Name: Marino Ortun
Date of Birth: 2074AC
Roleplay Level: 184
Allegiances: Goldlight Order
Magic: Water and Wellspring, Ether Attuned
Backstory:
Marino Ortun was a simple fisherman, who settled near the future site of Martyr's Vigil. For 20 years, he kept to himself, simply fishing, chopping wood for his fire, and eating the fish he caught. One day, however...
Milestones:
2024//04//01: Meeting Darci Gallagher
Darci Gallagher found Marino's campsite, and convinced him to develop his magic and try for something more. Interacting with the townspeople convinces Marino to learn to fight to protect good decent people and to learn medicine to heal them when they become injured.
2024//04//05: Maimed by Eeklege
Going into the field with Pariah to learn to fight, the pair are attacked by Eeklege, who permanently injures Marino before being repulsed by Pheobe.
2024//04//07: Advice from those stronger
Marino spars with many partners, but never wins. He obtains advice from others, including Lazarus and Ksceniya C. Montelione. Lazarus informs him that he has great potential, and that good equipment will make a large difference alongside combat experience, assuring him that his magic is not weak but rather inexperienced and imperfect. It has good bones. Marino takes up Artifice, to create potent equipment for himself. Ksceniya tells him that while his strength will increase over time, wellspring is not the most powerful school of magic, so if he wants true power he'll need to find a unique way.
2024//04//08: An unfathomably foolhardy decision
Marino studies the books in the library south of Goldlight and comes upon a theory. With insight from Ksceniya that wellspring is channeling raw vitality, he discovers the existence of Necromancy and devleops a theory: Wellspring magic is incomplete, and there may be a more potent and pure form of healing magic. Remembering the direction to do something unique, he decides to try to learn all things that relate to life and see if a complete understanding gives him a unique strength. He departs for the ruins of Perdition, described in the book. Finding the ruins, he finds no necromancers, but a tower with a forbidden archive describing a text on 'death magic.' The text is locked away, however the description of 'death magic' seems another puzzle piece to the world-ignorant man. By understanding medicine, undeath, death, and life, he could identify the missing pieces and fill them in.
So he writes a letter to the tower's posted owner, a man he does not know, a one in a hundred shot hoping he is in the area.
And Eranath responds.
Responding from sheer amusement at the audacity of the man (not knowing he didn't know better), the Incomplete humored Marino and told him that he would aid him if he showed potential, but that he had no attunement to occultism and that he would need it to learn Death Magic. He told him to prove he was capable by finding a man named Thade of the Cauldron, who would teach him necromancy. However, The Incomplete cautioned Marino that all would revile this decision, and that he must disguise himself carefully. Marino states that he doesn't particularly care if other people despise him, so long as he can do as he pleases. It's technically true, he simply doesn't state his intent to protect others. In his entire interaction, he chooses his words extremely carefully to include no lies, but no answers that may anger the entity before him.
Marino decided... to go for it. He assumes the identity of Grey, practicing new mannerisms and attitudes to hide who he is.
2024//04//11: A training partner
Grey finds himself back in the library, reading the text on Holy Magic. Thade had not responded to a message, lofted into the wind in faith that the Incomplete would ensure it reached the necromancer. In the meantime, he could try to unlock Occult magic on his own, by practicing the opposite of what the text described. A youth named Krue Solinox happened in at the same time, seeking to master holy magic. The two made a deal, Krue would not breathe a word of Grey's existence, and in return they would aid each other in unlocking their respective abilities. Further, Grey would teach Krue lessons in combat and create equipment for him. As Krue has never met Marino, Grey uses the opportunity to practice his new mannerisms. The two meditate on unlocking their potential, but Grey becomes lost in his memories. Krue has some small success, but not enough to be useable. They agree to meet in the future.
