At court functions, or on the non-occasion he goes to war, Sage armors himself with a white-gold breastplate trimmed with indigo. At all times he wears an silver ring, engraved with the whitechalk family crest, and fitted with a large aquamarine - his spirit-stone.
Spoiler
Sage the beautiful heir to a powerful and illustrious family of mages. He is a unique specimen and knows it, and carries himself with all the arrogance and bravado he can muster. When Sage enters a tavern, everyone gets a round and their dinner paid for; if there is an archery contest he needs to win, and strike his opponents' arrows down mid-flight. Of course, surrounding himself with an entourage of sorcerers and magical creatures to draw power from helps him stay the center of attention.
Sage is well aware of his precarious position in life. He may not always have his family fortune, wizard-servants, or dashing good looks. He is bad with money and spreads himself far too thin working to make and keep friends.
His one true achievement, independent of his station, is mastery of the Children's card game Monster Mash! He is, nonetheless, deeply embarrassed by this fact...
Magic/AbilitiesSage can mimic and amplify the magic of others. At a given time he can only command one set of powers, which means to acquire a new spell he must give up an old one. By proximity Sage knows if someone has magical potential, but not necessarily what they can do. It is completely possible for Sage to steal someone's magic and have no idea how to wield it properly. If he were to stick a single spell, Sage could indeed surpass its user with practice. Nonetheless, he has a short attention span and gets bored very easily.
As a highborn heir, Sage is trained in riding, swordplay, and forestry. While he is not an especially gifted fighter, years of practice has made him a competent knight. Coming from the Whitechalk family, known for being indolent and reliant on magical servants, he is proud of his middling martial prowess.
Lastly, Sage is a rather talented player at the children's card game Monster Mash! He became hooked on the game as a boy, some years ago, when it first grew popular in Serendipity. As a young man he continues to play, and win, though is rather embarrassed about the whole thing and tries to keep his life separate, despite the fame and notoriety it wins him... among thirteen-year-olds.
