FestiveName: Kobby Aboah
Alias: Anansi
Age: 15
Personality: Kobby is a kind person and ever since he began his journey as a shaman he has been trying to reconnect with his cultural heritage. Because of his ties with the spirit world, Kobby can seem detached and weird. He is very wise and is willing to help anyone who seeks his help as long as it skills aren't used to do bad. One of his flaws is that he can be judgmental about materialism of modern society.
Powers:
Shamanism: Anansi has the abilities of a shaman and is thus able to utilize spiritual magic and see and communicate with the spirit world. This grants him the ability summon spirits of all types to his aid, but he prefers summoning nature and ancestral spirits. Being a practitioner of shamanism allows him to tap into the large well of spiritual power and is able to perceive all things spiritual. Finally he can bring a spirit into his body and share its power and wisdom.
Spirit Bolt: He is able to fire off a bolt of spiritual energy that is harmful only to things that have spirit or soul, but it is can be very costly if used too many times.
Spirit Webbing: Anansi can create a web of spiritual energy that can't be seen by the normal eye. This web allows him to know the location of anything that has a form of spirit or soul when it passes through it. The web has to be connected and lead back to him for it to work.
Spirit Hand: He can move objects with spiritual energy and amount of size and weight that he is able move is determined by how much energy he puts into moving the object.
Shamanistic Healing: As a shaman Anansi can spiritually heal lifeforms by soothing and healing their spirit which can heal emotional and physical traumas. This ability can take up a great amount of energy and requires a good amount of concentration.
Spiritual Meditation: Anansi can enter meditative state and detach his spirit from his body to enter the spirit world to seek wisdom from the spirits as well as balance out his spirit to lessen stress and pain. He also uses meditation to replenish his spiritual energy.
Spirit Music: He can use his instruments to play music which allows him to summon spirits of many kinds depending on the tune and instrument that he plays. These spirits are visible to an ordinary person and can be used to frighten, aid or spiritually harm a person.
Spirit Guide: Anansi has the aid of spiritual Osprey who acts as his spirit guide.
Summon Instruments: this ability allows him to magically summon his instruments.
Weakness: His powers are weak against iron and silver and his offense abilities are useless against any enemies that do not possess a spirit or soul.

Bio: Growing up in the country of Ghana was peaceful and the country has modernized over the recent years. But there is a price that comes with being a modern country, many of the cultural heritage of its citizens were lost to the ever advancing science and technology. For Kobby it was hard trying to keep his heritage close to himself and adapting to the modern world. His grandfather was the main reason for him to try and keep his heritage.
His grandfather told him stories about the spirits that roamed the land and of the great shamans of the past. It was then he learned about the long line of shamans in his family. When his grandfather talked about the magic that was all around them Kobby imagined himself as a great shaman and doing great deeds for people all trhough out the land.
These dreams eventually became a distant memory when he became older and his ties to his heritage began to weaken. Everything changed when his grandfather disappeared and Kobby felt a strange call draw him towards the savannah. One day he decided to take a trip to the wilderness and there he had an encounter with the spirits of Africa. They told him that his grandfather had passed over and that Kobby was chosen to become the next great shaman of Africa.
After they had told him the spirits put Kobby into a coma like state and he spent the next three years learning the arts of shamanism while in his mystical dream state. Once he awakened Kobby was instructed to journey to America and there he would find his destiny. So he did as he was told and went to America. Once there he saw the heroes of the country fight off great evils and Kobby believed that this may have been what the spirits meant for him. And so he donned the costume of a shaman and eventually joined the Teen Titans team hoping to find out if this was his destiny.
