Mavilis Venox

Gender: Male
Age: Twenty Two
Birthday: November Third
Sexuality: Straight
Special Characteristics: He isn't too bad with a piano and certainly isn't a stranger to a night with a few drinks and a round or two of gambling.


Personality:
Mavilis is often reserved in nature, keeping to himself largely and not being one to get too close to others. He is knowledgeable, understanding of the world to some degree and is typically not interested in meaningless conversation. He prefers when things have a purpose, a reason for being instead of existing merely on a whim. This attitude can often make him come across as rather cold since he brushes aside people who he deems to not be beneficial towards his goals. He is willing to speak with others and tries to get along when he feels that it will be good for him, such as if he is working with a group of people on a job. He doesn't really feel a strong attachment to these people, and if he thinks it is better to abandon a weaker member instead of wasting resources on healing them, he would have no qualms with deserting them. Often he doesn't act in such a manner in a group as it would damage his reputation with him, but if it was only a partnership instead of a group, it may be a different story. His actions are largely based off of what is objectively better instead of morally better, not really being able to empathize with the people around him and instead, thinking about what would be the most logical option rather than the nice option. On the rare occasion, he may be able to form a genuine bond with someone, but with his personality being one that usually pushes others away, it is rare for someone to devote themselves enough to him as to bridge the gap.
In combat, this shrewd and analytical personality comes into the light. He often prefers to take on a role of leadership, rarely being okay with another being in the position unless it is obvious that they have exceptionally larger amounts of experience than he does. He would much prefer to take on a commanding role instead of being on the front lines himself, though when he needs to fight this mentality still holds strong within him. He prefers to control the flow of the battle, setting up situations where his opponent is forced to react instead of being able to push an offense. Keeping up a constant pressure is crucial, and every movement is critically thought out in order to maximize effectiveness. However, this also opens up one large flaw in his ability to fight, as he is so focused on juggling a variety of factors, that he might overlook something much more obvious, as well as being less capable of reacting when his plans fall apart. If his command of the field is taken from him, it will take him time to switch from his previous mindset to a more reactionary one, causing him to be wide open to attack and easily overpowered. While he is decently good with his fighting style as to not always run into that problem, it sometimes just takes a brash style or a creative thinker to quickly topple his chances of success.


Likes:

• Solitude
  He enjoys having time to be just by himself, training and thinking without interference from the outside world.
  
• Control
  He very much enjoys having command over situations, whether it be inside or outside of battle. He is not afraid to assert authority when he can, even if he isn't entitled to it.
  
• Independance
  He likes being able to make do on his own, not needing others to stay afloat. If he can do a task on his own, even if another person would make it much easier, he will opt to do it without the help.
  

Dislikes:

• Small talk
  He finds it to be a waste of time that distracts people from important matters, as well as seeing it as a forced formality that people aren't genuine about.
  
• Lack of focus
  He has a special distaste for people who cannot keep on track, finding them to be largely useless and overall a pain and a hindrance to him.
  
• Idealization
  When someone is way too optimistic about a situation or seems to put way too much faith into something (that isn't of his design) he tends to see it as foolishness.
  

Motivations:

• Authority
  He wishes to become well known for his abilities, putting him in a high position of power over others.
  
• Strength
  He also seeks to gain more strength and prowess with his magic, which will not only help him with his other goals but also allow him to be even more self-reliant.
  
• Intellect
  He also wishes to gain more knowledge, to increase his understanding of the world and his mental capabilities in regards to combat.
  

Fears:

• Not living up to his standards
  He puts immense pressure on himself to continue his growth and surpass others, created a deep fear of never being able to reach those goals.
  
• Reliance
  Similar to before, he pushes himself to be self-reliant and independent. He fears being unable to support himself or being too weak to function on his own.
  
• Attatchment
  Probably his worst fear, he does not want to let people become close to him. He only sees it as a way to invite misery into his life, something he feverishly tries to avoid at all costs.

Appearance:
Mavilis has an agile frame, good for quick movement, running, and acrobatics, but he is certainly not a hard hitter or a bulky individual. He has a bit of gruffness to his face, the stubble of a beard and generally a stern look to match. There is a small bit of muscle that is visible, though it isn't very prominent.
His attire matches his needs for combat. He wears a lightweight robe that only extends just past his hips and has a deep gray coloration with black highlights around the seams as well as the design of his tattoo on the back of it in black. Underneath his robe, he wears a black undershirt without any fancy design to it. His trousers are black as well, and he wears light leather boots that continue with the black coloration.
