Edit Reason: to fix pvp flag size
)
Name: Reynold del'Ortine
Age: 53
Race: Human, from the kingdom of Shallot
Hair Color: Blackish, patches of gray
Eye color: Deep Green
Height: 5' 7"
Occupation: Sage
Also referred to as: The Sage, The Scribe, The Loremaster, The Historian, the Libromancer
Important Characters from the past:
Viscount Falstaff del'Ortine (father)
Viscountess Deria del'Ortine (mother)
Magister Cerix (his teacher from the academy)
Tenrim, the stretcher (Bandit leader)
Yianna the Wood-elf (friend, mentor)
Personality: The Humble Sage is a man who does not always live up to his own ideals. Though he is generally earnest, and for the most part wishes people well more so than ill, he highly values his own intelligence and this can easily make him sound arrogant even when he isn't trying to be. He follows his own moral code that at first glance appears incoherent. The Sage's approach to living derives from a few key principals:
Reynold is very intrigued by the effects of history on the future, and seeks to learn and record as much of the verses as he can (It'll take him a while). He is curious, but also cautious enough generally not to show it. He often record important bits of lore into one of the books he keeps on his person, etching the words with a fine charcoal pencil. He is also incrediably excited at the unique opportunity that the Omniverse gives to one such as him, he is a historian set at the very beginning of a new world, and the events of its past are questions he may well be able to answer definitively in a way that no other historian ever can. It is his ambition to compose a collected Omniverse Historia once he has had a chance to conduct research on the events of the last eight years.
Though he would not admit it, Reynold is still bitter about his failures as a Battle-mage, and is envious of those to whom magic comes easily. While he has extremely limited abilities with magic, what little he has does not come naturally, and he does not like to use it (out of spite mostly). He also still harbors political aspirations, whose potential for success is much better here then in his homeland...
Tactics: Reynold is not a tough fighter, He does not have the athleticism or raw power for it. Instead he focuses on precision. He wields a dueling cane and uses only the lightest of armor. In combat, his focus is on survival and evasion. He is seeking to survive the foe more than to destroy them. When he sees an opportunity he will do his best to disable and disarm, looking for the weak points in the opponents strategy.
The word-based magic that Reynold possess is equally strange to him, and certainly not something natural to his own plane. he strongly suspects that his new abilities with this bibliomancy is related to the strange tome he found shortly after arriving in the Omniverse, but he has been unable to decipher the language the book is written in, (despite the Omniverse's general auto-translations) and cannot truly understand what cost these new powers are associated with.
The Sage only carries a finite number of books with him and the words are unable to be returned to the pages after use, for this reason he must ration these powers until they are actually needed.

He follows his own moral code that at first glance appears incoherent. The Sage's approach to living derives from a few key principals:
- Thought before action: it is always better to gain more information, unless intervention is absolutely necessary. Things are often connected in unexpected ways, and the more variables you have solved the better you can avoid unwanted side-effects.
- lead only when needed: The Sage only takes command of a situation when it is absolutely necessary. He greatly prefers to wait for others to show their intelligence, so as to know better who he is dealing with. he has opinons and will not hesitate to voice them, but he also wants to know what to expect from those he works with. How else will he find the real power-players of the Omniverse?
- Progress at cost is still Progress: The Sage is slow to commit to a goal, simply because he knows that once he is commited there is no going back. He will take a sideways step when no forward step is present, but a forward step is almost always worth the price. He does have a few limitations on this rule, but he is certainly willing to commit actions of moral ambiguity if they will accomplish his goals. KEEPING IN MIND...
- We are standing on the stage of time: As a historian, the Sage is keenly aware that his travels may be recorded. Even if there are some questionable choices the Sage is willing to make, in the eyes of history the actions should look good.
