Core Need:
Corresponding psychological maneuvers (delusions, obsessions,
compulsions, addictions, denials, hysterical ailments, hypochondria, illnesses, behaviors harming the self, behavior harming others, manias, and phobias): This character has some Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder with learning or educating himself to the point that he must do it as much as possible. While it is not SO controlling, he goes hungry or skips meditation to do so; he does not do activities such as socializing or other activities to offset the learning. When he discovers he will be a wizard, he is initially upset; however, it is a minor thing as he is soon looking forward to all the learning that will be needed.
Anecdote (defining moment): A defining moment for Zast is when he first began to read as a small Elf child. His parents read a scroll of a childhood poem. When they were halfway through, Zast started reading the rest of the poem himself. After this, his parents began providing scrolls to Zast daily for him to read.
History: When a private tutor taught Zast, he always asked questions. This was frowned upon as tutors were used to pupils to listen, not ask. They hired many tutors, and many left after a few weeks. When the parents felt they could do no more, an elderly Elf woman, Imizael, came to them and applied, stating her family had all moved away, so she had no one to take care of. Jastrina and Evindal were elated to have someone who wanted to watch little Zast, and they hired her on the spot.
         Time passes as Imizael and Zast become fast friends. They had a nightly routine of visiting a scroll repository, a stroll through the candle flies meadow, and home in time for freshly made biscuits, honey, and buttermilk. After they ate, Zast read the story scrolls to Imizael until the early morning before sunrise. She would bid him a sweet goodbye, see him tomorrow, and promise another trip to the scroll repository.
         Their familiar ritual would continue for years until Zast was ready for the Academy. A month before Academy was to start, Imizael did not arrive. Her absence was the first since the day she began. Zast and his parents became worried and visited her at her home.
         As they arrived, they saw a small cottage with a neat little garden with a white picket fence, a flowered yard, and a pink rocking chair by the front door. The inside curtains were drawn.
         Approaching the door, Zast is the one knocking. His knocking was one of urgency. Without waiting, he opens the door. The cottage was quiet. The parents knew immediately that Imizael had passed. They attempted to restrain him, but he rushed to bed before they could. He tries to wake her but cannot.
         After the body is burned, he goes to the Academy to begin study. He is more closed off than he used to be, quieter. He is afraid to make friends at first because he doesn't want to lose anyone again. Through time, he becomes shy and forgets about his fear. His quiet demeanor and studious traits are due to his love and devotion to Imizael.
         Due to the Magic of the Wizard Danduil and Zast's incredible learning capabilities, he is an apt student. While studying, he sees his friend Quinn needing his help. He goes to Daduil and asks what it means, and he is advised Quinn is the grandson of the tyrant King and is hunted. They do not know who he is, but that could change. Danduil also states he had placed a concealment spell over Quinn but doesn't think it will hold. Even though not finished, it is time for Zast to leave.
         Shocked and terrified, Zast states he hasn't been there for more than a month and hasn't done anything more than read a few books about theories of magic. Danduil reminds him of the time-dilation spell and looks into the mirror. To his shock, he has a trimmed beard and mustache.
         Asking how long he had been there, Danduil answered that only ten years had passed, hardly anything. However, he increased his learning abilities tenfold using Zast's abilities of learning and magic. He is ready to leave.
         First, he must be tested.
         Arriving at the testing ring, Zast is aware of a bright yellow ring around the circle. He instantly knows it is a magic null spell-canceling all spells going through and protecting all bystanders.
         He sees another elder on the other side. Snow Elf. Rules state that you meet your opponent first, go to your side of the ring, wait for the explosion, and then kill your opponent. Easy.
         As he began to walk to the center, Zast started to wonder which spell to use first and realized no spells were coming up. He begins to panic. Too late. Customary hello, then back to the starting place and wait. He was standing there waiting--big boom. Zast waits for the attack, and so does his opponent.
         Finally, the Snow Elf attacks, casting a Cloud of Darkness over himself so he cannot be seen. Then three fireballs shot out, then three more, then three more. Just before being hit, Zast thinks of shiels and raises one, and all nine hit in with the shield absorbing them.
         Next, the Snow Elf casts Blizzard directly over Zast. As the full force of the wind and cold strikes, with the blowing snow and ice piercing like nails, the Dispel Magic occurs, and he holds his wand straight up and, through chattering teeth, yells the command. As the storms dissipate, the Snow Elf casts Magic Missiles again; this time, Zast cannot summon a shield in time because his teeth are chattering. He manages to move aside for eight of the nine. The ninth one hits him in the left arm. There is a moment of searing pain, then nothing. A spell comes out of his mouth, his wand points up, and nothing. He goes down on his knees and drops his wand.
         The Snow Elf smiles. He knows he has won. He begins to cast and wave his wand, and his spell's noise is overwhelmingly loud. He stops, looks around, then up just as a colossal fireball slams into him, killing him on the spot.
         Zast feels a warm sensation as the other Wizard's soul has absorbed into his. It was at this time that he noticed his left arm was gone. He passes out.

How is the character ordinary or extraordinary: This character is extraordinary because he is unaware of a pact his Da made with a goddess directly involving Quinn.
How is his situation ordinary or extraordinary: It is very extraordinary because Quinn fights the problem with the goddess the whole time. He is a true anti-hero.
Core Need:
Corresponding psychological maneuvers (delusions, obsessions,
compulsions, addictions, denials, hysterical ailments, hypochondria, illnesses,behaviors harming the self, behavior harming others, manias, and phobias): While Quinn is all about fighting, it is the atmosphere he grew up in until his Da's death. It is all he wanted to be. While at the Academy, he did well in his classes, had friends, and did other things besides practice; his goal was to be a warrior. He has Obsession and denial issues.
Anecdote (defining moment): Quinn's first defining moment was starting military training with his Da. Until then, he admired and worshipped him. Once he started, he found out what it was like, so he learned the hard facts about it but stayed with it. After 25 (years), his Da dies, and his Mem makes him quit. This caused resentment. She wanted him to be like HER Da - a wizard. He rebelled (quietly) and instead went to an Academy as far as he could away from her. He still practiced his warrior skills daily, though, so he could still be as good as he was while his Da was alive.
History: After starting the Academy, Quinn met Zast and, as usual, opposite attract. Quinn was the quiet, good-looking jock type, and Zast was the nerdy, shy bookworm type. They met in a class their first year and hit it off. Through the years, Quinn's popularity grew as he became known. It wasn't so much that he was involved in anything as he was good-looking, treated everyone with respect, and didn't take anything from anyone. While there was never an altercation, the other person always backed down.
         When a new female student entered the scene, Meira Heijor, everyone thought this would be a match made in the heavens. She was a rich, beautiful Elf. To sweeten the mix, she was a half-Elf life Quinn: her Da, Halrond, a High Elf, and Mem, Nyhadora, a Brown Elf. Secretly, Quinn didn't like her. Oh, she is ok, but there is something about her yellow eyes Quinn didn't trust.
         When Quinn receives his placement orders after graduation, they send him to the Land of Eternal Autumn, between the Dark Forest and the Badlands. Combat between the Seelie courts and the Cursed Ones occurs constantly.
         Before leaving, Quinn is visited by his Aunt, his Da's sister. He learns for the first time some truths about his Da. One is that his Da left a trunk for him to open on his graduation day. Quinn received the key earlier but did not know what it was until then. Opening it, he sees a sword, shield, and manuscript in his Da's handwriting. After lifting the shield and sword, Quinn discovers there is a curse attached to the weapon and shield his Da passed along and the reason why.
         Quinn must battle an evil tyrant and overthrow the King ruling the land. He must watch his back because there are threats everywhere. He needs to gain allies wherever he can.
         Most of all, he must accept that the evil tyrant king is his grandfather.

She was missing her Mem and Da because all the other girls would talk about what their parents would be doing with them on the upcoming Parent Day Weekend. Meira knew her Da wouldn't be there because he had to work, as always. She would be left alone, as always. As the day grew closer, her anxiety grew. She wanted to send him a message but knew it would do no good. She went to see the Head Mistress.
         The Head Mistress advised Meira that a message was sent to her Da about this weekend and its importance for the child. She stated she received a confirmation that Meira would understand that Da loved her and always thought of her there.
         The big day arrives, and the students eagerly await their parents' dropping arrival. The coaches drop off the parents and other family members. Tears of joy and Happiness are shed. Soon, only Meira is standing alone. Her tears are not of Happiness.
         A Scream is heard. Then another. And another. Soon, there is a panic, and everyone runs toward the Manor. Meira Looks around to see a White dragon flying down toward the ground. She is so frightened that she cannot move, and it lands twenty-five feet before her. Looking directly at her, it bows its giant head.
         Down jumps her Da, saying anything she wants, she gets.
         
History: When Meira's Mem and Da were about to get married, Da's Mem cursed the marriage. She did not want the wedding to happen. The curse did not take effect until after Meira was born. After her birth, Meira Mem was cursed, became a Pixie, and went insane. Her Da hid her away in one of their spare houses, never to see her again. Her Da could never look at Meira again without feeling the tremendous guilt, shame, and loss of his love, so he had someone else raise Meira - nannies and maids. He did visit Meira infrequently and bought her whatever she wanted in place of love.
         On Meiras's hundredth birth celebration, the second part of the curse took effect. It changed Meira into a Trow.
                   At first, changes began by slowly opening her physical senses beyond their already enhanced level. Her eyes gradually acquired a slight golden tint that enabled her to see clearly in absolute darkness and perceive heat signatures from all living beings. Her hearing became so acute that she could hear the heartbeat of someone standing around a corner from twenty yards away. Finally, her sense of touch became sensitive enough to discern the different temperatures in stone floors if someone had walked past within the past three candle widths. Because of this change, she wore padded gloves not to overwhelm her senses.
          Meira's nature began to change immediately. She found herself not wanting to be around anyone anymore. She preferred the solitude and quiet of her thoughts. She discovered she yearned to learn much more than she previously knew. Her Da has an extensive library filled with all manners of books. While there were many topics, she felt drawn to the historical, behavioral, political, and magical. With the heavy curtains drawn, Meira spent nights and days in the library reading, only taking four candle widths to meditate whenever needed. When her massive pile of books became depleted, she wanted more. Fortunately, she knew the location of a supply of well-kept secretive knowledge of ancient texts, and her Da was the key to getting in.
          After acquiring the books from the Syzygy library, she gained more knowledge, leading to more power. She learned of another such library in the capital city. She needed to get them and gain access.
          Using her Da's wealth, hiring a crew and ship was easy. For this trip, she was accompanying her Da on a business trip to the capital city. Meira feels uneasy regarding the men on board the ship. Her instincts were telling her to be on guard. That night, she locked and barred her door tightly. Her Da was murdered in his bunk. The next day, they threw his body overboard and made comments outright to her about what would happen. For a time in her life, she was afraid.
          Staying in the cabin, the cook brought the meals to her but threw them out the window and didn't trust them for not being drugged.
          That night, three crew members tried to come in. Three died by her hand and blades. She made examples of them. It wasn't pretty what she cut off.
          She didn't have any trouble after that.
          She made it to the capital. She went to her Da's house and got down to planning the library's visit.
