James Treefriend

He's a Gnome who is more a kind of jack of all trades who focuses primarily not just on picking up skills but also a unique kind of magick that works with a different elemental set than most other. Instead of focusing on some aspect of nature, or an elemental system, he uses Push, Pull, Moving (Unstoppable Force), and Stability (Unmovable Object) as his elemental primary forces. This means his spells often have a more “raw energy” like effect, but also that he influences things like probability without needing to affect a plane directly. Where many will remove the planar boulder that represents a barrier, he can aim more directly at the source of a problem in a realm. That said, in the planes his powers are still considerable, and he can use combinations of Push, Pull, Moving, and Immovable to create traditional elemental effects unhindered.
 
His unique form of magick makes his crafting skills excellent, and he's a big fan of wood working, metal working, and gem working. He enjoys making small talismans for those he's around, often helping with little problems by providing powerful but temporary talismans that can shift a situation, and he's exceptional at charging talismans across realms, meaning he can easily make temporary talismans here that utilize his unique form of elemental magick.
 
From a combat point of view, he specializes on evasive, shielding, and defensive works first and foremost. When he fights, he uses the raw essence of his magick, meaning he wields a telekinetic style of battle, lifting mountains, or pushing with the force of a mountain on a foe. His telekinetic like push and pull are so completely adaptable that he appears to have “elemental shaping” as a core power, but its more the element of push and pull. This also means his barriers are exponentially stronger, often moving existing materials in the planes and infusing them with the equality of the Immovable, instead of the Unstoppable so that most attacks will bounce off a construct shield he creates.
 
Preferring to wear deep black clothes, he is friendly, and generous with his time and skills. He tends to mingle well in a group, and when not active on a task can be found reading stories of all kinds, from high adventure to romance novels. He has a great love of cultures of all kind, and enjoys learning more about how people see the world. His life has been one of adventure, and learning, traveling across vast realms to work with many, and each journey has given him more. He seeks working with a human companion because this is one more adventure for him, a chance to focus and use his abilities long term, but also form a closer long term bond with someone from a vastly different realm. He has a lot of compassion for the struggles of the physical realm, and recognizes the value in the human spirit and resilience.

Offerings: All are welcome, but none are needed. The best offering for him would be a combination of motion and stillness, such as a melting ice cube, or a stick of incense or candle set next to a crystal that represents that stillness.
