Description

:icongravefall:

Name: Scarlet Embermourn
Age: 20
Job and Income: Unemployed, parents give her money. Sometimes works odd jobs if bored.
Affiliation: The Blood Magus Cult
Abilities: More than you could ever fathom... Fools.

Personality:
Haha... You think I would let some objective fool write my biography? Absolutely not. The true telling of one's life is a result of their autobiography, where the biases and folly of man are not given through the filter of a non-first person perspective. There is no way any omniscient "god" of this realm could possibly communicate me objectively. So, I will save everyone the trouble, and summarize my being on my own.

I am a benevolent master of the art known as blood magic. For those of you commoners who are not as well versed as me with the tomes of ancient magus history, blood mages are outcast individuals whom practice the forbidden art of sacrificing their blood... For power. Characterized by generally low diplomacy (There is a -3 modifier on most rolls due to casual discrimination against blood magic) as well as generally low base charisma, and strength. However, I am an experienced player and have spent my AP into improving my weaknesses... Therefore, I have rather well rounded stats! However, intelligence is certainly my highest. It is the primary component of blood magic, and as one of the strongest blood mages... You understand.

As for how I deal with social situations, well, my status makes me an intimidating presence. Who wouldn't cower before the legendary mage who slaughtered legions of orcs with a single curse?!

I require classification of all enemies before engaging in battle or diplomacy rolls, so I have a grimoire where I write down the records of the travelers I have met in my journeys- Documenting their character class, and my assumption on their ability point distribution, morality alignment, and other such information. It's simply logical for someone who relies on wits to keep a bestiary of sorts. Of course the easiest way to gather information is to plunge headfirst into interaction, and ceaselessly pursue it, so I would not call myself a reclusive magus.


My interests lie with blood magic, leading quests with my favored party (Joe Deathwind the Berserker, Aurae Pertumal the Cleric, and Jessica Wong the Archer), filling out my grimoire, reading Wikipedia on lore from other realms, playing simulations of real life (as you non-magic users would call them... Video games), collecting different magical trinkets, and expanding my party. I never find myself with downtime, as there is always something I need to do. The quest list is always brimming, and the rewards are fit for kings.

So, viewer, this is me... Remember the name. Scarlet Embermourn. Blood Mage of Argent, the pure white city. Greatest quest leader in the world. If you shall not remember it on your own will, then I will make it so you will never forget through my accomplishments!

Background:

My background is not a cheerful tale. My parents are of no importance to me. They ignored me for many years, and now attempt to reach out to me. They were so occupied with their business and the pursuit of wealth that they ignored me, and now they try to send money as reparation. I will not be moved that easily.

The pilgrimage to Argent was one of hope- I came to find like-minded individuals. I wanted to learn more about the world and its people, and to fill up my grimoire. I moved into an apartment with a small dragon. Her name is Ebonwing. She can transform into a massive beast at will, so do not toy with her... If she does not receive lettuce at 8PM sharp each day, she will go on a blind raging rampage. I am the gatekeeper, the one keeping Argent from falling to ruins...

Oh, where was I.
Right. I was struggling at the beginning of my journey, trying to gather gold in anyway way I could. Then my parents began to send me apologies, with letters loaded with thousands of dollars. I live off of their donations, but I do not contact them. Consider it their repentance for their transgressions. 

This is all you need to know about this blood mage. Additional details would reveal too much about my identity, and that would be a foolish action on my part.

Begone!
