Name: Jirae (No last name. Ashamed of his parents, Jirae shunned his last name)
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Class & Weapon: Mage, Specializing in Fire Magic
Profession: Currently an unemployed wandering mage. See backstory.
Appearance: Jirae, being a former member of the Daein Army, stuck to his uniform, but customized it a bit. He wears the standard robes and hood of Mages in the fire emblem world, but with a bit of a color scheme change. The hood is black with red lines running down it, starting right above his eyes and going all the way down the back of the hood and robe. The robe itself is also mostly black, but has a red line on each side of the sleeves (above, below, left, and right of the hand) that runs to the back of the robe and meets up with the red line on it's side running from the hood. Jirae is 5'10" and weighs about 130 lbs. Under the hood you can see that he has brown hair, and brown eyes.
Personality: Jirae's troubled past led him to be a very coldhearted individual. Since quitting the Daein army, he has had no long time Beorc friends. Because of this, he has learned to hate other Beorc. The only true friends he ever made were Laguz, so he greatly sympathizes with the Laguz and usually wishes he himself had been born a Laguz. When confronted with other Beorc for whatever reason, he usually tries and finishes any business he has with them as soon as possible. Laguz, on the other hand, he usually engages in conversation when he comes across them. Because of his hate for Beorc (explained in backstory), he is usually shunned from society, and in turn hates the Beorc even more and continues to wander the countryside. Despite his outer nature, on the inside he is a very kind person and is very capable of making Beorc friends.
Backstory: Jirae's father was a general of the Daein army, so he was naturally trained with a sword to fight for Daein from birth. Around age 7 Jirae began to realize that he hated the sword. He felt that true weakness was relying on a piece of metal to fight. Due to this, he began training in the art of magic behind his father's back, with the help of a family friend, a Sage in his late teens named Delgarn who was also a daeian general. About a year after Jirae began training with magic, his father found out and told him that mages were weaklings, that that is not the path he should take. Countless times Jirae tried to express his feelings to his father, but was always ignored. Jirae continued his magic lessons with Delgarn, despite what his father thought. Through both his trainings, Jirae became proficient with both magic and the sword by age 13. It was on his 13th birthday that he challenged his father to a battle. His father refused, explaining that it would not be fair. In response, Jirae launched a fire spell at his father's back. Jirae's father was not the forgiving type, and was infuriated that his son was still using magic. Instead of attacking his son, he turned to Delgan. Jirae pleaded him to stop, but his mind was made up. Delgan accepted the challenge, having the same view on magic and swords as Jirae. It was a surprisingly long battle, but in the end, Delgan tired from fatigue. Being a general a much longer time, Jirae's father was not as easily tired. He lifted his sword to strike the final blow, when a tail whipped the sword from his hand. Alarmed, he looked around him for Laguz, but found none. He heard Jirae gasp and point at Delgan, so he looked. On the floor, in Delgan's robes, was a dragon tribe Laguz. The Laguz picked up Jirae and flew away, leaving Daein far behind.
They soon arrived at Goldoa, where the Laguz revealed that he was Delgan. Amazed, Jirae questioned how a Laguz had become able to use magic, to which Delgan did not answer. In the time spent in Goldoa, Jirae began to hate Beorc and become great friends with many Laguz. Everything was perfect until one day...when his father came back for him. Daein invaded Goldoa, killing many Laguz-friends of Jirae and Delgan. Many Daein soldiers were lost in the conquest to the Goldoan capital, but even more goldoans were killed. When Daein finally made it to the capital, Delgan was ready to fight, and so was Jirae. Jirae's father warned Jirae that because they were on opposite sides, he would show no mercy, even against his own family. Jirae replied with the same, and so the fight began. Once again the battle raged on for a very long time, but in the end, Delgan was slain. Enraged, Jirae let loose an extremely powerful fireball, and incinerated his father. Overextended from using so much power, Jirae fell unconscious.
Three years later, on his 17th birthday, Jirae set out from Goldoa, to wander the land looking for a way to help the Laguz.
RP Sample: Hmm, wow. I think that was a pretty impressive backstory, that may well have been considered an RP sample, despite the lack of dialogue, which was intentional. If you would like an additional RP Sample, let me know.

Also, if it's not too much trouble, could someone clue me in to whatever is currently going on? Seeing as though he was last reported wandering the lands, I could introduce Jirae pretty much anywhere in Tellius.
