About

Primary Ability: Necromancy

  • As a necromancer, Johann is still quite inexperienced. He has mastered the incantation and rituals to resurrect and preserve his puppy, Chuffy. Otherwise, he has had little success with resurrection and raising undead. He is quite adept with a Siphon Life spell. Thanks to his dyslexia, he has memorized an inverted version of the spell, where he passes his own life to the target. Beyond this, he is beholden to his Abridged Necronomicon for Beginners.

Secondary Ability: A Good Boy

  • Chuffy is Johann's faithful undead dog. They go everywhere together, and Chuffy supports his boy in any way he can. He's emotional support when things get tough, he's a fierce defender when threatened, and all around a Good Boy.

History: Born to Mark and Enid Krieger (both deceased) and raised rurally outside Koblenz. The father was a biomancer turned necromancer and the mother was an earth elementalist. After his father's death (by suicide) when he was 12, Johann moved in with his grandparents in Austria. They tried to dissuade his studies, but “little Jojo” as they called him was far too stubborn about following in his father's footsteps. He has difficulties with his studies due to dyslexia but is determined to overcome it.

As Johann entered the earliest stages of puberty, several things became abundantly clear: he could not be dissuaded from his dreams; his “special condition” was becoming increasingly difficult to hide; and they could not keep up with him in their old age. The solution to all of these problems was surprisingly elegant: send him to boarding school. So mama and papa shipped little Jojo to Safeholme Academy to pursue his dreams and be kept safe from the scorn of the mundane world. They each sent him off with their best wishes and a gift: a (wooden) scythe from his grandfather and an abridged version of his favorite book, bound in unicorn leather.

Physical

Appearance: Johann is fair-skinned and dark dressed in stereotypical necromancer fashion. A black turban conceals all but a few wisps of black hair and covers his right eye. He's also quite taken with long flowing robes at this point in his life and wears them whenever possible, despite his general clumsiness. He's above average height for his age at 5'8“ and expected to crest 6' by adulthood like both his parents. He has a slim build thanks to an active metabolism and a sedentary lifestyle. His eye is a deeply tinted hazel, but always bright and eager. He has a number of old wounds he prefers to keep concealed.
Personality: Chipper and optimistic would be the quickest way to describe Johann. It's hard to get him down, and he doesn't stay down for long. He never has a mean thing to say about anyone, and is always willing to lend a hand or an ear. Most likely to be voted Mr. Congeniality if he can get over his shyness.
Magical Item: Wooden Scythe. It appears perfectly real thanks to the illusions cast on it, and can be summoned from a dimensional pocket thanks to his papa's dimension magic.
Magical Outfit: N/A
Familiar: Chuffy is 4' tall at the shoulders and aggressively loyal. His energy is the only real reason Johann ever gets any sunlight.
