Weapon of Choice: A bag of flamin' cheese Broritos. Jokes aside, Saqr carries two weapons on him. The first is an ornamental Khanjar, a traditional J-shaped curved dagger, gifted to him by his father for his coming of age celebration. The blade is is not etherforged and breaks fairly easily due to the Khanjar being purely decorative.

Saqr also carries a sniper rifle equipped with a scope and has Saqr's internet gamertag written on the side in golden glittery sharpie writing.

Spells

Daw'a

Saqr concentrates his magic into summoning a controllable hardlight falcon. Aptly named Daw'a, - which signifies 'light source' in Arabic - the bird's movements and actions can be controlled by Saqr mentally. In addition to this, Daw'a can also be used to project and cast spells from a distance. If Saqr stays still and concentrates, he can also partially 'see' what his falcon is seeing through his right eye, effectively turning her into a beacon of sorts. Daw'a can be destroyed easily by darkness magic, and breaks just as easily as any other hardlight structure.

Shield of Fortune

Saqr's only individual spell for the moment. Saqr uses the reflection off a coin or other small object to project a large, hardlight shield in the shape of the object. The shinier the object is, the easier it is to cast the spell.

Enlightened Charge

Saqr charges Daw'a up with light magic, boosting her speed immensely and commanding her to charge beakfirst at the enemy. This spell can be used both offensively to slam Daw'a into enemies, or defensively to get her out of danger.

Flashbang

Saqr detonates Daw'a from a distance. The explosion causes minor damage, but created a flash of light that temporarily blinds anyone caught in the blast radius. Daw'a van only be summoned back after a few moments if this spell is used.

Appearance

Saqr sports a typical middle eastern complexion, with messy black hair, fairly tanned coppery skin, and brown eyes, of which the right one turns fully yellow when he summons his falcon. He stands at an average height of 5'5, and is strikingly skinny for his age - mostly due to the fact he spends most of his time at home rekking noobs playing video games. This leads to him often being underestimated physically due to his weight and flimsy appearance, which he does admit is a good way to catch fools off guard.

In terms of attire, let's just say... Saqr's rich, he knows it, and isn't afraid to show it. Custom-made jackets, gloves and shoes, autographed caps and shirts, and mabye others are only a small fraction of what his wardrobe contains. Describing a single outfit wouldn't do him justice - so it's easier to just explain what doesn't change instead. While his attire fluctuates over time, Saqr is always seen wearing some sort of shirt starring his all time favorite game, Warshooter 4. He is also always seen wearing a trademark pair of sunglasses embroidered with his name on one side and Warshooter's lead developer's autograph on the other; and a silver chain with a miniature silver Khanjar. Around his belt, though it is mostly always hidden, Saqr carries his small ornamental Khanjar dagger, typical of young men in his family.

Personality

Saqr is an... interesting person to be around with, to say the very least. If one were to point out the best thing about Saqr, is that he is the total opposite of a tightwad. Saqr is extremely easygoing with his cash and generous with friends and strangers alike, tossing money left and right like he doesn't care. This of course has led to his generosity often being abused by so-called 'friends', tricking him into giving them more money - though the poor boy would have been much too oblivious to notice.

Saqr is as generous with his opinions as he is with his wealth. He is not afraid to say what he thinks and is often rather blunt about it - which isn't always a good thing, as Saqr has the subtly of a fire alarm. However, being born into a household where everyone was forced to agree with him, he does have some problems with accepting views conflicting with his own, resulting in him being an immature and slow to convince person as well as a horrible leader in general. Another annoying aspect of Saqr's bluntness is his love for horrible jokes he shamelessly retells from online meme-sharing websites.

Saqr is also extremely confident. As mentioned before, he know he's rich, and knows what advantages being rich has. While not completely arrogant to the point of no return, Saqr does take great pride in himself and his accomplishments, which coupled with his bluntness makes him appear as a rather narcissistic person. Saqr is never one to back down from a good challenge - for example, a short game Warshooter 4 - and can be extremely competitive to the point of aggressiveness if he is pushed too far for long enough.

History

Saqr Al Aqsa was born fifteen years as the twelfth and final child of the rich Qatari Al Aqsa family. Hassan Al Aqsa, an illustrious fire mage, businessman, government official, and less-than-illustrious father, had gone through three wives by the time Saqr was born - none of which the boy knew personally. Saqr was put under the care of the family's servants, and has been practically reared by them - rarely ever seeing his distant mother and constantly absent father. This caused him to develop independence and autonomy fairly late in his childhood, resulting in him becoming what every child becomes when given everything they want - spoiled as a month-old glass of milk.

For his entire life, Saqr had everything. Well, mostly money. Money could get anything after all. Friends, food, entertainment, comfort... and video games. Saqr was around six when he discovered the beautiful medium. Through an unreleased console his father had brought from a business trip, Saqr was one of the first people on the planet to try out what would grow to be the most successful shooter in the video game industry: Warshooter. After hours of playing the game non-stop, six-year-old Saqr was hooked. Finding himself easily beating siblings that were three times his age, the young boy breezed through competition among friends and family. Six years later, eventually, Saqr decided to attend a local tournament for Warshooter 2. This time not a spectator, but a competitor. He found himself shooting through opponents (both literally ingame and figuratively) and before he knew it Saqr Al Aqsa had achieved the title of best Warshooter player in the Middle East. Finally realizing what he wanted his career to be, Saqr turned to more international opportunities for his uncommon gaming talent. But then came... the slump.

Magic was not very widespread in Qatar (if magic could be widespread at all, that is). If a person had magical capabilities, they either kept it secret for religious purposes, or went abroad to meet others like themselves. Up until Saqr's birth, none of Saqr's siblings and half-siblings - ten of which were boys - had the power to harness any element, except for the second child of the family; who was not only the only girl, but also the only mage up until Saqr's birth. When he was born, everyone assumed he would not have any magic either, similarly to the rest of his siblings. For twelve years of his life, Saqr lived without knowledge that he had fire magic in his blood - until the day that he finally discovered the power completely on accident. Saqr was ecstatic upon this discovering this. His father, just as excited as his son, immediately sent Saqr off to his (now married) half-sister's house, in order to study more fire magic techniques.

The first few weeks went perfectly. Saqr was as much as a natural in Fire magic as he was in video games. He was the pride of his family and friends and his name began to spread across his town very quickly. Then on the third week, something happened. Nobody was sure what is was, but something had happened to Saqr. He ate less, he talked less. He slept more than he stayed awake, and constantly complained about petty things (or at least, more than usual). His grades dropped to abysmal levels, and so did his kill/death ratio in Warshooter 4 - something was seriously wrong. Becoming increasingly worried for his studies and mental health, Saqr's caretakers took him to many psychiatrists around the region - but to no avail. Saqr had also completely lost the ability to produce any magic, depriving him of yet another one of his abilities.

Finally, iconically on his thirteenth birthday, Saqr woke up and he felt... better than he had in months. Both mentally and physically. His performance in school restabilized, his sleeping and eating schedules fixed, his K/D boosted back to the top... and his magic restored. Though this time, he couldn't manipulate fire, but rather something similar but very different - light. Unable to find a mentor in Qatar this time, Hassan Al Aqsa began searching for someone to train and teach his child to control his newfound abilities. It was after a few long months of fruitless searching that he found another light user. A fairly young man by the name of Elton residing in the US, more specifically in the state of Wyoming. Saqr's father had met him through one of his countless business trips to the States, as a friend and fellow firearm amateur. He reluctantly agreed to send his son to train under Elton's wing (pun intended).

For two years Saqr attended school in the US, all while training with his unusually young mentor, who was still studying in college himself. The young man emphasized greatly on Saqr's development of a personal and unique style of magic, as light was not an element that one could be born with, but one which was attained. Saqr didn't give the concept much thought - for all he knew, the whole slump and resurgence business had only ruined his grades and K/D - but followed through with his mentor's advice. For a long time Saqr knew little of what to do with his magic; he could illuminate dark areas and create tiny hardlight marbles, but what else was there to do? There didn't seem much complexity in light magic, a disappointing prospect when he thought of the things he had to go through to acquire it. It was on a slow summer day of killstreaking in Warshooter 4, a few months after he had moved that a burst of inspiration hit him. Saqr rushed to tell his idea to his mentor. Saqr's aim was already good enough with his regular vision, sure... But what if he had a third eye looking out for him to cover his blind spots and upgrade his quickscopes to... legendary noscopes. Met with great encouragement from Elton, Saqr began to develop this idea, starting with the core spell which would define him: Daw'a. The figure had gone through many stages before finalizing it a falcon. From a faceless sphere, to a drone, to a 3D model of Saqr's clan's emblem, and back to a faceless sphere, Saqr finally decided that the most appropriate model would be an animal to represent his glorious title as the best Warshooter player in the Middle East. About a year and a half later, Saqr was informed that he had received a letter from Vale to study there, and gratefully accepted - maybe players were better on the west coast.
