MY FAMILY LINE[/color]: // The Madeira claim to be the tenth generation of an Israeli clan over seven hundred years old. However, they reportedly decayed at a faster rate than almost all the other Magi families, as the average Magi is born with barely fifteen magic circuits and a piddly 1.2 PrC rate. Their crest is a pair of hammers crossed above a chisel, indicating their specialty in structural and molding magic. Once known to have built impressive keeps, today they still have skilled artisans, although they rely less and less in magecraft.
MY HISTORY[/color]: //
The current heir of an impoverished Magi family from Portugal, Pedro is a skilled Mage who had the misfortune of being the hope of the rest of his clan to win the Sixth Grail War. The Madeira family is the remnant of a more famous line of magi from Jerusalem, although the Crusades and persecution forced them to reside in Spain. To make things worse, they were almost wiped out by the Inquisition before hiding in the Portuguese countryside. There they came dangerously close to be wiped after their bloodline became weaker and weaker until the 1800s, when they succeeded to bring an Einzbern mage into their homestead. Unfortunately they were still too weak to have actually have a chance participating in the Grail Wars, until a new prodigy was born. Pedro was born with the largest amount of Magic Circuits in the family in the last 400 years, which made him the object of a serious training regime, which made him resent that greatly as he was denied the childish pleasures of a young age, which aggravated with the early death of his beloved mother at age five. And so he was trained in his family's magicraft and particular masonry secrets in the countryside of Trás-os-montes until he was seventeen years old. While he managed to go to a small village school during this time, he still spent most of his days toiling and training and trying to compliment his somewhat weak school curriculum by getting across every book he could find.
Yes, poor Pedro would rather have a normal life than one of a Magus, but his early years have taught him to do the best of it. Despite the various admonishings of his strict father, he tried to start an Engineering major in Oxford at the same time he studied magic in the Clock Tower magi association. There he became quite retracted due to the deplorable current state of his family, avoiding contact with colleagues and professors. While this didn't hamper the rate of his studies, it alienated him from the world of the Magi. Until...
The Sixth Grail War was announced. The head of the Madeira family made his words as clear as crystal. Pedro would go to Lucca and win the Holy Grail for his family. As the clan hoped that the Grail's infinite amount of magical energy would turn them from a decadent remnant of faded glory to a line that would eclipse the Bartholomei themselves in power and influence.
Only one person tried to interject, to plead not to be sent to be kill or even be killed. But he was ignored and sent to Lucca. His tale now shall unfold, and if he can actually survive to the end of it remains to be seen.
MY GOALS[/color]: // Reportedly to uplift his family name from a minor alchemist line to a major political player, Pedro plans to use the Grail's power to become the greatest artist in history instead.
[/size][/blockquote]
RANK[/color]: // 5
ELEMENT[/color]: // Earth.
EXPERTISE[/color]: // Construction and creation-based magecraft.
MAGIC CIRCUITS[/color]: // The most skilled Magi in his family in over seven generations, Pedro has twenty-four Magic Circuits and an average 1,6 Prc. His maximum Prana is thirty-eight.
SPELLS[/color]: //
One-Line Spells:
Areia. [Earth, Wind]
Rank: [E]
Cost: [6 Pr]
Range: 5-20 M
Effect: Prana accelerates wind to throw a handful of sand at a target with a 80 km/h speed, flaying its skin and potentially blinding it. A basic and useful spell, although heavy clothing might easily null it. On places where there are no sand available to use, Pedro uses one of the six vials he carries with himself all the time.
Three-line spells:
Terreno Enlameado [Water]
Rank: [C]
Cost: [5-15 Pr]
Range: 20 meters
Effect: The ground is infused with water particles and turns into a muddy substance in a 6 mt radius spread of the target. The affected area becomes difficult to move in, and by spending more Prana the effect can be strengthened as the ground starts to sink even more as the mud turns into quicksand.
Four-Verse Spell
Golem [Earth]
Rank: B
Cost: 30 Prana to create it, 5 Pr each minute it's active.
Range: N/A
Effect: The most powerful magic from the Madeira family, this Spell requires various preparations to make. After molding three hundred kilos of stone into a semi-humanoid shape, the user must concentrate a large quantity of Prana to keep it on a dormant state. While dormant, the word 'Met' is written on the forehead of the Golem. By spending 5 Prana per minute, the mage can activate the Golem, making the word on its forehead become 'Emet'. The Golem is strong and durable due to its constitution, but slow-moving and dim-witted. It can only understand simple commands like 'crush', 'take' or 'go there', obeying only its creator.
Chant:
"Gigante de pedra adormecido
acordai e sirva meus comandos
Vosso mestre te ordena, Escravo
Agora levantai-vos e obedeça!"
PLAYER'S NAME[/color]: // Terovak.
FACE CLAIM[/color]: // Dunban from Xenoblade Chronicles. Sans eyepatch though.
OTHER CHARACTERS[/color]: // None at the moment!
MISC. INFORMATION[/color]: // I guess that's all for now?.
