Please put me in for consideration:
Wizard Profile:

Name: Hanyollosho, First Among Mages of the Infinite Isles, Master of the Far Reaches, Saint of Remote Lands

Wizardly Focus: Hanyollosho specializes heavily in magic related to distant places, forgotten locales, and fugitives of any kind. Those who are guilty and hiding at all, from a nervous child skipping school for the first time to a grizzled axe-murderer living in an ice cave in the furthest flung mountains, sometimes find relief and protection from Hanyollosho. He is a wizard of rolling green hills stretching off to the horizon, of Antipodean islands bitten by harsh gales and the mournful cries of the albatross, and of vast rocky plains baked dry by vicious katabatic winds. His two primary domains go hand in hand. He often rescues stranded or lost travelers.

Description: Hanyollosho appears as a man of late middle age dressed in humble clothing appropriate for his environment, often in shades of brown or gray. He is polite and cordial, always willing to share a conversation. He relishes the brief episodes of human contact with which he punctuates his treasured seclusion, and genuinely cares for humanity and for the people that he helps. His clothes are sometimes ragged, and he carries a simple staff carved from maple wood. To a shipwrecked sailor freezing and digging desperately for mussels on the shore of some impossibly remote unknown island in gelid seas, he appears as if a mirage; a phantom compatriot also mysteriously shipwrecked, whose encouraging words and simple gifts persist long past his brief appearance, sustain life, and serve as the only real proof that he was ever there at all.

He opposes the wanton development of ancient and lost places. A solitary monastery atop a mountain or a secluded keep are fine, but a bustling whaling town springing up overnight on some small island risks drawing his ire. Some day, he plans to grow powerful enough to visit the moon and the stars, and to look down on earth from the icy and incredible distance of the sky.

He is friendly and easy to get along with, but being called upon by the powers that be to work together over a long period of time and in close contact with others will be a new experience, to say the least.

I'll be picking in a bit, but first, some notes:

Whatever was here, is just a chain of memories.

This kinda sounds like a mortal dude who happens to do magic. We're parodying the Istari talking more like minor divine beings sent into the world.

Edited it. PM me if there's something (still) wrong.

ALL OF MY YES

Wizard Profile:

Name: Natalia

Wizardly Focus: Natalia, not being one for conversation or being around people, spent most of her young life in the forest near her home. She befriended the creatures that lived there, until almost all the herbivores felt comfortable enough in her presence to not flee from her, and the carnivores didn't attempt to nom her. Her magic specializes in nature; the conjuration and control of wild beasts, and control over plants.

Description: Natalia is a rather young woman; she does not remember her exact age, but reckons she is around sixteen or seventeen years of age. Due to this, she holds a rather diminutive structure. She is very sensitive about her height; to hide her small form, she dons a hefty cloak, and large boots. She's rather feisty to mortals, always asserting herself, boasting, and bluffing. She's always infuriated when nobody knows who she is.

Not too sure of the focus choice, or anything really, haven't played anything like this in a while. Initially wanted something to do with fishies, still no (real) harm in applying:

Name: Stanley

Focus: Water. Water is the foundation of life, it is the environment by which much life originally came, and that most requires to live. It must be protected above all else, even the life it sustains. One can always rebuild on a sturdy foundation.

Description: A middle aged male of pale skin, brown hair and green eyes, he is short for his apparent age. He has no facial hair.
A simple blue cloak covers his form, underneath lies unremarkable clothes.

He prefers to move calmly and evenly without drawing attention, keeping interaction light, going with the flow, to avoid disturbing the natural world where it doesn't need disturbing. Those that do otherwise quickly gain his ire.

Oooh oooh mee meeee meeeeeeee!!!!!!!

Wizard Profile:

Name: Friederick the Savior.

Wizardly Focus: Friederick focuses upon magics of nature, those of healing and shaping, though in situations where a diplomatic solution cannot be found...Friederick's wrath upon those who spurn him is as legendary as his care for those who do not.

They may simply be swallowed and never found again.

(So healing magic, with a side of earth/stone- and plant-shaping.)

Description: He looks somewhat haggard, a duty of care being upon him, even as he cares for others.

(AAAH! So many worthy applicants while I was away! Hmm, perhaps a waitlist after all. But fret not, you will have your chance!)

(My next post shall begin the IC

...I possess interest in this


Name: Akala

Wizardly Focus: Thought (summarized as the ability to influence, sense, and glean insight into thoughts, not the control of or the creation of thought). Akala is interested in the world by itself, and the continuation of the essence of life.

Description: Akala appears as a woman with dark hair and a light brown complexion, mature in her age and fully covered in a grey shroud or cloak, with a simple belt carrying a closed pouch by her side and a simple sickle in the other. Her behavior follows that of a nomadic behavior, carrying a sense of respect towards others she meets whether it be the natural environment or its inhabitants.

Waitlist, if there is no space.

I'm back and more tired than ever.

Like for real I cannot muster any serious effort.

Name: Derm

Wizardly Focus:
Chance, Luck, Happenstance, and the chaotic patterns which follow them. What use is the world without risks? If all is nice and orderly, there are no stories to tell! No songs to sing!

Description:
Behold, my green robes.

Four months out to sea. The Powers That Be have sent your forth from the Blessed Realm, and soon you shall land upon the shores of Metnas, the Mortal Lands. You have been chosen not just for your considerable abilities, your capacities for good, but also for your spiritual centers. The nebulous evil power directly threatens the very things each of you hold dear!

With your arrival imminent, now is the time to strategize. [2] Though you have little intelligence on the matter, devising a strategy for your upcoming struggle shall be crucial...

"Great idea Derm, I'm sure we'd make a good first impression with our enemy by feeding ourselves to it.  How about we say hi to the locals first?" , Astranix says. 

Astra tries to gaze into the future, trying to ascertain even the most general glimpse of their enemy.

"The proper course of action is to strike like the wind! Swift and merciless shall be our howl down into the Enemy's stronghold, and sudden as a bolt from the blue shall be our strike! The Enemy cannot stand up to our combined force!
...
Or have the Powers That Be commanded us to help the mortals defeat the Enemy or something? I wasn't really listening past the first few sentences."
