Darius

PERSONALITY

• Steady, dependable, straight-laced
• Stern, serious, somber
• Careful, meticulous, detail-oriented
• Stubborn, determined
• Diligent, hardworking
• Attentive, patient, caring
• Respectful, humble

POWERS

• Reformation - his innate magic allows him to rebuild things that are broken, and he is able to modify the final product to better suit his needs. However, whatever it is he is repairing must have the "memory" of what it should be, and he is unable to modify the nature of whatever it is he is repairing. Unable to repair living things, however he is able to repair constructs and weaves. Can and will break things to "repair" to suit his needs
  • Combine - able to combine two broken things into one whole. Far more complex and time-consuming than simply fixing one broken thing
  • Assimilation Machine - more of an equipment than a variant of his skill, the Machine is a specially created virus that kills living things or infects their corpses and then turns them into techno-organic forms which he is then able to "repair". Due to the nature of the Machine, this ability is kept secret
• Spell Weave - structural magic that can only be learned through years of study. Has learned several weaves, and applies them to a far greater degree than most any other mage 
  • Disassemble/Reassemble - combining his Repair ability and expertise with weaves, he is able to break weaves and instantly "repair" them to suit his needs. As a result, he is a near-perfect counter to most mages
  • General attack spells, healing, teleport, binding, barrier, search, levitation, hammerspace, etc . . . just the general stuff other mages use weaves for, and more

EQUIPMENT

• Book - the book is locked to him, and he stores all his data and magic arrays inside it. Pretends to rely on it far more than he actually does, but he does use it a lot
• Glasses - specially made to hone his ability to see magic signatures and read spell arrays, doesn't have anything to do with his eyesight
• Knife, Gun - specially made to break spell arrays, also usable as a normal weapon if necessary
  • Also has a number of ordinary guns, swords, motorbikes and other weaponry and vehicles stored in his hammerspace, for use whenever a primarily physical fight would be more efficient
• Uniform - stacked with layer upon layer of armor and buff spells, all powered by the crystals it is dotted with

SKILLS

• Magic Research - specialist in the modification of existing structures and architecture, also has a high degree of proficiency in magical structure. Also great at making magic items, from armor and weaponry to charms and talismans
• Architectural Magic - gets buttloads of money by making interesting additions to people's houses
• Armed & Unarmed Combat - initially, he's had to rely quite a bit on his physical capabilities to make up for his slow cast and weak magic. While that has stopped being a problem, he has still kept up with his regular fitness routine and thus is pretty built for a mage

COMBAT STYLE

• An anti-mage specialist, able to instantly break spell matrices and reform them 
• In ordinary combat situations, he is a highly adaptable fighter with an endless grab-bag of tricks
• In desperate circumstances, he releases Assimilation Machine and modifies creatures killed by it into a personal army

WEAKNESSES

• No innate combat ability, reliant on weaves and weaponry to fight
• His "repair" magic is unable to control corruption 
• Quite reliant on his gear to properly fight
• Specializing in undoing spells and gimmicks mostly means he fares comparatively poorly against direct physical fighters of the same rank

NOTES

• Has quite a large family with many siblings, though he is not close to them. The brother he was close to however, an aspiring mage, was killed in action when he was very young. It was due to his desire to continue his brother's dreams that he so stubbornly clung to the path of a mage
• One of Lizon's students, entered into Lizon's tutelage at age 10. Started out as one of the weakest but ended up as a very notable research mage in his own right
• Thomas often pays him to do the fine tuning for what spells and potions the other mage develops
