Description
A character of mine.I'm gonna write a better bio for him later but for short:
Name: Teagan Bastian Quintrell, prefers to be called Bastian.
Age: 28 years
Occupation: A mage serving the same kingdom as Semira.
Personality: Even though his skin is pale and hair is white-grayish Bastian's personality is very warm, calm and friendly. However, he does have a sarcastic side too, he enjoys making sarcastic or witty remarks when other people are talking. Of course, he doesn't do this in the presence of the royal family, but he's not afraid of annoying the hell out of his superiors. Despite his bad habits no one hates him in the royal knights, they may tell him to shut up sometimes but would never think bad of him.
As stated above, Bastian is a mage serving in the kingdom's royal knights. His body is physically weak and he can't even run long distances without getting out of breath. His speciality as a mage is barriers and healing which he is very skilled in and his magical powers are strong. He uses books to store the magic spells formulas but needs no equipment when casting or healing.
Bastian used to be a slave in a completely other land but after some events Semira freed him and he decided to follow her. But saving him Semira was only able to cut the chain of the collar around his neck. The chains have some powerful magic spell cast on them and no one in the kingdom knows how to remove it without killing Bastian too. Bastian has accepted his current situation and does his best in the royal knights to pay back his debt to Semira for saving his life, but he also searches for a way to remove the rest of the chains by spending almost all his free time in the castle's library or talking with travellers. He is a walking encyclopedia after reading so many books.
I actually created this character's sketch already in last fall, but I didn't know what to do with it back then. Couple of months ago I decided to modify the sketch to represent a character from my story (the same story Apache, Semira and Chastel are in too) and called him Bastian as his "working name". I wanted to give him a longer name and when I finally thought "now he's gonna get a proper name!" I just couldn't let go of "Bastian"|D So that's why he's called Bastian instead of his first namexD
Well, hope you like him

Thanks>w> I used a lot of time for this design so I'm happy it looks goodxD
Bastian is a mage with his magical powers above the average, he works hard to improve his skills and his one of the best defence mages in the Kingdom thanks to his specialization in barriers. He's also a great healer so he has earned his place as the princess' personal doctor. though calling him a doctor is a bit misleading since he is a military mage after all|D Bastian's body is quite fragile though, so even if he doesn't get tired by using magic he can't do physical work much. So in the collab pic I guess it would be appropriate to make him sit down with his book and trying to teach/explain some of his barrier magic to one of your OCs for examplexD he could be making somekind of a little barrier-like thing with his hand to show his point..?
btw I'm excited about this collab also for the reason that this is about the characters of our stories that are most dear to us, I'm planning on getting something done about my story this year and the script is already in process>w>

It was worth of the time spent!
I see I see. Is he popular with girls? In my story the only one so far using magic is Aya. I thought Bastian could heal her or teach her while she would be like "wooaa". Though now I wonder.. She's using magical stones and can only manipulate elements 'cause these stones she can easily get. She can't do healing magic or anything that comes from an energy - just like I assume Bastian does. In the world of SS there are humans that I called "the Elementals". These people don't have magic or powers themselves, but are capable to use things that contain magical power or any power. Aya is using magical crystals and stones. Some others use magical weapons of many kind. Without them they're powerless. Soo I don't know if Bastian could teach her anything unless he uses sth like that or I'll eventually (never thought about it yet) bring up crystals for healing / barrier making - don't see it working though. Of course she could look up to him anyways
Btw, I thought we could make it a bit more simple if we don't think of anything of a big scene, and just make a couple interacting with each other.
We'll get it sooner or later
Me too! Oh can I read it? plllzzz

ScytheDancer In reply to WickedJuti [2012-01-05 12:09:21 +0000 UTC]
Ohhh yeah, I actually think we could make it work with Aya and Bastian, because I've been thinking about the world's system in the story and every land has their own element and the Kingdom Bastian serves is ice (and snow) so most of his barrier spells are ice elemental (such like Clear Ice -shield). And Bastian is very curious and always interested in learning more so Aya could be showing her techniques to him and Bastian could be either taking notes or showing his magic to her, like a trade of knowledgexD
Hmm do you have gmail? I could share my script document with you, this project is a bit bigger one and it involves few other people so I keep the documents on the internet, if you would like to help us you could join the crew? I'll note you more info about the project depending on your answer;D

WickedJuti In reply to ScytheDancer [2012-01-05 16:43:04 +0000 UTC]
Oh Cool! So we have a potential first collo couple yay! I think Apache and MaiLin like you suggested before could work too in the future
That sounds like a good idea. That Bastian would be interested in the "crystal magic" that Aya uses. I don't want to bring up in my story the more complicated elements yet. For now I'm sticking with the basic ones and later will see. Really wanted to make it like Aya is looking up to Bastian. He's older and way much more experienced and all. But it looks like with the idea of her limited abilities she wouldn't be able to learn anything from him atm.. hm.. Yeah, a presentation of her crystals sounds very suitable actually and I even have an image in my head
I'll sketch sth later
Yup! juti.wicked@gmail.com sure! I'd love to help if I can ^^

ScytheDancer In reply to WickedJuti [2012-01-05 18:25:26 +0000 UTC]
Well if you wish to make Aya look up to him she could show her magic to Bastian like a student shows her skills to teacher that they admire. Or something like thatxD I'm bad at explaining|D But yeah, good to hear you have an idea already, can't wait to see it (if possible, you could upload the sketch in dA's sta.sh and note me the link to it so we can discuss about it without letting others see it>w>)
Thanks, I shared the documents, now you can view them whenever you like

Good point there I'll sketch sth and we'll see if it works
ooh ohh how do you use that sta.sh thing? never used it =^^'=

ScytheDancer In reply to WickedJuti [2012-01-05 19:08:09 +0000 UTC]
Sta.sh is very easy to use, just go to submit but instead of submit art click sta.sh, then just drag and drop the file(s) you wish to put there or press the "upload a file" button. Then when the files have loaded there you can edit ther info like in normal submission process. In the up right there is a quick share url which you can give to people you want to share that piece with, they don't necessarily need to be members of dA.
I haven't tested the "upload multiple files" yet since I have no need for it, but it could probably be useful for you when you're uploading the pages Here is a link to one of my pics in the sta.sh [link] Though I'm not intending to post it on dA, just a random pic from my comp to show you how it worksxD Gonna remove it tomorrow.
Oh also, in the right side of your sta.sh there are listed useful news about the sta.sh feature.
