Zauber:
I grew up on Aeon in a small village. The biome was plains as far as the eye could see. Completely grassy, barely any hills, and no such thing as a tree. My village was relatively young compared to others I've seen, mostly residential as it was an offshoot of a larger village. My powers came in when I was nine. It was pretty noticeable since my hair color changed and I suddenly had tattoos. Got some celebrity status from that, the main village was already aware of the whole Core User thing. A year later, one of Philote's lieutenants, Shadow, dropped by to give me some information on how to work my powers better and to make sure that I would not end up causing trouble. I was left alone after that for quite awhile except for regular check ups from the government. Then, a year before I arrived at the college, Philote arrived and offered me the chance to attend the college. I did some training with him over the year involving Core specific stuff that I would not learn at the College and then when it was time, he teleported me to the main gate first day. Currently, I'm Twenty.
Romans 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?
1 Corinthians 13:1-3 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
