---

Jaraleth was growing more hostile as Faolan wandered around for longer periods of time. The dragon that lived out on the plains were hunting closer and closer to the settlement and panic rose in the ranks. G'reg had been slacking with the protection of his territory, but that was an expected development. Faolan had seen it coming and G'reg had hinted at it.

However, it didn't make trading any easier with the residents of Jaraleth. Faolan was going to have to travel back out into the plains to find G'reg, who'd been hiding for weeks. There were only whispers in the corner of Faolan's mind, hushed and aggressive, but it was getting to a breaking point. He hadn't realized how much G'reg was a part of him.

He had a pack of supplies. If he was going to go find G'reg, then he was going to have to look very hard and carefully. Maybe he'd find a few clues along the way. Like maybe someone who had seen G'reg at all.

Was that even a real possibility? in a plain so large and sparse? It was worth a shot. Faolan, supplies strapped to his back and compass in hand, set out from Jaraleth northeast. The hunt was on so to speak.

      

Character's Name: Seerajek

Nicknames: Jek

Age: 75

Gender: Male

Species: Kirin (Myras)

Abilities: Strength, Agility, Endurance, Shapeshifting to Human-like form, Lightning breath

Appearance: In Kirin form, Jek is long, sleek and, most importantly albino. As a Myras, he is mostly scaled save for a soft underbelly. His eyes are a glacial blue but can appear dark when his pupils are fully dilated. When not dilated, his pupils form slits. He has fangs that poke up past his lips, and an antler that points forward, with a small branch near the base. He has dexterous dragon-like feet, with long claws, and his long mane is wavy and somewhat unkempt. He has a long, sleek looking body, a long neck, and long legs. Not the most robust Kirin, his speed and ferocity make up for his lack of bulk. There are horns on his eye ridge, and three horns down each of his forelegs. 

In human form, Jek is tall, almost 5'10", with a lithe physique. He appears thin and long-limbed, lending favorably to his height. Still albino, his hair is white-blond, and as wavy and unkempt as his mane in Kirin form, granted it is pulled back into a tail at the back of his head. His ears can swivel and are elongated, though they are not fully Kirin ears. His nails are manicured to a point, but short enough not to get in the way of work. He often wears black, and form fitting clothing. When in human form, he ornaments his lower lip with a ball piercing just underneath it. He has full lips and a wide mouth, and his downturned eyes often give him a serious look. His eyelashes are thick and white blond, much like his shapely brows. He has a outwardly curved nose bridge, and a moderate bulb, with narrow nostrils that point down. His jaw is angular, he has high cheekbones, and a prominent brow ridge and chin. He is wide in the shoulders, narrow in the waist and holds himself in strictly good posture. His movements are graceful and fluid. He can dart quickly even in his human form, and retains his strength. He has yet to test his lightning breath in human form. 

Personality: Others say Jek is a quiet, competent and punctual man with proper enunciation and a high-minded diction and syntax. Jek just happens to like to do things correctly when he does them. He walks with proper posture, has a fluid gait and learns things with the kind of single-mindedness one would devote to the completion of one's destiny. He has a good sense of humor, a solid grasp on human ethics and morals, as well as the specific laws of Yfrelo. 

When Jek becomes defensive, or suspicious of others, he loses the warmth and humor that characterize him as the perfect receptionist, and becomes the cold, calculating killer his race dictates he must be. He is quick, and brutal, and has the kind of stare that communicates all of his hostility. He never sneers or snarls, instead choosing his words carefully and executing them exactly in the proper tones to convey his meaning. When choosing to appear threatening, he will utilize his agility to jar others' perception of where he might be in a room. Seeing as he can cross a room without so much as a whisper, without magic, he can easily become a threat. 

History: Jek was born in the wild. When his colors did not change, he became the target of poachers, and ejected from his family unit due to the danger of remaining in their territory. Still a very young kirin, he was rescued from a trap by field magicians. Despite his hostility, he was taken to the college and attempts were made to tame him. Exposure to magic and magicians eventually developed a curiousness in him that, if he promised not to try and gore anyone, would allow him to study in the library. 

He met Magnus Septirious during one such library study session and was taken under her wing. It was through her that he learned to shapeshift into human form, but that was the extent of his magical ability in most areas. He was training to be part of her security force when a certain brilliantly smiling individual came along and offered him retirement, medical and vacation days. 

Because the college had such an "owner" mentality where Jek was concerned, he was all too happy to turn tail on the college, though he did send a formal letter of apology to Magnus. He became Graham's bodyguard instead and, with the introduction of Samira, now acts as his receptionist, though it is clear to a select few that anyone breaching City Hall will find their final obstacle to be a murderous Kirin. He and Killian are very familiar with each other. 

Unlike Killian, Jek was never one to keep his words to himself. Well-spoken and wickedly intelligent, he made it clear he was no one's punching bag, whether or not they'd saved him from being skinned alive. 

He, Samira, Graham and Graham's family get along well. He is almost like a brother Graham's daughters never had.

------


The mage in charge of the Enchantment branch of the Mage's College was a curiously benign and very paranoid person. An elf who insisted on being called Master Tinks no matter what event was happening. At some point Cromwell, the headmaster usually in charge of communications, had given up on trying to change the eccentric elf's mind.

Cromwell was bad at communication to say the least.

However, when Master Tinks would get all wound up about a bit or bauble that they had created, there was no stopping them from freaking out about it. (Apparently the college attracted all types of mages, not just the sane ones...as far as Cromwell was concerned.) He couldn't get the elf to leave him alone no matter how hard he tried. And, boy, did he try.

Please have it checked out, the college could be destroyed.

Cromwell, of course, wanted nothing to do with this idiot elf who was out of their mind. So he banged down Magnus's door, yelled some rage-filled gibberish and stormed out, forcing all the papers in her little office to explode into a rain of parchment. Cromwell being in a bad mood was always a delightful way to start the work day. Magnus waved her hands and all the papers flew back where they belonged.

"I think you should check it out, Killian," she said. "I have nothing else for you to do today, sorry."

Killian frowned even though that was his default. He frowned deeper. "This isn't even a threat inside the college, Magnus."

"Off you go. Master Tinks says it's a walking disaster. Wouldn't specify anything else. Just get some fresh air if nothing else."

Killian scowled but obeyed. He disappeared in the shadows and strode out of the huge gaping opening to the cobblestone bridge that lead into the city. Looking for a walking disaster in Yfrelo was like looking for hay in a haystack. With no other description, he would have to rely on intuition, but he had no idea what he was looking for.

He figured it would be better to sit by the gate atop a pillar and just observe. He'd follow any truly unusual "walking disasters" that happened to cross his path. Hopefully nobody would bother him on his stake-out.

Character's Name: Killian


Nicknames: None, but is not opposed to them if acquainted.

Age: 72

Gender: Male

Species: Sphinx

Abilities: Exceptional magical ability in the Arcane Arts, is a magical engineer and specifically utilizes magic in ways to advance society as a whole, though also understands that a Sphinx does not hold much say in humanoid affairs. Supernatural levels of forethought and deduction. Limited telepathy, though only with those he has a close relationship with. This is due to his magical experimentation.

Appearance:

Sphinx:

 
Human: Killian has the same brown skin as his sphinx form, though his eyes look more orange than yellow in comparison. He is average height, standing around 5’ 6”, and rarely smiles, as he’s always thinking a step ahead, sometimes more. His nails are sharper and longer than a typical human’s.
Posture lends to that of a scholar. He carries himself with confidence when not hidden in the shadows, and he is nearly indistinguishable from a normal human. The biggest indication is his gold tongue and thin pads on his palms. He tries to keep his hands hidden for this reason, as respect for him typically dwindles once it’s known that he is a sphinx.


Personality: Killian is quiet and direct. He rarely speaks unless he is spoken to first, unless he is playing secretary for Magnus Septirious, the Head of Security at the Mage’s College. He is an adept learner and would rather spend his time gaining more knowledge than going toe to toe with others even though he is fully capable of attack.

He has a sense of guardianship over Magnus and others who work with security and is fiercely protective of those he has chosen to care about. He is slow to trust and even slower to be open about it. He hasn’t had a single relationship that he cared about outside of Magnus, who he sees as a friend and respected colleague.

He is wary of humans and doesn’t expect them to be much different than typical because in his observations, humans are the quickest to act rash and panicked. He does not oozed superiority, but his matter-of-fact way of speaking to others makes him appear arrogant.

He is quite the conversationalist and knows a great deal about many topics. Should he offer a riddle, he is gauging for intelligence regardless of the answer provided. Some might notice how his attitude changes after a conversation of that nature.


History: Killian was born in the Mage’s College during an attempt to allow other magical creatures into the ranks. Yfrelo’s history as a primarily humanoid city lead to such measures being taken, but because some of the mages were intolerant, very few of those attempted integrations went well. Killian’s birth mother refused to take Killian back after he had been handled by humans. She had been unable to clean him herself and lost the delicate bond a sphinx is required to make. He became uninteresting, and she left him at the college to be raised with those humans.

Killian was taken care of because the Head Headmaster at the time took pity. It wasn’t fair to the cub to be abandoned, and a Sphinx was a worthy addition to the college, and didn’t have more feral or sophisticated tendencies like a Sphinx born in their natural lands. It was also an opportunity for research.

And extensive research at that.

Killian’s years as a cub gave him access to untold mountains of information and he soaked it up like a sponge, learning and becoming highly experienced in Arcane magic taught by the instructors at the college. He applied his magic differently than most of the other students only because he was treated like a ticking time bomb in the china shop. Sphinxes were scary because their intelligence was so much more than that of a human’s.

Killian never showed signs of aggression, though he did unlock the ability to shapeshift into a more palatable form: that of a human. He did this to further his studies, however, when he was about forty years old, Magnus Septirious took the position of Head of Security, and offered Killian the respect that he deserved.

Under her watchful eye, he began to experiment on his own with the magical resources he had available to him. He took a liking to the way Magnus handed her job, and grew closer with her as a colleague. They were the same age.

Nine years later, he is a faithful friend and a sort of secretary and bodyguard to Magnus because he has considered her worthy of protection along with all the information they have gathered together. He does, however, thirst for knowledge and the stores are running dry. He has considered moving into a new field of research, but his loyalty is getting in his way.

He is currently at a crossroads, and seeks to alleviate his desire to learn in a constructive way.
