## Alhanalem "Al" Amaran

Alhanalem Amaran is a 28 year old theoretical professor of physics.

He is known as a *theoretical* professor of physics, because his laboratory was destroyed in a brief - but very thorough - explosion; therefore he is only a professor "in theory".

Highly academically inclined, he still hopes to learn from as many great thinkers and teach to as many young minds as possible, even if he has no classroom to do it in.

## Notable Powers, Abilities, and Talents

### PhD in Alchemy, Ma in Arcane Arts and Sciences

*"Why yes, I AM Doctor! Oh, uh, no... Not that kind of doctor."*

Alhanalem is noted for his mastery of multiple scientific disciplines, with a particular focus on physics. His dedication to pushing the limits of knowledge of the physical world allows him to cast spells with a much greater finesse than normal. He can even change the nature of the spell(s) he is casting mid-cast, making him extremely versatile and unpredictable.

### Absolutely Zero

*"It is of course, not that I make things* 'more cold' *in fact, but that I simply make them* 'less hot'*."*

Through extreme effort and focus, Alhanalem is able to lower temperatures to extreme lows, even outside of a lab environment. Normal cryomancy usually only chills water to -10°C to create ice, but Alhanalem can reach temperatures -40°C or lower with much greater proficiency than most. This makes the ice chunks he throws considerably harder than the average frost magic user.

### Awkward, yet Lovable

*"I wish there was a book on this..."*

Alhanalem is very socially challenged. Although he is enthusiastically engaging with the world now that he is unemployed and out of the classroom, he has neither the training nor the natural talents to do so with ease. Thankfully, he is considered quite adorable in parts of the world where water djinn are rare which makes his awkwardness easier to ignore.

## Trivia

* Alhanalem is the youngest of five children and has four sisters. On Ijzeria, the fertility rate among intelligent species is remarkably low. This means Al has more sisters than 99.1% of the general population.
* Alhanalem's mother is the chief hydrological engineer for the city of Saha'i and his father owns the city's most popular beignet cart.
* Because many of his experiments can go quite awry, Alhanalem has had many more opportunities to become intimately familiar with Saha'i City's municipal security forces than one would assume at first glance. The police refer to him as a "repeat customer".
* The character of Alhanalem Amaran gets his first name from the character Alhanalem, a playable yuke magician from Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates. That Alhanalem's nickname is also "Al".
* His last name is pronounced "AM-UH-RAN".
