Character Name: Jace Beleren
Character Series: Magic: The Gatherings
Character Age: Late 20's - early 30's. He looks rather young, but Mayfield would consider him an adult.
Background: MTG Salvation Wiki Jace on the Planeswalker minisite
Personality: If there is one thing that is the very core of Jace's being, is that there is a constant quest for knowledge. It does not matter what it is, his mind is a curious one, and he will use what he has at his disposal to learn what he needs to. Storytellers, dusty tomes in archives, and even the minds of others if required. His ideal night is one spent in an ancient library, unearthing the secrets held within. He absolutely prefers solitude in his research, and would rather be left alone so he can concentrate fully on the task at hand. He has a brilliant mind and is a quick thinker, and will often come up with clever solutions to any problems at hand. His thirst for knowledge also makes him a fast learner. Though he prefers solitude, he will not hesitate to share the knowledge if he feels it to be right.

As one would expect of a bookworm like Jace, he's rather quiet. He does not like dealing with people unless absolutely necessary. Having the power to read minds, he often runs into unpleasant thoughts, things one would be better off not knowing. As a result, when dealing with others, it can tend to be awkward. He'll hide things from others, especially if it is to protect them from being hurt. As an example, he kept his identity secret from a woman whom he considered a close and trusted friend, to keep his tracks hidden for her safety. His dealings with romance are as just as awkward, but when he finds someone he cares about, he will go at great lengths to help them, even if they have betrayed him at some point.

Jace's methods of dealing with things involve more reaction than reaction. An enemy's brute and reckless force is often his greatest weapon. The only time he is forced into action is when the anger he holds within him explodes to the surface. When that happens, minds often get wiped and completely destroyed, and he leaves with a bitter taste in his mouth. His great power over the mind has lead him down some dark paths, paths which have left him with incredible guilt and sorrow. He does not like causing pain and suffering, feeling extremely guilty every time he hears their dying thoughts echo in his head. Some of the pain he's caused he'd like to erase from his mind completely, which he will try to do, but all the mental magic in the world cannot erase the emotion of guilt.
Abilities: Jace is a Blue-aligned Planeswalker. Planeswalkers are mages who have the ability to travel between planes of existence. He can hop dimensions, to put it in simpler terms. Those who are adept with Blue mana excel in the art of trickery, deception, and counter-magic. Threats are more subdued and controlled rather than eliminated. Jace is capable of such magic, he prefers the art of illusion and subudal with binding spells over other methods. He is also capable of summoning creatures, mostly Faeries and sprites, but can sometimes summon larger creatures such as sphinxes or small drakes. However, larger creatures provide a great strain on his body and mind, and he prefers to not use them. Jace is a special case among Blue mana users though, as he has more power over the mind than the average mage. It goes beyond simple telepathy and thought-reading. He has the capabilty to mold minds. He can create and erase thoughts as he sees fit. He can, quite literally, break someone's brain, if he wished it. However, this is something he hates doing, and only does when it is absolutely needed. This will all come with the appropriate permission posts, of course!

He's weak physically, but he has used his abilities in the past to allow him to learn how to fight hand-to-hand and with a sword.
Sample Entry: [Jace, having recently regained some of his powers, attempts to try something that probably everyone with the same power has done in Mayfield... trying to get a reading on the drones. He, however, is completely surprised when his results come up with nothing.]

How peculiar... maybe I just wasn't concentrating hard enough. Another try is warranted.

[Again, nothing. This wasn't working. Why wasn't it working? It's getting under his skin, feeling like this place was mocking him, giving him his powers back with them unable to help him solve the biggest piece of the puzzle that is Mayfield. In a rare moment, there is a large burst of energy. This place was stifling. The library was of no help, finding most of the information to be useless, no matter how many books he looks through. The irritation boils up, causing him to erupt, and snap.]

Figures, they would give me back my powers and just deprive me of knowledge. Why. WHY. WHY?! Why does this place do nothing but hide knowledge, treating it as if it was a threat to our existence! That poor excuse for a library is full of nothing but useless information! Perfectly tailored to these drones, I'm guessing. I feel horribly out of my element here, a sore thumb on this... I don't even know if one could call it a plane!
Rest assured though, I will get to the bottom of this place.
[The drone finally notices him after his outburst of anger, and does what drones do best: annoy the piss out of everyone trapped in Mayfield.]
Golly, it sure is a great day here in Mayfield, isn't it, Mr. Beleren? Turn that frown upside-down!

[And that does it, within moments the drone is sent flying into a tree, as if hit by a burst of air.]

Shut. UP!!

[Sighing, Jace continues on his way. He really did not want to do that.]
