Name: Kyolear Tealith
Nicknames (if any): Kyo
Race: Mix Breed of Human and Elf
Class: Mage in Training
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Nature: Just starting out in life! Neutral – Good.
Realm: [To come]
Appearance:
Kyolear appears rather young, the finishing touches of adulthood still weaving its way into his appearance. Even though half-breed’s tend to look more like one race than the other, Kyolear’s appearance does not lean toward either human or elf. He looks like an equal mixture of both.
His most Human attributes are the color of his hair and eyes, as well as his height. He has short, straight, dark auburn hair and light brown energetic eyes. In height he is only about 5’10” and not truly anything spectacular.
His Elven traits would be those of his build and face shape. He is lean and yet fit, as would be considered the stereotypical elven build. He has a slender, oval face, and lightly pointed ears.
Kyolear is typically found wearing clothes that don’t exactly match the expected appearance of a mage, even if he is only still in training. He tends to wear dark colored pants, either deep brown or black in color. His shirt (or tunic – depending on how formal he is trying to appear) is usually a more vivid color – red, yellow, green, ect. He wears leather traveling boots. He also carries a typical black cloak and lightweight jacket with him, which he usually only wears when it is cold or raining.
Family:
Kyolear’s parent’s are Cethe and Marialyn Tealith. His father is a human and his mother is an elf.
Cethe (for a short description) is a naturally bulky man with vivid red hair and dark protruding eyes. Still, even with his slightly unfriendly appearance, he always walks around with a big grin. He was once a mage, and still considers himself one (though after an incident a while back, he has not been able to use magic very well).
Marialyn’s appearance seems to clash with that of her husband. She looks much younger than her him, but not because there is a vast difference in their age. Her elven blood runs strong in her and she is tall, taller than her husband by a couple of inches. Magic supposedly runs in her family, but she was never able to use a single spell in her life.
Kyolear has three younger siblings: two sisters and a brother. Their names are, respectively, Aleashia (16 - F), Lyzinale (12 - F), and Donuw (10 - M). Aleashia was the trouble maker of the family, always pulling pranks each chance that she got as long as she wasn’t one punished. She always managed to tilt the blame onto others, even when it was she who had coerced her siblings into a plot ‘against’ her parents. Lyzinale was the calmer child, always sitting in the background quietly doing as she was told. Of all of Kyolear’s siblings, she looks the most like an elf and also has a behavior expected of that race. Donuw, being the youngest, ended up being the one bullied (teased is a more appropriate word) the most by his siblings and yet also the one who was/is spoiled the most by his parents.
All of his family members are still living – as well as a grandparent or two (but that is for another time).
Tealith House:
The Tealith house is a family of magic users. They pride themselves on this fact even though few have ever succeeded in becoming exceptional users of magic. Supposedly the founding ancestor of this ‘House’ was a great magic user, one of the greatest. However, there is no proof of this and evidence seems to indicate that the great ancestor was only a myth. Still, most of the Tealith family members are convinced that the are related to a great mage and are willing to die to defend it.
One thing does give this house a unique trait. Though all members tend to have ability in magic, there is one magic form that is passed down generation to generation. Only one person in the Tealith family carries the power at a single time, and they are referred to as the Head of the Tealith House. Typically the power is passed down to the oldest child of the ‘Head’ (often male, but female’s have been known to inherit it), but at times it has passed onto siblings instead.
The Tealith ‘House’ only means the Tealith ‘Family’. Typically the Head of Tealith house is the only one who’s family is allowed to carry the last name of Tealith. Though the Tealith House has strict rules on expected behavior, a stingy group of mages to be sure, Kyolear’s family has more lenient (dare we say normal?) views on how to act.
History:
Kyolear was born into the house of Tealith during a snowy day. His parents are Cethe and Marialyn Tealith, a human and an elf. As he was his parent’s first child, the family was pretty excited about the event. A few weeks after his birth, a few close family friends might have been sick of hearing about him, but other than that no one was too upset about his birth.
He was an only child till he was about two, and when his sister (Aleashia) was born he was a jealous little rascal. Even after a year of failing to win any attention back from his parents, he still did not give up. Supposedly, when he was three, his father had left the door open to the house and so he took his little sister outside. He tried to get rid of her by taking her to stables and running away (back to the house), but as he was too small too realize it was a bad idea to head straight to his mom and tell her of his victory, his attempt to get rid of his sister was in vain. After a harsh punishment he stopped trying to get rid of her by leaving her outside – that didn’t mean he stopped trying to trap her in closets so that the evil monsters who knew were in there could find her easier. They never seemed to want her, however.
When his sister was about three, he finally started to become more accepting of the fact she was there. In fact, he seemed to become fixated on helping her do everything. Then, in another year, his second sister (Lyzinale) was born. Just as he had with Aleashia, he was very jealous of Lyzinale. As he pouted around angrily, Aleashia followed him and tried to mimic his actions. It was probably because of this that when Aleashia was found taking Lyzinale out of her crib that his parents immediately pointed their fingers at him (even though he had nothing to do with it).
About six months after Lyzinale was born, Aleashia and Kyolear were kidnapped. He and his sister had been playing outside when a group of four men had come down the road, obviously strangers to the area. When they neared the area Kyolear was playing with his sister, they started light, childish conversation with them. Kyolear had thought nothing of it at the time. There were often travelers on the road past their house, and it wasn’t the first time a small group had stopped to talk to them. However, this time things were different. One of the four men said he was a traveling entertainer and had a trick he wished to show them. Naively, both he and his sister came close to see what it was.
When they were close, the man indeed did show them a great deal of tricks – most of them pretty good. However, the moment he was finished, he and his men seized Kyolear and his sister and dragged them away. Kyolear can not remember the events that transpired afterwards clearly. He does remember the fear, however, and huddling close to his sister, crying, night… the men did nothing to hurt them, rather made sure they could not escape. They said they had a score to settle with the current head of the Tealith house, Cethe Tealith, and that he and his sister should be able to go home shortly.
Eventually Cethe Tealith did show up, livid. As the men started to speak, probably to boast over their actions as well as to explain them, Cethe attacked them with spell after spell. It was here that his ‘accident’ occurred, though fortunately the men had already started running for their lives. He mispreformed one of his more powerful spells, an error that almost cost him his life. It backfired, and wounded him gravely. By the time the three had returned to their small home, Cethe was in a worse state.
About a year after the incident, when his father was fully recovered, it was discovered that Cethe had lost nearly all of his magical ability (a disgrace among the Tealith’s for the head of the Tealith house). They received much scorn from Cethe’s family. Kyolear’s two uncles and grandparents practically disowned Kyolear’s family when they learned of it. Both Kyolear and his sister blamed themselves for what had happened to their father, though because of this experience they also grew very close.
It was during this time period that Kyolear’s health began to take a turn for the worse. He was constantly getting feverish and was always feeling exhausted. Any healer’s that visited could never find anything wrong with him, but that did not stop the symptoms from occurring. Kyolear’s mother finally gave up on the healer’s and used herbs to help hid most of the symptoms, allowing him to live a little more of a normal life.
Not long after, Donuw was born into the family, Kyolear now being eight years old. Kyolear was ecstatic about the event and finally being able to have a brother. Even though things were getting harder for him, with his health continuing to fail him, this event seemed to give him back some of his former energy.
During the next two years of his life, Kyolear’s life seemed to slow down horribly. His symptoms still had not disappeared, and whatever strange ailment he had developed appeared to be one that he was not ever going to rid himself of. He lost most of his friends during this time, mostly due to the fact he was never able to do anything with them because of his health as well as the fact his family gave him the education he needed under the roof of their own house. Aleashia stuck by his side for the most part, making him sometimes wish she hadn’t (as most of the time she was pulling one prank or another, which he still got blamed for).
When he was ten, however, his health finally broke apart, and he became deathly ill. Once again, his family couldn’t find a healer who could find what was causing his trouble. The only choice he and his family had left was to let him push through it on his own.
After about two weeks, Kyolear finally began to show some improvement, and within two months he was almost at the top of his health. Every so often he would still lapse back into serious signs of exhaustion and illness, but he always managed to bounce back.
The next few years of his life were rather typical of an adolescent beyond that. He became somewhat rebellious though he always made sure to help take care of his younger siblings. He spent many hours with his friends (whom he quickly regained as his health returned), shirking chores and wasting the days away.
When Kyolear turned fifteen, his grandfather, Cethe’s father, demanded that Kyolear be put into a school of magic. It was the first time that his grandfather had approached their family since his father had lost his abilities. The old man complained that Kyolear was already past due to begin learning, especially since he was directly in line to inherit the Tealith magic when it was passed on. As his grandfather refused to back down in this one regard, Kyolear’s parents finally relented and Kyolear was sent to learn magic from a near-by school. The school was close enough that Kyolear was able to visit his family often, and so it was that both his grandfather and family were satisfied with the results.
Kyolear did have magic ability, but the question was whether or not he could even control it. He went through several teachers at the school until he was almost sixteen. Finally, due to his sloppy use of magic, the school assigned him to one of their mages, Gingius Harper, who supposedly had a knack for finding magical in talent in those who - shall we say – struggled.
Kyolear trained under Gingius and did begin to make some progress, very slowly. Finally, just after his seventeenth birthday, Gingius told him that he lacked the ability to control magic. He said that this fact, and the fact he had most likely inherited the Tealith magic after his father had lost it, was the reason he constantly fell ill. Kyolear’s body just couldn’t seem to handle the form of magic that resided within it. Though Gingius never explained why, Kyolear got the impression that it was his elven side that as causing the problem.
Gingius presented Kyolear with an necklace that was attached to a tiny coin with a ruby embedded in it. The mage said it would help Kyolear make up for his inability as well as remove the strain of carrying the Tealith magic from his body. Quickly, Kyolear’s ability ‘exploded’, or in other words, the spells he had practiced over and over earlier in his training were suddenly able to take form. Still, Gingius seemed dissatisfied with something. He told Kyolear that in order for him to truly learn magic, he would have to go through a different form of training, one that would require him to leave his home for quiet some time.
Kyolear was never sure how Gingius eventually got him to agree to leave, all supposedly in the sake of training. One moment Kyolear was refusing to go, saying his training wasn’t really that important, and in the next he was saying goodbye to his family and heading off into the world with his teacher, Gingius.
Gingius’s training only got more complicated as time went by, Kyolear now eighteen. He insisted that Kyolear needed learn to use magic by himself if he was going to be able to bare the strain the Tealith magic put on his body. If he didn’t, Gingius believed that the magic would eventually kill him. Kyolear didn’t know if he entirely believed what he heard, but Gingius made a convincing story. As it ended, Gingius disappeared and left Kyolear on his own, in the middle of no where, with a single book an note as guidance.
Personality:
Tends to do as told – Overly helpful : He became very accustomed to doing whatever was asked of him, as his younger siblings were constantly bugging him to do things for them. He somehow got into the habit of listening to them rather then ignoring them.
Intelligent – Well, to a point.
Sympathetic – Dislikes suffering. (Not sure if Sympathetic is the right word)
Trusting – Naive? ; )
Unmotivated – Just wanders. He does not have his eyes set on much (at least for the moment)
Weaknesses: *I’m not good at writing them out, but he does have them. ^_^
Fears:
He dislikes traveling entertainers (Connected to History).
Golbins, orcs, and other such races tend to make him uneasy – mostly due to the fact he has not been near anyone of those races long.
--More maybe be added as they develop or are brought to my attention—
Magic Weaknesses:
He is not yet skilled in magic, and that in itself provides a problem. He also knows nothing about true combat, though his year of travel with Gingius did teach him some of how to live off the wild. When it comes to close combat, what little chance he might have in battle dies. He must keep the enemy away from himself or he will undoubtedly lose.
The control of his magic relies on the necklace he wears. Without it, magic becomes much more dangerous for him to use and it is also questionable whether he can even get a single spell to form. The fact his body seems to be incompatible with the type of magic he inherited, save when he is wearing the necklace, is another weakness.
Magic:
Craft: Elematalist (Inborn), as well as the Tealith Magic (Inherited) – His two magic abilities intertwine, however.
*Please note that I will be writing his spells on his Equipment page. This will allow me to update them as he gains new spells. All information other than what is listed above will be listed there*
