AIM (if you have one): On File
Character Name: Cerdian
Character LJ (if applicable): violettidemage
Physical description (face, build, weight): Certain is six feet tall with pale violet eyes that glow with hidden power. His hair is dark brown, and he has an attractive smile, though he does it less and less these days.
Age: 20
Birthday: December 1st
Codename (if using one): None at this time
PB: (If using one.) Jared Padalecki
Abilities: Cerdian possesses the physical capabilities of an Atlantean, included increased strength in water (Up to 8 tons), increased durability, and slightly enhanced reflexes. He is versed in Order Magic through his studies, allowing him to create a variety of effects. He also possesses the gifts (or curses) of precognition and limited post-cognition. The Order has also taught him hand-to-hand combat, so he can hold his own against a single a opponent, but he prefers to use his magic when possible.
Like his father, Cerdian favors spells and magic that affect water, though he has been working to add wind to his repetoire as well. Though he can use his mystic abilities as well as his precognition and post-cognition without water available, both function far more precisely when he is near or in the water, or uses water as a focus.
His foci are his staff, a shell pendant that Cait gave to him for his birthday long ago, and water. He either carries a canteen or a sports bottle of water as a quick and dirty focus. He's also memories over two-hundred different mystic hand-movements and foci for some of his lesser and intermediate rotes, most for warding and some offense.
Cerdian uses several cantrips and spells regularly, but the following are a few of his favorites:
Summon Sea Creature: When near the ocean or sea, Cerdian can call upon an ally from the depths.
Underwater breathing: This cantrip allows Cerdian to give non-Atlantens the ability to breathe underwater for one hour.
Body of Water: Cerdian is able to assume a liquid form that will allows him to dull the power of blows from most physical attacks. He can also use it to move into areas where he could not normally go, though this spell taxes him heavily.
Ice Shield: Cerdian can draw away the heat from water to flash-freeze it solid and create a shield to rebuff projectile attacks.
Tidal Wave: If Cerdian is standing in lake, lake, bay or ocean, he can raise waves of water powerful enough to cause varying levels of devastation.
Communicate with Sea Life: While he can't give complex commands, he can ask sea creatures yes or no questions that they answer to the best of their ability.
Weaknesses and flaws: Cerdian can be impulsive and stubborn at times, especially where it concerns the people he loves. He will suffer if he is away from the water for extended periods, and his magic suffers without his foci as he is an adept of Order. One of his foci will allow him to cast with greater accuracy, but without any of them, there is just as much chance his spells will fail as they will succeed.
Character location/Home: Atlantis/Variable
Alignment (villain, hero etc): Hero
Team: None
Relatives (living/dead?): Tempest (Father, living), Dolphin (Mother, living), Aquaman (Godfather, living)
Backstory: Cerdian is the son of Garth, also called Tempest, who was once the partner of Aquaman. After years of adventuring, the young mage fell in love with Dolphin, who bore him Cerdian. Cerdian has spent years wanting to become a mage like his father and have great adventures. He's visited the surface in the past and become good friends with the West Twins and Lian Harper, but Cait Curry is much like his sister, and she is as blood to him.
After completing his trials, Cerdian is recognized as a full-member of the Sorcerer's Circle of Atlantis, though he is still a junior member. The trials have changed him deeply, and he is now older in outlook, and hopefully, wiser.
How do you plan to introduce the character to the game?: Cerdian is returning to the surface after a long time away.
What are you planning to do with this character?: Cerdian is getting reacquainted with old friends and coming to check upon those he's seen in his visions. He's seen good and bad coming for all of them and he wants to help where he can, though he knows he shouldn't.
What do you want to see happen with this character?: I'd like to see him build closer relationships with his Atlantean friends and others in the DC Universe.
