Obern Severin
Obern has been a superb student his whole life; his family managed to scrape together tuition to decent schools and his performance garnered enough attention for scholarships to see him through to a place at the Castalia.
During his school years, Obern developed a fascination with illusion magic. An awkward kid, he realized cantrips could entertain his bullies and make him, if not popular, then at least grudgingly welcome.
Obern’s other love has always been the theater: a place where you could share an experience with others without having to interact with them greatly appealed to him. Looking for work so that he didn’t have to rely on his family’s support led him to take a position at the Hesperange Theatre, one of his favorites.
A little starstruck, even with the only formerly-great Hesperange, Obern is considering staying on even after school. He hasn’t mentioned it to his parents yet, fearing their reaction, but he’s having trouble with the idea of leaving.
