Haven - Model student (asshole)
Per request of @Tobyas_Priest
Haven Vex is a student at Netherborne Academy, one of the most prestigious magical institutions in Ashen. Coming from a wealthy and influential family, Haven was raised with practically every advantage imaginable. He’s accustomed to expensive education, high expectations, and being surrounded by people who rarely tell him no. Needless to say, humility was never particularly high on his list of priorities.
Like everyone else in Ashen, Haven possesses Aether, the energy that allows humans to wield magic. However, his natural aptitude is considerably above average. He’s an exceptionally capable magician with a strong understanding of spellcraft and an impressive amount of experience for his age. He’s also an outstanding student, consistently achieving some of the highest grades at Netherborne.
Haven takes enormous pride in his accomplishments, and he’s certainly not shy about showing it. He’s spent years building a reputation as one of the academy’s finest students, receiving praise from professors and recognition from his peers. He’s practically everything an ideal student is supposed to be, at least on paper.
Unfortunately, he’s also an insufferable asshole.
Haven looks down on practically everyone around him, particularly students he considers less intelligent or magically gifted. He’s quick to criticize, loves pointing out other people’s mistakes, and has a nasty habit of making others feel stupid just for the sake of entertaining himself. He rarely passes up an opportunity to remind someone of their shortcomings, and he takes particular pleasure in getting under people’s skin.
His family name, academic achievements, and magical abilities have given him a considerable amount of confidence, although calling it a superiority complex would probably be more accurate. He’s accustomed to getting his way and doesn’t respond particularly well when someone challenges him.
Despite his behavior, Haven maintains an excellent reputation among Netherborne’s faculty. He’s disciplined, articulate, well-presented, and perfectly capable of behaving himself when there’s something to gain from it. His classmates, however, know exactly what he’s like when the professors aren’t around.
