Uriel Atticus

Name: Uriel Atticus
Age: 17, born March 26, 1998
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Pansexual

Appearance

History:
Rich, handsome and smart, Uriel was born with it all. His parents were extremely doting; Uriel got whatever he wanted as an apology for their constant absences in his life. He grew up in the lap of luxury but rather than becoming snobbish, he was eager to share his wealth with his peers. Constantly breezing through life thanks to his natural gifts was too boring.
The first occurrence of his power was during a particularly difficult math test. He was concentrating more than usual and didn’t notice how everyone else in the room was quite uncomfortable and struggling through their own tests. Afterwards, his classmates complained about their headaches during the test period. One girl even threw up. Uriel was completely fine though. However, Uriel was unable to put two and two together and is still unaware of his abilities.
As for how he was kidnapped…some clearly suspicious individuals in suits and sunglasses were standing around in town. Uriel went up to say “Heya” and offer directions (they seemed to be looking for something). They seemed pretty alarmed for some reason ("Aw come on guys, I don't bite!"). He offered to ride shotgun in the black jeep with blacked out windows ("Woah, snazzy car!") and lead them wherever they needed to go. He never saw the syringe coming.

Power:
Pain manipulation - Uriel’s ability allows him to manipulate the biology of living things to trigger exaggerated responses to damaging stimuli. The effect of his ability varies on the person’s mental fortitude and pain threshold. His maximum radius of effect is unknown for now. There must be a trigger at first for his ability to work. For example, if someone is drinking a slushie, Uriel can make them have a brainfreeze. If someone gets shoved, Uriel can make the area shoved feel like a bullet has hit them. Whether he’s manipulating nocireceptors or the somatosensory cortex is unknown.
Currently, the most that he can do is trigger minor headaches within a small radius of about five meters. He is unaware of his power and can use it involuntarily.

Personality:
A magnificently generous and loving individual…is what Uriel sees himself as. While not entirely untrue, Uriel’s bloated ego and flamboyant personality leaves something to be desired when it comes to his altruism. His entire mindset revolves around “noblesse oblige”. Uriel really is a decent fellow but the execution of his good intentions can be quite grating to some and has landed him in trouble more than a few times. He sees himself as a handyman of sorts; if you’ve got a problem he’ll find a solution, don’t worry about the means or costs or nothin’. Because of his varied experiences and no lack of resources, Uriel has picked up a few skills ranging from carpentry to acting to basic skill levels in several instruments.
While being quite academically intelligent (he can get above average grades without even studying), when it comes to people Uriel is pretty gullible. He always tries to see the best in people. This, when paired with his eagerness to help, makes him very easy to persuade or take advantage of. Fortunately, his friends are usually there to fend off people with questionable intentions.
Uriel appears quite charismatic to those who do not know him well. His confidence and friendly personality makes it easy for him to persuade and befriend. Those who have known him for longer than a month think of him as a well-intentioned dork and exasperatedly put up with his many escapades.
His way of speaking is quite poetic and dramatic. He has a tendency to go off on a tangent and make long monologues.

Academy of Noble Arms

He rolled his eyes at her sarcastic response. At least he had one thing he could always rely on her for: her merciless mockery. He gestured to the bus stop and started walking, knowing she'd follow. The bus didn't take too long to arrive, so Luis explained the piano situation to her on the way.

"So basically, I need your swapping power to get it up the stairs. You'll get properly compensated of course. Mrs Castillo makes a killer apple pie, so you'll get some too. If that's too little, I'll pay for lunch today too. I know how stupidly big your appetite is."

"Oh, and Pablo and Reinhard are going to check out the Guerrero Street incident. I'm gonna join them after so you're free to come with."

Academy of Noble Arms

Luis had successfully knocked through about two of the taggers before the whistle blew. He clicked his tongued annoyedly, ignoring the glares from the students he decked. Next time he saw those twins, he wasn't gonna waste his opportunity.

"Luis," said Pablo, "can you meet me and possibly Reinhard in the library in five minutes?"

The muscled boy shook his head ruefully.

"Apologies mi pana, got a prior engagement. Maybe afterwards. Catch ya later."

He relayed his phone number to Pablo before leaving for the locker rooms to get changed. Man, if he knew that tomorrow's classes were cancelled too, then he would have saved his extra studying for later instead of enduring the unholy raucousness of his classmates. He waited by the gate, hoping that the bus to the city wouldn't take too long. He took the folded note from his pocket, given to him by his landlord the day before.

It read in flowery handwriting: "The piano arrives tomorrow. If you could take it up to my apartment for me, I'll compensate you well. A. Castillo"

Luis had planned to transport the upright Petrof to Mrs Castillo's top level apartment by using the service elevator, but it had conveniently broken down the night before. Therefore, Luis decided to turn to Nishka. He knew that she would greatly appreciate his landlord's reward. He had done a few errands for her in the past and it had always been worth it.

Luis sighed and stared to the sky. He wouldn't be surprised if Nishka decided to ditch because of the freeze tag game, but he sincerely hoped otherwise.
