Auguris Aureo Character Overview (Patreon)

I felt like doing some world building today, and I came up with this character. Wanted to fill in some more of Cransmere's adventurer roster and naturally decided to figure out who is the defacto strongest first off.

-

Auguris Aureo

Gold-rank
Class- Metallurgist
Male, Human, Age 34

Physical Appearance:
Short, trendy silver hair swept to one side
Stern face
Square glasses
Wears an expensive-looking shining coat, fancy boots, and gloves

Equipment:
Mineral Coat, a coat that can change into a wide range of minerals and metals by using some of his mana. Used as material for various spells, saves him mana from having to make material himself. Regenerates over time. Anything generated from the coat will turn to dust after the coat leaves a certain range, preventing him from selling an absurd amount of rare minerals.

Oricalchum Dust Wand, an absurdly expensive wand made of rough, rock-like wood and Oricalchum powder. Excels at earth magic.

Personality:
Stubborn, serious, abrasive, scholarly, single-minded

Overview:
A talented Mage who specializes in metals and minerals.

Graduated from Tior’s Magicademy at 25, his graduation project was the creation of his Mineral Coat which is now considered advanced equipment for other Metallurgists who can afford one. He used the money he earned by selling the copyright to purchase his wand.

Lived in Gundinar for 6 years studying the minerals and metals of the mountain and fraternizing with the city’s Dwarves, becoming an adventurer to supplement his income.

At 31, he moved to Cransmere to investigate claims of strange minerals found within the Gnarled Woods. He’s hard to deal with and won’t accept quests unless he needs money. Lives in the Guild’s Gold dorm to save money, and is researching the aforementioned minerals.

Currently considered the strongest adventurer in Cransmere, a title he couldn’t care less about.

His ultimate life goal is to raise enough money to study the secrets of Hal Moldihr and its many rare metals that can’t be found anywhere else. He’s applied for research grants that would allow him to visit the Realm multiple times but has been repeatedly turned down due to Dwarven interference. They don’t want a foreign Mage coming over and messing with their shit, so if he wants to go there he has to raise the funding himself.

Battle Style:
His spells focus on the creation and manipulation of metal. Starts battles at long range but any who close the gap find a nasty surprise, Auguris is a mage with plenty of power at close range. He’s not physically powerful in his own right and he doesn’t use Arts, but he coats himself in metal armors by using his coat. He can make a full coat, or gauntlets/boots for punches/kicks. When he has to get serious, he uses combination spells to create chemical reactions.

Unique Abilities:
Through a combination of magic and experimental alchemical potions that altered him, his body is resistant to the harmful effects of just about any mineral. He can coat his entire body in sulfur, mercury, and so on and suffer no adverse effects.
