[Errol Grey]

Errol Grey

"Leave the past behind, just walk away. When it's over, and the heart breaks, and the cracks begin to show."

NAME: Errol Grey
AGE: 19
GENDER: Male
RACE: Human
OCCUPATION: Wandering Apprentice Sorcerer
REGION: Astale
ERA: Medieval
POWER: Elemental Magic: Errol is trained in the ability to manipulate and create fire, though the scope of his power is nowhere near realised, Errol can begin with a flame created from mere friction between his hands. Though where he can take it from there is severly limited by his current knowledge and understanding of magic.

• Fireball: a basic spell he can use after generating enough friction heat to begin forming it into fire, which he is then able to twist into a ball six inches in diameter, and can be thrown a distance of two hundred yards before the heat energy dissapates.
  
• Hands of fire: another basic spell which enables Errol to, as the name states, cover his hands in flame without burning himself, which he often does when fooling around with new spells. It is limited to how much concentration he is able to muster, and in range is limited by his arm's length, which due to his stature, is not very far. Damage incurred by these attacks is much more painful than a regular punch, however.
  
• Until Errol learns more spells, say from a tome, or a wise magician, he is limited to these two spells.
  

EQUIPMENT:

• Tome: A thick book bound in leather, with a steel lock and buckle that keeps it shut tights until he needs to open it. He uses this to keep track of spells he has learned and spells he will learn. Most of the pages are blank. It holds the seal of his Sage caretaker, and if presented to a scholarly wizard, would grant him further training in the art of magic.

LIKES:

• Sweet pastries.
  
• Cute girls.
  
• Showing off his magic to said cute girls.
  
• Gazing the clouds.
  
• Laughing
  
• Feeling useful
  
• Expanding his knowledge
  
• Lazy days

DISLIKES:

• Being overworked.
  
• Outright Rejection.
  
• Dingy days
  
• Rainy days
  
• Feeling defeated
  
• Sadness, in either himself or people around him

FEARS:

• Dark Magic.
  
• Powerful, Malicious people.

SECRET: He hates practicing magic on his own.

PERSONALITY:

• Friendly- Errol is a genuinely kind person, mild at most times in disposition, who cares little for violent acts, but will resort to them when presented with no other option. He is the type to give rather than recieve, and would stand up for a friend without hesitation. Even against his foes he is courtious, and does not resort to under-handedness.
  
• Easy-going- When presented with little or nothing to do in the way of bettering himself, or when feeling just plain bored, Errol is extremely easy going, living his life without undue worry, or concern about what goes on around him. However this causes him to be neglegent in his spellcasting, often fouling up the procedure in which to cast the spell only to make a fool of himself.
  
• Optimistic- Errol is at heart, an optimist. He feels that when presented with a bad situation, it can only get better from there. He is always moving on, and never holds a grudge, looking to the future as another hopeful day and that things will always get better for him and those around him.
  
• Womaniser- Errol is the type to be a show-off infront of girls, trying to impress them with his magic. He becomes infatuated easily, though he rarely, if at all, commits to them for anything longer than a week. This generally works out against Errol's advances, as well as his frequent foul-ups with his magic. He feels being tied down to just one girl would be unfair to the rest of them, and so, looks on to the future as fresh slate to be carved into.
  

HISTORY:
Errol knows nothing of where he hails from, and knows neither of his actual birth parents. His first memories are of his mentor, a very scholarly sage who practiced magic, but had little talent for it. The cave dwelling sage told Errol many times that his parents were nowhere to be found, and that Errol was found as an abandoned, crying child. The sage said the he could sense untapped potential in Errol, and thus took him in. Errol was taught by the sage to be kind others, as well as many other basic values any person should have; as well as teaching Errol much about the many species that inhabit the world from a large library the sage kept. When Errol came to the age of nine, he began training him in the art of bending fire to his will, feeling that fire would be the most simple for Errol to control. This was not easy, and it took Errol many years to master the basic art of creating a flame from latent heat. It would not be until Errol was sixteen that he was able to master the ability to bend flame to his will, creating fireballs after many many failed attempts; burning himself on more than one occasion, though not seriously enough to leave any scars.

Unfortunately, this was all the Sage could teach Errol, since the sage was not much of a magic practitioner either. Errol was sent with the Sage's blessings, and a Tome bearing the sage's unique mark, which would allow upon presentation, further training in the arts of elemental magic. Since bidding adieu to his sage caregiver, Errol has traveled on foot for three years. In that time, he has grown a very outgoing personality, staying in taverns for weeks at a time and trying his luck with any young lady he found attractive, attempting his best to impress them with his magical gift. This was very hit-and-miss, and most of the time left him rejected because of his almost too frequent foul-ups. This, however, does not deter Errol from his main goal, to find as many scholarly wizards, mages, sages, and sorcerers to teach him the ways of magic to even a fraction of his potential.
