NAME: Felix Archimedes
AGE: 14
GENDER: Male
RACE: Human/Mage
OCCUPATION:Potion brewer
REGION: Land of Astale
ERA: Medieval
POWER: Bad luck magic -- This magic is more of a destructive one, disguised and hidden as bad luck. The result of the spell can be simple or severe destruction of inanimate objects, such as a cave collapsing, sudden avalanche, or a messy object falling on one's white outfit. This magic is solely placed on objects breaking, falling, collapsing, the like. A light purple aura can be seen around it although some focus and eye squinting makes it visible.
EQUIPMENT: Magic wand -- Hidden in his clothes, his wand is the main instrument of his magic. Without it, he cannot perform spells (or performing them would result in minor success or backfiring failure). If the wand is knocked from his hand, the only magic able without flaw is the return and repair of the wand. If the wand is knocked out of his hands or so, using a small incantation, Felix can summon it back to his grasp, as long as he is able to catch it when it comes toward him. When in another's grasp, it would take a stronger pull (and stronger grip for the other).
LIKES:
- Luxury -- He may not look like it, but Felix person who enjoys the high life. Money, clothes, if it has high value then Felix has an eye for it.
- Gambling -- Basic conning in general; cheating an adult out of their money using simple spells or defective potions is a like for him. That is, until he gets caught.
- Solitude -- Although he doesn't hate being in crowds or public, he finds being by himself more enjoyable.
- Delicious foods -- Who doesn't like delicious foods? They're the best way to befriend as he has no dislikes or food preferences!
- Music -- If it has a good melody and is played by someone who is skilled.
- Cats -- Especially the black ones; can you guess why?
DISLIKES:
- Failed spells -- If a spell goes the wrong way, it can blow up in his face (literally). By causing backfires that can injure the user, being him, Felix is one that does not want to be on the receiving side.
- Being insulted/ reprimanded -- Felix has a short temper in which getting insulted can provoke rash decisions made by him. Being insulted will make him feel inferior and will have to one-up the insulter. Getting reprimanded on the other hand, be it by the law or an elder, is both embarrassing and makes him feel like a child.
- Senseless violence -- His pranks and jokes are mere boyish fun. Though getting into fights and large battles is a peeve for Felix. If someone had to fight, then at least let it be for a good reason.
- Royalty -- He envies them. They live the perfect life of luxury and greatness, all the while keeping their noses stuck up to the world. Maybe they need bad luck?
- Forgetting -- Nothing is worse than forgetting something for Felix, so much so that he would spend hours trying to remember what he forgot.
FEARS:
Someone getting seriously hurt by his pranks
Being forced to give up his magic
Getting arrested
SECRET: Experimented with 'dark' magic, almost turning him insane.
PERSONALITY:
Childishly evil -- It's one thing to be evil; it's another to be childishly evil. He is sinister to a degree; he's opposed to killing somebody, although has no problem stalking them and making their life a living hell. By this, that makes him a watered-down villain, having no huge intentions for the world, rather than causing it minor havoc for his own amusement. Would this classify as a threat? No, nothing of the sort (depending on Felix realizes this news or not), though it can place him on the shelf of being a nuisance. Although, he does come with his own kick-ass evil laugh.
Loner -- Felix is much of a loner choosing to be secluded from people often times. It isn't because lack of social skills, rather, he finds better company in solitary than he would with actual company. Being a loner has made him well-rounded in logic and magic, as staying with one's self can tend to make a person rethink things and focus better on more materials. As a loner, he is one to speak after another has struck a conversation and at that point, the conversation can consist of Felix giving his brash opinion, stating straight truth (lies on occasion), or generally going with the flow.
Honorable -- Felix is one to stand up for the honor of magic and wisdom, but that's not all. Honor amongst friends and family is one which should not be tainted and that's what Felix sets out to keep; a respected bond between those who he ensures his trust. Being a secluded person, it is a bit of a chore to gain his respect and admiration, although when it has been received, a great friend is made; one who, albeit young, gives another his utmost best. After all, they would do the same correct?
Audacious -- Being a mage has its advantages; one of them having control over Earth's magic. Control over these elements (Felix's being bad luck) gives him an outer exterior of extreme courage and bravery. Felix shows little to no fear, being able to lay out a plan and execute it with followed details.
Dramatic -- While he won't strike many conversations, when he speaks, it can be a huge show as he uses his whole body, facial expressions, and surroundings to get a point across or when he's excited about something. It can be humorous and a bit embarrassing, but Felix could care less.
HISTORY:
Felix had absolutely no idea where he was born nor did he know who was his original birth-parents, all he knew was that he was an orphan and was cared after by a man that was almost insane and generally raised himself. However, if there was one thing Felix knew, that was he was performing magical spells and chants before he was able to wipe himself. The events which transpired before his current adventures are obscure and somewhat tragic, although this is what Felix has to rely on as his 'past'.
He was born an only child at the time (Whether or not he had younger siblings remains unclear), born with parents that were essentially criminals. His father, Dr. Marcoh Archimedes, was framed with a conspiracy against a Nobleman, resulting in the man's death. Unknown to Marcoh, the Nobleman was highly loved in the village and when his death was announced, a riot almost encased and the people wanted the doctor's blood. Marcoh fled, unfortunately, not getting very far. Thankfully though, his life was spared as he was, instead of being murdered by the heinous mob, was arrested and placed in the castle dungeon. In the dungeon, he met up with an attractive young woman who served as his guard and was able to seduce her. After a couple of months, the two finally felt a connective spark and created the secretive child who would live his life disconnected from his biological parents.
Marcoh was executed by hanging of the gallows, a public event that left roaring cheers from townspeople but left his wife and now one year son in awe. The mother, Amelia Othello, couldn't stand to stay in such a vengeful village and refused to raise her son in such. With the cover of night, she escaped to the Kingdom of Astale, although a bit of bad luck would soon decide her fate. On the road to Astale, she was met with a group of rouges, giving her the option of either giving them her valuables or dying. Unfortunately, she carried no valuables except her son, so the bloodthirsty rouges took her life.
Before her death though, an aging middle-aged wizard came to her aid, defeating the bandits and staying by the broken family's side. He knew that there was absolutely no way for him or his magic to heal the dying woman, so out of kindness and her last dying wish, took Felix and would raise him and embed him in his atmosphere of magic and logic. With Felix in arm, the two continued to Astale -- Felix's new home. Over the years, Felix learned about casting spells, chants, incantations, and the like, finding destruction spells relatively easy and amusing than others. As if this life were perfect -- no, there had been an incident which changed the two wizard's lives forever.
Felix's caretaker and guardian wizard had been quite depressed for some time, though Felix couldn't tell exactly what troubled him. The fact of his depression was he was jealous of Felix's growing youth, after all, Felix was around fourteen at the moment. He envied Felix's youth and felt the need to steal his youth from him, though that would take some forbidden magic. In secret and seclusion, the wizard dabbled within dark magic although he was vastly inexperienced, which resulted in him losing his sanity and going mad. He committed violent acts while in Astale, only fleeing when the authorities followed after him. This, this incident left Felix completely alone.
Felix lived on gambling wages and amused himself with the magic in which he was familiar with.
