"I'm whatever you want me to be, unless you want somebody who'll pay for everything, then you should piss off."
[ 20 | 5'6 | Canadian-American They/Them | 156lbs ]
[HOPEFUL]
APPEARANCE
"Stare all you want, I'm not tellin."
Barely reaching a total height of 5'6, Charlie isn't exactly the kind of person to be noticed, at least that's what one would think, until you stared a little closer. Its nearly impossible to determine exactly what Charlie is on first glance, though this hasn't stopped many an eye from trying. They carry with them a mysterious beauty and elegance, but somehow sending mixed signals of masculine and boyish behavior. Charlie is speculated to be trans, but the truth is Charlie is just very good at hiding whatever lies within their pants. Gender is nothing more then a social construct.
Their body is thin, and their face is very pronounced, sharp, with features that look like they could cut through diamonds. Unsurprisingly though, their flesh is very soft, much more so then their features would lead on. Their skin is almost perfectly tanned between the point of being pale and being nicely done, so it's safe for one to assume they spend a fair amount of time outside and inside. They manage to give an illusion of being both mildly shapely, and completely flat at once. The only clear body marking is a long scar from some years back, that runs along the outer rim of their right arm.
Charlie's eyes are a faded blue, bordering on grey, much like a clear day with a storm on the horizon, but still shining with enough pigment to be considered a blue color. Their wavy, somewhat messy white-blond hair trails down to near the end of their neck line, and that's the way Charlie likes it, short enough to not be a bother, but long enough to be good looking. Charlie's clothing style is somewhat simple, often consisting of tight fitting jeans and running shoes, long sleeved shirts, and baggy hoodies, with no particular color scheme in mind for any of it. Oddly enough, they have a habit for rarely wearing socks underneath their footwear, so they occasionally complain about their feet blistering.

PSYCHOLOGY
"There's always tomorrow."
MAIN GOAL ⫻ They just want to live peacefully, maybe finally get a job as an actor and get out of the backwater town they find themselves stuck in. Sadly, Charlie hasn't been able to scrape together the funds to buy a functioning car and still have enough to live on for a small while.
PHILOSOPHY ⫻ Life could always be worse, right? Always look forward to the future, because someday things will work out, someday everything will finally get better. Of course, there will always be bad days, Charlie knows that, horrible days you might not recover from, but that's no reason to give up. Everything will get better someday.
SECRETS ⫻ Besides whatever happens to be hidden by the strange items known as clothing, Charlie does have a few things they refuse to talk about. They never let anyone see them change, which has about as much to do with the scar as it does with modesty, and they have yet to reveal to anyone where exactly they currently live.
DESIRES ⫻ To at some point settle down in a nice place, and pursue their dream career of acting. Charlie wants to make it big and participate in all sorts of films and plays. A happy life may be a bit much to ask for, but it's a goal, and Charlie will continue to work at it.
SEXUALITY ⫻ They haven't really thought about it. Much of their time is spent trying to enjoy life and make money at the same time that they haven't had time. People are people, no matter their gender.
FEARS ⫻ Being a burden. Charlie has often worried about messing up around others, or even taking up their time for longer than necessary, and they often excuse themselves when they feel like they've overstayed their welcome. No matter what, Charlie refuses to burden others, when they have lives of their own, the guilt would be to much. Death doesn't sound to appealing either.
REPUTATION ⫻ Known as the oddball jogger with a tendency to preform weird movie style action scenes when they think nobody's around.
PET PEEVES ⫻ When people say it's no problem after assisting Charlie with something. It is a problem! They didn't need to help them out and trouble themselves with Charlie. Cheaters are also considered despicable, never taking the time and actual effort to succeed in life, which often makes Charlie push themselves harder then they should if they find some sort of loop hole around something.
QUIRKS ⫻ Constantly twirling their fingers through their hair, Charlie also frantically glances around during conversation, finding it impossible to keep direct eye contact with others for long, for no real reason.

BACKSTORY
"My past is action packed and full of adventure! Nah, just kiddin, it's pretty normal."
Born in the city of Pomeroy, is Washington, Charlie grew up in a family of six, being the youngest of two brothers and a sister. Their family lived a rather simple life in a large apartment building, with enough money to live comfortably, but not enough to really enjoy the luxuries of life. During the first ten years of their life, they never felt comfortable in their own skin, up until they were introduced to the concept of being neither gender. This felt about right to them, and being a close enough body type, they were able to effectively fool their classmates at the local school for a short amount of time until the wig fell off. They had to figure out the perfect length of hair after that.
They would often find themselves at friends places, and ended up watching TV with them, where they were slowly introduced to the world of acting. Acting brought such a spark to their life, that they began obsessing over it, constantly begging to go over to friends residences and watch movies, to the point of where others started avoiding Charlie all together. This didn't stop Charlie though, they began looking for any way possible to continue learning as much as they could about acting, going as far as reenacting a suicide scene from a movie on the top of apartment building their family lived in at the age of thirteen. Trouble followed very quickly.
As the years passed, they began studying every single angle they could about getting a career in the movies, even trying out in local plays at school to ramp up their acting skills. They were met with mixed success. Years passed, and they took a rare opportunity to travel from their home to the prestigious Grande Ridge Academy to further their education. However, Charlie's only mode of transportation was a crummy junk car, and it took them longer then they might have thought originally to make it. Regardless, after many pit stops to make money for gas and keep themselves fed, Charlie made it, they were in Farmer Hill, now they just had to survive College. That's been turning out to be harder then they thought.

SKILLS & TALENTS
"Things won't get better immediately, so I spent a lot of time goofing off."
[Acting] ⫻ Studying the art of being somebody else for a good chunk of their life, Charlie knows how to play both male and female characters, and also has picked up knowledge on a number of random little things that might but probably won't work in real life from studying movies.
[Jogger] ⫻ Running around everywhere to keep in shape, and to save on gas bills, damn those prices are getting up there, Charlie can move at a pretty decent speed for quite some time. Charlie's had to outrun a good few drunken morons too, so this has helped.

ABSTRACTION
"It's a good day, I feel energized."
SIGIL & LOCATION ⫻ Located on the very back of their neck, rests a ball of pure light, possibly the sun, maybe just projection of a flashlight, either is likely.
ABSTRACTION ⫻ Hope-Infusion, the ability to strengthen the properties of items and people based off hope.
ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻ Tied to their optimism, anticipation, and desire for a great outcome, Charlie has the ability to project it as an energy. This energy infuses objects depending on how hopeful they are feeling and boosts their properties such as durablility, and various other properties. If Charlie were to infuse a kitchen knife it'd be twice as durable and sharp enough to cut through way more than you'd expect a simple kitchen knife would. If they infused a wall it'd be more durable and would hold together. If Charlie infused a gun the bullet would have more piercing power and be able to affect the Extra-Normal. The examples go on, and it makes Charlie a very powerful Awakened if they get their hands on the right items. However, Charlie isn't just limited to inanimate objects, they can infuse people and animals. Anyone that Charlie has contact with will feel the energy and will be stronger, faster, and tougher - and the Awakened will receive a small boost to their abilities. In addition, Charlie is capable of infusing themselves and make themself a lot stronger.
IN THE PRESENCE OF THE MOUNTAIN ⫻ The mountain's presence creates a field that Charlie can control. This field is around five meters and she can selectively pick and chose what gets stronger and what doesn't. Which means that Charlie can infuse a lot more items than they would normally be allowed to, and they can infuse a lot more people, too. Their infusions also get a lot stronger.
LIMITS ⫻ Unless in the presence of the mountain, Charlie can only infuse one thing at a time, and it takes a few moments of focus in order to infuse an object (when strengthened by the mountain any objects that enter their field still takes a few moments to be infused). Which slows them down considerably and isn't that helpful in a fast-paced fight. They can only infuse one object at a time and for as long as they have contact with it (or its within their field), after fifteen seconds the effects will fade completely. Any infused objects have lesser effects on Awakened and other Extra-Normal beings.
WEAKNESSES ⫻ The ability is directly linked to Charlie's optimism and anticipation, and if they don't feel particularly hopeful, their abstraction has an opposite effect; objects will get weaker. That kitchen knife I mentioned before? It'd probably shatter on contact with a soft object. That wall? It'll fall apart. This may be a double-edged sword, but this will apply to any objects that Charlie touches, including themselves with no option to turn it. They'll be weaker, slower, and more prone to injury until they get their hopes back up.
