Mental characteristics

Personal history

Antonio Mirelli was born in Truso as a child of a prostitute and an unknown man. His mother tried to raise him, but as he was growing older it was becoming more and more difficult. Owner of the brothel Antonio's mother worked in made her an ultimatum. She had to give up the child or leave the brothel. She decided to give Antonio to a craftsman's family so he can get enough care and learn a job. She was visiting him regularly. Unfortunately, Antonio's mother died a year later, killed by an aggressive client. The craftsman allowed Antonio to stay, but he had to work and earn the bed and food.
When Antonio was 14 years old he was attacked by a group of bullies who tried to steal the money he earned. They were beating and kicking him and Antonio got angry. He felt a surge of energy in his body. It gave him strength to get up and push one of the bullies. In that moment a strong wind went out of his hands and the bully flew a few meters away. The rest panicked and ran away. Antonio knew what the situation meant. He had magic. However, he decided not to do anything about it because he had no money for a magical education.
A few days after the incident a wizard arrived at the craftsman's house and asked to speak with Antonio. That wizard was an emissary from the local College of Nature and said that they know about what happened and want to offer Antonio a chance to take the entrance exam to the college. Colleges of Nature are the only magic schools which provide free education. Antonio agreed. For the next year he was studying hard for the exam. He believed that the College of Nature would be his gate to a better life. Antonio passed the exam with flying colours and got into the College.
On the Apprentice level Antonio was tought by a master named Paolo Scavi. Master Scavi was also a member of a secret society known as the Illusive Order, an association of Nature Drifters involved in shady activities. Paolo Scavi introduced Antonio to it. Since then Antonio has been working as an assassin for hire. Antonio quickly became one of the best assassins in the world.

Morality & Philosophy

Years of hard life and the mindset of the Illusive Order made Antonio believe that there is no good or bad. There are only beings which act in the world. According to him killing a person can be good or bad depending on things like the person who was killed and what were the consequences of their death.

Very cool article! I do have a few comments/pointers to mention:   1 - Try adding an additional line break between your paragraphs. The additional separation makes larger blocks of text easier to read without losing track of the paragraph. I'd also suggest including some quotes within the body of the text as it's generally a good way to add interest for the reader's eye to follow.   2 - "She was visiting him regularly." Your tense here is a little strange. You should probably phrase it more like "She visited him regularly" as a more standard past tense.   3 - "Unfortunately, Antonio's mother died a year later. She was killed by an aggressive client." You make use of a lot of shorter sentences, generally considered simple sentences. This instance is one that I felt would be best to point out as I could see an easier way to lengthen your sentences: "Unfortunately, Antonio's mother died a year later, killed by an aggressive client"   4 - I'd like to hear more about what kind of jobs Antonio worked after becoming an assassin as, presently, your article only brings the reader up to that point.   Overall, it was a very interesting article and has a lot of potential if you expand upon the character a little more. Glad I got a chance to read it.
