• Description

  James is a thoughtful boy. and by thoughtful, I mean his brain is filled to the brim with odd knowledge regarding the arcane and creatures of myth.
  Considered by some to be a sort of prodigy, James is extremely intuitive about evaluating a situation. However , due to his lack of experience, he is more of a book-smart person than combat.
  Carries a small wooden spike wherever he goes, with runes carved into it. when the spike makes contact with an object or stabs something, the object will burst into flames internally, causing immense pain to his opponents. if necessary he can leave it in an opponent and use a word of power to cause said spike to explode, causing firey shards to scatter throughout the body even further. however this is usually a last resort for him in self defense, as he really isnt a fighter.

• Biography

  James was brought up by a father who was the the heir to a secret. For seventeen generations, his family had held possession of a book known only as The Rune Archive . Within said book, magic is made possible. and the runes gathered in its pages can make the bearer a powerful person indeed. James was taught from birth by his father to protect the book at all costs and studied its power, eventually memorizing it to the point where he no longer needs it to carve any rune necessary for his magic.
  At the age of nine, however, disaster struck, when a group of occultists murdered James' father and tried to steal the book. In a panic, James burned the book in order to keep the occultists from its secrets and fled. For the past two years now, he has been on the run, avoiding large cities and trying to discover more about the occultists who murdered his father.

• RP Idea

  Alone, scared, the dark is clawing for his soul.
  A boy, please help, aid or he will pay the toll
  The boy, chased by terrors, creatures of the night
  The dark, it must perish, 'fore devour's all in sight.
  
  The basic plot I'm going for is that while James is looking for answers, he encounters a woman who is also familiar with the world of magic. She could be a hunter of dark creatures(a la supernatural) a government paranormal investigator, or something else that fits with the environment. (I'm open to ideas if you have them).
  Anyway, as I was ex-positing, This woman would encounter James, and after some discussion and probably an encounter with something crazy and evil, would take him with her, acting as a surrogate sibling. Helping him to discover the true purpose of the Occultists, who killed his parent.
  
  I'm really looking for a 1X1 type of story, something that can be worked on for a long time to come.
