Powers:
This peaceful fellow has the ability to see the world the same way as omniscient narrator would - he knows almost everything about everything. This makes the conversations with him quite awkward sometimes.
Minoans - who lived ages ago at Crete, Greece - called him "Earthshaker", and he was associated with the sun and oxes. For them, he was the sun who should die every autumn, and so he would bring the spring again by being reborn. He was rather respected, as shown in all the ox and sun themed pieces of art that the Minoans left behind. But Ìlios is not very epic at all, to be honest.
Also, since he is the sun god, he reacts to the amount of sunlight and different seasons. His hair and eye color changes according to the seasons:
- ✿ Spring (passive): At Spring he is reborn. His hair is silver, yet his eyes are golden. Where he walks, the blossoming nature will follow. He cannot take them away, but he can control them.
xxxxxxx Non-passive: He can bring the spring here temporarily, but it will consume a lot of energy.
- ☼ Summer (passive): At Summer, his powers are at their peak. His hair and eyes are golden. In fact, his natural glow at summer is enough to heal others a bit.
xxxxxxx Non-passive: He can bring the summer here temporarily, but it will consume a lot of energy
- ☂ Autumn (passive): At Autumn he will eventually die. His hair is silver, and his eyes are golden. All the trees and such around him will get the autumn color and/or die.
xxxxxxx Non-passive: He can bring the autumn here temporarily, but it will consume a lot of energy.
- ❄ Winter (passive): At winter he is at in his weakest form, because he is "dead". His hair and eyes are silver. Blizzards follow him, and he is somewhat able to control them, yet not take them away.
xxxxxxx Non-passive: He can bring the winter here temporarily, but it will consume a lot of energy.
Weaknesses:
Firstly, Ilios is not allowed to abuse his abilities and change the way of how things should go, because he is supposed to take care of life. Thus, he is often not allowed to dangerously harm or kill any random humans or creatures (etc).
- ☄ Pacifist; Despite everything, he refuses to harm anyone. Let's forget all our arguments and go have a nice dinner, everyone.
- ☄ Darkness; When there's no sun, he will weaken a lot. This is why winter and even nights are no good for him. Being locked into a completely dark space will cause him to collapse and fall into a death-like coma.
- ☄ Amnesia; When killed, he will often lose his personal memory, which makes him relatively harmless. Not to mention that his memory isn't that good to begin with - he used to have random memory losses all the time.
- ☄ Sacrifice; Due to the fact that he doesn't die like most creatures, he tends to die for others' sake. And dying isn't exactly good for him, as mentioned above.
Weapons and Equipment: None.
Personality:
Ilios is actually very humane, and not very god-like at all. That is very common for the gods of his time in general, really. He makes mistakes. ..He actually screws up rather badly all the time. They should write legends about that instead. He's like a walking parody.
He tends to be rather laid-back, positive and calm, if possible. He loves nature, animals, good food and good wine. He is also nice and friendly towards most people, and he is more than happy to get someone to talk to once in a thousand years. However, talking to him can be quite awkward. Now, he can be very suspicious and awkward due to his habit of knowing a bit too much about your personal life and bringing them up in the most awkward situations possible. Kinda like your parents, who insist to tell about the most embarrassing childhood experiences of yours to everyone.
- ☄ Ἠέλιος ; Even though his people are gone, he keeps doing the job he was created for: He makes sure that the life keeps going on as it is meant to. Even though he is a warm personality, the sun is always somewhat distant and separated from others - not to mention that his job often creates conflicts. That is why his love/personal life is quite unsuccessful.
- ☄ Amnesia; When killed, he will often lose his personal memory. And as the sun he really does lose his memories once in a while, and then he will be completely clueless of everything.
- ☄ Communication; His communication habits might be a bit annoying though, because he randomly starts to tell pieces of narrator's text or delicate personal information, that is not meant for him to say. E.g. "The boy didn't seem to know anything about Ilios - that man was most likely a total stranger in his eyes. But oddly enough, that stranger didn't seem to be bothered by this fact at all. Actually, the man's greeting was very energetic and almost disturbingly friendly. HELLO~!"
History: His memory is indeed not what it used to be. However, he now recalls that he used to be the male god/deity of the Minoan culture, who died each autumn with the sun, just to bring the sun back at spring by being reborn again. It was honestly a hard job, dying every year and all that. He also had a wife once upon a time - the goddess of animals and the underworld.
- ☄ Minoans; Minoans were an ancient civilization on the island of Crete, Greece. Their culture has been always partly a mystery, due to the fact that many pieces of it are simply missing. For some reason their whole culture disappeared suddenly.
It is said that they mainly had female goddesses. However, they did also have Ἠέλιος, the only guy in the group. The people back then called him often "Earthshaker", and he was often represented by the bull and the sun. But the Minoan people had never seen the real him, obviously. Ilios was rather depressed by the fact that he just had to keep on doing his job - dying, controlling the sun, watching over people - even though they didn't even know who he really was. And the worst part? All the other gods/deities really were women. You might have an idea how terrible it can be, if you have lived in a house full of women. So, he left the other gods (and his wife) in the order to live alone, among humans. This, however, turned out to be the worst possible solution. Soon he got too close to the normal humans. He helped them while living a normal life there. And so, soon the Minoan culture started to bloom. At that time, it controlled the merchandise and business of the nearby areas. In fact, their wealth and stature was so acknowledged that they didn't even need any kind of protections systems or armies to keep themselves safe - the others didn't even dream of attacking them.
However, the other gods figured that Ilios must have broken the rules. He was not allowed to meddle with the humans so much. Even though he was just helping them - and in fact, he didn't mean to do that either - he was still punished for it. His fellow deities gathered together, and so he was cursed to death. However, since his death just leads to rebirth, he got stuck in the eternal circle of "dying" (which meant winter for him). And since he was stuck in the circle, unable to die completely, the Minoan culture was wiped off soon after he failed to be reborn and continue the time.
So, his mistake created a small apocalypse that killed the people he was protecting. He was also still cursed, and forced to exist in the state of dying without ever being born again. He suffered from constant memory losses because of the endless circle, which made him very unable to function normally. His identity got lost in this point, and he went by the name "Storyteller", because of his "omniscient narrator" abilities.
- ☄ Academy; Eventually he found his way to the Academy. As mentioned earlier, he got hired to be the groundskeeper there. The job suits him quite well, as his abilities can be used for small tasks like that job, too.
But one day he managed to anger a student by revealing too much of the student's personal history, thanks to his omniscient blabbering. The angered student, who suffered from mental issues, ended up killing Ilios before he mentioned any more delicate details.
However, dying was just what Ilios needed. He finally was able to die, and be reborn soon after. The curse ended to his death, and when he was reborn, he was back to his normal self again.

Occupation: Groundskeeper/servant of the Academy
Age: Unknown (Looks ~18.)
Grade: -
Height: 183 cm = 6'0"
Body Type: Slim yet decently fit. (Due to his work.)
Of what School of Magic are you?: Neo
Powers:
As his name implies, Storyteller's powers focus on stories. His world view is the same as the omniscient narrator's would be in stories and text; he knows pretty much everything about anything, about the events, objects and people around him. You could almost say that he really knows everything. He is the Narrator, after all. His skills don't have actual names, and they are not any kind of spells either - you could simply call them natural abilities of some sort.
- ❄ Like an Open Book; He is able to read the past of one's soul/character. Literally, if there is any past stories (e.g. the info in character profiles and role play posts) written about in any dimension or universe, he will see it, especially when he sees the person. This also works on objects (etc).
- ❄ And So the Story Continues... ; He is aware of every single thing that is happening in stories right now, and also perhaps in the future. The future, however, is very vague, and changes all the time according to what the souls do, so his foretelling is more like "options" for future, based on the current actions and events of the world. It is very easy to change the "future" that he sees by simply doing the opposite of what he just said. What he says, however, contains valuable information that can be useful in any kind of "future", so you might want to take his advice. He just states what the text tells right now.
- ❄ The Perfect Setting for a Fairy Tale; He is able to return everything back to normal. This means nearly instant clean-up and restoration of whatever is near him, making everything perfect and shiny again. Works on humans too, but a somewhat peaceful scenario is required to succeed. (Does not revive dead beings or completely unfixable items, though.)
- ❄ A Bedtime Story; He can make the nearby people fall asleep by telling a fairy tale. This can be resisted with very strong willpower, though. When this succeeds, the victims will simply fall asleep comfortably and wake up when they feel like it.
- ❄ Commercial Break? ; He can "stop" the story for a while. This literally freezes the time without anyone else noticing. He doesn't have the right to change the events much, as stated in his weaknesses.
- ❄ ????; Storyteller's only remaining hint of his own identity is rather odd: wherever he walks, the snow and blizzards usually follow. He is able to control and create them to some extent, but he is not able to take them away. He is kind of haunted by them.
Weaknesses:
Oh, this guy has lots of them. The price he pays is that he is not allowed to know about himself. Almost as if he has no identity at all - he has no idea who "he" is. He also loses his personal memory once in a while due to the large amount of information that he receives constantly.
- ❄ Amnesia; This poor guy naturally loses his memory once in a while because of the large amount of information that he receives constantly. Then he has no idea what just happened, where he is or what is he doing.
- ❄ Storyline; As a mere "Storyteller", he is not allowed to change the "storyline". He is not the author, thus, he cannot erase or change any of the "characters" of the story of life. This means that he is not allowed to kill or fatally harm anyone. You may ask his help and assistance, when he just will protect you and fight on your side; however, he is not allowed to play a major role in these cases, you have to be the one who executes the major blows.
- ❄ Mirror; He is not able to see himself in mirrors, which means that he cannot see or tell his own story either. Also, if you mirror his moves, it will daze him for some reason. It might be a part of some sort of "seal" that forbids him to know much anything about him.
Weapons and Equipment:
He usually carries a lantern or any other light source with him. It's not much of a help, though. He also might have a mop. It is a bit more functional in fighting scenarios. (Yes, a mop. I'm not kidding. Fear it.)
Personality: Storyteller's personality goes through constant changes, depending on the environment. When he loses his memories again, and again, he will wake up into new world and adapt to it. However, he still keeps some sort of "base personality" that never changes. He tends to be rather laid-back and positive if possible. He always keeps his love towards nature and good food. (See the other likes/dislikes below.) He is an excellent chef, actually. He is also nice and friendly towards most people, and he is more than happy to get someone to talk to.
- Communication; His communication habits might be a bit annoying though, because he randomly starts to tell pieces of narrator's text, that is not meant for him to say. E.g. "The boy didn't seem to know anything about Storyteller - that man was most likely a total stranger in his eyes. But oddly enough, that stranger didn't seem to be bothered by this fact at all. Actually, Storyteller's greeting was very energetic and almost disturbingly friendly. HELLO~!"
- Memories; He also completely loses his memory once in a while, as I mentioned earlier. In these situations he will appreciate it if the people around him help him by offering information.
History:
He woke up yesterday, brushed his teeth, dressed up and went to eat breakfast. It was a British style breakfast. He got ready on time and went back to work. The academy grounds sure are beautiful, but awfully hard to take care of for a gardener like him. Gladly, his abilities allowed him to restore the small areas near him in no time, even though that damned blizzard kept following him. On that day he also stroke an conversation with a random stranger who passed by to ask for directions.
Stranger: "...So I was in such a hurry that I had to skip the breakfast. That's why I also forgot the map."
Storyteller: "Oh, you shouldn't do that! Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. My breakfast today was deliciou-... Wait, what did I eat for breakfast again?" ...What am I doing here in the first place, actually? What IS this place?"
Stranger: "Uhh... You are working. This is the Dragon Isle Academy."
Storyteller: "Oh. What is my job, then?"
Indeed, this is his every day life. He loses his memories once in a while, and it takes a while until he is able to function normally again. He might be the Storyteller who knows almost everything, but the only thing that he does not know is his own identity (etc). This is why his early history is unknown - even he doesn't know who he was before he became a Storyteller.
- ❄ Because in fact, Storyteller has never lived or existed in the first place. He is someone who died before even being born, which made him nothing more than an odd, unfinished something; a narrator of all stories. (This thing is so complicated that I'll update this section later when it actually starts to make sense.)

Other:
- ❄ Appearance: Just like in the pictures, he has heterochromia eyes: his left eye is golden and his right eye is silver. His hair is also silver-colored. He has multiple outfits, and all of them are usually rather plain and simple. White shirts and that kind of stuff. He also is often wearing some sort of coat, since he knows that the haunting blizzards will be quite freezing sometimes. His shoes are also usually quite clean yet functional, so they are suitable for his job.
❄ Theme: [Music reference 1: Theme]
❄ For some reason he cannot be seen or heard on Earth by any normal humans or life forms. Spiritually exceptionally talented cases might see him there too, though. However, at the Isle he is very physical and visible and all that.
