General Background Information:
Roland Nai was born in a small, isolated village. His father was the town's only doctor, and an important member in the community. One fine day, a woman was brought into his hut, suffering bite wounds from an unknown creature. He treated the woman, and found that she was a sorceress of mediocre talent. As he treated her, they grew close, and married. Roland was born on a rainy day, the weather forshadowing his dismal future.
From an early age, Roland showed interest in the art of magic, and was trained by his father as a physican. It didn't take long to put two and two together. Roland wasn't interested much in the actual healing process, the real attraction was in the functions of the body. Why did this man's appendix explode, and this man's was healthy? Why did this travelling elf have a greater resistance to deasise than a human in his village?
Roland's talent as a magician bloomed upon the discovery of a simple spell, but one with infinite permutations. The spell of changing life became his mistress. Though he found that it required a fair amount of magical energy to perform even the simplest spell (Requring a magic circle to focus the energy, and occasionally a pricey ingrediant.), he was none the less enchanted. The villagers started to notice rather strange, but harmless, creatures around the village. Birds with the legs of spiders, but no wings, rats with the huge eyes of owls.
Things took a turn for the worse when Roland turned 26, his mother on her deathbed. Her leg was being eaten away by infection, the seeds of which were likely planted all those years ago by the monster that bit her. He decided to use his talent to take action.
He purchased a simple potion to make her sleep from a passing trader, and began his work.
He dragged her limp body to a magic circle of his own design, placing her decaying limb into one part of the circle, a few nuggets of gold in the center, and on the other side... the hind limb of a recently deceased dog.
He watched with a mix of horror and fascination as the limb of the dog severed, and stretched to human proportions, and the leg of his mother turn to ash. The nuggets of gold in the center of the circle burst into flame, consumed by the intense concentration of magic they were designed to channel.
The result was not recieved well by the people of the town. His mother was killed, and Roland fled, fearing for his life.
He spent the next few years of his life drifting, settling down in a strange desert for a time, where he found his skill could be marketed.
The people of this strange desert were decidedly less pickey about those who inhabited their land. Walking along a desert rode one day, Roland came upon a man combatting a scorpion of monsterous proportions. He hid beind a large boulder, knowing that he was far too unskilled in the art of swordplay to even begin to assist the man. The man won out against beast, but in its' death throes, the scorpion's claw severed the man's arm. He quickly feinted from the shock. Roland looked from the scorpion to the man, and back again. He knew what he had to do.
Using the man's sword, he cut off the claw that had claimed the man's arm, and drug the man back to his home. Using his last few gold nuggets, he hastily constructed a magic circle, and created another monster.
Far from being upset, the man was delighted with his new appendage, and upon finding out the power of the scorpion's claw, he paid Roland a small sum of gold.
Roland held the gold in his hand, smiling. He had found his place in the world.
He spent the next few years performing similar procedures. The shell of a the scorpion proving, when the proper magic was applied, to make a mighty armor for a customer, albiet a piece of armor he could never take off. The fangs of a desert snake, the nose of a cayote.
All was well for a time, until a rival tribe killed the more accepting peoples of his adopted village. Despite the numerous magics of change he had applied to his people, they were overwhelmed by sheer mass. The rival tribe viewed them as monsters, and Roland has their creator. Again, he was forced to flee, to a land he knew little about.
Kiwike.
tl;dr
Magical scientist, focusing on the magic of taking one thing, and mixing it with another. Using this magic requires a "magical circle" and some gold nuggets, or another semi-rare material, depending on how difficult the magic is. He's almost useless in a fight.
Physical Condition/Description (what do they look like, what do they wear, all physical elements of a character): Roland is starting to show the signs of aging, silver streaking through his black hair. He wears a simple black tunic.
What is your character's main objective? What do they wish to gain out of this experience of living?: Immortality, knowlege, wealth, and power. In that order. He strives to push magic, and magical science to its breaking point, just to see how far it can go.
