▍ ❝   ONE.
I seriously don't know how to make guidelines but the common roleplaying etiquette should apply. One thing that I want to strongly discourage the lack of communication between muns, which means, no unplotted dramas. I get that not all muses will be friends together but please reach out to me first to warn me if there's a distinct/particular hatred or anything your muse had towards mine (or else I would cry for real).▍ ❝   TWO.
I don't have any specific triggers so anything is fine. I'm open to any plots whether it'll be silly stuff, gore, extreme violence, smut, etc as long as again, this is discussed with me prior. I understand that some replies might be determined by how my muse responds to them but if your muse thinking of flinging him off the roof of something please give me a heads up in the dms like "hey i'mma yeet him."

▍ ❝   THREE.
don't take him too seriously please▍ ❝  FOUR.
this should go without saying but none of the lore or characters are mine. this character portrayal does not reflect on sehun or any other media. there might be bits and pieces of inspiration from other media but none of it are mine. also mun is NOT the muse, please have the ability to separate the mun and the muse.▍ ❝   FIVE.
I'm slow on replies and plotting, especially mewe being not have that kind of reliable app or website. You're welcome to remind me to answer threads after two or three days (especially starters, please remind me should I promise any starter within 4-5 business days and it has not been met, please poke me). Should warn everyone that I am very forgetful so please, by all means, remind or poke me for replies (especially if there are any event/plot-related threads.)

to quote sirius iscariot, "the mage was ancient yet he carried himself with this perpetual air of cluelessness and this hassled look in his eyes, made the impression of a university student failing all his classes and burning his last braincells to save the semester."❝ PERSONALITY
jihan is pretty much introverted and aloof, he likes to spend most of his time alone in the library reading books until he is kicked out by the librarian. curious by nature, can be quite persistent when he wants to know about something. because he has spent most of his life alone, he is awkward when it comes to socializing and his words can sometimes be blunt and harsh.it’s difficult for him to make a meaningful connection with anyone so he mostly puts people within arm’s length unless those who he holds dear. while he’s really bad with words, he has grown to try to convey it through his actions instead. jihan can be quite dedicated to learners, he’s not the type to give up easily either.

❝ There are rumors about him, but whether any of those are truth is hard to tell. But one thing people know about jihan is that he has lived quite for a long time. He has existed since the bronze age and that he has witnessed a lot of things in his lifetime. Jihan feels like his life has been quite normal, the tribe he was born to was destroyed by a fire dragon. From then, he was taken into a mage’s coven in a foreign land and practice his magecraft for thousands of years.But there are only experiences that several, long-lived species know about him. It’s on how he’s searching for something or rather, clinging to a distant past. Which is why he has become an archivist for hundreds of years. But in truth, he was just reminiscing about the past, he doesn’t hold much attachment to the past.It’s clear that jihan has a strong liking towards books and archives, he’s the type to never stick to one thing–which leads to some rumors that he probably have mastered the four elements. But regardless, those are just rumors. Jihan has only been seen to be adept in using ice magic–mostly for cooling himself during scorching hot summer or making shaved ice.

Aren’t people drawn to mysteries? Which is why some humans who knows too much ended up being slaves.That’s exactly why he never go out too often. Some say that his familiar had it rough, taking care of a thousand year old hermit with tendencies of oversleeping. But jihan argued that over the hustle and bustle live both in stellaris and the earth, he prefers the slow relaxing day of not doing anything but sleep. Of course, sometimes he has to put some effort. Even if that effort comes from bribery of new books or hoarding ‘useless’ treasures.His residence in bellstrat can be described as an old antique storage. One would wonder on how he lived with the mess for thousands of years. Overlooking the mess, maybe one would find hidden gems in his place. Unfortunately, his residence is not open for the public.Perhaps somewhere in his three thousand, five hundred years of living he spent a period of time too long with a dragon to pick up their hoarding habits.One thing for sure, only those who knows Jihan, knows him.

▍ ❝   I.
✦ Fundamental Magic
The basics of magic are done by all Mages. These can include (but are not limited to): potion-making, curses, conjuration magic, illusionary magic, abjuration, divination, enchantments, invocations, etc.✦ Elemental Channeling
Elemental Mages can use their element(s) to power their magic and charge their core—this is done in different ways, depending on the Mage. A Mage with an affinity towards water might take a long bath or swim in the ocean, whereas a Fire Mage could sit within flames, unscorched.

▍ ❝   II.
✦ Elemental Control
Elemental Mages are not merely just charged and given power by the elements; they can control and manipulate them as well. A Mage with an affinity towards water can manipulate it naturally—from something small like carrying water from a faucet across the room to their cup, to something big, like razing a city to the ground with a tidal wave.✦ Familiars
All Mages have a familiar who will take the shape of an animal; the most common forms are that of cats, snakes, rats, crows, or dogs. The familiar is far more intelligent than the average animal and used by the Mage to perform basic tasks.

▍ ❝   III.
description of the habits and tendency of how he uses his abilities soon

▍ ❝   WEAKNESS.
✦ The Balance
All magic has a natural balance and no Mage can avoid this. To gain, something must be given, and if it is not, the universe will find a way to take, even so far as their own elemental affinity turning against them.✦ Vulnerabilities
Without magic, a Mage’s body is little more than a Humans. They are weak to illness and to physical harm. An Elemental Mage that is cut off from their natural element, or in a place opposite to it—i.e. a fire mage in an area of extreme cold—will have their body more greatly affected by the elements.

▍ ❝   WEAKNESS.
✦ Multiple Elements
Mages are able to channel and master many elements beyond their original affinity, but each element learned beyond their original affinity can stretch and damage their core. Their control over these elements is also weaker, and can lead them to losing control. A Mage who damages their core beyond repair runs risk of the core dying, robbing them forever of all magic.✦ Overuse
No Mage has infinite magic—when overused they can empty their magical core, leaving them weakened, or even comatose. Time spent within their element will aid a Mage in recovery, but this overuse can lead to long-term damage and should be avoided.

• an old fire dragon who kidnapped him thousand year ago and became the reason why he perfected his ice magic
