Name: Kit Laquatus
Occupation: Apprentice Ink Mage
Nationality: English
Height: 5’ 7”
Weight: 135 lbs
Age: 17
Hair Color: Purple (due to mana pollution)
Eye Color: Purple (due to mana pollution)
Appearance:
Personality: Kit is a rather shy and quiet boy. His reservations do not come from his odd appearance; no in fact he’s actually quite comfortable with his catlike features. He is just a generally quiet and reserved boy. However there is a part of him that yearns to be more socially active and with the right people he can actually be quite energetic and even wild.
History: There are many magical communities all around the world. Not all of them are floating islands like Babylos and not all of them are as fortunate to have powerful Archmages guide their creation. One of these magical communities was the shielded community of Avarean. This magical community was set up in England by a group of mages that wanted to keep their abilities secret out of fear of persecution. However the city was not as intricately planned for as larger cities like Babylos. The city had a rudimentary shield system that kept it hidden.
However the spells that kept the shield in place were far more effective than any of the mages who had crafted them expected. The shield actually kept mana trapped inside the city. Normally when a spell is cast the mana used to cast it dissipates. Due to the shielding used to keep the city invisible and unknown to the non-magical world, mana could not dissipate like it naturally does. This caused a build-up of mana that started having strange effects on the people living in Avarean. The phenomenon would come to be labeled as mana pollution
The product of one of these strange after effects was a child born not long after
the mana pollution problem was discovered. The boy, Kit Laquatus, was born with cat ears and a tail. However he was not the only one of his kind, all over the city children were being born with animal-like qualities. An entire generation of children was born with animal-like qualities. Luckily for the boy this ensured that he would not grow up feeling awkward about his unique appearance.
The boy would grow up feeling awkward and alone as another side effect of the mana pollution was a disease that was rare but effected only magical beings. His parents were among the first victims of this disease. It feeds on the mana of the victim eventually draining them of all their mana which of course results in death. At the age of 2 he was sent to an orphanage after his parents’ lives were claimed by the disease. Kit was always a quiet boy, the people who ran the orphanage had lots of children to deal with so he learned to just keep quiet and be in the background so as not to anger them.
After several years in the orphanage, nobody had adopted the boy. He was too quiet and too reserved, his quiet nature unnerved many of the potential stepparents that came to see him. Soon though the boy grew too old to live in the orphanage anymore. Without any home to go to, the orphanage sent him to Babylos to study at the Arcane Academy. So begins the new life of Kit Laquatus…..
Style
Ink Magic- Kit is an artist who uses a mana-infused paintbrush to draw things and bring them to life. His paintings aren’t actually living beings unless he grants them the ability to live. If he doesn’t grant them life than once they return to the paper from which they were spawned they are nothing but ink. A select few drawings he has allowed life and they live on in his consciousness but can only be brought into the physical world if Kit draws them.
Strengths: Due to the fact that the only thing that limits Kit’s spell casting abilities is his inexperience and creativity he can grow to become a very well-rounded mage. The freeform style of spell casting that he uses allows him to adopt a new strategy and keep on his toes, reacting and changing to deal with every challenge that comes up.
Weaknesses: Kit is a rather weak boy physically. He isn’t much of a fighter and has never really needed any sort of fighting skills. Kit is completely untrained in the art of hand-to-hand combat and relies solely on his magical abilities. His main weakness is his over dependence on his magical abilities
Spell List:
Spells
Fireball- Kit sketches a ball of fire, which is then projected from the page it is drawn on towards his enemy.
Waterball- Kit sketches a ball of water, which is then projected from the page it is drawn on towards his enemy.
Blinding Ink- Kit fires a ball of his ink at an opponent and the ink, laced with mana, can blind an opponent for a small amount of time

Shielding Ink- Kit draws a square in the air with his pen, it solidifies and thickens shielding him from any sort of projectile attack.
Armor of Ink- Kit sketches a suit of light but tough armor, which then transposes itself onto his body.
Summon Lilith- Kit’s personal summon, my quickly sketching her he can summon her into existence. The only of his drawings so far that he has given life (explained more in the summon section).

Claws- He is able to lengthen the nails on his hands into claws resembling those of a tiger
Agility- Kit can move very fluidly and in a feline manner when he chooses. He usually has to tap into this ability rather than it coming instinctively

Name: Lilith
Age: Unknown
Nationality: Vampire
Personality: Lilith is the female opposite of Kit. She’s energetic, outgoing and flirtatious. She enjoys teasing Kit and getting him flustered but deep down she cares for the boy and is very protective of him. Lilith is always willing to give Kit advice and often talks him into doing this her way.
History: Lilith doesn’t actually remember what her true name is anymore. Once she
was a vampire but then, physically, she was killed by a group of vampire hunters. However \as a punishment for feasting on their loved ones Lilith’s spirit was bound to a statue and left there to suffer in anguish between death and life for the rest of eternity. Lilith’s spirit cried out for release everyday but there was never a mind that could pick up her anguished pleas. One day, while wandering the countryside, Kit stumbled upon the ruins of an old castle. Naturally he decided to investigate, being part cat his curiosity usually got the better of him. Upon entering what was once the courtyard of the castle, he noticed a statue; he touched it and a shockwave of magic shot through his body. An image appeared in his mind of a beautiful young woman and he felt compelled to sketch her. Once he did her image came to life because of his abilities and she finally found the voice she needed to explain her plight. Kit took pity on her but explained he did not have the ability to release her spirit but he could give her life once again. He used his ability to bring his drawing to life and gave her life once again. He decided to name her Lilith after the mythological mother of all vampires. Lilith has been bonded to Kit ever since and acts as sort of guardian for him.
Spells/Abilities
Black Fire- Lilith is able to project a ball of black fire, which burns a considerable deal hotter than normal fire
Hypnotic Gaze- Lilith can look into the eyes of a victim and lull them into a mild hypnosis usually this means she can influence a persons actions but it is not strong enough to allow her to directly control a persons actions
Vampiric Touch- Lilith can siphon some energy from a victim through mere touch due to her bond with Kit she can transfer that energy to him.
