Yasker Romundia

Yasker Romundia,

this is gospel for the fallen ones

Yasker is a proud Magi that comes from a proud magi family. With both his parents being magi and well off, his belief in magi superiority was reinforced throughout his childhood and life. He believes that humans are less than magi and were actually meant to serve them once magi evolved past being simple humans. Cyborgs are pathetic attempts at trying to catch up to magi through technology, doomed to eventually as the grandeur of magic cannot be replicated through technology. Yasker holds no humans or cyborgs in high regard, finding both groups to be despicable for rebelling against the natural order of things, that being the magi in control and on top.

Yasker believes that it is all magis' duty to help in the effort to correct this error in nature, any that don't are almost just as bad as the hunters that try to prey on his kind. If you aren't with him, then you're beneath him and he isn't above the notion of killing other magis to make a point. His family does their part by funding the Magi Liberation Movement and since he watched the relocation occur so many years ago, Yasker has been training to do his part as well. Whether through causing chaos on humans, manipulating the politics behind-the-scenes or perfecting his magical talent, Yasker is willing to do almost anything to see the magi established at the helm of the world, convinced that its the right path.

Of course Yasker isn't doing it all for the other magis. Yasker sees the movement as a chance to put himself in a position of extreme power should they succeed. Then he'd be able to dole out the well-deserved justice on humans for their folly and decades of unearned sense of superiority and rule, from a seat of absolute power. This ideal of helping himself through others is also displayed in his religious beliefs. Officially he worships Arithelia, providing offerings when he can, but only in hopes of being blessed and imbued with power as a means to an end.

However those are simply his beliefs, not who he is. Yasker is rather easy-going if given the respect he demands and believes he deserves, oftentimes reciprocating generous actions with ones of his own. He's a man that places great value on loyalty and family ties, not taking kindly to slights at either of those. In most situations he's aloof, approaching most things with an air of amusement and superiority, even combat, until he starts running into complications. Yasker isn't easily stumped but he is most certainly easily annoyed by obstacles in his way, seeing them as actively trying to prevent him from achieving his destiny and birthright. To the things that get in his way, he has no qualms about completely obliterating them, if that is within his power. He is capable though of staying his hand when he would otherwise prefer to eliminate someone. Maybe he believes them to still have a use to him alive, or that killing them would bring even more unknown or negative variables into his plan, but if he sees it as counterproductive then he might be willing to overlook the transgression if his pride allows it. Yasker isn't one to self-censor either, always judging and always letting others know where they stand with him, to a degree. He is loath to hold his tongue unless there is dire need for him to do so.

Despite his often abrasive and cavalier attitude, Yasker is incredibly curious about almost everything, even humans to an extent. He believes that everything and everyone has worth to the world and to himself, not matter how minuscule. He rarely turns down a chance to experience something new, intent on eventually experiencing every pleasure the world has to offer before dying. To partake but never overindulge.

Yasker is a man who considers himself to be quite handsome. Standing at five-foot-ten and hundred-fifty pounds, Yasker might not cut an imposing figure, but rather exhibits an imposing aura, always a single thought or reason away from trying to kill anyone. He has a rather wiry build that comes from years of exercise and stamina training, which helps when utilizing the ambiguity magic to transform himself into a woman. His gold hair is usually unkempt or combed back, as he rarely sees a need to take car of something that already seems so flawless, but on the occasion he combs his hair down on the very, very few times he believes he has to make a good impression on someone.

A product of the Romundia bloodline, he bears may resemblances to his father, Raymond, boasting the same crimson eyes as him and glowing red markings on his body, or "magic roots" as his father likes to call them. His eyes are red enough to immediately give his race away and while he could probably wear colored contacts to hide them, he doesn't out of principle and pride. His "magic roots" aren't something he tries to hide but usually ends up being by the clothes he wears. He doesn't make a habit out of showing them to others either, believing them too intimate for common rabble to lay their eyes on. 

From his mother's side he gained her trademark plumage. Gold feathers, going down his spine and covering his collarbone, much like a beautiful golden necklace. With little concentration Yasker can change the color and length of the feathers, usually have them match and coordinate with whatever outfit he's wearing that day, but under duress they revert to their natural gold color. 


Yasker comes from wealth and his clothes show that. Having never worked a day in his life, all of his clothes are casual-wear. He can usually be seen in one of two outfits, the first being a white fur-collared jacket with an undershirt and usually black pants. The other is a white v-neck with three quarter sleeves, and python print pants, often telling people that he'll make pants out of any back-stabbing "snakes" he runs into. He also wears jewelry often like bracelets, necklaces and earrings, always and only made out of gold to show his high status in life.

To even begin to be able to comprehend the magnificence of Yasker, one first has to understand the history of his family, the Romundia. The Romundians originally hail from Ikagi, Raymond having used to teach at the Magi school before he left dissatisfied, in search of new experiences and greater wealth. He settled in Elios, having enough to purchase a decent-sized plot of land, with most of his money. It almost left him destitute but as an Earth magi, he knew something that the others didn’t. That the plot was rich with oil. He could sense it underground and knew he’d be living lavishly if he could hold onto it. Many didn’t like the idea of an aristocrat magi with plenty of funds, mainly because that meant more competition, but they held their tongues and swords after Raymond bribed the right people to ensure his rights to his property. He knew the games the humans played, being two-faced beasts that would turn on his kind or their own once their greed couldn’t be fed anymore. As they barely veiled their disdain for the magi that had ascended to one of the elite, Raymond did the same for the humans, knowing their position on top of the world was incredibly precarious. It was the age of peace, tolerance would be enough as long as they didn't try taking what he had created.

He later married Priscilla, a Fire Magi also from Ikagi, who shared his opinion on the importance of Magi culture and together, with the help of many fertility plants Raymond grew, eventually gave birth to five magi. It was almost unheard of but Raymond always insisted it had been a blessing by Arithelia for creating a mini-forest within their home as an offering to her then caring for it with much dedication. Although, in truth Raymond and Priscilla had made a deal with Kuipec after their prayers went unanswered by Arithelia. What the deal was is something they'll probably take to their grave, but both parties agreed to the terms and the Magi couple was granted the necessary fertility needed to birth as many children as they wanted.

Each one of them was born into affluence, raised to believe in the power of their own race even as the humans slowly began turning away from peace with the Magi. Yasker was the third child, born 52 years before the humans had decided to start a war by forcing the relocation of all the magi in Ethea. His upbringing was a combination of magi heritage and human aristocracy; mediation in father's forest to get a sense for the earth that he could control, etiquette-training, daily worships and offerings to Arithelia, business meetings, studying the works of past magi, diplomacy lessons, artifact research. Yasker devoured all the lessons, earnest to become the best magi he could, knowing it would be important soon enough. Magi-human relations were getting worse, anyone could see that, but Yasker knew it to be true as he received letters from his siblings, Roland and Lucrezia, who were traveling through Ethea to represent the business interests of the Romundia family. Humans believed that they could replace magi with their technology and cyborgs, they didn't care how much magis had contributed to the common good before, lumping them all into deviants and lesser creatures. It was truly angering but that was only the beginning.

Yasker can still remember the day the relocation started. Of course he had been safe in Elios, tutoring his younger sister in history lessons but Roland and Lucrezia had been on another business trip to liquidate some Romundia assets in Dago since the area wasn't viable anymore. They hadn't been responding to their cellphones, no doubt having ditched them to avoid being tracked or been destroyed as magi were rounded up. Yasker felt a definite anger, almost unable to comprehend how one race could turn on another one that had gave them so much, held their hand during hard times and protected them with powers beyond their understanding. There was no gratitude!

"That is the difference between our races at the end up the day, my son." Raymond had said when asked how they could do that to magi. "We always knew our place and never tried to knock them down further than they already were. Humans never learned their own because we protected them from that knowledge. That will be something we'll have to change if we ever want to stop being hunted by these animals."

A year later, Lucrezia arrived in Elios dirty and weary from having to find a way home with just her Zero magic and the clothes on her back. She spoke of all the atrocities that had occurred as the Etheans forced magis into camps to live out their lives and away from the humans. Her and Roland had seen the signs that the relocation was coming, as did other Magi, but they had only had enough money for one with the prices skyrocketing. With anger and tears, she had continued to talk about how Roland had decided to stay behind, believing with his fire magic, intelligence and connections it was possible for him to help guide an eventual counter-offensive against the humans, a rebellion to topple them from the throne they perceived themselves to be on. It was a bold plan but one that's sentiment was shared by everyone else in the family. Magi were demigods, better than humans in every way and could be considered shepherds of true humanity. Yasker and his family were prepared to fight for a better future once a viable situation revealed itself.

For 31 years, the Romundia family prepped for the day that Ethean Magi would be ready to rise against the humans. They began funding magi projects that could be considered to be pushing a magi superiority agenda, hiring magi guards go protect investments at home and abroad, researching more powerful and ancient forms of magic, even artifacts. Meditation classes were replaced with combat and deadly-uses of magic classes, as Raymond and Priscilla prepared their children for a war they knew would eventually erupt. Yasker flourished in this new tense and militant environment, reveling in his spurts of power the more he trained. His pride in his race and himself grew as much as his disdain for the humans and their ways did everyday, fueled by all the wrongs he saw happen everyday in Ethea. He traveled whenever he could to different countries, following up artifact leads or possible spottings of certain spirits, knowing that unnatural powers would have to be gained and gathered for the Magi to stand a chance of overthrowing all the human governments. There was still some beauty left in the world, but it couldn't be left up to the humans to safeguard it, no the magi would have to step up to protect the world from the self-destructive urges of humans. They needed to be stopped before they completely were overtaken by their base desires and lack of control.

They could only do so much to foster the beginnings of revolution in Ethea from Elios, with most magi seemingly cowed by being put in pens "for their own good". Roland's messages often reflected the sense of defeat many magi felt after decades of discrimination, but he was doing his part to teach Fire Magis all he knew in preparation for the fight ahead of them all. There needed to be an ember to start the fire, then someone to fan it into an inferno that could consume the humans. Later on Yasker believed that Roland must have taken part in the breakout of the first relocation camp that led to all the other ones, but that always remained unconfirmed. That was the ember as Magi finally began to take a stand and force the issue of their freedoms. As horrific as the genocides that followed were, they fanned the flames of Magi rebellion, allowing for the creation of the Magi Liberation Movement, an organization that the Romundia helped fund and support once it rose from the ashes from the months of genocide. Like the rest of his family, Yasker was furious that the humans would go as far as to declare open season on his own kind. If the relocation was an act of war, then the genocides served as an absolute truth to the fact that Magi and humans couldn't live on equal terms ever again.

Romundia created a network of their own to help out the MLM, Roland being the liaison to group in Haven, Wyveria working out of Dagos to secure shipments from a nearby port to distribute to rebels in need, Lucrezia helping run the business in Elios and delivering telepathic messages to her siblings when they can't risk being overheard. Jason was slated to be a fighter once he finished his combat and magic training, but brash as ever, he slipped out of Elios in the dead of night to join on his own terms. Officially, the Romundia Family has no business with the MLM or any other extremist Magi organizations in any country, but unofficially, they do what they can to help out the movement, just like many other magis and patrons. 

That left just Yasker. With Lucrezia poised to eventually inherit the Romundia business back home, and his other siblings filling more or less official roles with the MLM, he's free to pursue anything he wants to. For now he'll wander Ethea, following up on some reports of artifacts being in that country, seeing what he can find to entertain himself, what can interest him, and what he can take away from humans, beasts that barely deserve the lives they have.

Earth I: You are able to geokinetically animate 500 lbs (reference) of earth one time. And when I say earth, I mean anything the earth has birthed naturally. Rocks, sand, dirt, etc. The material must be of 100% natural to be animated. For instance, metals cannot be at this stage.

Photosynthesis: By allowing the sun's rays to dance upon your skin, or a UV light of some kind, physical food is optional. Your body will produce its own sustenance through photosynthesis.

Ambiguity: The ability to change into both male and female, as well as an in between at will. However, male's born with this ability have a 15% chance of becoming pregnant and are forced into a female or split gender until term.



Transmute: Through focus you can convert one type of ore into another. Rocks can shift into precious stones or even lesser metals to better protect someone for instance.

Earth II: You are able to manipulate 6,000 lbs of earth at one time (reference). You are now able to compress the earth you manipulate into a sturdier form, making it much more solid and harder, like a naturally formed chunk of stone.



Throwing I: While Yasker possesses the skill to throw knives other sharp objects with his hands, he prefers to use objects like cubes of obsidian to fire razor sharp shards at his opponents, slowly reducing the size of the cube with every shot. His supply can be close to infinite as long as he keeps the shard size small and even then only being exhausted temporarily as he can easily create another one through transmutation.
