Character:Forcas

Forcas
Real name: Michael Wilson

Forcas is a man in his late thirties, of healthy but not especially athletic build, with a touch of premature gray to his black hair that makes him appear older that he really is. Just over 6' tall he affects a straight posture by reflex, neither slouching nor leaning. Almost always found wearing business suits of high quality, his expression focused on some matter at hand, he looks more like moderately successful businessman or lawyer than anyone's mental image of a mage. Which, in addition to it being a style he feels very comfortable with, is of course the point. Due to an old leg injury he usually carries a walking stick of black metal to help him walk comfortably. Forcas' demeanor is often serious and though he does not lack a sense of humor by far he is not given to overt displays of laughter. He rarely if ever raises his voice, but with the precise articulation of a trained orator speaks just loud enough to be understood. A simple golden ring on his right hand marks him as a married man.

When Forcas uncloaks his Nimbus ambient light seems to twist around him in a strange inward-bent manner as if his body was distorting space itself. A student of physics might recognize as a strong gravity-lens effect such as might be exerted by a singularity. This visual is accompanied by a feeling of vertigo, as if leaning over a chasm and being drawn forward and down by gravity.
