• Summoning wind - Boreas can summon mild to moderate spurs of gusting winds for a very short period of time (approx 30 seconds). Doing so expends his mana greatly and fatigues him easily; thus adequate rest between each incantation is usually required.

Weapon: 

 Boreas currently only has his issue wand; though his ability so summon winds is being honed to manipulate his environment which proves to show great combat potential.

Personality: 


Boreas is a tall, charming gentleman of the dragonesque race. He presents himself very well, his clothes well ironed and never a tie loose or button undone. He is usually wearing a gentle, quiet grin when in the presence of others. Any who are not sharp to suspicion would assume him to be a pleasant-natured individual.

His composure and soft-spoken words are not the only means he feigns kindness; but he also uses his magic to help others when they are hurt or unwell as a means of reinforcing the trust of those around him.

However, these gestures are all for the most part fake and serve only as part of an elaborate front to direct suspicion of his true cause. Although he poses no threat mostly; if he is crossed he may turn towards his true vengeful, cruel nature.

Biography: 

Boreas is a sub-dragon type that has been living in the mortal world for the past 450 years... But not by choice.


He once was a great dragon with immense and fearful powers of wind, but after a fateful event, he was cast out from his home for committing crimes against his kin. He ultimately seeks means of restoring his wings and returning to his former realm to enact vengeance on those who condemned him to living among mortal kind. However, being he was stripped nearly all aspects of his former self.. his powers are very weak... and there were few means available to aid him in helping them grow.

That is, until by chance he one day happened upon a secluded village in the regions his twin brother was once worshiped upon.. with books of old that made mention of a stone.. the Philosopher's Stone. It told the legend of a forbidden jewel that would grant its owner powers beyond those of the Elders themselves.

This stone... was the answer. It would undo his sentence to the mortal world and set things as they should be. No... the more he read on.. by the looks of it.. it was capable of doing more.. So much more..

Many things that made Boreas what he once was had long withered... but his greed was not one of them. And it consumed him- he started to become obsessed. He dug deeper; spending weeks at a time in these books and scriptures. Anything that would give hint or knowledge to the whereabouts of this treasure. There was ever prominent mention of an academy, its location well occluded from everyone except those who are the most gifted in sorcery and arcane manipulation. It was here, somewhere at this place; the stone may be found.

And he would find it.

With enough planning and practicing of smaller, more wordly spells, he was finally able to hap himself upon a plausible gateway that could potentially grant him access to the realm in which the academy was resided; beneath an ancient, decayed ruin of one of the shrines that was once used to worship his ancient kin that he resented so.

But he gave it no thought. He was prepared. After months of endless planning, refining his false identity, practicing of lowly magics.. with his new-found pathway, he was ready to gain access to this academy.


The philosophers stone would be his. No matter the cost.
