Fantastic Mr. Bombastic
"Darling, I must warn you that I like to play rough...But you'll have a blast, I promise."
BASICS
Name: Astricon aka “Fantastic Mr. Bombastic”
Gender: Male
Species: Elf (Vystrian)
Appearance: Dark crimson bangs mark this very odd creature. He tends to wear very flashy magenta-colored sleeveless garb which cuts off halfway to his waist, exposing his midriff, as well as bright orange slacks. Standing at a slightly short 5’8”, the explosive amount of danger he represents is hard to pin down in his appearance. All save for the crazed look in his baby blue eyes.

ABILITIES
- Bombs Away: Astricon has a peculiar interest in explosions. Often heard letting out sounds of odd satisfaction at the sound or sight of something being destroyed - not just hurt, but utterly obliterated, Astricon has incorporated this into his own magic. He often channels fire reiatsu into concentrated spheres, which he tosses around haphazardly - upon contact, this spheres explode violently. And in this explosion, one can hear a contented hum of satisfaction. It should be noted that he can use other forms of magic, such as to evade or conceal himself - but those implementations tend to be accessories to this main form. In addition, he has access to sound sub-manipulation as well as that of light reiatsu in terms of his offensive spells - mostly in the form of bursts of deafening sound or blinding flashes of light (or both).
- Agile: In his line of...work? One has to be swift to avoid the explosion.
- Archery: Astricon can use arrows to increase the distance of firing off his explosive magic.
WEAKNESS
- DANGER: EXPLOSIONS ABOUND: Mr. Bombastic is not immune to his own explosions, and neither are his allies. Especially in close combat and areas that force intimacy, he becomes a liability. ...not that he cares, and is prone to literally bringing down the house.
- Poor melee skill: as a mage and archer, Astricon has few melee options.
BACKGROUND
Astricon was a mage in love with his line of work - a researcher of the implementations of reiatsu and magic for the mage tower. However, after losing his love in an accident caused by one of his experimental spells, he...actually seemed to cope well.
Then others started noting a significant focus in his research on magic. That of magic causing destruction - not just any destruction, but ones with a similar effect to the one that took his wife - explosions. He increasingly became paranoid of others snooping around his array of spells and notes, and suddenly left one day without warning.
Unknown to others, he hadn't coped with the trauma at all. Instead, he had simply decided to cover up those painful memories by pretending that his wife never existed. Instead, he had always been in love with his research - transferring all his love for her into his job-turned-hobby.
Now there are whispers of a very suave gentleman of a mercenary who has a specific set of skills to offer clients who are willing to indulge his simple list of pleasures.
Astricon, aka “Fantastic Mr. Bombastic” or just “Mr. Bombastic” is a shameless flirt, often enjoying the usage of ‘explosive’ vocabulary to showcase his admiration for the objects of his desire. His signature calling card, by this point, is not very hard to figure out, and he tends to employ these to help with raids or to stop merchant caravans in their tracks.
