Age: 28
Physical Description: Jun is a human adult, standing 5’4”. She is wiry and fit at approximately 120 lbs. She has olive skin, dark brown hair ending just above her shoulders, and slight epicanthic folds over her dark almond eyes. Her face is squarish with a small chin. Her skin is dotted with battle scars, and her left arm is heavily bandaged due to an unknown affliction.
Clothes and Equipment: Jun possesses a vast collection of seeds, herbs, insects, and scrolls hidden in various pouches in her armor. These serve as reagents for her multitude of spells. Her armor consists of a customized, long-coat style gambeson that is stuffed with a matrix of seeds and plant fibers. Fitted on top is a set of brass-like, enchanted half armor (chest piece, pauldrons, and tassets) which gives off a warm aura. She has an open-faced, burgonet style helmet and coif of the same materials.
Her most notable "weapons" are Blackbean and Resonance. Blackbean is an elephant-sized demon crow which has served with Jun for many years as a mount and as a bodyguard. A minor enchantment allows him to disguise himself as a regular crow. Resonance is an azure blue longsword with a mind of his own. He can intercept minor attacks and can teleport to his owner. He can also use a personal reserve of magic to aid in the casting of a single spell.

"Hmm..."
Jun sat down next to Keph. She stared at the end of the wall, thinking.
"This is tricky... I've never seen an ability quite like yours. Hmm..."
Jun slapped her knees. "Story time." She said enthusiastically. "I used to know how to access a different dimension. It was a dimension kinda like the void but... different. There were creatures there that, arguably, didn't belong in this world. It was a very nasty realm, with some mostly nasty, but a few pleasant, creatures. About a year and a half ago, I made an important decision to shy away from those powers and follow a different path."
Jun turned to Keph. "Don't misunderstand me. I'm not saying your friendship with Rara is wrong, by no means. Actually, that crow on your shoulder isn't an ordinary crow. He's from that realm I was telling you about. He was a friend I couldn't bear part with from that realm, and he felt the same way. So I enlisted the help of a... a friend, to allow him to stay here."
Jun turned back to the wall. "Magic exists on a spectrum, with certain energies more closely related to each other. For example, water and ice, fire and lightning, earth and water to druid, and so on. There's a type of magical energy that is closely related to that dimension I was talking about. And I suspect that you could benefit from learning about this sort of energy, because it might help you better understand the creatures from that world. I still know quite a bit about it even though I don't use it as much anymore. Actually, I tend to favor the magic at the very opposite of the spectrum. Still..."
She turned back to Keph. "Would you be willing to learn about dark magic from me?"

Age: 18
Physical Description: Standing at 5'2 feet and sporting amazing snow white hair is the one, the only self-proclaimed Master Adventurer: Keph d'Avon. Many question how he'd get such an odd hair color and he isn't quite sure himself. No doubt some oddity related to all the magic in the world, as it surely isn't dyed. While Keph is no doubt a young lad, he looks young even for his age; maybe it's the lack of a beard or that soft, innocent look of his? His demeanor certainly does him no favors in people giving him less years than he's worth.
While Keph has a mostly innocent look that appears to be constantly surprised an enamored with much of what happens around him, it's clear that he's seen some battle. The back of his right hand has a scar that any keen observer would notice to most likely have been made by the swift slice of a blade, the fact that his skin is mostly soft and untarnished makes it only easier to spot this out of the blue. Surprisingly, as innocent and soft as Keph appears he is actually quite athletic and his small size no doubt betrays these physical abilities!
_________________________________________________________
Clothes and Equipment: A dark brown cloak covers his shoulder, made out of a Platiusm he hunted himself and had an Isran tailor make out of its pelt. The cloak's hood was lined with a variety feathers.
A few spines are still leftover from the prey’s hide, and stick out from his shoulders, the spines, on one side, stab through a glorious shoulder pad made out of an assortment of colourful feathers, stuck onto a thin layer of leather, keeping it all in place. On the other, you have a carved, wooden mask, made by the young man. It has a few more holes than one would expect a mask meant for a human to have, a result of the thin spines having stabbed through it to keep it from ungracefully falling off his shoulder.
Under his cloak, he wears a padded, blue cloth coat, recently extensively repaired, as he refuses to replace this trusty piece of equipment. Not only warm, but fashionable, and provides protection against some cuts. If it's too hot? A white, thin linen shirt is found beneath the coat.
The coat, as nice as it was, was partly hidden under a variety of knick-knacks, bags, and other useful travel equipment:
-A satchel, which hangs from his shoulder and crosses his torso, on the outside of it a few trinkets such as a necklace with a variety of beast teeth and also a bottle of ink, with a quill sticking from its cork;
-The satchel’s belt had been made to function as a bandolier, a set of inky, black… eggs hung from it;
-On top of it all, a finely crafted hunting bow found within a bow holster and a quiver, both crossed in the opposite direction as his satchel, doing its part to conceal his nice clothes beneath his disorganisation.
His legs are kept concealed and warm with a pair of beige linen pants which are kept up by a sturdy leather belt, on them one finds an even larger variety of knick-knacks and tools than his overused satchel - a sword, a dagger, pouches, more trinkets, a small hide pack hanging from the side, and more eggs.
One could only wonder why he needed half of what he kept.

Jun would have to wait for a moment before sitting down, as Keph would inexplicably being rolling around on the floor while grunting from the stomach pains. It'd be a while, but he'd finally settle down - at least for the time being. Keph would lie there listening to her words-of-wisdom while staring up at the white ceiling with an oddly nostalgic look in his eyes. While it was clear Keph was listening to Jun's story, his reaction was mostly just a mix of several nods and groans of acknowledgement.
It had been quite a long while since Keph had pulled Rara into this plain of existence and to be honest, he could probably count the amount of times they swapped places in his lifetime with the fingers on his hands. Yet even so, it was clear that he did have a great deal of adoration for his otherworldly patron, while it was impossible to tell Rara's thoughts, it was clear that Keph at least believed the sentiment was mutual.
His eyes would light up a bit at Jun's suggestion. The young lad would sit up, turning to her with a fairly surprised look before opening his arms and hugging her tightly. As his chin rested on his shoulder, his expression was oddly impassive lacking much emotion for an individual that several times tended to give exaggerated portrayals of his state; yet it was clear that expressive or not, he was feeling quite a bit of emotion deep down inside.

Jun would have treated Keph's stomach pain with a bit of light magic before proceeding to have their conversation. But it wouldn't have changed the flow of conversation much either way, other than reinforcing the notion that swapping planes of existance was taking a toll on his body, and that her offer of tutelage was definitely a good move.
Then came the hug, which of course Jun reciprocated. "Uh, aww, alright. I can do hugs."
When they let go, Jun also said, "I can try to teach you about light magic too. It might improve your vitality a bit and help you deal with with the strain. What are you doing the rest of today? Or would you like to put off your lessons for another time?"

Keph rubbed his nose and sniffled lightly when the hug eventually parted. Keph wasn't really aware how much magical potential he really had, but it was likely that even if he lacked any at all his connection to Rara would likely allow him to act as a beacon for the being's powers, essentially using him as his own.
"Keph wandered here by accident, so he has nothing planned at all for the rest of his day. Keph is grateful for this opportunity." He wrote in an even quicker pace than usual and his excitement was palpable! He eyed Jun from over his notebook with a look of strong determination.

"Alright. Then the first thing we shall do... is get something to eat. I haven't eaten all day and it looks like you could use a meal. We can talk along the way."
Jun got up, and then extended a hand to help up Keph too. If he agreed she would lead him out of the room and back into the hallway. As they walked towards the elevator, Jun started putting her thoughts together.
"So, I think the most important thing to remember about dark magic, is that it isn't evil. It has a lot of users that are evil, but it isn't evil in and of itself. Hold on."
They approached the brass covering. Jun slid it open and had them enter the room. "Culinary research room, please." The brass cover slid back into place, and once again they began moving. "So... this part's a little complicated. You see, light and dark energy resonate with certain feelings and psychological states. All elements do. Darkness isn't about evil, or even malicious thoughts. It has more to do with your connection to your internal self. Introversion, introspection, self-centeredness, selfishness. These are things that are natural to everyone, and aren't evil. They're just a part of life. Light energy is more extroverted, more closely related to your connection to the outside world, to other people and other things."
The elevator stopped, and the gate opened. Here was another hallway with more casual mages and sorcerers. The people here had an easy vibe to them. They wore less armor, used simpler staves, and weren't as stern looking. Many of them were gathered around one particular room. There were too many tall people for Keph to get a clear view inside yet, but there was a warm, pleasant spell emanated from this room.
"You'll like it here. But it's a bit of a line. Anyways, darkness is closely related a person's sense of identity, a person's uniqueness. And it's that same sense of self that drives people to find and befriend things that are, well, different, like Rara or Blackbean. It's what makes you want to be a non-comformist, you could say, to reject the natural order of things. And like I said, these are natural feelings that everyone experiences to a point. That's why learning some degree of dark magic might, I dunno... lubricate your passage into the void, for lack of a better descriptive term."

Keph rubbed his eye and sniffled one last time before taking Jun's hand and getting on his feet. He was still a tad weak from his voyage, but he could at least walk now. The fact that they were using the elevator also put Keph a bit more at ease, as he wouldn't have to strain himself.
While he was listening to Jun, he was a bit out of it. Not that it mattered much, anyway. He didn't really care about all the scholarly nonsense about what magic was what, really. He'd figure out on his own! He was certain that he was good enough to deal with anything Jun threw at him.
The young lad was in quite a bit of awe as his eyes scanned every bit of the Enclave he could see as the elevator moved. He hadn't gotten to experience the sights that Rara had. It was odd, it was clear that Rara could see what Keph saw, but it didn't seem like Keph could do the same. Yet even in his tired state and distraction with the impressive insides of the Enclave (which while he kept telling himself was too much he was unable to contain how impressed he really was) he was catching parts of what Jun was saying. It didn't sound like what Rara was, but trying to learn these types of magic might in some way help him figure more our about Rara.
Again, Keph's eyes would wander about as the elevator stopped while he and Jun continued walking. When Jun put 'Rara' and 'Blackbean' in the same sentence he began to wander just what was so impressive about the bird, yet he was too tired to ask and as his stomach suddenly grumbled he also realized he was too hungry to ask either.
"...lubricate your passage into the void..." Keph chuckled quietly at Jun's choice of words...

Jun's face turned slightly red. "Yah yah I could have said that better." She said with a sigh.
When the room finally opened up, it was revealed to be a hybrid cafeteria and magical laboratory. There were lots of varnished wooden tables and benches spread throughout the large room. Many of these had a pit in the middle with a glowing purple light, giving off arcane energy. Over the top of these pits were metal grills upon which the local mages had placed various magical implements. These ranged from mundane but shiny looking pots and pans to bizarre tanks and large beakers filled with an unknown liquid.
Jun led Keph past most of these and straight to the back, where there was a long table filled with bizarre, but (mostly) delicious, looking plates of food. A very conspicuous sign hovered over the top. It said "Successful Experiments: Safe to Eat!" It appeared this was where most of the mages in line were headed, although a few brave souls walked over to the experimental tables to see what wonders and horrors were being produced.
"Try these if you want something sweet. They were made using fruit grown in my tribe." She pointed to a platter stacked with colorful cubes. These cubes were mostly translucent. Some of them glowed, and some had swirling, opaque patterns within them, like a lava lamp. No two looked alike; they were all as unique as an expensive marble collection.
"Or maybe this if you want something healthier." She pointed to a rather mundane looking platter of what looked like pickled, chopped up cabbage, carrots, onions, and other vegetables, next to some pork cubes.
"I haven't tried those yet. Those look interesting." All there was to this last platter was a pile of black, porous-looking balls. They looked like they could either be some sort of dry cookie or perhaps black pumice stone. They didn't very look edible at all.

Keph poked Jun's arm and chuckled teasingly at seeing her face slightly flush - he was no doubt amused by her slip.
His eyes went wide as they entered the cafeteria, he couldn't care less if the place was also a laboratory and what kind of mystical magical super advanced food they were serving. All he cared was that it was food - hopefully the delicious kind, but he wouldn't complain.
As Jun lead him further into the back of this bizarre mix of cafeteria and Keph could not stop looking about and licking his lips even as they passed by the vats of odd goo. As Jun got to the 'successful experiments' group, she might notice that Keph had already filled his plate with something... something which most certainly was not taken from the 'successful experiments'; he must've taken it from the experimental plates but when he had wandered away to grab that was left up to Jun to figure out.
Yet, Jun was about to learn that Keph's stomach was a horrifying beast in its own right, as even with all that experimental food that he got gods know when he'd still fill his plate with more every time Jun suggested something he'd take that something and stuff it in his plate. It quickly got out of hand, yet, when he was finished he'd follow Jun to a table - time to eat!

Jun, for her part, took a bit out of all three trays. When she saw what Keph had taken, she went wide-eyed. "I've... definitely never seen that before."
This was odd considering it looked like a perfectly ordinary hamburger. Perhaps Jun could sense something that Keph couldn't?
She led Keph to an experiment free table so they could sit down and talk once again. The first thing she took a bite of was the bits of pork and pickled cabbage. "Mmmm..."
Then she inexplicably started chuckling while staring off at nowhere in particular. "Oh my god that's so cute!" There was was nothing cute where she was looking. "Echem, sorry." She turned back to Keph.
"Anyways, The first thing we should do is figure out your affinity, if you have one, towards any of the elements. If it's dark, then the next steps will be easier. If it's something else, we'll have to build our way there. The hardest is if your affinity is light, but it's still doable. After that it's a lot of meditating, some exercises, and a few... well, some interesting tasks. You could call them games, I suppose. But, generally speaking, you have to learn to look within yourself and explore your deepest emotions and desires, your inner world, and then resonate that tendency with the energy around you. I think our end goal should be to get you be able to surround yourself with a dark aura, just enough to help you slip into the void, and back out."
Jun next took a bite out of the colorful cubes. She seemed distracted for a moment. "What is this? Huh... Do I know what this..." She shook her head again. "Sorry. Anyways, there's an added bonus. Doing this sort of training might help you talk to Rara more easily."
Assuming Keph had started eating his hamburger, this is about where his circulatory system would appear through his skin in brilliant, rainbow colors. His eyes would also glow, the colors ebbing and flowing through the spectrum of known colors. Interestingly he would not feel much of anything aside from a very mild and easily restrainable desire to dance.
"Huh, neat." Jun said flatly, entranced by the pulsating color flowing up and down Keph's carotid arteries.

Age: 18
Physical Description: Standing at 5'2 feet and sporting amazing snow white hair is the one, the only self-proclaimed Master Adventurer: Keph d'Avon. Many question how he'd get such an odd hair color and he isn't quite sure himself. No doubt some oddity related to all the magic in the world, as it surely isn't dyed. While Keph is no doubt a young lad, he looks young even for his age; maybe it's the lack of a beard or that soft, innocent look of his? His demeanor certainly does him no favors in people giving him less years than he's worth.
While Keph has a mostly innocent look that appears to be constantly surprised an enamored with much of what happens around him, it's clear that he's seen some battle. The back of his right hand has a scar that any keen observer would notice to most likely have been made by the swift slice of a blade, the fact that his skin is mostly soft and untarnished makes it only easier to spot this out of the blue. Surprisingly, as innocent and soft as Keph appears he is actually quite athletic and his small size no doubt betrays these physical abilities!

Clothes and Equipment: A dark brown cloak covers his shoulder, made out of a Platiusm he hunted himself and had an Isran tailor make out of its pelt. The cloak's hood was lined with a variety feathers.
A few spines are still leftover from the prey’s hide, and stick out from his shoulders, the spines, on one side, stab through a glorious shoulder pad made out of an assortment of colourful feathers, stuck onto a thin layer of leather, keeping it all in place. On the other, you have a carved, wooden mask, made by the young man. It has a few more holes than one would expect a mask meant for a human to have, a result of the thin spines having stabbed through it to keep it from ungracefully falling off his shoulder.
Under his cloak, he wears a padded, blue cloth coat, recently extensively repaired, as he refuses to replace this trusty piece of equipment. Not only warm, but fashionable, and provides protection against some cuts. If it's too hot? A white, thin linen shirt is found beneath the coat.
The coat, as nice as it was, was partly hidden under a variety of knick-knacks, bags, and other useful travel equipment:
-A satchel, which hangs from his shoulder and crosses his torso, on the outside of it a few trinkets such as a necklace with a variety of beast teeth and also a bottle of ink, with a quill sticking from its cork;
-The satchel’s belt had been made to function as a bandolier, a set of inky, black… eggs hung from it;
-On top of it all, a finely crafted hunting bow found within a bow holster and a quiver, both crossed in the opposite direction as his satchel, doing its part to conceal his nice clothes beneath his disorganisation.
His legs are kept concealed and warm with a pair of beige linen pants which are kept up by a sturdy leather belt, on them one finds an even larger variety of knick-knacks and tools than his overused satchel - a sword, a dagger, pouches, more trinkets, a small hide pack hanging from the side, and more eggs.
One could only wonder why he needed half of what he kept.

Keph cocked his head as Jun's surprise. What had she never seen before? His food? Was it really that surprising that he liked to travel on a full stomach?
He pulled a chair back and sat down opposite to Jun, he uncharacteristically waited for Jun to take the first bite before digging in himself. Some might say this was a smart move, after all it allowed him to see that this food had odd effects on people witnessing it first had on his tutor. But Keph didn't really care, the act of allowing her to take the first bite was meant to show gratitude and he wouldn't even wait for the effect to kick in for Jun before he began monstrously ravishing his meal.
A little of this!
Munch, munch, munch...
A little of that!
Munch, munch, munch...
Some more of this!
Munch, munch, munch...
And a quick swipe of something off of Jun's plate...
Munch, munch, munch...
The young lad was certainly quite the eater, he had taken quite a lot more on his tray than Jun and already he had dug through... what... half of it all already? More impressive was likely the fact that these all supposedly had magical effects, some of them experimental! One of these effects would have already kicked in as his skin began to glow in a multitude of colors and the rest were still to be seen... yet he didn't notice nor would he have cared as he just continued to nonchalantly devour away.

Age: 28
Physical Description: Jun is a human adult, standing 5’4”. She is wiry and fit at approximately 120 lbs. She has olive skin, dark brown hair ending just above her shoulders, and slight epicanthic folds over her dark almond eyes. Her face is squarish with a small chin. Her skin is dotted with battle scars, and her left arm is heavily bandaged due to an unknown affliction.
Clothes and Equipment: Jun possesses a vast collection of seeds, herbs, insects, and scrolls hidden in various pouches in her armor. These serve as reagents for her multitude of spells. Her armor consists of a customized, long-coat style gambeson that is stuffed with a matrix of seeds and plant fibers. Fitted on top is a set of brass-like, enchanted half armor (chest piece, pauldrons, and tassets) which gives off a warm aura. She has an open-faced, burgonet style helmet and coif of the same materials.
Her most notable "weapons" are Blackbean and Resonance. Blackbean is an elephant-sized demon crow which has served with Jun for many years as a mount and as a bodyguard. A minor enchantment allows him to disguise himself as a regular crow. Resonance is an azure blue longsword with a mind of his own. He can intercept minor attacks and can teleport to his owner. He can also use a personal reserve of magic to aid in the casting of a single spell.

Since her main meal was that of the pork and pickled cabbage, this is likely what Keph would swipe.
Its effect was rather benevolent actually. The first thing Keph would feel was a strange sense of deja vu. Suddenly everything would feel familiar to him, as if the dining hall had been his childhood home. Next, he would start to envision himself frolicking in a field. That sense of deja vu, it wasn't related to the dining hall anymore, but rather to this bizarre vision. There he was, frolicking in a field, surrounded by... rabbits?
There were dozens, perhaps a hundred of them! And they were all hopping around, chasing his toes with their little paws, and frolicking about as they waited for the fistfuls of stale bread which Keph was about to feed them.
As soon as Keph swallowed, the vision would end.
"Neat huh?" Jun grinned as she took another bite. "What it does is it lets the diner experience the happiest memory of the chef. I think he grew up somewhere in Tawakoshi, on an island where lots of fuzzy bunnies live."

Keph swiftly shook his head, snapping out of the daze that had put him in. Yeah it was neat, but it was also really, really weird. Yet, he quickly recovered and got back to devouring his plate. At this point Keph himself had become a heavy mishmash of magical effects. His skin was constantly changing color, his hair grew longer and then shortened back, limbs appeared to elongate before shifting back to normal, his ears had become pointed, and at one point he even burped a bit of fire (that luckily got nowhere close to hitting Jun or really anything else). After all this, he was finally done - maybe not full, but he was at least satisfied with the huge meal.
After waiting a bit for all these magical effects to subside and being fairly amused by the shifting color of his skin (which he'd only now noticed) he'd finally write a new message for Jun: "Keph is done with his meal. Rara doesn't sound like anything miss Jun has described, but he can certainly try."
Keph put down his notebook and lead back into his seat, sighing happily at his hunger finally dying down. He was unable to recall the last time he had such a good meal!

Jun shook her head and chuckled. She ate her meal patiently while waiting for Keph to stop looking like an acid trip.
At Keph's new message, Jun nodded. "That's fine. And it's good that you're asserting that Rara is unique. That's the sort of attitude you need to learn dark magic. It's a very, me me me sort of element. You'll probably become rather conceited by the time I'm done with you. On the flip side, I've found that charity work and helping others strengthens your bond with light energy. I can teach you that too, but maybe some other time."
When both sides were done, Jun stood up and waved her hands at the plates. They began to levitate into the air, and then they sailed on their own towards the nearby busboy, who nodded in appreciation as the dishes landed on the cart. "Let's head back to the training room." Jun said.
As they got up and started to head back, Jun turned to Keph. "So tell me, have you ever had any sort of experience with magic?"

Keph cocked his head looking a tad confused. Was it that odd that he was asserting Rara was unique? It was, after all. Not that this was the point he was bringing up - Rara just neither felt Light nor Dark to him. It felt more like utter mayhem instead of one specific brand of magic... or maybe said mayhem was its brand of magic? He wasn't sure, he was never good with all this scholarly nonsense. All he knew is what it felt like to him.
A large belch was let out and Keph rubbed his belly in satisfaction. The young lad quickly hopped onto his feet, clearing his mind of any pesky thoughts. He nodded towards Jun and marched after her in an exaggeratedly silly way.
On the way there, Jun would ask a question: Keph's immediate reply was to shake his head. He wasn't even sure he had ever really met a magic user that was able to do anything more than parlor tricks either. So aside from swapping places with Rara, he was definitely sure he'd never used anything himself.

Jun brought Keph back to the training room, past the battle-hardened mages. A few of them recognized Jun but didn't know where the strange boy had come from. They raised their eyebrows a bit as Jun lead Keph back into the chamber. She started rummaging through her things until she pulled out a scroll, a big one which unfurled into a large, concentric seal on the floor. "Do me a favor. Stand on that would you?"  |

Again, Keph followed along. His eyes briefly scanning the battle hardened mages, smiling and waving at them as they wandered back into the training room. He watched closely as Jun unfurled a scroll onto the floor with a large seal drawn on it, without another thought the young lad hopped onto it, grinning and giving Jun a thumbs up. After a moment though, he perked a brow and looked downwards at the symbol not quite certain what this was all for, but oh boy was he excited to find out!

As soon as he stepped onto the paper, two of the eight symbols began to glow. This wouldn't mean anything to Keph.
But apparently, it meant a lot to Jun. For when she saw the symbols glowing, her eyebrows furrowed and she stared.
"Huh... that's interesting. It says you have an affinity for both light and dark. Either that or... no it couldn't be."
After a few seconds, Jun folded her arms sort of stared at Keph's chest, in thought. Then, as if snapping out of a very serious sort of trance, she seemed to perk up a bit. "Have you ever heard of chaos energy before?"

As those sigils began to glow, Keph furrowed his brow turning in place to see if any others would light up... but they oddly did not! This left him a tad anxious as he had absolutely no clue what any of this meant, he had no experience with this kind of stuff!
He looked up to examine Jun's face and... at least for now, it was leaving him a tad worried! Her expression didn't make things seem good at all.
He shook his head at her question. It felt far closer to something that could describe Rara than "light" or "dark" but he definitely had no clue what the term itself meant and had never really heard it before.

Jun of the Celadine
Widely Known
Roleplay posts: 1,410
Age: 28
Physical Description: Jun is a human adult, standing 5’4”. She is wiry and fit at approximately 120 lbs. She has olive skin, dark brown hair ending just above her shoulders, and slight epicanthic folds over her dark almond eyes. Her face is squarish with a small chin. Her skin is dotted with battle scars, and her left arm is heavily bandaged due to an unknown affliction.
Clothes and Equipment: Jun possesses a vast collection of seeds, herbs, insects, and scrolls hidden in various pouches in her armor. These serve as reagents for her multitude of spells. Her armor consists of a customized, long-coat style gambeson that is stuffed with a matrix of seeds and plant fibers. Fitted on top is a set of brass-like, enchanted half armor (chest piece, pauldrons, and tassets) which gives off a warm aura. She has an open-faced, burgonet style helmet and coif of the same materials.
Her most notable "weapons" are Blackbean and Resonance. Blackbean is an elephant-sized demon crow which has served with Jun for many years as a mount and as a bodyguard. A minor enchantment allows him to disguise himself as a regular crow. Resonance is an azure blue longsword with a mind of his own. He can intercept minor attacks and can teleport to his owner. He can also use a personal reserve of magic to aid in the casting of a single spell.

"Hmm..." Jun scratched her head, folded her arms, and continued to stare at the scroll for a few seconds. "Hmm..."
Jun then turned to Keph's actual face, with a sympathetic smile. "Sorry, I don't mean to be rude. It's just that, I guess it's time for another story. Oh, where to begin..."
Jun reached out a hand, palm face up, towards Keph. A spherical cloud of sparkling lights appeared and danced around the center of her palm. Then she held out her second hand. Jun seemed to strain. She strained very hard. Finally, she closed her first hand into an angry fist, extinguishing the lights. In her other hand appeared something like a flame, but pitch black. The flame also gave off no heat.
"Light and dark energy are equal opposites. They're special, at least in my tribe. A person who can use both light and dark magic simultaneously is only born once every few hundred years. They're known as a chaos mage, because the level of control they have over the elements is, well, chaotic. They are also usually instigators of great change, which adds to their namesake since change is more closely aligned with chaos, and stability with steadiness, or stagnation depending on your point of view. A chaos mage's magic has a unique energy that can touch all the spectrum of elements. All magic is kind of the same to them. It has something to do with a chaos mage's sense of self too. They're usually... um... very enlightened people. It's how they can talk to all the elements, if that makes sense." She pointed to the scroll. "The tell-tale sign of a young chaos mage is having an affinity for light and dark simultaneously, which is otherwise very rare."
She put her hands down. "My grandmother was the last chaos mage. So I know quite a bit about them." She raised her hand and grinned. "Don't get ahead of yourself. You're not a chaos mage. If you were you'd have a strong affinity for magic from a young age. You'd probably be throwing fireballs just out of instinct. You'd probably be even stronger than me already. But, your friend Rara seems to... how do I explain it? It eats all magic, and that weird beam it fired, it didn't seem to have any particular affinity. So I think Rara might be related to chaos energy. It's sort of a... a universal affinity. I think Rara is causing you to have this alignment."

Keph
Dedicated
Roleplay posts: 227
Age: 18
Physical Description: Standing at 5'2 feet and sporting amazing snow white hair is the one, the only self-proclaimed Master Adventurer: Keph d'Avon. Many question how he'd get such an odd hair color and he isn't quite sure himself. No doubt some oddity related to all the magic in the world, as it surely isn't dyed. While Keph is no doubt a young lad, he looks young even for his age; maybe it's the lack of a beard or that soft, innocent look of his? His demeanor certainly does him no favors in people giving him less years than he's worth.
While Keph has a mostly innocent look that appears to be constantly surprised an enamored with much of what happens around him, it's clear that he's seen some battle. The back of his right hand has a scar that any keen observer would notice to most likely have been made by the swift slice of a blade, the fact that his skin is mostly soft and untarnished makes it only easier to spot this out of the blue. Surprisingly, as innocent and soft as Keph appears he is actually quite athletic and his small size no doubt betrays these physical abilities!
_________________________________________________________
Clothes and Equipment: A dark brown cloak covers his shoulder, made out of a Platiusm he hunted himself and had an Isran tailor make out of its pelt. The cloak's hood was lined with a variety feathers.
A few spines are still leftover from the prey’s hide, and stick out from his shoulders, the spines, on one side, stab through a glorious shoulder pad made out of an assortment of colourful feathers, stuck onto a thin layer of leather, keeping it all in place. On the other, you have a carved, wooden mask, made by the young man. It has a few more holes than one would expect a mask meant for a human to have, a result of the thin spines having stabbed through it to keep it from ungracefully falling off his shoulder.
Under his cloak, he wears a padded, blue cloth coat, recently extensively repaired, as he refuses to replace this trusty piece of equipment. Not only warm, but fashionable, and provides protection against some cuts. If it's too hot? A white, thin linen shirt is found beneath the coat.
The coat, as nice as it was, was partly hidden under a variety of knick-knacks, bags, and other useful travel equipment:
-A satchel, which hangs from his shoulder and crosses his torso, on the outside of it a few trinkets such as a necklace with a variety of beast teeth and also a bottle of ink, with a quill sticking from its cork;
-The satchel’s belt had been made to function as a bandolier, a set of inky, black… eggs hung from it;
-On top of it all, a finely crafted hunting bow found within a bow holster and a quiver, both crossed in the opposite direction as his satchel, doing its part to conceal his nice clothes beneath his disorganisation.
His legs are kept concealed and warm with a pair of beige linen pants which are kept up by a sturdy leather belt, on them one finds an even larger variety of knick-knacks and tools than his overused satchel - a sword, a dagger, pouches, more trinkets, a small hide pack hanging from the side, and more eggs.
One could only wonder why he needed half of what he kept.

Keph sat down in the middle of the scroll with a perked brow as Jun's expression turned fairly odd and seemingly nostalgic. This certainly wasn't like the Jun he'd seen so far or well, not the one he'd experienced for their short time being in acquaintance - it did remind him a bit of when he found her lying outside.
He watched the sphere pop up and subsequently die with Jun clenching her fist in anger. It was safe to say, that he wasn't at all aware of what was going on in her head at that point. The story she'd soon give him gave him some hints to her frustration at her lacking ability to maintain the sphere, but for now it wasn't anything substantial enough for Keph to understand his new mentor.
The story itself was an interesting one and at least she was being straightforward with it, he probably would've lost her halfway through it if it was filled with magical theory jargon. Oddly enough, Keph sighed in relief when he was bluntly informed he wasn't a Chaos Mage; magic was scary, there was no question of this, the only reason he was deciding to learn from Jun to begin with was to try and learn more about Rara and hopefully strengthen their bond, he didn't need to add the troubles that being a Chaos Mage apparently brought with it... yet...
...I think Rara is causing you to have this alignment...
His heart skipped a beat and he took a few moments to ingrain this information. I mean, the fact that Rara absorbed magic and appeared to be on a completely different spectrum was obvious to him but he never had thought about it and effects of his connection to Rara in detail. He knew that he could swap places with Rara but the information that Rara was directly influencing his alignment was... strange to him... it had never told him this. Yet, he was still determined and still felt an undying loyalty to his otherworldly patron. He clenched a fist before getting back on his feet and then gave Jun a thumbs up and a determined look... which was oddly adorable due to the young man's stature and innocent look.
