Powers |
Strong Psionics - Githzerai are able to naturally cast numerous psionic powers, and he has concentrated his own further efforts on learning how to do more than just these
-- Mage Hand, minor telekinesis that allows him to lift bottles and tools and even use them without needing an extra hand on them
-- Shield, casting this requires a little effort but can create a strong nearly impenetrable shell around himself and things near him that lasts about 10 minutes
-- Detect Thoughts and Motives, within 10 meters can detect the intelligent minds of those around himself, an expanded version of the typical spell, and he doesn't need any rest or foci to cast. Can pry deeper into a single being's mind with pointed questions, and with touch or proximity is able to discern even deeper motivations or emotional states
Protective Psionics - can't be easily charmed or frightened, and can collect his wits with but a single long calming breath
Natural Alchemy - has a strong and all but innate knowledge of how chemistry and physics works, this in any other setting would be considered a 'savant' at fairly potent effect, giving him +3 to Cluster and related Skills. Also since he's been doing this for almost 40 years his effective level of ability is far greater than most. Doesn't need to scrounge for supplies, he can use whatever is at hand. Any healing or damage is +4 to potency if he is casting it (not preparing a potion)
-- Healing (word) - actually a little compressed pill he's developed, it'll heal what's wrong
-- Sicken - another little pill, will usually put this in meat thrown to dangerous animals to turn them away
-- (Flaming) sphere - this is more like 'it exploded and this is the result' this is a side effect
-- Acid Arrow - point and shoot, he does have a specific wand with apparently endless acid in it
-- Gas Cloud - (altered) a caustic 3' wide ball of gas can make things ill, cause minor eye damage, etc
-- Mass Heal - a larger potion that can be in a spray bottle (he loves this!) that instantly heals 2d6 and can be used over 10 times before requiring a refill
-- Blight - sometimes you just have to kill a bunch of weeds, sometimes weeds are creatures...(not necromantic, it's caustic / acid)
Elixirs - Any effect from healing to damage, temporary flight or ability to breathe under water, resiliance or speed, can be created in small amounts on the fly

Clusters |
Alchemical / Artificer Skillset +8 This set of skills allows him to produce magical effects with specific components that he's altered to suit, and encourages his students to rely on their own particular combinations of those components that they are comfortable using. He knows this goes against a few other magical rules, but he's of the opinion that 'whatever works, works!' Note that the below Alchemical spells come in much greater quantity than in normal setting due to CHS being a nexus. Also any physical components are more attuned to his needs such as 'magnifying glass' or 'stopwatch' rather than 'expensive gemstone no one has on them any more' or 'problematic piece of creature'...

Skills |
Tool Use +6 Able to utilize virtually any tool from watchmaker's gear to vehicle repairs, as long as it is a manual tool and not a digital or computer-based on he can identify it, and to an extent use it if he's had time to prepare if he's never used one before. His science lab is to die for, as he has a collection of vials, tubes, heating stations and all the bells and whistles of such a craft at his disposal. He loves to tinker and can sub for the Shop Class teacher easily. He shies away from using things to fix or create actual weapons, though he will eagerly help repair armor or protective gear. Also of course he can pick that lock or disarm that trap, but next time you should figure it out yourself!
Magical Tinker +6 Usually small items such as action-figure sized constructs, locks and boxes, and books can be enchanted permanently with his skilled hand and knowledgeable magic. Often he'll set up a magical projector with a screen he's enchanted to display 'slides' with whatever the day's lessons involve, but he can also create larger items that pose as target dummies, magical effect 'gates' (when the student correctly casts, it lets them on to the next object), and the like. He is working directly with the Dungeon Crawl with these items. Also notably he can Attune these items directly to himself, or set them up to be Attuned to students or staff members - usually this is a 'final project' for senior class
Teaching +5 Even as a late teenager he was being asked to help tutor students back in his home realm, and he's only ever gotten better at it. He enjoys figuring out what each student needs or wants from the classes they're taking, and may recommend other courses, different instructors, or just let them fly on their own depending on their skill level. He has become one of the favorites of the recent batch of instructors at CHS for this reason
|
Knacks |
Calming Influence +6 He's very, very chill, even in the face of danger or confusion. Many times, he'll be able to just walk up to a group of scared students or even instructors if something is Going Wrong, and with a gentle reminder that things will be okay, things... will be okay! At least, long enough to calmly get out of the area, or collect their wits to combat something in a more or less concerted manner
Loves New Ideas +4 Some of the more recent graduates from his class (he's only been at this a short time) are preparing themselves for a life of magic and enterprise, because he helped foster their love of innovation and building on what exists in a safe manner. While he will still caution kids not to do some things, and he definitely puts up safety measures when they will be doing dangerous stunts, he explains to them exactly what might go wrong and leaves the decision up to them. If it succeeds, he'll make a note of why it did, and who can or cannot 'get away' with it again for those reasons
You Can Hear Him Coming +2/-2 With that metal foot, he's never bothered to disguise it or silence the tromping noise that he definitely makes while he's going through classrooms or the campus. He doesn't make a big deal of it, and a few students with similar disabilities have commented on how shiny the foot is and can he make something like that for them, to which he declines, claiming that it is, in fact, a bit sluggish compared to the ones you can get at the hospital and physical therapy departments in town... He is a bit slower than most to get around, if he needs to run he'll give himself a bit of spray or a swig of something to increase his movement rate briefly, but doesn't do this very often

Lost his leg at the age of 8 and was laid up for quite a while, and as such was more inclined to become a bookworm and researcher. Built his own leg by the time he was 10, and had begun focusing his intellect on spells and alchemy. Even as a young teenager he was better at this all than most of his instructors, and got a bit of resentment from some of them for his accolades. He settled down to a routine of instruction and tinkering, taking on a small number of students at a time, tutoring them and moving them up the ranks in his home town. This went on for quite a while, he has amassed a rather decent fortune which came with him when he 'accidentally' opened a portal from Limbo to Carramba High's 'intake' area.
He now lives in the Magical Campus Housing, Vortal or Hammerspace homes that are safe and only accessed by their user or guests of them. This will be expanded with the presence of his new draconic friend!

Dragon |
Name: Notasa Filidethsong (th+song)
Gender: Female
Size/Shoulder/Length: Medium (floofy), 10'2" at shoulder while bipedal / 44' l / 58' ws
Colors: Acid-Water (fedra coloration), body dark teal (acid); crest/neck/back, tail tip, wingshoulders pale blue-white (water); wing feathers in shades of deep blue, aquamarine, and mulberry, echoed in peacock patterns; deep green eyes
Features: as shown, wyvern shape with hind legs and forewings, feathered/furred, bird-beaked head
Powers: Winged Flight, Notasa is almost always in flight, and seems almost lighter than air what with all the floof she's got giving her a great amount of lift. Though she certainly is big enough to ride, only Rinzad is 'allowed' on her back, and she takes great care in moving around with him there, since they are also often carrying sensitive equipment around
Genrehop, an unusual ability not found among her direct parents, however it certainly exists strongly in prior generations. It wears her out tremendously so she basically reserves this for if her rider needs to get back to Limbo, or if a student has found themselves lost out there wherever. The other side of this however is a Genre Sense, which she can use to home in on those students wherever they may be, and even if she's not the one going to them, she can easily identify and direct others with the power to retrieve them
Telepathic Speech, Notasa's mind is hot, but the kind of hot that only a strong glass of milk or an antacid tablet might fix, a spicy hot. However, her vocabulary is anything but, she prefers to speak in polite and measured words, announcing her presence carefully since she hardly makes a single sound if she flies in. She has a modest range for her mind, speaking around 500 meters clearly to intelligent minds, and can ping more distant ones up to 1km weakly. She and her bond can communicate at any distance
Acid Control and Creation, from a drop of saliva that can dissolve bones, to a terrifying spray of puke (similar to her bond's spell), to a cloud of noxious gas, Notasa is able to both create and mitigate or move and manipulate any substance that is significantly acidic. This comes in tremendously handy in classes...
Water Control and Creation, in a Fedra-styled power swap, rather than having fire breath or whatnot, she is easily able to produce vast amounts of water. Pure and drinkable, she can choose to also include salinity or chlorine, but usually purifies amounts of it for hiking groups or exploration teams when they're doing longer trips. She can fill canteens and water cooler sized bottles at will, though it will take a while to make enough chlorinated water to fill up CHS's lap pool
Weirdness Magnet, while this isn't exactly a power she can control, her sire's odd luck and shadowy heritage has made it impossible for Notasa to really get away from 'strange stuff' happening to her. Usually it's not dangerous things, but she might accidentally attract a teleporter to her side instead of their class door, or cause a fire alarm to go off - only the one nearest her, so they always know it's just her presence
Parentage: Dam: Gestosa Filidethersalyin Sire: Fonotaro Filidesong
Origin: Phe's Fur and Feathers Frenzy Chaos Redux giveaway 2025
Other Info: She feels most at home when she's flying over the hills and ocean of Crescent City, and honestly doesn't care for being cooped up in the Magic Studies realm all day, so she'll often be found just cruising around until needed at campus
