Seeds of Dissillusion (OOC/CS)

Name: Corvinus Vost
Age: 31
Gender: Male
Race: Human 

Weapon/magic of choice: A renowned healer, Corvinus primarily focuses on healing magic as well as alchemy, preferring to heal wounds than inflict them. However should anyone threaten the lives of innocents or seek to harm others, Corvinus is also an accomplished storm mage, able to use lightning and wind to buff him and his allies or blast his enemies away.

Corvinus uses a battlestaff alongside his magic, with a focusing crystal at the tip surrounded by twisted vines of willow. At the base is the blade, able to both cut and thrust, and usually it is covered by a leather sheath to protect it while travelling.

Character Description: Standing just shy of 6ft, Corvinus has short cut, well maintained jet black hair, along with a trimmed beard as well. His eyes are a deep blue with streaks of light blue cutting across them like lightning bolts, that stands out in contrast with his pale skin. Void of any scars or blemishes, he would be considered quite handsome, especially when he smiles, which is often due to his rather cheerful demeanour.

Corvinus often wears garments of brilliant colours, reminders of his old life as a noble. Thick grey trousers are often tucked into his fine, brown leather boots, with a blue and grey jerkin being his favourite thing to wear. In contrast to this however, his white travelling cloak is well worn and tattered, its colour faded over the years to be somewhat muted. All of this is tied together by a belt around his waist, which holds room for a few vials as well as pouches for collecting alchemical ingredients.

Personality: Corvinus appears as a caring, kind, charitable individual, who cares for all wether they be rich or poor. Whenever he arrives at a town, he often will make the rounds from the slums to markets, healing those that need it the most for free and charging for treatment from those who can afford it. Always very polite and courteous, as he was taught to be growing up, he is as conformable in the courts as he is with the lesser folk, always with an easy smile and treats for the children. Corvinus abhors those who would do harm or take a life, but despite this he has also healed fallen foes such as bandits to ensure they live to stand trial, even when that trial would still lead to their death. A fan of music and a song, Corvinus also sings and plays the lyre, as well as reading books on magical theory.

Character's Backstory: Born as the eldest son to a minor lord of Lothern, Corvinus was groomed to take his fathers place one day in court, ruling over their holdings and taking care of the family. As such he was raised with respect, dignity and courtesy to prepare him for life in court, the never ending game. When he reached his teens he was educated in stewardship on how to handle their holdings and in combat, and when it was discovered that he had magical potential, a tutor was also brought in to teach him how to hone his magical energy, who taught him how to channel it into the power of wind and storms.

One day, when browsing the markets with his mother, younger brother and a few of their household guards, Corvinus met a alchemists daughter, about the same age as him. The two struck up a friendly chat, until spotted by his mother who ushered him away. Still the two would continue to meet in secret, him sneaking away from his father's manor and over the wall to speak with her in the dead of night. By time his 18th birthday approached, the two were already deeply in love with one another, and when his father told him it was time to start looking for a bride, Corvinus put forward his Bella. Naturally, his father rejected the proposal, claiming that only a marriage with another noble would provide a powerful alliance for when he took his place in court. For months the two of them argued back and forth, and on the eve of his 18th birthday, Corvinus fled from the castle, leaving only a note to explain where he had gone. Meeting up with Bella, the two eloped to a small village where they were wed by a travelling priest, and the two set up a small apothecary with Bella handling the alchemy, teaching him when they had the time, while he gathered the ingredients in the surrounding forests and hills. It was a simple life, one that he would have been happy to enjoy for the rest of his days, but fate wouldn't be so kind.

Barely three years into their marriage, Bella would come down with a strange illness that kept her weak and bedridden with a fever, coughing up blood. Corvinus himself tried to get her a healer, but those who came had no cure for her illness, and he was so desperate he reached out to his father and mother to send their own physician however he never reached there in time. Bella would pass on a day before he could arrive, leaving Corvinus mad with grief. For a further three days he stayed by her side, barely eating and drinking, sending away all well wishers as well as the physician who suggested he return home. Burying her alongside the river they would stroll along, in the shade of a willow tree, of which he took a branch to fashion into a staff, before gathering a few personal possessions and leaving that part of his life behind.

Still wallowing in grief, Corvinus walked the land before being taken in by a kindly old priest who looked after him and provided comfort in his dark days. Taking him to a monastery, Corvinus found peace in watching the priests and priestesses heal those who looked to be on the verge of death, and soon pledged to join as well. For five years he learned the art of healing, such a dedicated student that soon he was able to treat wounds and diseases even the priests couldn't. However before he was ordained as a member of the clergy, he was thrown out for heretical practises, involving attempts to bring the dead back to life through dark magics. Still Corvinus had found purpose there, and although not a priest, he travelled to as many places as he could, providing healing and comfort to those who needed it, like he had. Yet behind his cheerful smiles and polite demeanour, was a darkness still festering inside him, as he seeks to cure the one disease that inflicts all men. Death.

Now with trouble on the horizon in Telarin, Corvinus has decided to make his way over to the city to heal those in need, as well as continue to expand his horizons.

Equipment: Corvinus equipment is primarily his battlestaff as well as his described clothing. He carries clean clothing in his pack, as well as a morter and pestle for grinding up ingredients, and a number of vials and containers that are in his pack and belt. He also has a lyre, that he will often play when he has the time, as well as a diary into which he notes down any new ingredients as well as any experiments he has. Around his neck is a silver locket, an heirloom of his Bella.

Miscellaneous: Corvinus believes all races, good or evil, deserved to be healed and saved, as well as believing a peaceful solution should be tried before anything else. A seeker of arcane knowledge, Corvinus believes that all magic serves a purpose, and does not discriminate against dark magic and indeed believes believes key to curing death lies somewhere in between the Dark and Holy. He also has a particular disdain against those against magic, and those who would seek to harm others.
