description + Before you stands a wiry little gnome, about 2'6" tall. He
description + has thin, pale skin and a rather bald head. His eyes are
description + deep and thoughtfull, but there's a fierceness in them as
description + well. He carries with him a tome that he never seems to
description + draw his attention from, and with a pen in hand, seems to be
description + writing down everything remotely interesting going on around.
description + he wears a pale, blue robe, which flutters in the wind as he
description + walks. Occasionaly, when the wind picks up a bit, you'll
description + see him put his tome away and spread his arms, letting the
description + wind blow through his fingers.
role + I was born and raised in Hillcrest. My father was a school
role + teacher and my mother was a housewife. My father and I were
role + quite close. As long as I can remember, my father wanted to
role + study transmutation, but my mother would not let him, for
role + fear that it would be his death. One thing that he instilled
role + in me was a deep appreciation for knowledge. "Knowledge is
role + power," he always said. "Those who possess enough knowledge
role + control their own destiny." Thos words stayed with me, and
role + I've realised their truth. A couple years ago, my mother ran
role + out on us and my father and I still live in Hillcrest. He's
role + begun dating another woman (a conjurer), and I've no doubt
role + they'll be married eventaully. When my mother left, he bid
role + me to study magic, and master it's secrets. I was quite
role + happy to oblige his request, as it was always an interest of
role + mine as well.
role add
role + I sent in my application to the Masters of the Five Magics
role + today. I need to find some Masters to speak with and get
role + their recomendations so that when I speak with Hifflio, he'll
role + induct me. I hope I get in!
role add
role + Well, I've been a Master of the Five Magics for some time
role + now. It's SO much easier to study here, surrounded by an
role + atmosphere of learning and knowledge. Other Masters help me
role + whenever they can. Father will be very proud of me. I will
role + write home to him and tell him about my success once I've
role + finished perfecting shapeshift skill, as well as all the
role + controls that I know right now. He will be very happy indeed.
role add
role + Through all the goings on involving the Tower's mysterious
role + ally who calls himself -A, I have begun to learn the power
role + of deception. Used purely on it's own, it's not very powerful,
role + but when used as a compliment to Knowledge, the power of both
role + increases exponentially. I think I shall conduct a bit of
role + research into it's use, though I must be descrete about it,
role + and not use it too much, lest I not only ruin it's
role + effectiveness, but also ruin any trust I've built up with my
role + comrades.
