Isaac Dykes

Isaac Dykes is one of the four members of the active adventuring party on the continent of Kyllambria. He comes from a family of hunters, living in a village very near the city of Vinoveritas. He himself trained for the better part of his teenage years to become a hunter himself but due to an incident where he got in a fight and awakened magical powers, in the process leaving the attackers near death. Scared of his new powers and how people looked at him he decided to become an adventurer to learn to better control his powers. He uses primarily long range spells, though he still has his hunter training and as such can fight with knives, shortswords and bows, even if he prefers to use his magic.

## Backstory

Born in a small village near Vinoveritas, Isaac spend most of his early years mainly keeping to himself, reading up on things that interested him and learning his father craft. Most of the villagers preferred not to interact with him as to not upset his father as he was a powerful man, who most of the village people would rather not incur the wrath of. As such Isaac grew up without many friends, except for an unlikely companion he gained after one of his father's business deals- Lucius Valerian. Being the only child in their families and having a small age difference they became fast friends, met quite often and even kept in touch during Lucius' time in the army. Things were going good for Isaac as he had everything he would want- a loving family, a great friend and a promising future as a hunter. This however changed one faithful day as a group of boys, barely older or just as old of him, had grown resentful and decided to attack him. In fear knowing he couldn't beat all of them, especially without a weapon, he unknowingly awakened a power he had. As fast as they tried to attack him they were on the floor twitching in agony due to a massive burst of lightning originating from Isaac. In shock from both what he had done and the glowing blue tattoos on his arms, he ran home. There he explained himself to his parents as well as noticed a few more changes that came with his powers- his black hair had turned unnaturally white, his skin had become much paler than before and his eyes were now blue instead of green. In the following week Isaac gained a small amount of understanding of his new abilities but the damage to his reputation was done- the villagers who previously ignored him now looked at him in disgust and fear. Having had enough of this treatment Isaac decided that the at rate he was going he would not master his powers any time soon, so to speed up the process he decided to become an adventurer, hoping that he would learn more about his magic and how to control it. His parents understood his decision and gave him some money to buy necessities from the nearby city- Vinoveritas. There he encountered Lucius, who had also decided to become an adventurer. The two caught up and decided it was best if they traveled and fought together. After the events of the first mission in Seagate it was revealed that Isaac may have received his abilities due to a connection with Kruuknadir, the father of all dragons.

## Appearance

Isaac is 1.70m tall 17-year-old who is on the skinner side when compared to someone like Sif or Lucius. He has hair that is best described as "white as snow", a slightly pale complexion and light blue eyes. He wears a light blue shirt, with black pants and boots. He used to wear standard battle mage robes over them but due to the party's run in with the Order of the Phoenix, it is now a rag at best. He then substituted his robes for the cape of a knight, which he found in the house of the witches. Currently after the group's run in with Baba Zhaba he wears a much better version of his original robes which look the same but offer a lot more protection due to their magical nature.

## Personality

Isaac can be described as fairly knowledgeable and nice to most people. He generally tries to help the party in any way he can and prefers to spare his enemies if they are sentient but that chance seldom comes. He has also shown himself to be quite introverted and not rushing to meet and work with new people unless he has to. Despite this generally nice and calm attitude Isaac can and will enter into a bloodlusted, enraged state should his family be threatened or Lucius be seriously injured, as shown during the party's fight with the Order of the Phoenix and their fight with the assassin sent by lord Bairon.

## Relationships

### Lucius

Isaac considers Lucius his closest friend. He was the only close friend the young Dykes had growing up and as such He highly values both his safety and his opinions. He has agreed to help the young Valerian with any endeavor should it be in his power. Isaac agrees with most of his opinions on the current political situation in Lorminar. He also greatly enjoys whenever he is praised by him even if he doesn't say it.

### Chloe

The mage believes Chloe to be a valuable member of the party, but he has his reservations about her. Her general naivety is one thing that boggles his mind. Another is her psychotic episodes which lead to him preferring to keep his distance if he notices any signs of her losing control. While he sympathizes with her, as he also possesses a power he doesn't fully understand.

### Sif

The hunter turned sorcerer sees Sif as a liability at best, and a detriment at worst. Her idiocy and general tendency to do whatever she wants, annoys the young mage even if he doesn't say it out loud. Her actions have in Isaac's opinion not only endangered her unnecessarily but also the party. Her general remarks about him during the group's first mission also do no help her likability. He wishes for her death.

### Zander

The only son of the Dykes family sees Zander as a great contribution to the party. Joining them on their second mission he quickly proved himself useful due to his magical knowledge and his massive array of potions. He greatly appreciates how Zander combines his spells with his even if it sometimes does not help the rest of the party.

### Resistance

Isaac sees the Resistance as the rightful government of Lorminar. He believes them to be the best option for the country but that does not say much considering the other options. He respects Princess Leonor, for her title and her ambition to fix the country. However he has his reservation about general Leopold, as he observed his General disregard for human life.

### Black Brotherhood

The young magic user created much of his opinion of the necromancers during his conversations with Lucius. As such he views them as incompetent man-children that do not have what it takes to run a country. He is generally disgusted by their use of necromancy and amazed at their idiocy when it comes to decision making.

### Order of the Phoenix

While not possessing much of an opinion on them before the party's multiple encounters with them, Isaac now views them as a cult of psychopaths and fanatics that is by far the worst opinion for Lorminar. He also has a personal grudge against them due to the many burns he received while fighting them as well as due to the spell that was cast on Lucius that made him seem dead.
