PERSONALITY
Positive Traits: Adonis makes it a point to always be very cautious both in the wild and relative safety of civilization. He also tries to keep an eye on people, and his surrounding environment. Adonis is also decently vocal, and will always try to debate and talk through things to get a better outcome.
Negative Traits: As Adonis is a blessed commoner, he is often looked down upon by those higher in the social hierarchy than him. This causes him to have an ego about his social status, and easily takes offense when people look down on him or think he's not as intelligent. This can, and often has caused unnecessary conflicts. He is also not the most socially aware.
Brief Personality: While Adonis is mature, but still has a lot to learn. Overall, he is a kind a very kind person whose opinion is easily turned. It only takes a small slight for him to change his mind about a person and take offense, but will eventually come around. He hasn't had the best experience with people since his coming to the Knights Arcane and isn't always the best in social situations and it shows. He is quick to make smart remarks, but can also read the room and understands tact. Outside of the classroom and put in the wild, Adonis is quite different, and takes a more serious and calculated approach to things. He doesn't like to take chances, and makes safety one of the highest priorities.
Fears: One of the main creatures that decimated his previous village and killed his mother was a large bear shaped creature with incredible claws. Not only did it kill his mother, it created the scars he carries on his back every day.
Motivations: Adonis' home village was lost to the blight when he was still a young teenager. Not only did he lose his hometown and basically everyone he knew, his mother was killed in the process as well. With nothing left, Adonis wants to reclaim his home village to finally put his mother to rest.

Background:
For the vast majority of Adonis' life, it was quiet solitude in the village he was born in with his mother and two best friends. His village, known as Reznik, was on the outskirts of the kingdom near the border between the Dominion and the Blighted Lands so conflict and losing fathers and husbands was not so uncommon. Adonis was always told his father fell to an attack before he was born, and nobody in the village contradicted his story. He spend most of his childhood with Iyo and Fredrik exploring the area around the village, despite the danger of the nearby blight.
Not long after becoming a teenager, he awoke one morning with glowing eyes of bright violet and their veins were pulsing with an ominous dark purple glow. It turned out a crystal had made his way to the village, and Adonis reacted. His mother found him, and told him the truth about his father. Adonis' father was a part of the nobility, and Adonis had been born a bastard. Not willing to shame himself, he distanced himself from his mother before Adonis was born. It wasn't long upon learning this did the Blight encroach on the village for the last time. The attack took his mother and his home and forced him into a refugee. Shortly after this, he was found by the authorities as someone who was blessed, and shoved into The Knights Arcane.
For the next few years, he spent his time as a squire under a fellow Order of the Thunderlord Spellslinger. He learned not only how to survive, but how to use his abilities to thrive in the unforgiving Blighted Lands. Through countless missions and the hardship of years of combat and training, he finally became a Knight of The Knights Arcane. While Adonis hopes to climb the ranks of the Knights and become stronger, his goal in life is to purge Reznik of the Blight, in honor and in memory of his mother.

Arcane Abilities Description:
Adaptive Lightning Bolts: Can focus or unfocus his lightning bolts to change the their form. Adonis can unfocus his lightning bolts to create a larger and more widespread bolt, but heavily afflicts it's range. On the other side, he can hyper focus a lightning bolt to create a long range precision weapon, but has absolutely no piercing or aoe damage.
Electrical Currents: As a user of both paths of the Thunderlord and Watersinger, Adonis is able to direct lightning through water, extending his reach and utility as he can also control water and it's currents. This can be used on existing bodies of water, or water generated through Adonis' spells showing a high promise for ambush or control tactics.
Chain Lightning: Adonis can gather lightning in his wand and compress it into a ball. After throwing the ball, it decompressses and releases the wild lightning, striking multiple targets on it's way to the initial target. This ability can't be controlled so care is taken to avoid collateral damage.
Lightning Constructs: With the natural ability of the Watersinger Adonis can create water constructs. After this, he can use lightning to change the properties of the construct. Despite their new abilities, they are still quite weak.
Weapons of Choice: A duel set of black wood wands. One of them is adorned with purple Crystals attuned to the Path of the Thunderlord, and the other wand with blue Crystals for the Path of the Watersinger.
