Little Birdies directed me here. I am posting potential interest loves. I'm leaning toward bringing in the daughter of one of my current active super characters from another roleplay.
Doing sorta the same. My face claim would be Nina Dobrev.
Changed my second magic into the Lost Magic: Spirit Lord. Just putting it here for final judgement.

Basic info
Name: Lucas Reiklander Nickname/Alias: Blade-dancer Gender: Male Age and date of birth: 19, 2th of june.
Guild: Golem's Hand
Rank: B-class
Personal information
Personality: Lucas is an extremely serious guy who doesn't take kindly to anyone making the wrong jokes towards him. He's generally hell bend on achieving the upmost results. So obviously at the guild he's not the brightest sun in the room. However, this does not mean he looks down upon people. Quite the opposite. He wants to help everyone to become their better selves. Ask him to join you in some low-class task and he will surely accept. Loyalty towards the guild is important to him. It's also quite apparent. But everyone who knows him will tell you that his hunger for material wealth and power can sometimes get the better of him.
History: Born as the second child from a family of 3, Lucas' early life was fairly uneventful. He studied and helped his dad forge weapons and armor at the forge. His older brother clearly got the brains from his mother. While his younger brother had the brute strength for their father. Lucas himself was somewhere in between. Neither very strong nor extremely clever, but the shrewd combination of the both. One day, upon returning from the evening market Lucas choose to cut through the graveyard. A mistake that nearly cost him his life.
Within the graveyard lurked a creature of darkness. A reaper. The ethereal being fed on the essence of death. But long gone corpses barely even held any. But newly slain victims explode with the essence. Thus the creature attacked Lucas. His scythe nearly impaled the 14-year old boy. If not for his mother, who revealed she was in fact a mage, held the scythe back with one of her summoned blades. A fight erupted between the Reaper and his mother. Lucas, as the foolish boy, did not run. Instead he hid behind a gravestone, watching his mother. The Reaper started to lose as Layla, his mother, summoned forth her magic blades to cut his ethereal form. Be it a trick of fate or just bad luck, the Reaper in its final moments noticed the defenseless Lucas. In a last ditch attempt to take his life and harvest the essence, he swung his scythe at the boy. Whatever exactly happened, Lucas is still rather unsure about. The only thing he remember is his mother's embrace as the scythe pierced her back.
The family took the loss of their matriarch hard. But not so hard as they could no longer function. After a week of mourning, the forge was lit again and Lucas' older brother opened his books again. A year later he was allowed to go to a University. At the same time, the father thought it would be good to leave the old village for the city. Just to be away from the place where his wife died. His children agreed. So the whole family moved towards Luna Crescente.
They struck a little bit of bad luck there too. The Dark Guild's assault happened not long after they moved. But the drip of ill fate opened up the still mourning Lucas. Who kept close to his father at the forge, where often a few broken swords just vanished in thin air. As two mages of the dark guild broke down the door of the forge and demanded all riches, Lucas couldn't bear it anymore. Using his blade-magic he summoned forth a 'rain' of broken blades, hilts, swords and other pieces. He joined the counter attack of the unaffiliated mages (joined by Harpy's Wing). After that, he also joined Golem's hand.
Magic:
Magic name: Summoning: Blade-magic Description: Lucas can 'absorb' a blade. As in, when he touches a weapon, he can make it vanish in thin air. After that point he can summon it again at a moment’s notice and control the blade. If the summoned blade does not remain within the vicinity of Lucas, it will vanish again. Returning to Lucas' "internal vault" so he can summon it again.
Summon: gate of blades - A projectile spell. It summons a blue-ish gate around Lucas from which one half of his mentally chosen blade sticks out. At his mental command the blade strikes forth like a projectile. Assuming Lucas doesn't move near the thrown blade, it will vanish after a while to be used again. The blades he can summon with Gate of Blades vary but are generally low-level bronze, iron or steel with no special properties. Currently the following is stored in his "vault": 12 bronze blades, 5 iron blades, 1 steel blade. 3 chains. 2 spears and 1 lance. Summon: Bladestorm - Several 'gates' open, letting loose a storm of blades that's swirls around Lucas. The blades act as both defense and Lucas can grab one from the storm (without getting hurt most of the time). Again, these blades are low-level weapons that hold no special properties. Summon: [name of blade] - Lucas can summon forth the special blades he possesses. These weapons are no mere foolish toys which he can throw and discard. But mighty swords that were held by either mighty warriors, or forged with magical substances. In the end, these blades are rare and hold special properties.
- Deimos: Grand blade of fire. B-class weapon. - Phobos: Grand blade of water. B-class weapon.
Magic name: Lost Magic: Spirit Lord Magic description: After the encounter with the Reaper, Lucas' senses were forever changed. Suddenly he started seeing dim lights where none were. Strange distortions traveled through his world suddenly. Spirits that nobody else could see. What these spirits exactly are, he doesn't know. Ancient theories suggest they are the floating remains of life. Others say they are odd essences coming from a certain power. Whatever they are, they can be used.
Spirit Beacon - Lucas can turn his body into a magical beacon for the spirits. Normal people won't seen anything different (other than the fact that he's meditating). To maintain the beacon he needs to draw both mana and remain focused. So doing it in battle is nigh impossible. This is mostly a utility skill to gather the spirit power. Imbue: Elemental spirit - Lucas can use his gathered spirits (or a portion of it) to imbue his weapons with their magical energy. The basic energies he can imbue with are the 4 elements: fire, water, earth and air. After a few minutes the spirits will vanish from the weapons. Imbue: Mana spirit - Fusing the spirit's their energy into a mana spirit takes more energy and magical power. However, the result is worth it. Mana spirits imbuing already magical weapons vastly increase their natural elemental energy. Medium: spirit nova - Lucas allows the spirit around him to materialize. Using him as a medium to do so. During the brief moment they are in the corporeal world, they gather immense amount of magical energy. (this also puts a strain on Lucas). So much magical energy that it blows up after 2 seconds. Medium: River Styx - Lucas uses his own body as a spiritual focal point, just like Medium: Spirit Nova. However, he uses evne more magical and spiritual power to create a focal point further away from him. After that he allows the spirits to materialize around him. Creating a flow of 'mana burning spirits' between the two focal points. It's a very powerful and destructive magic. One he hasn't fully mastered yet. Medium: Incorporeal - Instead of pulling the spirits into the corporeal world, Lucas draws himself into the spiritual world (which basically is ours but with spirits in it). He turns incorporeal and invisible (except for a faint shimmer where he is). He cannot be attacked nor can he attack anyone. He can move himself into safety or use it to flank opponents. Right now the Incorporeal form doesn't last that long.

Alex couldn’t agree with Samuel’s insight. Love was not reserved for him. Nor was it expected. He wasn’t the heir of the Reinners. He did not require to advance the bloodline. There was no duty to him loving someone. Happiness was a fleeting thing too. A smile yesterday is so easily forgotten. Among the higher courts, a smile is rarely remembered. Alex concluded that strength, power, and knowledge really did trump everything. One required strength to fight. Without it, you’re weak and vulnerable. Power turned into influence. When you can change the outcome simply by your presence, what force could form its equal? Knowledge was a requirement for giving wise council.
Alex didn’t really regret his decision to go home for the lessons until he heard about the Unison Form. The very form of power he wanted to master when he first heard about it. No matter what the mystics would say, the Unison Form would be more powerful. He had to go! But before Alex could say anything Lux was already… dancing their way across the tables.
When Lux arrived at their table, the boy nearly managed to knock over Alex’s tankard. Only his swift hand managed to save the mead inside. But it definitely annoyed him. Which is face clearly showed as he took another chug from the alcohol. It definitely started to have an effect on him. “That’s an awful lot of titles there. Did you make most of them up or did you steal one or two?” he made a silent remark as Lux rambled off his many titles. Alex had little belief that this jester was authentic. He spoke with an overly complicated tongue. Apparently trying to look ‘amazing’ and ‘mysterious’. The only thing he was doing amazingly, to Alex, was failing.
The young Reinner would have kept his head level if Lux just rambled about. But when he made his comment about him being Gabriel with a high voice, he shot up right. The sudden jolt of emotional activity must have transferred via the psychic link to Nimueh. Who woke up right then and jumped near her master. “Did you just…insult… my voice?” His body language said a thousand words. He took it as an offense. Clearly, he wasn’t the only one who got bugged by the shadowy boy. As Alex stood up, so did several other patrons of the bar. Okami was trying to make clear that the guy better toned it down. The fact that Alex was influenced by the booze didn’t help much. Still, he was in Okami’s bar. He could hardly start a fight here, now could he? “How about we take this outside, Lux?”
@Vongola_Hasayo According to the wikia it's called sword magic (the summoning forth of Erza's swords). Also, while Sword Magic is mostly about bringing forth swords, Lucas's blade magic can also launch his weapons. It looks small but it could have a huge impact. (Think summoning like 30 gates and all launching blades, basically showering sharp metal). I based it more off Fate/Zero's Gilgamesh's power.
Also, I'd like to replace reaper with this: Lost Magic: Spirit Lord - After the encounter with the Reaper, Lucas' senses were forever changed. Suddenly he started seeing dim lights where non where. Strange disortions traveled through his world suddenly. Spirits that nobody else could see. What these spirits exactly are, he doesn't know. Ancient theories suggest they are the floating remains of life. Others say they are odd essences coming from a certain power. Whatever they are, they can be used.

However, he uses evne more magical and spiritual power to create a focal point further away from him. After that he allows the spirits to materialize around him. Creating a flow of 'mana burning spirits' between the two focal points. It's a very powerful and destructive magic. One he hasn't fully mastered yet.

WIP, but as both my magics are custom, I'd like to have them judged already.

Magic name: Reaper transformation Description: Lucas' encounter with the Reaper did not leave him entirely untouched. The Reaper's unique essence, upon its destruction was guided into him by the death of his mother. Reaper transformation can be extremely lethal if not properly mastered. But the trade of is huge. Reaper-magic can be devastatingly powerful.
Summon: Reaper Scythe - A cross-magic between the Reaper Transformation Magic and the Summon: Blade-magic. Lucas can summon forth the black scythe often wielded by Reaper wraiths. The scythe has a tendency to feel cold to the touch. As if death's chilling grasp is on it. The Reaper Scythe can inflict terrible wounds. It can even be thrown. However, the trade-off is harsh. The Scythe can, if used for too long, trigger an unwanted and unprepared for Reaper Transformation (more on why this is a bad thing later). Reaper Transformation: - Lucas turns into his Reaper-form. An ethereal being that is cloaked and hooded. It emits an aura of pure cold. Under the hood nothing can be seen but two, purple lights acting as 'eyes'. The wraith is extremely maneuverable, swift and is hardly touched by conventional weapons (it is vulnerable to magic). Only in the Reaper form can one access the Reaper magic. And only a Reaper formed from a mage can access it. The Reaper-form is a very powerful but also very dangerous state. Should one not be prepared, or sufficiently prepared, for it, the Reaper-essence will consume him whole. In the best case scenario the Reaper will go on a binge-consumption of life and death essence. After which it returns to the user's natural form. In the worst case scenario a True Reaper is born. A Reaper that cannot return to its natural form but, because it was 'born' from a mage, it can now use the Reaper Magic.
Note: Lucas only ever activated his Reaper form once and that was during the Dark Guild attack on Luna. He lost all memory of it (though witnesses claim they saw an ethereal wraith screaming through the streets, haunting away the dark mages). The only thing he remembers is intense sorrow and pain. Therefor he chooses not to use the Reaper Form and let it be sealed away for now. The seal is covered by his tattoo and can be broken if the entire seal is cut across.

When first Alex heard Samuel’s tale, he was somewhat left doubting if joining this band would be a good idea. The man was running from his issues. A cowardly thing to do. This reaction was quite evident on his face. But seeming as he already sitting down next to the man, he thought it to be rude to leave now. Either way, he was committed to joining the group. At least he could give them a chance. “Well, I hope you won’t run when I need you.” He couldn’t help but give a bit of a backhanded remark. But still, he had to make clear he wouldn’t forgive cowards.
When Samuel asked after his very own reason, Alex prepared for his story. Which meant he took a hefty jug, filled it with mead and beckoned Samuel to do the same. “My last name probably isn’t ringing many bells around these parts. My sister owns a modest estate around here. An attempt to expand our masters endeavors down south. That and the tower is becoming ever more important.” Alex’s talk sounded extremely tactical. As if he was discussing a strategy to conquer a kingdom. But that was the way how it was explained. Only less aggressive. “The Reinners, my family, are a servant house to the Goodguards. Whom may summon up some rumors. The Goodguards are a grand house up north. So far, both the houses are strongly entwined. In times of peace we are advisors and tutors of young Goodguards. In times of war, they assume the mantle of command. Taking up ancient titles like Archon or Xenophon. They send out the troops. But the Reinners… the Reinners march in the vanguard. Always loyal and unwavering. Many of my family died fighting for the Goodguards. But their sacrifices almost always secured victory.” As a way of showing his respect he raised his jug and took a hefty chug out of it.
“That’s my destiny. I’ll be a tutor, an advisor and a guardian of the latest Goodguard generation.” But his face turned somber. “I’ve come here because I wasn’t good enough. I wasn’t strong enough. I’m still not strong enough. I’m to be the best companion for a lady yet I couldn’t even take down a swordmaster. Long story short, I found Nimueh.” He looked down at his feline friend, sleeping on the table. “She showed me a way how I could get stronger. So now I’m here. To become stronger and to gather the strongest spirits from the tower.” He once again took a gulp. Right then, Okami sat down at the table. Out of respect, he first took a bite out of his ribs as the boy started talking.
He nodded in appreciation as Okami asked about the ribs. They were absolutely delicious. He’d ask for the recipe, so his sister may make it if she wanted to. But as it appeared to be a secret, Alex chose not to press. “Oh… stay the night? I can’t, I’m sorry. My mom is expecting me back at the estate by midnight. I got my lessons tomorrow.” He kept his mouth shut that the lessons were given by a Mystic, on how to manage his psychic powers better. He thought that it would sound as if he didn’t want to train with Okami. He also kept his mouth shut about reaching 15th place.
Although, as Alex was about to ask how Okami found himself in a tavern with an orc as bartender, some weird guy was… Alex wasn’t paying attention but it felt as if he was challenging Samuel? Did the guy have a problem? Alex leaned in on Samuel, asking: “You know this guy?” It was said in a certain way that meant: is he trouble?
