Loyd Gelbero

Loyd Gelbero is a student at Gousewyn. He is played by Rens.

Early life
Loyd lived most of his conscious youth at his father's home in Vancouver, Canada. His mother was never there and his father never mentioned her and Loyd, in typical Loyd-fashion, didn't really care. He grew up a silent and unconcerned kid that liked to "doodle" a lot, though his doodles had a tendency to occasionally incinerate tables, flood classrooms and so on, much to Loyd's interest. Apart from a bit of a societal hiccup here and there, his early years were rather modest and he could doodle to his heart's content.

The Marcova Coven
After a particularly striking hiccup with a more magical nature, Loyd and his father found his mother back on their doorstep. She claimed that it was time for Loyd to come with her, and since his father obliged, Loyd went along with it. His new residence, that of the Marcova coven, was in the mountains of Norway, and Loyd was given all the time in the world to doodle and experiment away, getting homeschooled most of the time. It is also in this mansion, up high in the mountains, that Eggbert was given to him. Or appeared to him; it was there at some point and Loyd didn't really sweat the details. One day, after a particularly experimental doodle, Loyd lost consciousness. When he regained it, a massive hole had been blown in the house and most of his room was gone. Shortly after, he was told that it was time for him to go to Gousewyn.

Specialties
Loyd likes Runes and while he has nothing against other forms of magic, why would he ever use them when Runes are just so much cooler. As such, the lack of proper Rune-teaching in the first year was a bit of a bummer for him. He also has a rare and secret skill that allows him to get smarter when he's near death.

Other
Loyd's familiar is an egg, aptly named Eggbert. He nor anyone else knows what Eggbert truly is, where it came from or what its deal is. It speaks nor moves and is, as far as familiars go, quite useless, though Loyd can commune with it to miraculously receive any Rune in his mind. While this allows him to write the Rune flawlessly, there is no guarantee that he will be competent enough to properly pull it off.
