Name: Iris Kingsley
Race: Elf
Age: Iris is much older than she appears as she is an elf, in reality she is about 68.
Class: Mage
Description: Iris is very beautiful by societal standards, even for an elf, although her personality is more child-like and free spirited than elegant and proper. She has long, wavy, platinum blonde hair that cascades down her back to about two inches past her waistline. Her elven ears, strangely, are pointed downward rather than upward. Her eyes are a beautiful dark, shimmering golden color and are nearly always alight with an untameable fire. Her skin is like delicate porcelain, reminiscent of the soft glow of the moon in a clear night sky. She stands at about five feet ten inches tall, and her body is slim but curvy. Generally, she either wears Elven-made half tops (as illustrated in her character picture), or tight black turtlenecks depending upon the weather, complimented by jean pants and mocasins.
Equipment: Iris's equipment is standard civilian fare; a backpack to hold her things, a small pocket knife, and a sketchpad with art utensils.
Abilities: Iris has many magical abilities, although her energetic personality gives her a particular affinity for lightning. She is a powerful spellcaster with a very good sense of control over her power, able to create a tiny zap to prod someone who annoys her or a massive bolt of lightning to char her enemies to a crisp in equal measure. Her ability is not limited just to the powers of lightning, however. She is able to harness the power of life around her to heal the recent wounds of her allies, and is precise enough with a jet of fire to cauterise open lesions if the former option is inadequate. In addition, she can trick her enemies with clever illusory tricks in order to avoid capture.
Personality: Iris is very free spirited, speaking her mind when she wishes, how she wishes. She doesn't mind anyone around her as long so they are either nice or keep to themselves. She's quite bubbly, often very excited at the most insignificant things, giving her a child-like quality. This has resulted in her being considered, at least to those who know her, an adorable girl in need of protecting, although such an assessment is far from the truth.
Flaws: One of the worst things about her free spirit is that she is easily angered, and her temper can easily become explosive. This has been known to get in the way of the task at hand. Another flaw is her fear of guns. She realises, unlike many mages, that she's not, in fact, immortal and bullets have the ability to maim or kill her. Wielding a gun just doesn't suit her, and so she has the impression she can't win against them.
History: Iris could not have grown up in a place more suited to her free spirit than Berlin, the Flux State. Her parents were mages, athough in contrast to her they were more attuned to fire than lightning. When she discovered her affinity was to lightning, she was sent to her aunt to study and learn to wield her ability properly. Her upbringing was a fairly happy one, although there was some degree of struggle. When the war broke out against the corporations and news reached of people disappearing, Iris decided it was time to become as inconspicuous as possible, which was rather difficult considering her bubbly personality. As things got even worse, the idea of assisting the anarchists occured to her, although she would not be spurred into action easily.
