Cadmus Eyren
“Cadmus has a great sense of both theory and execution of magic and can absorb information quicker than your average person. However, he is not without fault. His parents are legacies, and that shadow follows him around.
Many times has he asked me for feedback as though expecting something to be wrong, even when nothing is particularly off. I imagine that stems from his parents, who did what it took to teach him the lessons needed to get him here.
All that also probably led to a rather prevalent double edged sword of his: A desire to deliver results.
On the bright side, this attribute leads him to push himself and request new challenges from me. On the dark side, he gets extremely frustrated at a lack of forward progress and often spirals quickly into a state of depression when such times occur.”
— Professor of Magical Security Quill Burrel’s first class evaluation of Cadmus Eyren
Appearance
Cadmus is a 5’10 boy with black hair and black eyes. His most defining article of clothing is a blue cloak with an eye on it that lets him see the flow of magic in a very limited capacity, a gift he received heading off to college that he wears no matter what other clothes are on (besides when it needs to be washed, of course.) He does not really have much of a sense of style but is partial to dark blue and also likes brown-toned materials.
Skills and Abilities
Mathematics and Literacy at a College level, as well as Enthusiasm for both subjects
Semi-Photographic memory that fails him sometimes when his emotions run high.
Basic College Magic for Attack and Communication, plus Wardmaking/Breaking up to level 2
The Flowing Cloak: Using the keyword “Rada”, magic that allows Cadmus to momentarily see the flow of magic in anything and everything within a certain radius (10ft) is activated. It then disappears and cannot be mustered for another day after.
Personality
Cadmus is a very varied type of person depending on the situation he finds himself in. Ordinarily he tries to stay out of trouble and is decently quiet, but the whole truth of it is that he is insanely competitive and is constantly motivated by the thought of the praise he might receive for getting ahead and doing something good.
This kind of colors his actions and gives him a reputation as a teacher’s pet among the meaner, more gossipy students in the school.
In group projects and teams, Cadmus will always do his work and is very reliable, doing his best work because he knows no other way to do so. This was drilled into him by his parents at a young age, who settled on not giving him a single advantage when it came to proving his worth to the college.
Perhaps the most unlikeable part of Cadmus is how he reacts to continual failure or even just stagnation, which is by finding a place to sit and turning into the human equivalent of a sad sack of mush.
This happens more than he likes to admit, and his self-proclaimed most embarrassing moment was when he was getting a motivational “kick in the ass” talk from one of his professors and some other students came along.
The last part of him is one that doesn’t show often, and it’s the bit of him that feels sad he missed so much of his childhood. These thoughts exist in the back of his mind and have the potential to get him to agree to things he might not otherwise because they’d break his whole act.

Biography & Lore
Cadmus Eyren was born to Aelin Eyren and Mathilda Scoll, two graduates of the college of Elbion who fell in love as first years and continued their relationship all throughout their college experience.
His parents were both studious, highly intellectual people one might describe as realists, and they knew that the best career path for their child would be to become a scholar of the college as well.
So went by the years and although Cadmus got to be a normal child somewhat, those moments were often fragmented by a study session or activity and didn’t last long.
At the end of the day, though, it worked. Cadmus got in without ever mentioning his parents being Legacies. By this point, he had become somewhat addicted to learning and had decided that perhaps all he had missed was worth it. The possibilities before him seemed almost endless.
So, Cadmus now enters his first year as an Elbion college student, determined to make a name for himself.
