Owen Whately
Name:
Owen Whately
Age:
25
Magic:
Rapier Cast –
holder-type magic. It is the ability to create small, silver magic circles on surfaces or even in the air that link to one that forms on the tip of Owen's rapier, enabling him to project his blade through them. If he has multiple circles out, his rapier appears out of each of them. He can also make magic circles bigger, turning them black in the process, to make a larger rapier blade appear from them. By turning a magic circle yellow, he can project his entire arm through the magic circle, allowing him to fight remotely. One of his more recent feats is gaining the power to turn and move his magic circles while they're in use, allowing for infinite possibilities.
Magic Level:
A
History:
Owen was one of the first members of Frenzy Plant as a guild, as he joined during its first month, eleven years ago, at the age of 14. Since then he has steadily risen through the ranks, becoming a common and well-liked face in the guild, and a measure of its dependability. Before becoming an early member of Frenzy Plant, however, Owen was a boy with a mighty temper problem. This stemmed from his status as the third and youngest child of a farming family with three sons and two daughters. His brothers and sisters, though not malicious, were rough with him, and resentment of constantly being overshadowed plagued his childhood. After the age of ten, he took to getting attention by fighting with other boys and winning, partially due to his use of hardwood sticks. Still, it was never enough for him, and he remained sullen and fiery until his fourteenth year.
An old man came through the farmland one day, to watch a dozen boys taking turns duking it out with one another in their time off from the fields. Listening to their angry shouts and intimidating boasts with a smile, the man decided to challenge the boys to prove their strength by fighting him. Casting aside his staff and forgoing any use of magic, the old man easily defeated each hotheaded youngster. Owen himself was the first to take the challenge; he fought the fiercest, and lost the hardest. Afterward, the kids trailed away, hot and smarting and frustrated, all except for Owen. He remained, fascinated by the old man, and insisted on going with him. Saying goodbye to his parents and siblings, Owen left the next day, and thereby became one of the guild's first members, tutored by master Sanders himself. His initial plan was to become strong enough to beat Sanders and take his place, but Owen discovered after a while that he didn't enjoy becoming the strongest as much as he thought—and that he liked being a friend much more. Being surrounded by people who treated him without condescension brought out the best in him.
Personality:
Compared to some of Frenzy Plant's other members, Owen is not very quirky; in fact, he has been called the 'everyman' of the guild for his very average attitude. He generally wants the best for people, for them to live their lives happily and as they see fit. He is oftentimes distrustful of authorities, but not overly so. Criminals disgust him for trying to take advantage of other people, or for ruining the chances for them to have happy lives. He enjoys making people smile, whether doing things for them or cracking jokes, and is generous with his own belongings. Though not very artistic, he wishes to become more creative. It is a well-known fact that Owen is looking for love, but he is not very forward about it, trying to find 'the one' rather than constantly seeking insignificant couplings. He respects combat as an art, and likes learning new things about fighting.
Team Members:
Owen is a member of Team Cut Capers, along with Xyster and Demetri Argentum
Three Strengths:
1. Owen's respect for the art of fighting means he pays close attention. Expect him to pick up the techniques from others, even if just ideas that he can build on, and to learn from his mistakes.
2. Everyman – though not expressly desirous of people's approval, Owen generally tries to be liked by everyone, and makes it a point to at least try to establish a good working relationship with everyone in the guild. He'll show up to every meeting, every party, and every battle.
3. Physical prowess – it takes a lot to tire this man out. He exercises daily, both cardiac and strength.
Three Weaknesses:
1. Though physically powerful, a proficient fighter, and a master of Rapier Cast, Owen can be slow when it comes to other magic. Magics that target the mind or debilitate abilities, like psychic attacks and curses, are fairly effective on him.
2. His own magic is not very flexible. He can attack with his rapier in a variety of ways, but they're all still rapier attacks, and something that confounds one assault will confound them all.
3. Dyslexia.
Greatest Love:
Making people smile.
Motivation:
To become impressive enough, both with power and fame, for a woman to like him enough to become his wife.
Additional Details:
Has a fondness for chewing on plant stalks when bored. After resenting being called 'The Ox' one of the guild members painted a picture of an ox with a headband, forking hay with a tiny sword. That picture has since been stabbed, sliced, torn, oiled, burned, fed to a goat, burned again, and buried. Nobody has claimed responsibility for the picture.
