Smut Opt-in: lmao yeah
Name: Shylock Bennett
Canon: Mahoutsukai no Yakusoku
Canon point: Post-2nd Anniversary event, The Bonds We Formed, Like Magic
Age: He's often described as ageless, but he looks in his middle to late 20s for someone who is actually 1500+
History: Mahoyaku takes place in a fantasy realm that's composed of five countries: North, South, East, West, and Central. Every year the moon (hereby dubbed the Great Calamity) will cause the great destruction of their world, so it's up to a select group of wizards gacha-rolled by the Sage to fend it off while going out on missions to fix problems that were caused by the Calamity the year prior.
Shylock used to be a nobleman in Western Country, back when there weren't a lot of humans to shun wizards at the time. He'd lived in the same region for centuries, even when the Bennett family fell from nobility to local lords after years of power struggles. When the Bennett family dispersed with the times and only Shylock is left, he created a bar that became exclusive for wizards as years went on, and that's where he met a certain genius philosopher by the name of Murr. He and Murr are kind of besties (but also worsties), even though Murr went against Shylock's wishes to create technology that reduces dead-wizard rocks into batteries. But then Murr, romantic asshole that he is, went so far as to get too close to the moon (aka his lover) and had his soul shatter into pieces. So Shylock, who took "I Can Change Him" quite literally, decided to take this blank-slate Murr under his wing and taught him everything he needed to know, essentially turning the philosopher into his very own catboy for his own good. That's Western wizardry for you! (laughtrack)
Nowadays he's been chosen as the mentor of his fellow chosen Western wizards, while keeping an eye on Murr and the various shards of his soul that he'd placed in jars. And there's a lot of them where that come from :)
Personality: Shylock is sensual, charming and refined - one would feel like they're in a nighttime lounge with how he speaks. He also talks as if he's constantly flirting with the other person, but he's just a natural tease so one shouldn't think too hard on it. That said, he's still a Western wizard, so he's still prone to being a little odd for most people to handle. He's incredibly hedonistic and he marches to the beat of his own drum, much like any other Western wizard.
CRAU: n/a.
Powers: Wizards in MahoYaku use their hearts to perform magic, so there must be a right balance of a wizard's own spirit and the environment they surround themselves in. The clearer a picture they can form in their mind, the more likely their magic will succeed, and a wizard can do typical enough magic like levitation, transformation, flight - any form of magic under the sun so long as they know what they're doing. A wizard can also use their personalized magic spell to tap into their inner magic, and utilize their magic tools to help enhance it further.
Still, it's all dependent on a wizard's strengths and specialties though, and even magic can't do the impossible such as bringing back the dead to life, time travel (freezing time is possible for a few moments though), and making something out of nothing (except sugar; a wizard starts out learning magic by making sugar first and it's not as easy as it looks). But the most important catch is that — if a wizard makes a promise and they break it, they will lose their powers forever.
Lastly, despite the fact that wizards can live for thousands of years, they aren't completely immortal and they turn into mana stones when they die - precious jewels that can be eaten to bolster a wizard's magical power or even power some of the magical technology in their world. Moreover they can sense their impending death, whether it'll happen tomorrow or a couple years later.
Shylock in particular is a capable wizard in his own right in terms of magical power, to the point that Figaro and Oz contemplated on killing him at one point while they were on a prowl for mana stones to eat. He specializes in "intoxicating" one's senses in his own words - using his fancy pipe, he can use the smoke to induce nightmares to a set number of people, or simply casting sleep on them to make them pass out. And of course as a seasoned bartender, he also knows how to make magical cocktails that has certain effects of a truth potion or a love potion and such.
Also this isn't a power, but some wizards were stricken by a curious affliction after fighting the moon previously, and in Shylock's case his heart tends to catch on fire periodically. Fun!
Inventory:
- his magical artifact, a kiseru (Japanese smoking pipe)
- his amulet, a wineglass that's half-full with wine
- his broomstick
!! Reminder: the following is filled out OOCly !!
Likes: I'm crying because Shylock virtually likes anyone? Even the most awful, most downtrodden people. He tends to find beauty in all things and he marches by the beat of his own drum, so it's actually pretty hard for determine a type for him? That being said, he has the softest spot for people who display catlike demeanor...
Dislikes: As mentioned, Shylock doesn't have an exactly dislike for people either when he's so openminded... But he doesn't like arrogant intellectuals who think they know everything.
Ideal dates/venues: Wining and dining in the most luxurious bar, with an expensing wineglass in hand. Shylock is an incredibly good listener and a romantic and he Will treat his partner right.
Partner: He'll be staying with Murr (
Farm Style: Rural!

⬥ Note: With the resident spirit being as weak as she presently is, wizards are suffering the most from her lack of strength. Shylock will not be able to utilize any magic that needs a catalyst, incantation or special object without regains.
Additionally, any combat spells he might have are significantly weakened but may be bolstered through strengthening relations with the Goddess. Additionally, eating any dead wizards will give Shylock a bad case of the runs as opposed to strengthening his magic. Blame the Goddess.
He will need to regain his ability to induce nightmares and sleep alike, but he's free to blow smoke in people's faces to piss them off if it pleases him. His bartending skills may remain intact! Finally, unless his broomstick is under a foot in length, it won't be making the trip with him into Crescentview.
⬥ Welcome to the game!
