Age: 26
Gender: Male
Appearance: Thal is a tall, pale man with dark brown hair tied back in a low ponytail and electric blue eyes. His appearance is different from that of most magi, simply because he's too thin and fragile looking. An unknown disease is to blame for his bad physical health. Thal likes to wear heavy robes to hide his thin and sick body. The colors of his robes use to be a mixture of purple, dark red, gold and dark green, sometimes with a bit of other colors in the mix. As for shoes, Thal wears a pair of light, dark purple shoes.
Here you have something to go by.Personality: Thal is a slightly shy yet friendly person. He doesn't get angry or upset that easily, and he likes to take his time to enjoy his surroundings as he's aware of his current health. He doesn't rush if he don't have to, and you can somehow relax in his presence, he is very calm and controlled.
History: Thal grew up around the keep with his parents and younger sister. At the age of 5, Thal showed his first signs of magic, and he was soon sent off to the Keep to train and learn to control his abilities. During his education, Thal also came to show signs of his illness, and it soon grew worse. But Thal refused to stop studying, he made frequent visits to the healers to have his weak body temporarily repaired. At the age of 13 the teachers noticed that Thal was very skilled with summoning beasts of different kinds, so they talked to him, and he agreed to only focus on his summoning magic. As he graduated, Thal mastered a variety of different summons such as elemental demon spirits, arcane demon spirits and demon animals.
To be able to enjoy himself and make a decent amount of money, Thal opened a small tea shop in the outskirts of a town near the Keep. The shop became quite popular, maybe because of the good tea, or because Thal was such a kind and gentle host. As a side job, Thal also started giving lessons at the Keep, mostly in summon magic. He holds his lessons once or twice a week, depending on his health.
Favored Creature: A male black Pearl Wyrm named Aak.
Powers and Skills: Thals original element is actually water, but he specializes in summoning magic, aka the art of summoning spirits/demons/creatures from the spirit realm. He is able to summon a spirit of each element, Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, Metal and Ice, though he can only summon one demon at a time. Apart from that, Thal can summon a total or three arcane spirits and a total of two animal spirits, again only one at a time.
To keep his spirits in the real world, he has to feed them his energy (or magic if you say so), and he must never hesitate, if the spirits notices, they could turn against him. When Thal runs out of power, his summon disappears, often leading to Thal being unconscious because of the sudden loss of power. The summon needs a bigger amount of energy to return then to stay in the real world, if the summoner is weak, the demon will simply take his or her power and return home. In some situations, powerful summoners have been known to merge with their summon, taking the powers and abilities of the spirit for a short time. Upon separation, the summon will tear away from the summoner, often hurting him/her in the process. However, Thal has never done this, as it would probably kill him because of his weak health. His ability to summon demons comes from his large amount of spiritual energy and his strong head, which allows him to bring the spirits into the real world, keep them there and stop them from turning against him.
Apart from that, Thal studied most elemental and arcane magic, apart from dark and light magic, as well as healing magic. He did try to learn how to heal himself, but he was unable to get good results, so he focused on the other kinds of magic. It's unsure if Thal would be able to use elemental/arcane magic on a higher level, or normal for that matter
"Achilles Heel": Thals biggest problem is his health. He cannot take any heavy punches, nor can he withstand high/low temperatures. When his illness decides to kick in, Thal often starts coughing, sometimes it can be so bad he starts coughing blood. He also becomes dizzy, unable to focus and he loses some of his body control. He can't walk far, nor travel quickly, in other words, his physical health is very very bad. And Thal knows that he could die if he over work himself, or if his illness becomes worse.
Rank: 5
Favored Magic: Summoning magic, as described above.
Character Type: Traditional Magi
Other: Thal lives for his tea shop and his small garden. He wouldn't want anything other then what he already have. When he decides to take a walk or go somewhere, he brings his staff for support. It's a simple wooden staff, made out of dark wood and with a small gemstone hidden away inside the wood.
