Rory Cooper

**Rory Cooper** was a commoner born summoner from the village of Robur who graduated from Vocans Academy.

## Physical description

Rory was described as having bright blond hair and blue eyes and that he spoke with an accent of a more rural upbringing.

## Personality

Rory appeared to be extremely cheerful and friendly, quickly befriending the other commoners and Othello. He was also the most hesitant in believing that Fletcher, Othello, Seraph and Sylva had betrayed them.

He cared greatly about his demon despite being told that it was the weakest species. He often played with it and was horrified when Malachi was injured.

He was also shown to be rather sensitive such as quickly becoming depressed when he heard that his improvement didn't mean his fulfillment level would go up.

## History

### Rory

Rory and his sister Daisy would be lining up with the other children in Robur to be tested by the Inquisition for any Summoners. Daisy was initially reluctant to go but agreed after Rory promised that they would go out and play afterward. Damian Rook and another Inquisitor named Charles would conduct the test. Daisy would come out negative, but when Rory was tested his results were positive, and he grabbed Daisy and ran away. He ran out of the village and hid Daisy under a rock, telling her that they were playing hide and seek and that she was hiding from their mother.

A Minotaur was soon sent after him and tracked Rory outside the village. He ran towards the border of Hominum and the Elven lands. The Minotaur was not allowed to cross the border and gave up the chase, but Rory was captured by an elf known as Dalia shortly after. When she questioned why Rory was in their land he explained that he was running away from the Inquisitors because he did not wish to be sent to the front lines. The elf explained that he would most likely be sent to Vocans Academy first as that was where they were sending summoners to be trained. Dalia agreed to allow Rory to go under the condition that he didn't tell anyone about her. Rory agreed and both went their separate ways, hoping that they meet again.

Rory decided to go back to the Inquisitors, and when he did they took him away. He was miserable, as he didn't have enough time to say goodbye to his friends. Rook and Charles sent him to Vocans academy, where he would be taught how to summon. He became fast friends with Genevieve Leatherby, another commoner from a small village south of Corcillum. They lived in the dorms for a while, until a fateful day. They were gifted their first demon. Rory was given a small mite, who he named Malachi. He named his mite this because his carapace was the color of malachite.

He became fast friends with the two new commoners, who's names are Seraph and Fletcher. He didn't take things too seriously, choosing to spend his free time in the nearby capital city, Corcillum. His mite was almost killed in the 1st tournament in which he participated. Not much else is known about his time at Vocans.

Rory and Genevieve were sent to the front lines, where they were excited to fight and defend their homeland. Instead they were used for Mana, which was needed to perform large shield spells. Unhappy with this arrangement, they left the front lines and went to go serve under Fletcher Raleigh, their good friend. They trained hard and long, waiting for the fight. Later, there was a massive army of Goblins, who attacked Raleighshire. Rory and his squad fought valiantly, but he was ultimately killed by the Goblins who hid behind the Phantaur. His name is engraved on a plaque in Raleighshire outside of the Palace.
