[Fantasy] Bryce Finley

Name: Bryce Finley
Age: 12
Gender: Male
Magick Element: Earth

Appearance: A young boy with just under shoulder length blonde hair that is parted to one side. It frames a rounded face that smiles easily, with green eyes, which most describe as being 'cute'. He is losing the baby fat of childhood, and starting to grow at an alarming rate. Presently he stands at 5'1". His skin is neither tanned nor pale, but somewhere in between.
He wears almost all browns and greens, usually a brown button up coat over a green tunic, brown cloth trousers and boots. He also wears a long mossy green scarf around his neck.

Personality: Surprisingly mature for a child of 12, he occasionally shows signs of insight and understanding well beyond his years. He is intelligent, inquisitive and can get very excited over things that interest him. Unlike some his age, he does not have a tendency to complain when uncomfortable or under stress - and actually, he excels in those situations.
Most of the time he is very trusting, friendly and open to suggestion, unless he comprehends some ill will or intent. But generally he can be manipulated if the person responsible is not inherently 'bad'. To attempt to do so can backfire however, if he realises what you're up to. As he makes friends easily, he also makes enemies easily.
Full of energy, enthusiasm and a joy in life and nature, he is an asset most underestimate.

Talents: Apart form his wielding of Earth magick, his talents lie in his personality and character to an extent, in that they are exemplary for a child of his age. He carries no weapons or staff, nor would he know how to use them let alone be able to carry anything more than a dagger or short sword for extended periods of time. He can dance and sing very well indeed, as well as play the lute, harp and piccolo.

Background: An orphan from the age of 2, he was taken in by the courts and trained as a dancing boy for the entertainment of the nobility and their guests. Gaining the favour of one of the nobles, who had no children, he was adopted as his son. He later learnt to sing and was instructed in several different instruments, performing to the delight and acclaim of all who saw him. Being now part of the nobility, he was given an exemplary education under some of the best tutors in the region, in everything from mathematics to writing, and even a little philosophy. Recently, after having reached the age of 12, he has been allowed to pursue his own interests outside of his father's household - as an adopted son he is allowed freedom to go his own way should he wish, his father recognising the need not to stifle Bryce and potentially foster resentment.
