Twilsby's current fascination with magic and more specifically the use of scrolls started at the age of 3 years old when he "accidentally" got his hands on a scroll of Silent Image. For 10 minutes there was an image of the wizened Great Grandpa Twilsby following his Great Grandson, waving and making silly faces, much to the toddler's delight. | Twilsby's current fascination with magic and more specifically the use of scrolls started at the age of 3 years old when he "accidentally" got his hands on a scroll of Silent Image.

The younger Twilsby fell in love with the writen word, magic and furthermore where the two intersect in Spell Books and Scrolls. Early in his school years, he found a passion for sharing knowledge, research and experimentation. There's no area of knowledge that's immune from Twilsby's inquiring mind, but his deepest passion is in developing better understanding of and improving processes for using and creating scrolls and spell books. | The younger Twilsby fell in love with the writen word, magic and furthermore where the two intersect in Spell Books and Scrolls.

Twilsby believes that the right scroll at the right time can save many lives and bring beneficial arcana to the layperson. He's working to increase accessibility to all in those situations and eventually opening his own Scroll Shop. In the meantime, Twilsby needs increase his library of spells and gold resources to create the scrolls that are most needed and adventuring is the best way to achieve these goals. The Guilds have incredible resources, but are slow to share with a neonate like Twilsby. | |||
Twilsby is the youngest of the 5 sons of Tycho Pendergras and Kepla Twilsby; Nicola, Aristoy, Strabo, Eucli and Twilsby. Ever member of the family is a talented Arcane Researcher in their own right. There are high expectations for the members of the family, and Twilsby loves and respects them all, but doesn't always feel comfortable with the pressure that implies. | |||
Twilsby greatest fear is letting down the family reputation, and hence is reluctant to disclose his last name. He is only likely to reveal his family if really necessary. Back in Sneerwell he was treated with too much difference and privilege for his liking. Twilsby much prefers having stand of his own name and accomplishments. | |||
Twilsby has traveled to other plane of existence in search of knowledge and new spells. He made an expedition into the Fey Wild and the Shadowfell for more indepth studies in enchantment, divination, illusion and necromancy schools of magic. Twilsby did a guest speaker series at each institution in those planes. In fact, he found that the shadow beings he interacted with far more hospitable than the Eladrin. | |||
In a fight, Twilsby is more likely to hang back and analyze the situation before acting. Swift, foolish response can get you killed. He leaves the rushing in to muscular, weapon wielding types. Twilsby is happy to share his insights with the party and spend hours instructing anyone who is interested in learning anything Twilsby knows. | |||
Twilsby can get lost in conversation, almost literally. He can easily get diverted down a fascinating tangent that somehow loops back to where the tangent broke off just to keep going down the original line of conversation. The sharing of knowledge, ideas and concepts may in fact be Twilsby's greatest joy in life. | |||
The more Twilsby understands a thing, place or person, the more he can trust in his predictions of the function, behavior, etc. of the subject. In short, once he understands, he accepted how it is no nothing else. Twilsby trusts his objective analysis of things, and as long as things consistent, he can understand what to expect. | |||
One of his core values is to try to limit wasteful behavior. Another is, nearly anything is valuable in the right situation. One that Twilsby has a hard time with is, know to cut your losses, don't get over invested or fixated on anything. The one that brings him the most peace is, there is always a WHY, even if it's not a good one or not one you can ever learn or understand fully. | |||

When Twilsby casts a wizard spell as a ritual, he can use the spell's normal casting time, rather than adding 10 minutes to it. Once he uses this benefit, he can't do so again until he finishes a long rest. | When Twilsby casts a wizard spell as a ritual, he can use the spell's normal casting time, rather than adding 10 minutes to it.
