Sid Sunfruit

Raised.
He was raised at the town of Dawnpoint. A coastal town residing on a peninsula. The town is known for its magical school and vast library. His father is in the town council and has influence over the town.
Studies.
Sid was bored with studying Abjuration and Conjuration as instructed by his father. Instead his interest lie in nature, and the manipulation of nature and its energies. He is very familiar with pine forests as he grew up next to one. His main interests when younger was Alchemy and Transmutation. Necromancy was something that fascinated him, especially because it was forbidden, but was something he didn’t pursue seriously.
Life event 1
One day when he was 8, he found his mother hung from the top of the staircase in his home. It was most likely suicide. There was an attempt to bring her back to life, but it completely failed. Nobody is sure why. He never really dealt with the trauma caused by it and instead retreated into himself and books. He got a lot closer with Claus, and they were inseparable until their teens. And he got a lot closer to Joy, who became a surrogate mother to them.
Life event 2
At 19 years old, Claus went out of town with a group that he squired for. Soon after they came back, most of them injured, one dead. Claus seemed to be fine with minor injuries, but as the days passed by he got worse, until the third day when he died. Again there was both an attempt to heal and resurrect him, but there was nothing that could be done. Sid had also tried to heal Claus with potions, but couldn’t do much more than ease the pain.
Sid lost some faith in priests at this point. Thinking they were either malicious or incompetent. 

New goals and things he did.

The death of Claus gave Sid a goal and a purpose in life. He will bring his family back from death. This event is what sparked necromancy into a passion, rather than a distant hobby.
It started with locked up books on necromancy disappearing from the library, that he hid and studied in secret. After a year he could make a rat twitch. After 2 years he could completely animate the rat, as long as he focused on it. After 3 years he could animate a cat. Then a dog…
He was discovered with the books and was thoroughly scolded and punished for stealing them and practicing. However it didn’t stop him, just delayed him. And then he was scolded one more time….
The final straw was when he felt ready to start animating people. The town had noticed that some graves had been dug up, and Sid being a terrible liar, was discovered when asked about it.
Some townspeople went so far as asking for his execution, worried Sid was some evil demon. His father couldn’t do that, and instead gave Sid 24 hours to gather his things and leave the town for good.
His main goal now is to get more advanced in the arts of necromancy, and learn about resurrection, specifically, True Resurrection. He believes that it might be the only spell that can still save his family, seeing normal resurrection failed.

Personality and quirk stuff

• Sid is not too bothered with things that are considered taboo or morally wrong, and has no problem with most things as long as people he care for doesn't get hurt. Necromancy is practical, and if needed he’d have no problem resolving to cannibalism. 
• Combat is out of Sids comfort zone and he wants to avoid injury at great costs. He will never instinctively throw himself in front of others, and could even go as far as using someone as a meatshield. 
• Sid likes to help others, because it makes him feel useful and important. Because of this, he can also easily be manipulated by people. Just give him enough pats on the head and praise and he will most likely do most tasks. He could be manipulated into doing things he normally wouldn’t do, like hurting innocents/family or put his life in danger.
• Sid is terrible at dealing with emotions and will bottle them up until he throws a fit of rage. To deal with emotions up to that point, he will use substances like drugs and alcohol to dampen them.
• While not bothered with gore or the smell of carcass or other disturbing imagery, he is haunted by the sight of his hung mother. The smell of lavender(which she wore as perfume) will make him heave more than any common rot. Nooses and the sight of hung people terrifies him.
• Sid refuses to accept that his mother and brother are dead, and have never mourned them. There is no point in mourning someone who will be resurrected. Because of this, he takes comfort in imagining that his brothers spirit is with him, and simply silently waiting for him. Sid doesn't remember his mother as vividly and cannot do the same for her.
• Whenever he gets confident around people, and he feels like a useful member of the group, he can easily become over confident. To the point where he wants to boast and rub it in other peoples faces. If left alone and taken far it can even cause him to become sadistic.
