David has short, brown hair that seems like it has never seen a decent comb in years. His face has nothing special. It’s rather V shaped yet his chin is a little bit more horizontal and not pointy. His eyes are deep, dark brown. So dark that you actually need to focus for a second to see that his pupils are a bit darker.
He stands a good 5’ 9” (175cm) and weights about 154lbs (about 70kg). He’s not really muscular and neither is he very strong. But he’s very flexible.

Name: David Archers
Age: 18
Gender: Human/Celestial
A Celestial spirit is a creature that roams Space with pure freedom. It’s one of the creatures closed aligned with Cosmic Powers. It is whispered that Celestial Spirits do have a home world. The truth is known to few men. Celestial Spirits do have a place they can call home. A large Nebula. Ancient Celestial Spirits go here to go die. But a Celestial Spirit does not die so easily. Instead, much like a star, it explodes like a supernova. But due to the fact it is in this nebula, a new EGG is born and from that, a star.
However, the birth of a Celestial Spirit is much less explosive or dangerous. Instead, a Celestial Spirit is born as a human (or possibly other life forms far, far away). Just like humans they grow up. Around early adolescence they start developing powers whom have close resemblance with Cosmic Power. Do note that a Celestial Spirit is born at random. They do not reproduce in a traditional way. Instead there is a small, small, small chance that a baby simply is a Celestial Spirit while both his parents are human (magical or non-magical, it does not matter). But due to this, infant Celestial Spirits have no knowledge of their powers or what they actually are.
However, they can mediate, learn and train their powers. Through this they come closer to the Cosmic Powers. Eventually a, Infant Celestial Spirit can achieve ‘enlightenment’ which is commonly seen as the point when he gains the ability to switch between an Ethereal form and a Corporal form (his human body). Upon reaching enlightenment they mostly leave earth in search of other spirits or to travel the vast Universe. Some do return to earth and take up their Corporal form once more. Mostly they leave behind coded scrolls full of mythical knowledge. But only in capable hands.
Celestial Spirits are not all mighty. Nor are the Cosmic Powers something to laugh at. When used too much with not enough focus, stamina and attunement to a Cosmic Power, it can and will destroy you. While violent emotions like hate, fear and even love can greatly enhance ones powers, they are the single greatest cause of personal destruction. Furthermore, Celestial Spirits, when they die, leave a single, little crystal in their stomach. This crystal is said to greatly enhance cosmic magic and is therefore a greatly prized object. Infant Celestial Spirits will most likely be targeted for said crystals, as they are not yet powerful enough to defend themselves.
Finally, Celestial Spirits are very, very rare. Mostly, maximum 10 Infant Spirits grow on earth worldwide at any given time. However, Celestial Spirits achieving Ethereal Sentience and Enlightenment age much slower than humans.
A celestial spirit can also chose to never achieve Ethereal Sentience. They then continue to live as humans and die as humans. When they die of old age, there is no violent reaction.
Powers: Attunement towards the Cosmic Powers or simply Cosmic Magic.
He draws power from suns, moons and the many celestial bodies. He can bundle the light of stars, the sun and moon into beams, orbs or, after lots of training, he can weave the light other shapes.. That is the simplest of part of Cosmic Magic. It’s not very effective against foes but great for light sources. This is made possible through Attunement towards the Cosmic Power named Cosmic Light.
Another Cosmic Power is the Cosmic Flux. More often called the Ethereal Flux. It is raw Cosmic Energy that can be turned into black and purple shockwaves or blasts. It’s much more powerful against foes. But its powers greatly fluxuate when emotions are involved. It’s often the second Cosmic Power a Celestial Spirit discovers. It also leads to the most death as the Cosmic Flux is a pretty violent power.
The next force is called Cosmic Order or Gravitational Magic. The use learns how to revert gravitons. This allows him to make himself float or lift objects. Celestial Spirits cannot lift other sentient beings nor can he interfere with other magic that manipulates gravity.
The final power learned on earth is Ethereal Sentience. The Celestial Spirit knows what he is and used his powers enough to be aligned enough with the Cosmic Powers. The search of Ethereal Sentience is none the less a tricky one. It requires long days of meditation and reflection. A Spirit must be willing to leave behind his old life, friends, family and earth to achieve Ethereal Sentience. Once he succeeds he is enlightened and can turn his body into its Ethereal Form. Mind you, Ethereal Form does not mean immortal. Celestial Spirits can still be hit by magic and can die (and that can turn out pretty violent. It is whispered that this is one of the reasons so few Spirits ever return back and stay for such a short period. They might fear for the destruction of a planet if they are killed.)
Weaknesses:
The very power he uses can and will kill him if he isn’t cautious. To make things worse he doesn’t even know exactly with what he’s dealing. That means that it's very likely that he might hurt himself when casting spells. Or that a spell backfires. It’s not excluded that Wizards might hunt him down, kill him and steal the crystal in his stomach. But he would have no idea why he’s being attacked.
A stranger weakness might be the fact that Celestial Spirits cannot swim. They don't float nor can they ever learn how to swim. Because of this, they have an inborn fear of large quantities of waters. Washing and taking a shower is not that bad. Taking a bath is testing one's courage. Demand him to swim in a pool and an Celestial Spirit won't stop running untill the water is out of sight. Throw him overboard on the sea and the poor creature is doomed and death.
Personality:
Silent and always thoughtful. He will talk with people. Might even make the first step. Never the less sometimes he just doesn’t want talk every minute of the day. Some might say he doesn’t really talk much about himself. That probably because he never had a very interesting life and he prefers listening to other people.
He will also constantly overthink things. To the point that if a friend doesn’t say hello to him he might start thinking they hate him. Never the less he’s good of heart and will always try to help his friends. Maybe not always in the right way.
However, he has quite a problem with his own self-esteem. He doesn’t think himself to be much nor does he think that his magic is really powerful. He rejects compliments and takes criticism close to heart. He also is prone to hide it if something is wrong.
Background:
David was raised in an upper-middle class family. His parents valued personal success above all. The subtle game of showing off (be it with their own accomplishments or those of their children) dominates every meeting with other people. This meant that anything weird like David powers were not allowed. From a very young age he was disciplined to never use his powers. At least not in front of his parents. They did love him though.
Study: Science, History, Art, Sports, Computer, Cooking, economics.
