Name: Steven Michael McCain
Occupation: Apprentice/Unknown
Nationality: American
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 140 lb
Age: 20
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Hazel
Appearance:
Aside from his weapons, this is how Steven looks. The only other additions are a gunholster on his left side and a black sword sheath on his right side.
Personality:
Steven is for someone of his age a little bit naieve. He has a kind aura about him that easily makes friends with him, but he is too trusting of people. A break in that trust for him will shun that person for a long time, resenting what he did. Steven has a strong sense of what is right and wrong, and a sweet kindness.
However, in battle he is focused, intent on protecting himself and those he cares for. A strange duality of his, it isn't sure if its a part of his personality, or a second separate personality unknown to him. No matter though, in the end he still retains who he is, even if the sight of blood makes him nauseous in the end.
History:
Born in New York City, Steven grew up the life of an ordinary city boy. His parents weren't reserved in the way of magic or anything, so when he described a burning sensation in his hands at the age of 10, he was checked medically. Finding nothing wrong, life progressed normally. Later, while doing his homework and becoming increasingly frustrated as he wrote with his pencil, the pencil suddenly snapped in half, the top half flying across the room and embedding itself into the wall with increased intensity. Startled, Steven felt himself suddenly weakened and passed out.
Awakening, he found he could use a form of magic enhancement to his own body, but at the cost of being extremely out of breath and weakened. Without any formal training or help, Steven trained his body as he grew up physically to at least compensate for this new power incase he should have to call upon it as a last resort.
As he grew up, the streets became rougher in the neighborhood, as he privately learned how to handle a gun. His father taught him on the roof of their apartment complex, guiding Steven how to load a clip, to keep track of the bullets fired, and how to aim. Favoring the Beretta 92FS, he left New York City once he was old enough, wanting to explore the world and . Eventually, Steven purchased a Wakizashi to help live on his own as well as to protect himself. It also served as a stopgap, doubting what his abilities could do to him. He lived on his own for two years primarily in the woods of New Jersey, walking and traveling from town to town, before crossing over to New Jersey. Travelling into a town in Pennsylvania, the local bank was being held up. At first undecisive, he started to walk away till he heard the gunshots. His morals taking over and something darker, he fired his first shot at another living creature, ending the robber's life.
Dropping the gun at the realization at what he did, the other robbed took sadistic pleasure in preparing to finish the would-be hero slowly in front of these people. At which point, a survival instinct kicked in inside, Steven unaware of what he was really doing as one arm was enchanted with increased strength as he punched the second man, before fainting. The sudden use of magic caught the attention of the Arcane Academy, especially in front of so many people. While passed out, Steven was taken away suddenly to the floating isle. Awakening, he was given the option to have his talents trained, at which he readily accepted.
Style: Steven uses primarily Enchantment with limited use of elementalism, specifically with fire and ice. Aside from his own weapons, he can't go beyond manipulating the elements in any other way really. The form of using his enchantments is voluntary through thought or involuntary with emotional distress being the primary trigger. It's possible to enhance other weapons or items, but the guarantee of sucees is much lower in his untrained state.
Strengths: Proficient in sword combat and ranged combat with handgun firearms. Steven has some training in hand-to-hand combat, but it is more street fighting than anything else. His training with firearms allow him to fire with a slight increase in accuracy above the norm, able to handle the recoil better as well. The sword training is more self-taught, focusing on balance with and without his firearm.
Weaknesses: Steven passes out at the sight of blood after battle. The use of enchantment on his body drains his stamina heavily, and durability of his body against pure magical attacks is a little lower than average. Only one part can be enchanted on his body, while both weapons can be enchanted simultaneously.
Spell List:
-Name: Sharpening
Description: The name is exactly what it does, the weapon in hand is sharpened to the point where it cuts at the molecule level. However due to the hastiness, the weapon is more suspectible to damage with continuous contact on anywhere else aside from the blade.
-Name: Shell
Description: Essentially, this toughens the weapon to survive against increased blows against weapons, survivng for twice as long. This may however increase the weight and throw off the balance.
-Name: Heat Enchantment
Description: The weapon is heated up to give it the properties of the fire element, and adopts the properties.
-Name: Cool Enchantment
Description: The opposite of the heat enchantment, the weapon is instead cooled down to an ice/water element, adopting all of its properties.
-Name: Strength Enchantment
Description: The muscles become stronger and allows a body part to become much stronger than initially. This drains the body however harshly in its unrefined state, and forces the user to pass out. Emergency use only!
-Name: Speed Enchantment
Description: The body moves much faster than normal, boosting agility, however just like the strength enchantment, it too drains too much of the user in its unrefined state, and the same result happens. Emergency use only!
