Description

Last RP group for this summer, I swear. It just looked too good.
Name: Edrik Mehtar
Age: 21
Gender: M
Height: 5'11
Country: Ragnelia
Element: Fire
Faction: Quaser
Rank: Recruit
Stats:
Str 1 / Mag 16/ Vit 9 / Spd 4 / Sp 20/
Exp: +60 (Kraken)
Weapon:
Short-ranged blaster [Ilmolok]:

Given that Edrik has almost no interest in physical fighting, he uses Ilmolok for self-defense purposes.

Expertise: [Tactician/Researcher?]
Edrik comes from a family of scholars in Ragnelia - while he has very little physical skills to speak of [str=1, as in, enough to lift Ilmolok and use it without struggling], he has a solid foundation for fire elemental spells and a very sharp mind. Even when involved in fights, he is much more interested in seeking out his enemies' weakness than directly engaging them in a fight himself.

Personality: Honorable | Intelligent | Ambitious | Curious | Respectful | Quirky | Sympathetic | Family-oriented | Obsessive | Indecisive | Expressive

Edrik is a thinker. He like to consider things from all angles and is certainly very careful when making important decisions. Habitually, he narrates out his musings and thoughts to help himself think, much to the amusement and sometimes annoyance of those around him. He considers himself a man of his words, so he hates breaking promises and is always cautious before committing himself to anything. On the other hand, because of his, once he has given his words, he can be counted on to do as he says.

He enjoys philosophical debates, but as most typical Ragnelians he considers religion a rather trifling subject matter. He is, for the most parts, rather free-spirited and accepting of those around him. However, he does find it difficult to work with those who are boastful of their deeds, especially soldiers who make a sport out of killing dragons. He tends to become rather upset in situations involving such people, and as he always does a very poor job concealing his emotions, it sometimes puts him at odds with his peers.

He is very acutely aware of his own poor fighting skills, and admires those who are fierce fighters. Curiously, he feels no urgent need to improve beyond the basic skills he retains, as he has never considered himself inferior to anyone else due to this inability to engage in physical combat. He prides himself (and his family) on their keen intelligence. Edrick is a very driven individual, and a fairly ambitious youth. When working, he seems obsessive to almost a maniacal degree. He strongly dislikes not being able to reach a solution and becomes grumpy when his deductions prove to be wrong.

To him, there is nothing more important in the world than knowledge. Friends and family come in at a close second, as Edrik places a lot of value on his relationships with others. He is oddly fond of gift-giving, and likes to craft things by hand for those closest to his heart. He also loves showing off of pictures of his baby sisters, as he considers them the most adorable things in the world...

History:
Edrik is the eldest in a very close-knit family in Ragnelia. His father, a historian and part-time cartographer, has long studied the geography of the world and believes that the myths of the Light and Dark are not just stories. Edrik, however, is much more skeptical, despite having focused much of his studies and research under the guidance of a fire adept in magic. Two years ago his father had the opportunity to go on an expedition to seek the truth, but chose to forgo the opportunity for his family. He, nevertheless, continues to debate the topic with Edrik.

After his teacher departed to participate in the conflict between the Erius Knights and the Quasers, Edrik had to seriously consider his own future. Was he to stay in Ragnelia with his family and live a scholarly life, or take part in the next great moment of history? His ambitious drove him to choose the latter, even though it meant leaving his family behind. After looking into the two factions, he chose to join the Quasers - though some of their actions may have been somewhat reckless, he sincerely believed in their vision of a free and equal world. Edrik believed that knowledge was for all, and rather disliked the structure of the EKs. Worst of all, he perceived that the EKs used dragons as tools and severely disliked the idea. Given that his younger sisters were also born without magic, he thought that choosing the Quasers would help them (somehow, irrationally) as well.

Extra info:
- He comes from a family of 5 - he has two younger sisters named Serah (15) and Arya (12). Arya gave him the red ribbon that he wears around his left bicep. Serah, on the other hand, gave him the light scar on his cheek.
- Hobbies include cartography, crafting, cooking, reading, chess
- Only wears the uniform when necessary. Still prefers the lighter clothing from Ragnelia (or just wearing nothing at all)
- He doesn't know how to swim, and is actually quite terrified of water if he doesn't know how deep it is. He knows it is irrational to refuse to learn how to swim, but hasn't talked himself around to doing it yet...
- He is always hungry, so he is constantly snacking. Edrik is almost never seen without some kind of food on him.
- Hair is dark purple and it's slightly longer on the left side. Eyes are green.

Skill: Serpentarius
His gun fires a fireball that splits apart as it travels towards its target. As the partitions are formed, it looks like a snake separating itself from its skin with all parts retaining an identical form. More effective over long distances.

In other words, hopefully it'll keep people away from him so he doesn't get his butt whooped when they get up close.

Skill: Eclipse
Defensive skill. Fireballs appears in a ring around Edrik and circles about him protectively. They react defensively and actively engage only when approached aggressively. Spell lasts for 10 minutes and has a 30% chance of transferring flames to their target.

Right now Edrik can only manage 1-2 fireballs at a time, but as time progressives, he should be able to conjure more.

Special: Devil's Candle
Offensive and defensive skill.
To activate Devil's Candle, Edrik needs to remove an energy pack from his blaster and coat it his blood. The energy pack is then lit, which causes it to explode outwards to form a bubble of dark red flames (2.5 meter diameter) that is capable of absorbing most magical attacks and reflecting them back at the attacker with no damage to those inside. Water attacks are nullified. Physical damage cannot be blocked but it is difficult for attackers to approach as the flames themselves will still burn quite hotly.

The natural duration for the Devil's Candle is between 5-10 minutes, depending on the amount of fuel in the energy pack and the attacks that it has to deal with. As the flames are fueled by blood, that 5-10 min period can be extended by providing blood that is continuously fed to the flames. The blood feeding the flames does not have to belong to Edrik so long as the source of it is from inside of the bubble.

Given the nature of the spell and the requirement for continued blood sacrifice, Edrik is more than likely to pass out from blood loss if he doesn't stop it early on his own. Subsequently, the toll on his body would require for him to rest in bed as much as possible (even if he had just used the spell for 5 minutes) and eat a lot of steak (to replenish his iron) as well as build up his blood supply again.

Offense is the best defense really seems to be his thing.
