[HEADING=3]Jania Gemsoul (JAY-knee-ah)[/HEADING]
An adept in the Deimancers, an organisation of mages that use special crystals called deimonds to manipulate energy. Born from an aristocratic family, she wasn?t really happy sitting in a mansion all day and spent her free time exploring the abandoned parts of the deimond mines underneath Shinestone. Due to her growing up in Shinestone (a city with a large amout of deimonds) and her room overlooking the Deimancer academy she quickly picked up various magic techniques, and aspired to join the Deimancers from a young age. A few months before her initiation, while she was exploring the tunnels, she went into an unstable tunnel which collapsed, trapping her for 4 days. Eventually some miners heard her and dug her out. Unfortunately, the collapse had nearly crushed her left arm from the elbow down and left her with serious claustrophobia. Despite her accident she still joined the Deimancers, and, thanks to experimental healing magic, had her arm healed, though it still has scars and she doesn't really like showing it. She joined the academy at 14, and is now 25. She is a bit of a glory hog, and not very sociable. On top of the casual racism typical of Shinestone natives and the class-predujuces of being from a near-noble family, she sometimes tries to belittle her fellows and play down their accomplishments to try and make herself stand out in the hope of being rising through the ranks more quickly. Despite this, she is good at heart, it's her upbringing and her drive to succeed that make her act like that. She has just recentley become a full Deimancer, but she has been held back from going any higher through the ranks due to her harsh personality and risky, not-well-thought-out combat style. In battle, she favours a wooden staff reinforced with metal and with an indent on the grip to switch deimonds in an instant. She prefers to use a standard close-combat style with the staff, using deimond magic as an extra edge by coating her weapon with fire, quickly moving by pushing herself around with kinetic energy, and much more.
