Name: Feru Magus (All magus get it in their name)
Age: unknown
Race: Shapeshifter Cat
Feru was a cat that had magic used on her to become human like.
Hair color: Deep Violet hair, onyx fur
Eye color: emerald green
Build: slightly shorter than average human with a slight build.
Occupation: Apprentice magus
Appearance: Feru appears as a lithe human girl that has just reached adulthood. Her violet hair is normally worn loose about the length that is just below the shoulders. Her skin is fair that contrasts with her hair. Her ears ore on the top of her head and covered in black fur and she also has a black furred tail that when limp the tip reaches her ankles. Her eyes are large and expressive looking human but a close look would show the pupils are slightly like the cat slit pupils.
Personality: Feru is a rather emotional person; she is often shaped her moods by the way people are around her and how she’s being treated. Her standard mood tends to be happy and content though sometimes that can change with a sour thought that pops in her head, though that tends to be rare.
Skills:
Fast Magic: Novice
Runic Magic: Novice
Enchant Magic: Novice
Cooking: basic
Languages:
tradespeak
Hiddenspeak: a language of the Hidden mages the language that her master taught her. Known by mages.
Catspeak: Feru can speak the language of housecats and other small cats but not great cat(Lion, Tigers and cougars)
Traits:
Cat’s Senses: Feru retains her sense of smell, hearing and sight. She can hear softer noises, and can smell older scents and see well in starlight.
Weak: Feru is not a strong girl and cannot manage heavy lifting and also weapons bigger than a short sword are too awkward to use, she can lift them but not well.
New Body: Normally her Cat side would mean graceful but Feru’s still adjusting to the body and so she’s actually fairly clumsy though her tail does help with balance.
Magic
All magic drains Feru's energy and can make her tired or even faint if she casts too many spells.
(Elemental key)
^ = Fire
~ = Water
% = Earth
* = Air
+ = Light/Holy
Fast magic: Fast magic are spells that require a thought or a word, Feru at the moment requires her magic book in hand as a focus to cast them. Repeated use can wear her out and she over does it the magic will stop working though she can force it, making her faint after the spell completes. Also the magic cannot be fired at a rapid rate and there must be some breathing time in between casts.
Elemental bolt: launches a bolt of pure element from an outstretched palm. It travels much like an arrow and while damage tends to be minor it is capable of grievous or fatal damage if hit right (Example: An ice needle pierces the brain of the victim)
^Fireball: launches a small ball of fire that explodes like a firecracker.
*Spark: launches a weak lightning bolt, is conducted by metal but the worst possible damage is just a knock out.
Runic magic: Runic magic is stronger than fast magic but it requires a drawing of a rune, usually inside a circle. These spells change things inside the runic circle or around it depending on the spell itself. Drawing Runes is a tiring exercise as well and Feru can’t draw many in a day. Also drawing them in the heat of battle is very hard and she’s likely to mess up if there are people trying to cut her up or make her a pincushion and mean and stressful things
+~Healing circle: When a person is placed in the circle she will fall asleep and dream a sweet dream that has something to do with life, while this happens the wounds that they suffered will heal, Basic infections will be cured but advanced poisons, viral and magical infections are untouched. It takes a while for the person to heal, an hour for a person that suffered minor damage (cuts and scrapes or a minor wound or two), a whole day for major damage (lots of minor wounds or a couple of major, lots of blood loss.) And also this Rune is too weak to heal maims and other horrible injuries. (Limit twice per thread)
~*Storm Call: This Rune causes clouds to gather around the area and then it will start to rain, or snow if it’s cold enough. Also at the center of the rune a Bolt of lightning will strike when the storm gets big enough.
Enchantment: Feru is capable of enchanting items. Enchanting is one of the most difficult things the cat girl is capable of. All enchantments require a ritual that varies in complexity but all require a special item and items that are used in the ritual. These can be done in a quest. Feru is curently limited to minor enchantments, like making a blade with weak fire or a charm that that makes light and other things. Also enchanting requires a place of power to have the ritual, usually concerning the enchantment, such as the flaming sword having to be made at the peak of a dormant volcano.
Important Equipment
Feru’s Spell book: A very important item for Feru as it is a needed focus to cast fast spells and she needs to notes to make the proper runes for runic magic and enchanting. Not for sale
Adventurer’s dress: Feru’s favorite linen dress for wandering about, it is forest green and hold snugly yet comfortably to her upper torso and the short skirt doesn’t get in the way.
Mage robes: Crimson silk robes that ware painted with all kinds of black runes. The robes are extremely loose and not for adventuring, they are for enchantment rituals and when she needs her status as a Mage known. Not for sale.
Crystal dagger: a dagger made for carving runes in wood and for fighting. Strength is Iron. Feru has never before used the item in combat and has only used it for rituals. Not for sale
Other items:
Rune Writer’s chalk
Oaken drawing stick for runes in sand, dirt and solid mud
Home:
Feru lives in her own room at the Blue tower, a tower that is made of blue crystal. It belongs to her master, Khan Magus. It is a magical place but Feru has no hope of accessing any of its treasures since Khan turned himself into a cat. Only the kitchen, stairway, her private room, the entry way and the portal room are reachable to Feru.
The portal room has the ability to make a portal to any of Althanas’ continents. The portal will stay there until Feru comes back through and closes it from home, or someone else closes it. (This is just a way to have a home and to have a reason she can quest in other places far and wide.)
Major NPCs/ Familiars
Magus Khan: Once a powerful Magus of the Hidden Word, he was attacked during a changeling spell and was turned into a cat, the attack was on his mind and while h was victorious he has forgotten all his magic from the trauma. In his current form he is an old gray cat with one yellow cat eye and the other a milky white.
History:
Feru had a big family with 4 brothers and sisters all born on the same day, surprising until you realize that she was a cat. A beautiful black cat that had some magic about her but she did not know it. Her childhood was the typical for a cat until she found the tower of the Magus Khan, master of the Hidden word magic, a sorcery that relies on written words and secret language to convey knowledge. He had caught the little cat exploring his tower and decided to take the kitten in. He was the one who gave Feru her name.
Feru easily enjoyed the life in the mage tower being fed and happy. But Khan had a reason for keeping the pet, he wanted to experiment with a new spell. He lured the cat in with some food and used the magic rune to turn the cat into a human girl, well sorta, she still had cat ears and a tail but she could speak soon walk.
Feru was made into Khan’s apprentice and showed great potential being able to learn several spells and Runes. She even showed a knack for enchanting and was able to make her own spell book with his help, usually a master has to make one for the student. She trained for 2 years to get where she is now.
Sadly Khan made a second attempt at shape changing magic on his self. But a rival was watching and had a spell prepared to assault Khan’s mind, which he did. Khan defended his dream self admirably and even destroyed the mind of the rival but he lost his magic in the process, leaving him trapped in the body of a cat and forcing Feru to her magic alone. Khan can still help her but she has to learn and practice the spells herself and only rely on his common wisdom.
