Personality[/CENTER]
Salem is witty, yet childish. As a kid got his older brother craft a black cloth bag to turn invisible. Running around like the headless horsemen. He loves bbq chips but refuses to eat any other brand, nor does he drink anything other than juice, milk and water. He is quite the talker; having a pretty charming demeanor with words. As he should because his craft requires so much study.
He is socially out going and yet very secretive with personal information. Nothing like having a skeleton or tucked away huh? Even though he does play around too much he is very serious when its time to shut up and learn.
History
The Astraga family history is like hit men group for hire. They are very well known for various deeds around the world. However; the one that most know his family for is blood mixing. Using magic to mix dark elven blood with their children while still in the womb of their mothers. Learning that this breaks a barrier that links their gifts of magic to heightened levels most users would never dream of reaching.
As for Salem himself; his uncle tricked his parents into using that of a high elf’s blood. This actually caused Salem more grief later on in life than anyone could know. It’s like trying to have in rainbows in hell. He wanted nothing but peace while living in a family of monsters as a child. But as time went on he slowly curved his way of thinking toward other avenues. He gave up on trying to stop evil or counter act such deeds.
Salem loves understand how being are created, in his mind science can and does explain every things. His school experience was quite odd. Or while; more so than your every children of magic. During the day yes he “cutted up” with everyone else. Played pranks on everyone. But at night he was a library nerd. He was a page turning science lab nerd. Always trying to learn even though he yet to actually put mean of his skills to test. As he was looking for a teacher of sorts.
He quit college and took off on adventures both far and wide. Learning how the streets worked and others not so rich lived. Living off his skill and knowledge of herbs. Crafting lesser potions and charms. Always playing with the ingredients. As for what is to be said for him now only time can tell.
Appearance
Salem dressed like most teens. A hoodie like tee shirt with a pair of sweat pants and basketball type of shoes mostly Nike type of style. He preferred the less Richie boy type of look
As for his skin tone and such he is fairly tan with mid length dirty blonde hair. His bright yellow eyes tend to give it away that he is not exactly human. His body is not overly muscular or ripped. He does have a few cuts and a four pack of abs, however its due to him being natural skinny.
Skills
Writing Salem can recreate nearly any document to exact perfection looking as if it was original.
Language He is very adept in cultural based languages. At this time he can speak elven, common and dwarfish tongue. Aside for just written language he can understand body language and can learn a lot about others in a matter of moments. This helps him be such a smooth talker.
BrawlerBeing something of a smartass Salem took the time to learn when and where ever he could to land his blows. Reading tons of novels on marital arts like boxing or anything that dealt with lots of movement dealing with foot work. Learning every key point he could.
Chemistry He loves to play with various liquids and herbs to make exciting potions, poisons and what have you.
Advanced Knowledge of Magic Being a student of the arts and having many friends that practice in various crafts he has received a fair amount of tutelage from his peers in crafting spells, potions and curses. (Even though he has the knowledge he is yet unable to perform a lot of what he knows.)
Abilities
Magic Like all witches and wizards. Salem can channel the mana around him into various magical crafts of his choosing. Pulling on the essence from around him or from within himself. He can perform various task. Every being has a source of magic or essence with it or themselves; including trees, ants, people and so on. This life force is what as it is called upon into what is seen as the outcome from his spells.
Wizards Fire He has yet to unleash true wizards fire. As of right now he is limited to casting your average fire ball. ( Limit four)
Reflect: One thing about being a user of magic or the essence of energy is that you must know how to do combative duels with it. This common trick is used like a low level force field to negate attacks like energy balls, rocks and other low level attacks. The common thrust of a sword or throwing knife will not hurt him. The set back of this is that the more its used the more fatigued he gets. Also if he tries stop something stronger than a low level attack of any type he may succeed but be let defenseless. (Current Limit of use is four)
True Sight This is actually is curse more so than a gift. Being off his warlock decent blood line like most in his family have the give of “Sight”. The ability to look past illusion. Using the spiritual essence of his he can see shape shifted appearance and smoke screened maneuvers; in short seeing the world as it truly is with no blinders. Along with such a gifted sight comes the horrors that follow no one likes knowing the guy across the room can see their nightmarish state. (Unlimited for story, but in combat he can only use True Sight once.)
Equipment/Weapons
Turk His golem name is Turk; a giant being made of common rock. By using his magic he can release the beast to wreak havoc on someone. Which normally looks like some random novelty item figure. (Limited to Story For Now)
Stats: Strength 10 Speed 3 Intelligence 2
Headless Horsemen Mask This black cloth bag goes over his head. And it turns only his head invisible.
Astraga Crest A ring given to every member of his family that has the letter “A”, engraved into a black stone. This ring stay fully charged enough to unleash a onetime does of energy higher than normal energy. It’s his one chance to kill his enemy. (This is only used for his reflect or wizards fire since that is the only two spells he can use.)
Hot Hands: Salem wears a glove on his left hand that defend lesser ice manipulations. Placing his hand in front of a lesser ice manipulation breaks said ice into no more than just snow falling to the ground. Yes, this is dirty but its helpful to use none the less. This glove has a limit of four uses per thread. ( See here (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?28388-Trinket-price-check) for transaction)
