[Zero Hex]

Name: Ezekiel Williams
Age: 18
Gender: Male

Appearance:

Hider

Standing at 6 feet 2 and weighing around 200+ pounds or so, Zeke’s obviously athletic and his body already shows the wear and tear of his tough life thanks to a few scars and his rough, hardened fists and shins. Though his tricked out karate gi quite suits his size and demeanour, he obviously doesn’t walk around in it all the time. He will, however, take most any excuse he can to do so. When it comes to casual clothes, he typically dons dark green cargo pants, a grey wifebeater and a white zip-up hoodie.

Personality:
Zeke is something of an odd one. Despite looking like more or less like a common punk or gangster of some sort he is typically calm, easy going and fairly approachable, a cool-headed man who walks through life with such natural confidence that blatant forcefulness seems unnecessary to him. Born to a not exactly traditional environment and having gone through a hectic upbringing, he takes the strangest occurrences in stride with great ease and is all for experiencing anything and everything life has to offer. On the other hand, his fierce looks aren’t just for show, and blatant forcefulness is very much a part of who he is.

A firm believer in self reliance and extremely driven to excel and achieve great things in life, Ezekiel Williams holds himself to very high standards and is more than a bit arrogant as a result. He's outspoken, stubborn, honest to a fault and feels every man should stay fit and know how to fight. He will also absolutely not take crap from anyone if he feels it's unjustified or let people get in the way of his goals and dreams. What’s worse, he feels this is the proper way to climb up in life (or die trying) and doesn’t take too kindly to cowards, doormats and the like, who he treats with open contempt.

Backstory:
Growing up travelling from one bad part of Florida to another as the son of a hard-nosed mechanic and a tough as nails teacher for youth detention centers has most certainly marked Ezekiel Williams for life. Though not as uneducated as one might assume thanks to the efforts of his mom, Zeke has been immersed in a chaotic, very physical culture for as long as he can remember. Living around the streets, struggling to make ends meet, fighting to protect himself and his rights and pushing ever on were part and parcel of his upbringing. That he turned out something of a punk was absolutely no surprise to anyone involved.

To be fair, Zeke always wanted to make something of himself, what he wasn’t quite sure admittedly, and never allowed himself to be forced into violent gangs and petty crime, but a straight shooter he was not. Hoping to curb his rebellious nature with some discipline, Ezekiel’s parents decided to sign him up to a karate school at age 10. They chose the dojo because it was cheap and it advertised working with troubled youth, wholly expecting it all to be little more than an engaging workout for their son. Had they looked deeper they would've realized the place had a reputation for producing fearsome, hardened fighters.

By the time Mr. and Mrs. Williams realized their mistake, when the bruises and skinned limbs started to become much too common for their liking, Zeke would’ve dropped his studies and gone off to find a job just to keep training. His parents’ plan had worked a little too well and, under the harsh discipline of sensei Reginald Quinlan, Ezekiel Williams found his purpose in life as a flourishing martial artist. His growth was nothing short of amazing, and soon he seemed well above petty street fights. Even former rivals came to recognize that he was meant for greater things and expected him to leave a mark in combat sports.

And then, one day, he vanished. Word around the street was that his illegal fights as a trained and dangerous martial artist had finally caught up with him, and he had been sent to a specialized correctional facility. In truth, Zeke’s channeller abilities were finally detected, but there was just one problem: There was no way him or his family would buy into or agree to the whole alternate society spiel. Deeming it too dangerous for him to go around unknowingly tapping into his powers, The Institute instead presented the situation as attempting to reform a case of juvenile delinquency before the police got involved.

It’s not as though Zeke’s happy about the arrangement, but in the grand scheme of things it doesn’t mean a lot to him. He’ll continue to go down his chosen path and crap, this whole thing might even make for a hell of an adventure.

Equipment:
Nothing of combat use or that bears mentioning. Clothes, school supplies, a cellphone, you know, the usual.

Abilities:
-Jissenkai Karate: An american freestyle school of karate developed by Sensei Quinlan and his close friends and associates, all of them lifelong martial artists with a wide variety of backgrounds. Jissenkai stands for "Real Combat Society" and the style can very much be called mixed martial arts, with a strong basis in practical application of karate techniques and using the framework of japanese budo as a way to guide both physical and personal growth. Zeke has trained ceaselessly in this for eight years now, and combined with his experience in street brawls this makes him an extremely proficient fighter.

Ezekiel’s style is grounded on simple but effective techniques and an excellent understanding of defense, with a strong grasp on less quantifiable factors like distance, timing and anticipation, over a flashy, complicated arsenal. Evasion, control of position and angles of attack, laying traps and exploiting openings with explosive bursts of precise offense, his karate is very much about grasping the intangibles of fighting and mixing up a minimalistic game so that each of his tools play off of eachother. For real life parallels, look primarily into former UFC champion Lyoto Machida and a bit of kickboxing and muay thai champion Giorgio Petrosyan.

-Tameshiwari: Breaking bricks, boards and the like. It’s not a particularly useful skill for learning to fight more often than not, better to learn to understand the flow of an engagement via sparring and competition, but it makes for a pretty okay party trick and who knows, there might be times where you might want or even need to break an unresisting object in the most efficient way using nothing but your body.

-Parkour and shooting hoops: Zeke is generally athletic and learned to throw hoops with other kids. Before he really settled into fighting, he also learned that sometimes that wasn’t the best idea and taught himself a bit of parkour to escape bad situations.

Channeller category: Augmenter
Description of power:
Zeke is a late bloomer with a comparatively weak connection to his channeler powers, which manifest entirely through his dedication to the martial arts. Rather than react to a lone specific emotion, Zeke has developed his abilities through the chaotic mixture brought about by intense training and fighting. It’s that combination of pain and fatigue both physical and mental, trumped by the accompanying sense of achievement and self improvement, that powers him. On the same line, he doesn’t have specific "moves", such a thing would go against his style, and instead his abilities manifest as heightened versions of existing concepts in Karate.

Names/descriptions of moves:
-Maai: Translating simply as "interval", maai is actually a complex concept in japanese martial arts for the space between two opponents and the position from where an attack can be landed. Encompassing the distance between adversaries, how fast it can be covered, the angles involved and the rhythm of attack, it’s a dual relationship where each fighter’s methods and skills influence each other's maai constantly. Understanding and learning to control maai is perhaps the single most important defensive skill anyone can develop, a way to control engagements and live up to the old adage of "hit without getting hit".

In channeler terms, Zeke reads the ebb and flow of energies of his opponents to a very precise, minute level and this gives him an almost instinctive understanding of an enemy’s attacks and intentions. Though nowhere near as fast as speed-focused channelers, he can ruthlessly exploit this ability to seem far, far faster than he is in both defense and offense thanks to his martial arts skills. Of course, this isn’t infallible. After all, rarely does a karateka have to face, say, someone throwing living bombs at them, and the fluid nature of maai means a practitioner has to adapt his reading of it to every new nuance in an opponent.

-Ichigeki: Ichigeki means "a single blow", and is a somewhat nicer way of conveying the old concept of Ikken Hissatsu, or "one blow, certain death". Derived from swordsmanship, where the idea is rather more feasible, it is not meant to be taken quite literally but it’s rather both the spirit/state of mind a karateka should partake in and perhaps something of an ideal to strive towards. Every attack should be executed with full intent to settle a fight with it, so as to ensure things do not escalate and to preserve one’s integrity, and every enemy attack should be treated as deadly which it may well be in a self defense scenario.

In Zeke's case, he takes Ichigeki to heart. Though not the strongest in pure muscle, size and strength are just a part of it all. Relaxed and proper technique to maximize power generation, timing and precision to generate the best connections (and yes, this ties into maai), committing to the blow even at the expense of a followup, these are essential striking factors. Though his methods more or less preclude the use of rapid combinations of blows, Zeke is an explosive, decisive attacker whose techniques are not only precise but much faster and stronger than his pure running speed or lifting capacity would imply and cannot simply be brushed aside.

In channeler terms, Ichigeki would be focusing oneself fully to every technique to maximize its fight-finishing potential, putting as much energy into a single attack and delivering to the weakest point possible. For an example of maai and ichigeki in action, check this clip out. The first karateka reads the maai where both of his opponents will need to step in to attack and counters in a devastating manner when they do. The second one reads the maai so effectively he can not only avoid sword strokes but block the attacking motions at their weakest, with enough skill that he could have used a fight-ending followup had he wanted to. Both of the actors are real life 7th dan karateka and the movie, Kuro Obi, is centered around depicting traditional karate.

-Hojo Undo: Translated as "supplementary exercises", the methods may vary but it’s simply the kind of physical conditioning that every single martial artist worth his salt engages in. Strength, stamina, toughness, coordination, speed, flexibility, fighting is an extremely demanding activity. Zeke’s physical augmenter powers aren’t up to par with the more superhuman, dedicated abilities of his classmates, but he is certainly quite an athletic specimen for a human of 18 years of age and has room to grow. Of them all, it’s likely his ability to take a punch that’s the most developed, making his unarmed melee focus less of a suicidal proposition.

Character theme song: Def Jam: Fight for NY was an amazing fighting game and you should check it out, especially if you like early 2000s rap culture.

Meilin Hua

Meilin Hua

• Name: 美琳 花
• Age: 18
• Gender: Female

Personality:

Calm, attentive and kind, Meilin is a rather introvert woman, being raised in a monastery means that she was often training, meditating or reading. But to those who are able to befriend her and know her better, she can be very caring and affectionate, even passing a motherly aura.
It takes a lot to get her angry, needing only a few minutes to calm herself down. She usually prefers to solve her problems by talking rather than by violence. Ironically enough, Meilin loves martial arts and enjoys a good sparring session.
She absolutely hates arrogant and obnoxious types, but would never start a conflict about it, choosing often to simply walk away.

Meilin is somewhat shy regarding romantic relationships, but if someone catches her eye, she will actually try to show her interest, albeit in more discreet and indirect ways. The most effective way to earn her attention is by being kind, attentive and above everything else, delicate. She dislikes those who try to reach her in a brute, unrefined manner. She loves to read, have interesting conversations, listening to music, playing her flute and meditating.

Backstory:

Meilin was born into a martial arts temple, her parents being monks themselves, she learned martial arts since she was a child.
The fact that she was only a small girl irritated some more traditional practitioners, but even as a child, her talent was undeniable, having a strong body and a deep passion not for the power that the martial arts offered, but the wisdom and teachings that came with it, she had everything to master even the more complicated forms.
As the time passed, the entire temple was forced to acknowledge that Meilin was special. With that, the others started to treat her not as a child, but as a martial artist, even asking for advices and for her to teach them.
Her attentive and calm behavior were perfect for teaching, thing which she actually enjoyed doing, usually helping those who asked her with private lessons about martial arts and tips on how to use their body more effectively, while improving herself.

As she continued studying and practicing martial arts, she stumbled upon some very interesting styles, some regarded as myths or only tales, others actual styles forgotten by the time but all of them had one thing in common: instead of using swords, staffs or other weapons, they used the flute. A simple musical instrument, but in the hands of those skilled enough, became a deadly weapon, capable of stopping even blades.

One day, when Meilin was practicing tai chi with the flute, she had an urge to play it. She didn't knew from where that came, but she simply took it and started playing while continuing to practice. With slow and precise movements, she took the flute to her mouth. Her fingers moved almost instinctively, together with her body. The melody that came out from that simple flute as she meditated drew the attention of the oldest monks in the temple, as the beautiful music echoed through the halls. She had never played flute before, neither that tune was a tune that a musician could play, it was a tune that reflected her experience and deep passion for martial arts.
The elders immediately sent her to a secluded part of the temple in the middle of the mountains where the oldest and wisest monks would test her, and if she had the will to learn and accept their teachings, they would teach her the ways of the Song of the Shifting Flowers, an ancient form of martial art using the flute as its weapon.

The test wasn't about her physical, but instead, they were testing her resolve, her mind and her passion for the martial arts. After completing the test, she was deemed able to learn about the secret art. Her second test to determine if she was worthy of learning the Song of the Shifting Flowers was going inside the mountain in a jade mine and hitting the stone with enough strength and on the right places to break a perfect piece of jade, without a single crack. Days passed as she hit the stone wall with her bare fists in the most varied ways, staining the wall with her own blood. Not knowing what to do, she laid down on the ground, wounded, tired and almost giving up. That was when she saw a single stalactite, made entirely of rough jade. It was too high for her to reach, and if she tried to break it with a stone, it would shatter the stone and break its core. Looking around, searching for an answer, she saw a couple of holes in the other corner of the wall. These holes, when she did an open palm strike produced sounds that echoed through the entire cave. She noted that for each time she hit a different hole, it produced a different note, shaking the stalactite a little bit.
It was only an idea, but she resolved to try anyways, to hit the holes mimicking the same song she played in the flute before. As she rhythmically played the notes, striking the wall with precision and just enough power to produce the clean sound, the stalactite started to vibrate more and more. When it was almost falling down, she extended her hand, catching it in mid air. When she gave the stone to one of the elder monks, it immediately threw it on the ground. Meilin gasped in terror as the stone hit the ground, shattering to pieces only to show its core which was almost a perfect cylinder made completely of jade. From that cylinder, the monks made a flute for her as a symbol of her being able to learn the art.

It was on that temple that Meilin discovered her powers. Almost immediately, a member of the Institute came to invite her to a special place where she would learn to better control her powers, but after a brief talk with her and the elders monks, they agreed in letting her complete her training there. After completing it, it was time for her to go to the institute, where she quickly learned on how to wield her power. Now with 18 years, Meilin decided to continue on the institute. She believed that it was her responsibility to pass her knowledge to those who needed it, and as such, she enrolled on the institute once more for a year before she could effectively teach there.

Equipment:

Jade Flute

Abilities:

Being an expert in many martial arts, she learned how to use her body effectively. Without making unnecessary movements, she is able to save her energy, being able to stay in combat for a good while before getting tired.
Her intensive training gives her an impressive control over her own muscles, making her able to perform acrobatics that would be difficult to untrained people.
She an unexpectedly good cook.

Names/descriptions of moves:

• Channeller category: Alternative
• Description of power: Sound Manipulation
• Names/descriptions of moves:
• Falling Petals: Meilin can produce a very high frequency note from her flute. Those within hearing range will feel dizzy, nauseated and vertigo. Meilin can focus this ability on a single user, which will cause him to also feel a sharp, disorientating pain or simply let everyone who hears it in a range of 15m feel the normal effects. Its important to note that only those who hear the actual note will feel the effects. This ability is not a full song like the Song of the Shifting Flowers, but a single note produced from her flute. If someone hears it consecutive times, it'll strengthen it's effect on their body and take longer to recover. If one stops hearing the sound after hearing one or more times, he will still feel the effects from the previous times he hear it, but his body will start gradually recovering from it.
• Fang of the Jade Dragon: Using the wind passing through her flute to resonate, she can effectively wield her flute as a sword, using the sound waves produced when she moves her flute quickly to either cut or stab.
• Open Hand Strike: With a powerful open hand strike, Meilin sends a low frequency wave of sound, damaging the internal organs of the target.
• Heartbeat of the Jade Dragon: Using her entire body's mass and strength, she gives a powerful stomp on the ground together with an open hand strike, creating a shockwave around her, knocking those nearby away and inflicting impact damage.
• Song of the Shifting Flowers: Using her flute, she plays a tune which creates a pressurized current of air able to inflict cuts on the target. The cuts are deep enough to cut muscles, but not deep enough to hit internal organs. Meilin has complete control over the area that the sound can affect and the intensity of the wounds inflicted. This ability is a full song, and as such will impede Meilin to use her hands for the duration of the song. It has a radius of 10m and it can be blocked if one wears armor or is behind an obstacle strong enough to resist the cuts. The cuts are not instantaneous, albeit they are ridiculously fast to a normal human to dodge, those with enhanced hearing can predict where the cuts will strike and those with enhanced speed can dodge it, although if Meilin focuses the ability in one target, it will be rather hard to evade every single one of them.

Jun-Sang Kim

Name: Jun-Sang Kim

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Personality: Jun-Sang is the very definition of a hard worker, which was due in part due to his Korean heritage. Jun-Sang is almost too hard of a worker, eschewing other things like sports, games and other such things. This also makes him not the friendliest person to be around; while he isn't opposed to social interaction, he doesn't have much in common with others, other than of course fellow studyholics. Jun-Sang is smart, and knows he's smart, and sometimes, that comes off as condescending, or giving an air of superiority. This isn't his intention, but merely a side effect of the way he perceives himself and others. He does try to be generally kind and helpful to others, but the way he composes himself while he does so may put some others off.

Backstory: The work ethic in South Korea is tough, and Jun-Sang experienced that firsthand. His parents constantly pushed him to do well in school, and so he didn't really have much time for leisure activities. Instead, he studied, and studied, and studied. Jun-Sang didn't really mind, though. Unlike his peers, Jun-Sang actually enjoyed studying. He enjoyed learning new things and applying what he learned in his everyday life. And so he went through his early life, not having that many friends but not really caring about it, either.

Jun-Sang's abilities manifested when he was 14. His parents were thrilled that their son had this ability within him. At first, Jun-Sang disagreed with their parents' outlook. This was just something that took time away from studying. But his parents managed to convince him by stating that this was just something new to study. When he thought of it that way, Jun-Sang was at least willing to give it a try.

This is Jun-Sang's third year at the Institute, and although he doesn't have that many friends, he is popular with fellow academics, and lots of younger students look up to him as a tutor. He's on good terms with many of the teachers as well.

Appearance: "No, no, you add the powers, you don't multiply them."

Equipment: Jun-Sang carries various small items on him at all times; his current collection consists of one six-sided die, one 20-sided die, three large ball bearings, and two small polished stones. As well as being fidget toys, Jun-Sang uses them in conjunction with his powers.

Abilities: Jun-Sang is incredibly smart, and has thorough knowledge of math, chemistry, physics, and electrical circuits. He is also an excellent teacher, being able to explain concepts in ways that others can easily understand.

Channeller category: Alternative

Description of power: Jun-Sang can alter the density of objects, increasing or decreasing the mass of an object without affecting the volume. Having been at the institute for the three years, this ability has an effective range of about 5 metres, meaning that he can affect the density of an object mid-flight. However, this requires Jun-Sang to focus on the target object for a moment, which causes a short delay between intent and activation, and breaking that focus will detriment his ability to affect the target object. In his current state, he can't decrease the density of an object while increasing the density of another object. The volume of the target object and the amount he can change the density by are inversely proportional to each other; the larger the object, the less he can affect its density. Jun-Sang can choose to affect only part of an object. In this case, the volume of the part is factored into how much he can affect it.

Names/descriptions of moves: Impact Point: Jun-Sang increases the density of a particular point on his body, making it so that anything or anyone that hits it feel like they just hit a brick wall.

Catch.: Jun-Sang throws an object, increasing the density of it as it leaves his hand. This results in the object hitting with a lot more force than expected.

Rain of Pain: Jun-Sang throws a bunch of objects in a high arc, again increasing the density of the objects as they leave his hand. These objects then fall to the ground, pummeling anyone unlucky enough to get caught underneath them.

Lighten Up: Jun-Sang decreases the density of an incoming object, reducing the force of the impact.

[FUTURE MOVES]

Fortress: Jun-Sang increases the density of his entire body, becoming impervious to physical damage, and enabling him to hit like a truck.

Next Level Jesus: Jun-Sang decreases the density of his entire body to the point where he can float on water, or become lighter than air. With a little bit of manipulation, Jun-Sang can walk on water and even fly.

Ryousei Aoyama

Name: Ryousei Aoyama

Age: 15

Gender: Male

Personality: The first thing that must be said Ryousei is that he likes girls. A lot. Like... A LOT.

With that out of the way...

Ryousei is brash, but friendly. Always wanting to get a laugh or at least a smile out of people, he makes a lot of jokes, and is overly friendly. He doesn't have a verbal filter, which may cause some people to avoid him, but he always means the best. Ryousei has a tendency to butt into other people's business, especially if those people look like they need help. Ryousei isn't particularly serious about anything, with one exception: kendo. Ryousei is proud of his swordsmanship, so insulting that is probably one of the few ways to get on his bad side.

Backstory: Ryousei is the son of a regionally famous kendouka, and from an early age he's been interested in kendo. With an instructor right in his household, Ryousei began training early on in his childhood, honing his kendo skills. As he grew older, he began to study other forms of swordsmanship. He knew that as great kendo was, it wasn't everything, so he studied other forms of swordsmanship. His father didn't exactly approve of this, so Ryousei had to study these other forms in secret. During this time period, other interests began to take hold. Ryousei is a huge fan of video games and electronic music.

Ryousei's ability manifesting was a dream come true, though his father didn't think so. His mother came through for him then, stating that Ryousei was a grown boy, and this was a great opportunity for him to take his natural talent to the next level. His father, although still not a hundred percent on board, relented, and Ryousei was whisked off to the institute.

Appearance: "Hey, hey, watch this move!"

Equipment: A shinai.

Abilities: Ryousei excels at kendo, and has been studying other forms of swordsmanship. Although he is not as good at those other forms of swordplay, he is competent enough to put what he's learned into practice.

Channeller category: Architect

Description of power: Ryousei can manifest blades of all types. Though he would prefer to manifest swords, he is also capable of manifesting other blades, such as daggers and spears. He can summon one large blade or two small blades at a time.

Names/descriptions of moves: Yuurei: A katana.

Terremoto: A large, wide broadsword.

Pergélisol: A rapier.

[FUTURE MOVES]

Höllenfeuer: A flamberge.

Lux and Tenebra: A pair of daggers.

Thýella: A two-handed spear.

Rumi Kataoka

Name: Rumi Kataoka

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Personality: Rumi is incredibly laid back; it is incredibly hard to get her worked up. She takes life at her own page, not really caring about what other people think of her and not worrying about anything, big or small. Rumi is also absent-minded, often lost in her own thoughts and frequently actually getting lost. Sometimes, Rumi can get so lost in her own thoughts that getting her attention would take about as much effort as waking a heavy sleeper. Her absent-minded, laid back nature makes her hard to hate. Rumi is also creative, and usually spends her free time sketching. Good luck getting her attention if she's focussed on her work.

Backstory: Rumi's life was incredibly average, and nothing really to write about. She was born to average parents, grew up in an average household with average siblings. She went to an average school and had average friends. She's had one average boyfriend and they broke up after an average amount of time. So, yeah, her life was a riot.

Rumi's power didn't manifest until she was 17, and it took a while for anyone to realize what her power did. As soon as someone figured out the nature of her power, her family was pestered endlessly about having her enrolled in the Institute. Her power was, after all, useless without other people with powers. Her parents deferred the decision to her. She accepted, because hey, what's the worst that could happen?

Appearance: "...Huh? Sorry, didja say somethin'?"

Equipment: Her sketchbook.

Abilities: Rumi is quite skilled at drawing, stemming from her lifetime of sketching.

Channeller category: Alternative

Description of power: By maintaining physical contact with another person with a power, she can store that person's energy and amplify it. As long as she and her target remain contacted, the target's energy output becomes more than its normal level. This generally manifested as an increase in an ability's raw power, and does not affect the target's competence in manipulating their energy. For example, she can make a firecaster's flames hotter and brighter, but she cannot make that firecaster control said fire better.

Names/descriptions of moves: Amplification: Amplifies the energy output to a target. Currently running at 120%.

Feedback: By breaking the contact prematurely, before the target stops channeling energy to her, Rumi can output the surplus energy inside her, allowing her to use that target's powers until they are depleted. Currently running at 20%. This process can be extremely painful for Rumi, depending on the type of energy inside her.

At a young age Roy had many things taken away from him, he was once sweet and innocent but at an early age he was thrown into reality, forced to grow up fast in order to survive in life. His father was a wave caster, known for his ability to control gravity. His mother was a architect that was known for her ability with a sword. With great fame comes people who wants to destroy it. Both his parents were murdered for bounty, forcing Roy to began living with his grandfather at his dojo where he would learn swordsmanship like his mother did. Unlike other kids, Roy spent most of his time on training and studying rather then playing with other kids his age. Life with his grandpa straight forward and peaceful for. He was pretty strict and they didn't get along much at first but things ended up straightening out.

As time passed and Roy got bigger and stronger his grandfather grew weaker until he fell ill and was bed ridden. Roy spent less time training and more time with his grandfather until the day he passed on. Roy was thrown into deep sorrow as he watched his Grandfather passed on with his own eyes. In this moment he had awoken his ability. his great desire for control and power awakened this ability. The same month the institute came looking for him, explaining that they could help him use his power effectively, Roy accepted the offer. He began the long and hard path of revenge, striving from the path his parents lived.

My Hider

Name: Ronald "Roav" Avery

Age: 18

Gender: male

Personality: Ronald prides himself on being as sneaky, attentive, and cunning as possible. And, of course, he is, thinking up plans on ths fly, which usually involves complexly conning someone or just outright tricking them. He's not a prankster, though, seeing petty tricks that benefit no one as beneath him. Beyond that, he's very honorable- a "steal from the rich and give to the poor" kinda guy, though replace rich with, though his interpretation on this varies. Somedays he'll steal from the evil, no matter how much money they have. So long as someone who deserves it benefits, at the end of the day it doesn't matter who he cons. Despite his overly calm nature, he tends to break under intense pressure, falling to pieces if there's a battle he can't- or thinks he can't- plan his way out of.

Backstory: Ronald was a frail, and sickly when he was young, bedridden for days at a time because he was almost unable to move without barfing- not that it mattered because he barely had the energy to move. Needless to say, he was a miserable kid. To cheer him up, his father learned some sleight of hand tricks, ranging from pulling a rabbit from his hat to making a deck of cards disappear. Ronald was completely enamored with these tricks, and his mood did a complete 180°. Not long after, he miraculously started to get better and, once he did, learned the tricks from his father, as well as some other cheap tricks he learned online. But what was a boy to do with such useless knowledge? Con the rich and corrupted by posing as a psychic selling disturbingly accurate fortunes, gleamed by researching his current victim at the time as extensively as possible and hoping his victim doesn't figure out you can just google or ask around town and make an educated guess on what'll happen to them next.

Sell cheap trinkets that supposedly bring good health and a number of other things.

Host private magic shows, then have some friends steal wallets and whatever else and replacing them once they're empty.

And then sending whatever money he got to charities.

It wasn't until a year ago that his channeler powers kicked in, and he got invited to the institute, leaving his old conman life behind and hoping to start a new one.

Appearance: 5'8 half-asian, half-caucasian male with a skinny build. Ronald has black hair, brown eyes, a round face with a sturdy chin, and slightly pointed nose. He wears a black suit jacket over a red silk shirt, and black slacks. The jacket always has the middle button buttoned. On his head he wears a short magician tophat. A cloth sunflower is pinned to the left breast of his jacket, while a metal sunflower is pinned to his hat. His shoes, black loafers, also have sunflowers on them, as do his jacket cuffs.

Equipment: Handkerchiefs hidden up his sleeve, a smart-phone, a deck of tarot cards in his pocket, and a backpack filed with books, several packs of gum, pens and pencils, and also various school notes are his normal equipment. For school events and fights he knows he's going to, he ditches the backpack and takes a butterfly knife, if allowed.

Abilities: Ronald is extremely attentive, picking up many more details than a normal person. He's not particularly athletic, but makes up for it with his constantly thinking brain, which thinks up plans for him on the fly. Ronald is also extremely talented at sleight of hand tricks, similarly to Joseph Joestar. Finally, he possesses quick reflexes, almost akin to a martial arts master.

Channeller category: Alternative

Description of power: Ronald manifests his willpower and psyche as a figure he calls a "stand." As of right now, his stand can't do much of anything, except react to threats as Ronald notices them, and sometimes even beford he notices him, and act for Ronald. Later on, Ronald's stand (dubbed Wayward Son) should be able to manifest two guns, which draw in rocks and dust with a vacuum and shoot the compressed material out like bullets.

Names/descriptions of moves:

•Wayward Son: Ronald calling upon his stand. As it can't do much, he only has one other move at this point.

•Carry On: Ronald using Wayward Son to directly attack his opponent with its fists and feet, while Ronald goes in to stab them.

•Dust Shot: Once Wayward Son manifests his guns, he uses their vacuum to pull up dust and small rocks to form bullets.

•Air Shot: Pulling large amounts of air, Wayward Son fires out several bursts of air which, while not lethal, could still break a few bones.

Character theme song: Carry On Wayward Son

Other: Wayward Son is a blue-ish humanoid around Ronald's height, wearing a red and dark blue plaid shirt, a straw hat (with a sunflower on it, of course), and burlap pants.
