name: scorpius gender: male (he/him) age: 18 years old class: mage -> sage or warlock (proficient in reason and faith); myrmidon -> swordmaster or thief (side-promote) inheritance: morph blizzardheart (limstella); shandowflash, mortal coil (shez)

a quiet mage who looks ready to survive for months on end in the wilderness and emerge afterwards perfectly pristine. though he speaks in a straightforward manner for the most part, he has his moments of cutting sarcasm. very analytical and pragmatic when approaching situations, to the point where he comes off as cold and unfeeling; nevertheless, he does care for his friends and shows it through subtle and unseen actions. a mercenary who prefers to follow orders rather than lead his own band but can take command in an emergency.

being the son of an artificial human and agarthan vessel gives scorpius an... interesting outlook on what it means to be human. while he has less understanding of emotions than shez, he can identify them more easily than limstella can. because he doesn't always understand why he's feeling what he's feeling, he finds his emotions difficult to control and often has to ask both his parents for advice. he doesn't see his emotions as something that empowers him or an obstacle in the way of his optimal functioning; they simply are, and are a part of him. in his opinion, they don't make him any better or worse than either of his parents.

scorpius is unique for a mage in that he inherited limstella's ability to sense and identify quintessence. his quintess-sense is less refined than that of a morph, but this doesn't bother him. to him, shez's essence feels loud and vibrantly violet, tinged with the strange orange rays that signify arval's influence. limstella's feels like the bright, colorless undifferentiated essence of a newborn, but with the strength of a high-tier adult sage and faint red wisps hinting at their still-budding personality. his own essence is a calm, unyielding golden tinged with his parents' violet and crimson.

although scorpius specializes in magic, he also bears shez's talent with the sword. his fighting style is practical and elegant, with no movements wasted and energy conserved as much as possible. since he tends to prefer using magic over his blade, opponents on the battlefield often find themselves in for a nasty surprise if they get past his spells and into melee range, as scorpius is very fast, very strong, very hard to kill, and thinks your weapon triangle is stupid. he also doesn't have many compunctions about yoinking his allies' health to power his combat either (he's going to be healing it back up anyway, they can afford to lose a health point or two for a bit). ultimately, his best class is likely to be mortal savant, a combination of both of his strengths.

limstella was not impressed to learn that their son inherited his other parent's inability to navigate. scorpius frequently gets lost on his missions and has to have one of his teammates track him back down, which is part of why he prefers to be part of a team and not be the one to lead it. the few times he took on a solo job, limstella had to go looking for him and only ended up pinpointing his location thanks to their quintess-sense. scorpius himself finds this aspect of his annoying, but while limstella doesn't particularly like it either, they don't let it diminish their care for their son. besides, he almost always encounters something useful while lost and typically brings whatever it is back, if he can.
