Post timeskip (glad I read that)
Name: Xinder
Class: Mage
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Violet
Age: 19
Appearance: Long smooth hair which resembles a girls (which he is often mistaken as, to his anger), round rimmed spectacles which he doesn't need, and smooth features (also resembling a girl)
Clothes: Black robes usually cover his body, causing many to believe he is a shaman when he says he uses magic, and he usually walks barefooted, prefering to feel the ground beneath his feet
Born in: Lycia
Story: Born in one of the remote regions of Lycia, Xinder was born, not as a noble to a house that was destroyed in years past. He had been taught to weild a sword from an early age, though it never quite felt right to him. He would prefer to sit and read in the library, and often skipped his fencing class to do just that.
One day, while skipping class, Xinder ran across a book that caught his eye. It had been hidden on a shelf covered by a blanket.
The book was filled with strange symbols, but Xinder seemed to understand their meanings. While reading it outside one day, he unconciously read a few of the symbols out loud (They sound like another language as well). At the words lightning struck the ground before him, causing him to jump back and land on his back roughly. He looked around but it seemed like clear skies all around. So, where did the lightning come from? The book! He picked up the book again, and reread that area, lightning struck again. It was a magic tome.
After his first use of magic, he began reading other magic tomes and began practicing magic in secret in his basement.
He was in the basement practicing his magic one day when a large commotion broke out upstairs. Naturally he stayed hidden in the basement until it had passed. When everything quieted down he opened the trapdoor leading to the outside. Everything was destroyed.
His house had been burnt down, his parents killed. He took all of the tomes he had hidden in the basement and searched the library, taking whatever tomes he could find that were still intact. After he had packed up his supplies he set out to search the world, hoping to come in contact with the bandits who had burnt down his only home.
