FIRST ORDER
PERSONALITY: positive: Intelligent, intuitive, level-headed, confident, innovative NEGative: unimpressed with authority, cold-natured thinking - sharp logic and practical no place for emotive decision-making, sarcastic - sharp tongued but always politely shuting you up NEUTRAL: cautious when needed, sneaky/cunning
ELABORATION:
He’s a stoic and private person. Inclined to think before acting, he’s sneaky and has a tendency to do whatever is most expedient in a situation. Many of the talented young seem convinced that they’re immortal and live charmed lives, but with him you’re never sure if it’s bravado or the sure and absolute knowledge that he’s foreseen all the possible eventualities and made plans for them. You shouldn’t be surprised if it was the latter since he has a mind like a steep trap. Another trait of his is to respond with an observation that changes the course of the conversation and thus he doesn’t confirm or deny the remark. He also tends to respond in a non-committal way and seems to have perfected the emotionless, considered tone. He tends to merge in with the shadows so you forget he’s even there. Decent head on his shoulders, practical, nerves of solid rock, cares that the team members survive and doesn’t give stupid orders (if/when he’s heading the mission or in charge. He will challenge you if he thinks you're giving stupid orders). He is very efficient and believes in covering all eventualities – for example, the enemy should go down fast and stay down, so you don’t get any nasty surprises later. Also he is very good at improvising with whatever’s at hand as weapons.
He’s a reassuring sort of boy who was always calm and matter-of-fact. Polite, well-mannered to the point of cautiousness, but you always felt as though he was looking right through you. Nevertheless he has a sarcastic wit, and is not afraid to lose his temper when pushed too far. He is well-known (by those around him) for being singularly unimpressed by authority. Not in an impolite way, but something about his demeanor tells you that he is doing you a favour by complying. Always rather sure of himself, the way the nobles of old always are. His self-possession can be quite unnerving at times for others, he seems to not care about anyone.
BACKGROUND:
Believes he's an orphan and had no friends before (because no one reported him missing to the police and no one came forward asking about him.... had an accident 7 years ago can't remember anything before that time, excepting his name and date of birth. motor skills area all fine, so reading/writing/speaking/magic skills are all still intact. became a 'state ward' until his 18th birthday, got a full scholarship to attend the mage academy due to his superior magic control and excellent grades. Will graduate from the academy when 23 years old.
LIFESTYLE: A regular stand-out student at the mage academy, lives by himself in a regular apartment (two bedrooms - one of which he converted to his 'study/library' room, kitchen with a bench/breakfast bar place, living room) on the third floor of a 10 floor apartment building, 30 minute walk from the academy. was Working as a barista at the most popular cafe on campus 3 days a week.
RELATIONSHIPS:
best friend | xing zhai shu (commonly known as ah zhai - his 'nickname') | 21 | best friends type relationship so lots of inside jokes and threats, always have each others backs and ask each other for advice when overwhelmed (usually ah zhai asks rarely kelsier)
Ah zhai is an adorable and bubbly cheerful and sometimes childish guy, have outlandish almost ridiculous out-of-the-box ideas that always either have merit or prompt a good idea/plan (these ideas added to Kel's tactical skills have an almost frightening level of success).

SKILLS AND ABILITIES
MAGIC/POWER:
He can see and intereact with the different dimensions or planes that exist in the world; the spirit world/plane (with ghosts, poltergists, spectres, spirits, etc.), the world/plane of demons and angels, and (very rarely) supernatural world/plane of faes. He sometimes gets 'warnings' from other planes inhabitants (if they are nice enough or meddlesome enough) as time most-times flow differently in the different dimensions. The easist for Kelsier to access are the spirit plane, mainly with ghosts, with the ghosts he can 'integrate' with it and use their knowledge and skills that they had acquired in life. There are five spirits (these can act apart from him, meaning they don't need his body, but will need skill to summon them and they will use up his 'energy' to affect the physical world/dimension/plane) that he is friends with and uses most often when in dire need; the 'Grand Elemental Spirits': The Spirit of Fire - Michealis, The Spirit of Thunder - Castiel, The Spirit of Earth - Enma, The Spirit of Rain - Bartimaeus, The Spirit of Wind - Woochi.
BACKUP: astral magics, basically 'socerer supreme' style magic (if you haven't seen the movie you can watch the trailer to get the main idea)
WEAPON/S: quite skilled with dual long daggers (strapped to his back), his favourite is still twin guns (strapped on opposite ends of his hips, one where the left back pocket is and one where the the right front pocket is)using plasma bullets fueled with tiny amounts of his magics, so it doesn't run out and he doesn't need to change the chamber. Also the left one can transform into a shield with intent and a certain shake when needed. Also has a small knife hidden in his boots.
SKILLS: brilliant tactician and strategist, innovative thinker, excellent memory recall - almost like an editic memory
Q&A
ANSWER IN YOUR CHARACTERS POV
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN TRAINING?: ...it would probably be since i was quite young as i have quite a good grasp of it as of 7 years ago. Since my post-traumatic retrograde amnesia have not gotten any better. (do they not have my personal details/records from the mage academy? or from when i was a state ward? *internal frown*)
DO YOU KNOW WHAT CREATURES ARE OUT THERE?: ...only whatever have been taught in the curriculum in the academy and school.
DO YOU PREFER WORKING ALONE OR AS A GROUP?: I don't mind. (if prompted/forced to explain: *have a tiny frown on his face* depending on the mission and circumstances you have to weigh up the pros and cons and look at the big picture of the things you want to get done. a group would bring different strengths to the team and may create synergy, however they have to get along and know each other or professional enogh to not be petty and able to follow the leader/captain's orders before that cam be accomplished. if not it can lead to a worse outcome which would be when i would prefer to work alone to a better effect. which they should know already?)
ARE YOU PREPARED TO FACE BEINGS YOU HAVE NEVER FACED BEFORE?: (*roll eyes internally* in a deadpan voice) Why else would I sign up to be picked? i love a challenge.
DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD SUCCEED IN THIS GRAND ORDER?: *shrugs* you mean accomplish the overreaching mission of closing the portals? remains to be seen. we have no info other than the fact that no one ever came back and the portals are still open. hey, we might even come back with info, would that not be helpful for future excursions outside the walls/gates? and as such be counted as some sort of success?
