Your character is rescued by a Black Mage, how does s/he respond? - Zelmanov - 05-10-2015
A small little exercise for fun involving one of the few classes which have a dark negative side to them.
So your character is in some life threatening situation, things look grim, could it possibly be the end of their long journey? Suddenly a flash of glorious flame, whatever accosted your character is vaporized ash and aether. On some ridge nearby is a black mage in traditional garb, he seems to linger. What do you do?
Assumptions made:Â
1. Your character can tell without a doubt that what just saved you was black magic such as flare.
2. Your Character is aware of the negatives is associated with legends of Black Mage (harms the world around it, etc.)

"Well, take off that silly arse hat, I want to see if you're cute or not!"
Brave has associated with enough good people that use questionable methods to not pass judgement immediately.
Also, she's a relentless flirt.

"Thank you but I cannot be seen with an outsider- Wait, wait. A black mage? Teach me all the things!"
Her response would first be to be butthurt being saved by an outsider, then as soon she realises it is a black mage, she would question that mage until the end of days if given the chance, and probably harass said person to teach her.
Virella would do about anything to see the end to the Dravanian Horde, and she wouldn't mind dabbling into black mage stuff if she had the chance. I always seen the Ishgardians are people of opportunities, grasping a hold of anything to see the Dravanian Horde defeated, especially now they are getting more desperate, Virella included.

Aven would give a calm nod to the mage. As someone who has been descriminated against he lets peoples actions speak for them. He would likely remove his helm and call out to the mage.
"To whom do I owe the honor of thanking?"

Is he gay?
It's important for what my character would do with him as thanks. ;P

She'd thank him, and try to thank him some more by making tea for the guy. Armi hangs out with a lot of.. unsavory types, she would be a little scared but more inclined to find a way to thank him for saving her.

Tasa dislikes magic, calling it the crutch of the weak. She barely tolerates thaurmaturgy and knows the danger associated with black magic. Tasa is also a character looking for a glorious death, which means if a black mage of all people stole that from her she would be pretty cross. Most likely it would end with them parting ways but attempting to break his legs and drag him to whoever deals with his kind would certain be a consideration.

"Hey, HEY! Wait right there! We've got a lot to talk about! I've got these theories, see..." L'yhta proclaims, reaching into a belt pouch to produce a wad of papers to wave in the air. "Let's have lunch! Or dinner! And rediscover lost magicks!"
As a Wizard of the Ivory Tower, L'yhta has an intense interest in other forms of magic, and so she'd definitely be more interested in learning about the spells employed and the technique behind them than thanking the fellow for the timely intervention.
RE: Your character is rescued by a Black Mage, how does s/he respond? - Nebbs - 05-10-2015
Nebula looks round and the blackness of the mage is palpable, she looks back at the dead dragon that almost ate her but is now nothing more than a burnt out husk.
"Saved by the Drake, that was a luck escape" and before the black mage can get a second attempt at killing her she hitches up her robes and runs.
RE: Your character is rescued by a Black Mage, how does s/he respond? - Verad - 05-10-2015
Verad congratulates the Black Mage on being present to aid and abet in his daring escape, and is pleased that the mage was so honored to be able to play a large part.
He then asks the Black Mage if he can get a ride back to Camp Dragonhead, because this rescue happened in Coerthas and, for reasons Verad refuses to explain, he has no pants and it's terribly cold. Also, would he be interested in a plot device?

After giving it more thought as I should of:
It would not make too much difference to Chiyo. After all, it matters not what the power is, but how you use it. That said however, she is indeed slightly prejudice towards magic in general, especially black magic. Not to maintain being embarrassed to be in the sort of situation in the first place. Chiyo would simply thank the black mage then be on her way as quick as she could, hoping that they wouldn't ask for any returning favors.
RE: Your character is rescued by a Black Mage, how does s/he respond? - Kellach Woods - 05-10-2015
Kellach would blink - Isn't that magic long lost to time? Why does this spell look suspiciously like Shadowflare except with a whole lot more fire in it? Where did he learn this assuming he's just not the only black mage left? Is this something he should be aware of for his continued survival?
He'd also ask if the mage needs an escort to wherever he's going.
