Witch

**Witches** are magical beings born from the unity of humans and fae in ages past. They are a majoritively female race and almost number more than humans in the current era.

## History

The first Witch was born millennia ago, when a human and faerie fell in love and bore a child. The child was mostly human in appearance and was born with the innate ability to use magic, something which was unheard of for humans of the time. Due to human fear, however, they were forced to hide amongst humans or driven away to live with the fae. Through the eras, Witches hid their talents from view, meeting in secret with others of their kind to commune with and practice their magic. Those who were found out by humans were believed to be cursed creatures and often slaughtered over fear of their powers.

After a great many centuries, the Witches to decided to hide no more and revolt against humanity. They were joined by the fae, who held their own grudges against humans, in a bloody war between the races. At first, the Witches and fae had the upper hand thanks to their magic. They slowly killed off more and more humans, culling their population to less than half of what it had been before. Towards the end of the war, however, humans were joined by the Eidolon, beings who were formerly Gods, and were able to reverse the tides.

Finally, the war ended proper once the Witches were forced to concede once they realized they were no longer on the winning side. The two races, alongside the fae, entered into a tenuous ceasefire. The Witches who were left separated from the human population and spread across the land, crafting their own civilizations where they would no longer need to live in hiding. Since then, interactions between humans and Witches have been few and far between, with any communication tense and brusque. Ultimately, though, each have decided the war is no longer worth it and peace has mostly settled on the lands.

## Overview

Witches initially have very few visual characteristics to differentiate them from humans. The more a Witch utilizes their magic, the further their body will change due to its influence. Most develop similar features, such as pointed ears and cat-like pupils, while others find themselves with more unique appearances. All of these features, unique or common, are invisible to those who lack magic.

While they are mortal, Witches are able to live for many centuries, possibly even into a new millennia with the help of their magic. This extended lifespan affects their bodies as well, giving them youthful appearances for the majority of their lifetimes. As such, any Witch who appears elderly is considered worthy of reverence and respect for the centuries they have lived. There have even been tales of the eldest Witches attaining Godhood through unknown means, although there is no evidence of such a Witch alive now.
Magician

**Magicians** are humans born with the ability to use magic. They are an incredibly rare blood, numbering only one in every one thousand of humans and as such have no real place in the world.

## Profile

Magicians appear no different than normal humans in all regards. Their only difference is their ability to use magic, which can influence their appearance over a long period of time. Otherwise, they are able to seamlessly hide themselves amongst a human population. They also live only as long as other humans unless they magically extend their lifespans. However, doing so is ultimately much more difficult to do than it would be for a Witch, so very few Magicians have ever done so successfully.

Unlike normal humans, a Magician who stays in the Fae Kingdom over a long period of time will resist the natural effect of slowly transforming into a fae themselves. This is thanks to their natural resistance to magic of all kinds, something they share with Witches. As such, magic of a passive nature has little-to-no influence on a Magician and transformative magics are equally as useless. The only exception is against the magic of Gods or Eidolon, who have a superior magic to that of mortals.

### Background

The first Magician was born only a few centuries after Witches. Initially believed to simply be Witches, these humans are in fact only magic-touched. At some point in their lineage, their bloodline came into contact with an incredibly strong magic, whether through a God or the fae. This affected their blood, giving them the chance to give birth to a human with the ability to use magic.

Magicians have had a variety of relationships with other humans over time. Some were accepted so long as they hid their magic, while others were shunned entirely to the point of driving them into isolation. A select few were instead regarded as prophets of the Gods and worshipped above the rest of humanity. However they lived, Magicians were an obscure blood and were known only as a folk legend by the masses at large.

During the war between humans and Witches, neither side would accept their assistance. Humans immediately labeled them as traitors and hunted them down. In turn, the Witches slaughtered any they came across the same as any other human. It was only thanks to the Gods' intervention that they are now able to live in peace once more. However, now they must hide their magic for fear of being killed by other humans as well as Witches. Most Magicians in the current world can only be found in complete isolation if they can survive long enough to find a safe place to call home.
Familiar

**Familiars** are creatures that can assist in amplifying and focusing the magic of a Witch or Magician through the signing of a magically-binding contract.

## History

Typically, a familiar is a fae creature, ranging from simple sprites to some of the most powerful fae in the magic world. A Witch will usually acquire their own familiar on their 50th birthday and remain together from then on. In some cases, the contract can be annulled by the authority of an elder Witch or a fae creature more powerful than the familiar.

In lieu of the fae, normal animals can also enter into contracts with practitioners. The animal must show an inclination towards magic, either through interacting with it or performing magic itself. In the past, Witches mostly contracted animal familiars due to the ability to hide them in broad daylight, but they have since fallen out of favor due to being considered lesser next to the fae, such as not living as long despite the contract extending their lifespans.

Magicians have always been forced to contract with animals due to the fae generally disliking them as humans. However, since the war, it has become even more difficult for a Magician to acquire a familiar as people have become suspicious of animals as pets. Any animal other than livestock that hangs around for too long is often either chased away or killed due to the overwhelming paranoia amongst the human populace that has accumulated over the centuries.
Ceinwen

* 16th

**Ceinwen**, formerly the *Red Dragon*, is an Eidolon who once reigned over Fire in ancient times. She sided with the humans in the war and has continued to lead them even after losing her Godhood. She moves continuously from one human civilization to another lending her aid.

Ceinwen has eyes the color of flames and wavy hair the color of sunlight which is long enough to brush the ground. Her fringe is cut straight above her eyes and she has a small braided strand on the right side.

She wears a long white dress with a ruffled off-the-shoulder neckline, a translucent white sleeveless undershirt with a high collar, a gold braided half-circlet around the back of her head, and a thick gold braided belt around her waist.

He later takes the appearance of a man with amber eyes with slit pupils and messy black hair worn in a low ponytail. He has sharp black claws, black wolf ears atop his head, and a long fluffy black tail.

He wears a black sleeveless turtleneck shirt, loose black capris, and a long red jacket with a gray underside worn on his shoulders. He adds a gold tassel earring in his left ear and a silver ring with a yellow topaz embed on his left hand.
Golden Oak School

**Golden Oak School** is a school founded by Aidan some time between when he's 24 and 65.

## Profile

It is located in the portside town of Ludivine. It is open to all children from ages 3 to 19, with classes being a mix of different ages. Adults can also attend night classes for an extra price.

The hours are 7am to 4pm with lunch at 11:30am. Students are allowed to leave the campus during lunchtime.

There are a variety of subjects taught here, including:

* Magic History
* Combat Lessons
* Medicine
* Cooking

### Story

The original idea for the construction of the school came from Mirabelle. She worried that Ezra would grow up ignorant of the world like she had. So, Aidan built the school and searched far and wide for suitable teachers, which was especially difficult for the subject of magic. Aidan invited Lilium to teach here as well, but she turned him down.

## Trivia

* Ezra was the very first student.
* Cora is considered the brightest student they've ever had.
Night's Shadow

**Night's Shadow** is a potion shop owned by the dark sprite Lilita. It mainly serves Witches and other fae, but the owner never turns down a potential client.

## Overview

The shop travels around the land via teleportation circles carved into the floor of the main room. The exterior appears as a simple single-room building constructed of dark wood. A chimney extends from the roof, connected to a small fireplace in the back room that acts as Lilita's bedroom. It connects to the main room via an open doorway in the back corner leading to a short hallway.

The main room is the shop area, which is lined with shelves of potions and other materials necessary for magic rituals. The potions sold here come in a wide variety- Lilita states the most popular are good fortune potions and healing potions. Other potions include sleeping droughts, strength-enhancers, and invisibility pots. Lilita also mentions that her potions don't react well to the human body due to the differences in the makeup of their bodies. However, she was still willing to sell a warming potion to Aidan despite the severe side effects it could cause.
Lilith and Eve

## The Legend

Only being brought up when discussing the creation of the world, the tale of Lilith and Eve is one that many people tend not to bother with in the current day and age. It is said that after creating the world, Lilith cursed humans with the power to use magic to wage a war against her sister, Eve. Because magic was not meant for humans to wield, those who Lilith cursed became mad and sick with stress. They slowly lost their minds, causing catastrophic magical destruction beyond their control, and ultimately had their bodies destroyed by the magic within them - usually taking out many innocents around them in the process. Eve punished Lilith by tearing her into pieces as she attempted to escape into a rift. Eve was forced to give her life to close the rift, as the magic that spilled forth was tearing the world apart.

## In-Story Mentions

* Alexander de Leveque suffers a strong magical affliction that he refers to as "The Hand of Lilith".

Leonardo van Ostrand

Leonardo is Arcadia’s Admiral. He is a rare sub-species of human that possesses animal-like features, known as Hybrids.

 Bio

Born in the icy north of Arcadia, Leonardo’s family moved to Khonsur once tensions began rising in the kingdom. However, Leonardo frequently returned as he grew older, opting to help solve Arcadia’s problems rather than run from them. He uses his high status to set a good example for hybrids, and to hopefully expel any myths about his race.

Leonardo has a protective streak a mile wide, often advising “certain artisans” to keep their noses out of trouble and let adults handle it. While he means well, Leonardo can also be rather condescending in his attempts to keep people safe. His ego compels him to assure others to leave things to “the professionals”.

## Relationships

**Alexander -** Alexander is Leonardo's closest friend. When in Arcadia, they are almost inseparable in their spare time. Because Alexander maintains some bad habits from his time as a recluse (such as not eating or not liking to be touched), Leonardo often brings Alexander lunch from the cafeteria so they can eat together. Leonardo also acts as Alexander's unofficial bodyguard, making sure that no one touches him.

**Esther -** Leonardo and Esther are very old friends from her time living in Arcadia. When Esther asked why he kept returning to a Kingdom that viewed him so strangely, Leonardo answered that he refused to run from Arcadia's problems - as he would rather brave the harsh judgments from its people, and hope he could one day help make Arcadia strong enough to fight back and secure peace. After speaking with Leonardo about these things, Esther was inspired to finally move back home to Mercia. They maintain a good friendship, and Esther affectionately refers to him as "the ambassador's lapdog".

## Trivia

* He appears to be quite egotistical, taking pride in everything from his strength to his looks to how many children he can give piggy-back rides at once.
* His biggest insecurity is people making fun of his eating habits, on account of the huge portions he eats.
* His greatest fear is blood.
* When he isn’t manning airships or leading armies, he enjoys gardening. He also listens to a lot of brass ensembles.
* Has been described as having the best, rock-hard booty out of the main cast because "he works out a lot".
* He is affected by catnip.
* His first name alludes to his hybrid status, and his surname means "from the eastern shore".
* He is asexual.
* His zodiac sign is Leo, appropriately.
* His MBTI type would be ESTJ.
Fae

The **fae** (sing. *faerie*) are a race of magical beings with the ability to wield magic in all of its various forms. There are many subspecies of fae which can be found all over the world, although they rarely appear in front of humans.

## Profile

### Background

Throughout time, the fae have normally kept to themselves, spending their time amongst each other and nature. Their interactions with humans grew less and less as human society evolved. Fae distanced themselves as science became more relevant than faith. As a result, the fae even became bitter and resentful of humans moving away from nature and magic, growing hateful towards the human race as a whole as time passed.

When Witches were born, fae came to them readily, enticing them to leave the humans and come live among the fae. The two got along well thanks to their magic connection and the fae grew to love and adore the Witches who cherished them in turn. Thanks to this closeness, the fae were easy to convince to fight alongside them against humans. The Witches used their grudge against humanity to persuade them to fully accept their violent tendencies and join the war. The fae were perhaps a more intimidating force to reckon with throughout the bloody conflict.

Once the Gods descended and sided with the humans, though, the war quickly came to an end. The fae lost interest in fighting anymore, having lost many of their own, and returned to their homes. However, with Witches free to live as they pleased now, they and some fae decided to create entire towns and cities to live amongst each other. As well, with the tenuous peace falling over the land, the fae decided to limit their interactions with humans so as to avoid any further conflict.

## Fae Subspecies

### Sprite

Sprites are known for their mischievous yet benevolent nature towards humans. They come in a variety of forms, each representing different attributes of the natural world which influences both their appearance and magic.

Unlike most fae, sprites don't look down on humans aside from seeing them as easy targets for their pranks. If their prank goes too far, a sprite will be more likely to apologize in some form rather than continue their assault. They will also assist a human who has proven to be kind or thoughtful towards nature, even in the event that pits them against other fae.

### Grimalkin

Grimalkin are cat-like creatures born from the resentment of cats who have been killed or otherwise died unnatural deaths. They tend to dislike interacting with others, fae or otherwise.

### Grimm

Grimm are creatures born from the collection of shadows. There are very few sightings of them near civilization and even other fae rarely see them. In these sightings, it's witnessed that they can take the form of both man and beast.

## Trivia

* Fae generally cannot be seen by humans without the use of a magical item.
* Most subspecies of fae show some sort of disdain towards humankind in general.
His Serendipity's Wife

**His Serendipity's Wife** (real name unknown) is a member of the Doomsday cult The Fellowship and married to the sect's guru. She has at least two children with him. She is taken into custody when the cult is disbanded and claims not to have known about the poison gas attack carried out by Quasar. According to Quasar, this is a lie.
Lilium

* 0th
* 4th
* 16th
* 23rd
* 65th

**Lilium Marie** is one of the main protagonists of *Budding Flame*. She is the proprietor of the Sanctum Archives, a magical library which resides in the Veiled Dimension.

She takes in the Magician Aidan at the start of the story after promising his dying mother to protect him.

## Profile

### Appearance

Lilium has amethyst eyes with slit pupils and long sea-colored hair worn up in a high ponytail. Her fringe is cut straight above her eyes and two strands frame her face. She has pointed ears and two translucent horns protruding from her head.

She wears a variety of clothing, tending towards long skirts and dresses made of high quality fabrics. Her outfits are mostly in hues of purple, blue, and green, and often sport flowers somewhere in the design. She can always be seen wearing a silver ring with an amethyst embed on her right hand.

### Characteristics

#### Abilities

**Magic**: Her primary magic affinity is Water, while her secondary affinity is Dark. Being a Witch, she is adept at casting magic. She has practiced to the point of being able to cast wordlessly, needing only hand gestures to utilize her magical abilities. She is also capable of casting extremely powerful spells given time and preparation. Her magic naturally takes the form of flowers, even without her intending to do so. When casting strong magic, her horns fill with aquamarine liquid and floral tattoos spread across her body.

**Floral Speech**: She has the unique ability to understand and speak to flowers. She can learn about her surroundings and recent events by listening to the flowers in the area. She is also able to ask them to keep an 'eye' out for her and give them direct orders in certain situations, such as defending her or slowing down pursuers. She claims that different kinds of flowers have different temperaments and must be approached appropriately to get information from them. Due to this ability, flowers will naturally point towards her.

#### Equipment

**Library Key**: The key to the Sanctum Archives. It allows her to open a door straight into the pocket dimension where the library resides from anywhere she wishes. She keeps it on her person at all times and has only given Aidan express permission to use it once. As the library proprietor, it is magically bound to her soul.

**Ring**: The amethyst on her ring can negate all other magic within a set area around her when she channels her magic into it. This anti-magic barrier lasts for so long as she concentrates on the gem. Any fae caught within also have their emotions quelled and become calm, and all magical objects become inert, including her key.

## Trivia

### Etymology

* Lilium means "lily" and Marie means "beloved."
Gods

**Gods** are beings on a higher plane of existence than both humans and fae. They typically don't interact with the mortal world, but a select few have come down from above throughout time.

## History

Gods have existed alongside the world since its inception. They are beings who rule over every aspect of the world, both natural and manmade. However, they are restricted from interacting with the mortal world proper by the Divine Laws. To circumvent this, they send subtle messages to their followers, often through visions or prophecies. If a God were ever to interact with the world personally, they would be stripped of their Godhood and become an Eidolon.

During the war between humans and Witches, the Gods initially could not intercede. However, as the human population slowly dwindled, some of the Gods decided to throw away their Godhood and descend to the mortal world. Upon coming to their aid, the humans reversed the tides of the war and pushed back against the Witches and fae. Thanks to the help from the now-Eidolon, the war eventually came to an end with a tenuous peace following shortly behind.

The Gods who had now become Eidolon remained on the world, wandering as outsiders amongst the races. Some went into isolation to continue their separation from the world, while others decided to stay with the humans and help rebuild their homes. The former Trickster God, Alina, was among the very few who took a neutral stance following the war, interacting with all of the races in equal measure in their new lives.

## Overview

The Divine Laws are the rules the Gods placed upon themselves to restrict their overwhelming power. This was mainly so the humans on the mortal world could shape the world with their own hands. A God can only influence the world in subtle ways, small interactions that can easily be misinterpreted by non-believers. As such, Gods also cannot be perceived by mortal senses and no one truly knows what any of the Gods look like.

Eidolons are Gods who have broken the Divine Laws, stripping them of their Godhood. They take physical shape on the mortal world and become free to roam the lands as they please. They mostly appear as normal humans with striking hair and eyes. Being former Gods, they also possess magic and can freely interact with all of the races without issue. Despite losing their Godhood, Eidolons are still extremely strong, both physically and magically, living for thousands of years and being nearly impossible to kill without the help of another Eidolon.

### Personality

She is shown to be rather rambunctious and playful, seen chasing Orla around in the yard. She happily greets Lilium when she visits and shows immense joy to see her great-grandmother, hanging off of Lilium the whole time she's visiting.

### Etymology

* Cora means "maiden" and Marie means "beloved."
Cian

* 16th

**Cian Marie** was the previous proprietor of the Sanctum Archives. He raised Lilium from childhood and later gave her the key to the Archives to release him from his contract.

## Profile

### Appearance

Cian had gold eyes and long, messy fiery orange hair worn in a low ponytail. He tied his hair with a black ribbon and his fringe partially obscured his eyes.

Emperor Theodoric Dareaurum Eberhart VIII

"Has anyone seen my son!?"

Theodoric Dareaurum Eberhart VIII is the Emperor of the Empire of Mercia.

 Bio

Theodoric inherited the Mercian throne and, unwittingly with it, his predecessors' difficult mission to eradicate all magic using individuals. He began his rule peacefully, as it appeared the combined forces of Arcadia and Mercia had dealt with the magic problem long ago. However, magic began to resurface seven years before chapter one, and now Theodoric struggles with how to proceed. He bears the burden of dealing with confused, stubborn politicians from Arcadia - as well as his own people, who just want to go to war with Arcadia. Amidst this all, he is truly trying his best.

As an emperor, he is hardened and straightforward. Theodoric is a fair ruler, but he is also firm. He will act in the way he sees most beneficial to the people of his empire, even if they disagree with him. He is not afraid to kick someone's ass to keep them in line.

> "He has a plan, and you WILL play your part. " -Chikuto
>
>

As a person, Theodoric is extremely friendly and paternal. He took in both Christian and Cog with little hesitation, and everyone in Mercia Fortress believes he is actually a huge softie pushover. In most friendly cases, he is.

## Relationships

**Boris -** Theodoric loves his son more than anything. He is an extremely proud father, much to Boris' embarrassment at times. Theodoric hopes to not leave a mess of political problems for Boris to inherit when he becomes emperor.

**Esther -** As his right hand, Esther is one of his closest friends. Because she spent a majority of her childhood growing up in Arcadia, Theodoric handpicked her to play the role as Mercia's ambassador to Arcadia in times of need.

**Christian -** After meeting Christian through Esther, he has become partial to the quirky scientist. He has even given him the gratuitous job of babysitting Boris, which can either be an honor or a curse.

## Trivia

* The blue gems he wears were gifted to him from Queen Adelle and her mother before her as signs of their (and by extension Arcadia's) trust in him.
* His friends call him "Derek" in informal settings.
* He has a very intimidating stare.
* He "man-flu's it hard".
* The name Theodoric means "ruler of the people" and Eberhart means "brave boar"
* His zodiac sign is Libra.
Ludivine

**Ludivine** is a small port city lined with rowan trees, which keeps them safe from the fae and Witches and has allowed the city to thrive. The city is best known for its large variety of fish found in the portside markets.

## Overview

The area around the city is peaceful due to being mostly cut-off from the outside world. Even the waters are rarely choppy and remain clear throughout the seasons. There is very little magic in the area thanks to the salt from the sea permeating the air. The people are hardworking and generally welcoming to outsiders due to the amount of sea-bound visitors traveling through the city. They don't pry into others' business, allowing Magicians to live in peace so long as they hide their magic abilities.
Hybrids

Named as such by humans, hybrids are feline-featured humanoids (although small subsets of hybrids exist, such as insects). They are almost indistinguishable from humans, aside from their larger size - although in extremely rare cases, hybrids are born with features such as tails, antennae, etc.
Many of them hail from Khonsur, though they have a growing presence in Arcadia. After hundreds of years of crossbreeding with humans, they have found it incredibly easy to blend in with human culture, and with their superior strength, most humans are happy to have them.
According to a census from each nation, there are only thirty pure Hybrids left.
Apoidea

**Rea Uryu** (生流怜愛, *Uryu Rea*?) was the younger sister of Kanade Uryu.

## Relationships

### Kanade Uryu

Kanade demonstrates his love for his younger sister by decorating her room with flowers and aiding her in numerous hobbies. Despite his strong affection for his younger sister, he is seen to have an obsessive and possessive relationship with her, viewing her as "beautiful and flawless" in his own eyes. At some point, Rea notifies her brother that she began to develop feelings for a boy at school after being invited to go on a date, which causes Kanade to lose his mind, believing that Rea would be "tainted and unclean" and that their relationship will be wrecked because of her socioeconomic standing. Kanade tries to reason with her as she runs away from him and insists that he let her free. She stumbles backwards after being freed from Kanade's clutches, leading her to fall from the building and finally smacking the back of her head on a stoned step before being cushioned by the bushes. Kanade rushes to her help, yelling her name, and Rea responds that she is alright, then informs him that everything is getting dark as her pupils fade away. Kanade considers calling a doctor to save her life but determines that she would be "tainted" even more by people like them. He plans to keep her corpse in a freeze chamber so that she can remain "beautiful and pure" to him. Struggling to cope with the knowledge that he has lost his only sister, he plans to end his own life in order to be with her again, until he is met by Meyza, the Angel of Greed, who gives him the opportunity to become God and see his little sister again.
The Hand of Lilith

"The Hand of Lilith" is the name Alexander gives to the magical affliction inside his body.

## History

Due to his fear of death, Alexander tampered with magic as a teenager. His meddling brought forth a terrible amount of magical power - and with nowhere to go, it buried itself within Alexander's body. Alexander cannot remember the events clearly, but his mother died in the commotion.

The affliction caused Alexander unbridled agony and hysteria for many weeks, until his body finally grew marginally accustomed to having such a vast amount of magic trapped within it. Already feeling the magic leeching at his life and his sanity, Alexander immediately began to seek help. He visited Amalric Kleinschmidt and begged for his assistance, but for unknown reasons, he was denied.

Afraid of being found out and executed, Alexander became a recluse - opting to live out his numbered days in loneliness, so he might at least research a way to quell the intense agony the affliction brought. Eventually, Alexander was invited to join Adelle as a member of her Five - and despite his affliction, he accepted. Alexander continues to keep the Hand of Lilith a secret, and tries his best to live one day at a time with it festering within his body - making him weaker, and bringing himself a little closer to death every day.

Alexander believes that with the fits of agony increasing in both rate and intensity, he has at most three years left to live.

## Form

For most of the part, the affliction lives unseen within Alexander. However, Alexander can manifest its power physically in the form of black, clawed hands that protrude from his back. They appear to possess substantial amounts of strength - shown when easily lifting Cog from the ground carrying him across a room.
Bartholomew

Bartholomew is a lieutenant in the Mercian military, and reports directly to Mercia's Emperor as the prince's bodyguard.

## Physical description

### Gender

Male

 Bio

Bartholomew is extremely apathetic, standoffish, and curt. He joined the Mercian army as a teenager, where he thought his apathy would become an asset - and perhaps it would be, if only he wasn't sent out to comfort orphans and grieving families. When he's not being forced to awkwardly channel his inner compassion, he acts as Boris' bodyguard whenever he leaves the fortress (or he would, if Boris ever notified him first).

Bartholomew is extremely patriotic. After dealing with many cases of people destroying Mercia in the name of Arcadia, Bartholomew harbors an extreme distrust for Arcadians as a whole.

Along with Franz, Bartholomew originally brought Cog to Mercia Fortress on the night of his family's death. He has since remained friendly with Cog, and watches out for him much like he does for Boris.

## Relationships

**Boris** - As Boris' bodyguard, Bartholomew is expected to accompany the prince whenever he leaves the fortress - although Boris has a talent for managing to slip out unnoticed. Bartholomew's duties also include training Boris to use firearms. Despite his difficulty, Bartholomew respects his prince, and will always try to keep him in line.

**Esther** - Bartholomew and Esther share a love of firearms and patriotism. They often practice together.

**Franz** - Bartholomew is Franz's superior in the military. When Franz joined the military, he was often ridiculed for his bleeding-heart attitude, until Bartholomew began to take on Franz as his partner for most missions. When questioned, Bartholomew will deny it has anything to do with pity, and refuses to say more. When the two are off duty, they are still always seen together.

## Trivia

* His zodiac sign is Capricorn
* His favorite food is sausage rolls
* His favorite thing is to be respected for a job well-done
Magic

***"Those who use magic -******an art most foul; an irrevocable, dreadful temptation that must not be exercised –******are slaughtered without question."***

Some humans inherit the ability to use a mysterious and destructive force, simply known as "magic". It is a well documented fact that those who exercise magic begin to act erratically, as the strain of a human using such a force slowly turns the user sick and mad with stress. Magic eats away at the user's sanity, sometimes without even exercising it. As long as it is present in a person, magic will steadily deteriorate their entire being until they are nothing more than a mindless, destructive time-bomb.

## History

No one knows where magic came from. It is believed that in ancient times, the Goddess Lilith fueled humans with her own power to lead a vendetta against her sister, Eve. The extent of having such an incredible power inside them caused humans to slowly succumb to insanity, and eventually die.

The Mercian Empire was the first to begin the slaughter of all magic users, once it was clear their continued existence and deceit only brought destruction and death. Throughout history, Mercia and Arcadia have slain each and every human that shows the capacity to use magic - along with their families, as magic is believed to be genetic. At one point, Arcadia grew tired with the slaughter and simply imprisoned magic users. As a result, Mercia attempted to take over Arcadia to bring the kingdom under its watchful eye. Arcadia has thus resisted, but continues to execute magic users in the name of peace.

## How it works

   Because magic is forbidden to speak of, and thanks to Mercia and Arcadia's genocide, most people go through life never meeting anyone who can use it. In addition, no one with magic inside them initially knows that they can use it.

Magic can be awakened if it exists within someone, usually by encountering something magical which will cause a reaction, or by having their magic "unlocked" with another person's own magic. Alexander uses this method on Cog when Cog claims he can't use it.

Because magic uses the body as a catalyst to take form, a person's mental state affects their magic's appearance and use. For instance, Alexander is a very cunning and manipulative individual, and his magic is shown to achieve things like manipulate physical objects (like locking doors). Because he is unforgiving and bitter, he cannot use magic to heal - unlike Amalric. His magic also appears purple - the colour of royalty and wealth.

## Story

For centuries, magic has been rare, and Mercia’s global conquest has been extremely successful. However, over the past seven years, there have been rumors and sightings of this power resurfacing at a worrying rate in the form of terrorists committing crimes in the name of Arcadia - and Mercia is unsure of how to proceed.
