Lilshin Crow

Lilshin Crow is a Dark Écriture Mage of Fairy Tail as a Beginner rank.

Appearance
Age: 19 (Feb 23)

Tattoo: At the bottom of his neck/at the beginning of his back. The tattoo is black outlined with red.

Lilshin is a pretty sly looking but timid young man. He isn't buff by any means but his body is pretty comparable to Cloud from Final Fantasy 7, being pretty strong but his body doesn't really show it. His hair is long and red, some areas darker than others and he usually wears dark clothes and a hat similar to the one in the faceclaim.

Personality
He fits the letter magic user stereotype quite well, being pretty quiet most of the time and spends a lot of his time reading. He isn't shy, but just isn't very eager to meet new people or have small talk with people.

To continue following the stereotype, he loves to learn and generally be more informed than the average person. He doesn't act like it, but he absolutely loves the spotlight and being the guy that everyone is talking about. He has been studying the art of magic for years but is only just recently practicing it. On the inside, he is generally a pretty chaotic fellow. He gets his work done, but tries his best to fuck shit up in the process.

Backstory
His father was a very anti-magic fellow, hating it with every bit of his being because he blamed it for the death of his wife who was killed by a run away fire mage. Lilshin, who discovered the art of letter magic when he was twelve, simply studied the magic for about two years before his father kicked him out of the house, shunning him for studying magic. As a fourteen year old wanderer, he simply begged for food and money, as well as spare books or anything to pass his time. His father had taken his book that he was using to study and Lilshin wandered for two years without being able to study the magic that interested him so much.

A couple months after his seventeenth birthday, he met a kind old retired letter magic user who was nearing his final days. The mage took Lilshin in and gave him access to his abundant library where Lilshin started studying the art of magic again. The man gave Lilshin food and shelter until the man's peaceful death and Lilshin took care of the house until he felt confident to leave the place and seek adventure and ways to challenge himself and learn. He grabbed a magic bag that the man had left him and stuffed the whole library in the seemingly infinite bag before selling the house and roaming. He comes across the guild Fairy Tail while on a trip to Magnolia and decides to join, seeing it was a good place to hone and challenge his skills.
