Character
Name: Darin Altway
Canon: Original Character

Familiar
Name: 'Lyon'
Species: Giant Antlion
Why did you pick this familiar for your character?: So, the Archfiends in Darin's lore have various traits shared with insects. More specifically beetles. As opposed to traditional demon wings, their wings are more like gossamer cloaks that fold around them, much like an insect. Since Darin is the reincarnation of one of these powerful monsters, his familiar was drawn to him. Antlions also grow to become large dragonfly looking bugs. Right now it's in its 'larval' stage and eventually might change as Darin's power grows.
Special features: Lyon's abdomen gets covered in more runes every time Darin masters a spell or some trait of his magic. What will happen when he masters both schools completely? Who knows?
How do they communicate?: Darin can 'sense' what Lyon is 'saying' but no words are ever directly exchanged. It's kinda like reading emotions.
Personality: Creepy. Lyon is always watching, even if you don't see him. He's rather obsessed with the nature of Darin's power, especially what he's technically a reincarnation of, and he was drawn to it. As such, he's highly protective of Darin but doesn't want to push him too far, lest Darin get suspicious.
Relationship with your character: For now, Lyon is watchful.
Visuals: Link!

Magic
Magic Types: Healing and Blood Magic
Why did you pick these types for your character?: I chose healing because I felt it would give Darin some growth potential to not be able to do the things he could back home with his unnatural strength and stamina. As for blood magic, I wanted something that would reflect the dark nature of who he is reincarnated from.
How does your character cast their magic? For healing, Darin's hands grow with a soothing, teal light. As he grows in power, that glow will change into crackles of energy. For blood magic, that 'glow' takes on a darker, almost black aura. Darin doesn't realize it, but his eyes glow when he uses blood magic and small markings appear on his face as well.
How does your character feel about their magic?: Darin likes being able to heal. He is severely off put by the blood magic, though.

What magic and familiar would your character choose for themselves?: Elemental and Technomancy, more than likely. He's a blacksmith, after all!
Anything else?:Nope!
