History and Traits
Micah is a fiery, moody magus of substantial power. She began her career as an Ebony (where she eventually rose to Archmage) under the direct tuteledge of the Archmage Damar Ogdem, before the formation of the Gold Order. Under him, she developed the skills and knowledge to become a master of the Art. Micah's research interests have long revolved around the schools of Enchantment and Illusion, both of which Micah has thoroughly mastered. Her foci were originally Dream and Shadow magic, with specific interests in the flexibility of using the Dreamscape to manipulate minds and in using Shadow Magic to twist nearly any spell from shadowstuff. Under Damar's teachings, Micah also developed a long-running interest in divinations, and has become quite accomplished in that as well (although not nearly to the extent of her other schools). After her apprenticeship to Damar, Micah learned the fineries of the Art of Steelcasting from its progenator Crunk Steelcaster as well as certain aspect of the Assassination Arts from the notorious Ebony archmage Sand. Lately, Micah has taken an interest in Wild Magic, especially in the wide variety of effects that are observed when the Vortex is unstable and in the causes of these strange magical phenomenon. She sees these random effects as strongly correlated to the flexibility of the Shadow Magic, and is curious to further explore the area.

Micah is generally aloof, tempermental, and condescending. She is like this to just about everybody, although she has a handful of individuals close enough to her for her to drop the charade and present a more cynical and relaxed demeanor. Her greatest respect is for intelligence, and she gives no regard to men-at-arms or stealthy-sorts unless it suits her temperment to do so. Micah's fits of rage are often inspiringly chaotic and deadly - her temper generally results in the offender being petrified or killed outright. On occassion, she simply lights those who anger her on fire while lecturing them on what she considers to be proper etiquette.
