Alright then.

Name: Zanas Stormcaller- the first name was chosen by him when he reached a certain point in his training and the surname was given to him as a joke by his friends

Age: Mid 20s

Gender: Male

Abilities: An accomplished mage gifted in the use of storm magic but strong in all elemental magics and several non-elemental ones though he avoids necromancy.

Background: Born to a simple family in a small village, Zanas was orphaned at age 12 when a bandit group sacked his village and he barely escaped. His magical talent was recognized by a traveling mage who took him to a Mage Academy for training. As he had no family or parents, Zanas was bullied by the other students and was not widely accepted by the teachers at the academy despite, or maybe because of, his quick progress in his lessons and his desire to learn everything he could. He was thrown out of the academy three years after he arrived when he set the worst of his tormentors on fire with his powers. This did not end his training as the same old mage that had first found him took him under his wing and finished his training, or at least got his past the student level. He eventually came to join a mercenary company comprised of a a retired veteran, a soldier who had been discharged for punching an officer clear across the mess hall (the guy had it coming), a disgraced war maiden, and an energetic ranger. They gave him the nickname "Stormcaller" as a result of his tendency to use lightning magic over all others.

Personality: Zanas is a scholar, and spends a fair bit of time researching news spells or just reading for fun. However he can take both take and make a joke and has a dry sense of humor that he rarely shows. He is the most practical of the company and has often had to pull them back from what he saw as insane plans.

Weapon: Magic and some small skill with the sword
