**"H...Hello. I'm sorry if I'm a bother..."**

Eri is half-demon and half-human. He loves his parents very much but doesn't take pride in what he is. He's always been the lone child until his mother adopted Lion into the family. He would be the younger one of the two.

He's a socially awkward child who has a hard time getting along with others due to his own fears and low-self esteem but he does try.

At a very young age, he gains his powers which his mother named "Illusions" They don't actually know his capabilities or what kind of magic it truly is. His father was strong but doesn't have the magic powers to use illusions so it left his parents confused. Even so, his father taught him well and he is able to control his powers well enough. The only problem now is with his emotions.

Eri wishes to grow up strong and brave. Be mature and be able to protect those he loves and people. He wants to be strong like his father.

## Powers

Eri’s power is **“Illusion”**. That was what his mother named his power since that was what it seemed like to her. He is able to make illusions of things that he’s seen before or of his own creative mind. Eri could also draw and bring those to life. His illusions are tangible but in the end, they’re still illusions.

 * If Eri loses concentration, the illusion automatically disappears.
 * He has a hard time making illusions if he’s panicking or nervous.
 * The bigger the illusion, the less time it stays visible.
 * He’s able to keep the illusions however long he wants it but it drains him heavily. After a complex illusion, he would sleep for a few days to regain his energy.

## Backstory

The last day Eri could remember of his father was his back as he walked far into the horizon and never came back. He would remember his mother’s cries and the empty casket that was placed carefully into the ground. That day it had rained heavily as if to cry for the empty emotions Eri had inside him but couldn’t comprehend. Ever since that time, Eri’s mother, Annelle, raised him up all by herself.

DEVELOPING MAGIC...

At a very young age when he started to be conscious of his surroundings, Eri developed magic. Weird colorful things would fly around his room. Some would be the same as the creatures or plants in the picture books that were read to him. When still alive, his father taught Eri how to slowly control his powers. When they were drawing or reading for fun, Eri would make illusions to amaze his parents. It was his pride and joy. When his father died, Eri was able to make an illusion of his father and have him keep him company during the night. Annelle wasn't sure what to make of it. Figuring that Eri's emotions were all over the place, she wanted to help her son recuperate. To continue helping Eri practice his magic, his mother decided to continue to teach him after his father’s death, but she could only teach him what she knew since she didn’t possess any magic.

FINDING A NEW FAMILY...

When Eri was eight years old, he and his mother were out in the city to shop for food. That day, Eri wandered by himself in the city and had gotten lost. There he met a white stray cat that was thin and worn out. Eri picked up the cat and fed it food and water then took it along with him all day. His mother, who was looking for him frantically, finally found him sitting on a fountain. Eri later asked his mother if he could keep the cat and was permitted so. Not knowing that the cat could shapeshift, one day Eri and Annelle came home to see a boy with cat ears and tail. A lot of chaos went around and then finally Annelle decided to adopt the boy into the family. Ever since adopting him, they gave him a new name “Lion”.

HEADING FOR SCHOOL...

The family of four were living peacefully and happy. Eri and Lion quickly got along and were like brothers. One day, Annelle heard that there was a magic academy open for all children from lands and worlds all over who had magical powers. She found that it was the perfect place where Eri would be able to mature his magic and make friends since he’s always been alone besides with Lion. But Eri didn’t want to go. He felt that the children there wouldn’t like him very much because of what he was. This saddened his mother but she still wanted him to go. To compromise with Eri, Annelle decided that Lion could go with him to attend the magic academy. She also told him the many things he could achieve in school. With that, Eri decided that he would go to school but that didn’t mean he wasn’t nervous. This would be the first he’s ever going to school.
