Jason Doyle
Fury of the Celestial Pact, Chosen of the Brass Dragonflight, Hero of the Dragonwake
Jason was born into a wealthy Norstiri family with an ancestry steeped in magic. Most of his family members were some degree of spellcaster, all at varying skill-levels. Jason had inherited a natural affinity to the arcane, and even managed to complete his first ritual at a young age. He was hailed as a prodigy and was given far more praise and adoration than his little brother, Jackson, who grew to resent him for it as he never inherited the same gift.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Jason is quick and agile, though not especially strong or weak. He is far more built in his legs and chest, but his arms aren't very well-defined. He is far from scrawny and is very physically resilient by mage standards.
Body Features
While not necessarily incredibly handsome, Jason has many classically attractive features - traits like his jawline and high cheekbones - which he likes to constantly remind others with "thoughtful" hand gestures. Pale white, but with a yellow tinge from his high elven ancestry.
Facial Features
Though still somewhat young compared to other half-elves, wrinkles have begun to form around his eyes and forehead. Other than that, he is in his prime. His ears, chin, and nose are all quite pointed due to his elven heritage.
Identifying Characteristics
His yellow tinged skin, jet black hair, and sharp facial structure.
Physical quirks
He has a naturally stealthy way of walking as if trying to soften his footsteps even in the public in broad daylight. He even runs in a way that makes him appear to be moving steathily.
Special abilities
Jason is a Sorcerer of the Arcane Heir bloodline. Furthermore, Jason has received the blessing of the Rainbow Serpent (Hatucan The-First-and-the-Last), which has increased his physical resilience and stamina to the point of being on par with most warriors. He has also recently gained the blessing of the Brass Dragonflight in the form of the Brass Dragonwake Mark, which gave him a polyglottic ability to speak with most creatures. Additionally, for being present and participating in the return of all dragonkind he was given the Dragonwake Blessing by the ten prime dragonflights which unlocked some of his arcane potential, and his trip to Abin-jur granted him advanced knowledge in the form of the Gift of the Aeons.
Apparel & Accessories
For one who prides himself on his physical appearance, Jason doesn't have much fashion sense. He mostly wears a dark, hooded robe and doesn't accessorize.
Specialized Equipment
Jason carries the tooth of a wyvern, fossilized in amber. He uses his family heirloom as his arcane spellcasting focus. He also carries a Ring of Mind Shielding as one of his most prized possessions.
Mental characteristics
Gender Identity
Cisgendered male (prefers he/him/his)
Sexuality

Education
Both Jason and his brother Jackson were sent to the same school of magic to study the arcane arts. A great deal of pressure was put on both of them to excel, especially Jason, who often felt overwhelmed by the workload and high expectations. Jason could never study well, as he found that overthinking his magic often led to him messing up even the simplest of spells. In order for his magic to work, it had to be channeled naturally utilizing his feelings rather than rational, academic examination. Eventually, he realized he couldn't take the high expectations placed on him, prompting him to drop out of the academy.
Employment
Jason has frequently moved around from job to job. He rarely keeps a single employer for long. He decided to live the free life of a criminal; looting, stealing, and doing whatever suited him for most of his life. Most would view this as a fall from grace, but to Jason this was freedom. The ability to go anywhere and do anything without restriction was the purest form of liberty - even if it was at others' expense. He is currently a member of the Furies, an elite squad of auxiliaries employed by the leadership of the Keldani Celestial Pact Land. He views this as an opportunity to prove he is capable of achieving greatness on his own terms.
Accomplishments & Achievements
Most of Jason's personal achievements are done in the name of fueling his adventurous and free spirit. He does seemingly act out of selflessness from time to time, but usually only to stroke his own ego when others treat him as a hero. His most impressive achievements are: guiding the Scion of Enassar Zaphicath - the Brass Wyrmling dragon Immyryn Otess Geval "The Rockhearted" - through the Time Wastes of Abin-jur so that she could play a part in restoring the draconic bloodlines of Armea, banishing a Herald of Darkness and Fear (a Devil Lord) from the lands of Ilora, and stopping the Infernal Pact Land from opening a War Gate in the Celestial Pact Land by stealing a Cornugon's gigantic spiked chain from out of its hands. Before joining the Furies, his achievements were usually limited to far less noble and legal exploits.
Failures & Embarrassments
While notably talented in the magical arts, Jason often feels like he has disappointed his family by neglecting his personal responsibilities and education. He also feels he has brought his family shame by dropping out and acting dishonestly, selfishly, and sinfully ever since. He doesn't regret leaving behind a superficial lifestyle full of political backstabbing, false friendships, and snooty wizards, but he often feels like he could have achieved more by sticking to his studies. Jason feels like his family resents him, especially his younger brother Jackson, for whom he always wanted to serve as a role model. Instead, he's eyed with envy for his talents, and disgust for squandering them on crime, debauchery, and other petty self-indulgences. He is also easily intimidated by strong authority figures, although he tries to hide it with deceptive agreeableness, often to a humorous extent.
Mental Trauma
Jason was recently subjected to a few events that plague him with nightmares, the first of which was his very personal encounter with a Herald of Darkness and Fear. The Furies asked him to use a scrying divination to observe it for strategic reasons, and before he stopped to consider the real ramifications he offered to drink a potion that would give him the ability to scry on it for an entire hour - but he wouldn't be able to stop the spell early. Thus, he was forced to stare at and/or listen to the beguiling, beautiful, highly corrupting devil lord from extremely close range, and it spent the entire hour attempting to entice him to cut a deal for its freedom. Jason considers himself a debaucherous, lusty, whimsical man, but when confronted with something so dangerous and so ready to take him up on his own desires he spent most of the hour (and the days afterward) an emotional wreck. It's likely this event will stick with him for a long time. Additionally, when assisting Immyryn the Rockhearted with her Time Gate Quest, Jason was among the first individuals in nearly a millennium to feel true dragonfear, as well as witness the near-corruption of the Brass dragon by a strange entity from beyond his own dimension.
Morality & Philosophy
Jason isn't a very morally upstanding person. He has his limits and won't go out of his way to cause purposeful harm, but an impulsive, lecherous thief is far from the ideal citizen. Despite being a rogue, Jason never steals from his friends nor crosses his allies. Regarding his philosophy, he tries to avoid self-reflection as he knows he has done many wrong things. The core value that drives him is freedom - specifically his own freedom - which he values more than all the fame, money, and power that he covets.
Taboos
Jason can become scared or nervous when he believes his freedom is in danger - more than his life, which he risks all the time in reckless pursuits of wealth and power. His greatest fear is being controlled or restrained, and he is somewhat averse to harsh criticism as it hurts his ego. He would never admit it, but he fears his own inadequacy.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Freedom first, money and glory second. He wishes to become well-known for his magical aptitude so he can return to his family in Norstir and "prove he is more than a handsome ne'er do well."
Savvies & Ineptitudes
Jason is a very nimble person, good at sneaking and escapism. He enjoys putting on a show occasionally and is a decent singer. Anything that gets him praise is worth doing, in his eyes.
Likes & Dislikes
In his free time, Jason likes to practice his magic. He has always been fascinated by magic, just not enough to read a book on it. He sometimes meditates or practices casting rituals as a means of understanding magic in his own way. He would quickly lose interest if someone else tried to show him these things, as he's easily distracted. He enjoys playing games in his free time, especially if he's good at them and likely to win.
Virtues & Personality perks
"Virtue" isn't something Jason has in abundance, but many find him easy to get along with as he rarely challenges other peoples' intuition. He lets others go their way so long as they let him go his, and he understands the value of personal freedom. He isn't judgmental, as he knows that he isn't in any good standing to judge others' actions. Jason isn't very smart, and his wild, adventurous nature gives him an aura of being naive, which others might find charming.
Vices & Personality flaws
Jason's biggest flaw is his ego. He thinks very highly of himself and often gives himself too much credit for his accomplishments. He often acts out of selfishness and greed and loves to push the limits of social boundaries. He almost never admits fault, even when he clearly has made a mistake, instead opting to act like he had everything under control the whole time. He lies constantly to cover up mistakes and wrongdoings.
Personality Quirks
He has a quirky and awkward way of carrying himself - as if trying to be sneaky all the time - but nothing overly specific.
Hygiene
Jason likes to look good, but can sometimes go several days without grooming himself. His robe is sometimes ragged and his hair messy, but when he wants to impress he cleans up very well.
Social
Contacts & Relations
Jason has cut ties with almost everyone from his younger life, save for a few criminal contacts he has gone on heists with over the years. Even so, his rare dealings with these old cohorts never extend beyond a business transaction or other dealing. Currently, Jason has a direct friendship with the Spectral Revolution, leaders of the Celestial Pact Land, and most of its faction agents - including the Furies (of which he is a member).
Family Ties
Jason has a mother, a father, and a younger brother. All of his family are still alive, but Jason doesn't dare face them until he has proven himself. Unbeknownst to him, his brother Jackson has been searching for him, and plans to show Jason just how much he's learned about magic.
Religious Views
Jason fights for celestials and has fought devils, demons, and even a few other celestials. He has seen a baby dragon be born in an ancient sanctum, and stood in the presence of immortal beings - both heavenly and infernal. Suffice to say, even Jason isn't foolish enough to deny the existence of the Gods in the world. But he doesn't choose to devote himself to any single teaching or deity, preferring instead to play a longer game by serving himself.
Social Aptitude
He is very persuasive, egotistical, suave, and charming, but is also a practiced liar who kowtows quickly to authority.
Mannerisms
Jason likes to embellish his speech with flowery phrases and exaggerate details to make an idea seem more or less appealing.
Hobbies & Pets
No hobbies to speak of other than drunken debauchery.
Speech
Jason speaks with an accent (he usually mispronounces "Y" in words), and tends to ramble, often talking over himself at length.
Wealth & Financial state
Jason was born into wealth, and never lost his spoiled, rich kid attitude. His family wasn't overly influential or famous, but they had connections and plenty of access to magic, and people who dabbled in it. Jason was spoiled by this lifestyle and it caused him to become immature and irresponsible. Jason wants to return to his hometown a success. He wants his family and peers to see him not as a bum, failure, or dropout - but as a talented man with a different approach to the traditional ways of magic. He plans to go back once he's accumulated 20,000 gold and at least one noteworthy title/honor/award. He plans to earn these things by fighting alongside the Furies, and doing some criminal work on the side. Though when he returns home, he plans on omitting some of the more unsavory details from his rise to glory.
