Appearance Description:
Alfyn has a decently built frame and is easily able to fill a shirt with his muscle. He can look a little rough around the edges at first sight, what with his wild brown hair and his tattered-looking uniform, but at 6’ and 180lbs he’s far from being the most imposing figure. He’s fond of his uniform, as he inherited it from his father and his father before him - it’s a family heirloom of sorts.
The uniform consists of a green woollen tabard which is open at the sides, a brown leather vest, a cotton dress shirt and a pair of tan trousers. He often puts on a pair of brown leather riding boots too, since he often has to make trips into the woods (and the forbidden forest) to obtain special plants for his concoctions. The tabard is inherited while everything else was made specially for Alfyn.
Alfyn has vibrant green eyes with specks of brown in them and a sort of rugged easygoing charm in the way he walks and acts.
Personality Description: Alfyn is a kind and friendly young man, although he can be a bit naive since he always assumes the best of people and is wont to give people the benefit of the doubt. This can be a weakness of his as it makes him easy to take advantage of, but he’s not an idiot. He can tell when he’s obviously being lied to. Slow to get angry and with a warm smile, Alfyn is a big sweetheart with a strong sense of justice.
Active Abilities:
Infused healing: Alfyn can infuse some things he touches with healing power. For example, if he infused water with some of his power, he could bathe in it to heal scratches and small cuts within seconds. It essentially speeds up the healing process by four times its normal length, with a broken arm mending in a week rather than a month if he treats it with an infused poultice. Alfyn cannot heal people directly so must infuse his power into an item that he is touching, and the healing only works on humans and human-like beings, not animals or objects.
Toxikinesis: Alfyn can control poison, drawing it into or out of objects and people. This includes drugs like alcohol and sleeping agents. However, Alfyn cannot create poison out of nothing. He must have access to things that are already poisonous or have toxic elements. An example of this would be to draw the cyanide out of a cyanide-producing fungus. To use this ability, Alfyn must be touching both the poisonous object or poisoned person and the object he wants to draw poison into. He cannot move poison about - only drawing it into or out of people and objects. It often manifests as a sludge that can be poured over objects or put into/onto consumables.
Charming: Alfyn can exude an aura of warmth and kindness, which calms people down and tugs at someone’s conscience, often making them want to trust him. He’s naturally charismatic too, making him hard to resist for those who have emotions and are untrained at resisting charm spells. This can be resisted if someone is aware he is using this power, although it is difficult. This power only works on one person at a time, and the person must be within a 3 metre radius of him. It also causes his irises to give off a very faint green glow while he is using it - noticeable to those who know what to look for. This ability works on animals as well as humans, and animals have a harder time resisting him.
Passive Abilities:
Eye for nature: Alfyn can identify most plants on sight, and can tell when he’s looking at something he’s never seen before. His memory is almost like an encyclopedia when it comes to plants, with their effects and properties appearing in his mind like a pop-up notification. For plants he has not seen, he can experiment with them or research them and log their useful qualities and interesting features into his memory. This ability also applies to plants he has researched but not seen in real life.
Aptitude for concoctions: Alfyn is skilled with a mortar and pestle, knowing how to bring out certain qualities of herbs, spices and other plant or animal-based substances to achieve certain effects. He can create and use poisons, curatives, stimulants and more.
Forest-lover: Alfyn feels at home in nature, and his powers are strengthened as a result of this. If he draws poison out of a tree in the woods, he can concentrate more of it into an item he’s holding; if he’s infusing his healing into an item in the woods, it retains its healing nature for 3 hours longer. If he’s trying to charm an animal, he can simultaneously charm another nearby animal. For humans, they have an even harder time resisting him, though the power’s range remains the same. His toxikinesis is sped up in the woods, and he can extract poison more efficiently. This works as he draws on the natural life energy that plant life gives off to strengthen him.
Weaknesses:
Glamour gullible: Alfyn is weak to glamours, meaning that it is harder for him to see through them. For example, if a faerie were to pose as a human by using a weak spell that others might be able to see through, Alfyn would have to have the glamour broken in order to see the faerie clearly.
Biography:
Alfyn grew up with his grandfather in a small cottage in one of the woods of Mantra Carlos, which is where he got his healer training. He descends from a long line of healers who have served both the nobles and the common folk in the past. His powers have been passed onto him from this bloodline.
Eventually, Alfyn decided to set up a shop downtown, which gets the occasional customer. Alfyn bases his prices on a case by case basis, and is happy to heal for free if he deems that the client cannot reasonably afford to pay. To keep the books balanced, he sells a range of cosmetic concoctions - his lovely lace line of hair conditioner and skin lotion has proven popular. These he is less willing to freely give away. Alfyn spends most of his days tending his garden or visiting the woods on plant foraging trips.
Resources:
Alfyn isn’t rich but also isn’t poor, owning a small property on the outskirts of the city and a small plot of land in some nearby woods that he plans on developing someday. He also has access to a laboratory in his shop and a small storage room where he dries his curatives for convenience, with an herb garden and storage shed out back behind his shop. He lives above the shop, in a small apartment which is furnished with all the essentials.
Additional Information:
Alfyn’s parents died when he was young, and he has no siblings that he is aware of.
