Personality

Alignment: Lawful Good

Drive: Finding purpose and acceptance in serving the community

Solomon is a social person, not naturally a loner. Ironic, considering getting them to talk is nearly impossible. They has a fantastic desire to be apart of a community. A case of nature vs nurture, had everything gone properly, one might have seen Solomon take up a position in the Mage order, or government, where he could guide others. Instead, he is absolutely tight lipped, and when he does talk it will probably not be about himself. Inspired by a strong martyr complex, Solomon will often neglect himself emotionally in dedicate himself to responsibilities. Feeling no kinship to his former clan, and ostracized by others for his frightening face and magic, he lives in limbo. He certainly doesn't help himself, being snappy and defensive with strangers as a defense mechanism. Being that he exiled himself yet still craves company, Solomon is often reckless and desperate in social situations. Selfless to a fault, he only finds solace and purpose in helping others, yet can't escape constant discomfort when he has any attention on his appearance. Extremely superstitious, pious, tired, and lost. His biggest faults are his lack of self acceptance, his irrational rage at being seen, and his need for constant control.

History

• Born in Nymene to a frightened and close knit family, who ghosted their prodigy child away from civilization to hide. The Mage Order was not going to take power away from them 
• Solomon was raised and manipulated to do what was best for the family always, their magic being used to hide other wild mages to keep them safe from being taken as well
•  Sometimes, Solomon was asked to absorb other wild mages magic if they lacked the discipline to control themselves, cutting off opportunities for corruption 
• Instills a sense of duty in the child, but quickly turns Solomon into a machine: completing tasks to acquire praise from adults in their life 
• The warring concepts of magic being dangerous and hateful skews Solomon’s self perception, in part because of the violent side effects his own magic on himself 
• As a teen, the government of Nymene bust the cult, capturing many of Solomon’s community and shipping away mages to other places 
• Those that escape the raid become more extremist, and Solomon, desperate for normalcy to return, joins the gang 
• Ambitions change, and his found-family begin violent exploits on Nymenian outposts to rebel against the anti-magic sentiment of the masses 
• Nymene soldiers eventually bust THAT group, arresting and mauling those who resist arrest and deportation; Solomon flees 
• Donning full coverage attire, Solmon travels and works odd jobs, hiding their background in magic Eventually, they come to Ivras, seeking peace
