History

(I am a very rusty writer)

Banks doesn't remember much of his childhood, he was given to the Order when he was 8 by a village of non-mages after his family home burnt down resulting in the death of both his parents. It was explained that he was found among the ruins by a well, his body soaking wet and curled into a tight ball. He couldn't remember that though, and when they arrived at Namarast they realized that too.

What he could remember were fragments of pieces that made no sense. Like the taste of raspberries and the bright yellow of a sunflower in bloom, or the warmness of a home that felt foreign, like he was pulling it from a dream. He also remembered the smell of smoke, an insufferable heat, the sight of ash falling from the sky like snow with a sharp feeling of a fear that visits him frequently in his nightmares. He can pull enough pieces together to understand what happened. But why? Eventually he stopped trying to understand.

He's never been much of a talker either. No one in the Order has ever heard the colt mutter a word and at first they poked and prodded for anything but after several meltdowns and a few injuries it was decided it probably wasn't worth the effort. 

He was 13 when his power manifested and it comforted him to know it wasn't confrontational magic. Banks much rather preferred to talk (as ironic as that is) than to fight. He is also an exceptionally smart student and a gifted problem solver, it helps him well in his later years.

By the time he graduates Banks has grown into a solid product of the Mage Order and is used within their ranks to track and find wanted individuals for other mage groups. He is now traveling all over Ivras and his knowledge of the outside world is now more than the spoon fed information given to him but the Order and, maybe they aren't the heroes he thought they were.

Banks' magic manifested in the form of "aura" trackingHe is becoming more confident in his tracking and it is starting to take less effort, making his recovery time shorter and the distance longer. Most "auras" will be a single, vibrant color unique to the target and it will present as a smoky trail that seemingly comes from their hearts.

Eventually Banks will be able to track multiple targets at a time and the means to create a trail will become less personal (perhaps a single picture or even a cup they drank from once). His power could also evolve to let him hide his own presence, almost as if he were invisible until touched or if attention was brought back to him.

Costs

  • Magic somewhat impairs or reduces one or more of the caster's senses while it is in use: Mock tunnel vision (zeros in on trail), making him visually impaired 
  • Magic use fatigues the caster: Recovery time may take 1-7 days of sleep depending on how long his power is in use
  • Magic use reduces the caster's mobility or reflexes: Large amount of concentration makes reaction time slow
