[Basic Information]
Full Name: Kasimir Sewik
Alias(es): Kaz, which he asks friends/allies to call him
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Birthday: September 20th
Sexuality: Bi, female preference

[Characteristics]
Height: 5'10
Weight: 145lb
Hair: dark brown, nearly black
Eyes: brown eyes

General Appearance: Kaz stands at about average height and posture.  His form is well-built but he hides it under a dark trench coat.  The trench coat has a collar which extends up a good deal, making  it hard to see his face without being directly in front of him.  Beneath this trench coat he wears tighter and plain colored clothes, a white shirt and black pants.  Underneath these clothes is a myriad of disorganized scars, back from his fighting days.  He also has a thing with belts, so he wears quite a few around his trench coat, ranging from his waist to legs and arms.  His hair is dark and unremarkable, wearing it a common short style with bangs that reach to his forehead.  Sometimes he wears sunglasses if he's trying to act particularly cool, otherwise his eyes are a common brown and easily forgettable.  On his back is slung a greatsword.  The sword is of practical make; a simple steel blade with an unadorned hilt.

Personality: Kaz has two different sides of himself.  One is what he uses for work.  He takes his work very seriously and often isolates himself before going on a mission, or lapses into extended silence.  He can seem very dark and hopeless about the world, expecting to meet his end in the near future.  His other facade is almost a direct contradiction with the persona above.  He is brazenly flirtatious with young women, and sometimes men when they take notice.  He laughs freely and cracks jokes, seemingly very flippant and carefree.  In reality he is quite bitter about the world, believing it to be beyond any kind of redemption.  Instead of trying to fix it or be different, he instead plays into the world's expectations and pursues hopeless causes like money and women.  Sometimes his jokes or comments can come across more snide or bitter than he intends.

Despite his defeatist attitude, he does legitimately care about people more than he'd like to admit.  He dislikes seeing innocents taken advantage of.  He will step in to help if he thinks he can win, and if there's not many witnesses.  If there's a crowd, he'll swallow his reservations and be a silent onlooker.

Likes:

• freedom
  
• women
  
• food
  
• music
  

Dislikes:

• captivity, forced/indebted work
  
• rules for the sake of rules, instead of those that help others (mainly the Magic Council)
  
• boats, or travel through large pools of water
  
• senseless violence
  

Motivations:

• Freedom – In his past, Kaz was unable to experience a good portion of the world. He values the freedom of doing whatever strikes his fancy, along with creating new experiences.
  
• Good company – Kaz is more lonesome than he behaves, and does legitimately enjoy company, even though he plays it up.
  

Fears:

• Failure/Commitment – When Kaz decides to do something he goes all the way.  Failing is not an option for him.  This also makes him wary of what promises he makes however.
  
• Imprisonment – In the past, Kaz was forced to fight in an arena.  Now having a taste of freedom, he fears returning to his past life, or simply wasting away behind bars.
  

[Life]
Occupation: Vagabond mercenary.  He wanders around taking up the odd job, but enjoys the wandering around part too much to commit to a guild.  That, and trouble might follow him to whatever guild he would join, so he doesn't want them to get involved.
Family: None that Kaz knows about.  His closest father-like figure was Gunther Sewik, who was both strategical mentor and terrifying master to Kaz.  Having no known last name, Kaz took on Gunther's last name as his own.
Medical Conditions: Visible scars across his body, if that counts as a medical condition.
Pets: N/A
Hometown: Majority of life spent in Crocus, but Kaz does not consider it home.
Secrets: Kaz is trying to hide the fact that he's a mage, mainly due to the Magic Council's stiff policy on Guildless Mages.  He also keeps his past life at the arena relatively quiet, as there might be others who might try to silence him.

History:

[Guild & Magic]

Guild: Guildless
Guild Tattoo: Right above waistline level, left side

Magic: Earth Magic
Caster or Holder: Caster
Description: Earth magic is a multi-purpose magic.  It focuses on manipulating the earth around the user to either attack or defend.  By manipulating the earth's properties, the user can create shields or walls, or attack with pillars.  Earth itself can be changed to be extremely hard (great for defending), or very soft.  Simple sand can be hardened to be like metal.  Conversely, the user can soften the earth, which means the user can 'dive' into the earth with their hands, even through solid rock, concrete, or even metal.  The end result means that the user can be very creative with how they manipulate their surroundings.  
Strengths: Earth magic strives on manipulating elements into how the user sees fit.  It gives the user a unique opportunity to create direct defensive options, unlike other elements.  The user can defend not only themselves, but any allies.  Being able to make the earth softer also allows for utilities outside of combat.  Infiltrating enemy territory becomes much easier when the user can simply meld through a portion of the wall, or dig underground until they reach their desired location.
Weaknesses: Earth magic requires earth or surrounding elements to manipulate.  Being out on a boat, surrounded by water and wood, means the earth user would have nothing to use.  In addition, the defensive capabilities are superior to earth than the offensive.  While hurling stalagmites might have a certain raw edge to them, they lack the speed of other elements like lightning or fire.  Forming something from the ground also gives the opponent time to see what the user is doing, and how to react accordingly.

RP Sample:

Face Claim: Takashima from Special A

Desired starting level: 2

I'd say everything checks out here. He's well written and would be fun to RP with.

The only thing is, you state he has a great sword. When created, he can't have both the great sword and the earth magic, though purchasing a regular great sword would be relatively cheap for doing after making him.

Just let me know what you wish to do about that, otherwise I'll say you're good to go other than that one little thing.

After some discussion with Shinju, I'll give up a rank 1 spell and a rank 2 spell to compensate the cost of the greatsword.  Instead of having five spells, I'll start with three.

I had started to write that then got into staff stuff lol. Consider yourself approved.
