==About==
The Kin of Grimoire are a mysterious organization which are reportedly seeking to create the ultimate wizard through different means of experimentation. Their members have been modified to tie their astral presence to deeper reserves of their spirit, giving them a prior unseen depth of magic which seems to have both good and bad side effects. On the strong side, their magic seems to be of a high level, breaking rules and imposing outcomes more on theme than anything. On the bad side, those put under such experiments have odd things happen to their bodies. As one ex-member put it, after certain experiments she became 'broken'. It's been said that the Kin of Grimoire have a deeper motive for their Ultimate Wizard. Recently the member Rurose revealed to [[PARADIGM]] that the Kin hope to create this wizard in order to combat the return of The Black Wizard Zeref, said to the cause of the end of the last age, and now long since thought a myth. While the Magic Council of Dallurn has ignored signs of his return, the Kin of Grimoire have heeded them and now look to prepare even at the result of criminal activity.

==The Story So Far==

===The discovery of the Kin===
The impact of the Kin of Grimoire has been seen across a number of [[PARADIGM]] hired incidents. Before they were recognized as antagonists, Dallurnian guild [[Soaring Heights]] hired PARADIGM to investigate an increasing trend of thefts across the kingdom that was themed around magical trinkets and storage crystals known as lacrima. What the agents found was a group known as the [[Elemental Four]], wizards who had been left guildless when theirs was forcefully disbanded by the Magic Council, had been persuaded to crime by one of their own, Erigor, who was now a subordinate under a larger organization. When ultimately confronted by PARADIGM, who offered him an opportunity to stand down, he issued a return challenge that resulted in the lacrima's return and three of the four wizards turning themselves in, but Erigor himself leaving the scene in order to return to those who had hired him. Despite very little information given from him directly, his belongings had been scouted during his speeches and what appeared to be a guild crest was found among them which would later reveal his connection to a larger group, the Kin of Grimoire.

===The Library and The Runner===
In events that first seemed unrelated, PARADIGM was called out by a distress beacon at Dallurn's Library of Infinity, an ancient tower filled with books that was said to have been there well before Dallurn itself was even established, a relic of the prior age. The tower's guardians, magical constructs known as Astral Tomes, had been subdued and reprogrammed by a pair of invaders going by the names Ultear and Melody. Melody held the power to infuse emotion into her target, and share pain inflicted on her body, while Ultear held powers over time that allowed her to disperse magic to the point of non-existence, as well as shift objects to-and-from their former and future states. While the pair had sought to steal the core of Argente, the Astral Tome of Magic, PARADIGM's intervention saved Argente's consciousness by binding it to the tower proper, leaving Ultear to steal only an empty shell of Argente's former core. Because they were able to rescue Argente, she was able to review what had transpired, and told the Agents of Ultear mentioning that they'd be sending Erigor (revealing him as their subordinate) to deal with their 'runner', a Kin who had decided to leave their ranks, and that they'd be meeting him in Clover Town to see to the task.

Upon arrival in Clover Town, PARADIGM found no immediate word of 'Kin' nor Erigor, but were able to stumble into a strange ongoing event. Orphans were disappearing in the night from a foster home run by an old woman named Mother Mae. Upon investigation, the agents found that this seemed to be a willing escape on the children's part, both by how they were escaping, and the horrible finding that the foster home was also a labor shop where children far too young were being put to use. All things tied together when PARADIGM staked out to see how the children were fairing in their flight, finding that not only did they have help in running away into the night, but that said help was none other than the runner-Kin, a girl with odd spacial-prowess giving the name Emilia Reika. While she was very willing to speak to the agents, she admitted that their experiments on her had made her 'broken', moreso than any of the others, that the procedure had caused her an extensive case of amnesia. She knew they were experimenting to create an Ultimate Wizard, but didn't know why, and could only share minor insights. At first this seemed to be a dead end, until her assassin Erigor jumped into the fray despite PARADIGM's presence. He seemed possessed by an unnatural rage, attacking Emilia, the agents, and even the children in collateral damage until his ultimate capture.

===Information and Imagination===
With Erigor in hand, PARADIGM had an edge in finding the whereabouts and anticipating the goals of the prior elusive Kin of Grimoire. Despite his prior aggression, Erigor revealed that his induced rage had been from an infusion given to him by Melody under Ultear's orders. Because of this, he willfully gave up all that he knew of the pair and their goals. First, they were heading north to the site of a demon who had once destroyed an entire village but had since been sealed away, and second, revealed that they spoke of a fourth Kin known to him - Rurose, who was on his way to investigate newly discovered ancient ruins said to be from a similar ancient age as the Library of Infinity. Wishing to confront Melody and Ultear with all the information they could, they chose to first chase after Rurose in hopes that handling one Kin would be easier than two, and that he could provide some insights into the intention of the other two.

In finding the man, in contrast of Ultear's criminal behavior, Rurose was an adventurous storyteller and seemed earnestly appalled that his companion's actions turned further and further criminal. He revealed that the Kin were seeking to create their 'Ultimate Wizard' in hopes of countering the return of The Black Wizard Zeref, a figure said to be of myth but the Kin attest to be reality as one who brought an end to the prior age single handedly. He refused to make excuse for Ultear and Melody despite these good intentions, and offered to take PARADIGM to the ruins he was investigating and to freely give up any prize of information on Zeref as an offering of his earnesty. After overcoming several challenges, the involved agents found an ancient tome covered in powerful, though fragmented presence that was disturbing to analyze. PARADIGM had claimed a fragment of Zeref's powers, something claimed to be taboo, and sealed it away in HQ for further investigation.

===Witch and Demon===
From Rurose, PARADIGM learned that Ultear and Melody would not be looking to unseal the demon of the north themselves. Deliora, the demon in question, was said to be from a Book of Zeref, and the fact that the 'unbreakable' seal was breaking itself was a sign that Zeref's return was itself soon coming. Despite this, the agents had little forgiveness for Ultear's prior actions, and confronted her and Melody in the northern ruined town of Freesia at Deliora's location of sealing. The battle was heated with strong emotion when Melody was knocked early and taken from the battle, leaving Ultear in a rage over both Melody's theft and at the untimely intervention when she wished to confront Deliora personally. By the time she was finally subdued, however, this interaction struck a reaction from Melody, whose emotional power snapped over the battlefield, and used the resulting confusion to flee the scene, leaving Ultear to her capture. This snap also awoke Deliora in the midst of his final awakening, causing him to tear forth from what little remained of the spell that had sealed him, leaving PARADIGM to confront the demon alone after Melody's flight and Ultear's capture. After a hard battle, however, they succeeded in putting the demon down, and found his core to be yet another of the strange books similar to the one they had found in the prior ruins explored with Rurose.

==Loose Threads==
At present, PARADIGM still seeks to follow up on the issues below:
*From Erigor, they had also learned that the lacrima he had been stealing and smuggling was being sent towards the shore in what he guessed was a larger transit operation to have it sent to the Kin's base of operations, though he was no privy to the specifics.
*After the incident at the foster home, Mother Mae abandoned her station when the authorities started to investigate her 'workshop' in deeper detail. Strangely, she was seen musing over a business card labeled 'Magic and Misc. Imports' as she took flight, and then took a train southwards. Timing and coincidence suggest she may have been approached by a Kin after the incident, and that this company may well be tied to the former smuggling operation. If true, their intent with Mother Mae is unknown.
*After Argente's core was stolen by Ultear, Argente's conscious itself was tied into the Library of Infinity's magic latticework to prevent being stolen along with the physical core itself. Since then, Argente has been stranded inside the tower without the ability to manifest into a true body, something which PARADIGM is hoping to remedy, though Soaring Heights does not have an immediate solution for.
*Emilia has been taking care of Mother Mae's prior foster children, who have been given temporary shelter at Soaring Height's dormitory at the edge of their hometown. While she initially claimed she was a 'broken' Kin, no investigation has been done to see what that implies or what further insights, if any, might be gathered from her current condition.
*Ultear has now been captured, and is available for whatever interrogation PARADIGM decides is fitting for one of her crimes.
*PARADIGM is presently in possession of two of Zeref's 'Tomes', strange sealed books with an imposing and intimidating aura about them that's recognizable over many supernatural senses - magic, ki, etc., not just magic sense alone.
*In speaking to Rurose, PARADIGM learned decisively that the Kin of Grimoire's true base of operations lays on Magnolia Island. When other lose ends are complete or decided irrelevant, it's on this island that agents will likely find an end to this overarching affair.

==Members==
*'''Melody''' - A fairly quiet girl with an expression that never shifts or shows any emotion, her powers contrast heavily with this, seemingly capable of infusing emotions into others and sharing senses to her opponents like pain inflicted upon her.
*'''Ultear''' - A decisively acting and assured woman, dressed in flowing gypsy attires, she always carries a crystal orb that floats around her, capable of sending it out at opponents as a weapon. Her main talent seems to be manipulation of time, reverting different outcomes around her, such as the existence of spells incoming at her, or objects dropped from her person returning to her (indeed, her control of her crystal ball seems to be similar). It was recently learned that she can't influence people in this manner, at least to any major capacity.
*'''Emilia''' - A perky, if quirky girl, dressed as an elegant dancer, she was met by PARADIGM when she was aiding orphans in escaping bad circumstances at the Mother Mae foster home in Clover Town. Instantly cooperative with the Agents, Emilia revealed herself to be the 'runner' from the group during discussions with them, remembering bits and pieces of her transformation into a member of the Kin, but having a sour taste in her mouth of the affairs she was asked to perform. Few of her powers are known, except that she was seen capable of creating a spacial wall as a barrier, and that she could fade her body mostly out of existence in hiding. She also likes to sing!
*'''Rurose''' - A man seemingly locked into the idea of adventure and story telling, he claims that the Kin used to be less villainous than recent times, and hasn't been shown to take personal part in any of their recent crimes. His powers revolve around those of the imagination, tweaking reality in subtle ways by speaking out suppositions or guesswork of the uncertain and having fate favor those ideas and outcomes in small ways.

[[File:Dallurn_map.jpg|right|border|500px|Map of Dallurn]]
Dallurn is one of the kingdoms located in the realm of Ethion, and is the only kingdom on the planet with connections to '''[[PARADIGM]]'''. Dallurn is located on the westernmost peninsula of the main continent. It is surrounded on three sides by ocean, and has land borders with Selven, with nearby southern neighbor Bosco. Additionally, the kingdom Caelum and Dallurn combine their sea trade routes. At present, Dallurn is a place savoring in general peace with its neighbors, with a population of almost twenty million people.

See '''[[Acalypha]]''' for the main city in Dallurn that PARADIGM has access to.
[[File:Dallurn_symbol.png|left|thumb|Crest of Dallurn]]
==Administration and Government==
It is a state in which the current regime is a monarchy and is ruled by a King, who is the head of the government. Next to the King is the power exercised by the government. The part of the government responsible for the supervision of the Magic and the guilds is the Magic Council. It supervises guilds, including outlawing their activities, has the ability to appoint Wizard Saints, gives official orders and sends complaints to the Guild Masters. The rest of the government is broken up with surprising diversity, ranging from territorial lords to elected mayors, different from town-to-town, though the King remains in full privilege to overrule any local governments. Its capital is a gigantic city by the name of Crocus, and the monetary unit in Dallurn is Jewels.
==Life in Dallurn==
Life in Dallurn (and true to most of the surrounding kingdoms) is a generally pleasant day-to-day with hard working citizens, though trouble could always brew around every corner. Wildlife and monsters can be dangerous in travel, ranging from giant beasts to intelligent Vulcans (prime-ape like monsters with super human strength, sometimes rumored to have magical abilities). On top of this, the distance between settlements across the kingdom can lead to overreach of opportunistic bandits or other groups of greedy or nefarious purpose. For the quality of life, technology and magic have a subtle intermingling. Steam technology has been discovered and is in use (with many train lines connecting spaces across the kingdom), and on top of this, personal vehicles exist in the form of magic cars which use a wielder's mana as fuel, sitting among more simpler engineered counterparts running on fuels. Electricity is not entirely unheard of but fairly sparse in its usage. One of the major impacts on Dallurn (and Ethion as a whole) is its presence of magic, detailed below.

==Wizards in Dallurn==
Magic users on Ethion, generally referred to as 'Wizards', often learn by way of inherent synergies with their personality or body. While it can certainly be trained, the results are both very hit-and-miss between individuals, and also vary greatly. Because of this, a plethora of different magics users exist, from hand-to-hand fighters who wrap their bodies in elements, wielders who use different magics to take on the likeliness of animals or even beasts, individuals who can stow and magically equip varied weapons and armor, or even craft runes that set certain rules in an area of (as a handful of examples). It's also woven its way into the daily lifestyle through items that use mana to activate, such as household appliances or motor vehicles. However, the biggest culmination of impact of Wizards comes in the form of guilds. Guilds have the following traits:
*Guilds always have a name, and a crest. Members of the guild wear the crest somewhere on their bodies like a tattoo, both of pride and proof that they are a member. These are generally difficult to forge.
*Guilds always must have an appointed guild master, who is responsible for answering for the guild to the Magic Council, who oversees all magical affairs in Dallurn.
*Guilds may have public job boards, where clients can post different requests the guild may take up for adventure and reward. Teams for jobs are generally self organized.
*Guilds do not need to separate by rank, except to include the presence of an S-class rank. S-class jobs may at times be posted, which need at least one S-class wizard on the team before lowers may join.

==Notable Locations==
Some locations as per Dallurn's map (to be expanded as relevant)
#'''Crocus''': Capital of Dallurn, sprawling city with a massive arena for the annual games, and the palace proper built up on a rising plateau in the city center. Visible from the city is an endlessly tall tower visible away from the mountains.
#'''Library of Infinity''': Present before even Dallurn's lineage, this massive tower rises out from the ground and into the sky, and houses a massive library within. Few know its origins, and despite many attempts to pillage or claim it, the tower has particular guardians loyal only to the honest pursuit of knowledge that protect its internals.
#'''Oshibana Town''': Notable for being a waypoint of connecting railways across the eastern side of the kingdom.
#'''Balsam Village''': While small, an extremely flashy and oriental looking coastal town known for being a small getaway location.
#'''[[Acalypha]]''': An impressive looking city with sprawling canals and a high energy in the air. Most notable for the fact that it contains the [[Soaring Heights]] guild, which is PARADIGM's prime contact in the world. Well connected to bits of the eastern territory by train.

==Notable Factions in Dallurn==
The factions in Dallurn that PARADIGM has interacted with (good or bad) has limited to date roughly to those below.
*[[Soaring Heights]] - The wizard's guild of Acalypha, the guild being PARADIGM's primary contact and client through its guild master.
*[[Elemental Four]] - A group of four elemental wizards once belonging to a guild known as Phantom Lord. Phantom Lord was disbanded when their guild master was caught in shady crimes.
*[[Astral Tomes]] - Guardians of the Library of Infinity, these ancient astral constructs are housed within and possess access to the tower's defenses and knowledge. It is said their only purpose is to prevent the misuse of knowledge.
*[[Kin of Grimoire]] - An outlaw band of powerful wizards whose spirits have been tied into their magic, creating potent rule-breaking magic. Said to be creating the Ultimate Wizard in an effort to combat The Black Wizard Zeref, the one who ended the last age of man.

= Appearance =
A honed young man with a small frame looking in his early twenties, with smooth texture but slightly disheveled black hair.

= Personality =
Often indecisive in his temperament, Corin's personality is adventurous, but having been raised within royal court, often clashes in annoyance with voices who can't fit or measure to certain moods.

= Background =
Born and raised in Saillune City, Corin was brought up in a royal life under the caring hands of his parents. Despite acquainting himself with the courts and politics of the kingdom, Corin's true guilty pleasure came from the tales of his parent's adventures. Because of this, he trained heavily when he came of age, grasping not only the magics gifted by his birth, but integrating that into his martial training. With a capable set of talents at his command, he spent much of his recent time as a traveling helper across the Kingdom, never shying from dangerous affairs despite his royal station.

==Combat Skills==
'''Pacifist Wrestling:''' Corin is intimately versed in the Saillune family's traditional style of nonviolent violent combat, giving him a finesse in unarmed combat and allows him to improvise wrestling moves on the fly.

'''Shenhale Reactive Style''' 
Passed on from his father, Corin's teachings for all his weapon based melee-combat revolve around pivot points in body and weapon, knowing that a solid parry can be shifted into an active thrust, or an over-extension can be woven into a balanced roll. This general style requires a particular deftness, and become unwieldy under effects like magical slows or similar, forcing Corin to fall back to more mundane motions. His weapon(s) of choice for this style is a longsword and dagger, particularly a sword-breaker.

'''Archery:''' Corin is a passable archer, and uses this to his benefit with Elmekia Shot (see spells).

'''Provoke''': A chance to draw aggro on an enemy with an offensive catcall. Can be used three times in a fight and the effect is about a minute. Characters with a strong will can resist.

==Spells==
'''Celestial Extension - Steed:''' A spell which summons up a magical horse complete with saddle and basic armor. In the absence of its shaper, the creature acts as a normal horse, though cannot be spooked or mislead when ridden by the creator itself. This bond of control only allow Corin to summon one at a time, and it must be 'refreshed' every eight hours to sustain, though the creature itself will not tire. Can comfortably fit two + saddle pouches.

'''Celestial Extension - Eagle:''' A spell which summons up a magical eagle. Unlike its steed counter part, its senses and feedback become directly tied to Corin's guidance, allowing him to see through it and direct it (and he suffers damage done to it, up to its limits). Its intended use is as a scout, though it can be directed to attack in combat (see: as a full action or alongside other minor actions).

'''Astral Purge(Self):''' A spell which wills out one's presence in a small bubble of disruptive astral force, dispelling susceptible magical effects on the caster's immediate person. This could be anything from a debilitating magical effect (Bio), mind influencing magics (though if a mind control or similar prevents him from casting this, it is of no benefit), or something magical directly touching him (entangling magical vines). Because of its nature, this is rarely of benefit to others.

'''Elmekia Shot:''' A spell that manifests a magical bow that charges magic arrows when drawn. The arrows are made of compressed astral energy, and can be fired quickly.

'''White Ribbon:''' A spell that manifests a white mana infused whip-like ribbon (~15ft) that can be willed to sear enemies with holy power on touch (though doesn't have to). When being held as a weapon, its path and strike can be directed through the caster's will, allowing efforts to entangles foes that might be impossible with a mundane whip, but can no longer be willed if the caster physically lets go of the weapon.

=Aether Forms=
Aether forms are Corin's study of magic in which he leverages his Esperian nature to suffuse properties of different elements into his astral body, taking on some of their characteristics and benefits. Technically this could be taught to any sufficiently practiced magi, but his bloodline makes it particularly natural. Some of these forms will also empower his bound sword, Aether's Edge (See unique items), with similar traits or abilities. Shifting out of and between forms is a simple process, but he can only shift into a new form once a round.

As an added effect, the intensity and benefit of Corin's forms can be heightened through suffusing his mana pool (See: Esper of Aeternity).

'''Lightning Arc:''' Corin's body arcs with flickers of lightning, and his hair stands on end, with his eyes gaining a golden tinge. 
''Body effect:'' Corin gains an excess of speed while maintaining this form, able to move and attack and process at a blurring pace. 
''Gained Attack - Monovolt:'' Corin gains the ability to attack with stunning jolts of electricity through his grip or his sword. This is not passive (despite his body sparking with electricity, he is safe to punch).

'''Scales of Earth:''' Corin's body gains fractured cracks along his skin, darkening slightly, and his hair always seems to ruffle dirt like dandruff. 
''Body effect:'' Corin's body hardens considerably, gaining a natural physical defense and a measure of physical strength (in this form, Corin might lift a horse, but not a car). 
''Gained Attack - Dil Quake:'' Upon striking the ground beneath him with hand, foot, or blade, the ground cracks and quakes, causing those unsuspecting to stumble and loose their footing easily while spewing up rubble at them. The range is short, though Corin controls its center, allowing him to catch an enemy without necessarily hindering an ally.

'''Breath of Wind:''' Corin's body is wrapped with a very subtle wash of wind, and his hair billows gently, though visibly. 
''Body effect:'' Corin's body becomes exceptionally light, creating some interesting side effects. This lets him be thrown (either literally by an ally or to retreat from parrying a foe's heavy swing), and allows him to jump high. Its main benefit, however, is that his footfalls become almost entirely inaudible, allowing him to sneak or serve as a passable scout when necessary. 
''Gained Attack - Diem Sweep:'' With a punching fist of slash of his sword, Corin can create a blast of wind to knock a target away, or, cause a small torrent of wind to pull something closer to him.

'''Light of Saillune:''' Corin's body is washed with a calm white light exuding from nowhere. 
''Body effect:'' The light functions as a minor passive Turn Undead effect, forcing such creatures back, deterring their motions, or in case of particularly weak creatures, may outright destroy them. The effect's potency relies entirely on the strength of the undead in question. 
''Gained Attack - Heavenly Wave:'' Corin can charge Aether's Edge with a wash of holy flame of variable strength (scaling with time taken and his current level of infusion) that he unleashes in an arc of attacking energy. Miraculously, Corin can control who this harms and who it doesn't - allies washed in the attack's flame just feel warm.

'''Touch of Silver:''' Corin's body embraces his astral side, causing his hair to shift from black to silver. 
''Body effect:'' Presently none, though Corin believes there is future potential for the form. 
''Gained Attack - Mercy's Edge:'' Aether's Edge shifts from its physical crystalline form to a blade of raw mana, allowing him to attack an opponent's astral side. This allows him to attack a foe's spirit when he desires, allowing non-lethal damage.

= Powers & Merits =
'''Esperian Heritage:''' His bloodline contains the knowledge and power of ancient Espers. This grants him magical insights and affinity, especially in the category of White magics, due to his upbringing in the holy capital of Saillune and his father's natural inclinations. Is particularly sensitive and susceptible to Astral attacks as a result.

'''Esper's Touch:''' Utilizing his natural inclination as an Esper, Corin has a chance (see: GM discretion) whenever he is infused or absorbs magic into his presence, to 'learn' that element to utilize into his own Aether forms. This may also trigger upon Aether's Edge when attacking spells (see Unique Items). This is never a spell copy, but instead generates a form unique to the infusion's 'element'. This process is inconsistent at best, but at times leads to fascinating results. In cases of particularly unique infusions, his new form may only last its duration, with the knowledge lost afterwards. Similarly, experiencing elements in new ways may extend his presently known forms, or manifest them in an entirely new flavor.

'''Astral Sight/Sense:''' Corin is capable of seeing astral beings and constructs. He can also analyze spell flows in detail and sense astral presences around him. This ability has some limitations: When focusing on the astral, Corin becomes effectively blind to the physical realm, and this sight requires his full and undivided attention, meaning that he cannot study things astrally while multitasking. It is also taxing on his stamina to use at great length.

'''Graceful (2):''' You are extremely agile and delicate in your movements. +1 Bonus on all Athletics rolls.

'''Beast Affinity - Horses (1):''' Corin has a knowledgable relationship with horses, having created a spell that mimics one. Horses are unusually drawn to you, and though you can't speak with them, you can communicate with them on a limited level using tone of voice and body language.

= Unique Items =

==Aether's Edge==
A weapon crafted with painstaking effort, this crystalline-looking blade is clearly magic even at a glance. Created by siphoning a piece of Corin's magic essence permanently into a physical form, the blade is incredibly durable and well attuned to his arts, granting the following capabilities.

'''Spell Sundering:''' Aether's Edge is capable of cutting mana, allowing Corin to defend himself by slicing or deflecting incoming spells. Said spells generally must have physical component to break down, as intangible spells tend to shape and adapt around such methods, and the sword (and wielder) can both be overwhelmed by spells too large to slice. Just as with cutting incoming spells, this also makes the sword potent against enemy enchantments that have a physical component, such as a barrier or armor enchantment, but generally does not interact with status effects.

'''Esperian Extension:''' A summary of what's described throughout Corin's other abilities, Aether's Edge is a direct extension of Corin's astral side. This allows it to adapt alongside his Aether Forms to varied effects (see the forms for details), and grants him the possibility of learning new forms through interactions on the blade just as though he were infused of the same via Esper's Touch (ex: cleaving a Shadow Bolt might grant him a shadow form). As with Esper's Touch, any infusion and its reproducibility is at GM's discretion. Because of this interaction, mana transference and spells can also be cast on the blade as though they were cast upon Corin himself - buffs and debuffs alike, no matter the sword's distance from him.

'''Soul Stone: Swordsman Guild''': Athletics +1

= Items Of Note =
'''Sword Breaker:''' A dagger with a large guard and hooked on one side, made for catching enemy weapons.

'''Saillune Royal Crest:''' Grants certain privileges inside the bounds of the Holy Kingdom of Saillune.

'''Ylisstol Mage Guild Tomes:''' One charge each of Fire, Wind, and Thunder.

= Weaknesses & Flaws =
'''Astral Element:''' Due to Corin's partially astral nature, he is particularly susceptible to astral-element attacks, more so than an ordinary human.

'''Esperian Extension:''' Corin's sword, Aether's Edge, is a direct tap into his astral side. If the blade were ever separated from him, foes could use it to tamper with him by placing curses on him or similar. Corin is incapable of purging such things from himself without purging them at their source (the sword) despite the bond.

'''Otherworldly Taint: Mako Eyes''' (2) You have a physical peculiarity (odd hair/eye color, glowing eyes, etc.) and/or just an odd aura about you which may make you stick out. Someone who suspects you're not "normal" may make an Alertness roll, difficulty 7, to determine what you are.

'''Compulsion: Mana Touch''' (1) Because of Corin's study of aether forms and mana suffusion, he has a developed curiosity for experiencing new mana when possible, which can have its complications. He may be called upon for a roll (Diff 6) to avoid this.

*Physical Stats
**Height: 5' 9"

= Appearance =
A honed young man with a small frame looking in his early twenties, with smooth texture but slightly disheveled black hair.

= Personality =
Often indecisive in his temperament, Corin's personality is adventurous, but having been raised within royal court, often clashes in annoyance with voices who can't fit or measure to certain moods.

= Background =
Born and raised in Saillune City, Corin was brought up in a royal life under the caring hands of his parents. Despite acquainting himself with the courts and politics of the kingdom, Corin's true guilty pleasure came from the tales of his parent's adventures. Because of this, he trained heavily when he came of age, grasping not only the magics gifted by his birth, but integrating that into his martial training. With a capable set of talents at his command, he spent much of his recent time as a traveling helper across the Kingdom, never shying from dangerous affairs despite his royal station.

= Special Abilities =
==Combat Skills==
'''Pacifist Wrestling:''' Corin is intimately versed in the Saillune family's traditional style of nonviolent violent combat, giving him a finesse in unarmed combat and allows him to improvise wrestling moves on the fly.

'''Shenhale Reactive Style''' 
Passed on from his father, Corin's teachings for all his weapon based melee-combat revolve around pivot points in body and weapon, knowing that a solid parry can be shifted into an active thrust, or an over-extension can be woven into a balanced roll. This general style requires a particular deftness, and become unwieldy under effects like magical slows or similar, forcing Corin to fall back to more mundane motions. His weapon(s) of choice for this style is a longsword and dagger, particularly a sword-breaker.

'''Archery:''' Corin is a passable archer, and uses this to his benefit with Elmekia Shot (see spells).

'''Provoke''': A chance to draw aggro on an enemy with an offensive catcall. Can be used three times in a fight and the effect is about a minute. Characters with a strong will can resist.

==Spells==
'''Celestial Extension - Steed:''' A spell which summons up a magical horse complete with saddle and basic armor. In the absence of its shaper, the creature acts as a normal horse, though cannot be spooked or mislead when ridden by the creator itself. This bond of control only allow Corin to summon one at a time, and it must be 'refreshed' every eight hours to sustain, though the creature itself will not tire. Can comfortably fit two + saddle pouches.

'''Celestial Extension - Eagle:''' A spell which summons up a magical eagle. Unlike its steed counter part, its senses and feedback become directly tied to Corin's guidance, allowing him to see through it and direct it (and he suffers damage done to it, up to its limits). Its intended use is as a scout, though it can be directed to attack in combat (see: as a full action or alongside other minor actions).

'''Astral Purge(Self):''' A spell which wills out one's presence in a small bubble of disruptive astral force, dispelling susceptible magical effects on the caster's immediate person. This could be anything from a debilitating magical effect (Bio), mind influencing magics (though if a mind control or similar prevents him from casting this, it is of no benefit), or something magical directly touching him (entangling magical vines). Because of its nature, this is rarely of benefit to others.

'''Elmekia Shot:''' A spell that manifests a magical bow that charges magic arrows when drawn. The arrows are made of compressed astral energy, and can be fired quickly.

'''White Ribbon:''' A spell that manifests a white mana infused whip-like ribbon (~15ft) that can be willed to sear enemies with holy power on touch (though doesn't have to). When being held as a weapon, its path and strike can be directed through the caster's will, allowing efforts to entangles foes that might be impossible with a mundane whip, but can no longer be willed if the caster physically lets go of the weapon.

=Aether Forms=
Aether forms are Corin's study of magic in which he leverages his Esperian nature to suffuse properties of different elements into his astral body, taking on some of their characteristics and benefits. Technically this could be taught to any sufficiently practiced magi, but his bloodline makes it particularly natural. Some of these forms will also empower his bound sword, Aether's Edge (See unique items), with similar traits or abilities. Shifting out of and between forms is a simple process, but he can only shift into a new form once a round.

As an added effect, the intensity and benefit of Corin's forms can be heightened through suffusing his mana pool (See: Esper of Aeternity).

'''Lightning Arc:''' Corin's body arcs with flickers of lightning, and his hair stands on end, with his eyes gaining a golden tinge. 
''Body effect:'' Corin gains an excess of speed while maintaining this form, able to move and attack and process at a blurring pace. 
''Gained Attack - Monovolt:'' Corin gains the ability to attack with stunning jolts of electricity through his grip or his sword. This is not passive (despite his body sparking with electricity, he is safe to punch).

'''Scales of Earth:''' Corin's body gains fractured cracks along his skin, darkening slightly, and his hair always seems to ruffle dirt like dandruff. 
''Body effect:'' Corin's body hardens considerably, gaining a natural physical defense and a measure of physical strength (in this form, Corin might lift a horse, but not a car). 
''Gained Attack - Dil Quake:'' Upon striking the ground beneath him with hand, foot, or blade, the ground cracks and quakes, causing those unsuspecting to stumble and loose their footing easily while spewing up rubble at them. The range is short, though Corin controls its center, allowing him to catch an enemy without necessarily hindering an ally.

'''Breath of Wind:''' Corin's body is wrapped with a very subtle wash of wind, and his hair billows gently, though visibly. 
''Body effect:'' Corin's body becomes exceptionally light, creating some interesting side effects. This lets him be thrown (either literally by an ally or to retreat from parrying a foe's heavy swing), and allows him to jump high. Its main benefit, however, is that his footfalls become almost entirely inaudible, allowing him to sneak or serve as a passable scout when necessary. 
''Gained Attack - Diem Sweep:'' With a punching fist of slash of his sword, Corin can create a blast of wind to knock a target away, or, cause a small torrent of wind to pull something closer to him.

'''Light of Saillune:''' Corin's body is washed with a calm white light exuding from nowhere. 
''Body effect:'' The light functions as a minor passive Turn Undead effect, forcing such creatures back, deterring their motions, or in case of particularly weak creatures, may outright destroy them. The effect's potency relies entirely on the strength of the undead in question. 
''Gained Attack - Heavenly Wave:'' Corin can charge Aether's Edge with a wash of holy flame of variable strength (scaling with time taken and his current level of infusion) that he unleashes in an arc of attacking energy. Miraculously, Corin can control who this harms and who it doesn't - allies washed in the attack's flame just feel warm.

'''Touch of Silver:''' Corin's body embraces his astral side, causing his hair to shift from black to silver. 
''Body effect:'' Presently none, though Corin believes there is future potential for the form. 
''Gained Attack - Mercy's Edge:'' Aether's Edge shifts from its physical crystalline form to a blade of raw mana, allowing him to attack an opponent's astral side. This allows him to attack a foe's spirit when he desires, allowing non-lethal damage.

'''Esperian Heritage:''' His bloodline contains the knowledge and power of ancient Espers. This grants him magical insights and affinity, especially in the category of White magics, due to his upbringing in the holy capital of Saillune and his father's natural inclinations. Is particularly sensitive and susceptible to Astral attacks as a result.

'''Esper's Touch:''' Utilizing his natural inclination as an Esper, Corin has a chance (see: GM discretion) whenever he is infused or absorbs magic into his presence, to 'learn' that element to utilize into his own Aether forms. This may also trigger upon Aether's Edge when attacking spells (see Unique Items). This is never a spell copy, but instead generates a form unique to the infusion's 'element'. This process is inconsistent at best, but at times leads to fascinating results.

'''Esperian Extension:''' A summary of what's described throughout Corin's other abilities, Aether's Edge is a direct extension of Corin's astral side. This allows it to adapt alongside his Aether Forms to varied effects (see the forms for details), and grants him the possibility of learning new forms through interactions on the blade just as though he were infused of the same via Esper's Touch (ex: cleaving a Shadow Bolt might grant him a shadow form). As with Esper's Touch, any infusion and its reproducibility is at GM's discretion. Because of this interaction, mana transference and spells can also be cast on the blade as though they were cast upon Corin himself - buffs and debuffs alike, no matter the sword's distance from him.

'''Soul Stone: Swordsman Guild''': Athletics +1

= Items Of Note =
'''Sword Breaker:''' A dagger with a large guard and hooked on one side, made for catching enemy weapons.

'''Saillune Royal Crest:''' Grants certain privileges inside the bounds of the Holy Kingdom of Saillune.

= Weaknesses & Flaws =
'''Astral Element:''' Due to Corin's partially astral nature, he is particularly susceptible to astral-element attacks, more so than an ordinary human.

'''Esperian Extension:''' Corin's sword, Aether's Edge, is a direct tap into his astral side. If the blade were ever separated from him, foes could use it to tamper with him by placing curses on him or similar. Corin is incapable of purging such things from himself without purging them at their source (the sword) despite the bond.

'''Otherworldly Taint: Mako Eyes''' (2) You have a physical peculiarity (odd hair/eye color, glowing eyes, etc.) and/or just an odd aura about you which may make you stick out. Someone who suspects you're not "normal" may make an Alertness roll, difficulty 7, to determine what you are.

'''Compulsion: Mana Touch''' (1) Because of Corin's study of aether forms and mana suffusion, he has a developed curiosity for experiencing new mana when possible, which can have its complications. He may be called upon for a roll (Diff 6) to avoid this.

*Physical Stats
**Height: 5' 9"
**Weight: 174 lbs
**Eyes: Pale Mako Blue
**Hair: Smooth and black

= Appearance =
A honed young man with a small frame looking in his early twenties, with smooth texture but slightly disheveled black hair.

= Personality =
Often indecisive in his temperament, Corin's personality is adventurous, but having been raised within royal court, often clashes in annoyance with voices who can't fit or measure to certain moods.

= Background =
Born and raised in Saillune City, Corin was brought up in a royal life under the caring hands of his parents. Despite acquainting himself with the courts and politics of the kingdom, Corin's true guilty pleasure came from the tales of his parent's adventures. Because of this, he trained heavily when he came of age, grasping not only the magics gifted by his birth, but integrating that into his martial training. With a capable set of talents at his command, he spent much of his recent time as a traveling helper across the Kingdom, never shying from dangerous affairs despite his royal station.

= Special Abilities =
==Combat Skills==
'''Pacifist Wrestling:''' Corin is intimately versed in the Saillune family's traditional style of nonviolent violent combat, giving him a finesse in unarmed combat and allows him to improvise wrestling moves on the fly.

'''Shenhale Reactive Style''' 
Passed on from his father, Corin's teachings for all his weapon based melee-combat revolve around pivot points in body and weapon, knowing that a solid parry can be shifted into an active thrust, or an over-extension can be woven into a balanced roll. This general style requires a particular deftness, and become unwieldy under effects like magical slows or similar, forcing Corin to fall back to more mundane motions. His weapon(s) of choice for this style is a longsword and dagger, particularly a sword-breaker.

'''Archery:''' Corin is a passable archer, and uses this to his benefit with Elmekia Shot (see spells).

==Spells==
'''Celestial Extension - Steed:''' A spell which summons up a magical horse complete with saddle and basic armor. In the absence of its shaper, the creature acts as a normal horse, though cannot be spooked or mislead when ridden by the creator itself. This bond of control only allow Corin to summon one at a time, and it must be 'refreshed' every eight hours to sustain, though the creature itself will not tire. Can comfortably fit two + saddle pouches.

'''Celestial Extension - Eagle:''' A spell which summons up a magical eagle. Unlike its steed counter part, its senses and feedback become directly tied to Corin's guidance, allowing him to see through it and direct it (and he suffers damage done to it, up to its limits). Its intended use is as a scout, though it can be directed to attack in combat (see: as a full action or alongside other minor actions).

'''Astral Purge(Self):''' A spell which wills out one's presence in a small bubble of disruptive astral force, dispelling susceptible magical effects on the caster's immediate person. This could be anything from a debilitating magical effect (Bio), mind influencing magics (though if a mind control or similar prevents him from casting this, it is of no benefit), or something magical directly touching him (entangling magical vines). Because of its nature, this is rarely of benefit to others.

'''Elmekia Shot:''' A spell that manifests a magical bow that charges magic arrows when drawn. The arrows are made of compressed astral energy, and can be fired quickly.

'''White Ribbon:''' A spell that manifests a white mana infused whip-like ribbon (~15ft) that can be willed to sear enemies with holy power on touch (though doesn't have to). When being held as a weapon, its path and strike can be directed through the caster's will, allowing efforts to entangles foes that might be impossible with a mundane whip, but can no longer be willed if the caster physically lets go of the weapon.

=Aether Forms=
Aether forms are Corin's study of magic in which he leverages his Esperian nature to suffuse properties of different elements into his astral body, taking on some of their characteristics and benefits. Technically this could be taught to any sufficiently practiced magi, but his bloodline makes it particularly natural. Some of these forms will also empower his bound sword, Aether's Edge (See unique items), with similar traits or abilities. Shifting out of and between forms is a simple process, but he can only shift into a new form once a round.

As an added effect, the intensity and benefit of Corin's forms can be heightened through suffusing his mana pool (See: Esper of Aeternity).

'''Lightning Arc:''' Corin's body arcs with flickers of lightning, and his hair stands on end, with his eyes gaining a golden tinge. 
''Body effect:'' Corin gains an excess of speed while maintaining this form, able to move and attack and process at a blurring pace. 
''Gained Attack - Monovolt:'' Corin gains the ability to attack with stunning jolts of electricity through his grip or his sword. This is not passive (despite his body sparking with electricity, he is safe to punch).

'''Scales of Earth:''' Corin's body gains fractured cracks along his skin, darkening slightly, and his hair always seems to ruffle dirt like dandruff. 
''Body effect:'' Corin's body hardens considerably, gaining a natural physical defense and a measure of physical strength (in this form, Corin might lift a horse, but not a car). 
''Gained Attack - Dil Quake:'' Upon striking the ground beneath him with hand, foot, or blade, the ground cracks and quakes, causing those unsuspecting to stumble and loose their footing easily while spewing up rubble at them. The range is short, though Corin controls its center, allowing him to catch an enemy without necessarily hindering an ally.

'''Breath of Wind:''' Corin's body is wrapped with a very subtle wash of wind, and his hair billows gently, though visibly. 
''Body effect:'' Corin's body becomes exceptionally light, creating some interesting side effects. This lets him be thrown (either literally by an ally or to retreat from parrying a foe's heavy swing), and allows him to jump high. Its main benefit, however, is that his footfalls become almost entirely inaudible, allowing him to sneak or serve as a passable scout when necessary. 
''Gained Attack - Diem Sweep:'' With a punching fist of slash of his sword, Corin can create a blast of wind to knock a target away, or, cause a small torrent of wind to pull something closer to him.

'''Light of Saillune:''' Corin's body is washed with a calm white light exuding from nowhere. 
''Body effect:'' The light functions as a minor passive Turn Undead effect, forcing such creatures back, deterring their motions, or in case of particularly weak creatures, may outright destroy them. The effect's potency relies entirely on the strength of the undead in question. 
''Gained Attack - Heavenly Wave:'' Corin can charge Aether's Edge with a wash of holy flame of variable strength (scaling with time taken and his current level of infusion) that he unleashes in an arc of attacking energy. Miraculously, Corin can control who this harms and who it doesn't - allies washed in the attack's flame just feel warm.

'''Touch of Silver:''' Corin's body embraces his astral side, causing his hair to shift from black to silver. 
''Body effect:'' Presently none, though Corin believes there is future potential for the form. 
''Gained Attack - Mercy's Edge:'' Aether's Edge shifts from its physical crystalline form to a blade of raw mana, allowing him to attack an opponent's astral side. This allows him to attack a foe's spirit when he desires, allowing non-lethal damage.

= Powers & Merits =
'''Esperian Heritage:''' His bloodline contains the knowledge and power of ancient Espers. This grants him magical insights and affinity, especially in the category of White magics, due to his upbringing in the holy capital of Saillune and his father's natural inclinations. Is particularly sensitive and susceptible to Astral attacks as a result.

'''Esper's Touch:''' Utilizing his natural inclination as an Esper, Corin has a chance (see: GM discretion) whenever he is infused or absorbs magic into his presence, to 'learn' that element to utilize into his own Aether forms. This may also trigger upon Aether's Edge when attacking spells (see Unique Items). This is never a spell copy, but instead generates a form unique to the infusion's 'element'. This process is inconsistent at best, but at times leads to fascinating results. In cases of particularly unique infusions, his new form may only last its duration, with the knowledge lost afterwards. Similarly, experiencing elements in new ways may extend his presently known forms, or manifest them in an entirely new flavor.

'''Astral Sight/Sense:''' Corin is capable of seeing astral beings and constructs. He can also analyze spell flows in detail and sense astral presences around him. This ability has some limitations: When focusing on the astral, Corin becomes effectively blind to the physical realm, and this sight requires his full and undivided attention, meaning that he cannot study things astrally while multitasking. It is also taxing on his stamina to use at great length.

'''Graceful (2):''' You are extremely agile and delicate in your movements. +1 Bonus on all Athletics rolls.

'''Beast Affinity - Horses (1):''' Corin has a knowledgable relationship with horses, having created a spell that mimics one. Horses are unusually drawn to you, and though you can't speak with them, you can communicate with them on a limited level using tone of voice and body language.

= Unique Items =

==Aether's Edge==
A weapon crafted with painstaking effort, this crystalline-looking blade is clearly magic even at a glance. Created by siphoning a piece of Corin's magic essence permanently into a physical form, the blade is incredibly durable and well attuned to his arts, granting the following capabilities.

'''Spell Sundering:''' Aether's Edge is capable of cutting mana, allowing Corin to defend himself by slicing or deflecting incoming spells. Said spells generally must have physical component to break down, as intangible spells tend to shape and adapt around such methods, and the sword (and wielder) can both be overwhelmed by spells too large to slice. Just as with cutting incoming spells, this also makes the sword potent against enemy enchantments that have a physical component, such as a barrier or armor enchantment, but generally does not interact with status effects.

'''Esperian Extension:''' A summary of what's described throughout Corin's other abilities, Aether's Edge is a direct extension of Corin's astral side.
