This is for detailed descriptions of Original Magecraft characters so that our one and only Nicole can draw them. Detailed physically, although I guess personality would help with drawing. Whatever, I'm not the artist here.
Her words:
So there ya have it. Try to remember what your shit looked like.

Personality will help to figure out posture and clothing style. But I'm focused on the appearance. Be sure to include height and build, too. Think of anything you might see.

As always, yours truly shall be the first to post! BEHOLD, THE ORIGINAL BIOGRAPHY OF JIN RAISHAK, RECOVERED FROM MY ANCIENT COMPUTER: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Jin Raishak (RY-SHOK)
Age: 21 (although technically he is far older)
World: Magic World
Race: Human
Appearance: Jin (The same one from the previous Magecraft Chronicles) somehow found a way to cross over into this story line, aging 3 years and becoming tons more powerful via some weird time spell lol. But on a more serious note, here's how his physical features are:
Jin has short black hair that spikes upward and a long scar down his right eye, similar to, well, Scar from the Lion King. Having become more powerful physically (as well as magically) he gained the ability to wear light armor and is commonly seen in a platebody, platelegs, boots and gauntlets made of the skeletons of a Shadow Dragon. He also has a skeletal dragon helmet that he will wear in battle, but he most commonly wears a black hooded cape (NOT A ROBE HOLY CRAP). In the center of the chest area of his armor is a dark emblem shaped similarly to a dragon's head. There are two slits on the emblem's front that glow occasionally, serving as the emblem's 'eyes'. He is around 6' 1" and always has a sword in a holster at his side.
Description: Jin's personality has undergone dramatic changes in his training via time magic.
Short History: At the age of 16, after Jin left his parents to train in the art of necromancy, he was far too eager in his desire to become a powerful dark sorcerer to please his parents. He made some sort of (no doubt sinister) pact with a Time Mage who promised Jin that he could master necromancy in only 3 years; all Jin had to do was be locked in solitary confinement for those 3 years and start using a sword rather than just magic. Jin hastily agreed, not reading the fine print in the contract that mentioned something about time hacks. In the 3 years in solitary confinement wherever he was, hundreds of years were actually passing in the real world. From where Jin was he had a view of the countless days passing in both the real world and Mundus Veritas. He saw the birth of technology in MV and grew sickened by what he claimed were "cheap imitations of magic." by the humans in MV. He was appalled by the large amounts of resources the MV humans wasted on their technology and knew that one day they would deplete everything in their world. What's more, since he had only aged 3 years while hundreds others had passed, he had lost everyone he cared about and used this feeling of loss to fuel his hatred for 'normal' humans. Presently, Jin seeks to go to Mundus Veritas and destroy his "arrogant, wasteful brethren" to make room for the 63 million mages that already inhabit the planet.
Description: In case the Short History didn't explain it, Jin is essentially prejudiced against the non-magical humans, those he deems inferior. While in actuality he is just angry at what the Time Mage put him through, he uses the non-magical as an outlet for this rage. While he could be considered evil, he is really just a child at heart sorely corrupted by the tides of time. He is indifferent and callous to the feelings of others (a result of his being out of his time) and, while he won't go so far as to murder at random, he probably wouldn't help someone if they were on the verge of death. Although he doesn't want to, he does occasionally kill his fellow mages for their souls. He requires the souls of a large amount of magical people to summon Umbraceon, a being whose very presence could bring about the end of all life on Mundus Veritas and proceed to reform it into a haven for mages. Jin has few (if any) friends and, although he would appreciate the assistance of others in his endeavor, he can't open up to people.
Abilities: Jin's a necromancer first and foremost, so his primary ability is to resurrect and manipulate the dead. His skill in manipulating death is so great that his mortality is often questioned; Jin regularly goes on quests slaying massive creatures to resurrect them as his minions with copious amounts of bravery, having the ideology that "Those who fear death merely do not understand it. In his training, he also awakened the abilities inherited from his parents. The standard dark battle magic used by his father is his favored method of attack, and he uses the summoning skills inherited from his mother to call forth creatures to aid him. He is adept at swordplay as well, but disdains close combat, deeming it a "useless vice of those too foolish to endeavor on the path of sorcery."
Weapon: Draco Nocturn - The Blade of the Shadow Dragon
Draco Nocturn, commonly referred to as Nocturn, is a longsword with a hilt with the same dragon like emblem as his armor. The blade is made of magically forged rune-silver, a metallic alloy said to cut the very air around it. In conjunction with his armor, the blade can absorb the souls of anyone unfortunate enough to cross its path. It glows blue, but the aura around it fades and turns dark with every soul he takes. Draco Nocturn does heavy damage against both dragons and the undead and amplifies his summoning, dark magic and necromantic abilities.

Other Information: Jin has several methods to achieve his goal of the destruction of Mundus Veritas, all of which he works on at the same time. Coincidentally, each of these tasks involves one of his three branches of magic.
1) (Summoning) Summoning Umbraceon (UM-BRAY-SEE-ON), a nearly omnipotent Shadow Demon that resides wherever summoned creatures are. Umbraceon is powerful enough to extinguish all non-magical life with his very presence and is the most efficient way of doing this.
2) (Necromancy) Travel to the True World (the logical translation of Mundus Veritas) and summon massive amounts of undead to slay all life there. It would be terribly messy and that is his least preferred of the three.
3) (Dark Magic) Find the Mage of the Beginning. Jin believes that the Mage of the Beginning would know a spell, the "Ultimate Destruction Spell" with power even greater than that of Umbraceon. Jin thinks his task is noble and that the MotB would be happy to help him. Now, if only Jin knew where he was or if he even still existed...

Okay....hmmmm. It has certainly been a while...
Name: Ethan Sorien
Age: 18 (by the end of Magecraft 2)
Appearance:
Ethan has longish white hair that hangs down just past his ears and blue eyes, is about medium height. He typically wears casual clothes under his black mage coat. With the war between Megolin and Hyddick on, however, he took to wearing leather armor under his coat for protection.

Name: Adden Gae'om
Age: I believe he was 30 to start with, having been 18 when Ossen fell.
Appearance: He's, well, 30. Good but not great shape. He's shorter than Jin, but probably taller than the kids. Average build - not muscular or fat, but somewhere in between. The kind of body you get from eating well, but not really exercising too much. I don't remember his eye color, so I'm going to say Green. He does have long, straight, silver hair. He wears glasses - the old-timey big circular ones with narrow frames. HE's clean-shaven always.
Personality: Adden is a kindly, gentle person. He's not particularly talkative or outgoing, but he has the look of someone you can just walk up to and start talking, someone who'll listen and try to help.
Having lived in Mundas Veritas for twelve years, he wears "normal" clothes, but it's a bit formal. Button-up shirts and slacks rather than T-shirt and jeans. He does, however, have a set of black robes with an emblem emblazoned on the back. The emblem is a stylized Omega (the Greek letter) with a pair of wings stretched out from the center, overlapping parts of the Omega. The Omega is gold and the Wings are white.
Adden is always accompanied by his three Familiars, who I will describe later.
