Name: Emrin Carth
Age:
19
Gender:
Female
Appearance:
Emrin stands at just barely above 4'11" and weighs 95 lbs. Her eyes are a light grey. She has thick, black hair that reaches her lower back but is usually kept in two neat braids that shorten it to her mid back. She has a tattoo of an owl behind her left ear, but it is not enchanted. She almost always wears her cloak, and simple brown pants and a white shirt underneath. For shoes, she prefers simple short leather boots.
School and Class of Magic:
Conjouring - Summoner - somewhere in between intermediate and beginner
Skills:
Climbing - Emrin often climbed around the rooftop of her home and church to escape her parents and certain events. She has also hidden in trees a few times to avoid punishment.
Lying - After she began to question her beliefs, she learned to lie to her parents and preachers to avoid punishment and avoid being labeled as a dissenter.
Near perfect memory - Emrin will never forget anything she doesn't want to. Her memory allows her to learn things quickly. However, things can occasionally get jumbled and once they do, it's hard for her to forget the wrong facts and replace them with the correct ones.
Magic Skills:
Summon - Emrin's summon takes the form of an owl. Although she is an intermediate summoner, it still doesn't listen to her very well, but she can summon him for about 45 min at a time
Enhanced hearing - Emrin can use her magic to enhance her hearing. She can't quite make it as good as an owl's but it's usually good enough for eavesdropping.
Silence - Emrin has been working on using her magic to make her movement completely silent, the same way an owl has an almost silent flight. It's a work in progress.
Weaknesses:
Night owl - using her magic during the day makes her very sleepy, while using her abilities in the evening make it hard for her to sleep
No eye movement - when using her magic she can't move her eyes. She must turn her entire head the same way an owl does
Magic weakness - both her and her summon are weak to geomany, flora and energy magic.
Equipment:
Magic staff (and her Summon - I need name suggestions)
A cloak enchanted to keep the wearer warm in the cold and cool in the heat
A small bag of dried meat for her summon
Personality:
Many call her a pessimist. Emrin, however, considers herself to be a realist. She is a very logical person and always thinks her choices through. Often sarcastic and not afraid to tell people what she thinks. Slow to trust, but once you earn it, it's hard to lose. She is a fiercely loyal friend will not hesitate to trade her life and lie for those she cares about. Betray that trust though, and you will never earn it back. Emrin is stubborn and doesn't like to back down from an argument, which often gets her in trouble. She can be fairly close-minded, although this has gotten better since learning that many of her beliefs were wrong and leaving Providence. She loves to learn and ask questions. She has a bad habit of rolling her eyes and raising her eyebrow at almost everything, which can make it seem like she's always looking down on her.
Background:
Emrin was born in Providence. Her father was one of the best enchanters in the city, and because of this, they were very wealthy. They were also known to be one of the most devout couples and Emrin was raised believing their teachings. Because of her family's wealth, Emrin grew up with the best education, magical training, and enchanted items. Emrin's parents had expected her to take over the family business if she had magic, but she was an only child and didn't get along with the others. So, when she first discovered she had magic, she, of course, turned to summoning. Her parents were furious. Not only did she go against their wishes, but she had also summoned an
owl. A creature of the night that was certainly not holy. Luckily though, her mother still believed that her powers should be trained and hired a private tutor for her, though her magic was kept a secret from most of the family friends.
Despite her parents' beliefs though, she never cared much for the religion and was considered a troublesome child. Sure she believed the teachings and did her daily prayers, but she often skipped large worships and other related events, often climbing onto rooftops and into trees to escape and hide. She preferred to spend time practicing her magic and studying the things that actually interested her, such as history, magical theory, and math. As she grew older she became curious about the other cities and began asking the wrong questions. What did they do to deserve to be attacked by the monsters? Is being a non-believer really such a bad thing as long as you were a good person? How could the Johnson's on the other side of the city be killed in the last attack when they were more devoted than the Smiths who lived right next door to them? Surely it couldn't be possible for
everyone outside of heretic to be deserving of punishment. It didn't take her long to learn to keep her mouth shut if she wanted to avoid beatings or being branded a heretic. The older she got, the more she began to question the Church. Funnily though, to an outsider it would look like she grew out of being a troublesome child and into a proper devout worshipper.
When she was 13 Emrin's mother was killed in an attack. Despite her mother's devotion in life, once she was killed everyone treated her as a heretic. Even Emrin's own father became appalled with his. Any pictures of her were burned and her possessions destroyed. 2 months later, her father was already engaged to another woman. Soon after, Emrin stole of some her father's enchanted items and used them to pay a trader to take her to Breez.To Emrin, who had hardly never gone farther from her home than the church, leaving the city was like entering an entirely new world. It was terrifying, full of people who lived in constant fear of each other and monsters. And yet, at the same time, it was amazing. There was so much to learn and see, and Emrin couldn't get enough. Life in Breez was difficult at first. She had grown up wealthy and privileged, with access to anything she could have ever wanted. She had no idea how the trade system worked or what the artifacts she brought with her were worth, leading to everything except her cloak and staff getting essentially scammed away. About 4 months after arriving in Breez, she discovered a book shop that allowed her to spend the day inside reading. Eventually, the owner gave her job there and taught her how to earn her keep and trade properly. When the owner died 2 years later, she took over ownership of the shop.
Relationships:
Logan Russo - She used to play with his daughter before her mother sold his family out to the inquisitors.
