Name: Waldemar Nische
Gender: Male
Age: 76
Background/Description: Waldemar's life is best described as being boring, barely worth of description. His early life was a shelter, demanding parents have made sure to crush his youthful, imaginative mind under the weight of responsibilities, damnating his every error and conjuring up low self-esteem that would later prove crucial to the young wizard's career.
Having learned all he could have been offered, Waldemar joined the academy, where his craft would be put to test. Under the strain of constant labor, trying to prove himself to others, but most importantly, to himself, Waldemar managed to aquire a respectable position of a mentor in only 10 years, a position which he would hold for the next three decades.
Now decrepit and racked by his tired mind, he is to face, what is very probable to be his only journey.

Being a mage his whole life, hell, teaching magic as it is to the future generations, Waldemar was a versatile spellcaster with a wide array of various conjurations at his disposal. He proved to be especially frail due to his old age, but the wisdom that came with such, more than made up for it.

And yet his wisdom did not aid him when dealing with a legendary Sphinx he met by chance on his way to the town of Aereo. The sphinx threatened to attack him, and Waldemar was more than happy to slog it out with the beast. However, he chose instead to take its offer of answering its question. He did so, and was correct, and the Sphinx offered him a single wish in addition to his freedom. This is where Waldemar made a major error. He was getting old. He was tired. He was nearer the dark embrace of death than he cared to be, and he asked the Sphinx to make him "youthful again".

This was his mistake. Youthful again. The sphinx reverted him to a body of a 29 year old, and the mind he had before he joined the magical academy as a mentor and teacher in that far off land all those years ago. He had lost everything; his skill, his knowledge, his proficiency.

It has been one year since he made his crucial error. His personal age has begun to bleed through, and he is not as skilled at picking up the magical art as he once was, much to his chagrin.

Main Gauche/0MP/This is a passive ability. You must have three other abilities to learn this ability. You may use a dagger or shortsword in your off-hand in addition to any one-handed weapon in his main. An off hand weapon in this sense replaces your shield. At the start of each turn, you decide whether to use it as a guard, providing +2 DEFENCE, or a weapon, reducing your DEFENCE to 0 for that round but making a separate Hit Roll for each weapon. You can only attack a single opponent in this way.

Florentine/0MP/This is a passive ability. You must have Main Gauche in order to learn this ability. This is an upgrade to the skill Main Gauche. Instead of a dagger or a shortsword, you may use any one handed weapon, effectively allowing you to dual wield any one handed weapon. You may attack different opponents with each weapon if you use both to attack.

Weaponsmaster/0MP/This is a passive ability. When you attack, if you roll a 1, 2 or 3 on d20, regardless of what your ATK and what your opponent's DEF are, you make a critical hit. This deals the weapon's normal damage immediately, ignoring armour.
