Chronicles of the Six: Magic’s Awakening: A Magical Boy RP.

Moving around the mystery person was certainly seeming to be working in his favour; with another figure bounding up to them, Ciel knew having a conversation with one person let alone two whilst so unprepared would have given him something to lose sleep over. However, despite the exceptional results he was receiving from his strategy of avoiding people, the words of a confession elicited a stumble in his step - walking into something so private between strangers certainly wasn't his goal for the day, but the almost instant realisation that followed kept him from rushing to be on his merry way. He may have been blind - quite literally - but he wasn't deaf, the two people just a few meters away were unmistakably Niles and Deuel. Duel. Who confessed to Niles. And Niles. Who was being confessed to.

It made sense. With six of them being childhood friends it was inevitable that at least some of them would catch feelings for each other, but for one reason or another, Ciel found himself approaching the two in complete disregard for his previous apprehensions. Whatever emotion that threatened to bubble over was shoved behind a casual albeit brisk gait. Fists clenched within the pockets of the short-sleeved hoodie he donned, he managed to ignore any of the following exchanges from either of them and twisted his features into a semblance of a friendly smile, chirping, "I see you two are collecting kindling, too? You know, with the amount I've found I think we can head back and start a fire now."

Completely bulldozing over Deuel's heartfelt speech made him feel like shit but hearing one of the potential answers Niles could give would be worse; if anything, Ciel was simply looking out for his friends. Making sure no hard feelings got in the way of spending some time together before they parted ways, it was simply him being a good friend. Besides, he didn't even hear Niles' response so how could he be held accountable for interrupting a potentially significant moment? No matter how he purposefully focused on the blood rushing to his ears or the tightening grip he held on his collected firewood, it was simply a coincidence he didn't hear him, don't worry about it - with night falling he was simply tired as anyone else would be.

"I'm sure everyone is getting cold by now so we should be getting a campfire going soon," he contentedly nodded, as if agreeing with his own suggestion and aptly positioned himself between the duo lest they end up realising their requited feelings for each other and running into the sunset hand in hand. Although, with Niles involved, such a situation seemed to be a dubious outcome but Ciel didn't particularly feel like taking the risk, just in case. The cool breeze that signaled the encroaching starry sky did little to calm the heat he felt building within his chest and cheeks, though, he hoped the low light and refusal to keep his gaze upon either Deuel or Niles would be enough to mask the awful sensation from both him and his friends.

Most of the day had already been spent with his nose behind his DS, the quiet clicks from him fervently pressing the buttons were the only things on his mind as he kept himself occupied on the journey to the beach where he now found himself squinting at the darkening screen under the glare of the sunset - ignore enough problems and some of them were bound to go away, right? The thought of everyone going their separate ways and Ciel being left alone made his stomach turn in ways he didn't want to think about. Arguably, distancing himself from the other five was counterintuitive in making the most of his time with them, but as many were well aware of, emotional intelligence was never Ciel's strong suit, so when Conner piped up about getting their campsite started, Ciel leapt at the opportunity to keep any bubbling emotions in check in private.

"I can find some sticks or whatever along the beach for the campfire - see ya later and good luck on the tents!" he called out behind him with a wave, back already to the group as he made his way down the length of the shore in lazy strides. If he was going to keep up his high energy persona in front of everyone else for the next few days, he might as well give himself time to mope about the circumstances of doing so as a treat for backing out of the trip. Was it a dick move to leave everyone to do the heavy lifting? Yes. But in his defense, between Deuel and Conner's bright dispositions and the sheer amount of energy drinks Niles brought, they'd be done in no time.

The accursed combination of knee-high socks and sandals scuffed the sand as Ciel tread past several pieces of potential tinder. The few sticks he did have imprinting the bark patterns into his palms were from the first few minutes of his walk when he assumed he was still in view of his friends. Of course, he didn't plan to stay away from them for too long; not because he'd actually be remorseful about not spending time with them, very clearly and very obviously as he'd have anyone know, but only because being legally blind at night in the middle of beach didn't seem too appealing and for absolutely no other reason. The simplicity of kicking the occasional shell or stone he encountered seemed to ease his mind, at least, enough for him to decide he was far enough from the brink of a shaky voice to head back. The now dim landscape still offered enough light to navigate back to the campsite, however, the figure striding in his direction was simply a silhouette Ciel couldn't make out. Perhaps someone else was sent to collect firewood with the assumption that he was dead and unable to bring back any. Or maybe they were simply taking a stroll. Whatever the case was, Ciel figured it would be better to go around them to prevent any awkward interactions that would be imposed upon him otherwise.

Ciel Baudelaire

Human

Name: Ciel Baudelaire

Age: 18

Appearance:

Standing at 5’6, Ciel has a lean build with feminine features and a pale complexion and messy, dark hair that falls in layered waves to partially obscure light red eyes, a trait from his ocular albinism, when left unkempt as the rest of his appearance tends to be with his bitten nails and haphazardly thrown on attire. The oversized t-shirts and shorts he prefers to don are frequently seen with headphones draped over his neck and glasses perched upon his nose to alleviate the lack of decent eyesight his legal blindness has so kindly gifted him.

Personality: Ciel is… eccentric to say the least. Ciel is known to bear a mischievous smirk and a smug laugh to those he is close to as he displays a rather childish disposition with his cynical jokes and teasing nature. Although, his carefree demeanor is but a front. Under the cocky words he uses to describe himself, he only uses such pridefulness to deflect anyone’s advances to get to know him better, unable to manage his emotions as any reasonable human would. Ciel’s fear of being known has made him somewhat of a hermit when he isn’t being a nuisance to his friends, spending his free time in his room to indulge in games or Japanese pop culture he’d be too scared to do so in their presence. His insecurities extend further than his interests however, as the culmination of his worries of people not liking him and his overly logical approach to everything causes him to adapt his personality to fit anyone’s preferences from simply spending a few minutes with them. Despite this, his cunning and observance is also often used to weasel his way out of situations others may find difficult; an ability he heavily relies upon.

History With a rather unremarkable beginning, Ciel was born to relatively normal parents with a relatively normal childhood, Ciel was an upbeat child who managed good grades effortlessly despite spending most of his time indoors due to his ocular albinism and general distaste for physical activity and becoming quite the social outcast amongst his peers. He didn’t mind it at first, however, being called annoying one too many times due to underdeveloped social skills caused him to become reclusive, preferring to stay in the comfort of his own presence which only served to further delay his emotional development. Keeping to himself, he exclusively distracted himself with his own interests and hobbies, ignoring the end of high school that was ever growing closer and closer where he now remains unsure of his actual goals in life but has decided to attend university for medical courses he doesn’t hold much interest for.

Magic

Magical Form:

reference is a giant wip until i have time to do a cleaner version
His left eye becomes blue and his hair becomes white while his physical appearance is otherwise unchanged. His attire consists of skin-tight shorts and sleeveless top to give the translucent and white fabric that drape over him a greater spotlight. The harlequin patterns are in an alternating pale blue and pink whilst the rest of his outfit is either white with gold accents or translucent fabric adorned with white feathers.

Weapon An umbrella he uses as a bat, rapier, and walking cane.

Abilities: Ciel is rather weak by himself, only able to create wind currents but his strength comes from its versatility as it is rather formidable when supporting his friends’ powers where he is able to create mirages with fire, thunderstorms with water etc. However, his magic’s adaptability extends past complimenting other elements as it can be adapted into serving various needs as long as he can think of how to manipulate his powers, such as filling his umbrella with air to float, using strong winds to push heavy objects, carrying objects with a gentler breeze and the like.

Apart from his standard wind current creation, Ciel’s voice is another interesting weapon in his magical form—with the ability to entrance anyone as long as they hear his songbird’s tune, if he could sing, of course. With underdeveloped vocals from years of being silent at school and in public, his singing isn’t the prettiest and as such, the few seconds he can hold a note is all his hypnotic abilities extend to, rendering it a lot less useful than it could be.

Companion

Name: Vayu

Appearance: A fluffy white dove with pale, blue eyes and delicate features perpetually pushed into a haughty expression.

Personality: Vayu was once a reclusive yet prolific, nomadic scholar who used air magic to aid her in her travels. Though she is unhappy with her animalistic form, she has decided to make the most of things and push her charge to perform to the best of his abilities, much to both of their chagrin. Her pragmatic approach and prioritization of order and discipline in anything she is a part of tends to encroach upon Ciel’s more impulsive nature but her hardened exterior is really more of a tough love as she only wants to see her charge succeed where she could not. One such rare case of affection is that Vayu can usually be seen perched atop Ciel’s head or in his arms as a means to comfort him in what she understands must be a difficult and unfamiliar environment to adapt to.

@Letter Bee oh alright, I can’t believe I missed that post lmao. But no worries, I’ll be gunning for air in that case then!

This looks really interesting! Would I be able to snag the light or air elements if they’re still open? I have a semi-solidly built character who would fit either of those elements pretty well.
