Riayan Clay

Riayd Clay is a rising criminal within Magius.

History
Having discovered his ability to use Earth magic as a young boy, Riayd quickly learned how to use his powers to one day become something "greater". However, while trying to learn how to use his powers, he got into an arugment with another child magic-user, which resulted in a duel between the two causing much chaos. When Riayd apparently killed the boy, he was then apprehended by powerful wizards of the Magic Council.

The event shook Riayd and his reputation, as he at first tried to restore his name and do good, which only landed him in more trouble, and chased by the Magic Council into the forest. He went on the run for weeks, looting supplies and weapons from various places beyond Riverville, and had to develop his magic skills on his own.

Over time, with more hostile encounters with the Magic Council and other "good" wizards, Riayd ultimately became disillusioned with the Magic Council's authority, and sought to fight against it. This crusade at times has caused him to hurt innocents, such as destroying the Bell Village and multiple Magic Council outposts.

After years of fighting and raids, he decided to take a chance at being a lawful person and turned himself in to the Magic Council, and was released after years of imprisonment. He returned to Riverville with a new purpose; hunting down dark wizards and making amends with his old neighbors

Earth Magic
Riayd can generate his own earth; he can more specifically generate bedrock. He at first developed Earth Magic: Charged Assault, which created a singular, large boulder with slow speed, but great force and power. As his skills developed over time, he developed Earth Magic: Minor Asteroid, which allowed him to kick a smaller, but faster and more concentrated rock projectile.

As a user of Earth Magic, Riayd also has natural increased durability against damage, especially from falls

Weapons Skills
Riayd has used various weapons of different qualities that he's discovered across Magius, allowing him to fight without using his Earth Magic. As a criminal, he wielded an old short sword, a dagger, and an enhanced Branch Bow. He generally saved his melee weapons to finish off weakened opponents quickly before they can cast any spells. Riayd often used his bow to fight against other bow-wielding opponents, or to quickly snipe chasers without using magic.

Once he returned from prison, Riayd began to use weapons more often, especially Vistarian-specific weapons, in order to familiarize himself with his culture that he had turned his back on. He has grown proficient in using the iconic Vistarian Spear, able to use it in both close combat and throwing, even able to land spear throws while spinning. He also uses shields, daggers, and the Vistarian Crossbow.
