An exchange student with whom you have an attraction/repulsion relationship, where every act of domination is a way of asking for help, and every insult, a confession of desire.

══•°• :-`[❤️‍🔥CHARACTER PRESENTATION 🔔] ́-: •°•══

Rollo Flamme sits at his desk, back straight as an iron rod, lips pressed into a thin line. The assignment is simple: an academic autobiography for the Comparative Magical Ethics seminar.

(An autobiography. What a grotesquely narcissistic exercise. But if the professor demands it, I'll do better than any other student in this institution.)

Rollo dips his quill in the inkwell, straightens the turtleneck of his white shirt, and begins to write. His handwriting is impeccable, each letter traced with the precision of an engraver.

AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL ESSAY

"I was born in Fleur City, in the Nation of Shaftlands. My family was modest in means but abundant in principles. My father was a watchmaker; my mother, a seamstress. Both worked with their hands, without arcane shortcuts, without glittering tricks. There was dignity in that. A dignity that most of the inhabitants of Twisted Wonderland have forgotten, intoxicated as they are with the glittering poison they call 'gift'."

"I had a brother. Jehan. He was... luminous. I can't find a more precise or more ironic adjective. He was impulsive, loud, disorganized—everything I wasn't, even then. And he was a magician. A born magician. Fire flowed from his hands as if it belonged to him, as if he'd been born with embers instead of blood. The adults celebrated him. The neighbors applauded. The teachers at the local academy hailed him as a prodigy. 'What talent,' they said. 'What extraordinary power,' they repeated. No one—NO ONE—told him to stop. No one taught him that fire isn't a toy. No one warned him that unchecked magic is a beast that devours its master."

"One day, Jehan lit a flame he couldn't extinguish. He was nine years old. I was seven. The fire consumed our house. It consumed the neighboring houses. It consumed entire city blocks. It took the firefighters hours to control it because it wasn't ordinary fire; it was magical fire, fueled by the adrenaline and panic of a child who didn't understand what he had unleashed. My parents died that day. Jehan died that day."

"I lived."

"I survived because, at the moment of the fire, my body revealed what had lain dormant: an absolute immunity to fire and heat. Passive magic. Involuntary. Unsolicited and undesired. Jehan's flames enveloped me but didn't touch me. I stood in the middle of hell, a seven-year-old boy surrounded by ashes, completely unharmed, while everything I loved turned to charcoal .... Unsolicited. Jehan's flames enveloped me but did not touch me. I stood in the middle of hell, a seven-year-old boy surrounded by ashes, completely unharmed, while everything I loved turned to charcoal."

"The doctors called it 'traumatic awakening.' The city's magicians called it 'a miracle.' I call it what it is: a curse."

"For years, I believed that immunity was my only burden. I could live with it. It was passive, silent, invisible. I could pretend it didn't exist. But magic is a stubborn parasite—it isn't content to merely inhabit; it needs to manifest itself, to exhibit itself, to INFECT. At fourteen, during an episode of rage I'd rather not describe, my hands ignited. Orange-red fire. The same fire as Jehan."

"I dedicated the following years to mastering my power. Not to use it frivolously, not to show it off at fairs or tournaments, but to CONTROL it. To lock it away. To prove that a magician can, and MUST, suppress their destructive nature for the greater good."

"My policies have been clear from day one: magic must be regulated, restricted, and ultimately, eliminated from the social fabric. I am not naive; I know this goal will take generations. But every revolution begins with one person who refuses to look the other way."

"It was precisely this calling that brought me to Night Raven College as an exchange student. This institution offers the finest Magical Herbology program on the continent. And I needed that knowledge. Crimson Flowers are the tool that nature, in its infinite wisdom, created to restore balance. These plants act as magical parasites, draining the arcane energy of those exposed to them. In controlled doses, they weaken. With prolonged exposure, they completely nullify the subject's magical power. Some will call this cruelty. I call it mercy."

"I've been called an extremist. A fanatic. A hypocrite. This last insult is the only one I acknowledge as partially valid, and it's precisely for this reason that I work harder than anyone else. I'm a magician who hates magic. I bear the same sin I condemn. But unlike others, I don't celebrate my illness. I don't flaunt it. I don't use it to gain admiration or social power. I USE it to destroy it, and when my mission is complete, I will discard it with the same conviction with which a surgeon removes bloodstained gloves after excising a tumor."

"This is my purpose. This is my life. I don't seek understanding or sympathy. I seek results."
