[BCOLOR=transparent]PHYSICAL;[/BCOLOR]​
[BCOLOR=transparent]Body [/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent]|| Ross is a fairly well built individual, standing at five foot seven inches at his maximum height. With a square jawline, his chin has begun to stubble. His longer hair is a turquoise color, darker at the roots before slowly growing lighter to the tips. Narrower eyes match his hair color at the roots, simultaneously offering a warm comfort but a sharp gaze. He often wears glasses though it is unclear if he actually needs them since he has been seen without them. His hands have a variety of scars and are rough in texture from all of his work and experience. Ross almost always seems to smell of chalk, herbs, and smoke. [/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Clothes [/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent]|| Ross’s clothing is primarily comfortable however he does actively try to be a little more formally dressed for his work. He prefers looser tunics and sleeves pushed up to his elbows as to allow the most amount of movement. When out of his workshop or out of the classroom, Ross always has a little bag or utility belt that has a small notebook and vials. He enjoys a more natural color palette - any colors not found in nature, he avoids.[/BCOLOR]​

[BCOLOR=transparent]MENTAL[/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent];[/BCOLOR]​
[BCOLOR=transparent]Personality [/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent]||[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]Ross is a fairly cheerful being, with a smile on his features for most of the time. Passionate about his craft, Ross is always searching for knowledge on how to improve not only himself and his craft but also the environment and people around him. He almost always offer a helping hand if someone is willing to ask, otherwise letting people take their own paths - the only exception to this is if the other person is harming another or themselves.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Ross has a level head in most situations, always trying to find the path that his heart will lead him. Guided by instinct, Ross does not always have an explanation for his actions which can frustrate most - the best thing his can give is “for science!”. However, despite his almost nomadic personality, Ross seems very secure in his perception of himself and his life. Radiating an air of casualty, Ross can both be seen as comfortable to be around and too informal.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Despite his calm and almost parental like personality, Ross can often come across as far too blunt for his own good. He often can come off as fickle with how his personality is and how often his seem to just go with his gut. Because of this same way he follows his instinct, Ross can often not sit still and is incredibly impatient when something's needs to get done out of alchemy. Almost textbook workaholic, it is not uncommon to find Ross lying with his head on a desk sound asleep because he was up late trying to research more on alchemy.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Ross has a strong belief in the religion among the Yuli people. Very down to earth, Ross has a deep respect for every being from aliens to humans to plant life to even rocks. He avoids unsettling much of nature and its circles as possible, preferring to let things take nature's course when out and about. He has a strong love for the gods and elders of his people, as Ross believes that the gods are the one who decide his fate - he can move any way he please however the end goal is always for the Gods to decide.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]He has an internal rebellious spirit that will sometimes shine through the outward display, and Ross likes to call this the Nature’s Call - a part of everyone to just go where the wind takes them and live without thought, to live entirely on where his please. However it's this Nature's Call that makes him extraordinarily dangerous. As an alchemist, Ross is talented in both nature and science - but there was a limit to how much he knew. He chases after knowledge with a borderline obsession, willing to do almost anything to achieve it. As an alchemist, his primarily goal is to find or craft his own Philosopher's Stone to bring his wife back to him.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Until then, he seems to have a fancy for playing with potions. Potions have positive and negative effects like any drug, which needs a testing phase… well, Ross seems to have a desire to use those around him as test subjects. He generally does it more subtly or even straight out asks people to let him experiment, only using fairly harmful concoctions such as Potions on plants and smaller animals. But as of recently, his slightly warped mind has been shifting into the mind set that ‘plants and animals aren't enough. [He] needs more test subjects’. However he has yet to act on this portion of his mindset in fear of both lack of funding and being caught. He sees these experiments as pleasing to his gods, pleasing to see subjects such as him use what he was given to rise in power and perhaps one day master it to become almost the next generation of the God of Alchemy.[/BCOLOR]​

[BCOLOR=transparent]MORE[/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent];[/BCOLOR]​
[BCOLOR=transparent]Biography / History[/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent] ||[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]Ross had always been an alchemist, for as long as he could remember. As part of the Clan of magic, Akyr, he spent his childhood learning of the basics of elemental magic and learning plant magic with the other clan children. He found himself drawn to the artful magic of alchemy and all it could produce. Throughout his teenage years he studied diligently and dedicated himself to his craft, memorizing recipes and alchemy circles for not only work but fun. When it came for him to decide if he wanted to stay in his clan or find a new one, like many others, Ross chose to stay. At the ceremony was where he met his wife, Ida of the Clan of Arts (Paeno) whom he would date for a century before their engagement. Ida and Ross both followed their passions in their fields, Ida being a songwriter and part time singer and Ross following his heart to potion making. The two worked often during the day, finding themselves in one another's arms during the night hours.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Ross had quickly become well known in his field for his daring personality and desire to create new potions and circles to help enhance the world they lived in. Many called him crazy for many of his recipes, often returning home with hair singed and bandages across his frame. They called him insane and reckless for being apart of the test groups in some of his experiments, often ending up in hospital beds for his recklessness. His wife often teased him that his passion would be what killed him. Ida was a calm woman, having accepted his recklessness and drive long ago. Their friends would often whisper that they were the most in love among them, the two almost never seeming to fight - at least never genuinely fighting. Their marriage was a happy one.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]But there was unrest as the world around them became further and further industrialized. People were losing their faith in the gods and finding solace in material goods, and the monks spoke against this. There was heavy unrest that could be sparked at any moment. Ida, unfortunately, had been apart of that spark. Her work demanded for a peaceful solution to allow both material goods and faith, few were pleased with her lack of picking a side. The company soon followed. Both parties, already bitter of the almost civil war, attacked any whose belief did not match with their own. That or those without a side were caught in the caught in the crossfire. Ida was one who found themselves in the middle of a street fight, caught in the vines of those who bothered to use their plant Manipulation for something other than construction.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]At the funeral, Ross was comforted by his peers but he was angry. They let her die because they could not shut their mouths and find a common ground. Without his wife, his self control, Ross began to throw himself into his work more than ever before. The more he studied and experimented helped put his mind at ease that he could get his wife's life force back into her body - or perhaps an even better one.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]But there was only so much that his planet could offer in knowledge. Ross packed up his things, heading to a planet close enough in atmosphere to keep himself alive without use of technology. Finding Earth, he found himself on Manta Carlos. He needed a job and some money, so he applied to work at the Academy. Currently he has only been teaching for a semester. [/BCOLOR]​
