Otherworlde Tournament Champion 2k15

Basic Information

Name: Chrono Dele Alistair
Age: 453 years old -- 425 in stasis, 28 out of stasis | Physically 28
Height: 5'7
Species: Weather Mage
Species Description: A magically inclined person with high affinity for all elements and manipulation thereof. Specializes in combinations of elements to create various effects on the environment, from something simple as temperature change, or devastating such as a tornado. Volatile power comes at a price; the lifespan of a Weather Mage is chronologically 40-50 years.

Abilities:
  • Master Elementalism; can control any and all elements with the ease and patience of a fortified master. This was gained through taking all ELM classes but 102, as well as natural affinity per his bloodline.
  • Healing; can heal minor aches, pains, bruises, and small broken bones/cartilage, but nothing much more.
  • Weather Manipulation; can combine elements to create interesting effects on the environment, but can also manipulate the natural weather itself: absorbing it, strengthening or diminishing it, or deterring it entirely from an area.
  • Aetherkinesis; can literally create anything elemental-based from thin air/the energy around him. Can also convert the energy of one element and morph it into another element entirely.
  • Potions Knowledge; Has extensive knowledge of potions and plant uses due to continuous exposure.
  • Basic Shadowmancy; Can create and use shadow tendrils for multiple passive purposes.

Personality:

Thoughtful | Accommodating | Supportive | Self-doubting | Protective | Patient
"Thrust into the role he was perhaps born for... even if he doesn't think so."

Even as a professor, there's nothing surprising about this young man. Wrapped in solitude, he remains a warm and friendly face on campus, always ready to have a listening ear and supportive smile for everyone around him. He's a rather sensitive fellow, when it comes to the emotions and auras of the people around him, and sometimes their energy saps from his own -- but he doesn't mind, as long as meetings end on a positive note.

Within the classroom, it's much the same, though Chrono does change to fit the role he's been placed into. Speaking with a clear voice, he keeps his lectures short and fruitful in knowledge, never once growing annoyed or tired of questions. He enjoys seeing the excitement in the eyes of his students, and their work that they present before him. Never once does he insult or put his students at risk; no, rather he is always there with a guiding or helping hand, and a supportive pep talk to anyone who seems to be struggling. Though compared to the other teachers on campus, he thinks this makes him rather weak... but his students will be the judge of that, no?

Beware when approaching Chrono outside of class with any sort of ill intent, however. He has a feisty familiar at his side, who is the complete opposite of Chrono himself -- though he does go out of his way to try and keep her toned down...

History:


Pre-OW:
It's definitely not something he likes to talk about. He lost his family when he was six, lost control of his life to a madwoman until he was seventeen, and was trapped in ice for four hundred and twenty-five years after fighting a losing war. A year before coming to Otherworlde, he was released and traveled the new world that replaced his old home, alongside his friends and amid much political turmoil.

Years At OW:
He came to Otherworlde when the safety of himself and his friends was compromised. Seeking to master his elemental abilities, he enrolled in the Elementalism department, with only a passing interest in other departments (medicine and linguistics, in fact). He met a lot of people within days of arriving on campus, all of whom had a lasting impression on him. He wasn't the best at his classes in the beginning, but he sought help from the professor, Izzy, and as a result formed a close bond with the professor.

He found a partner in a fellow student named Oleander, and learned the hard way about how much he shouldn't trust the mountains on campus... and also how quickly he shouldn't be to trust his friends, either. Though Glitch probably had all the best intentions at heart, the result of him vying for Chrono's attention left Chrono with two failed relationships going into the tournament. The first tournament, in which an arm was torn out and he lost his life... truly, Otherworlde lived up to its name. Thanks to Glitch's partner (and his replacement, he's well aware) he lived with a shadow arm replacement for a good amount of years, a way to remind himself of what he had lost and how he still had to grow.

Following this, he fell still into a deep wave of depression and suicidal tendencies, outright trying to end himself, and was brought to Helmy as a result. Helmy took him under his wing and through the care and building up of Chrono, a relationship was born. Chrono lived with Helmy (and soon enough their daughter Skye) in relative peace, until the eve of the next tournament came about. When he with his last few classes of elementalism were pressing around him, he entered the tournament with the hope of sparing an innocent from facing the bloodshed he had.

Of course, the boy still suffered in some way, but it wasn't all for naught. Facing off against a powerful beginner in the final match brought about a whole lot of old memories from his soldier days, as well as full forged the mental and soulbound to his familiar. The end result was that Chrono managed to scrape up a victory, joining Glitch in the ranks of tournament championship... but at what price?

The time since then had mellowed out and died down, Chrono got his Elementalism degree finally, and soon turned his eyes to get the potions degree Helmy wanted so badly for him. ...however, it didn't seem like that was the true fate for Chrono. Watching with horror as the first professor he'd met on campus, Razik, left... and then hearing Izzy, his beloved mentor, had lost his partner and was leaving... really threw Chrono for a loop. Add onto the fact that his lifespan was starting to descend into one quickly primed for death by his inner elements ripping him apart, Chrono isn't quite sure he's the right choice for helping to take over the department.

With the help of friends and family, though, he's willing to try.

Misc. Information:

  • Riddled with scars, as previously mentioned. The ears are from him tearing out earrings in the past, the neck ones from vampire bites, and the one on his wrist from the time when he tried to kill himself. On his torso are jagged scars from Ruby's dragon fangs from the tournament. They're all hypersensitive to touch, and so he always keeps them covered.
  • Literally has no alcohol tolerance. At all.
  • Wears a promise ring on his hand, a set with Helmy.
  • Has three familiars. A shadow tear in the shape of a gyrfalcon named Tzisigli... a valravn named Pazon, who can shift to a humanoid form... and his main familiar, a fox-raijū named Alfiria. Alfiria is the one who tags along with him (or his daughter) everywhere, speaks her mind, and can occassionally take a humanoid-shape made of pure electricity.
  • Chrono has a daughter with Helmy, her name is Skye, after her deceased aunt. She's about 9 or 10 now, albeit pretty small for her age, a bit frail.
  • Voice of chaos from Xenosaga III

Character Relationships

| Bullet; Green - Likes | Bullet; Black - Dislikes | Bullet; Blue - Unsure | Bullet; Yellow - Interested By | Bullet; Purple - Saddened By | Bullet; White - Fearful Of | Bullet; Pink - Crushing On | Bullet; Red - Love | :bulletorange: Family love

The Coven (Cathy, Cressida, Dhakiyah, Diya) | :bulletgreen::bulletgreen::bulletblue: | The Coven is a safe haven on and off campus, and though he hasn't ended up meeting all of them, those who he has met have a solid place of fondness in his heart. (Well, except maybe for Cressida.)
The In-Laws (Drake, mDrake, Ronnie) | :bulletgreen::bulletgreen::bulletorange: | Though it's only by title, he's not married to Helmy... they're still family to him. Drake is the father he never had, mDrake a terrifying mentor, and Ronnie that troublesome cousin. He likes them all to varying degrees... even if Helmy disapproves.
The OTHER In-Laws (Kaine, Cipher, Morpheus) | :bulletgreen::bulletblue::bulletblue: | He likes them, but he's not quite sure they return the favorable gestures or anything like that...

Ali/mChrono | :bulletgreen::bulletwhite::bulletorange: | A tough-love sporting "twin" of sorts. He'd do anything for mChrono, even blinding himself for the other's benefit...
Atticus | :bulletgreen::bulletblue::bulletyellow: | They have passing encounters, and though Atticus is rather prickly, Chrono has no ill will toward him.
Casper | :bulletblue::bulletpurple::bulletblack: | Dislike is exaggerating it, but he's not quite sure he feels safe or quite likes the stabbity mc stabberton over there. They were friends... but then everything changed.
Clement | :bulletgreen::bulletgreen::bulletpurple: | He feels the other's depression and sadness so clear, and he wishes he can make it better. Clement was often the target of his aura assignments... and honestly might still be, for practice. Anything to cheer him up.
Dyami | :bulletgreen::bulletgreen::bulletyellow: | A thunderbird? With extensive knowledge on... nearly everything? Who's nice? And will help him out? And is now a dear friend of his? Truly a blessing in his lap... there's hope yet for his future.
Emily | :bulletgreen::bulletblue: | Sorry about everything. Hopefully over time things can be patched up...?
Glitch | :bulletred::bulletorange::bulletorange: | There may be stray feelings there, but for the most part his love for Glitch is deep and pure, innocent and true. They're best friends, and now co-teaching the department they first met in... life sure is strange, but he's always grateful to have Glitch as a friend. ; u ;
Helmy | :bulletred::bulletred::bulletred: | He knows he always has his partner's support, and vice-versa. Their story isn't the prettiest, and a lot of people wonder how Chrono can "deal" with Helmy, when honestly he knows Helmy isn't ALL that bad. He dreams, one day, to either consummate his relationship with the other... or get married. Something. But it's a fleeting dream, and he's content with what they have, really.
Iris | :bulletgreen::bulletblue: | Surely a lovely lady, and he looks forward to seeing how she's progressed since he last taught her!
Izzy | :bulletpurple::bulletpurple::bulletpurple: | Sad... sad and worried he's not good enough. His dearest mentor, he'll miss you a whole bunch. ;n;
Jasper | :bulletgreen::bulletyellow::bulletpurple: | He was so excited to take his last Linguistics class with you... but alas. Perhaps you can still teach him behind the scenes?
Luca | :bulletpurple::bulletorange::bulletorange: | A sweet, literal, angel this boy is... and a consistent enough person in his life that he finds himself so so fond of him. Luca is always a reliable source for warmth, hugs, and love... and of course heavy textbook research when it matters. He looks forward to teaching Luca, and seeing him graduate -- and most of all, being the one to give him the diploma.
Ruby | :bulletblue::bulletyellow::bulletwhite: | A woman whose mere presence stirs up ill feelings and bad memories... yet why does she bear an uncanny resemblance to dragons of his past? Coincidence? He's not sure... and he's not sure he wants to find out.
Samhain | :bulletgreen::bulletgreen::bulletpurple: | Such a bitter boy... but he'll be his permanent teacher now! Perhaps he can help Samhain feel and grow stronger and be happier? He can only hope... he wants to see the other smile so bad.
Sinclair | :bulletblue: | ???? What has he done to you?
Skye | :bulletorange::bulletorange::bulletorange: | Sweet winter child, of course he loves her. He'd give Skye the world on a silver platter if he could.

Samples
Script Sample
Chrono: *usually. Nowadays if he heard about Helmy disasters, he didn't rush to the scene* *he figured why waste the effort? Helmy wouldn't stop and he just had to figure that out* Fiiiiine. Just a little tipsy... mmm you're warm. *closing his eyes, he let out a small huff and rubbed his cheek to the other's chest a bit* Or you can just make a resolution for the fun of it? If you liked last year... m-maybe this year you would make it even better? We should make it better... we should do that vacation thing... wait! *he sat up, eyes wide* Aren't most of the classes canceled this term? So that means... ah! Can we go on a vacation? *his eyes were bright, a little glassy from the alcohol, but bright with the idea*
Lit Sample
The knowledge hit him, and settled within him very quickly. Years of all that soldier life, that training, it put him near at ease immediately... he took the knowledge without batting an eyelash. Many times he'd been on the killing end of those bodies, just as many times he'd been on the receiving end of the news. Chrono knew what emotions Luca must have been going through, and when that small, pale hand reached for his, Chrono wrapped both of them around Luca's own, giving it a squeeze.

"...who?" he prodded, gently. Was it someone Luca knew? That could have made it even worse, honestly, if the dead body was someone he knew. "Who was dead...?" But if Luca didn't know, it was fine, of course. Luca was a sweetheart, a literal angel and all -- he couldn't be expected to deal with this like Chrono. He was a believer in life, a gift-giver of healing and good vibes and the like. Only now was he getting the sight of the truth of Otherworlde, as if the tournament hadn't been enough.

While he waited for Luca to speak up, the tea water began to whistle a bit behind him. Chrono looked over his shoulder, and then squeezed the boy's hand again. "I'll be right back, let me go back the tea...."
