[Other FULL] Aria, The City of Forgotten Knowledge [OOC]

​

Name: Alan Tempest
Gender: Male
Age: 17



Appearance: Alan is a pretty normal-looking attractive teenager. From a first impression, he seems totally sane. He has wavy light brown hair that he shampoos to give a nice luster. He does not actively style his hair, but it falls naturally into place from occasional adjustments. Oftentimes, sprigs of hair will stick off at weird angles from being slept on. His face is generally warm, and he has hazel eyes with thick eyebrows. He is five feet and nine inches tall. Alan has a pretty unremarkable body, not particularly muscular but not too out of shape.

He wears a silver necklace with a jewel on the end of it that hangs beneath his neck. It was a gift from his father, and he clutches it occasionally as a comfort. Alan does not really have a constant clothing style and tends to just wear plain clothes, although he will really wear whatever he has handy. He has the Phantom Melody guild mark tattooed on the back of his left hand since he is left-handed.

Personality: Alan is a pretty reserved person and likes to be organized and have everything in control, but there is a pretty large blocker in the way of that. Alan is schizophrenic and has a very vibrant world inside of his head. He has many characters in his mind that took form over a number of years for various reasons. In most conversations, he seems relatively normal although some of his actions can be weird and confusing. Alan rarely ever speaks his mind and tells anybody how he really feels about anything; he has to use his projections to express himself, specifically Ember and Frost. Without Ember and Frost, Alan would be mostly incapable of making decisions. Alan also gets frustrated easily at the inability to express himself fluidly, so it causes him to shy away from social connections outside of his projections.

With treatment, Alan would be probably okay, but his father paid a famous wizard to teach him magic as an outlet to deal with his illness. The lessons were incredibly effective, but his magic manifested as projections, which ultimately made it harder to recover. The line between reality and fiction is especially blurred for Alan. He also has a lot of irrational fears, such as his back being open, darkness, and bodies of water, that rear their heads randomly and without warning. Under pressure, Alan does not have any idea what to do. He easily gets confused and lost in a situation, relying on his projections to process information for him. As a result, he is mostly reactionary, working reflexively and only rarely able to take agency.

Despite all of this, Alan is remarkably kind. He may not be able to totally understand other people, or know what they mean, but he believes that people are fundamentally good, an idea formed before he was diagnosed. Occasionally he will put himself out of his comfort zone and pull himself out of his shell in a valiant effort to regain what he used to have before his mind started to dominate his life. He does not know that he is sick, but he knows that people have started to recede to his life at a similar time to when his friends started appearing, and he is not stupid so he made the correlation.

Alan's father was the one to take on the care of him when he was diagnosed and was the one to try and get him help, paying for his magic lessons. As misguided as his attempts may have been, he still cares deeply for Alan, and as a result, Alan has a much deeper connection with him than his mother, who phased him mostly out of her life. Ever since he started acting weirdly she felt that he was unfit and was even deep down a little scared of him. She never fully ignored or emotionally abandoned him, but the coldness she exhibited toward him affected him greatly, and he did not know why she was acting so strangely. The best, and only prevalent, memory Alan has with his mother is that of watching old Film Noir detective movies with him. She would always impersonate the detective and it made him laugh a lot.

Magic:

-Projections: A famous, very powerful wizard was hired by Alan's father to teach Alan his magic. He has the ability to take control of materials and make golems out of them. However, for Alan it is unique, because he is only able to utilize his abilities if he sees a character he has in his mind fully represented in the real world. The way that he does this is by sculpting or creating his character from a multitude of different mediums, such as clay, wood, or paper. If the character is not fully represented he cannot use it because he is not aware that he is using magic, it appears the same to him as if it was real all along, just now it has a physical form. He can make a small version of something and then expand it to its full size.

-Projection Base Control: This is the only magic other than celestial magic that Alan thinks he has. He has the ability to control the materials to perform attacks and defend himself while the projections do the offensive fighting.

-Uriel's Sword (Luster): The Celestial Talisman that Alan uses to summon Uriel is his golden sword, identical to the one that Uriel has. It has a golden blade with a silver hilt and guard. The only difference is that the sword that Alan owns has magic dispelling properties. It can cut through weak to some medium powered magic, an enchantment cast by Uriel to protect whoever owns his Talisman at the time.

In Alan's mind, Uriel's Sword has a personality. His name is Luster and he guides Alan. He is a counterpart to Ember and Frost and is the voice of wisdom and knowledge in Alan's mind. Although he is inanimate, whenever Alan thinks he is speaking, he glows faintly in his mind. Luster has a deep, booming voice and is an old wise soul that is incredibly knowledgable, able to call on memories and information lost in the depths of his brain.

-Bottomless Bag: A gift from Alan's teacher, he has a bottomless bag with a mouth two inches wide. Anything that he can fit inside of the mouth will be accepted into a pocket dimension, which he can then summon the objects from. He uses it as a store for all of the supplies that he needs to do his projections and their derivative abilities.

-Swift Gloves: Alan purchased these gloves from a magic shop with the money from his first job and half of the money that his father gave him. They are navy blue glovelettes, lacking the front two parts of all fingers and a circle of no fabric in the back for better ventilation. They allow him a good grip on materials without overheating his hands. The Swift Gloves allow Alan to move his hands twice as quickly with twice the dexterity.



Name: Uriel
Gender: Male



Appearance: Uriel is a six foot one Angel. He has tousled blond hair that moves with the wind. He was a strong face, with a strong jawline and good cheekbones. His skin is completely perfect and his mouth is frozen in a slight frown, as if he is always angry at something. His irises are pure gold, framed by defined brown eyebrows and intense creases under his eyes. He always wears a black trench coat and long black pants, accompanied with black dress sneakers for mobility. When he walks, he is very subdued and rests his hands in the front pockets of his trench coat.

When Uriel begins to fly or readies for battle, his wings extend in a vibrant show, ripping off his trench coat. Beneath the long garment, a golden sword is revealed, identical to the one that Alan has. It has a golden blade with a silver hilt and guard. Uriel's wings are gorgeous white and extend out of his shoulder blades to form an impressive wingspan. Uriel's body is chiseled to perfection and at the peak of physical ability, always ready to fight.

Personality: Uriel is very level headed and collected, although the constant scowl on his face matches his personality. He is very hard to win over, the angel is very grim and serious, not sugar coating anything and processing life in a very matter of fact way. He believes that he is almost always right. He rarely feels actual anger and in fact is not very emotional, but he often is filled with pity at how weak somebody is, or pity that they cannot understand him. He is very pessimistic, casual, and understated, unless he needs to make a show of being powerful.

That being said, he has a soft spot for Alan. He chose him because, although his mind may be a little foggy, and his actions might be strange, he is very pure of heart. Uriel felt that he was the most suited to bear the honor of his sword. He looks down on most people and even most other celestial spirits. When battling people, he taunts them and says what he truly thinks of them before engaging in battle and he has no tolerance for fools, cowards, or He secretly believes that angels are better than zodiac spirits, and has a grudge against Michael the angel.

Magic: Uriel practices light magic, hence his title as the Angel of Light. He can use many general offensive light attacks; utilizing semisolid and explosive forms of light, but has a few signature abilities.

-Light Armor: Uriel can create a temporary layer of solid light armor around himself and his Celestial Wizard. This armor is two inches thick and weightless, it looks like a lightly glowing, yellow translucent coat of armor. It is not infallible and can be pierced, and if he runs out of magic energy it ceases to exist.

-Godly Luminescence Boost: Uriel has an ability that generally allows him to use light to power up the magic of his wizard. It manifests differently, depending upon who he has a contract with. For Alan specific, Uriel focuses on one of Alan's projections with his hand outstretched and causes shining golden runes to form on its body, specific to each projection. They increase the projection's strength and constitution, making them generally better.

-Colossal Angel Avatar: Uriel creates a gigantic semisolid light avatar of himself around him that acts as a giant attacking angel. Magic passes directly through this shell and it is impossible to use in non-open areas due to the lack of mobility.

-The Light of Heaven: Uriel extends his body to the fullest and flies high into the sky. He glows with a terrible pure light that strikes deep fear into the hearts of all of his enemies and his wings become pure white light. A wave of energy ripples out from him, causing general, nonspecific destruction. This attack takes immense amounts of power and ruptures all of his other magical spells.
