Christopher Spellcrafter

Christopher Spellcrafter (born 5th May, 3012) was one of two children born to his father, Stephen Spellcrafter and his mother, Nylah Spellcrafter. Chris was delivered sometime after the family had decided to move from San Antonio, TX to Conyers, GA. He received his signature green hair from his mother's side, but his eyes from his father. Chris was set to live a normal life on Earth, but that was set to change just a year into his time as a teenager.

Early life
Chris was born to Nylah Spellcrafter and Stephen Spellcrafter on the 5th of May 3012 just a few years after his sister. Though a small gap, this age difference would prove to be greater down the line. In the beginning, Chris was a spoiled child being given whatever he wanted. Whether it be waffles or simply attention, he received it from everyone but Emily. While his mother and father did this, his sister was quite the opposite. Emily would give anything to have nothing to do with him, simply because she wanted to be an only child.

Chris would often barge into Emily's room, try to sleep there, and even pry into her business. Though their parents encouraged them to spend time together, Emily was much against it. Still, as Chris grew up he never stopped wanting to be around the sister he found so amazing. From her band practice meetings at school to playmates to an amusement park, he was there. Emily even began to refer to him as her shadow which never went away. Still, as many siblings do, they got along overtime and bonded from time to time.

After the mysterious death of their parents, Emily received a call about the incident at a concert and hurried to the police station. There she found her very much so traumatized brother and embraced him, though - he was never the same and became much more quiet. From there, a rough road followed. Emily faced the threat of being separated from the only family she had left seeing as they had never known the rest of her family. Given that the complicated situation, the only realistic option was adoption which could very likely result in separation. So, instead, his sister took it to court and proved that she was mature enough (though it took much effort on her part since the age of emancipation in the state was 16). From there, Emily had to work, cook, clean, and go to school for both of them.

This took a massive toll on her to the point where she lost many friends and fell into a deep depression, but still took solace in the fact that she could keep her brother safe and by her side. He would do everything in his power to cheer her up and even did his best to avoid unnecessary costs. He didn't ask for much, understood that there would not be much to eat, and avoided clubs. His job was to continue going to school, comfort his sister, and keep her sane. Overtime, he even began to see her as something of an adult, but upon losing her too, he became obsessed with discovering her whereabouts.

Emily Spellcrafter
Chris's relationship with Emily after reunited with rather rocky at first. He was happy to see her but not only felt abandoned, but was not sure if she had been dead this whole time. While Chris refused to let it go and grilled her constantly for it, Emily was surprisingly understanding and apologetic. She did not harbor any harsh feelings toward him or try to defend herself. It was only after the attack on Terminus that they finally had time to simply talk as siblings again.

Emily had changed, becoming more battle hardened, but still loving. Chris could clearly tell that she was hiding her feelings and opinions from him, but did not push her on it. Instead, he comforted her after the loss of Victoria, reconciled, and made a promise to himself to make up for lost time. War or not, they would get through it together. Emily encouraged him to pursue a relationship with Penny because she knew he wanted it, but disagrees with him taking an active combat role.

Emily has tried multiple times to fill the parental role with Chris, but had no idea how to handle his teenage behavior. She progressively got better at it, but also realized that he didn't needed the same protection he did before. Instead, she opted to train him everything she knew, turning him into a fully capable fighter.

Nylah Spellcrafter
Chris's relationship with his mother was brief, but she spoiled him rotten according to Emily. She was also the reason that the family did not have contact with other family members, but Chris never found out why. All Emily could tell him was that their marriage resulted in the disapproval of both sides. When his mother died, she did so after securing him in a place she believed was safe.

Stephen Spellcrafter
Chris does not remember much about his father other than that he was protective. He died protecting both Chris and Nylah from their attackers, but his sacrifice was mostly in vain, since only his son survived.

Life on Earth
After the disappearance of his older sister, Chris was left entirely alone. He was given a constant stream of both food, a fair amount of money, and the roof above his head was paid for. Chris suspected this to be Emily helping him from afar where ever she was, and helped to drive his obsession with finding her. Instead of focusing on school with all of his effort, he spent his free time putting together leads with his two friends Jackie King and Ty Snagg. The two agreed to help, but found the entire situation concerning and wished that Chris would just work on living with one of their families. Their attempts failed and Chris remained in the home he knew to wait for his sister.

Recruited by Victoria
After meeting Victoria Dreadful (Tori) for the first time during school, Chris was thrown for a loop once he realized just how much she knew on the whereabouts of his sister Emily Spellcrafter. While Chris was trapped in the Imagination Realm, before battling Gatchi, he realized that Emily knew Victoria. He assumed that this was caused by the Imagination Realm reflecting one's memories, meaning Victoria had vivid memories of his sister. When the battle ended, Chris was left with a tough choice: to go with this girl claiming to be a 'Wizard' with the hopes of finding his sister or stay alone and continue to wait. In the end, he chose to go with her and become a Wizard. Unbeknownst to him, he would end up finding more than just Emily in his new home. Either way, he said goodbye to his two friends, hopped up on Tori's magic broom, and flew off. Chris wondered what happened to Gatchi after the battle concluded, but she was long gone.

Reunited with Emily
Once Chris arrived to the Terminus Administration Building with Victoria, he was greeted by Autumn Brood who had him sign up for the schools. Not long after that was when Tori pointed out Emily to Chris. His feelings were very mixed to say the least. He felt like he should be happy to finally have found her, but there was so much anger built up inside him as well once he realized that this was where she had been all this time. He felt hurt that she never told him and though Emily tried to explain that she didn't have a choice and was trying to protect him, he stormed out to get away from her. Though it was not entirely her fault, Chris felt some frustration at her absence as he thought she may have been dead.

Meeting Penny
""After today, I don’t think anything bothers me. Your name is Penny, right? Couldn’t you just say that instead of attacking me?""

- -Chris speaking to Penny after she knocked him out. After receiving his dorm room key and number, Chris went out into town to try and find it. He couldn't figure out where to go so he walked up to someone who just so happened to be Penny Dreadful. He wasn't sure what it was about her, but something told him he should ask her for help. Penny was very suspicious of him, especially considering how often people would try and tease her because she was once the Empire's poster girl. Chris had no intention of harming her of course and asked if he could show him the way to his dorm room. Once she did, she realized that his dorm room was the same number as hers and thought that this was a mistake or that he was trying to mess with him. So she kicked him, nearly knocking him unconscious before giving him a chance to speak. Her older sister Victoria Dreadful eventually arrived and explained to her that they were living together, and Chris was left on the ground, wondering what he got himself into.

Receiving a partner
The Partner Competition was an important event that, as the name implies, determines who would become a person's partner. Chris and Penny met up before the competition started, and a part of them already had an idea that they might end up together, including everyone else around them. Penny didn't get her hopes up, however, since she figured that because she was a Sorcerer that she wouldn't get a partner. When the competition finally began, just as they hoped, they found each other and even managed to come out of it with the fastest time in history, even beating out Headmaster Brood's time. It was impressive to say the very least and the highlight of Chris's day was seeing Penny smile as the crowd cheered their names.

The Battle of Terminus
After the announcement that the Empire had been spotted near Terminus, Chris laid down in his dorm room bed, reflecting on everything he had been told earlier that same night. He had been warned by Victoria to stay away from her and Penny's father Chaos Dreadful who was far too powerful to take on. She also told him not to let Penny fight him as well and to stay with her at all times. Chris thought for a moment and realized how unsettled he was about the whole situation. Penny wasn't with him at the time as she went to go bring back food for them and check on her sister. Chris ended up dozing off for a brief moment before one of the male guards outside yelled for him to get up because the city was being bombed and he needed to evacuate. Chris pulled out his sword and immediately ran outside to find that the city was lit ablaze. Violet found him and urged him to help her get to the airfield so she could reach her ship and take on the Empire from above. Megan was there fighting as well and they both went to cover Violet until she made it to the airfield and handled it herself.

Afterwards, Chris continued running forward, occasionally fighting enemies and met up with his sister Emily. He asked where Penny was and she told him that she was looking for him at the dorm but couldn't find him and turned back the other way. She didn't want Chris to go looking for her, however, because it was far too dangerous with too many enemies. Chris didn't care about getting hurt, but he needed to find his partner. He was told to stay with her and he was also worried. He wanted to be there to protect her and do something besides run around and find people to help. Emily reluctantly agreed but called upon her friend Myra to look after him while he went looking for her. As the two of them ran off, Chris found Myra to be surprisingly powerful despite her soft-spoken demeanor. Myra continued to protect him and Chris wished he could do more to help. From above, Myra noted the mages were watching the battle from above and going to help groups of individuals when they needed it, which made Chris feel a little safer and it amazed him how many powerful ones there were. Not long after, they kept going and Myra was getting overwhelmed by a group of Sorcerers. Chris remembered Emily mention that she didn't handle crowds very well and tried to help her only to realize it was too late. One of Myra's daggers was used against her and she fell because of it. Myra was dead and Chris held her in his arms, scared and feeling guilty for not doing enough. Victoria saw this and came down to aid him in a fight against a more powerful imperial knight: Vedi Der Ritter. Unfortunately, Vedi would be the one to kill Victoria and leave Chris to watch her die slowly in his arms.

The Reality of War
After the battle, a large funeral was held for the fallen mage, Victoria. Chris left purple flowers on her grave because she seemed to like that color and everyone else left her gifts and plagues of honor. The only person that didn't attend the funeral was Penny and Chris hadn't even heard from her since she found out. He noticed that Penny barely moved and didn't eat, and he had to force her to drink some water. The whole situation left Chris feeling guilty. He blamed himself for not being able to save Myra or Victoria, and the reality that the people he loved and cared for could be gone in an instant due to the war left him feeling depressed and a little scared. He started thinking about how useless he felt and how he wanted to protect his sister and Penny. Ian approached him later that same day and told him that he was still new and sometimes losing people can happen. The only he could do was keep fighting.

The Clock Tower Incident
Chris never liked Hunter, but after discovering that he was the reason Emily had gone missing, Chris made it her personal mission to hunt down the Fire Wizard. After receiving a tip from an unlikely helper, Chris and Penny converged on the location where Hunter was hiding out waiting to be extracted by the Empire: the clock tower located in the Terminus park. The two of them fought side-by-side against Hunter, and the result was the clock tower burning up in flames, destroyed. Hunter managed to escape, but Chris and Penny felt weak. They assumed their fate was sealed and they would parish along with the tower. Chris wanted to tell Penny how he really felt about her before it was too late, but Penny assured him that she knew. Before they could say their final goodbyes, Autumn had found them both and managed to help them out of the tower. Megan healed them both as well. Luckily, they were both saved, but Hunter got away and they had no idea if he was ever going to return. All they knew was he was a traitor and they would be ready for him.
