General Appearance:
Sage is just as innocent as he looks. He has often come off as soft and beautiful, and the feature about him that strikes people the most are his dazzling emerald colored eyes. It is not entirely unusual for people to feel inclined either to taint the light he possesses or protect it with fierce intensity when it’s seen, but Sage prefers neither and would rather just be friends with anyone who shows him kindness.
His smile is almost always genuine and is best when he is laughing. Sage is also often told that he most resembles his mother, but he has gained perhaps the most inspiration from his father to be strong and also kind. When he cries, which is never without good reason, his tears tend to be heartbreaking to see no matter how much he tries to hide the fact. Although one might think Sage would be graceful in his steps, he is actually a huge klutz and sometimes can be seen with minor bruises or injuries from his falls. Fortunately, it is rare for him to get into any serious accidents and could be completely avoided if he did not space out while walking.
Sage’s skin is a pale white but has a healthy glow. He gets flustered very easily, and his face may turn red like a cherry if you say something that he finds embarrassing or incredibly endearing.
Personality:
Sage is probably one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. One could say he is the spawn of a cheesy Christmas movie. He is incredibly caring and there is little he would not do for a friend. He treats everyone with respect and sometimes even those who have hurt him will receive his kindness if he sees there is some good in them. Sage places his trust in some of the most unlikely of places, and this tends to get him into trouble. However, having friends, due to his amiability, comes with benefits and as long as they are by his side, he can get through any hardship.
He is a bit spacey at times and doesn’t always pay attention when he should, so it is not uncommon for him to have a confused expression and have little accidents (like tripping and falling on his face) from his lack of balance. Sage always has the mindset that he can better himself and he gets frustrated when he is unable to do something. But this does not stop him, and he perseveres until he succeeds. Accepting that something is impossible is extremely difficult for him, seeing as he has such a positive attitude most of the time, and sometimes he has expectations that are much too high and are a cause for disappointment later.
Sage can be very understanding and can easily empathize with people. However, cruelty and the existence of evil is something he has a difficult time wrapping his head around. Very rarely will he deem a person evil, even if they have done something terrible, and he tries his best to be brave even though some things terrify him to the point where he is frozen and incapable of thinking. Despite this, he will not hesitate to come to someone’s aid even if it may endanger him greatly. Because of this, he rushes into situations he cannot handle and sometimes may not even be on the right side. In all honesty, he’s adorable and sweet, but a complete idiot.

Strengths: Sage is great at helping people and being a shoulder to cry on. He is also skilled in archery, somewhat decent at cooking and playing the piano, and is a great human flashlight. Sage also seems to have a skill in turning bad people to mush (don’t ask. I don’t know how he does it).
Weaknesses: Sage is accident prone and is too trusting of people. He is also too nice to people who may not deserve it, and is not very knowledgeable when it comes to the world (He does fine in school, but his street smarts are poor). Also, he is an extreme lightweight and just a little bit of alcohol will make him a giggling, giddy (and sometimes lustful) mess.
Fears: Sage is frightened of the dark and not being able to help those he cares about. He also fears doing anything that he may regret for the rest of his life.
Secret: Well, he doesn’t really like people to know he is afraid of the dark, since he considers it to be childish and worthy of harassment from others. He is also not a virgin (freaking shocking to me…and suspicious), but he doesn’t really like to talk publicly about his sex life nor does he like to speak about the fun that went wrong.
Family Ties
Father: Derek Ersilia
Mother: Alison Ersilia
Siblings: Stella Ersilia
Any Other Important People: Cousins Thyme and Angela
History
On a snowy evening shortly after Christmas, Alison Ersilia fell into labor. Sage was born a week earlier than expected, but he was delivered without complications and was called “the light of Alison and Derek’s life.” Although their eldest child, Stella, was special to them as well, Sage never ceased to bring a smile to their faces regardless of the situation. He lived a very comfortable life with his family under the motto that his mother often uttered. She used to say that ‘life was like a flower that needed a little tending to, and without a little bit of light, it would not be strong and beautiful’. Because of this, he believed that staying positive was the key to happiness, and he never gave up on anything that seemed difficult or impossible.
Sage and his sister Stella were very close, and she always encouraged him to pursue any dreams he might have, even if it was something as crazy as wanting to be a dragon. As he grew older, he took a great interesting in astronomy and was always fascinated in how things like the moon could be so bright without emitting its own light or how stars could be seen when they were really millions of miles away. However, the dark void of space was somewhat mysterious and frightening to him.
When he was twelve years old, Sage awoke from his sleep and was surprised from what he saw. He was glowing like a star, and his body was covered in sweat from the warmth he was emitting. For the rest of the night, he could not sleep soundly.
Sage felt uneasy after the incident and did not tell his family about the strange power he had. However, it was only a few days later that the Hammel Institute recruiters came for him and took him away to Vermont. He went with them without a fight, wanting to understand more about himself and more importantly, prove that he was not as useless as he thought he was.
He was shy during his stay there and did not speak much to the other people, but he is coming out of his shell and making new friends every day. There was even an incident in which he had a few drinks with a group, but unfortunately, something happened and he lost his virginity at age 16 to someone who dismissed him and disappeared the very next day. This disheartened him a bit, but he was definitely surprised to see his own cousin, Thyme, join the institute as well about two years later. Since then, they have become closer as they work towards their graduation and rights to return home.
Roleplay Example
Sage hoped that Thyme was not avoiding him today. As Thanksgiving grew closer, he knew his cousin would try to avoid any awkward family interaction, no matter how much he missed everyone. It was a beautiful, crisp Fall morning, and Sage basked in the glow of the morning sun. Since it was so bright, he had to squint a bit to truly see, but there was nothing more refreshing to him.
School was just about done for the short break, and he was looking forward to seeing people without the worries of homework and endless piles of papers and projects. The past week had been incredibly stressful, but he kept positive througout it all, remembering to keep the light in every situation lit like his mother used to tell him. He knew everything would only make him stronger if he allowed it.
"Nothing but blue skies..."
He whispered quietly to himself, smiling as he leaned back against the wall of the institute, his emerald eyes staring off into the sea of white, fluffy clouds in the sky that neighbored the golden sun. Would that light shine down on him from now on?
