~Sub-Race~ None

~Rank~ Loner

~Appearance~ Having been raised in the wild, Mago sports a body that well suits a person of nature. His frame, while not extremely muscular, is well-toned but lean. He stands at a height just below average, roughly five feet and seven inches. Such a diminutive figure usually gives others a false impression. Mago looks upon the world through a curious pair of eyes, his irises being colored a deep green color, each with a golden swirl which curls out from the pupil. Atop his head a mane of long, brilliant red hair sprouts forth. Having never had his hair cut, it stretches down to between his shoulder blades. A thin, leather headband clings tightly to the top of his forehead, keeping his hair away from his face. Veins of gold and silver are weaved into the leather, shaped in ancient runes of a long forgotten language. Black silk pants always cover his lower half, the legs of which bulge out slightly before coming to straps that are always tied tightly to his ankles. His torso is usually bare, the only thing covering his flesh being a black sash which starts from his right shoulder and stretches to his left hip. Strapped to the back of that sash is an ornate, yew bow with a deer-skin quiver loaded with hand-made arrows.

~Known Magic~ Mago's mother was a female magician, one of some-what great reknown. She was known for being able to control the wind, and Mago inherited some of this ability. It gives him the ability to make his arrows fly better to their targets, and such projectiles can cover distances longer than normal. More pronounced is Mago's knowledge of alchemy. His father was a famous alchemist, and had taught him all he knew about the ancient art. The certain branch of alchemy of which he knows is the rare art of healing. Mago's father was known for being able to cure any disease, and though such is not the extent of Mago's abilities, he does know a plethora of abilities and practices.

~Personality~ Mago was raised alone by his father, and he never knew what it was to have a friend. As a result, Mago is very much a loner. His father taught him much about honor, and he has a few vague memories of living in the court of a nobel before his father's outcasting. Those memories hold a few images of knights, and Mago has always dreamed of being a great warrior. His head is full of wild fantasies, and as a result he tends to be adventurous in his youth. Mago is always looking for some form of excitement, but tackles such events with an analytical and methodical train of thought.

~Weaknesses~ He has problems when under extreme pressure, unless he can manage to stay calm.

~Strengths~ He has a quick mind and his knowledge of alchemy helps him a great deal.

~Kin~ None living

~History~ Mago was born illegitimately between his father, a noble's alchemist, and his mother, the same noble's magician. For a few years his father hid him, explaining him as an orphan. However, when the boy grew to be around the age of five, the noble noticed the similarities. The three tried to flee, but the mother did not escape. Mago and his father went off into the wild and hid. For years Mago's father taught him everything he knew about alchemy. However, his father the great healer could not over-come death and passed away when Mago was thirteen. Since then he has lived on his own, experimenting in his father's arts out in the woods.
