[b]Summon (ghosts):[/b] When trying to find an illusive animal, Damian can summon forth a shade of the target in order to better track them down when traditional hunting methods prove too slow or unusable. [b]Telekinesis:[/b] Damian has a minor affinity for telekinesis, only able to move objects only a few pounds in weight off the ground. [b]Forced temporal realignment:[/b] Combining his Clairvoyance and Summon abilities, Damian is able to repair inanimate objects by forcing their current broken state to match their past unbroken state. [i][b]Invocation[/b][/i] [b]Animal Magnetism:[/b] A passive ability that allows Damian to calm and befriend animals of all kinds more easily. Whether normal, magical, mystical or summoned, Damian has a greater chance to bond with them far sooner than most. Note, this ability does not hamper or interfere with the bonds Summoners and Invokers have with their own Summons. [b]Whisperer:[/b] Damian has the ability to communicate with and understand animals of all kinds and species. This includes the feeling emotional spectrum of any given animal he's speaking with. [b]Spirit Infusion:[/b] By calling upon the name of a given animal or beast, Damian can infuse his body with their strengths and abilities. This technique can be used to enhance standard objects and other people as well. [b]Will of the Hunt:[/b] With a bit of magic Damian calls upon the trait of Hunter predators. Infusing his gaze and aura with their will any caught in his gaze will be enveloped by the sensation of Prey about to be chased by the Hunter. [/hider] [hider=Non Magical Skills] [b]Silver tongue:[/b] Due to Damian's time as a highly rated Photographer, he has a wealth of experience dealing with various levels of the upper class. Primarily, how to speak with various Nobles and not get exploited or ripped off. His reputation, presence and use of words make it difficult for most to ignore him and his logic. Those of high intelligence and willpower can resist, but should still take heed lest Damian's Charisma sway them without knowing. [b]Survivalist:[/b] Having to live in the wilderness for long periods of time in order to get the photographs he needs has forced Damian to learn how best to survive in the wild against all manner of beast, aberration and the miasma. If someone is ever stuck in the wilderness and Damian is with you, you are as good as saved. [/hider] [hider=Equipment] - Well used travelers backpack (Bag of Holding) - Cooking supplies - Survival gear (compass, rope, flint, etc) - Hunting knives (Machete) - handmade Tomahawks - Standard Long-sword - Portable camera gear - Pendent - Guitar - Tea kettle and set - Tribal paints - notebooks [/hider] [u][b]Brief Background:[/b][/u] As a photographer of world renown, [i]The Beast Whisperer[/i], Damian's reputation for expertly taken photographs is widely known. The same goes for how often requests are sent his way. He had been sent invitations from the Tower every year since it's inception, however he had neither the time nor the interest to accept them. After completing a recent job however, Damian decided it was finally time to see what all the hubbub was about and ventures to the Tower to at the very least listen to the Headmaster's request... [u][b]Anything else we should know about you:[/b][/u] Damian is a calm character, a professional who takes his job seriously though, he has been known to crack a smile every now and again. Apart from his reputation for excellent quality, Damian is well known for treating all clients equally, regardless of bearing or birth. This has garnered some annoyance from the upper Echelons of society but Damian doesn't care. His skills allow him to essentially do as he pleases, if a client proves uncooperative it's their reputation that gets damaged, not his. Unaffiliated with the Mage's Association Damian works as a free agent without oversight. While it has led to some slander from certain Nobles, his skills proved that the slander hold no water. The slander he merely scoffs at, but the mistreatment of those unable to use magic is a line that many learn never to cross. Apart from bad food there really isn't much that ruffles his feathers, so to speak. While many have tried getting close to him, either in genuine interest or to get dirt on him, none have been able to gleam anything past what is already widely known. Having traveled the world Damian holds a unique perspective from meeting and learning from people of all stripes, one that's a little more open to the stories of many. [hider=Other Notes] - Has abnormally strong mental defences against psionic intrusions - Loves to learn about different cultures, through cuisine, music and mythologies - Has near encyclopedic knowledge of the worlds fauna - Is an avid tea enjoyer [/hider] [/hider]
