[i]"I like to keep things simple"[/i]

[indent]Ethan stands at a modest height for a man and has an above average build for someone who rarely workout. He likes to keep his brown hair semi-styled and tends to let the back of his hair grow out to his neck before he cuts it. The rest he maintains at a length so they do not grow pass his ears and over his forehead. Like his hair, Ethan maintains a five o'clock shadow as he does not like it when his beard grows too big for him. He has brown eyes and has two scars, one on his right palm and the other on his left foot.

Ethan tends to exhibit introverted traits, though he is not against going against his comfort zone and trying new things. The main thing you could gather from him is that he is an inquisitive soul who seeks to understand both the world around him and his family. Mainly out of a sense of small sadness. As most would question why he lingers in town despite having the money to leave. Still, he does enjoy living in the town somewhat and is a friendly and kind person who likes to spend time with himself. 

Ethan tends to wear clothing based on the weather. Which given the cold weather of Twin Pines, he tends to wear jackets and coats to keep warm. Favoring cool colors and sometimes black. The style he likes to wear can be called semi-formal, though he can wear more casual or formal attire when required.            [/indent]

[i]"I want to understand"[/i]

[INDENT][b]MAIN GOAL  ⫻[/b] 
Ethan wants to know what happened to his parents and learn why they left him behind all those years ago. The last thing they said to him was that before dropping him off with a friend's family, they would return for him. That was when he was four, and now, twenty years later, nothing, and he is worried if his parents are still alive. 

[b]PHILOSOPHY  ⫻[/b] 
Ethan tries to keep a positive attitude in life despite his worry for his parents and the deaths of his stepparents. Hoping that things will be okay and that things will turn out well for him and others he cares for. Even if that number can be counted on one hand and more so given his travels. Still, Ethan keeps a hopeful mood and is not afraid to help out what few people he cares in the world.      

[b]SECRETS AND FEARS ⫻[/b]
Ethan hides his concern and status of his parents since he does not want others to react to him negatively or think he is naive. He fears that if his parents are dead, then that leaves him alone in the world and with no idea why he was dumped all those years ago. Along with possibly making a mistake ith leaving his home and traveling to find his parents his way.

[b]SEXUALITY  ⫻[/b] Straight 

[b] WHAT WAS THE FIRST DAY WITH MAGIC LIKE?  ⫻ [/b] Ethan was lucky at the time, he was home alone when magic came back, and at first, it started as a headache, soon turned intense until it felt like something turned on in his head, and suddenly everything looked weird, like ethereal weird. Everything was shaking and he could see his hands and arms were blue and having a strange blue aura around them until the disorienting experience forced him to the floor and when it was all over. He just felt like what just happened and realized what happened soon after.

[b]FLAWS  ⫻[/b] Ethan can be stubborn at times, and he can have a hard time connecting to people, which makes it a challenge for him to make friends with people.

[i]"Will I see them again?"[/i]

[indent]Ethan barely remembers where he was born, only that his family traveled a lot. For reasons he did not know, and one day, they came to a small town and dropped him off with a family friend. Telling him that one day they will return for him and things will be better. Now, since Ethan was four, he did not register this, and only as the years passed did he realize this and miss his parents.  

Still, Ethan was treated well by his new stepparents, and they never made him feel like he was not wanted. In fact, they treated him like he was their own child. A fact that he did know, and it did help him feel less lonely and think less of his missing parents. Though they would teach him stuff, he wonders why they were committed to making him learn. Like they were preparing him for something, and every time, Ethan would ask why. They would always say when he was older or when his parents returned.

Now Ethan did do well in his new home and was seen as having a bright future. Only that took a turn when he graduated from high school, and his stepparents were killed in a car accident by a drunk. Leaving Ethan alone, but he still stayed in town, waiting for his parents. 

Though as years passed, Ethan started to really think about his parents' promise to him and if he will see them again. Are they dead? What is taking them so long, and why bring him to that town? By the time he was twenty-four, and using what money he had. Ethan decided to leave town and find his parents after discovering a clue in his stepparents' attic. Now, on the road, his quest brought him to the small town of Twin Pines. After getting himself a place and a job. Ethan was keen on starting his search for his parents. 

Only when magic returned did he discover his magic. It put things on hold as he started to understand his magic and figure out what this meant. Yes, he now has magic, but why and why now? It perplexed him, and he sought to learn more about his magic while still focused on finding his parents.

[b]MAGIC ⫻[/b] Soul Magic, Ethan can see and manipulate souls and draw power from his own soul to use soul-based magic.

[b]MAGIC DESCRIPTION  ⫻[/b]  Soul magic deals with the soul and the ability to see souls, manipulate souls and draw power from his own. As in, Etahn is able to see what he calls the soul sight and is able to see souls and tell if there is something wrong with them. Like being mind controlled or if something else is living within their souls, like a ghost or demon or something else. Along with identifying if they are human or not. Though Ethan would not know right now why a soul is different. Along with being able to draw power from his soul to make both soul-based range attacks and put up a shield dome of soul energy for defense. Though Ethan does not know what else he can do with Soul Magic and is still learning what else he can do.         

[b]LIMITS  ⫻[/b] In order to use Soul Sight, Ethan's iris glow a dim blue and develop headaches if used for long. 

When using soul based magic, since he draws power from his soul. There is only so much he can use at a time before it tires him, and he has to stop as his soul energy needs to recover.

[b]WEAKNESSES  ⫻[/b] Sometimes it is best to not know what lurks beneath the surface.  In a world now filled with monsters, mages, devils, and demons a soul is a quick way to tell what is what.  However, certain entities are not too keen on others knowing exactly what is going on.  Thus, if Ethan were to use his magic to check the soul of someone, or something, he shouldn't he could very well find himself a target and a target rather quickly.  As well, prolonged use of this ability will cause it to remain in effect even if Ethan desires it to no longer be.  He will need to be sure to activate it when safe, and with restraint, otherwise he might invite deadly doom down upon himself.
