Iban Wage

"I love this guild. Why? Probably because the master doesn't really care what stupid things we do, as long as he finds it funny."

- Iban Wage

Iban Wage is a powerful Ice Mage who is the Guild Ace of Arcadia. He prefers to work in partnership with other members of the guild, but will work alone if neccessary. He has decent relations with all current members of Arcadia, with the exception of Nadir Taevas, who he considers to be an 'over-confident idiot with no respect for others.'

Appearance
Iban Wage is a tall young man, with light-coloured skin, green eyes, and light blue hair. He typically wears a black t-shirt, white jacket and white trousers. However, like many Ice-Make mages, he has a noted stripping habit.

Personality
Iban Wage fully subscribes to the Arcadia Ideology of being relaxed and laid-back, preferring to work with others rather than alone, and preferring to get along rather than fight. The exception to both of these however, is Nadir Taevas, with whom he has had numerous disagreements, often leading to fights, which he usually loses. Iban displays little interest in his female guild-mates, prompting other members to think that he is gay. This impression is backed up by his mannerisms. Iban strenuously denies this whenever he is confronted on the matter.

History
Iban was born on the 25th of June X770 in Onibus town. His parentage is unknown, but he is suspected to belong to one of the more important local families. He took his surname from the packing crate that he was found in, before being sent to the local orphanage. Iban remained at the orphanage until his twelfth birthday, when he was adopted by Chris Burden. Iban discovered his ability to use magic when he was thirteen, and spent the next two years training himself to become stronger. When Iban turned fifteen, Chris invited him to join his new guild Arcadia. Iban accepted the request, and joined as the single S-Class mage of the fledgling guild. Later that same year, Iban met a disillusioned Nadir Taevas  who he convinced to join his father's guild. Soon after this recruitment, Iban and Nadir began to fight regularly, almost always ending in Iban's defeat. This persisted until X797 when the dark guild Vortex launched a series of attacks on Arcadia, forcing all members of the guild to ignore their differences and work together. After X790 and the cessation of Vortex's attacks, Nadir and Iban went back to fighting each other on a regular basis.

Magic and Abilities
Ice-Make ( アイスメイク  Aisu Meiku'): Iban uses primarily static Ice-Make, primarily weapon spells such as sword, bow, hammer and battleaxe. He has also been shown to use defensive spells such as shield and rampart.
