Equipment:
Fulcrum: A necklace purchased from at a shady establishment for enchanted, or anamolous, items, Fulcrum has the passive ability to absorb nearby emotions and essence. With minimal skill and individual can draw forth these things from it and use them for their own purposes. Fulcrum can be used in a more active fashion to actually sap emotions from people consciously, but this process is incredibly gradual and only works through pulling at the essence of those nearby. The object cannot work on anyone thirty meters from its location. Prolonged exposure its effects can cause mood swings, depression, apathy, and emotional exhaustion.
*Timore can release the emotions/essence within Fulcrum and manipulate them with Metentis. Fulcrum currently has no essence within it, but plenty of emotions.
Metentis(Harvester): The instrument given to him by the Academy a few years prior to his moving to his apartment near its location. This instrument is always kept spiralled around his wrist and it has several essential methods of use. Timore can use it as a whip, allowing it to become a dangerous implement that he can channel his essence through so as to instigate a severing effect on any essence it comes into contact with. When it is kept around his wrist, Timore can channel his essence through it with incredible precision to instigate different notes, which can influence the emotions of others. In this state it is capable of invoking only two major emotions in those it effects, and Timore will be incapable of deciding who its notes are directed at. The two emotions are fear and love.
The third use is the traditional method that the intrument can be utilized, which is by unwinding it from his wrist, straightening it out, and allowing it to temporarily become rigid. In this state it acts much like a mixture of a flute and a saxophone, though the music it produces is much more akin to a flute. In this state Metentis is in what is nearly its optimal form and thus it can manipulate the emotions of the listener(s) to varying extents depending on the skill of the user. Metentis' final form is instigated by feeding it emotional energy, and raw essence, allowing it to become considerably larger in both thickness and length, and act as an actual snake does. In this state the instrument's mentality becomes quite apparent and it can, to some measure, act on its lonesome.
In terms of Metentis' personality, the instrument is a ravenous deceiver, considering people to be as a winery is to wine, worth something only for the emotions they produce. Its creators marveled at how coherent the serpent's mind and thoughts appear to be, but in actuality there is quite a bit of chaos that goes on in the instrument's twisted little mind. However, many of the personalities held within it have agreed to cooperate with the one who refers to itself as Metentis, as this particular being –who was once a demon-- seeks almost solely to feed them as a whole. Yet, secretly, Metentis wishes to escape the instrument's form and regain his own body, something that has so far been a slow and grueling process. In terms of communication, Metentis is capable of speaking with Timore telepathically and verbally through the mouth of the flute. Metentis has had several players over the years, but all of them have, thus far, succumbed to various ailments, be they mental or otherwise. However, the instrument thinks that it's current wielder, Timore, holds much promise....
*Metentis can attempt to influence emotions, but it takes time (preps) for the effect to actually work properly. He must either charge essence in the flute to create an effect that will immediately become useful, or he has to continuously play the flute.
Praecisio: The concealed form of his not so inconspicuous weapon, this ring is in actuality an enchanted weapon, which has shifted its shape to its master's will. It is actually a rather dangerous curved sword, which feeds on the blood of those it cuts. While the blade is plainly demonic in nature, it has no aura to speak of unless it has recently been fed. When it has been fed the blade will cause others near it to feel uneasy. Praecisio sucks out blood or essence when it cuts something. On living things it leaves behind a burning sensation on the wound, which fades over the space of a minute.
Physical and Mental Capabilities
Athletic Physique: While he does in fact enjoy playing his instrument, Timore makes it a point to stay in shape and thus goes to the Gym tri-weekly as well as practicing mixed martial arts at a nearby establishment. Still, he is no Olympic athlete, but he does possess a considerable amount of stamina and an above average level of physical strength and speed.
Genius Flutist: Having studied, and played, the flute since he was young, Timore has a passion, and a natural talent, for it. Thus he has gained quite the level of skill throughout his years, allowing him to now play somewhere between a skilled musician and a professional.
Sweet Talker: In short, Timore is an exceptionally charming young man and is very good at getting people to think that what he wants them to do, was their own idea (and furthermore that it is a good idea). He is well acquainted with the opposite sex and how they think and happens to be a very intense hopeless romantic.
Physiological Knowledge: Having grown up with a doctor for a father, Timore was often asked questions and taught about human biology. Thus, over the years, he has gained a considerable amount of knowledge in said field both through his father, and through his own research in more recent years.
Magical Skills:
Essence Flow and Differentiation: While no mage, Timore does have some magical talent, allowing him to subtly manipulate the flow of essence both inside his own body, and in his direct vicinity. While he is not capable of too many magical feats, he can amplify his own physical attributes through manipulating the flow of his internal essence, as well as being able to cause some basic phenomena in his direct vicinity. Specifically Timore is able to create pulses or generate a push or pull utilizing his own essence. Timore, through his unique synesthesia, and ability to manipulate the flow of essence, is capable of differentiating between different types of essence. This allows him to recognize the use of different forms of magic within a half a mile or so, but only if it is fairly strong. The closer it is to him, the easier it is for him to sense. Additionally, he can typically tell someone's race as well. He could learn how to read people's emotions through this ability with time.
Magical Synesthesia: Born with this, Timore has lived his life learning to cope with this strange trait. To specify what exactly it does, Timore's synesthesia allows him to not only see essence in colors around him and other people, but it also allows him to hear emotions in people's voices. Timore's sight is much more potent than his hearing, likely due to his body's attempt to cope with the bustling environment of society. Still, because of this, Timore prefers to stay away from places with massive crowds.
*Essence Manipulation: Timore can weave essence into simple constructs such as barriers, blades or other fairly simple implements. He can charge essence with emotions imparting different effects, which he can then weaponize. All weaponized/emotion charged essence requires at least 1 prep to infuse before it can be utilized. The more preps the stronger the effect.
>1 prep is a very weak effect.
>Combining emotions requires 1 uninterrupted prep--can dodge, but not block or attack during this prep.

Rage: Containing a great amount of malcontent and destructive influence, any essence infused with this emotion can explode or burn those touching it, including the user. Can be explosive.
Joy: Charges anything touched with incredible energy. This energy can, if too greatly infused, cause an explosion. However, things touched by the explosion are strengthened rather than harmed, becoming more durable.
Love: Slightly reinforces things touched by the infused essence. However, has the primary effect of repairing or healing things in contact with itself.
Despair: Degrading effect, causes things in contact with the infused essence to gradually deteriorate be they physical or energetic.
