View Full Version : Florian Tatlin



Florian

Name: Florian Tatlin
Age: 15
Race: Human
Hair Color: Dark brown
Eye Color: Brown
Height: 4’7”
Weight: 82 lbs.
Occupation: Traveling Magician

Personality: Florian is, for the most part, quiet and shy, with some retained childish curiosity and naivete. However, when he is with good friends, or caught up in a show, he can be quite loud, almost obnoxious, even. Florian could be described as having a lot to say, but no idea of how to say it well. He is quick to make friends, and would probably become the best of buddies with someone affably evil, provided that he was nice to him.

Appearance: Florian is something of a small child, a little on the thin side. His short brown hair is usually somewhat messy; despite any attempts to brush it down. Florian is clothed in a brown cotton tunic covered by a light blue cloak and a pair of slacks to match. A pair of leather braces can also be noticed on his wrists.

History: Florian was born to parents of little stature in a small Coronian town, though not quite in the slums. When he was about ten, a magician happened to come to his area, putting on a show. It captivated the young boy, and he all but begged the man for an apprenticeship. He was eventually successful, and after a few years of studying under the man, whom he had persuaded to stay within the town, and a tearful goodbye with his parents, Florian began to travel with the magician, learning tricks and some practical magic for use during his future travels. He was also somewhat trained in the use and workings of the crossbow, as he couldn’t be expected to be able to defend himself otherwise, should any situations present themselves. After a further two years of traveling alongside the magician, both he and Florian mutually decided that they would part ways, partly because he had learned enough to survive on the road, and partly because the magician wanted him out of his hair. Now, he lives as the magician did, traveling from town to town, putting on shows, and living off of the tips and hospitality of the people.

Equipment:
-One light crossbow, made of oak and yew
-Around 30 iron bolts, fitting said crossbow
-One pair of leather bracers
-Basic provisions to last about four days of travel, not including any hunting or foraging done
-A bag, slung around his shoulder, containing his possessions, and a small collection of books on various magic tricks and spells.

Skills:
-Crossbow use/Marksmanship: Below Average
-Hydrokinesis: Able to control and shape an amount of liquid water (currently equal to about one pint) to his command. For example, he may focus it into a baseball-sized projectile, able to throw it to a range of up to three feet with the force of a good punch. This ability could extend itself to other forms of water, such as ice or steam, but Florian is currently unable to grasp how such a concept would work.
-Electrokinesis: Able to form and control sparks of electricity, for the use of either providing small amounts of light, or shocking an enemy, causing a light burn from a range of up to five feet.
-Prestidigitation: Florian is able to perform a few small tricks for the purpose of entertainment. Currently, his ensemble is quite humble, consisting of small illusions including creating a handful of tiny colored lights, teleporting small items weighing up to one pound to his hand from a distance of up to two feet (Note: he must be able to see the object, and there must be nothing between it and his hand), and making one item, weighing up to a pound, invisible to the naked eye for thirty seconds. These tricks are completely harmless, and have little to no practical use other than entertaining his audiences.

Weaknesses:
-0.5 Defense: Florian’s youth, coupled with his somewhat studious lifestyle of studying magic with little physical activity, leave him somewhat lacking in physical constitution. He takes what would be about a quarter of extra damage from attacks.

Hi there, and welcome to Althanas. ^^ Despite not having rp'd for a while, you're profile isn't all that bad, I'm just going to need you to make a few small changes to it.

Electrokinesis - right now, his electricity strikes can only travel up to five feet.

Prestidigitation - I need you to list the kinds of tricks that Florian can do. Keep in mind, though these may not be offensive, they still count as skills so you can't have a large number right now, nor can they be very powerful considering the skills Florian already has.

Equipment - I need you to list the 'miscellaneous' magical components that he has in his possession. Also, you mentioned having leather bravers in your appearance, they need to be listed in equipment as well since they're considered armour.

Just edit in those changes and post post here again when you're done.

Alright. n.n

Changes:
-Edited in 5-foot limitation for electrokinesis.
-Changed and clarified the nature of Prestidigitation.
-Removed the idea of "miscellaneous magical components," since I can't think of anything that the spells would really need, other than an object to use the latter two spells on.
-Added bracers onto equipment list.
