Okay, I made one. I can't think of any good special item, though.
Schools of magic: Biomancy and aethermancy
Name: Maron Bubredi
Race: Half-elf
Age: 15
Hobby: Maron likes to make cloth dolls and hand them out to small children. In secret, that is.
Appearance: A pointy eared young man with brown eyes dark skin. He is somewhat overweight and wears baggy clothes as if to compensate for a scrawny figure. His black hair is grown into a shoulder length mullet.
Backstory: Maron is the bastard child of an elven drunk and a relatively well-off merchant who begrudgingly took him in, desperate from his real wife's aparant infertility. The elven accident was quite a source of shame to his family, and was often disciplined for acting too elf-like in one way or another. He was sent off to learn the ways of aethermancy at a young age, as his father figured that magical accomplishments might redeem his mistake. However, the halfbreed took an increasing intrest in life magic as his studies went on, and decided to switch courses on a particularily courageous day. It wouldn't last, sadly, as his father came to check up on his progress after a while and cought him taking a lesson in healer stuff. The merchant did not tolerate that his money was being spent on making his son a hippie. Maron was disowed, and his father ceased paying for his courses. Maron simply wishes to become famous and succesful, so he can show up his family.
Special Item: Haven't got a clue.
Aethermancy should be a nice way of getting dangerous stuff from biomancy away from us and into some poor slob's face. Think of plant spores, small critters, that sort of thing.
