History

Aerandir keeps his past mostly unsaid. He had taken an innocent interest in the practice of magic at a very young age. People found out, and thus he was put into his town's magic school. The path of (legally) pursuing magic meant to just take on healing and alchemy. But Aerandir is an ever-so-curious person with a bright mind, his passion meant more to him than appealing to others. After years of hiding his practice- he finally broke down and did a lot to escape his fate in the village. He had done violent, bad things, to get out of there. A price he paid with guilt and more determination than ever to live as himself. Unprepared for the world outside his town, his sacrifice was seemingly worthless once lowly bandits were quick to overtake him barely a couple weeks into his journey. That is, until a strange, furious dragon came to his aid.

Personality

The mage often has his head in the clouds. He's a dreamer, an optimist (mostly), and a brilliant mind. He's dedicated to his craft and believes there's so much more out there for him, and later, his dear friends. He's incredibly naive though and often succumbs to black-and-white viewpoints when his passions are in question. Though his intelligence is notably incredible, his lack of wisdom often balances that out. Despite his murky past and wrongdoings, he is unfaltering in his kindness and good-hearted nature. He's kind of a goody-goody, and a huge dork. He gets flustered easily, a sight not uncommon to see when he messes up a spell or other, often dangerous, magical endeavors. Aerandir is also one to be very worried about his worth, striving to prove himself as someone worthwhile- and notably aware of his elevated cowardice and anxiety. He is unaware of his own bravery, especially in regards to his pursuing of magic, befriending a dragon-shifter, and unwavering spirit.
