Aqihr
Aqihr Avington
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Preferring to spend his free time sprawling over pages of designs and science books, his physical fitness is not the greatest. His coordination is off in physical activities and he'll often trip over himself, however, when welding intricate pieces of metal and wire together as well as drawing detailed designs he is very precise and steady.
Identifying Characteristics
His eyes are what most people primarily notice about him (after his apparent difference with his family). While technically possible to have that colour as a mage, it is very unusual especially with his family, begging the question of who is his father.
Physical quirks
He's equally as good at using his left and right hand and has been since birth. Since a young age he was taught how to act and hold yourself as a member of the upper class so his posture and walking pattern account for that.
Apparel & Accessories
Due to his class, he will often be wearing a shirt with an embroidered waistcoat and a cravat. However, this is forced upon him by his grandparents and if given his own way he would be dressed in the first clothes he can find (as when he was a child). These clothes often become stained and ripped by his inventing and designing. Ink stains and welding burns are very common and his sleeves are always rolled up. Pockets are a necessity and the only thing he will insist on with his clothes. His trousers are often too short as he continuously grows out of them. Welding gloves and googles are a common addition to his outfit as well and random pieces of metal, wire and tools sticking out of his pockets. He has his reading glasses attached to a chain in his pocket because his grandmother grew tired of constantly having to buy new pairs after he loses them.
Specialized Equipment
He often keeps a couple of his most useful inventions on his person such as ----
Mental characteristics
Personal history
When the daughter of Lord Avington came back after 5 years with a child, never speaking of the father, it was considered a scandal for the Avington family. After her death in his 7th year, the boy was taken in by his grandparents to live in the family house, kept away from the prying eyes of the people. He was raised as the child of the house, yet it never felt like he belonged. The Avingtons were well known and respected for their strength in magic, and it was assumed that he would be the same. However, he never showed any indications of magical talents of his own and preferred to read books on science and technology, inventing a variety of different contraptions, although this hobby was frowned upon by the rest of the family. At the age of 18, his grandfather wishes for him to attend one of the universities, despite a lack of any magic abilities, intending to pay for the place.
Education
At 17 he's almost finished school and his grandparents wish for him to attend university despite his lack of ability. They stated that they will pay for his place and continue to bother him to decide on a course. His grades were exceptional in all subjects apart from magic in which he failed miserably.
Accomplishments & Achievements
Won an inventing competition against adults as a 10 year old by designing a mechanical -----, a contraption that is commonly used today
Failures & Embarrassments
No magic he ever does works and every time he tries it always ends up as an embarrassing failure. This causes him to get bullied at school and home as his entire family are powerful high magic mages.
Mental Trauma
He has very low self esteem and confidence due to constant reprimanding and bulling due to his interests and low magic
Intellectual Characteristics
Innovative and creative. Very good at inventing contraptions.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Dreams to finally be valued and respected as a great inventor. He also wishes to help those struggling due to money and lack of jobs, especially if that is due to having low magic as he has felt part of that struggle and realises that he was shielded from the worst of it.
Savvies & Ineptitudes
Extremely good at inventing, designing and creating contraptions, but is horrible at magic. Also is good at coming up with creative solutions to problems.
Likes & Dislikes
Loves reading; mainly science and technology but will read almost anything such as history, fiction etc. Hates formal gatherings and dinners and always tries to find an excuse to leave or not go in the first place but unfortunately these are a common occurrence with the Avington family.
Virtues & Personality perks
Patient (in certain circumstances), ambidextrous, very intelligent, creative, innovative, caring, empathetic.
