Martin Jogle

[Martin Jogle]

Name: Martin Jogle
DOB: 490AV (20 years old)
Physical Description:
Martin is quite small, only 5’3” and 90 pounds. He doesn’t have very much muscle, owing to a life of study and magic, not fieldwork or swordplay. Martin has a scar on his cheek following a traumatic experience when he was very young. He is clean shaven with light skin and short, dirty blond hair.
Character Concept:
Martin has a personality almost like a dog’s. He is very loyal to anyone who does him good and seems to almost live to please those people. The opposite is true as well, however, and he will hate those that do him wrong. He easily lives with a grudge, and will nurse the grudge until he gets his revenge. Martin is also quick to learn new things and is very inquisitive about the world around him, especially those that pertain to magic.
History:
Martin was born in Sunberth. Deeming this an unsafe environment for a young person to grow, his parents made hired two guards and made their way to Syliras when Martin was 6. On the way, they were attacked by a gang of bandits. His dad fought with the guards as his mother and him ran as fast as they could, but soon they and their guards were killed. The bandits were about to kill Martin too, when an invisible force blocked the bandits blow. A blast of fire took out the leader, followed in quick time by a bolt of lightning which took out another two bandits. The remaining 3 bandits ran for their lives, scared out of their wits and this display of magic.
An old practioneer of magic, Siralian, had been wandering by when he heard the shouts. He took pity on Martin, who had broken his ankle, and brought him back to Syliras with him. During Martin’s time with Siralian, Martin started to grow on the old man. Martin begged the entire time to be taught magic. He knew that he wanted to be able to protect himself and, hopefully, avenge his parents some day. With magic he could do that.
Finally, Siralian agreed to take him on as an apprentice, however he refused to teach Martin Reimancy. Instead, he taught Martin the art of Shielding and Glyphing concurrently, so as to protect himself against future threats. It was Siralian’s firm belief that one should never do something that requires so much concentration as manipulating Djed in a high stress battle environment. Magic should be channeled in glyphs to have maximum power. That way, you can take as much time as you need, and focus as much as needed, reducing the chance of overgiving.
Soon, Martin became competent at both Shielding and Glyphing. They soon grew a bond and Martin looked up to Siralian like a surrogate father. When Martin was 20, Siralian let Martin go, and gave him his own carving tools as well as some money and supplies. Martin then set off into the world, determined to learn new things about magic and fulfill his dream. He also harbors a secret wish to learn Reimancy, even though his master didn’t want him too. 3 years later, Siralian died of a heart attack, for all his magic he could protect himself. Martin was devasted but kept a positive outlook as much as he could. He resolved to please the goddess Rak’Keli and gain her Gnosis so that he could save people in the future.
