Anthony

Saga (Former familiar, now deceased)

Aurora (Current familiar)

## Overview

Anthony Rumnaheim is a half elf divination wizard. He joined up with the Second Chance Society on the 19th of May, 99PT. He hails from the tundra, but spent his years studying in the mountains. He is not especially pious, but does worship and is Spule's champion.

He is a little bitch and I don’t know why people are so fond of him.

## Appearance

He is 6 foot 3 inches tall, and somewhat thin. He has light skin and long, dark brown hair, with a single streak of gold. He wears fairly simple but comfortable clothes underneath, all held up with various buckles and straps. He wears a distinctive coat - white with a blue lining, many pockets on both the inside and outside, and embroidered text along the collar in Dwarvish runes. The coat functions as his component pouch. At his left hip hangs a bag, in which his spellbook and various other things are kept. They wears a simple but well made necklace, made from braided black, brown and white cords, with three red beads and two feathers, the last remains they possesses of their former companion, Saga.

### Eyes

This bit has its own subsection for a reason.

Having lost his right eye, he has a scar across his right eye socket. His left eye remains intact. In its default state, his eye is brown. However, it no longer exists in this default state. Having gone through a ritual to bind his soul closer to his familiar, his left eye has taken on bird-like qualities.

Previously, he wore an eyepatch over his missing eye. After an... incident, in which he was harassed over it by a guild member, and it escalated into a death match on top of the skull on the guild building, Anthony asked Merrick, the blacksmith in Corr, to make him a glass prosthetic. This was his prosthetic eye for a long while, and mimicked the appearance of his left eye in its default state. This prosthetic was mundane and cosmetic only, until he imbued magic into it, granting him the ability to cast See Invisibility from it a few times a day.

Currently, he wears a different prosthetic - stolen by Morgan from the Scarecrow after the latter kidnapped the former. This eye, suspiciously, seems to be specifically made for Anthony. The iris of this eye is blue, and has changing shapes of various-sided die in the pupil. This prosthetic functions as something to see through, restoring his sight to what it once was.

## Personality and Behaviours

He is somewhat withdrawn. His speech is characterised by his ~~inability to make up his fucking mind about what he wants to say~~ frequent pauses, stops and starts. He's analytical, and prefers to think first, act later. He is also extremely risk averse, preferring to leave as little as possible to chance, almost obsessively. By extension, he very much feels the need to have control of a situation, and responds negatively when he does not have that control. Furthermore, he has developed a particular aversion to anything that manipulates his patterns of thought, or mental state.

He is, however, very passionate about certain topics, generally anything relevant to the study of magic. He is motivated by the prospect of learning new things and seeking knowledge, and can get excited when presented with it.

He enjoys drinking tea, and toast is his favourite food. He practices carpentry as a hobby. He is also a heavy sleeper.

## Backstory

He was born on the 28th of January, 81PT to two half elf parents. After his parents tried to raise him to take on the family business of being merchants along with his sister, he ran away at 19. He hitchhiked to the mountains, and was taken in by Udtryd Rumnaheim, who's name he would end up taking many years later. He stayed with her, keeping her company and helping around her home in exchange for tutelage. He quickly grew familiar with the theory of magic, but struggled with the practice - It took him 7 years or so before being able to cast magic. And, when he was finally able to do so, a misfired bit of fire magic in the wrong place, around volatile materials, caused an accident that cost him his right eye.

Udtryd had been, to his knowledge, focused on some mysterious project for some time - so, when he was asked by her to go join the SCS for experience, before he left, he snuck behind her back and copied down a scroll in some mysterious text he couldn't recognise or translate, vowing to himself that he would solve it.

## Notable Incidents/Actions

### Construction of the Board

After picking up the basics carpentry from Emery, and getting fed up with the lack of cohesion and communication among the guild, he constructed the SCS Notice Board. It's been through many iterations, but it's there to keep information flowing.

If you insult it to his face he will get extremely pissy. He'll take constructive criticism if you're nice about it.
