Name: Barflan
Age: 59, comparable to 21 for humans
Gender: Male
Race: Gnome
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Power Level: 5
Timeline: Medieval
Appearance: Barflan is fairly short, even by gnome standards, and fairly stringy. He has fairly light tan and his sapphire blue eyes are set by messy light brown hair. His chin is clean-shaven, since he dislikes facial hair. He wears soft tight breeches that mix a variety of shades of grays and blues to form stripes running diagonal on them with a tight brown shirt covered by a soft blue vest. His boots are knee high and square toed.
He wears a soft blue headband that runs underneath his hair, along with a small pendant around his neck that remains hidden by his clothes. He has on only two slender rings on his fingers, both on his middle fingers with small leather bracers on his forearms. Around his waist is a grey belt made of soft cloth. Attached to the belt is a fairly good sized pouch that he stuffs random things in, even stuff that logically shouldn't fit.
Personality: Barflan is tricky, he's prone to both massive mood swings, and spontaneous actions--matter of fact, he constantly keeps secrets and will out right lie to people, even though he isn't a convincing lier. He constantly cloaks himself in illusions or uses illusions to help him confuse/lie to other people. He even summons illusions that are quasi-real to defend himself in battle, be it either creatures or blasting spells--despite being unable to cast from those schools. Matter of fact, he's unable to cast from four schools of magic; Conjuration, Enchantment, Evocation, and Necromancy, but he doesn't think he's missing out on anything given the power of illusions in his mind.
History: Barflan was born into a fairly well off gnomish household, which pushed him towards wizardry not long after the start of adolescence because he showed a natural talent at magic. The school he was sent to focused highly on teaching illusion magic and barely had any spells of most of the other schools of magic so, he became of focused specialist illusionist with time.
After he finished his years at the academy, where grand illusions and even simple illusions everywhere were common, he set out to hone his skill at illusion spells. During his travels and few adventures, he quickly grew in skill along with a number of the few companions and friends he had made during the time.
But they had broken up as Barflan's control over his illusions deepened. So, for a while he made do with what illusions he had, and wandered as best he could learning magic he could along the way. Eventually, he had a "magical breakthrough" so to speak and learned how to infuse bits of shadow stuff into some of his illusions to make them partly real and to mimic spells he normally was unable to cast. This greatly increased the ease of his solo adventures, since illusionary creatures did wonders for keeping his enemies at bay.
Powers: Magic - Barflan is a specialized illusionist, and knows countless illusion spells, and very few spells outside of that. But a number of his "illusion" spells have bits of shadow stuff in them making them atleast partly real.
Equipment: Mentioned in his appearance, Headband of Intelligence, Amulet of Natural Armor, Ring of Protection, Ring of Sustenance, Bracers of Armor, Monk's Belt, and a Bag of Holding. Inside his bag of holding is his spellbook.
Weakness: Anyone who disbelieves his illusions take a reduced effect than it would had they not.
He's a mage and lacks a good deal of strength.
For a gnome, he's weak. Compared to humans, he's a physical challenge for a 6/7 year old, maybe, since he's 2'10" and 35 lbs.
He's unable to use spells of four schools of magic: Evocation, Conjuration, Enchantment, or Necromancy.
His skill at Transmutation or Divination is mediocre at best.
~Specific Spells~
Silent Image: This is a low-powered illusion that cannot create sounds, but is able to produce fairly good sized visual appearances. It lasts about as long as he concentrates on it.
Minor Image: This spell creates a slightly more advanced illusion that is able to create basic sounds as well as visual illusions. Although, it is unable to mimic speech. He can sustain this spell with concentration, but otherwise it lasts for about 20-30 seconds before it blinks out.
Major Image: This spell creates a fairly advanced illusion, capable of replicating complex sounds, scents, and even thermal sensations in addition to visual illusions. Like Minor Image he can maintain it, but on it's own it lasts about 50-60 seconds before blinking out.
Cloak of Shadow: This complex spell softens and blurs the edges of Barflan's figure when he's exposed to lighting short of natural daylight to make it harder to find him. Due to it's incredible duration, he keeps it up almost constantly.
Shadow Illusion: By weaving shadow bits into his other illusion spells, he can make them partly real allowing him to replicate the effects of some evocation/conjuration spells.
Persistent Image: This illusion spell is much like his Major Image, except it lasts far, far longer. Without spending any effort to maintain the illusion, it lasts for just under half an hour.
Permanent Image: Like Persistent Image, this spell lasts a long while without him having to maintain it, though the actual maximum duration is unknown, since he often dismisses the spell before too long.
