Faurosk Drewry
Appearance
Faurosk is a fairly agreeable looking human man. Walking with the undue confidence of someone who has (narrowly) survived scraps all across Arethil, his journeys have rendered him from a former academic to a bona-fide adventurer. He's typically found wearing modest clothes appropriate to the culture and climate wherever he finds himself, relying on long sleeves and gloves to hide the spell formulae tattooed down his arms. The mage also keeps a set of traditional robes for occasions where an arcane mystique is required, though the exact fashion of them fell out of fashion a couple decades prior to his birth. The light colors and worn fabrics hold a sentimentality that prevents him from abandoning the roughed-up attire in favor of something more dashing.
Skills and Abilities
Faurosk had studied the Arcane for several years prior to taking the winding road of a traveler. He set out with knowledge of many disciplines, but has come to rely primarily on his talents for transmutation. This has not stopped him from picking up a few new tricks along the way, but those are rarely fit for anything more than a parlor room.
Beyond the arcane, he also shows a command of various creative arts. Whether through the sketches kept in his journals or the spells scribed across his very skin, he exhibits a command for shape and tone enhanced his preference for more limiting mediums.

Personality
Growing up in a poverty-stricken area of the Allirian outer city, Faurosk had a sense of optimism and compassion instilled in him from a young age by both of his loving parents. The man has a slight streak of cowardice, though, that has proven quite difficult to kick. His fears include- but are not limited to -dark magic, undead, losing his mind, pretty women, spiders, and any mythical beast that could kill him with a thought.
Biography & Lore
Faurosk was born the only child in an lower-class family, raised within the Outer City of Alliria. His mother worked as both a weaver and a tailor, running her business from the family's small home. His father entertained as a magician of sorts, using his experience in magic to perform prestidigitation and parlor tricks for the wealthy denizens of the Inner City. Faurosk's early life was not one of ease or plenty, but he has many fond memories of his childhood. After he came of age, Faurosk's father gave him the robes and apparatuses that he himself had used when he was an aspiring student of the arcane arts. Faurosk set out from home with his parents' blessing, seeking knowledge and adventure wherever the tides of fate might take him.
He spent too many years at the College of Elbion before he realized that its institutional philosophies fell too far from his own, and he has spent a handful of years since wandering the continents in search of a fitting purpose. In this time, he has come to blows with dragons, undead, warbands, the elements themselves, and some real jerks. Though his adventures have been many, he lingers on, urged on by a persistent force for curiosity and good-will despite his survival instincts.
