So, not sure how everyone’ll feel about the whole ‘magic’ thing, but I like him and thought I’d give it a shot anyways. I’m guessing he’s the fear of modern witches. Or hippies. Maybe both >.>.

Name: Nexus “Nex” Caradoc
Age: 84. Appears physically to be about 19.
Gender: Male
Group: 2nd Generation Marelock, but “passing” for Nightmare
Occupation: Freelancer & Modern Pagan
History: Nex grew up in a family of four. His mother was a Marelock living in almost total isolation before marrying Nex’s father, a country Nightmare who resided by the Forest of Mystery. Nex has an older brother who lives in Dreamland and tries with a single-minded persistence to forget that he has a hick Nightmare family. Nex’s mother introduced him to Modern Paganism, teaching him some of the basic energy properties.
After turning 40, Nex moved into Chimera to start his own life. Since then he has gone from one part-time, low-wage job to another. Nex now lives in a shabby apartment and is in between jobs. He does, however, make a very fine box-opener and is looking for work if anyone’s interested in hiring.
Appearance: Nex is tall and thin, giving him that ‘stretched’ appearance common in young men who’ve just grown several feet in a very short amount of time. His short black hair is finger-combed at somewhat stylized angles, his bangs just barely brushing his forehead. Beneath dark brows are two lively green eyes (very auspicious color). His complexion would be pale if not for the generous amount of time spent out of doors and his long nose always seems to be a little sun-burnt. His full lips and round face give him a generally pleasing, if boyish, countenance.
Nex’s wardrobe is simple and typically unvaried. He favors either black or indigo shirts, button downs or tees, and skinny jeans. Sometimes regular jeans. Maybe even slacks on occasion. On his right eyebrow is a hole from a piercing he got in his 50’s, but no longer likes or maintains. Self-mutilation can disrupt the natural flow of positive energy through the body. Nex sometimes wears bracelets, usually black and perfectly masculine, thanks. He only seems to own one pair of ratty high-top shoes, and can always be seen wearing them. His short nail usually sport chipping black polish.
Personality: Although his style of dress is practically screaming ‘Emo’, Nex is far from the steryotype. He is pretty sensitive, though. The sensitivity comes mainly from being hyper-aware of the intrinsic ‘energies’ of himself, others, and the surrounding environment. The rest is just because he’s a nancy.
Nex is bright, inquisitive, and always looking to increase his spell repertoire. He’s brave in a pinch and pretty reckless with the summoning spells, but is often unsure of both his budding powers and his abilities as a warlock. In any matter, he’ll try the spell you give him, but he’s not promising results. Or at least not the results that were intended.
Nex has an earnest desire to help where he can and be of use to those in need. Once asked to do something, he’ll keep at it until it gets done. His eventually flappable, though long-fused patience is suitable for the try, try again approach to problems. Nex has tried meditating to improve his patience, but has yet to succeed as he often falls asleep in the attempt.
Powers: Nex is a burgeoning spell caster and a devoted Modern Pagan. He’s pretty solid with floating pencils, needles into hedgehogs, and the like. However, he is constantly looking to expand his abilities as a magic practitioner. He once tried summoning Agni to the subconscious realm. He’s still got burn marks on his back.
Nex has potential as a spell caster. He’s acutely aware of his surroundings and has a fairly deep energy reserve. Nex’s eyes go a pupil-less white, the Goddess color, when casting. Nex’s abilities are not innate, they are learned. He relies on incantations and symbols for both simple and complex spell work. Spells are simply the teachings passed on to him by the Great Mother and her disciples.
*Note: Although it’s not likely to affect much, Nex is bi; meaning he’s not just checking out the girls. Freedom of self is vital to a healthy aura.
