Somewhere around 35°09'24.5"N 138°39'15.9"E.
Also that's a nice Mustard Seeds picture you've got there. I like the one of her and her dad, personally.

@Letter Bee
Not complaining or anything but is it really power when all it does it tell you things you already knew to begin with?
That just seems a little odd, is all.

Name: William "Billy" Avalan
Age: 17
Appearance:
He has large blue eyes, messy white hair, and pale skin. He stands exactly 6'0 in height and weighs 180 lbs.
He wears a blue winter jacket with a hood, black jeans or grey sweatpants, and a white or black t shirt. On very hot days he will wear some shorts and a lighter jacket.

Personality: After his incident he has been very reclusive and anti social. He tries to avoid contact at all possible in fear that he will hurt more people or loose his sanity. He tries to keep down his stress and anger with a variety of anger management tactics, as he is easily annoyed but has adopted to try and do the 'turn the other cheek' mentality. He is very quiet and has a 'cynical' sense of humor to the few he will talk to. He definitely will not sugar coat anything and will be straightforward and honest with any question, regardless of offending anyone.

History: He was always a 'quiet' kid with a passion for nature, but at one point he 'discovered' his gifts when he was pushed to far in his school, which on that day the school burned to the ground and he was the only survivor. Most didn't think anything of it, as there was no evidence or witnesses of his draconic fury unleashed. Despite this, he was still contacted by the four winds years later. This event has obviously scarred him, and he refuses to talk about any details or specifics of his past, especially with his destruction of the school. While he in part loathes his ability, he also desires to hone it as to better control and understand his magic ability and to avoid hurting anyone again from lack of self control. As such, he only practices in his lonesome and typically refuses it to use it in the presence of others, let alone show people.

Skills: With little actual fighting skill his method of offensive, in the rare chance that he does fight, is almost instinctual and animalistic rather then finesse or skill, especially when enraged. Despite having very little actual combat experience, his enraged state seems to fuel an instinctual and destructive desire that while still reflects his lack of technique or battle prowess is still very dangerous to be against, as if he was a beast.

His cynical nature can keep him calm in dire situations to some extent, an ironic tolerance for extremes yet susceptible to annoyances and frustrations.

He has been able to fight off his beastly rage quiet well in everyday life, aside from the one incident of course, and his methods to deal with management, mostly from his stress ball, can keep him calm.

While he avoids social interaction, he can be surprisingly tolerant of others so long as they don't annoy or antagonize him.

Name: Dracomany
Type: Specialization
Description: 'Dracomancy' is a sort of grouping of dragon related magical abilities, where one can gain qualities of a dragon through spells, invoke draconic related spells or instances, and other related features. Due to its wide variety it is difficult to advance. Many spells fall under multiple different categories making it difficult to truly classify.

You cannot burn a dragon: No amount of heat alone can damage William. Granted a fireball with explosive force can still damage him, in terms of the raw force that would follow the intense heat, but the heat itself wouldn't burn him. Even the most extreme of temperatures such as molten rock or high-end energy wouldn't directly effect him in this matter.

A dragon's temper: This has mixed results for William. When enraged, he will enter a 'berserk' like state; which results in him loosing focus on pain and most if not all senses of danger or otherwise hindrance to his ability, increased adrenaline, and a desire for destruction and blood lust. This temper however, seems to directly effect Will's sanity. While he has some control over it, it isn't hard to push him into a tantrum. In blind rage this can easily lead him to be hostile towards both friends and foe alike, additionally, because he looses all his sense of pain or danger, he becomes essentially unaware of whatever damage his body has taken. While this can cause him to 'last a bit longer', in dangerous situations this can easily become a fatal flaw for Will.

Reptilian senses: He can smell with his tongue, quiet remarkably well in fact. Additionally, his eyes often give off an illumination that is often described as the flames of dim candles, allowing effective 'night vision.'

Resilience of scales: With the aspects of a dragon, he is stronger and faster in his base form then the average human, though not by much, he is certainly well fit despite having a skinny build. He also has an elongated lifespan, likely an indefinite one.

Cold-Blooded: One of the bigger downsides of this magic is that he becomes very susceptible to the cold. Even at room temperature Will is 'chilly' since his body naturally cannot produce body heat, anything below 60 F is potentially fatal. This also makes him extremely vulnerable to cold/ice based attacks in combat.

Roar of the Fire Scourge: Will produces either a form of shout or roar, which will in response, creates a 5 m AoE of force and air pressure that can launch back foes and objects with great force.

Seething Song: He can breath a jet of flames from his mouth with a range of 9 meters, alternatively he can shoot a projectile fireball with the explosive force a grenade, or a shorter range spread of fire from his mouth.

Gift of the Sky Tyrant: He can sprout a pair of bat-like wings along his back for flight.

Armor of the Scalelord: He can grow a set of plate-like scales along his body, giving him armor as durable as steel.

Inventory: He has a stress ball in his pocket that he will take out and squeeze when ever he gets annoyed or frustrated.

@Menhir Could you dumb that down for me? So basically not at the academy yet?

Glad someone notices her. I have that as well. She's one of my go to character's when I join RPs.

@dragonmancerIt would be great if you could fix the coding of the text. I know its a hassle to do, but everyone's done it upon my request. Thanks, man.

Not much to say about his personality and history. As for his abilities, they're too strong. He seems too proficient with it despite being traumatized by the accident that happened in his school. Its weird that he refuses to talk about it but might probably be freely practicing his magic given how good he is with it.

Well, a sudden spike in the smell would be detectable to Mikhail...

@KOgaming, wow, I did not expect that from Valechka.

Alright so I removed some spells that he'll after learn later on among other things due to inexperience, if there is anything else that should be cut let me know. I tweaked around some information as well, however I'm confused on what you mean by coding the text, how exactly would you wish me to format it? I'm not exactly too 'savy' with the coding on this site.

@dragonmancer I'll take a look at it. And as for the coding, uhm, similar to what was presented in the opening post?

There's a Formatting Cheatsheet at the bottom of the page if you're still not used to it.

Let me know if his ability is okay, as well as anything else you would like me to change if there is anything.

@BassDropp Everything is good to go. Only comment on his ability is that the range is too large for an ability that is categorized as Manipulation. Range of how far magical energy can be emitted from your body would be Liberation. There are probably loopholes around this issue, but yeah, the range should be significantly lessened.

Edited his ability so it's a 5 meter range of control, effectively halving the distance. Does that sound reasonable?

@BassDropp Yeah, that's fine. Actually, his ability is more of Liberation now that I think about it. Manipulation would entail for detailed or complex forms of control of magic. Since its just basic constructs, Liberation would be fine. If you're okay with those edits, you're accepted. Feel free to post in the IC and Character Thread.

@BassDropp No problem, man. We're still waiting on three people, I think.

If you've got some time on you, read up on the IC. Most of the content is gold; funny shit. Quite a good read if I do say so myself.

@Masaki Haruna I think you missed it, but the language barrier between everyone has disappeared. And I think you missed the part regarding Jasper and his smoke doves.

More like I prodded it with a stick and retreated when it hissed back at me. I think I did a solid job. Nerves kept it from being anything spectacular. Overall I'd rate it a 7 or 8/10.

Well it'd be around 150-1 Motoichiba, Fuji, in the Shizuoka prefecture.

@Letter Bee
But wouldn't anything that would cause a sudden spike also be pretty noticeable?
