Name: Crystal.
Species: Human.
Gender: Male.
Age: Indeterminate. Physically, around 20-21.
Description: My avatar has a basic depiction of Crystal on it. His incarnation in this world would just be less blocky. (The blockiness is the artist's drawing style, more or less.) Written description: Crystal is a fairly average-sized male of lightly tanned skin, with black hair. He habitually wears a set of deep purple robes that open at the front to reveal a bright purple undershirt marked with his personal symbol, a half-circle containing a diamond and with fingers extending from it to form a hand. He calls this symbol the Hand of Crystal. He wears dark grey gloves which have the backs of their hands marked with a diamond, to recall that same symbol, a set of faded blue pants held up by a simple loop of leather, and dark grey boots to complete the ensemble. His face near-perpetually carries a slight smirk, an artifact of otherworldly knowledge and a wry wit. A long, thin sword, well-crafted and sharp, is slung under his robes and normally well hidden from sight, and he draws it only for truly dangerous situations. He carries a pouch of small gems, found in various places and none of any particular value. A second pouch, stained on its side with a red mark, holds crystals that he has altered or worked on in some way. He carries a simple wooden wand on the opposite side from his sword, carved with small runes that glow the same purple as his shirt when he casts spells. Notably, this wand is usually used only for effect, and he is free to use his magic without it -- Crystal fully understands the role of theater in the working of magic. He wears a simple pendant with a stylized flame engraved into it, donned when he made his choice to join the Fire Guild.
Personality: Snarky as all hell. He is irreverent, can nearly always find a joke in any given situation, and is free with joking. However, he still fully understands the role of jokes, and can easily shut up and become quite serious if the situation calls for it. Crystal is intelligent, has a nearly unquenchable thirst for knowledge, and is interested in magic and the mystic arts before anything else. It is possible to get him to drop everything he's doing simply by offering to teach him some new trick of magic, whether within the domain of Fire Guild magic or an entirely different domain altogether. Crystal is especially interested in earth and crystal magic, as well as enchantment.
History: As far as is known, nothing. Crystal almost seemed to pop into existence one day, appearing and offering his assistance to the Guilds. No matter how hard anyone tries, they can't find any trace of any previous life.
Guild: Fire Guild. Crystal has a notably deep connection with crystals of all kinds, from the humble quartz to the unmarrable diamond, and leverages that in his spells, leading to his decision to join the Fire Guild. Notably, he can enchant crystals to cause various effects, being somewhat of an overlap with the Wind's themes of enchantment.
Likes:
-Learning/knowledge. Crystal loves learning of all kinds, although especially magical, and will not hesitate to pursue a snippet of new information until it is reached.
-Enchanting/preparing. Crystal, when prevented from doing anything else and when not in a situation where he has to hide his magical abilities, will generally grab a couple of crystals from his pouch and see what he can make them do. He is generally the type who loves to overprepare for everything, and, when stymied, will generally search through his red pouch and see what he has. He tends to fortify when settled down.
-Magic.
-Crystals.
Dislikes:
-Anyone who tries to restrict access to magic.
-Being kept in the dark about anything important.
-Willful ignorance by anyone about anything.
Other: I know you're there. Yes, all of you. Looking at the screen, reading these words. This is going to be interesting, isn't it? ...Expected so. I figured I'd see how this place looks, maybe pop in, help out in the fight against some oppressors. Magic should be free, and all that. Well. Shall we? I can tell this is going to be fun.
