Age: 17
Sex: Male
Role: Necromancer
Appearance:
(He's of course the guy with white hair. We will get more into the girl later and duh they will not be wearing those clothes)
Sean is a tall youth at 5'10" and despite being a person more inclined to the darker side of magic, he does take pride in keeping himself in very good physical condition. His hair has been silver since childhood, the result of Sean drawing way to much magic then he should have and trying to do something that was impossible for even the best of necromancers. His skin is lightly tanned from birth, an inheritance from his mother and from his father, Sean was given his now lost hair color, and his height. Sean is known for his eyes which are hazel but highlighted in forest green.
The girl sitting next to him is Sahana Devestrum. Sahana is much shorter then Sean, standing at just about 5' and frankly she's about as flat as a board. Her hair has darkened to almost black over the past few years and her skin is likewise very tan. Though Sean and Sahana are in no way related. One very striking part of Sahana is her eyes which are a very deep red. She has been called a demon for these and while Sahana is certainly not a demon, she's not really human either, though we will know more about this later
Equipment:
Sean is lightly armed and really doesn't have anything for armor. He does however carry with him a good sized dagger. Sahana is perhaps more prepared to fight as she has a personal vendetta against someone, she carries a sword around and knows how to use it to some extents, she's no swordsmen though and she hates being harmed.
Sean carries a gold ring on a small chain around his neck. It is very precious to him as it is the belonging of his best friend from childhood who tragically passed away in an unfortunate accident involving a run away horse.
History:
Sean lived the vast majority of his life as a normal kid. Well as normal as a necromancers apprentice could get. Sean's mother Mrs. Deivel was known as a psychic who could summon past ancestors so people could pay their respects or have one last conversation with them. This is how his family got their living and how his mother intended to raise him to follow in her footsteps. Sean's mother was a very powerful necromancer capable of controlling an army of the undead. She however believed in using her powers for good and helping people come to terms with their pasts. And this is how she raised her son.
However, their peaceful existence would be very much uprooted and Sean cast out on his own because of his actions. See, Sean was close friends with a village girl by the name of Lilly. There were almost inseparable from birth as they were born within days of each other. At one point in time a marriage was even arranged between the two of them. Which made both of them very happy when they found out about it. However when they were both 11 years old Lilly passed away an in unfortunate accident. A peddlers horse had been spooked by a bee sting and it broke free of it's pen. Lilly was crossing the street and the horse of course didn't see the small child. He barreled right into her and knocked her down. There was a loud scream and then silence. The horse had stepped on her chest and broken a rib inward. The rib penetrated Lilly's heart and she died instantly.
Sean was overcome by grief and what was worse was that he had seen it happen. That night before any burring process could begin, Sean in his grief and rage stole his mothers necromancy book and chose two spells. A summoning of the dead spell and a rising of the dead. In Sean's mind he thought that if he combined these spells, then he could bring the original Lilly back. Any real necromancer would know that what is dead does not come back as it once was. However, be it through a stroke of luck or genius, Sean got his combination spell somewhat right. Lilly did come back to life, but not as Lilly anymore.
What had happened was that Sean had chosen the wrong summoning spell. Instead of summoning Lilly, he summoned the nearest restless spirit. This spirit was Sahana. Sahana was not an evil spirit by any means, she was a child herself you see. Sahana was the spirit of an 8 year old girl that had been kidnapped and murdered in a neighboring town 2 years prier to the events involving Sean and Lilly. She was a rather lonely spirit who had been spending her time trying to find the person who murdered her and figure out a way to kill him as revenge.
This was not all Sean did though, the summoning spell had a miner line to it that was optional, a binding spell. By a complete accident Sean had not only summoned the wrong spirit but he bonded his soul with Sahana's before forcing a very complex possession of Lilly's body. The spell took a very large amount of strength from Sean. So much so that his hair turned silver and he fell to the ground unconscious for the next week.
Sean did not awake in a manner that he could have even dreamed. He awoke in a small camp in the middle of the night and laying next to him was Sahana who he immediately believed was Lilly. He quickly woke Sahana up but instead of meeting Lilly's blue eyes, he found Sahana's red. To say he freaked out was an understatement. Sahana was a kind spirit and she tried to explain to Sean what he had done. However Sean wouldn't listen to it and began screaming and yelling like nothing else. Finally though he threw a pebble at her. Sahana was already crying herself as Sean had said some rather nasty things to her and though she would have left if she could, it was impossible because he had boned his soul to her's. The pebble Sean had thrown hit Sahana in the chest, right where the horse had stepped on and killed Lilly. Sahana froze, her eyes went wide in pain and suddenly she doubled over on the ground in pain. This made Sean freeze up. He couldn't get over Lilly's death and despite knowing that it was Sahana in Lilly's body, he didn't like to see her in pain. Sean very quickly returned to her side to check on Sahana who's voice was barely at a whisper now. She told him that he had bonded with her and that it was impossible for her to leave his side for very long. On top of that it was very hard to separate her soul from the body because of the complex sealing spell he had put on her. That being said, she felt all pain done to the body as it was now hers'. However it healed much more slowly as blood flow and immune systems were damaged in the hours the body had laid vacant from it's previous soul. She also told him how his mother had left him because of what he had done. What he had done to Sahana and to try to bring Lilly back was an evil use of his powers. She would hide him from the village but then she herself had to flee or risk being scapegoated by the town for the disappearance of Lilly's body.
Sean was crushed but over the next year he began to recover as well as come to accept Sahana, though he keeps Lilly's ring on a chain around his neck to this day. He has spent these last years traveling from town to town doing very much what his mother did for a living, however he has dabbled in the darker arts at Sahana's urgings and is rather efficient at controlling simple skeleton soldiers. As is he can control at most 5 of them at any one time. He is rather close to Sahana and she has voiced that she loves him several times now, but Sean is still very much conflicted about her and has yet to return her feelings much, even though thanks to his spell they are doomed to live together and the die he dies so too will Sahana.
Personality: Sean is a kind youth, though it may be hard to get him to smile sometimes. He is strong, both of mind and body, and really goes out of his way to help people if he can. He abhors thieves, and murderers, and really any type of 'lowlife scum' and this is mostly in part to Sahana's influence on him. One thing about Sean though is that he has very conflicted feelings for Sahana. Part of him does indeed love her as she has proven to love him, but at the same time he can't accept her because of not only what she is but because if his inability to look past the body that Sahana inhibits. He has seen Sahana's soul as he once did do a spirit reading on her just for kicks.
Skills:
Well raising the dead and communication with spirits for one :D
He has a level head and street smarts and is very good at talking his way out of many situations.
If kindness is a skill, he has it.
God/Goddess: Hashan, God of the Dead. Sean does not really have a direct relationship with him. He believes in the gods and worships them, but he is also very angry at Hashan for taking Lilly when he did. As a result he finds himself hating the God most of the time.
Strengths:
Literate
Kind
Good muscle build and can stand his own in fist fight
decent necromancer
Sahana is a decent swordsmen and frankly can not die (in the sense be separated from Lilly's body)
Weaknesses:
Sahana heals very slowly and can't be healed by a cleric.
In a sword fight, Sean is useless
Sean would do anything to protect Sahana. She is all he has left to live for in this world and he has told her as much.
Summoning the dead takes time and preparation to do it right. While it is possible to have some small summonings of pre reading skeletons or something, these are limited.
Fears:
Sean refuses to ride a horse, he will never do it and never wants to be around a horse if he can help it. Stupid but he is afraid of them.
Sean is afraid to do many of the larger more powerful necromantic spells. Necromancy is a dangerous thing and at high levels, sometimes it only takes one wrong word in an incantation to kill you in ways unimaginable to the human mind.
Though he won't ever admit it, he is afraid that somehow he will lose Sahana too. He has promised himself to never let it happen and as a result he is never separated from her. Though Sahana doesn't mind at all and likes to be close to him too.
Fun Fact: Sahana's body does not grow. As such she is stuck at 5' tall and fairly flat, and as a result she's a little jealous of other more developed girls.
