All the character ideas so far sound so inspired :D 

I think my character is going to be a son/daughter of the royal guard. Maybe an Illuminaire a year or two back, but since burnt out and stressed with their school load. Supportive and easy going, but likely battling feelings of inadequacy and the weight of familial expectations. Perhaps the equivalent of a teacher's assistant in one of the combat related classes, or maybe heads a practice club for dueling/training. 

I'm thinking I'm locking in on a telekinetic, I like the idea of them carrying around a pair of heavy gauntlets to box from a distance, or carrying around a case of ball bearings to launch like shotgun pellets
