<strong>Lennox MacNaughton</strong><br/>Nickname(s): Len<br/>Race: Human<br/>Gender: Male<br/>Age: 20<br/>Rank: Journeyman<br/>Willpower: 7<br/>Player: tcost<br/><br/>Appearance: (Be descriptive)<br/>- include height, weight, hair (color/style), eyes, distinguishing features (facial hair, piercings, tattoos, scars, etc.)<br/><br/>Lennox is six feet tall, and 160 pounds -- a bit on the skinny side, but not without muscles.  He is cleanshaven, with auburn hair that sweeps back from a widow's peak and a strong jaw.  He's annoyed by his hairy chest, which makes him feel that he looks like a barbarian, and usually dresses to conceal it except on a very hot day or as circumstances demand it.  He has big hands and big feet, and when he begins to get angry those fists can ball up in a frightening way, and all of a sudden he doesn't look so unprepossessing anymore.  His hazel eyes are often busy, though when crossed they grow very intense, and the emerald flecks in them become more visible.  Of course, they can smoulder with emotions other than fury, too.<br/><br/>He does usually wear a kilt, even on fairly cold days, and his calves and his thighs are well turned, and here his muscles do show.  So does the hair on his legs, auburn like the rest of his hair, hinting at what can be found on his chest.<br/><br/>Personality: (30+ words, please)<br/><br/>Lennox is a gentleman and a scholar, and he badly wants people to know that.  He's a bit ashamed of his parochial background, and would like to be much more urbane and suave than he is.  He is very grateful that he has been allowed to study here.  This is a genuine humility, not a sham, of which he is only partly conscious of himself, and really is at odds with his wish to be known for his gentlemanliness.<br/><br/>Background: (50+ words, please)<br/><br/>Lennox hails from the backward northland of Dunverness, where his gift might never have been discovered had it not been for an itinerant healer who was brought to the keep where Len had been born, to see to the laird's ailing wife.  The healer saved the lady, and in return he asked to have Lennox sent for magical training.<br/><br/>Len had always been quietly avid to find a way out of his backwater home and learn of the finer things, but he had never dreamed that he might have a gift for magic.  Once he got to his new home he discovered that he had more than a gift, he had a genuine talent for the art;  had it been less, his spark might never have been noticed at all.<br/><br/>Non-Magical Strengths/Weaknesses: (try to keep somewhat balanced)<br/><br/>Lennox is just plain inconsistent.  At times he can let his true worth shine out, and dominate a discussion with the depth and strength of his arguments, but at others he can simply follow along in a docile manner. He is neither a leader nor a follower at heart, and it usually confuses people who don't know him well when he steps (in either direction) out of their expectations for him.<br/><br/>Magical Areas (Ratings):  22 points spent<br/><br/>Elemental Air 7  (I'm hoping for both lightning bolts and telekinesis with this)<br/><br/>Metamagic 5  (Detect and Dispel Magic, maybe magic missiles as the first level D&D spell?)<br/><br/>Protection/Warning 4 (he's curious about wards)<br/><br/>Healing 3<br/><br/>Mind Control 2<br/><br/>Alchemy 1<br/><br/>Game Limits: Site Rules,<br/>also no male/male.  Ask permission before trying anything extreme in any way.<br/>I can be reasonable for the sake of the story, but only with good reason.  For instance, I normally avoid NC, but if a situation can be created where NC makes sense, I could let that go.<br/><br/>Don't ask me to let my character be dominated, though.  You won't like the answer, no matter what my roar rating may be.<br/><br/>Specific Fantasies (3):<br/>1.  While visiting an inn near the school, a pretty young girl approaches Lennox, knowing that he is a magician, and asks him to cast some reasonably difficult spell, within his capacity but still not easily accomplished, for her (that does not involve any crime or other sinister purpose).  This supplicant has but little money and nearly nothing in the way of goods, but she offers the use of her body to him in return for the spell.<br/><br/>2.  Another winsome wench, this one either a faculty member or a staff person who works at the school, needs help with getting things down from high places.  Not only is Lennox tall, where she is somewhat short, but he has telekinesis too.  This is needed in the storerooms of the academy, where various magical items are stored.  During the process, Len has to move some magical item which, without his expectation, gives him insight into this girl's thoughts -- she has brought him here partly because she hopes he will try to seduce her.  Armed with this knowledge, he does so, though with some feelings of guilt because he has, however accidentally, learned of her wishes in a way that he considers unscrupulous, despite his lack of bad intent.  Perhaps this could be the beginning of an ongoing relationship?<br/><br/>3.  Len has found an old recipe and has whipped up a batch of love potions, which he takes to a party held amongst the student body.  Of course they're really more lust potions than love potions, and Len tells people what they are.  Those that choose to drink them will lose most or all of their inhibitions, and if more than two or three people drink them, an orgy develops, with people freely taking partners outside of established relationships and distinctions between faculty and student disappearing.<br/><br/>Homeland (Name, Description):<br/><br/>Lennox comes from Dunverness, a Scottish flavored place far to the WNW and considered a cultural backwater by anybody with any breeding or distinction.  The Dunn are a warlike people noted for their craftsmanship and the quality of their livestock.  One's word is important among the Dunn, but so is being canny enough to know the rare time to break it to the best advantage.<br/><br/>Race (Name, Description): (if non-standard fantasy race or altered standard - for instance a Qualinesti Elf [Krynn] would count as altered standard)<br/><br/>Human.  Celtic, to be more specific.<br/><br/>Notes: (As needed to describe entourages, familiars, etc.)<br/><br/>Lennox is a younger son of a younger son of the laird, who is in his seventies.  Len's father, Kennoch, is not expected to succeed his father, but events might transpire so that he does.  (Not in my plans.)
