Nation of Origin: Shuthra
Backstory: Rine and his twin brother were born in a family of casters, as obviously expected. The only problem is, although Rine had magical talents since he was born, he couldn't use any kind of magic his family's casters tried to teach him. They were a family of Fire, Thunder, Wind and Ice casters, although it was known that there were casters who had talent with healing magic (in those cases, they were transfered to The Church in order to develop their abilities further). Unfortunately for the boy, he was born in a generation where no one could teach him anything about Wind magic, since his parents were Fire casters, his uncle was a Thunder caster, and his grandparents had an afinity with Thunder and Fire magic. His twin had an afinity with Thunder, so he got no problems whatsoever.
But, for Rine, it was difficult. He couldn't control the other elements even though his parents tried their best to teach him about Fire magic, no matter how much he studied and tried, it was clear Wind was the only kind of magic he could use. Even after he got to the academy (as a 6 years old boy), where he finally had lessons about how to control the wind, it wasn't the same thing as learning. He got to learn a lot of things about Wind magic in two years, but it wasn't enough. He could practice, yes, but he only had brief lessons, and he lacked experience since no one taught him anything about it until he joined the academy. His parents tried to introduce suitable masters to their Wind adept son, and they even got to teach him for a while, but in the end Rine's skills weren't enough to keep up with the classes. Many masters gave up on teaching him after seeing how much unnecessary work he was giving them, choosing instead to teach another student.
Until one day a middle aged man showed up in the academy, looking closely at the young students of his class, looking for a student for himself. He chose Rine, although it was unclear to everyone, since he was, by far, the worst caster. His reasons were always unknown, even to his new student. No matter how much he asked, his master would just say "You have talent, and that's all you need. Just believe on yourself.". After that, he stayed most of his day learning Wind magic, returning home just late at night. And so it repeated for an eternity.
Days passed. Weeks. Years. A decade. Everything looked like a dream, as if he became a pupil yesterday, but he had in mind that it has been a long time since it happened. After ten years of intensive training, Rine finally became a Wind Caster. He could control the wind around him as easily as he used his tongue to speak. He also got the gasp of some advanced techniques, and, as such, developped his owns. When he was 18, his master told him that he had nothing else to teach him, and that only experience could fill the empty space within the young caster. He once again asked him why he took such an amateur under his wings, and that he has been wondering about it since the day he has been taken as his apprentice. His answer was a bit more different, "You can't fill a cup that is already full. That's why I picked you. You had talent, and your cup wasn't filled at all. That's what made you the best candidate for training: You had much to learn.", and then "Well then, it is time we go in different paths. I'm sure we will meet again, but I can't teach you anything now. Some things in a Caster's life can only be learned with experience, it is something I can't teach you. When you are experienced enough, you will see what I mean. In order to complete your training, you need to travel around the world and develop your own techniques.Take this Elwind tome and go, do not look back and do not come back."
His family simply let him go without hardships. From generation to generation, their sons left their home-towns to create their own families and spread their knownledge throughout Shuthra, thus expanding their family name through the country. But he had other plans which were not revealed. Rine planned to travel throughout the world, in order to fully hone his skills, as his master told him it was necessary. He began with the nearby cities, but he knew some day he had to leave Shuthra, and this future draw closer.
