Character name: Ral Zarek Canon: Magic: The Gathering Canon Point: Post Dragon's Maze, Pre-War of the Spark Character journal:izzetthough
General Character Info: A storm mage from the Izzet League of Ravnica, a guild that tends to attract passionate, intelligent, and reckless individuals who can easily fall into the category of 'mad scientist'. Being a storm mage is pretty self-explanatory (noticed the constant storms in Shantytown lately?), but the more dangerous weapon is his mind. He's an inventor, came over with one of his toys from back home, and will immediately try to acquire a lab and supplies to start making more. Want to test some of them out? Don't forget to wear safety goggles.
On a person-to-person level, Ral is energetic, charming, but sharp-tongued. He considers himself the smartest person in the room at all times, and hates being considered second to anyone. He's also more than a little reckless and will happily poke and prod at something he doesn't understand, even if it goes poorly as a result. He does tend to keep people at arm's length, unless he understands what they want from him and consents to it -- life's taught him often that no one really wants to get close without wanting something in return -- but he's superficially very chatty and personable, if a bit full of himself.
Plan offering: There's a turf war in Shantytown, and Ral is participating in as much as it takes to keep them out of his warehouse, on loan from the Rooks, in order to continue his experiments. He's been rumaging through the city for various devices to break apart, test, and reconstruct into a variety of gadgets. The ultimate goal is to figure out how to break the barrier that selectively keeps everyone here, but no experiment ever fails. Sometimes they succeed at things you weren't currently trying to achieve. And that's always an option.
Plan seeking: His pursuit of answers and knowledge can best be described as 'ruthless' at times, and he'll want to delve into the mysteries of the city right away. To Hell with the consequences. He'll also want to align himself with the most intelligent people in the city, particular engineers and inventors, or those with extraordinary magical abilities. In his world, science and magic go hand in hand, so why would you ever want to solve a problem with just one?
