• Biography

  He came with his sister Ember into this world to a happy family, not rich, not poor, but working hard and honest just as the magic war had begun. Xander was old enough to remember the start of the war, where his sister wasn't. The excitement, from both humans and magic users alike to take over power over the other factions in the war. To eliminate threats and one day bring peace the realm had never felt! However this was not the destiny of this war. Xander and Ember came form an elemental family, magic users by birth and as magic destroyed the world around them the humans blamed all magic users. Ember and Xanders mother and father were killed by humans in fury as the war ripped the world apart and left nothing but ash. Xander grabbed his sister and fled praying neither one would share their parent's gifts. He had learned the basics of hunting from his father and self taught himself the rest as well as skills like pick pocketing to keep himself and Ember alive until the world slowly began to rebuild. His prayers to not gain his parent's gifts were a failure as on his 8th birthday he woke up entombed in a block of ice, he had created for himself. Scared he and Ember fled again and he learned he was a Ice Elemental. He learned to control his power out of fear and started to enjoy rather than fear his gifts. Although they needed to be kept secret at all costs. He is loyal to his sister more than any other sibling might. They are all one another have. Although does wonder when he might get a chance to actually live one day, be free to show his powers, find love, raise a family...that day might never come.
