I think that's what you're asking. Something like that, I suppose. Been a prodigy at something for a long time, but forced to step down after something happened (like say old age or an injury limiting their abilities in their career. Hmm, would that be allowed, Spirit, or are we required to do their "present-day" (or something close to it if the OC's currently deceased)?

Going on Frankenstein cyborgs/androids, would an android/automaton built from the remains of robots be allowed? What about mad scientists? If you want to make a character set in the past, then feel free. Just be warned that you are probably going to have to do a bit of world building in the backstory, otherwise I'm not going to have any clue how he's supposed to fit in the world.

And the rule with androids/robots is that they can't self-generate aura. Robots that are incapable of generating aura, even if they have an extremely advanced AI that allows them to be self aware, are allowed. Of course, then you have the problem of 'if they are a robot/android, can they really be classed as a prodigy, or is it just because of their computer parts that they are so good'.
