Physical Description: He has medium-length, brown, curly hair, green eyes, and freckles. He wears a leather jacket with one sleeve stitched closed (due to the fact that he only has one arm). He wears a khaki shirt with a purple symbol on it, and wears jeans. By his side, he has a small pouch, in which he keeps his thaumic goggles, and in his belt, he keeps a small bronze baselard for self defense.
Personality Description: Tends to treat new people coldly, but warms up to people eventually. With people he knows, he’s relatively cheerful, but gets annoyed pretty easily.
Backstory: Raised by Sylra, a wisewoman from his village, he gained knowledge of various forms of magic from a young age. As a five year old, inspired by Sylra’s skill in the thaumic arts, he took up thaumaturgy. He lost his arm when he was thirteen years old, he was forced to cut off his own arm after aquiring a horrible case of necrotising faciitis. ((don’t google that it’s not great))
At the age of fifteen, he began thaumaturgy, and created his first wand; a silver-capped nether quartz wand (which he kept to this day). A year later, Vendil started basic artifice, and accidently released a huge cloud of flux gas into his & Sylra’s house. Needless to say, Sylra was not impressed. At twenty years of age, he moved into a small cottage and began selling custom-made wands, and beginner’s thaumaturgy equipment for a living. When Vendil was 25, a magic-hating group went through the town making attacks on anyone capable of magic. At the time, Vendil had been in a nearby forest, searching for nodes, but returned only to find Sylra’s home was but a pile of ashes.
Vendil was distraught, and took up drinking. After a year, he decided he could no longer bear living in the town anymore, packed up his belongings, and moved into a small house in the woods near a small market town called Vallirana. He occasionally heads up to the local tavern, and has become infamous for his drunken escapades around the town, which usually lead to him being unconscious and half naked in the town fountain.
