APPLICATION ( SALTBURNT ).
OUT OF CHARACTER
IN CHARACTER
CHARACTER NAME: H h... Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden
CHARACTER AGE: ~39 years old (in 2012)
CHARACTER CANON: Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files
CANON POINT: End of Cold Days.
ABILITIES: oh no please don't make me do this
MAGIC SPECIALIST:
— Excels in thaumaturgy ( small scale influences the big one ), ritual & ley line magic.
— Skilled at evocation, aka magic that makes things go "abracafuckingboom" ( elements, force magic ).
— Skilled at alchemy, sponsored magic, magical arts and craftwork ( making magical items, etc. ).
— Walking technobane; technology created after World War II tends to die around him. Nerfing this for the game so he can FINALLY use a cellphone and harass people with emojis.
— Access to soulfire, a divine-oriented spellcraft that uses the soul to augment power.
— The Winter Knights mantle, which strengthens ice-attuned magic, gives him inhuman strength/speed, high tolerance to pain, heightened vision and keeps his otherwise shattered body from falling apart. :) He is weak to iron, though and might classify as Fae as a result.
WIZARD SHIT:
— All wizards are capable of perfect healing. Same rate as a mortal, but to an extent that any non-fatal injury will heal completely over time. This also extends their lifespan by hundreds of years.
— The Sight/Third Eye, which allows him to visually bypass veils and illusions, showing things as they are. Anything seen in its Truest Form is, however, remembered perfectly. Forever.
— Soulgaze, where meeting someones eyes reveales a highly personalized look at one another's psyche/soul.
— Mild foresight.
— Death curse. :) Kill him and he'll take you with him.
OTHER ABILITIES/SKILLS:
— Decent with handguns (various heavy-duty revolvers and magnums),
— Good with swords (particularly skilled in a style akin to fencing)
— Knows aikido, ballroom dancing and other odd skills.
— Can piss you off at sixty feet with a well-placed pop culture reference and the audacity of the sun when you're hungover. 8)

SURVEY
WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER'S SOCIOECONOMIC BACKGROUND? WHAT IS THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO WEALTH?:
Poor. Definitely poor. Dresden essentially grew up as a carny with a traveling magician father, then became an orphan in foster care for around four years, and was adopted by an abusive wizard who he killed in a fire. Following that period of time, he was raised on a farmstead under another wizard, and traveled America once old enough. Unable to use technology, as well as socially crippled, he's lived on the fringes of society for decades — barely afloat, living in rent-controlled housing in a basement apartment without hot water, living on a diet of fast food and doing too much pro bono work as a P.I. because he's a bleeding heart.
WHAT WOULD/DID YOUR CHARACTER MAJOR IN?:
He actually holds a P.I. license in the state of Illinois, which means he passed a required training course/examination. So, essentially he pseudo-majored in legal studies! But, if he was a normal guy, he'd probably end up being a pastry chef. :)
WHAT IS THE MOST INTERESTING THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO YOUR CHARACTER?:
OPEN A BOOK AND TAKE YOUR PICK?? I'd say the most infamous thing he's ever done that fandom always talks about is necromance Sue the T-rex out of Chicago's Field Museum and Hi-Ho! Silver'd her into battle.
DESCRIBE YOUR CHARACTER USING ONE SONG FROM THE EARLY 2000S:
SUGAR, WE'RE GOING DOWN BY FALL OUT BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
NAME 1-3 VICES YOUR CHARACTER INDULGES IN:
Dresden is, shocking nobody, a tightly-controlled guy who keeps any potential for substance abuse tightly controlled. That being said, the vices he actually possesses are related to behavior/personality: callousness, disrespect and self-harm!
WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER'S LIQUOR OF CHOICE?:
Local microbrews, or VERY cheap beer!
HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER LIKE THEIR EGGS?:
Scrambled and slightly brown, like a HEATHEN.
IF YOUR CHARACTER HAD TO DRINK SOMEONE'S DIRTY BATHWATER, WHO WOULD IT BE AND WHY?:
oh god, uh
his own because he probably is the type to have the opportunity lounge in a tub and randomly do that thing kids do where they just fucking chew on their own washcloth like idiots
