Name - Thane Druddigan
Age - 25
Gender - Male
Appearance:
The above picture is of Thane, ready for battle. The armor was a gift from his family and is intended for battle but he almost never wears it. In place of the chest plate, Thane wears a vest of the same material as his legwear. It is of the same length of the chestplate. Thane almost never wears anything with sleeves or on his feet save for when the temperature is far too extreme to be comfortable.
The tattoos seen are runes, etched into Thane's skin that provide more durability and energy needed to use his magicks as well some that help's Thane hand-eye coordination.
The quiver houses his normal arrows that he uses for more conventional means such as killing wild beasts for food and defending himself from less savage creatures.
Specialization: Thane specializes in magicks that allow him to manipulate the motion of an object or person. As such, Thane can slow down and stop the movement of an object/living being where they move so slowly or completely stop that the object/living being appears to move drastically slow or becomes completely motionless as if frozen in time.
Thane can also speed up the movement of an object/living being to make them reverberate at a speed which causes them to rapidly heat up. As a result of this heat, the power can cause the object/living being to either melt, burn, ignite or violently explode. (It should be noted that once something ignites and catches fire, Thane cannot control said fire. Also, it appears that the more powerful a being or object is, the less effective Thane's powers are on it.)
Other magicks: Thane has a talent for "force-of-will" magicks. These magicks- which Thane has studies for almost all of his wizardy life- grant Thane the power to literally cause effects to happen by uttering simple words or phrases.
For example: If Thane were to call out "Protect," a mystical veil would cover him or whoever the commad is directed towards to shield one from harm. If Thane were to speak "Seperate," his intended target(s) would be moved away from each other.
A downfall to this particular magick is that if Thane is not fully confident in himself when using this or is overwhelmed by emotion, the magicks will react unexpectedly and/or violently such as having more/less force behind the magicks that could harm an unintended target or help someone unintentionally. They could also work against Thane completely or even not work at all.
Equipment: Thane's conduit is a simple but magically enhanced bow (pictured above) that he uses to focus his magicks through. The bow's wood will never rot and is surprisingly tough. The string will never break no matter how far it is pulled.
Thane's motion magicks are the arrows and they appear only when the bow string is drawn. (See picture below for an example of the magic arrows.) When Thane is out of energy, he cannot produce any arrows for his bow.
Personality: Thane's personality could be described as meek, shy, and passive in his early years as a wizard but later growing into a charge-taking, quick-witted and abundantly confident young man. He is also kind, sarcastic and comically cynical of others he does not know well.
Bio: Thane's life was pretty normal for his first twelve years. He was an average student in his studies and did what he could to help out at home. The youngest child of 7, Thane was used to being over-looked when everyone else was doing something important or useful. However, on his twelfth birthday, his family surprised him and took him out to the woods to teach him archery. He soon grew to love the sport and was found to be quite proficient in it.
While out on an archery training trip, Thane and his father were accosted by a goblin. Thane's father was severely wounded while trying to protect his son and was about to be finished off by the savage creature but was saved by Thane instead when the young boy shot what appeared to be a shining, white arrow at the beast. The goblin stopped moving in mid-swing and looked to be frozen in time. Thane and his father wasted no time in retreating. A few weeks after that, Thane was discovered to be a wizard (the first and only in his family currently) and sent away to Edlraza Castle to train in the use of his abilities.
Once arriving at the castle, Thane was found to be very shy and meek around others, often being placed in precarious situations and taken advantage of as he would not stand up for himself. He also did not like the fact that he was a wizard as he felt that he already had a hard enough time making new friends. Luckily for him, his magicks allowed the perfect escape when he was overwhelmed. Instead of handling something head on, Thane would simply "freeze" the scene and make his exit. It was this way that he found out that his magicks were deactivated once he left the room he was in.
Meeting Kal and Raven helped bring Thane out of his shell some as they helped him open up more and taught him how to stand up for himself to others. Because of this, Thane became more open and vocal about things around the people he was most comfortable with, often times making sarcastic, yet cynical remarks at times.
However, finally getting tired of being a pushover and taken advantaged of by other wizards, Thane became even more vocal and open. This time, he was able to tell others what he would a would not do and how he wanted to be treated. In direct tadem to this, Thane's magicks seemed to advance further into a more destructive form of controlling motion. This was verified by Master Foren. He told Thane that because Thane was becoming more sure of himself and confident in general, his magicks reflected that and were able to grow to their full potential.
After this, Thane became more comfortable in being a wizard. While he was still reminiscent of his life before magick and wizardry, he knew that he was meant for something more and began to accept the life as most people did not get this chance.
Notes: Thane's powers seemed to have progressed based on how his personality has changed over the years. When his abilities first awakened, Thane was meek, shy, non-confrontational and passive. This was reflected in his ability to stop the motion of things so as to avoid something that he didn't want to get involved in. As he became more assertive and confident, his powers grew to reflect this as blowing things up and melting, burning and igniting things.
Thane is also a skilled navigator as well as being knowledgeable on various wild beasts, creatures and monsters. This is due to his upbringing on a farm and the various hunting and camping trips he took with his family when he was younger and his visiting days while he was at the castle.
