Oasis MC profile

Jerid Messala:  was part of nomad group that travels from oasis to oasis looking for work. He was part of the Desert Fox tribe, a small breakaway group that formed from one of the older Oasis Nomad groups. Members of the tribe were very powerful magicians, capable of casting illusion magic and generally making the impossible possible.

At the age of 11, his parents were killed in a battle with pirates, and he was captured and sold into slavery to a noble, where he acted as a servant. He spent 7 years in slavery, but managed to learn how to read and write. His master noticed his talent, and began to direct him towards becoming an informant, someone who could play con games and gather information. As a result he began to teach him more and more about magic.  Jerid became fascinated by all the lore he saw, especially with the idea of a mythical kingdom of the sky and an Earth covered in plants and animals. Life was tough in this desert world, and Jerid felt more and more drawn to the idea that these Sky Folk might have a way to reverse the damage caused by The Fall. Disgusted with his short sighted, petty master and for once feeling like he had a purpose in life; Jerid used his skills to expose the noble to the authorities for all his awful antics, and escaped in the process.

Taking up residence in Aridia, Jerid has been able to become a facet in the shadier parts of the world, wheeling and dealing for ancient lore. After he found RIC in an excursion through the desert and restored him to working order, he set about becoming a Scholar, or ruin hunter, to see the Sky Folk’s civilization first hand and learn more about their magic.
Overall, Jerid is a good person. His intentions are usually noble, though he is willing to get his hands dirty to save a friend or do what’s right. Jerid is a free spirit and hates being tied down against his will, a trait he picked up from slavery, and will do everything in his power to get out of situations he feels forced into. He is not particularly tall or strong, but uses guile to achieve his goals.  He can cast some magic, mostly illusions or minor tricks but hopes to become a powerful wizard someday.

One day, while searching a ruin, he finds a magic stone with that imprints something into his mind. Now he must find out how to unlock the knowledge within and use it to end an ancient conspiracy that has shackled the people of Oasis for centuries.
