Appearance: Allistor's age is displayed in the silver/white that colors his hair and wisened gaze. He has a set of hard lines just under his eyes which have a pale green hue. Of Allistor's features the merge of his beard and mustache - the thick, full stands that pass just below his chin - draw eyes easily as the Professors hair borders on thin wisps from his scalp. Allistor is average height for a human and he walks with a slow stride that shows his confidence in his standing on confidence and his ability to maintain it. He wears a pair of wire frames while out and about as his age has partially affected his eyesight.
Personality / Quirks: When Allistor started researching magic he never imagined himself a s a professor in a high class academy. He thrives in a challenging environment so becoming a professor was a logical step in his mind. Shaping younger mages, helping them appreciate and understand magic.. this was his calling. He takes keen interest in those more inclined to learn, often helping them in whatever ways he can. When Professor Hedwinct is in the classroom, there is bond to be some playful demonstrations and some seriously strict studying. He loves what he does, but he take sit very seriously and is very vocal about the possible downside of any magics. He isn't one to sugarcoat the facts, and as it stands there is nothing more dangerous than going into mage hood uninformed. He's lost too many pupils to be careless, and he insists that he doesn't take apprentices for that very reason, though he's sometimes swayed by eager and accepting minds.
Through his progression in magic, Allistor was aware of the general distrust for it by many. In his younger days, he advocated for mages. His aim was to bring to light the uses and good qualities for magic, but there was always that one bad egg. Eventually Allistor decided to change the outlook on magic in the classroom. He knew the dangers and risks. He knew the potential and rewards as well. It was time he taught that to the next generation. Though not particularly fond of initiation, Allistor is seeking a pupil he can pass his gifts to as he is getting up in age and will eventually have no time to pass on the infinite knowledge or progress further in the art that is magic. He seeks one student that has a thirst to know more, to be more. He feels his experience will make him an excellent teacher, and under his tutelage one special student will thrive.
Views on Rozkia: Rozkia has never wanted anything more than to be useful before now. She's always seeking something better, something stronger for herself. Misplaced or not, Allistor sees potential for growth in her. They have an.. odd sense of camaraderie. Rozkia readily absorbs whatever is given, greedily so. Allistor is almost all too happy to provide it, thinking her thirst for power is in good intentions. The kindly old man has found a student willing to do whatever it takes, even if for the wrong reasons he finds out eventually. That thirst, that drive, he feels he can shape it into something good. His success isn't guaranteed, but he knows better than to leave magic in the hands of a rotten mind.
