Stanvey Bravery

Sir Stanvey Bravery (a.k.a. Stan)

Stanvey is the current Commander of the South Forces in the South Magocracy and is an Ilkan who is proficient in pop earthbased telepathy. He's described by his family, peers and coworkers as the embodiment of justice but he begs to differ. Before he became the Commander, he was the Mayor of Magna City and has built a good name for himself and his family. He was adopted by the Bravery Family of Magna City but was never told he was adopted, meaning that he also doesn't know he's an Ilkan

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Stanvey Bravery stands out, literally. He is 6'2" which is considered very tall for Southerners (the average male is just 5'9".) Since he is the Commander of the South Forces, he makes sure to exercise every now and then, keeping his body fit even though he is middle aged in South Terms. His most notable characteristic is his height and his eyes.

Identifying Characteristics

The veins in his arms are very pronounced. It can be observed that his veins are tinted green which makes him have a warm undertone.

Physical quirks

Stanvey's dominant hand is his left one though he has been trained to use his right hand for military purposes. Whenever talking or simply standing straight, he places his hands either on his sides or behind him, almost never at his front. Some people also comment on how he looks like he is always frowning.

Special abilities

Stanvey Bravery is proficient in pop earthbased telepathy. He can speak to a person or several people at the same time with his thoughts. His version of this magic isn't limited to the people he knows or can see which means he can contact anyone even from a far and even if he doesn't know their name. He has gained full control of this magic when he was 18.

Apparel & Accessories

Before being appointed as a mayor, Stanvey wears simple dress shirts, various pants and loafers. (He's had thirteen pairs of shoes throughout his life which is unusual since the average person owns five to eight.) After being appointed as mayor though, he started wearing the Mayoral Brooch every time he makes a public appearance. In official meetings with The South Magocracy or with The North Monarchy, he wears the peacock shade ceremonial robes with white Military Uniform.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Stanvey was born in 1577 in Magna City when his ila mother and kan mother had merged together. Little Stanvey was formed with the ability of earthbased magic even as a baby which piqued the interest of Feira Bravery who was a 16 year old Alchemeleons member. She took him in when she saw him alone in the forest because one, she had never seen an Ilkan baby before, two, there was no way she'd leave him there in the cold. Feira has never told Stanvey he was adopted.
When he was 2 years old, he keeps on accidentally telepathically talking to Feira and her family. Since he can't form sensible sentences yet, all he does is in baby speech.
When he started going to the Grand-mount Institute for Mages at age 5, the teachers are in awe that he makes friends with everyone and that he is a natural leader.
At the age of 8, Stanvey wanted to join a guild but Feira told him that he's just a kid but he argued that some guilds accept little kids. His adoptive family told him no but that didn't stop him from forming a small guild with his classmates. Their guild was created when they saw an injured bat and vowed to take it home to a cave nearby. In this quest, they went into a miniscule cave that opened to a whole cavern of crisscross tunnels but they got out with the use of Stanvey's telepathy when they were testing out the tunnels.
Stanvey became a consistent student leader in his teenage years. He finally joined the Happy's Healers guild with his best friend when he was 12. At the time, he was the only member of the guild who can talk telepathically so he was frequently invited to many quests by his guild mates. One of his best memories with his guild mates is the celebratory party they had when they finished building a house in the caves for their tranox friends in the West caves. He spent four years with the Magni Foxes and for those four years, they helped many people with small to big conflicts. Another good memory of his is when they saved people under a rubble after an earthquake in Magna City. Stanvey used his telepathy to communicate with them.
He stayed with the guild for four years until during the year of 1573 when he was offered the opportunity to be a official for the city by the Youth Governance of Magna City. He accepted the job despite pleas from his best friend to stay. He became an official News Messenger and carried on daily tasks for Magna City. He found his new work very enlightening since he traveled around (mostly from Magna City to Equality City, other regions from time to time). He brought both good news and bad to the people and the government; most of them bad especially in the year of 1576 when there was a crisis between the ethnic groups in the border regions. The Uklesta guild was last seen in the sixth month of 1576 when some of its members were attacked by people from the farm regions. It was said to be a religious and ethnic issue. Stanvey was ordered not to delve deeper; he infers that it's an issue that runs like a deep wound in the South. After that, a series of terrorism occurred in the Mining Town of Garvi. He was deployed there along with other messengers, sentries and crime detectives. He was the bearer of bad news to children whose parents were killed by a Red Code guild.
When he turned 22, he thought that he'd want to try to be a sentry since being a messenger took a toll on his conscience. He thought that maybe as a sentry he can have a greater role in society as a protector rather than just a message-bearer. He trained for 2 years to be a sentry and was deployed in the farm regions. A year later, he was assigned to the border between the North and South, called the Median Line. In the year 1582, he was the one who discovered a bomb in one of the official trade cargo being delivered from South to North. Apparently, it was a ploy made by a Red Code guild so that a civil war may "finally" spark between the North and the South. Because of his quick thinking, Stanvey removed the threat and quickly rose through the ranks. He became a general 7 months later. Many were in awe of him.
People urged him to run for Magna City mayor in the year 1584 because people believed that he was right for the job. He won the elections and became mayor from 1585-1590. His accomplishments as mayor are:
  • Created a plan for economic equality in Magna City
  • Lessen crime and build trust within civilians and authority
  • Funding more magic technology
  • Help Fix the Water Ways

He stepped down successfully with only one loose end: The Thief who he had discovered in 1592 trying to rob a library for a book about healing spells for his brother's sickness. The Thief had been terrorizing Magna City since Stanvey's first year as Mayor so he knew that the boy had to face justice. Though, Stanvey didn't know why but he could not bring himself to punish the boy. He offered a barter instead-- that he, himself, would provide health goods for Mijo until he's 20 if Mijo stops robbing the city. Stanvey warned the boy that if he still attacks the city, he would not hesitate again to throw him into jail. Fortunately, the thief backs down and hasn't been traced to any crime since then.

In 1593, Stanvey was elected to be an official for the South Magocracy, the Commander of the South Forces, specifically. He won against three other opponents. It is his duty to train the future sentries and act as a judge for heavy criminal cases (since the South is in a peaceful era.) Some people started to doubt him though after a case where a noble family's head lord was attacked by a rogue barn animal from a farm. It was an obvious accident but the head lord had a broken leg. The farmer who owned the barn animal is facing a decrease in sales and might undergo a null trade if Stanvey would sentence him greatly so instead, the farmer received a lighter sentence but the noble family was not satisfied with that.

Education

Stanvey's an alumni of the Grand-mount Institute for Mages in Magna City. He started going there when he was 5 and graduated when he was 17. The Grand-mount Institute for Mages is a magic school; therefore, they learn how to use, to respect and to balance their magical abilities. Other than that, his core subjects throughout elementary are History, Mathematics, Languages and Discipline. His core subjects throughout secondary education is Languages, Science and Magic Control. Stanvey's electives consisted of Politics and Ethnic Differences.

Failures & Embarrassments

  • He thinks he has no permanent friends.
  • He wasn't really that obedient to Feira.
  • He's the bringer of bad messages.
  • He puts the needs of the people first before the law.

Mental Trauma

Stanvey is most afraid of not having people to talk to him. He also has an irrational fear of closed spaces.

Intellectual Characteristics

Stanvey is a person who is very keen to detail. He notices slight change in the tone of a person's voice especially if he knows them well. Being a telepath, his mind can't simply go loose which is why he refrains from heavy thoughts and doubting. When he was a child, he tried his very best not to accidentally telepathically talk to someone without meaning to. He gained quick control of his powers and uses it to display his acumen. Apart from his balanced control of his magic, Stanvey is known to be very witty. Though he usually despises himself for "his intellect only comes when he needs it the most," Stanvey is known to stolid in the face of a challenge and is firm in carrying out his plans with others.

MBTI: INFJ

Morality & Philosophy

We will use the moral alignment chart to determine this character's morality.   Stanvey Bravery exemplifies the alignment of: Neutral Good. Although he has been in a position of authority for the majority of his life, Stanvey follows the needs of the people rather than the laws. He is aware of this and thinks that this is his fatal flaw; after all, he is a judge. He has to be fair to both the laws and the people but he can't condemn people especially if they were just victims as well as seen with The Thief.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Stanvey dreams to become a useful and productive member of society even when he was a child. He joined guilds and jobs because he wants to prove that he can do a lot to improve society. Though he has done many things for the South Magocracy, he stills feels as though it is not enough. From a prolific guild member to a hardworking messenger to an exuberant sentry to a trusted Mayor to a forgiving Commander.
