Note me for guidance, questions are welcome! (:

Personality:
Agrippa is that kind of person that looks mildly worried most of the time, and utterly horrified the rest. Because of his father’s failed attempts to toughen him up, Agrippa has formed an odd terrified-but-fascinated relationship with everything scary or unnerving. Thanks to these sinister interests mixed with bad luck and social awkwardness, Agrippa has tendency to be unintentionally creepy – not everyone thinks that the decomposition of a human body is a good ice-breaker.

He is diligent and polite, has a hard time saying no, and apologizes too much. New things and changes often frustrate him because his mind is always at the end of the progress without waiting for him to catch up. When finally seeing logic, he gets very happy.

Agrippa cares deeply for his sister, and can sometimes be a little overprotective, but he just wants the best for her. The only times when Agrippa gets strict is when lecturing her, and when around his work – he is a total perfectionist and does not want anyone to spoil his delicate work.

History:
Agrippa lived the first years of his life in the bat cliffs with his father and mother. He was raised with a hard hand, and father thought he could harden his son by exposing him to a lot of dreadful, nasty things. It did not turn out as planned.

When Agrippa was 20 years old, his little sister, Penelope was born, and their parents told him that he would have to take Penelope as a mate to secure the survival of the race. Horrified, Agrippa fled from home with his baby sister to the cloud realm. There, he tried his best to support both of them, but not many wanted to hire a willow gargoyle, and those who did gave him long hours and poor payment. There were often times where they had to bed or steal, or go hungry to bed in an alley – Agrippa did not get much sleep in those times as he would watch out for thieves and thugs while his sister slept.

It was only after seven years when an alchemist picked them up from the gutter that their life started to take a positive turn. The alchemist was old and needed assistance with his work. He took good care of the siblings, gave them food and a place to sleep in return for their help. Agrippa leaned a lot from the old alchemist, got some good contacts through him, and when he died, Agrippa took over his work and made quite a living out of it.

Abilities:

Wind maker: Agrippa is able to bend the wind. He can create mild breezes, powerful, short blasts and concentrated storms within a radius of 12 meters. His goal is to make thunder.

Ignition: Agrippa also has slight fire magic. He is able to increase the thermal movements on a fixed spot so much that flammable objects will start to burn. Likewise, he is able to kill a fire again.

Weapon:
Agrippa’s staff is made of light metal with an inserted rubellite. Elemental alchemy symbols are engraved around the rubellite to help channeling magic.

Extra:
~ Silkbottom is a made-up surname and was Penelope’s idea.

~ Agrippa loves blue cheese, olives and strong licorice. Sal-ammoniac is the best thing he knows, but he should not eat too much of it.

~ He sometimes takes laudanum when he cannot sleep.
