__________________IN-DEPTH STUFF

Physical Description
Jaibah has long, wavy raven blue-black hair normally kept in intricate ornamental up dos or half up dos. His skin is a creamy caramel and he has dark purple eyes. He has some muscle tone but is mostly rather lithe and slender.

Style wise he wears rather complicated and ceremonial robes most of the time.

Personality
Jaibah is rather stoic and quiet. He does not like people and prefers his library where he can research in peace. He is reclusive and his only real connection is with his brother Cijii, keeping anyone else at arms length.

Jaibah is extremely smart but can be quite uncouth when it comes to social ques or decorum. Most of his knowledge on these subjects is from outdated tomes and he has little experience with actual people. He is very distrustful of others and... just, shy. Of course his shyness usually is expressed as what is more commonly interpreted as animosity.

Magic/Abilities
He is very gifted in primal magic and can use some life magic naturally as well. Other than that his expansive knowledge of spells and potioncraft from various cultures has aided him greatly.

Jaibah cannot feel his own pain, but instead feels his brother Cijii's. As part of an elaborate coming of age ceremony practiced by their family for generations, when he turned 12 their hearts were removed and switched using rare and primal magics passed down by their ancestors. Because of this the sensation of pain was linked to their now swapped hearts and they only feel the other's physical pain and not what is inflicted on their own bodies.

Relationships
Cijii- His younger brother who he travels with and is very close with. The two are inseparable, though rarely seen together.

History

Juris Ataraxia

This secret society once had great mages from all lands in its ranks, but was purged for its acts against nature long ago and it's knowledge lost.

But not entirely. Cijii and Jaibah are the last descendants of the great Juris Ataraxia mages. They are bound by the rituals passed down by their ancestors and are tasked with continuing the society's work and protecting it's secrets.

(Will add more later)
