--Bio: Witch--

My name is Armand, although some may call me Garnier as well. You? Hmm... I trust you can keep a secret.

You believe in magic, do you not? Although I have seen the world destroyed many times, I have seen it rise from its ashes just as much. Once again, the world is born beautiful, and truly as mythical as I remember it. How have I seen this world reborn so many times, you ask? Well, I am a WITCH after all. Or, perhaps you are more familiar with the term WIZARD? I know what you are thinking; many people think the same thing. However, I trust you, dear narrator: No one must know what I am.

No matter how many generations pass, witches are taboo, malicious to men and henge alike. Children are fascinated with magic, but adults lose their sense of fun as they age. Would you not say otherwise, dear narrator? Children love to talk about everything they say, especially the birds. Word spreads quickly in this small town, after all. To whom that know who I am, they remember that they have sworn to never tell anyone who I am. They have also sworn to tell me if any other witches  What they can tell others, however, is my shop in the comfortable town of Araiya.

The Blue Rose Bookshelf. A good name, is it not? One may not only all of the books, but a wide arrangement of technology, antiques lost from the past. Books not like anyone here would read, and scripture that others would not comprehend from neither this generation, the generation before, nor generations before it. Technology that has evolved time and time again. Antiques that hold history and significance. All of this, dear narrator, I have found while exploring. After all, my explorations are much more deep than the exploration guild, you know.

Hmm? You wish to join? You are a brave one. Even quite noble. I do, however, hope you are comfortable holding my equipment. I may be wise. I may be powerful to some. But alas, even I can be unfortunate. Being anemic, asthmatic, and not a strong person to begin with is not an enjoyable experience, however. *cough cough*.

Yesterday may not have been special, but perhaps tomorrow will be. The world can change at any time, dear narrator. I just hope the next generations to come have better doctors...

--Weaknesses/Powers--

Mysterious Person
You’ve become a little too involved in your magic, making you distant from others. Between scenes you only gain 1 point of Feelings from each of your connections, regardless of the strengths of those connections.

Mysterious Moves (2)
You can use your magic to perform even very simple, everyday tasks. When you use this power, you can substitute your Henge attribute for any check.

Failure
Your magic sometimes messes up in a really spectacular way. Once per story when you’re using your magic, the narrator can have that power fail in a particularly embarrassing way. You cannot spend points to overcome this Weakness.

True Magic (Special)
This power lets you call upon the very purest form of true magic. You can only use this power once per story, and you must use it during the third scene of the story or later. It consumes all of the Wonder and Feelings of all the characters present, but if they all earnestly want the same wish granted, the narrator must make sure it comes true. After you use this power, you cannot use any Wonder or Feelings at all during the next scene.

Secret
You have a very strict rule against letting normal people see you as a witch. If someone does see your full witch garb, your connections to both that person and the town lose 1 strength.

Changing Seasons (4)
You can make yourself younger or older in an instant. This power lets you change your apparent age at will. This lasts until the scene ends, or until you use this power again.


Addendum on Kirin: She is a young assistant and apprentice at the store who knows about Armand's secret. She can be human, or she can be a henge; that's up to you. Since Armand is often deep in his study, which is located in the back of the store, down some stairs, and behind a bookshelf in his archive, Kirin keeps the front desk and store clean. Kirin will usually answer first unless Armand is physically present behind the desk. If Kirin is not there, Armand will be there at open hours, often organizing books and getting rid of any speck of dust he can (he is asthmatic, after all).

To: Town ; Admiration (lvl 2)
From: Town ; Acceptance (lvl 2)

To: Yoshie ; Respect (lvl 1). He recognizes her status as a god, even if she doesn't remember it. He isn't quite used to such lax wordings from a god, but it's nice to drop the formalities once in a while.

From: Yoshie ; (lvl 1) Yoshie likes Armand because his shop smells good. It's a weird musty smell, but that's okay. He tells her not to scratch the book cases, but Yoshie does it anyway

To: Seira; Rivalry (lvl 2). Armand basically just keeps his eye out for any irregular things going on, and this also means keeping an eye out on other witches and Henge troublemakers. He's well aware of Seira being a witch, and hopefully doesn't have to keep reminding her to not do anything dumb with her magic.

From: Seira ;  (lvl 1). Seira likes his books, but has a couple of them overdue for quite some time.

To: Kirin ; Protection (lvl 1). Armand has known Kirin since she was a young girl, always visiting his small shop which continued to grow along with her. Of course, it goes without saying that he sees her almost everyday, and as a personal assistant and employee to the store, Armand makes sure her

From: Kirin ; Trust (lvl 1). Description soon?

To: Keiji ; Protection (lvl 1). Armand has decided to keep in Keiji and Aomi, only under the promise that they make up as soon as they leave. He doesn't know about their situation, but he is willing to help out.
