iron bands on his wrists as focus wards, letting him throw arcs of lightning by giving his spikes and the bands opposite charges.
