Age: 20
Race: Human
Height: 1,70meters or 66 inches.
Weight: 70kg or 154 pounds.
Physical Description: Brown skinned, with loose and sleek black hair that ends in the base of the neck, not very atletic but phisically healthy, he has a little bit of facial over his face and neck he doesn't botter much with shaving and doesn't do it frequently in general he has very average looks.
He prefers to wear very discrete clothes, since he have only enough money to survive his clothes are very old you can even find a few holes over it if you pay atention.
He wears a white linnen shirt, with brown pants with suspensóries, brown leather Beret and long black leather Boots that ends 10cm before the knees.
Possessions:
-Small Apartment in bad conditions.
-A Violin called "Lenora"
-A great collection of books that he's been collecting since he was a kid.

Powers or Strengths:
-He's very Smart and Cultured, he have a some knowledge about most common subjects like history, politics, magic and even science but not enough to be any kind of expert.
-Has a very good intuition and logic which allows him to act very fast specially under pressure.
-It's a free thinker.
-It's a very talented Musician.
(He's may be not aware of it yet, but he's able to play music with soo much emotional intensity that his musics can bend reallity creating magical effects, in the beggining of the story he can create only one spell.
I choose to create only one because it's something that he's doing by intuition it wouldn't make sense to have more than one spell, and also i think it is soo useful on roleplay that it would be asking too much to have more than one from start.

1- Reveal the Essense.
By playing an intense and passionate song, he's able to bring what's deep inside of the person he's intentionally playing to at the moment.
Depending on his intention this can be used to bring a fiery hope and courage, or great fear and torment based on their emotions and memories.
(I would like this spell to be able to reveal what's inside of other characters, and help them overcome obstacles or torment criminals with their own fears and doings.


Weaknesses:
-He's not trained in combat and usually don't exercise much, for now his only edge in combat would be his smarts which would allow him to improvise very quickly. (He will learn how to fight later on)
-Being a musician you can say that he's lucky for having a roof to live under (poor).
-He's have too much confidence and pride on his smarts and culture, some times he have to be really careful to not
be arrogant with other peaple.
-He's very perfectionist about his music and will not talk about it with peaple who (in his opinion) will not understand it.
-Don't believe and don't agree with many points of the Government Religion, he tries his best on his daily life to hide that, for that reason he's distant from other peaple and paranoid that someday he might say the wrong words and be arrested as a traitor.

History:
His parents were employees of the main library of Marn and always gave their best teach him everything they could.
As he became more and more aware of Marn's society and saw the Religion in Thar Shaddin as the root of most problems, developing a deep hate for it.
He spent most of his childhood covered in books, and music sheets, he couldn't stand to live with "bigots in control" of the government, when he made 18 he moved out of his parents house and bought a bad appartment to live by himself.
Being unable to do anything he just accepted it, and build an isolationist life style, where he wouldn't be more than an aquainted.
In general he's a very good person, but afraid and frustrated with his life, he would continue living on the Status Quo for his entire life when one night the unthinkable happened.
His childhood friend the son of the tavern's owner asks him to play one of his amazing songs to bring him courage to ask a girl in marriage, and soo he did.
He played to the tavern wishing the best luck to his friend he played a song originally about a champion battling for his homeland, he played soo fast and soo loud that his arms started to hurt, surprisingly causing a uproar at the tavern, peaple started to get too emotional some cryied on someone else's shoulder, others started wild arguments, some laughed as if there was no tomorrow, and he was satisfied filled with pride... after all he has being able to pay his taxes only because of being one of the most talented musicians on all Marn.
What he didn't know is that both a undercover Mage and a Battlemage unaware of each other at the audience, both surprised by the sudden feeling on magic coming from the Musician.

And that's where the story begins...

(I didn't made a huge backstory, usually when i write, i create just the basic skeleton of the story and let it complete it self while the story unfolds... it's much more fun in that way soo i hope the staff understands.
My intention is that he becames outlawed by using manipulative magic without a licence, forcing him to take a turn on his life and act fighing against the status quo and "proving his innocence" with the help of a group of undercover mages.
It doesn't matter if in the end he succeed, but he will than learn from the mage who saved him a foreign philosophy which changes his views giving him the courage to live as he wants becaming a much more social and happy person.
It's important to say that he doesn't even know how to fight i want to make him from zero to hero if you guys understand, more precisely a freedom fighter
I would like to join the plot on the side of the revolutionaries, but he would take some time to maybe join them because of all the secrecy about their true intentions and e.t.c.)

Hello and welcome to Thar. Sorry we haven't responded to this sooner but with the holidays we've all been a little busy.

First of all, I would like to ask, are you a non-native English speaker? I saw that you mentioned you wanted to improve your English and I got the feeling from reading your character that it might not be your first language. I'm sure most of our members here wouldn't mind helping you if that is that case.

Secondly, I would like to change your account name to match that of your character's. It will make it easier for other people to be able to find your threads and posts if they can search Regas Tullus rather than Redsteam. I can change the name for you but it will require that you use Regas Tullus to login from now on.

As for the character, I would like to see just a little more written for the physical description of the character. Does he have any scars, marks or tattoos that would stand out and be noticeable to other characters? How long or short is his hair? Does he have any facial hair? Does he favor any particular colors of clothing? Does he wear good quality expensive clothing or lower quality clothing? Does he carry anything around with him other than his violin that the average person does not? Does he wear any jewelery? These are just some ideas to help him stand out a bit more.

Does he realize that he can use magic in his music? If he has no idea that he can use magic he would have no reason to fear the city guard or battlemages unless he was out in the street voicing his opposition to their policies. However, if he does know that he is capable of using magic, then he would have to be careful of where and when he used it. If he is caught using magic without a permit, he would be arrested and brought into Justice Hall until the Judges determined if his magic was a threat to other people.

I have no problem with changing it, could you change to just Regas then? i would have to tell that to everyone i just met on the chat, but no worries.

No i'm not a native speaker, i can easily read long texts in english, but i lack practice at writing and speaking.

I made a better description, and gave a better explanation about why he is soo afraid of the government but he's not going to get much more complex for now, at the moment he's just a "common" person without anything heroic about that.

He did realise that he could do some "amazing things" with his music, but it was not magic for him... he genuinely believed that it was because his music was awesome! just like dwarves don't believe that their weapons are magic, just awesome.

As I said in chat:
(14:14:10) Niabi: I like the changes you made to your character. I'm going to approve it, but I'm going to suggest that you may want to use a spell checker for your posts and you should inform others you post with that you are still learning English.
