Concept: Failed sorcerer turned university scholar

Character Name: Johan Davison

The studious Johan always dreamed of pursuing the mystic arts. His childhood had been filled with tales of mighty magicians conquering dragons and saving the day. It was for this reason that the young man sought an apprenticeship as soon as he was able. He studied under a number of different wizards for many years, but, while the mundane aspects of his study were areas he excelled at, true magic always alluded him. As he moved from wizard to wizard, each telling him he simply didn't have the true Gift, he became more and more embittered. Finally, he was unable to find any more wizards who would take someone his age, who had failed so many times before. He acquired a position at a university thanks to his scholarly aptitude, and began teaching students and studying history, all the while brooding about his failure.

I really like the character concept and the fact that he's not twinked at all. No spells is freaking awesome.

Only question is why his light is at b4, not b5.

Umm, wasn't thinking? :P

Yeah, the thought of a sorcerer without the Gifted trait was too good to resist.

That's what each of his wound tolerances are. For example, a Superficial is a b3, while a severe is a b7.

I figured Light and Mediun, but the others escaped me, heh.
