"I'm not lazy, I'm energy efficient."
Full Name: "Ashlyn Vespertine"
Age: "24"
Appearance: "I hope the way I dress is formal enough. If not, I can make it look as if it is! Other than that, not sure what my photo doesn't cover... I'm 5'8", so fairly tall, and don't tend to bother with accessories or makeup or anything, too much effort. As in, I'd rather save my energy for work! And that's about it for my default appearance. I say default because I can change it for missions if needed."
Worldview (Personality): "First things first, I most certainly do NOT slack off. Honest! Why, I'd never use my illusion magic to hide that I'm looking at cat pictures, or anything of the sort. If that doesn't convince you, you can ask my references for confirmation that I always get stuff done by the end of the day. Even if it requires speed working at the last minute. Hey, doing things fast is a strength, right?
I'm a more or less upbeat person, and enjoy livening up the office atmosphere, as well as bolstering morale when things get hairy. My illusions come in useful for that, creating colourful imagery for example, and once I perfect spells that affect all senses, I'll be able to make people's coffee taste like whatever they want. And I totally never annoy particularly stuffy co-workers with them or anything!"
Position: "Accounting and finance. You see, you don't need to worry! We mild-mannered accountants aren't exactly known for causing trouble..."
Magic: "Illusions. Mostly visual and auditory ones, although I'm learning to cast ones that affect other senses. I have to maintain focus to keep them active, but that's ok, magic is the thing I put the most effort into. Not that I don't put effort into other things, of course!"
Resume (Background): "I already have some experience with monster hunting. Well, sort of. Theory counts, right? I was born into a family of hunters. Mostly users of elemental magic, which I turned out to have no affinity for. They were less than happy about this, wanted me to be more like my older sister, a renowned light elementalist in the magical underground. You may have heard of Claria Vespertine - and of how she passed away in battle. After that, they pushed me even more to fill her shoes, which... I tried, but we all have our weaknesses. I did turn out to have an affinity for illusion magic though, so that's something.
Sadly it wasn't deemed good enough to fight monsters, so I didn't get the chance to prove otherwise. My father said making things look and sound like they're on fire pales in comparison to actually casting fire. So I drifted away from the family, blended in with non-magical society for a while. Covertness is my speciality, after all. When an old family friend suggested working for MagiCorp, though, and said you were looking for all types of mages, that's what drew my attention. It would be a chance to put my skills to good use as a hunter, or at least an assistant to other hunters."
Other Junk (Misc.): "When things get stressful for me or others, I like to create comforting images.
In case you want this kind of info for equal opportunity employment purposes, I'm bisexual.
I admire combat mages, and most definitely don't have any underlying envy issues towards them..."
