@Hammerman He's not done yet, but I was leaning heavily toward a very talkative radical freedom fighter who got plucked into basically hobbiton and has since calmed down, but his ideals are just as strong. No idea on his artifact yet.
Name/Age (18+)/Gender: Nillander Dustwind, 21, Male Role: Illusionist
Armor:
Without Mask, he loves the way he looks too much to hide it.
Nil was born with grey skin and white hair, eventually it paled but his hair never seemed to achieve any color. He uses this to his advantage casting illusions on himself frequently to change his looks. His eyes are naturally grey but he constantly changes them as well, and wears almost exclusively white but very few people know this, given how often he casts his own illusions over them to bring color to the otherwise bland articles of clothing. Weapon: Nil, being disinclined to fighting, has no weapons save whatever stick might be laying on the ground nearby. Guild status: Nil has been with the guild for two years at this point, mostly specializing in public relations and cleanup after less than favorable altercations between monsters and the public. He only occasionally deals directly with the more menacing monsters. As an illusionist he is very useful at distracting the more aggressive beasts while those more inclined to fighting can get a hand in. The smaller issues generally don’t get brought before him.
Personality: Nil, Nil, Nil. He’s often the type to hear his own name repeated three times after getting into too much trouble, and generally dragging someone with him after inspiring unworldly amounts of confidence within both them and in turn himself. He is the king of tangential pep talks that always seem to loop back around to the main point, the duke of forgetting an exit strategy and the absolute emperor of luck. Nil tends to be happy no matter the outcome of a situation, constantly repeating his mantra of “Nothing matters, enjoy yourself.” He also enjoys the occasional scare or prank, but knows when it’s time to work that messing around isn’t the best decision, but is always an option that should be considered. He is fairly flamboyant as well, dressing in flashy clothes and often using his illusions to change the color of his eyes and hair frequently. Did I mention his constant need for social interaction? He goes a bit mad without talking to people for too long, so he tends to work well in groups and keeps himself on the good side of the law. Strongly against killing those who he feels are victim of circumstance, but will gladly kill those who put others in those circumstances.
Bio: Nillander Dustwind, second son of the widow Frella Dustwind, mysteriously being born after her husband's passing, is the youngest of two boys. His older brother Eliwood was already studying to be a cleric by the time he was born but the two have met several times and get along well enough, but Eliwood is a cleric of a deity of travelling and is constantly on the move, so most meetings are kept short. Nil’s father is unknown, some say he’s a changeling or doppelganger given Nil’s inherent knack for illusions including the ones he performs on himself. This innate magic ability was no fluke, he was born of it, like many others during a surprise magic surge. It infused itself into his body and he needs not study to cast spells, they come naturally to him. Of course, this means he made many a wizard seem foolish in his youth but it also meant that as he grew older and the traditional wizards around him studied and learned more spells, he seemed to begin falling behind the rest of his magic using cohort, seemingly unable to expand his abilities into other schools (other than charms, but that's a fairly recent development.) He became a one trick pony of sorts and took to the entertainment business by the age of 15, performing a variety of shows for a few gold here or there to help his mother put food on the table. These were things like magic tricks, acrobatics, acting in local plays, and anything he could use his talents for. Life was fairly quiet, he never really reached fame in other towns and was barely even a local celebrity by any means. He used the stage name “The Great Jace”, and to his chagrin, many people only know him by this name. He even adopts an entirely new illusory look while he performs but people still somehow always recognized it was him, it wasn’t until he was 18 that he got the notion he should disguise his voice as well. With all the practice with illusions he was getting, he eventually started to catch up to his fellow magic users in terms of illusions, and currently resides slightly above the curve and with a bit of extra spending money in his pockets to show for it. His mother is just happy he’s around and not off adventuring like his brother. She’s surely in for a surprise when his Beast shows up.
Guardian Beast (just copy and paste the little profiles I send you, you can change their names, personalities etc but keep their abilities, traits, and appearances the same)
