Elric Theranys

Elric Theranys was a known battlemage who was associated with the electrical element, able to use many forms of destruction magic related to lightning. He is a former Star Gazer, with his associate Anna Georence, and he played a role in averting the return of the Serpent.

Background
Little is known of Elric's background, other than the fact he was born in a port city of High Rock, near the seas, which leads to a large range of area he could have originated from. His mother was not an official wife of his father, instead being a mistress, and he has a full blooded sister known as Elaine. As a child, Elric's mother worked multiple jobs to provide for both him and his sister, and his father occasionally sent money back, if only to make sure Elric was educated.

It is unknown when Elric himself started learning magic, or who he began learning it from, but it is quite apparent he is either naturally talented at it, very intelligent or just started at a young age. Elric has chose to reveal very little about his past life, or what caused him to become a cynical and somewhat bitter person, although the stress of supporting his mother and sister is something that he mentions as getting on his nerves.

Elric is known to have traveled Tamriel since he was twenty, and other than his magical talent he has learned many other skills to aid him along the way, making him a strong and powerful combatant. He has also amassed a fortune that allows him to live comfortably, although he constantly complains about never having enough money, and always seeks for more. He sees supporting his family as a chore, since he regards his own ailing mother as nothing more than a burden and his sister as talent-less trash due to her lack of magical affinity in any way.

Personality
Elric Theranys comes of as a somewhat cold and detached individual, who often speaks with cynical and sarcastic comments. His upbringing was not considered harsh, but it greatly annoyed and disappointed him, to the extent he tries to distance himself from his family. He seems to regard people as nothing more than walking money bags, although his willingness to work for his pay rather than steal it suggests he has a sense of honor and self control that a bandit or thief would mostly lack.

Elric speaks with nothing but derision of other people, often seeming as if he second guesses good intentions and never sees the silver lining of bad things. He is a pessimistic and somewhat misanthropic individual on the surface who dislikes human contact at large. As such, his sarcasm and cynicism is specially targeted to irritate people and keep them away from him. As such, Elric views most things from a more logical, cost-benefit view, with him as the one who has to reap the benefits. It makes him moneyfaced and greedy to an extent. It has become an objectification of people, and he seems to be able to objectify and monetize everything, no matter the goodness of the deed or the worth of the person.

However, Elric has shown that despite his hate for his family, he has worked very hard to ensure they are supported, and has repatriated money back to them monthly to pay for their bills. He seems very determined to make his sister Elaine get a proper education, and has even taken time off to educate her if needed. Despite his complaints, and the fact he could have just cut them off, Elric has not done so, and it cannot be understood why he acts like that. He has even evidenced he is unwilling to get into a serious relationship only because it would hurt his finances even more, and he cannot afford it if he is to continue supporting his remaining family.
