B A S I C I N F O

I'm this many years: 23

I love teaching: Equestrian Studies
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some people say that: I'm friendly and have endless patience. While it is true I have a lot of patience, it is not endless and I do expect students to perform well in class. I know equestrian studies doesn't sound fancy, but when you become a mounted fighter, you will be glad you followed my class. That said, you can go pretty far with me before you go too far. Of nature I am a calm man and I love taking time to do things properly. I'm also a tidy person, I like to keep the classroom as well as the stables neat and clean. But I got people for that so students will only do it for curfew or if disciplinary matters are required. I prefer calm people as much as I prefer calming music, blame it on me owning the hot springs nearby. It is important to me that people feel comfortable around me and perhaps can destress.

I stand at an impressive: 1 meter 70

Well my story is: I'll tell you just as I have been told by my parents. I was born in the highlands of a far-flung continent in the North. The only season we know there is winter. I was born on a particularly cold May 21st. A blizzard, worse than any they had experienced before, was blowing through the lands fiercely. Any unlucky ones that were poorer than the higher class were in constant threat to freeze to death. But where I was born it was nice and warm. The mansion on top of a hill not far from the nearest town. My parents owned that town and some others that were also found around the mansion. Our home wasn't easy to reach on the best of days, being tucked away in a dark forest, and this night it was impossible. As such, my mother had to give birth to me without medical help. All that could help her were our servants and my father. Of course a doctor had tried, though not because he particularly wanted to, it was more out of fear, but he could not even get beyond the forest edge.

Still, my birth went without much trouble. My parents weren't the kindest of people to be honest. But for me, their son, they were the best a child could wish for. I never wanted for anything. I had more toys than I could play with, more clothes than I could really count though I have worn all of them and the food was always first class. The people from the villages under my parent's rule were having it rough under them though and it wasn't long before I found out just how my parents managed to even give me this lofty lifestyle. I couldn't have been much more than eight years old when I happened to overhear some people talking badly about my parents. Of course I came forward and told them that they were ever so wrong! They weren't at all impressed and told me to open my eyes. That I didn't know how it was out there beyond the forest. The sad thing was, they were right. My parents had not let me leave the area at all yet. I was allowed to go into the forest, I wasn't at all kept inside and often loved riding my horse through the snow if the weather was clear.

But they always told me not to leave the forest and visit the towns on my own, they would take me there someday. Little did I know that was also to avoid the villagers acting out and go after me as an easy target. Still I got to see the towns when I was around sixteen years old. And I didn't at all like what I saw. The people were living in really poor conditions and many were sick and had no money to visit a doctor. My parents probably hoped that I would be like them, but instead I took pity on them. From that day on I made it my habit to sneak money, food and clothes to the villages outside the forest without my parents knowing, but when they did find out they wanted me to cease immediately and they sent me away to live with my uncle much closer to the South. That was my first experience with other seasons but Winter. Suddenly I learned what Fall was and Spring and even Summer. The temperatures and nature were so different, I much preferred my life with my uncle.

He was also the one that bred the horses that we were given at the mansion. I was forced to leave my horse behind when they sent me away, but my uncle gave me a new one. And not just any, but a foal, newly born and still getting to know the world. He was my responsibility and once he could leave his parents, I took care of him from then. Beautiful deep brown with white patches, my uncle called it a Pinto. I named him Storm and he has been mine since. He still is now actually, as are all the horses and the stables. My uncle passed away when I was twenty you see and I inherited his horses and stables. But I didn't want to stay there, I wanted to see more of the world and share all the knowledge I now learned about horses with others. So I sold the house and the stables and all horses except for Storm and I moved. With my uncle's vast inheritance that he entrusted me I started a new life far away from my home. I opened my own Hot springs in the mountains near the Enchant University which has gardens around as well where I grow herbs to create my very own products.

I made a name for myself as the owner of a great establishment where you can de-stress, take a hot bath and visit a place with a variation of treatments which are each great for one's health. It made me rich, even richer than I had been when I inherited my uncle's place and money, but the feeling of wanting to work with horses and share my knowledge never left me be. I bought stables and started to breed my own horses. The nearby school was looking for a larger variation of classes as well so when I read that, I decided to have a talk with the headmaster. I do have magic after all and practice it regularly so I wouldn't stand out at the place. That said I did let them know I wished to teach a non-magical class and explained my wish to share my knowledge about the Equestrian world. I'm happy to say they hired me! I am now their Equestrian Studies teacher and I do my job with love!

My trusty Golem: Frostwing, the Ice Phoenix <- I created this one when I was still a teenager back at my parents' house. His mana was merged with a body of snow and ice that I created with my hands as well as my magic. The result is pretty good, if I do say so myself.

I carry a: sword when I have to fight, but I prefer my magic.

During battle I often say: For the golems!

Or I might say: Do we have to do this now?!
