GENERAL
Name: Sonny Everclear
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Guild: Red Dawn
Occupation: Guild Mage
Tier: C-Regular Wizard
(OP)Birthday: June 19th
(OP)Gemstone: Pearl
(OP)Zodiac Sign: Gemini
PERSONAL/MENTAL
(OP) Defining Characteristics: Clumsy and Enthusiastic
Guild Mark/Location?: A white guild mark rests on the left side of his waist.
Appearance: Standing at an average height, his build is smooth and lean with a healthy slim physique. His kind face and smooth features suit him perfectly and his star covered stocking cap and dark glasses add to his boyish charm. His eyes are sky blue and his hair a light coral. He comes off as quite loveable, like a small rabbit, appealing to both women and men who like that sort of thing.
Personality: Unfortunately Sonny isn't the most capable mage. While he's adept at celestial magic, he's also clumsy, scatterbrained and feeble bodied, yet his magic makes him an asset to any team. He looks up to other mages who seem to have it all together and strives to be more like them. Often at his side is a celestial spirit of the constellation Auriga, named Farful, who is one of Sonny's closest friends. He looks like a miniature blue snowman with feet and a cone shaped nose. Oddly, he always seems to be too hot, except in cool or cold weather. Although Farful doesn't seem to serve any purpose in battle, Sonny appears to do better when he knows his friend is safe.
Strengths: With so many negative attributes, one would think he's completely hopeless, but he does have a few saving graces. Although it may not be considered a talent, he is extremely kind and generous and it's generally easy for him to make friends. Even though he fails miserably at most things, he probably puts in more effort than most people and has an unbreakable will. When he's pushed to his limits, his true potential shines, he just has to learn how to tap into it.
Weaknesses: When it comes to skills outside of combat, the young mage doesn't have many. Sonny is a horrible cook and always finds a way to ruin any dish he tries to make. He's too forgetful to be good at chores and anyone assigning them to him usually become frustrated after a while. He cannot sing, act or dance to save his life and isn't good at getting his point across either, so diplomacy isn't in the cards for him. He's always taking a hand at different things to see if there's something he's good at, however it hasn't provided him with any positive results just yet.
PHYSICAL/MAGICAL
Ability: Sonny uses Celestial Spirit Magic that allows him to summon celestial spirits residing in the celestial spirit world. Once a spirit has been summoned, it can perform several tasks for him and will fight on his side. His celestial spirits have varying degrees of power while some being more suited to certain tasks than others. However celestial beings have their own personalities and traits and will sometimes act on their own, ignoring Sonny's commands. Sonny's ability to summon his spirits is limited to how much magic power he has to sustain them. The more spirits he summons and the more powerful they are, the more magic power he exhausts. Sonny has been very fortunate to come into possession of 3 golden zodiac keys left behind by his grandfather while the one silver key was bought for him by his parents. Three other silver keys were obtained by him on his travels with Jericho.
Spells: Currently he is able to summon all three of his zodiac spirits in one day which is rather impressive. He can also summon one zodiac spirit and one silver key celestial spirit at the same time or two silver key celestial spirits at the same time but hasn't been able to summon two zodiac spirits at once just yet.
The three zodiac keys open:
The gate of the Twins, Gemini – Copy Magic. Gemini can perfectly copy anyone that they have come into contact with. Once transformed, they can also mimic the powers and abilities of the transformee, unless said person is stronger than their owner.
The gate of the Golden Bull, Taurus – Immense strength and enhanced reflexes. Taurus expertly wields a mighty axe capable of engaging others in armed combat and dispatching large groups of enemies.
The gate of the Ram, Aries – Fluffy Wool Magic. Aries uses wool magic to lull her enemies into a comfortable state of relaxation. Her wool magic can be used to protect herself and others as well as deflect and distract her enemies.
The four silver celestial keys open:
The Gate of the Auriga, Farful – Sonny's companion. Farful has no real combat abilities and only serves as Sonny's celestial friend.
The gate of the Royal Scepter, Cepheus – Magic Flux. Cepheus can cast a spell that temporarily boosts the magic power of the target or diminishes it. The effect only lasts for 5 minutes.
The gate of the Painter's Easel, Pictor – Illusion Magic. Pictor takes the form of a painter with his easel. Pictor can use his paint brush to paint illusions. Useful for tricking and evading enemies.
The gate of the Tucan, Tucana – A celestial spirit with two forms. In her first form, Tucana resembles a beautiful harpy like creature with multicolored plumage. In this form she has shown significant skill in melee combat and wind magic, she can also translate any language, written or spoken. In her second form, she resembles a knee-high bird. In this form, she has an ability called "razor beak", granting her the ability to penetrate many man-made or magical constructs, depending on its strength.
(OP)Specialties: As mentioned below, he carries with him an ancient tome that has become something of a family heirloom. When in a pinch, he uses the book as both a defensive and offensive weapon although he isn't very good at defending himself. The book is an ancient tome that forever gives off a warm yet faint pulsing light. The book has several purposes. Mainly he uses the book as a guide to learn how to use his celestial powers to their fullest potential. When in a bind however, he can use the book as both a weapon and as armor. Though unassuming, the book somehow packs quite a wallop if he's able to hit his opponent with it and if he manages to hit you over the head, expect to see stars! He also uses the book as a shield, as it can absorb most low-mid level single target spells and physical attacks. Despite having so many uses for the book, he is no knight and his reaction time is horrible, so his chances of being able to defend himself properly are about 50/50.
OTHER
(OP)History: A native of the capitol, Sonny was born into a family of artisans in the lower ring. Sonny was the only child of the small family of commoners, they knew their lives would become more difficult with another mouth to feed but they treated his birth as a blessing. His parents doted on him at a young age and had high hopes that he too would pick up a talent like they did. His mother Natalia is a skilled seamstress and his father Lionel is a renowned sculptor. Natalia and Lionel were sure their bundle of joy would excel in some type of profitable trade, however when it became apparent he had an unfortunate knack for screwing things up, those dreams were quickly dashed.
Because he was so clumsy and awkward as a child, he didn't have many friends. His parents decided it was best he spent most of his time with them, so that he wouldn't be picked on as much or treated unfairly. It was also their hope that he would pick up a skill to help add to the family business. When he was about 8 years old, he witnessed another boy his age stealing food and wanted to warn him about doing something wrong. His parents always told him that even though they were poor, he shouldn't steal or he would cause problems for other people. Jericho was too quick for him though and easily left Sonny behind. Undeterred, Sonny gathered some food from home and waited for the boy the next day. Jericho tried to scare him off but Sonny just smiled and offered him something to eat, however Jericho coldly refused.
Still wanting to be friends, Sonny decided to spy on Jericho from a distance to learn more about him, however Sonny was so terrible at spying, he would always get caught and end up causing trouble. Eventually he managed to track Jericho back to where he was staying outside of town. Sonny would hide behind some bushes every day, waiting for Jericho's parents to come but he was always alone. Sonny was sure the other boy would get angry if he revealed himself, so he never said anything, he thought maybe they could be friends from a distance, so that the other boy didn't have to be alone all the time...until one day a rock hit him in the shoulder. It seemed that Jericho knew he was there the entire time. Caught red handed, Sonny crawled out from the bushes and offered to be friends again and to his surprise, Jericho accepted. The two have been friends ever since.
Just before turning 14, Sonny started to display signs of having an aptitude for magic. This was great, because he was now able to practice magic with Jericho. While his two parents were unable to afford proper tutoring, Natalia wrote to her mother for advice on how Sonny could hone his skills. Although she had no magical abilities of her own, his grandmother did possess something that would prove invaluable. One day a package arrived at the Everclear's doorstep. The package contained 3 golden celestial zodiac keys to add to the 1 silver celestial key he already possessed. There was also a worn and weathered blue tome. The ancient tome Sonny carries is the one his grandmother sent him. Before his death, Sonny's grandfather had given his grandmother instructions on what to do with it. Inside was a note explaining how delighted she was to see that there would finally be some use for the old thing.
Sonny began to realize that the more he learned from the book and the more his abilities increased. Not only that, the physical appearance of the book was changing as well. Slowly, the book seemed to reverse its age and at this point in his studies, even gives of a faint pulsing glow. After teaching himself much of the book, he was finally confident enough to leave his parents behind and go on a journey with his friend Jericho, searching for the latter's dragon father. The journey lead them on one adventure after another but eventually the trail went cold and they were out of money and resources. It was about this time a new guild was accepting members, so Sonny convinced Jericho that they should join the Red Dawn guild. With a way to make money and the support of new friends, maybe they could finally find Jer's Eath Dragon Father! All his life he had been nothing but a screw up but he wants nothing more than to repay his family, help his best friend and honor his new guild by becoming a successful mage.
