Mannerisms.
Coming off as quite the gentle individual throughout his whole comeuppance, he is reserved about his personal interests. Seeing how they could come off as boring to many, so they're hidden even to some of his friends in the long run.Generally soft spoken and harmless most of the time, he speaks like a old man despite being young himself. Off putting to many which is why he often is alone for coming off as weird to many.As a user of sorcery - many things are at his disposal, granted if he is able to cast it, without any complications in between them. However there is one massive drawback to using said powers as a price to pay for wanting to be at full strength. Each time he were to use a spell albeit big or small. Lane would suffer some kind of pain either it be minor or major depending on the spell.A simple heal like curing one's back pain? He'd have a minor headache or dizziness as a result. Bringing someone back who were long gone? His lifespan would be cut and would die sooner of natural causes. Knowing he could bring back the one he loves, he would die before being able to see them. Those are just one of many possibilities. However - the one limitation that doesn't come at a price is the ability to tell Fortunes and make them come true.After his folks were slain on a fateful night, there is this hidden resentment for people he keeps hidden since not everyone is inherently vile. But in those instances he wouldn't be afraid to brutalize the one person who murdered his folks out of anger.There is still so much to learn about the world and yet so little time.
The Comeuppance of a Sorcerer.
It had began when Lane was just a child, his folks were branded as the best fortune tellers as everything they said when reading other's fortunes became true. While not in the moment, it did ring to be not false nonsense and so - he was next in line to take up the mantle as the one to continue tradition. Yet they were reluctant in teaching their own son how to do magic, because of the eminent dangers one could have, due to outside forces wanting the power. The ability to make fortunes true was all natural to him, but being denied how to learn magic was upsetting one could say.So in response to it, as Lane grew older up until his early teens he would learn in secret, reading the many books in the library they owned. How to conduct simple spells such as levitating smaller objects. It was a struggle at first but to his surprise, no one had an idea to what he would be doing for days coming on ahead. When finally being given the chance to make someone's fortune come true, it would be his first time reading someone. A fellow boy at relatively the same age as him, sitting by a table a reading was conducted. Albeit a little hesitant at first.
〝 . . .In your exact words tell me, why did you come here to seek out a fortune? Maybe to make a impossible dream true or is a different unexpected road ahead of you? 〞
While the other boy would respond although a tad nervous, ultimately it would be to become someone strong, people who can rely on him as the year progress, and tear away at this overwhelming shy yet reserved personality. These words intrigued Lane while moving him as well, wanting to do something like that as well. With Lane telling the other to extend out his hand and he'd do the same, a reading was conducted between them.
〝 In light of your struggles and all of everything beforehand - These words you said to me shall ring true to you in due time, you will go through an event that will change your trajectory, it may not happen now but as we are both young. Fate's hand is in play for you. Do not fret now, there is only more for you to experience just like me. 〞
When these words were spoken, little did Lane know these were foreshadowing something wholly unexpected. In respite the other boy look a little down at first but it was with confidence that his words will be of fruition. With the other leaving with a nod of the head as thanks, Lane felt a heavy wave of discomfort pass. He was smarter than the average kid since he was raised around in the library a majority of the time. Eventually being praised for doing a good job for the first time and in due time, these will be natural to him.
* Lane when he was only 14-15 years old.
It wasn't about two years later that Lane was more experienced since his folks were now teaching him how to be a true sorcerer, he was learning bit by bit on how to harness such a power. But in that two year span, he picked up some glasses since his eyesight was a little poor to him. During his 18th birthday and set to become the owner of the library: "Fates Fortuned" was when things fell apart. When everything was underway such as the party for him and all of those he knew came to celebrate, it was a good time all around. Until Nightfall had hit and said party was over, While handling gifts, Lane's parents went to have tea but didn't know that it was tampered with while they were enjoying themselves with their son as he was putting on new glasses despite knowing that putting new ones would cause dizziness. Regardless he did that since it would be impolite not to be grateful of receiving new things. Lane would start feeling it awhile later and turn in early for the night.While knocked out peacefully in the confines of his own room, Hearing the loud sound of something collapsing, that woke him up, causing Lane to quickly bolt out of his room and into the kitchen to see the bodies of his folks on the floor. That tea from before was tampered with a venomous toxin that was fatal but masked under the sweetness of the aroma. Before he could even make it out what happened, there was a figure outside - a familiar face was starring at him with malicious intent before ultimately disappearing, fading away. He...He couldn't believe it, that boy from years ago came back to haunt him and destroy his life. Right now, he couldn't focus - all his efforts were into attempting to cure those lifeless bodies, Lane still believed that they could be saved but - it was already too far gone.With the limited healing spells he knew he casted multiple with all of them failing and him taking the setbacks such as a bad headache, stomach pain, but it didn't deter him. Continuously, having his hands on their chest trying to sink in as much healing as possible to no avail. Alas there was no response, as much as Lane wanted to continue there was no pulse no nothing, just the toxin seeping into them as it swiftly melted their insides.Having to remember his birthday being the death of his folks was a painful one to endure as he had to continue business as is. Considering the way he is now the official owner of Fates Fortuned Library.It was about two months later since the incident and people who were regulars supported the kid to his age and to those who are adults and elders. Yet he couldn't bare to continue. It was rough times ahead for everyone to hear the news, As they were set away in coffins in a cemetery which he would visit every year, having to run the library by himself it was a big ask but he'd eventually get used to such a matter in due time. By not taking care of himself, his hair grew longer and adopted different pairs of glasses, the ones you see today. Before eventually deciding to stop moping around as much as he wanted to.And now in present day, here we have Lane. By his lonesome handing those who wanted a fortune to be told or to simply check out books at the library, using his magic to act as employees whenever there is something that needs help or needs him physically., still continuing his studies to become one of the best magic users around for himself and for those he considers close.
* Lane in present day.
