Warlock Origin: Macy Starscholar
DND Character Origin: Masalia “Macy” Starscholar
As the youngest daughter of the Starscholar family, Macy enjoyed a top-drawer childhood. Her and her brother Albus wanted for nothing, receiving every book, toy, and candy that they could imagine. This did not, however, make up for the fact that their parents were widely absent from their lives. The Lord and Lady Starscholar were premier traders in Stonefast, specializing in magical metals and spell components. While they amassed a neat fortune in the north, Macy and Albus were left to their own devices. As children, the brother-sister duo was joined at the hip. They were the best of friends and did everything together, having no other playmates or parents to turn to. They wrought magical mischief across their estate, enraging their nannies and tutors.
The Starscholar children were quickly shuttled off to the Alabaster Academy. This was in part due to their magical aptitude, but also because their parents had run out of governesses. It was their hope that apprenticeships would “refine” Macy and Albus, transforming them into adequate heirs for the family business, ‘Starskullen Survey Co.’
Academy life was swift to sever the pair. Macy and Albus fell into different schools of magic, leaving their schedules incompatible. Their meetings became increasingly rare, leaving Macy to eat lunch alone. Albus became absorbed in his research, devoting himself to the study of stars. He began to act strangely, speaking of “divine ascension” and “becoming a god in the astral planes.” When his experiments turned as wild as his vernacular, he was promptly expelled from the Alabaster Academy. Macy was aghast and more alone than ever.
Despite her posh beginnings, Macy has always been a humble soul. In fact, her self-confidence lacks terribly and she’s always seen herself as second to Albus. Alone at the Academy, Macy poured herself into her wizardly training. She excelled with gleaming accolades, which flagged her as a “try-hard goodie-goodie’ to other students. After winning ‘Evocation Student of the Month’ seven months in a row, she was almost universally despised by her peers. There was always a pin on her chair, a ‘hex me!’ note on her back, or a quasit conjured into her book bag. Always desperate to please and overly-trusting, Macy was an ideal prank target. School...
