Eric Seamus McAllister (Born: September 9, ), is a low-level Verbena, and presently helps a local cabal of mages to carve out their niche in the increasingly constrained reality of the Technocratic paradigm.
Description
McAllister has sandy-blond hair, green eyes and keeps a lean frame with a light tan to his skin. He stands at 5'7" and hovers around 170lbs. McAllister's skin is marred with faint scars showing runes of varying kinds used to help power his magicks, and he has a latticework of rune tattoos on his shoulders and back.
Background
McAllister was born in Cork, Ireland to Daniel Morrigan McAllister and Caitlin Fiona Ochiern. He has one sibling, a younger sister, Arianna Aleyna McAllister.
Paradigm
McAllister uses runes and bodily fluids to focus and power his magicks. Additionally, he uses unengraved stones, meditations, chanting and fire to help support his arts. The runestones he primarily uses are engraved pieces of hematite to enhance the balance and energy in the castings he uses. He does however possess numerous sets of runestones, each with specific focuses in their uses.
Specific to each of his spheres, McAllister uses the following foci or foci combinations:
- Correspondence: Runes laid out in specific patterns. Specific runes: Gateway (Thurisa), Journey (Raido), Movement (Ehwaz), Breakthrough (Dagaz), Defense (Eihwaz)
- Entropy: Odin-rune draw (Single rune drawn from a bag). Specific Rune: Blank (Odin)
- Forces: Runes in specific order and/or flame for larger effects (fire being the uncorruptable element so perfect for feeding effects). Specific runes: Flow (Laguz), Breakthrough (Dagaz), Signals (Ansuz), Opening (Kano), Warrior (Teiwaz), Standstill (Isa)
- Life: Runes, blood/sweat/tears/saliva. Specific runes: Warrior (Teiwaz), Growth (Berkana), Strength (Uruz), The Self (Mannaz), Wholeness (Sowelu)
- Mind: Meditation and/or runes. Specific runes: Protection (Algiz), Signals (Ansuz), Joy (Wunjo)
- Matter: Runes of transformation and insight. Specific runes: Breakthrough (Dagaz), Gateway (Thurisa), Possessions (Fehu), Intiation (Perth), Harvest (Jera)
- Prime: Fire (power) and runes. Specific runes: Flow (Laguz), Gateway (Thurisa), Fertility (Inguz), Opening (Kano)
- Spirit: Rune layouts and chanting. Specific runes: Gateway (Thurisa), Partnership (Gebo), Opening (Kano), Movement (Ehwaz)
- Time: Runes in a 3 or 5 rune layout. Specific runes drawn help detail what future he sees.
Favorite Rotes
- See beyond sight (Correspondence ••) Correspondence point
The runes will grant vision beyond what you can normally see? Can't you read them? Here, then, look into this bowl of water while I drop in the runes...
- Collecting the heat (Forces ••) Altering temperature for an area
By focusing on this flame, all heat can be drawn there, much as a moth would be. Sometimes the runes help to focus things, but usually just having a lighter and some quiet time are enough.
- Asking fate (Entropy •) Looking for strands of entropy/fate
Whenever a decision needs to be made, and your mind can't seem to find a way, a single rune can often help decide for you. Look, Perth reversed. We go left.
- Imbue the mundane (Prime ••) Prime charge
By carving these runes on this staff, it'll be able to affect even spirits and other things. Werewolves? Sure, if they really exist. I don't see why it wouldn't hurt them too.
- Mending the wounds (Life •••) Heal another
Quit your bellyaching. The blood I'm using will help bring you whole. Yes, it's necessary. No, I'm not calling a doctor. Now quiet.
- Shielding (Correspondence ••) Warding
You see these runes here? And there? They mark where my protection extends to. Don't step beyond them, and we're fine for now. Don't worry, no one can find us here.
- Strength through blood and fire (Life •••, Forces ••, Prime ••) Better body and improved damage
Carving specific runes into the forearms grants increased strength and agility, while searing those runes with fire to stop the bleeding and infuse the body grants increased damage and the ability to harm supernaturals.
- Leave your mark (Prime ••) Prime Tag
Best done by tracing a rune onto the skin of a willing target. For an unwilling or unknowing target, either writing their name and drawing a rune across it to link them or dropping a runestone onto their person ends up being the best methods to keep them marked.
