Posted ImageName: Santa Claus
Race: Some inspecific hybrid of human and elf, probably. Might actually be a nature spirit.
Gender: Male
Age: Not Telling (but probably really old)
Element: Mercury


Proficiencies

Build: Caster
Weapons: Staff/Ankh
Combat Role: Supporter/Striker


Abilities

Class: Aqua Toysmith -> Generous Traveler -> Blessed Courier -> Gifter Saint -> Odin's Giver
Spells:
-Cold Miracle: Restores a small amount HP and PP to the target, or revives a fallen ally at very low HP.
-Frost and Cold Snap lines
-Gift Bomb: Summons an elf to deliver some tactical fire support for random physical or elemental damage. Out of battle calls various elves to handle utility psynergy issues.
-Diamond Dust/Diamond Berg duo
-Restore
-Cure Poison
-Wish series
-Frost Vision: Insight/Mind Read/Spirit Sense/Reveal/etc. detection psynergy.
-Ply series
-Power Blessing: Raises an ally's attack, defense, resistances, agility, luck, and dodge chance by 12.5% each for the duration of a buff.
-Hyper Speed: Raises an ally's speed by 50% for the duration of a buff.
-Warp
-Hover
-Break
-Agelessness: Removes all debuffs and negative status conditions from the target while restoring some HP, and will revive a fallen ally. Also happens to undo aging-related damage not normally fixed by healing or resurrective psynergy to the point of making someone physically a few years younger down to a minimum of physical maturity. Very PP expensive but castable, seeing as he's alive. Will unequip cursed equipment from the target.
-Douse line
-Boreas: Thanking to his impressive Mercury skills, Santa can summon Boreas. Yes, that Boreas. The summon. That usually takes 4 standby Mercury djinn. On his own. Highly PP expensive and is guaranteed to magically Sleep Santa Claus with all the effort if he doesn't use djinni instead, though party members can mitigate this by curing the status effect.
-Neptune: Oh yeah. He can summon That Guy too. Slightly less PP expensive than Boreas for obvious reasons, but will magically Stun him instead (still, it's curable).
-Moloch: Also summonable. About as expensive as Boreas and also Sleeps Santa.
-Nereid: Yet another Mercury summon. This one Santa can actually summon without being inflicted with status effects, despite the fairly high PP cost.
-Mercury: Santa Claus can summon Mercury djinni rather than just using ones he already has, allowing him to pretty much catch armies of the things when given sufficient psynergy fuel.
-Counter Rush: As Poseidon's.

Skills:
-Master physical and psynergy craftsman in several fields, though his original specialization was toymaking.
-Skilled sleigh and flying vehicle pilot.
-Generally an incredibly powerful adept who has had ages to master Mercury and other fields.
-Can fly and short-range teleport, seriously.
Fighting Style: Santa is allegedly a supporter, though he is not above slamming his enemies with ice instead. While he focuses on keeping allies alright, if they're in decent condition 'HO HO HO' followed by brutal ice slamming is usually in order. He usually fights alongside Mrs. Claus, Krampus, a small army of northern elves and drakes, flying psynergy-capable reindeer, and assorted other mercenaries. In some cases he uses a powerful tear stone capsule to enter a state where he can sustain granting Boreas presence and durable form and having the north wind lay waste to his enemies instead.

Character Details

Height: 6'3''
Body: Heavy, but somehow capable of compressing to the point of being able to fit down chimneys.
Personality: It's Santa Claus, except as an Adept who wants to take over the world. You figure this out.
Bio:

Santa Claus, originally a mysterious gift-giving traveler (perhaps from somewhere on Angara's northwest?), is an incredibly old adept from Weyard's ancient past who managed to survive the troubles of the world in the near-inaccessible region of the Northern Reaches between the Mars and Mercury lighthouses...who plans to take over the world!

To this point, he has gathered a large army of adepts, monsters, non-adepts, and artifacts from around the world, a mission started by his wife Mrs. Claus (also Mercury) a long time ago with the leaders of their group their longtime battle partners Krampus (Venus), Befana (Jupiter), Olentzero (Jupiter), Amu Nowruz (Venus), Nane Sarma (Mercury), Ded Moroz (Mercury), Snegurochka (Mercury), Haji Firuz (Mars), Knecht Ruprecht (Mars), Belsnickel (Venus), and Pete (Mars). Together, these leaders form the Santa Team.

His stronghold, known as the Workshop, is a gigantic sprawling complex of a fortress the size of a city-state with defenses to match, located in the hidden mountainous depths of the Northern Reaches. Originally constructed in a chance habitable valley distantly accessible from sea, with the result of the great rocks to the west of Treasure Island it is simply easier to access through flying, be it long-distance Soarwings, airships, or more tactically, the flying Jupiter-wielding reindeer (pegasi-reindeer or no, they still fly).

Much like the legendary Alex of the rising of the Golden Sun, he is one of those strange Adepts who is simply far above and beyond a normal Adept in potential with no particularly reachable 'level cap' effect even before absorbing large amounts of psynergy powers, on top of usually being clad in heavily enchanted artifacts. Every now and then he and his flying army form the Wild Hunt, a great sieging force that travels the world fighting giant monsters with psynergy as a force of legend which seeks these beasts for their power (and valuable pieces). It is said that he forged a great pact with the north wind itself in order to grant it form and presence directly.

Occasionally he acts like the regular Earth-style Santa and gives children presents mysteriously on his (usually in early winter) monster hunting trips too.

Overall Strengths: Probably has whatever the normal cap is on Mercury power and resistance, if not higher. Can chuck out Mercury summons without djinn reliance (given enough PP restoration and status effect cures he can actually remain useful).

Overall Weaknesses: Is a Mercury mono to the extreme and thus relies on support strikers to do serious damage to Mercury-based or highly Mercury-resistant enemies. Is highly vulnerable to status effects and his strongest attacks inflict them on himself, limiting his offensive output if he wants to stay alive. Burns through his PP pool like nobody's business even when it's heavily boosted when it comes to using his best moves, forcing him to take time to get the status problem fixed and then restore it through various methods before he can resume the assault or even resume helping people on top of being incapacitated already if he needs to stay functional. Exaggeratedly awful resistance to non-Mercury.

Stat Play: In approximate comparative levels of priority when figuring out stat distribution for most given systems. Most likely still going to be lategame boss to bonus boss tier in a Golden Sun system unless the fighting has gone post-Adept rather quickly. Does not account for equipment.
