> *"Every spark longs to become a wildfire. Every apprentice longs to become a master."* ![[Placeholder.png]] ## Overview Caedus is a 20 year old Devil who was orphaned as an infant and raised by a reclusive wizard after being found on the wizard's doorstep. He spent most of his life in the wizard's tower, receiving an excellent education in magic, history, languages, and other scholarly subjects. While his mentor cared deeply for him and provided a safe home, Caedus grew up somewhat sheltered from the outside world. He learned a great deal about the world through books, but had very little firsthand experience with it. As he got older, Caedus began to realize that no matter how much he studied, there always seemed to be another lesson keeping him from venturing out on his own. He eventually decided that if he wanted to truly grow as both a wizard and a person, he needed to experience the world for himself. With his mentor's reluctant blessing, he left his apprenticeship early to travel, meet new people, and learn the kinds of lessons that can't be found in books. He still cares deeply for his mentor and intends to return one day to complete his training, but for now he's focused on discovering who he is beyond the walls of the tower. ## Quick Facts | Field | Value | |---|---| | Ancestry | Devil | | Age | 20 | | Class | Elementalist | | Subclass / Domains | Fire | | Level | 1 | | Career | Mage's Apprentice | | Wealth | 1 | | Renown | 1 | ## Stats | Field | Value | |---|---| | Primary Stats | Might -1, Agility -1, Reason 2, Intuition 2, Presence 2 | | Size / Speed / Disengage / Stability | 1M / 5 / 1 / 0 | | Max HP | 18 | | Recoveries | 8 | | Heroic Resource | Essence | | Languages | Caelian, Anjali, The First Language | > [!info]- Career: Mage's Apprentice > **Benefits:** > +1 Renown > +1 Language: The First Language > +1 Supernatural Perk: Invisible Force > +1 Skill: Alchemy > +2 Lore Skill: History and Monsters > **Inciting Incident:** > The mage you worked for was a kindly old soul, but the basic magic they taught you always seemed like a small part of something bigger.
