Gilbert Grimwald
Appearance
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 36
Birthday: 13, Winter, 486 av
Birthplace: Zeltiva
Appearance: In a land filled with exotic species, Gilbert Grimwald is your average human being. His face is unblemished and his white skin has been slightly kissed by the sun. His hair is a long tangle of blonde that despite his young age, is showing signs of whitening and his pointed chin is cradled by a shaggy beard. His most distinguishing features are his magnificent blue eyes and his face which typically flaunts a smile that makes it seem as though he hasn't a care in the world. His body is thin and he is fairly tall, standing at an even 6 feet tall and weighing just 160 pounds.
Character Concept
Gilbert Grimwald is a jovial being, often finding the silver lining, even on the darkest of days. However, there is an underlying seriousness and hunger for knowledge that drives him. When not practicing Calligraphy, he is often found spinning a yarn or playing his Lute for the people of Zeltiva. Great Joy can be found in music but there is also sorrow and pain. Tapping into raw emotion through sound is truly inspiring.
However, behind his seemingly extroverted persona, there lies an introvert that hides his true purpose in life. A practitioner of Projection and Glyphing, Gilbert practices his art and craft in quiet, careful not to let word of these skills fall on burning ears. Afterall, his very existence depends on his silence and secretive lifestyle. Always on the search for individuals he can actually trust is a tiresome endeavor but true companionship is dependent on his vigilance.
Character History
Much of Gilbert's past life is shrouded in mystery, partially because he doesn't wish to share with others that his father was a wizard and his mother was a librarian and teacher. That alone would be enough to stir suspicion in the inhabitants of Mizahar.
What is known is his father was gifted with Projection and Reimancy. In fact, his father is the one who started Gilbert down the path of magic and began tearing his son's soul at a very young age, teaching him how to separate his astral existence from his physical one.
These basics would stick with Gilbert, even after his father was exiled into the Wilds. But his training wasn't even close to being complete. In fact, outside of the basics, it hadn't even really begun. He was devastated when his father was ousted and shunned, but one lesson was learned from his loss. He could never freely discuss his passion or newly obtained skills with anyone or he would suffer the same fate, perhaps worse.
His mother raised him with love while she continued teaching at the academy. She instilled in him a love for art and music and showed him the beauty that could be plucked from the darkness that weighed heavily on the hearts of others. Her love for Gilbert and for her city was what carried her through to her final breath, and with her passing, her loss was felt by all. Yet, with her final chapter, came Gilbert's first. No one knows what the future holds for him, not even himself.
