Edward Travers

[Edward Travers]

Name: Edward Travers
DOB: 484AV (26 years old)
Physical Description:
Edward is of medium height and build. Standing at around 5’8 and 160lbs, he isn’t thin, but not overweight either. He has more muscle than your average magic user because of his somewhat harsh upbringing as a working man and a member of the wonderful society of Sunberth, but he doesn’t have as much as a warrior. Animation, requires physical work more than any other school of magic, and this is shown in Edward’s physique. Edward has a singed black beard and unkempt, shoulder-length hair.
Character Concept:
Edward has always said that magic is there to work for the people. It wasn’t magic that destroyed the Mizahar during the Valterian, and it isn’t out to destroy everyone today. It is there to help the world as a whole and Edward embraces it. It is no wonder then, that he gravitated towards Animation. Edward is quick to anger when provoked, but he has almost unlimited patience. He will keep doing something, whether an animation or revenge, for as long as he needs to until he succeeds.
History:
Edward was born in Sunberth to a regular mother and a regular father. For Sunberth. So his father was a mobster and his mother was a member of Braga’s House of Happy Endings. His mother abandoned him as soon as she had him and gave him to the Orphange at Sunset Quarters. His father, of course, didn’t even come to see him be born. After his less than happy birth, though, he was reasonable happy. The Orphange was probably the safest part of the city and Ed learned very early that it didn’t pay to move outside the compound. He didn’t till he was almost 17 and he could fend for himself with his crossbow. That’s when he came. Jroshik. The traveling wizard. Ed never learnt why he came to Sunberth, only that he had. Ed was 19 when he met Jroshik in the back alleys, when he watched five muggers attack him at the same time. Jroshik hadn’t even moved, instead a figure had move out of his shadow and attack them. It had knocked out 4 of them before the last one could react. He had attacked out randomly with his battlehammer, seeming not to know where he was aiming. He had somehow hit the figure and there was a dull thump, as if the hammer had hit something metal before the figure had taken him out too. Ed approached Jroshik wide-eyed and the figure had immediately attacked him too. With a word from the old, white bearded magician, the figure stopped and clattered to the floor like a heavy metal doll. Ed then knew that he needed to learn animation from this man. Ed begged Jroshik to teach him for almost an entire year. He followed the old man all throughout the world, begging and begging. Finally, annoyed and impressed by his patience, Jroshik agreed to teach him. During the one year, Ed had already picked up a little animation and even more metal working. For the next 6 years, Jroshik took Ed on as his apprentice. They went back to Sunberth, as magic was more relatively accepted than most other cities in Sylira. When Ed was 26, he had graduated from Jroshik’s tutelage. Jroshik was already quite a rich person, as he was a master of metal working, amongst other magics, so he provided Ed with a house and a small amount of coin as well.
