Boris Raincrest

Personality
A shy but curious young man with a fascination for anything arcane.

Despite being the son of two diplomats and spending the first 16 years of his life living in relative luxury, Boris enjoys the simpler things in life, for example reading a book into the early hours of the morning by candle light and using alchemical and arcane means to make things explode.Despite his chaotic approach to mastering the art of the arcane, Boris makes sure to seize every opportunity that he comes across to learn and better himself, both as a person and a spell caster.

What he lacks in strength and wisdom due to his up bringing and youth he makes up for in sheer magical prowess and the ability to bluff his way out of any trouble that said magical prowess might get him into.

Backstory
Born in the city of Balisdur to Alistair Raincrest and Fiona Alivar-Raincrest, was very introverted, never willing to go with his parents to social gatherings and diplomatic functions, instead staying home and sneaking into his father's library to read books about various histories, legends and myths which did a lot in terms of building his yearning for adventure. Since an early age Boris was groomed by his parents to take up the mantle of diplomacy when he comes of age, a concept that Boris was never enthusiastic about.

When his powers first manifested Boris was 15. In the subsequent months as Boris started exploring his newfound powers, he grew more confident in his abilities, becoming cocky and even more obsessed with reading about the arcane arts, doing so in secret for fear of disappointing his parents.

Boris became progressively reckless with his magical pursuits as he researched increasingly complex spells. Once he read every book in his father's library he turned to stealing various tomes and scrolls from the numerous establishments around Balisdur, often sneaking off in the dead of night only to return and spend the next day going through the materials he procured, testing his abilities to control and conjure spells using scrolls.

During one of his escapades Boris came close to being caught breaking and entering after toppling over a book case whilst he was rummaging around, looking for spell scrolls. In the confusion that ensued. he managed to come away with a single scroll which he believed was a simple 1st level spell.
