ALMINSTER
-
Character Notes -
Being born from the union of a gold dragon that took human form to impregnate his mother it was obvious what Alminster was. From birth you could see his gold skin and his parents gave Alminster up to an abby because they didn't want to have such a demon child. The monks of the abby tried to raise Alminster as best as they could but were unable to give him much information about either of his parents since his mother just dropped him off at the door. Due to his uneasiness about being unique and the townspeople blamming him for some fires happening in town he was soon chased out of town. Almister thought himself as unworthy and being possesed by demon blood and left the abby to go live in seclusion high in the hills as a hermit. Stories past the lands of both an powerful evil wizard hermit lived in the hills people went after him to claim the prize of killing such a demon. Alminster became angry at the world for trying to kill him even though he tried his hardest to stay out of it. As he was traveling back from a grove of trees as he did every other day he heard a small child crying out for help. Alminster was at ends because he knew that he should help her but was worried about what would happen if he got involved. After standing silent listening to the child he finally turned around and created some stones stairs so he could help the child out of the pit. Since her leg was broken he had to take her back to town himself. It surprised Alminster that she wasn't scared of him at all and thought that he was a 'cool' and nice person. When he returned the child he kept his hood low over his head just in case but was still greeted with smiles from the child's family when he returned her saftely. When Longinus came knocking on Alminster's door he retailated on this unknown wizard with all of the fire spells that he could use since he was so used to people coming there to kill him. "Take our your anger out on me because I can not be hurt by anything that you do," was what Sebastian said as he stepped out from a blazing inferno. After Alminster discovered who this mysterious person was he helped nudge Longinus in the direction that he thought was best. Even though Longinus didn't care much about the people in the lands Alminster helped him set up the Crimson Knights which both protected the people and defeated magical beasts, which was what Longinus cared about. Of course since Longinus's name was so well known Alminster was the first to lie saying that his master's name is Sebastian. From that time on no one else suspected and accepted Sebastian for who he was even though Sebastian never hid the fact of who he was. With the protection of the Crimson Knights Alminster was able to help himself and the lands as he was never able to do before and he owed it to all that 'Sebastian' did. Of course that also meant that Alminster would have to keep that fact secret from everyone else. Alminster belived that Longinus wasn't evil but someone like himself who had been rejected from the world. Alminster was helping Longinus out researching another Gate that they found when the same adventuring Party that he encountered earlier came flying through it. Longinus didn't know who they were and ordered them killed but Alminster stopped him when he recognized who they were, "whatever," said Longinus, "do whatever you want." Like all of the times before Longinus didn't really care about the outcome. Most of the group followed along with them in Longinus's airship as they made a slight detour before heading back to Miragon. When the bullettes entered the city Alminster took the battle to them with his wide array of fire spells. When Longinus said that he was going to retalliate against Micheal by himself Alminster knew that it was a bad idea. If people heard of him doing something like that they might get an idea of who he really is so Alminster told the Party to convince Sebastian to let them enter first to take out soldiers so Longinus 'wouldn't be hurt'. They were able to do that and took Alminster and Violet along with them for backup. When Alminster saw the clay golems come out of their hiding spots he knew that none of his fire spells would be able to do any damage. So Alminster relied heavily upon his druidic spells to take one of the golems down. Before he could do anything about it the Party took down Moray before they could find out where Micheal was located. When Longinus came through Alminster told him that Charisma knew someone who might know where Micheal is located so Longinus sent Graven to track them down. Alminster used to time before Graven returned to teach a few more magic tricks and secrets to Violet. Longinus almost left the keep without any knights for support but was soon joined with them as Kevrin assembled all the knights that he could. When they arrived at Micheal's Castle, which seemed to be a very ancient and large castle, Longinus ordered the troops to stay behind. The Party and Alminster soon followed behind him because they both knew what Longinus was capable of doing. Micheal emerged from his balcony and ordered his shield golems to attack and when one of them turned invisible Alminster used his magical eyes to view the invisibility making him the only one that could do that. Alminster released all of his fire magics on the golem before he used his own breath ability on it finally destroying the creature. As everyone ran from the castle to get away from the 'daisy cutters' explosion Alminster knew why Longinus stayed behind. Like the other time before during an explosion Longinus survived and then immediately ordered the troops to assemble and follow him back to the keep. |
