[b]Name[/b]: Osamu Akiyama [b]Age[/b]: 13 [b]Gender[/b]: Male [b]Appearance[/b]: [IMG]http://i57.tinypic.com/2e30eis.png[/IMG] Pretend that the eyes are purple, okay! [b]Personality[/b]: Osamu Akiyama is a kind, friendly, affable person who does not appreciate the fact that he is participating, even peripherally, in a ceremony/ritual where people have to kill each other over meaningless trifles - to him, power has no meaning without purpose, and acquring more power is not purpose enough. So, when civilians aren't in danger, he tends to slack off, not just because he is naturally lazy, but also to make a statement. He is also contemptuous of the conformist nature of Japanese society, a reason why he doesn't go to school despite his genius-level intellect. [b]Abilities[/b]: Star Magic Affinity: Osamu Akiyama has an affinity for the Stars, which in this universe, are made up of Ether, a form of material created from mana that can form many compounds and elements that, other kinds of matter already form normally. This gives him an ability to make constructs and items out of that material, as well as an edge in surveillance magic, because stars and the sky are also associated with seeing all under them. However, due to Osamu's age and his archery training (more below) his magical knowledge has suffered, giving him a limited number of spells: Stellar Sight - Osamu can increase his own eyesight to zoom-in on targets, allowing him to aim and see better. Sagitta Luminis: Stunner - Osamu can create an arrow of light that can stun a person head-on. Sagitta Luminis: Fatal - Exactly as it says on the tin. Sagitta Luminis: Ultimate - Osamu draws an arrow, and before his bow appears a Tree of Life from the Kabbalah; when he strikes said Tree of Life with an arrow, said arrows multiply several times and can be launched at many targets. A very powerful spell, but the downside? Even one use of this spell knocks Osamu unconscious because of his relatively low Mana reserves. [b]Skills[/b]: Genius-Level Intellect, Skilled Archer, Lip-Reading, Computer skills. [b]Equipment[/b]: Bow without arrows, Smartphone, Laptop, Spy Cameras. [b]Brief Backstory[/b]: Born to two Magi, Ryo and Ruki/Rika Akiyama, Osamu was surprisingly well-loved for someone born into the cut-throat world of Mage society; while it was true that he was trained intensively from a very young age, it was in order to ensure that he would be able to survive, as The Ceremony was drawing near, and his family were assigned the post of ensuring that Mundane Humans did not interfere in the Ritual. This position was assigned by 'The Moon', the Circle in Japan. In recent generations, Ryo and Ruki interpreted those instructions to mean: Keep civilians safe, not just because killing civilians would draw an investigation, but also because, well, they're civilians; the Akiyama Family had a sense of honor. So, Osamu tackled his (home) schooling, both mundane and supernatural well, acquiring a circle of friends through the Internet as well as monitoring potential breaches in the Masquerade. And, now that the ceremony has come, it was time for him to come onto his own.
