Raven Gael
Winter General
Backstory
As the oldest son of the Gael Family and thus next in line to be Head of the Family, Raven has led a hard early life, being expected to maintain the “Behaviour expected of the next Lord Gael”. This has led to him not socialising with other kids his age, thus developing some odd personality quirks, such as his love for dissection, probably not helped by his Origin and his innate Mystic Eyes of Hypnotism, which allowed him to easily capture and dissect the various animals that wandered into the family property. His love for dissection even took him to cutting off his own right arm, cutting it open to examine it and replacing it with a fake, metal version that now acts as one of his Mystic Codes. This has led him into delving into Runecraft and Puppeteering to maintain and upgrade his arm. He soon took to being a Bounty Hunter, hunting down various things from Magi to Phantasmals to even Dead Apostles when they came up, making a name for himself as the Winter General or the Frost Emperor or, more recently, the Frozen Alchemist. After the death of his parents during a job for the Clock Tower, he was left to care for his siblings, a task made all the harder by his recent partial loss of motor control over his left leg, leading to him retiring from the Bounty Hunting business. This led to him leaving most of the day-to-day business to his younger sister Priscilla, who still got him to do all the paperwork. While he is Lord Gael, he doesn’t like being called that and vehemently tries to keep this information secret. This has led to the misconception that Priscilla is actually the head of the Gael Family. He later managed to mend relations with the Clocktower, becoming a part-time Alchemy Teacher there. He currently ranks as a Law in the Magus Association. During his days as a Magus Killer he was also known as the Crimson Lotus Alchemist due to how bloody he would get after jobs due to his flame and explosion alchemies, though the nickname of Frost Emperor came not soon after when he used The Frost Emperor Spell to turn a village of Dead Apostles into a frozen icicle. While the existence of the Philosopher’s Stone is a secret, rumors about it have spread around the Moonlit World, though no proof of its existence has ever been found due to the various measures undertaken to hide it.Magus Abilities

Magecrafts
Gael Magic Crest
The Gael Magic Crest contains their knowledge on Alchemy, Flash Air, Memory Partition, Thought Acceleration, Formalcraft, Healing Magecraft, Curses and Bounded Fields. Sorcery Trait: Heat Thief The Sorcery Trait of the Gael Family, a family of Ice Alchemists, it follows the process of Equivalent Exchange, allowing them to exchange the heat values of specific areas, allowing them to alter the temperature of two areas by transfering heat from one area to another, allowing him to easily freeze one area and cause another to combust. This Sorcery Trait has seemingly no limits as to how many areas he can influence so long as he is consciously aware of them, much like Flash Air. He can also affect objects instead of areas, transfering heat from his own body to the air around himself or transfering heat from the air to a victim suffering from hypothermia.Mystic Eyes of Hypnotism
A strange set of Mystic Eyes that allow Raven to forcibly implant thoughts and ideas into the mind of those with little to no mental resistance or with lower Mana then him. Usually these thoughts and experiences meld as seamlessly as possible with the memories of the target, making them believe they are doing things of their own accord. While the ability requires the eyes to be activated, they do not require eye contact, simply that he has sight of his target. Should they meet all the previous criterias, they will fall under his immediate control until either he releases them or an external factor releases them or stops him from using his Mystic Eyes, though already established suggestions and ideas stay until they are unraveled or removed through other means. Curiously, they also turn his eyes red when in use.Origin [Reconstruction]
As his Origin, it gives him an incredible knack for Alchemy, allowing him to perform better in this field of Magecraft and boosting all of his Alchemy Magecraft. It also helps his Reinforcement and Structural Analysis when dealing with materials he is familiar with. This knack and boosting effect is also passed on to Healing Magecraft, though to a much lesser extent, though it does give him the aptitudes to be a Spiritual Doctor. While his Origin did somewhat take control of him in his youth, he has gained some measure of control over his behavior, though he still has a compulsive need to take things apart and put them back together.General Magecraft [B+]
As both the heir to a 9th Generation Clan and a skilled Mage himself, being a “First Rate Magus”, though much of his Skills and the time it took to get them stunted his childhood and left him with a large case of Social Awkwardness.Zetsu [C]
Not a Magecraft by itself but the Familiar resulting from research made by himself and his ancestors. A spin on the Mandrake Familiar used by the alchemists of old, these Familiars take the form of white men with no defining features with the ability to Shapeshift their bodies to a certain extent, due to their origins as plants. They are also able to “swim” through the ground through the usage of their Innate Magecraft, which makes them perfect for usage as spies, though their combat capabilities are inferior to that of a regular human and they are incapable of using Magecraft other than their innate earthen movement ability.Ice Magecraft [A]
His Element, a combination of Water and Wind Element, he is able to use all three with great skill, though Ice will always be his better Element. He is able to manifest, control and manipulate his Ice along with most naturally occurring ice after flooding it with his Mana.Alchemy [A]
His main subject of study as it pairs well with his Origin of [Reconstruction]. He is also quite good at the creation of Homunculus, Golems and other such things, as his Origin greatly helps him with this. His Alchemy generally relies on Spell Circles which are used in conjunction with Incantation to activate their effects, though he does have many different Spells to his disposal. He is also able to use Flash Air due to his family making use of it for various purposes over the years, allowing him to master the spell despite it being in the Magic Crest. He can also perform his Flame and Explosion Alchemy even without his Mystic Code rings, though doing so requires a bit more time or the impromptu creation of another medium upon which he has to inscribe the Transmutation Circle.Spiritual Healing/Healing Magecraft [B]
His Origin allows him to be proficient with Healing Magecraft, as does his specialisation with Alchemy allowing him knowledge of most bodily functions. He is adept at performing Spiritual Surgery but nothing too big.Runecraft [B]
While not a Master of the craft, he is fully capable of using Ansuz, Sowilo, Kenaz, Isa and Ihwaz with modest skill. While he is able to utilise the Gandr and Finn Shot with relative skill, specially when using his Right Arm as the catalyst, he cannot be called a Master. He did learn quite a bit from his family library, as most of his ancestors were also skilled in the craft.Puppeteering [D]
Mostly a skill he picked up through need more than want, his skills limit themselves to making small puppets or prosthesis, such as his Right Arm, though he is able to control and create his Frost Cavalry with some ease.Curses [C+]
While not particularly keen on using Curses, he is still quite adept at using them, being able to swiftly and quickly cast minor Curses and being able to cast larger Curses through Formalcraft Circles or large evocations.Overhaul [C]
A unique Magecraft derived from using his Origin of [Reconstruction]. Reconstruction involves both Destruction and Construction and by making use of this process, alongside Alchemy’s principle of flow and manipulation of matter to allow for the deconstruction of objects and the flow of their matter into another shape or construct using [Disassembly] and [Reassembly] to accomplish this. This process can affect only inanimate objects, though he requires an at least basic understanding of what he’s manipulating to perform [Reassembly].Relationships
Personality
Mostly laid back and uncaring, he enjoys cutting things open to see how they work and sometimes enjoys creating new things out of them. While he is disabled, having lost partial control over his left leg after a bad fight, he is quite appreciative of life. He enjoys reading and learning things about technology, as he finds it quite interesting and “More fun than looking through the insides of a frog again”. As he is older his “cutting” tendencies have mostly subsided, leaving behind a sort of social awkwardness now that he is more socially aware and very aware of his lackluster social skills. He still possesses an almost compulsive need to reconstruct objects, usually sated by a few puzzles and similar activities.

Mystic Codes
Draconis Supremacy: Leonidas [B]
The Supreme Mystic Code of the Gael Family crafted from the flesh and Magic Core of a Dragon slain by the first head of the family. It’s purpose is to serve as the Family Head’s Familiar and aid while also serving as a living receptacle of all of their knowledge. Taking the form of a Crystal Ball, the Core is passed down from generation to generation with each family head giving the Familiar a personalised look. The Core’s current look is that of a small dragon the size of a dog.Fake Right Arm [B]
A puppet right arm made to replace his original right arm. This arm was made after he cut his original arm off to observe its inner working and to “See what was inside of me”. This Right Arm functions as his main Foci, using it to focus his Ice Magecraft and his Alchemy through. This arm has multiple functions and is even equipped with a Magic Energy Reactor to allow him to use short bursts of Mana Burst and to channel Gandr and Finn Shot through. The “+” stems from the Magic Energy Reactor inside along with its making as a Support Mystic Code meant to increase the power of his Magecraft. The right arm also has a small storage space big enough to fit a pack of cigarettes inside along with a small blade which can pop out and be used as a knife. The forearm was recently modified to include a Magic Focusing Cannon inside of it, being able to shift form to deploy it. This cannon can fire magic bullets which can easily perforate concrete walls or a steady, but weaker, continuous laser. The cannon can also charge up a single shot to make it stronger. This right arm currently houses the only remaining Philosopher’s Stone made using the Gael Family’s method, hidden from the world under various spells to avoid the Mage's Association’s scrutiny. It also causes him periodic phantom pains from there, though the stone has yet to have been found.Nameless Sword of Hollows [D+]
A strange sword passed through the Gael family. It is strangely formed, almost like it somehow melted and still retained most of its shape. This sword seems to emanate a strange aura that somehow makes it easier for it to damage [Enemies of Man], taking a C Rank instead.Gehenna: Silver Flame Rings [C++]
A pair of silver rings made using a combination of Runes and Alchemical processes. It allows him to manipulate the concentration of oxygen in the surrounding areas, increasing the potency of his Fire Magecraft. If water is around he is able to separate it into Hydrogen and Oxygen, further increasing the potency of his Fire Magecraft, at the cost of making it very volatile and hard to control, hence the “++” rating. Under normal usage his control is quite good along with his aim and the chances of backfiring are quite low as he creates narrow pathways between himself and his target, ensuring that the flames blossom at their intended destination, allowing him quite a bit of flexibility with his striking position. This Mystic Code actually only allows for the manipulation of Oxygen density (or the separation of water into Hydrogen and Oxygen) and requires an outside source of fire to function, mostly provided with what little Fire Magecraft he actually knows or something like a cigarette lighter. He is able to use this spell by himself even without the Mystic Code, though it does take a few more seconds to use without the Mystic Code, though he can also carve the Transmutation Array onto other objects to use incase of emergency as, to be completely truthful, the rings are simply surfaces upon which he can inscribe the Transmutation Array onto. As he’s used this Mystic Code/Spell for years he is able to perform pinpoint accurate moves such as targeting the tongue or eyes, though he usually avoids using such moves because of how gruesome they are. Though usually both of his hands are relegated to different tasks due to the differences in dexterity, as his main right hand is usually used for pinpoint accurate attacks and his left for bigger, less accurate attacks, though his right hand can also be used to create such attacks. He is able to perform only Oxygen/Hydrogen manipulation too using this Mystic Code, such as raising oxygen levels to where people feel dizzy or fall unconscious, or raising the level of hydrogen to create an oxygen deprived environment, though using hydrogen carries the risk of a great explosion because of the gas’s volatility.Blood Syringes [C+]
A style of syringes filled with a “Healing Potion”. Usually stored in a suitcase when not in use, he also carries two in his right arm just in case. While they aren’t exactly the same as in video games, they are still able to easily and quickly heal minor wounds and help with the treatment of larger wounds, though taking too much could lead to side effects. They also amplify Healing Magecraft being applied, along with being able to reattach severed limbs, assuming the attempt is made quickly enough.Prototype Right Arm Version 2 [???]
A prototype for a future right arm prosthetic. This one takes after the first model as it also contains a Magic Reactor Core inside, though this one is much more powerful. It is designed as a weapon, it’s Magic Focusing Cannon being much more powerful, in theory anyways, and being able to make use of One-Time Use Mana Bullet Shells, shell-like Mystic Codes capable of storing Mana. In theory, it would be possible to use such shells to create large scale shots using the Magic Focusing Cannon, storing the charge shells in Imaginary Number Space when not in use, though this would remove the arm’s ability to act as a container for small objects. As it is now, the arm lacks even a name and is nothing but a prototype containing a singular prototype shell. The arm itself is stored in the same suitcase as the Blood Syringes and is intended to serve as a backup should the one he’s using right now be destroyed or rendered unusable.Sawn-Off Shotgun [C++]
A sawn-off shotgun which shoots special alchemical bullets. These bullets are imbued with his Ice Magecraft, allowing them to “blossom” once they hit a target, growing a large ice flower from the inside of the target. The true power behind this shotgun is its ability to increase its fire power to match a tank, though doing so destroys the barrel. Due to this there is a sacrificial barrel attachment which takes the recoil and breaks, meaning that in between each shot the sacrificial barrel must be exchanged least the shotgun itself blows up from the force behind each shot. Each shot can be accelerated by feeding the rifle Prana, which accelerates the bullet inside exponentially to the point where it rivals a tank shot, with the sacrificial barrel taking the recoil from the shot and breaking. Due to the high velocity at which the bullets exit the chamber, he has to fire using his right arm as support, else he dislocates his shoulder by firing. His specialty bullets also cannot be used at such a velocity as each bullet shreds or pierces right through a target, making them irrelevant. He usually carries around 10 extra barrels when he uses this Mystic Code, carrying them inside of a specially designed pack to this effect. Under normal circumstances and using the specialty bullets this Mystic Code counts as “C” Rank, though when adding its additional firepower it gains its “++” modifiers.Philosopher’s Stone [Fake]/Sanguine Star
An attempt at recreating Paracelsus Von Hohenheim’s Legendary Philosopher’s Stone. While the attempt was somewhat successful, creating a “battery to fuel Magecraft beyond one’s means”, it managed to do so at the cost of Human Lives as creating a Philosopher’s Stone using the Gael Method required mass sacrifices of human lives to achieve. The amount of energy and power the stone has is entirely dependent on the amount of human souls stored inside of it. Due to this fact, the stones manufactured by the Gael are always a dark, blood red color, though they are not always “stones” as it can also be a liquid or a gemstone of some sort. Due to the danger such knowledge poses, the actual Transmutation Circle required to create Philosopher’s Stones using the Gael Family’s method is actually kept in several different books, requiring different decryption keys and spells be used and the resulting pages be assembled together and only then will the actual array present itself. Furthermore, knowledge about this “achievement” from the Gael Family are nothing but rumors to the Mages Associations. Due to this only Priscilla and Raven are aware of the Stone’s existence and only Raven has the capabilities of producing any. Raven has also managed to develop a Counter Circle used to destroy Philosopher’s Stones created by his family, though it has only been used once and created a large explosion due to the backlash of all that energy being released all at once. Currently there is only a singular Philosopher’s Stone manufactured through the Gael Family’s method in existence which is hidden inside of Raven’s metal arm and periodically causes him phantom pain from all the Souls inside of it.Generalized Information
