<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;">Ibrahim al Ghurayb is an arcanist and a scholar of ancient Allag. He is a man of seventy, yet his zeal for discovery burns as brightly as a young man's. His peers note that despite his age, his appearance in the field is relatively recent--he was unheard of before the Calamity. Claiming Thavnairian nationality, he has come to Eorzea to study its wide array of Allagan ruins, most notably the Crystal Tower and the ruins of Carteneau. Though his arrogance often grates, it is arguably justified. His arcanima boasts labyrinthine formulae solved for in mere seconds. His research and insights into Allag paint vivid pictures of life in the Third Astral Era, nearly always backed with concrete proof or entirely reasonable conjecture. His travels across Hydaelyn are easily tracked, thanks to a peculiar habit. Everywhere Ibrahim goes, he leaves behind a riddle for passers-by to solve. </div></div><br />

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #000000;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px black;letter-<br />

<br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#26212B;font-family:Georgia;">Close-cut, slightly unkempt hair, grayed with age, conspires with a neatly trimmed beard to frame a wrinkled brown face. It always seems gently amused, that face. Full lips at rest resemble a weak smile. Sharp golden eyes fiercely resist the passing of years. They nevertheless peer out from pince-nez glasses resting upon a broad nose.<br />
<br />
He is short even for a Midlander--five fulms, eight ilms. Thin, too, for a man of his age. His hands, gnarled by time, appear soft, unaccustomed to hard work. His wardrobe favors extravagance and bright colors when not traveling. On the road, utility is given some thought, albeit begrudgingly. </div><br />

:<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;color:#444146;">■ ''Carries a grimoire with pitch black pages and glowing lights upon the exterior.''</div></div><br />

<br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;"></div><br />
<br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;"> Ibrahim looks out for his own interests above anything else, though he does put a high regard on life and freedom. He understands the need for a good reputation and generally does not go back on his word once given. Nevertheless, his highest cause is self preservation. The most important thing in Ibrahim's life is Ibrahim, and this shines through not just in his self preservation, but in his ego. He believes he is the greatest mage walking the face of Hydaelyn, and one of the greatest minds of his time, to boot.<br />
<br />
His ego is sadly not entirely unwarranted. He is quite studious and most observant. These traits have served him well in his academic and magical pursuits. <br />
<br />
Despite this egotism, Ibrahim loathes being alone with his thoughts. He ever seeks the company of others, inferior though they may be, so that his mind has something to focus on other than his insecurities. Without time for introspection, his egotism has only grown over the years.<br />
<br />
As with many egotists, nothing is ever Ibrahim's fault. Mistakes aren't because of his arrogance, but others' incompetence. Deep down he knows this is a lie, but convinces himself otherwise. He feels an enormous amount of pressure to do everything right. Despite what he would have others believe, his intellect is not infallible. Failure is contextualized and explained away, if possible. And when it's not possible, he becomes defensive and petty, lashing out to protect his fragile ego. </div><br />

<br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Machina'''. Though it's rare a modern machine could match the wonders of ancient Allag, Ibrahim has an interest in these contraptions, and anyone who would claim to know them. </font></div><br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''New Experiences'''. Ibrahim will try anything once. A frequent traveler, he enjoys sampling local cuisines and customs wherever he can. </font></div><br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Simple Pleasures'''. Pastimes most take for granted, such as fishing, Triple Triad, or other games of skill/chance. For whatever reason, he's fascinated by them! </font></div><br />

<br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Superstition'''. To him, there are no 'places man was not meant to tread.' Distrust of magitek or magic isn't tradition, it's inherited ignorance. He takes a dim view of organized religion, but doesn't begrudge others their beliefs unless forced upon him. </font></div><br />
<br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''His Age'''. He doesn't like to be reminded of it. An 'old man' here and there he can handle. Poking at it tends to annoy him.</font></div><br />
<br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Public Displays of Affection'''. Whether directed at him or someone else, they make him uncomfortable. </font></div><br />

: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#000000;">'''History'''. A driving pursuit of his, ever since he was a young boy. His specialty is Allag, but he is still knowledgeable in other areas. </font></div><br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Alchemy'''. Few men of letters within Thavnair don't at least pay Alchemy some lip service. He claims to have taken it up in search of some now-disproven theory. </font></div><br />

<br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Magic'''. Ibrahim employs magic of remarkable power and complexity. Whether it's due to a lifetime of study or some other reason, few can say. Regardless, he has a mind for arcanima, a natural talent and a wide repertoire of both offensive and defensive spells. Further, he can make use of his body's aether far more efficiently than most, allowing for longer 'uptime' in battle with more efficacious spells.</font></div><br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Intellect'''. Ibrahim's is a mind perfectly suited to the arcane and the sciences. He is observant, quick-witted and intelligent. His memory is impressive for a man of his age, and his mind is a match for even the most sophisticated Garlean difference engine. In battle, he splits his attention between numerous opponents and tasks with ease. At peace, he makes for a frustrating Triple Triad opponent and a brilliant researcher. </font></div><br />

: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Hubris'''. His magic, his mind, his pursuits--all are seen as above and beyond those of others. Even if it's true, he tends to exaggerate. As a result, he rarely has a plan for failure. In such instances, he completely shuts down and cannot function.</font></div><br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Frailty'''. Any chirurgeon of skill could spot this. His body appears to have spent years in a sedentary lifestyle, only recently remedied. Physical efforts tire him easily. Like the classical 'glass cannon' mage, physical attackers can do a lot of harm. Assuming they can get to him, of course. </font></div><br />

: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Discovery''' - Ask him, and he'll tell you. His sole motivation has ever been to bring the marvels of Allag back into the light of the modern day. Medicine, transit, food. Perhaps even 'cloning' and 'genetic engineering.' He feels life would be greatly improved by their re-emergence.</font></div><br />

I don't expect you to know everything about the game's lore, and I'm not gonna complain at you if you don't.

BarP is fine, but if we meet in a tavern, taking the RP to other places over the course of the characters' stories is definitely encouraged and preferred. Fights are okay; I prefer the HP method or freeform to just /random. Guild/dungeon/linkshell/private are all fine. I can do large or small gatherings, too.

I won't play transformation (vampire bites, magic spells, etc.) and I'm really not about the whole forced submission thing. As mentioned above, I'm fine with lore-bending, but stuff that directly contradicts lore doesn't interest me. wiki''</div></div><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;">Ibrahim al Ghurayb is an arcanist and a scholar of ancient Allag. He is a man of seventy, yet his zeal for discovery burns as brightly as a young man's. His peers note that despite his age, his appearance in the field is relatively recent--he was unheard of before the Calamity. Claiming Thavnairian nationality, he has come to Eorzea to study its wide array of Allagan ruins, most notably the Crystal Tower and the ruins of Carteneau. Though his arrogance often grates, it is arguably justified. His arcanima boasts labyrinthine formulae solved for in mere seconds. His research and insights into Allag paint vivid pictures of life in the Third Astral Era, nearly always backed with concrete proof or entirely reasonable conjecture. His travels across Hydaelyn are easily tracked, thanks to a peculiar habit. Everywhere Ibrahim goes, he leaves behind a riddle for passers-by to solve. </div></div><br />
<br />
<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #000000;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px black;letter-<br />

<br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#26212B;font-family:Georgia;">Close-cut, slightly unkempt hair, grayed with age, conspires with a neatly trimmed beard to frame a wrinkled brown face. It always seems gently amused, that face. Full lips at rest resemble a weak smile. Sharp golden eyes fiercely resist the passing of years. They nevertheless peer out from pince-nez glasses resting upon a broad nose.<br />
<br />
He is short even for a Midlander--five fulms, eight ilms. Thin, too, for a man of his age. His hands, gnarled by time, appear soft, unaccustomed to hard work. His wardrobe favors extravagance and bright colors when not traveling. On the road, utility is given some thought, albeit begrudgingly. </div><br />
<br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#26212B;font-family:Georgia;">Aspects That Stand Out: </div><br />

<br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;"></div><br />
<br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;"> Ibrahim looks out for his own interests above anything else, though he does put a high regard on life and freedom. He understands the need for a good reputation and generally does not go back on his word once given. Nevertheless, his highest cause is self preservation. The most important thing in Ibrahim's life is Ibrahim, and this shines through not just in his self preservation, but in his ego. He believes he is the greatest mage walking the face of Hydaelyn, and one of the greatest minds of his time, to boot.<br />
<br />
His ego is sadly not entirely unwarranted. He is quite studious and most observant. These traits have served him well in his academic and magical pursuits. <br />
<br />
Despite this egotism, Ibrahim loathes being alone with his thoughts. He ever seeks the company of others, inferior though they may be, so that his mind has something to focus on other than his insecurities. Without time for introspection, his egotism has only grown over the years.<br />
<br />
As with many egotists, nothing is ever Ibrahim's fault. Mistakes aren't because of his arrogance, but others' incompetence. Deep down he knows this is a lie, but convinces himself otherwise. He feels an enormous amount of pressure to do everything right. Despite what he would have others believe, his intellect is not infallible. Failure is contextualized and explained away, if possible. And when it's not possible, he becomes defensive and petty, lashing out to protect his fragile ego. </div><br />

Distrust of magitek or magic isn't tradition, it's inherited ignorance. He takes a dim view of organized religion, but doesn't begrudge others their beliefs unless forced upon him. </font></div><br />

<br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Magic'''. Ibrahim employs magic of remarkable power and complexity. Whether it's due to a lifetime of study or some other reason, few can say. Regardless, he has a mind for arcanima, a natural talent and a wide repertoire of both offensive and defensive spells. Further, he can make use of his body's aether far more efficiently than most, allowing for longer 'uptime' in battle with more efficacious spells.</font></div><br />

He is observant, quick-witted and intelligent. His memory is impressive for a man of his age, and his mind is a match for even the most sophisticated Garlean difference engine. In battle, he splits his attention between numerous opponents and tasks with ease. At peace, he makes for a frustrating Triple Triad opponent and a brilliant researcher. </font></div><br />

His magic, his mind, his pursuits--all are seen as above and beyond those of others. Even if it's true, he tends to exaggerate. As a result, he rarely has a plan for failure. In such instances, he completely shuts down and cannot function.</font></div><br />

His body appears to have spent years in a sedentary lifestyle, only recently remedied. Physical efforts tire him easily. Like the classical 'glass cannon' mage, physical attackers can do a lot of harm. Assuming they can get to him, of course. </font></div><br />

He feels life would be greatly improved by their re-emergence.</font></div><br />

Fights are okay; I prefer the HP method or freeform to just /random. Guild/dungeon/linkshell/private are all fine. I can do large or small gatherings, too.

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;">Ibrahim al Ghurayb is an arcanist and a scholar of ancient Allag. He is a man of seventy, yet his zeal for discovery burns as brightly as a young man's. His peers note that despite his age, his appearance in the field is relatively recent--he was unheard of before the Calamity. Claiming Thavnairian nationality, he has come to Eorzea to study its wide array of Allagan ruins, most notably the Crystal Tower and the ruins of Carteneau. Though his arrogance often grates, it is arguably justified. His arcanima boasts labyrinthine formulae solved for in mere seconds. His research and insights into Allag paint vivid pictures of life in the Third Astral Era, nearly always backed with concrete proof or entirely reasonable conjecture. His travels across Hydaelyn are easily tracked, thanks to a peculiar habit. Everywhere Ibrahim goes, he leaves behind a riddle for passers-by to solve. </div></div><br />
<br />
<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #000000;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px black;letter-<br />

<br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#26212B;font-family:Georgia;">Close-cut, slightly unkempt hair, grayed with age, conspires with a neatly trimmed beard to frame a wrinkled brown face. It always seems gently amused, that face. Full lips at rest resemble a weak smile. Sharp golden eyes fiercely resist the passing of years. They nevertheless peer out from pince-nez glasses resting upon a broad nose.<br />
<br />
He is short even for a Midlander--five fulms, eight ilms. Thin, too, for a man of his age. His hands, gnarled by time, appear soft, unaccustomed to hard work. His wardrobe favors extravagance and bright colors when not traveling. On the road, utility is given some thought, albeit begrudgingly. </div><br />

<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;"> Ibrahim looks out for his own interests above anything else, though he does put a high regard on life and freedom. He understands the need for a good reputation and generally does not go back on his word once given. Nevertheless, his highest cause is self preservation. The most important thing in Ibrahim's life is Ibrahim, and this shines through not just in his self preservation, but in his ego. He believes he is the greatest mage walking the face of Hydaelyn, and one of the greatest minds of his time, to boot.<br />
<br />
His ego is sadly not entirely unwarranted. He is quite studious and most observant. These traits have served him well in his academic and magical pursuits. <br />
<br />
Despite this egotism, Ibrahim loathes being alone with his thoughts. He ever seeks the company of others, inferior though they may be, so that his mind has something to focus on other than his insecurities. Without time for introspection, his egotism has only grown over the years.<br />
<br />
As with many egotists, nothing is ever Ibrahim's fault. Mistakes aren't because of his arrogance, but others' incompetence. Deep down he knows this is a lie, but convinces himself otherwise. He feels an enormous amount of pressure to do everything right. Despite what he would have others believe, his intellect is not infallible. Failure is contextualized and explained away, if possible. And when it's not possible, he becomes defensive and petty, lashing out to protect his fragile ego. </div><br />

Distrust of magitek or magic isn't tradition, it's inherited ignorance. He takes a dim view of organized religion, but doesn't begrudge others their beliefs unless forced upon him. </font></div><br />

Whether it's due to a lifetime of study or some other reason, few can say. Regardless, he has a mind for arcanima, a natural talent and a wide repertoire of both offensive and defensive spells. Further, he can make use of his body's aether far more efficiently than most, allowing for longer 'uptime' in battle with more efficacious spells.</font></div><br />

He is observant, quick-witted and intelligent. His memory is impressive for a man of his age, and his mind is a match for even the most sophisticated Garlean difference engine. In battle, he splits his attention between numerous opponents and tasks with ease. At peace, he makes for a frustrating Triple Triad opponent and a brilliant researcher. </font></div><br />

Every aspect of his backstory, with one exception, can be traced back to an established piece of lore. The exception is not something which is contradicted, but neither is it something which is explicitly stated. It is, however, something which is, I feel, plausible, given the game's lore on the subject. It's something that loses its narrative weight when brought up repeatedly in the open. As such, don't expect to uncover it on your first meeting with him, especially since he also has an IC reason to keep it quiet.''</div></div><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;">Ibrahim al Ghurayb is an arcanist and a scholar of ancient Allag. He is a man of seventy, yet his zeal for discovery burns as brightly as a young man's. His peers note that despite his age, his appearance in the field is relatively recent--he was unheard of before the Calamity. Claiming Thavnairian nationality, he has come to Eorzea to study its wide array of Allagan ruins, most notably the Crystal Tower and the ruins of Carteneau. Though his arrogance often grates, it is arguably justified. His arcanima boasts labyrinthine formulae solved for in mere seconds. His research and insights into Allag paint vivid pictures of life in the Third Astral Era, nearly always backed with concrete proof or entirely reasonable conjecture. His travels across Hydaelyn are easily tracked, thanks to a peculiar habit. Everywhere Ibrahim goes, he leaves behind a riddle for passers-by to solve. </div></div><br />
<br />
<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #000000;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px black;letter-<br />

<br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#26212B;font-family:Georgia;">Close-cut, slightly unkempt hair, grayed with age, conspires with a neatly trimmed beard to frame a wrinkled brown face. It always seems gently amused, that face. Full lips at rest resemble a weak smile. Sharp golden eyes fiercely resist the passing of years. They nevertheless peer out from pince-nez glasses resting upon a broad nose.<br />
<br />
He is short even for a Midlander--five fulms, eight ilms. Thin, too, for a man of his age. His hands, gnarled by time, appear soft, unaccustomed to hard work. His wardrobe favors extravagance and bright colors when not traveling. On the road, utility is given some thought, albeit begrudgingly. </div><br />

<br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;"></div><br />
<br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;"> Ibrahim looks out for his own interests above anything else, though he does put a high regard on life and freedom. He understands the need for a good reputation and generally does not go back on his word once given. Nevertheless, his highest cause is self preservation. The most important thing in Ibrahim's life is Ibrahim, and this shines through not just in his self preservation, but in his ego. He believes he is the greatest mage walking the face of Hydaelyn, and one of the greatest minds of his time, to boot.<br />
<br />
His ego is sadly not entirely unwarranted. He is quite studious and most observant. These traits have served him well in his academic and magical pursuits. <br />
<br />
Despite this egotism, Ibrahim loathes being alone with his thoughts. He ever seeks the company of others, inferior though they may be, so that his mind has something to focus on other than his insecurities. Without time for introspection, his egotism has only grown over the years.<br />
<br />
As with many egotists, nothing is ever Ibrahim's fault. Mistakes aren't because of his arrogance, but others' incompetence. Deep down he knows this is a lie, but convinces himself otherwise. He feels an enormous amount of pressure to do everything right. Despite what he would have others believe, his intellect is not infallible. Failure is contextualized and explained away, if possible. And when it's not possible, he becomes defensive and petty, lashing out to protect his fragile ego. </div><br />

Though it's rare a modern machine could match the wonders of ancient Allag, Ibrahim has an interest in these contraptions, and anyone who would claim to know them. </font></div><br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''New Experiences'''. Ibrahim will try anything once. A frequent traveler, he enjoys sampling local cuisines and customs wherever he can. </font></div><br />

: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Superstition'''. To him, there are no 'places man was not meant to tread.' Distrust of magitek or magic isn't tradition, it's inherited ignorance. He takes a dim view of organized religion, but doesn't begrudge others their beliefs unless forced upon him. </font></div><br />

<br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Magic'''. Ibrahim employs magic of remarkable power and complexity. Whether it's due to a lifetime of study or some other reason, few can say. Regardless, he has a mind for arcanima, a natural talent and a wide repertoire of both offensive and defensive spells. Further, he can make use of his body's aether far more efficiently than most, allowing for longer 'uptime' in battle with more efficacious spells.</font></div><br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Intellect'''. Ibrahim's is a mind perfectly suited to the arcane and the sciences. He is observant, quick-witted and intelligent. His memory is impressive for a man of his age, and his mind is a match for even the most sophisticated Garlean difference engine. In battle, he splits his attention between numerous opponents and tasks with ease. At peace, he makes for a frustrating Triple Triad opponent and a brilliant researcher. </font></div><br />

: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Hubris'''. His magic, his mind, his pursuits--all are seen as above and beyond those of others. Even if it's true, he tends to exaggerate. As a result, he rarely has a plan for failure. In such instances, he completely shuts down and cannot function.</font></div><br />

His body appears to have spent years in a sedentary lifestyle, only recently remedied. Physical efforts tire him easily. Like the classical 'glass cannon' mage, physical attackers can do a lot of harm. Assuming they can get to him, of course. </font></div><br />

His sole motivation has ever been to bring the marvels of Allag back into the light of the modern day. Medicine, transit, food. Perhaps even 'cloning' and 'genetic engineering.' He feels life would be greatly improved by their re-emergence.</font></div><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;">Ibrahim al Ghurayb is an arcanist and a scholar of ancient Allag. He is a man of seventy, yet his zeal for discovery burns as brightly as a young man's. His peers note that despite his age, his appearance in the field is relatively recent--he was unheard of before the Calamity. Claiming Thavnairian nationality, he has come to Eorzea to study its wide array of Allagan ruins, most notably the Crystal Tower and the ruins of Carteneau. Though his arrogance often grates, it is arguably justified. His arcanima boasts labyrinthine formulae solved for in mere seconds. His research and insights into Allag paint vivid pictures of life in the Third Astral Era, nearly always backed with concrete proof or entirely reasonable conjecture. His travels across Hydaelyn are easily tracked, thanks to a peculiar habit. Everywhere Ibrahim goes, he leaves behind a riddle for passers-by to solve. </div></div><br />
<br />
<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #000000;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px black;letter-<br />

<br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#26212B;font-family:Georgia;">Close-cut, slightly unkempt hair, grayed with age, conspires with a neatly trimmed beard to frame a wrinkled brown face. It always seems gently amused, that face. Full lips at rest resemble a weak smile. Sharp golden eyes fiercely resist the passing of years. They nevertheless peer out from pince-nez glasses resting upon a broad nose.<br />
<br />
He is short even for a Midlander--five fulms, eight ilms. Thin, too, for a man of his age. His hands, gnarled by time, appear soft, unaccustomed to hard work. His wardrobe favors extravagance and bright colors when not traveling. On the road, utility is given some thought, albeit begrudgingly. </div><br />

<br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;"></div><br />
<br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;"> Ibrahim looks out for his own interests above anything else, though he does put a high regard on life and freedom. He understands the need for a good reputation and generally does not go back on his word once given. Nevertheless, his highest cause is self preservation. The most important thing in Ibrahim's life is Ibrahim, and this shines through not just in his self preservation, but in his ego. He believes he is the greatest mage walking the face of Hydaelyn, and one of the greatest minds of his time, to boot.<br />
<br />
His ego is sadly not entirely unwarranted. He is quite studious and most observant. These traits have served him well in his academic and magical pursuits. <br />
<br />
Despite this egotism, Ibrahim loathes being alone with his thoughts. He ever seeks the company of others, inferior though they may be, so that his mind has something to focus on other than his insecurities. Without time for introspection, his egotism has only grown over the years.<br />
<br />
As with many egotists, nothing is ever Ibrahim's fault. Mistakes aren't because of his arrogance, but others' incompetence. Deep down he knows this is a lie, but convinces himself otherwise. He feels an enormous amount of pressure to do everything right. Despite what he would have others believe, his intellect is not infallible. Failure is contextualized and explained away, if possible. And when it's not possible, he becomes defensive and petty, lashing out to protect his fragile ego. </div><br />

: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Magic'''. Ibrahim employs magic of remarkable power and complexity. Whether it's due to a lifetime of study or some other reason, few can say. Regardless, he has a mind for arcanima, a natural talent and a wide repertoire of both offensive and defensive spells. Further, he can make use of his body's aether far more efficiently than most, allowing for longer 'uptime' in battle with more efficacious spells.</font></div><br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Intellect'''. Ibrahim's is a mind perfectly suited to the arcane and the sciences. He is observant, quick-witted and intelligent. His memory is impressive for a man of his age, and his mind is a match for even the most sophisticated Garlean difference engine. In battle, he splits his attention between numerous opponents and tasks with ease. At peace, he makes for a frustrating Triple Triad opponent and a brilliant researcher. </font></div><br />

His magic, his mind, his pursuits--all are seen as above and beyond those of others. Even if it's true, he tends to exaggerate. As a result, he rarely has a plan for failure. In such instances, he completely shuts down and cannot function.</font></div><br />

Like the classical 'glass cannon' mage, physical attackers can do a lot of harm. Assuming they can get to him, of course. </font></div><br />

He feels life would be greatly improved by their re-emergence.</font></div><br />
