the fab five

TRYSTAN DE GRAFF:

A preppy blond with an inflated sense of self-worth. Trystan has never worked very hard for anything in his life and he has few complaints about his fortunate upbringing. He is popular, funny, and in love with a sweet guy named Dirk. His self-absorption is monumental, yet somehow he reserves a special place in his psyche for Dirk, as his lover and companion. On the verge of graduation from Rokowon College, life couldn't be better for Trystan: prestige, clout, and true love. He is also the captain of his WIZARD WAR team and the champion FLIGHT FIGHTER at Rokowon.

Trystan employs ascerbic wit, cunning intelligence, and a goal-oriented mind; he won't take "NO" for an answer. His conversations are blunt and to the point. If there's a lull in the energy, Trystan always reignites the flame. He is a passionate and skilled flamesculptor. He enjoys acting, dancing, and music of all sorts. Always on the move, the perpetual extravert, it's hard to keep up with Trystan. Life is held at a critical, often aloof, distance for Trystan and there are few who really understand or truly care about him. Trystan is surely a master magician in the making. He knows he is powerful and lusts for ever-greater skills in the arcane arts. He is a wanderer and traveler at heart, and yearns to find a way to escape the responsibilties of running the family estate (thus, being tied down) after his imminent graduation.


Trystan with long hair in the future

A mage born on the cusp of the FIRE/WIND CYCLES (Primary expression: FIRE / Secondary expression: WIND).

KNACKS (Issue no.1):

PROTECTION FROM FLAME: All sources (magickal or not) of fire do not harm Trystan's body in any way. Trystan can walk in magma, for instance.

FIRE CHARGE: When Trystan comes in contact with a non-magickal source of flame or fire, he is able to channel its enegery into his fire matrix and increase the intensity of his fire magick.

ENDLESS FLAME (Fire conjuration): the ability to create a single sphere (up to 3' in diameter) of fire within 100 ft. that burns until its master wills it to cease. Ordinarily, a mage can only create a single ENDLESS FLAME, but in Trystan's case, he was gifted with the ability to maintain two ENDLESS FLAMES.

FIRE SCULPTING: the ability to change fire into different shapes and sizes, and forms.

FLAME READING (MINOR): The ability to divine YES and NO answers from reading the flickering of a flame. The reader places his hands over a source of flame and if the flame dims the answer is "NO" and if it brightens the answer is "YES."

FIRE GOLEM: the ability to summon a GOLEM made of lava and fire that protects the mage and follows commands. Any fire spells that the mage wishes to cast may emanate from the golem. The golem must remain within 100 ft. of the Mage at all times.

SHIMMERING LIGHTS: the ability to create a sphere of blinking lights in all different colors and brightnesses. Those who look into the sphere within 50 ft. suffer a temporary disorientation and sometimes temporary blindness if closer.

SPARK SHOWER: A shower of sparks emanates from Trystan's hands that can create minor damage or blindness if close enough to the eyes.

LEVITATION/FLIGHT: As long as there is a breeze (even slightly), Trystan has the ability to levitate and fly. Trystan's skills are unrivaled and he's the best flight fighter around (a variation on boxing where the fighters are in a dome and can use their flight powers to excute moves within the dome while sparring).

LAVA CYCLONE: A funnel cloud made of flames that devours anything it can consume or reel in and sprays lava haphazardly from its conic body.

RAIN OF FIRE: Depending on the densities of the clouds, Trystan can summon a sprinkling of sparks or a flaming tempest. Trystan can also use this ability to quell the regular rains.

HEALING AURA (MINOR): the caster, and anyone in contact with the caster, recovers more rapidly from wounds and extent physical damage.
