Also I want to play of that he thanks he is a hero but I do not want him to be arrogant  how would I do that? Also the bond is kinda weak but i could think of anything else   Personalty -I wish to understand the inner workings of Magic -I love a good insult, even one directed at me.   Ideal -Knowledge. The path to power and self-improvement is through knowledge   Bond -Magic is a force that can make the world a better place   Flaw -My sharp tongue lands me in trouble -I’m convinced of the significance of my destiny      Background:Sage:Academic -Feature: Researcher   Life -Mother is a powerful elven Wizard from silvermoon and His father is Unkown -His mother Cared for him well and helped him controll his Gift -He attended university were he was educated in Arcane Arts,History,and Music  -He was a promanite member of his class because of his skill -After graduating he went of to become a Sage there -After spending Years living at he acadamy he diecided that he was getting bored of his hum drum life -He got his mother to pull somestrings and now he is on a "Academic" journey to find artacts, books. or more knowledge Relationships -Mother:Enrora- Currently locarted in Silvermoon -Worshipper of Mystara -Familier: A weasal named Hubert(My DM said I could start with a famillar)   Goal-Acquire objects of power or Knowledge

His mother and everybody else has always called him a hero and said he is destined for great things, but he's not sure he really has it in him. He's smart, he loves magic, and due to his insecurity has developed a self-depreciating sarcastic streak to compensate. Aside from the magic, I know many people who fit this personality type, and I bet you do too. I wouldn't call them arrogant.
