Jacqui
07-07-16, 01:14 PM
Name: Jacqueline Varos
Nickname: Jacqui
Age: Sixteen years.
Race: Human.
Height: 5 ft/155 cm
Weight: 100 lbs/45 kg
Occupation: Apprentice Mage/Collector
Personality: Rude. Crass. Foul-mouthed. All of these are words that have been used to describe the young Jacqui. In fact, some have gone so far as to call her a rude word for female extremities that begins with the letter C. Raised as a wizard's apprentice, Jacqui is no-nonsense. She has no time for foolishness, and will not hesitate to inform fools of that fact.
She does have moments of heartfelt gentleness, but these are reserved for her Master and those she holds close to her heart; a Venn diagram that closer resembles a circle.
As her Master grows old and sick, she has dedicated herself to seeking to complete his collection of rare and magical artifacts, as well as find a cure for his illness. In this quest, her focus is singular.
Appearance: Constantly crawling through ancient ruins and dungeons in pursuit of rare artifacts, Jacqui is almost never completely clean. There is always a smudge of dirt or ash on her pale skin, covered her by her signature green coat, covered with pockets. She always ears a grey hat to cover her often unbrushed short brown hair. All this frames her fierce hazel eyes, always filled with determination to accomplish whatever goal lays before her.
History: Born in the island nation of Corone, Jacqueline Varos' parents were destitute. They tried to bring up their daughter as best they could, but they just couldn't give her the future they hoped for. Luckily for them, a local wizard was searching for an apprentice, and offered a large amount of gold to take the girl off their hands, as he sensed great potential in her.
From there, Jacqui found herself in the care of the wizard Drakken, seeking to pass on his knowledge. She grew up surrounded by books, artifacts, and magic. Drakken attempted to teach her to control the elements, to rain down fire and lightning, but found her incapable of wielding the elements, only able to produce a small, non-lethal spark. Instead, he found her aptitude and passion for enchantments and alchemy. She loved studying them, and followed Drakken in his travels to find rare artifacts to add to his vast collection at his library and shop in Corone.
Unfortunately, Drakken was growing old, and not even the most powerful of his magics or potions could stop that. He was struck with a mysterious sickness that debilitated him, and made him unable to fulfill many of the orders for potions and spells he received at his shop. As such, the fourteen year old Jacqui essentially took over the shop, brewing basic potions for the citizens of Corone and beyond.
Over the next two years, however, Jacqui grew tired of curing colds and impotence, and dreams of completing her Master's collection of artifacts, and of finding a cure for his sickness.
As such, at the age of sixteen, Jacqui set her sights on the treasures of Althanas.
Skills:
Potion Making- While no expert alchemist, Jacqui could cure a cold, or make the pain go away for a little bit.
Enchantment- Jacqui has studied enchanting closely, and can identify most enchantments, though she still can't do anything about it, as of yet.
Linguistics- Whether it's an ancient dead language or the most complicated of Elvish, Jacqui can figure it out, given time.
Abilities:
Spark- Jacqui can produce a small non-lethal spark. This spark is the most basic of lightning magic, and mostly just annoys the person struck with it. It reaches up to half a meter, and can be produced ten times a day before Jacqui must rest and recuperate.
Candlelight- Jacqui can produce a small ball of light to illuminate an area up to five meters around her. The light is not harmful, and can be maintained for up to thirty minutes before Jacqui must rest for twice that long.
Sparks Enchantment- Jacqui can imbue a very small item, such as a pebble, with her Spark spell. The enchantment lasts for approximately ten minutes, but Jacqui only has the energy to enchant twenty pebbles a day.
Weapons:
Wooden Slingshot- A wooden slingshot Jacqui uses to launch her enchanted pebbles.
Equipment:
Alchemy Kit- A kit containing everything Jacqui could need for brewing her potions.
Grimoire- A book containing all of Jacqui's knowledge, including her spells, potion recipes, and studies of artifacts, enchantments, and other languages and cultures. Jacqui considers this book priceless, and would rather part with her own hand.
