Name: Giuseppe Alighieri
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Element: Wind
Powers: An offensive, defensive, and a passive: Giuseppe can use highly-concentrated air to make projectiles that are both difficult to spot and really hurt to get hit by. He can also use air in the sense of making its particles, atoms and such, vibrate, which can disrupt someone's focus and magic usage. Something passive he can do is manipulate sound, amplifying it or muting it, a skill that can be used strategically.
Personality: Giuseppe isn't the most outgoing of persons; he would rather stay stationary, thinking about things such as lyrics, notes, progressions, and et cetera to songs. Really, Giuseppe's most outstanding feature is that he plays mainly guitar, and is quite skilled at it. Although he may not talk as much as some of the more rambunctious people, he uses self-expression through song and sing, which he believes to be expression enough. He would play something for people if they asked, though people would rather go about their day without it. Which was fine by Giuseppe, as he didn't really mind. That's not to say as he doesn't have friends. He is still very much social, kind and sweet to everyone he can be to. It only takes some time, as do all great things.
History: Giuseppe Alighieri was born in the city of Venice, in Italy, to an upper-middle class family. His family was one of musicians, his father being a pianist and his mother, a vocalist. From a young age, Giuseppe would take up music himself, choosing to learn how to play guitar. Of course, this was done alongside his normal schooling. Throughout his childhood, he learned bits and pieces of a foreign language known as English, spoken in both England and America, mainly. It went from just one to two words to full devotion to learning the language. Successfully and fluently bilingual, he was able to communicate with tourists and foreigners. This would come in very handily later on.
When Giuseppe first discovered his powers of Wind-using, it was his fifteenth birthday. He didn't know how, or why, or exactly when, but he awoke in a daze in the middle of the night. He was woken up by a strong gust of air. Though, it was not normal wind. It came from his
hands. Somehow, they stopped, and he went back to bed, too tired to realize that there was something off. The next morning, he blew it off as a wild dream, though quickly realized it was reality. He was greeted by men at the door of his home, telling him what he was, and that he would go to a special academy to learn about it. Neither him nor his parents knew what was going on, but he decided that he would attend. So, he packed his things and left for his destination.
Upon arriving to Quae Academy, he was greeted by a man holding a cage. Giuseppe realized it was for him, and accepted it. He was told to look inside, that he had a friend in there. He opened the cage door and was greeted by a small creature, a gryphon. The gryphon would walk over to Giuseppe and nuzzle his leg with an affection of friendship. Being told that he was to name her, and keep her as a best friend, he named her Aria. Aria, not wanting to go back into the cage, would jump up to Giuseppe's shoulder and perch itself there. So began a friendship for the rest of eternity.
