[@Scio] How's this? [hider=Stellar "Clive" Arkadian] [center] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/5a/db/e7/5adbe74c480e0ff1b9eb2da6ca57b09d.jpg[/img] [b][color=greenyellow]Name:[/color][/b] Stellar Arkadian, introduces himself as "Clive" and only "Clive" [b][color=greenyellow]Age:[/color][/b] 17 [b][color=greenyellow]Personality:[/color][/b] On the surface Clive always looks lackadaisical and uncaring; but underneath is a complex self-acknowledgedly detrimental (relationship-wise) psychological cycle of considering and reconsidering what he does and doesn't care about. He is always reaching a conclusion, and then reconsidering it, arriving at the same solution, and reconsidering it again. Basically, he doesn't know how much he [i]really[/i] cares about a lot of the things he's supposed to care about. Stuff like his parents he's sure about. His mom is too good for him and he doesn't like his dad too much. But for stuff like his magic, he's way more uncertain. He recognizes that magic users aren't 'well accepted' by society, but he's really not sure whether not he should hide it. One one hand, the people who actively insulted those with magic were generally assholes who he shouldn't give two shits about anyway; but on the other hand, those assholes were pretty influential and he already knew his friends didn't like magic users. There were a lot of people he liked amongst his friends and he definitely doesn't like being hated by someone he likes. He defaults to uncaring, because if he does then whatever it is he really feels wouldn't matter so much. If he cared, no one else really needed to know, and if really he didn't, then that just meant the illusion would be real. [b][color=greenyellow]History:[/color][/b] Clive could probably say that his uncertainty started at birth. Stellar was the name his parents gave him but they used it so often around him he had no idea it was his name until he was about 6 years old. His father said it was to carry their wishes that he be a special boy, and he had no idea what to feel about that. He could appreciate their intention considering how normal their family was compared to their last name, but he didn't like the name awfully much either. He settled with just introducing himself to strangers as "Clive" so they wouldn't ask too many questions, but they would at some point ask something. Well, that wasn't the only big thing about Clive though. The other thing was that at about age 8, he developed an [b][color=8dc73f]Igyo-class[/color][/b] ability, manifesting in his eyes. Their color slowly changed over the years, so his parents only realized he'd developed it at about 12, when it became a lot more obvious. They thought he'd just had a penchant for seeing through people, even Clive himself only put two and two together when he found out people didn't normally see other people's emotions as colors. They opted to hide it, but even though eye color obscuring glasses were something you could buy, that would just make it obvious you were hiding something, so instead they opted with the "our child just has a penchant for wearing sunglasses indoors-outdoors day or night" route to make people want to ask questions, but to dissuade them from really asking questions. They received an invitation from Four Winds soon after that, when Clive reached 13, but Clive didn't feel like he needed to go. They were keeping it a secret fairly well and he thought he could just keep going like that. Fast forward 4 years later, and Clive realizes he kind of can't. His attitude made it hard to make any friends unfortunately for him. There was always too much distance, and they could feel it. So on his 17th year of life he decided to send what few friends he had a letter saying he was going to Four Winds. Whether or not he was coming back though, he'll 'see'. [b][color=greenyellow]Skills:[/color][/b] Reading the atmosphere, aided by his ability, and thinking HARD. Also quite good at the maths and sciences, anything that requires his whole attention. [b][color=greenyellow]Abilities:[/color][/b] Beholder Clive's ability is an [b][color=8dc73f]Igyo-class[/color][/b] ability which allows him to see people's emotions as certain colors on certain parts of their body. For example, a cute crush shows up as a pink blush on their cheeks, and violent anger shows up as red tints on a person's fists. It also possesses the ability to 'see' magic on a person. On a person capable of magic, he sees a metaphorical representation of their magic somewhere on their person. Someone who shoots dark blasts would have something like dark blast auras on their hands, something like that anyway. A lot of the time it looks like what the magic would look like but it's not always clear what someone can do. He has little experience with magic so drawing on the earlier dark blast example, he'd see the auras but he wouldn't know if it was dark blasts or throwing shade or something along those lines. It's easier to tell with [color=0072bc][b]Henkei-class[/b][/color] and other [b][color=8dc73f]Igyo-class[/color][/b] class magic users, but with practice he'd probably be able to tell what anybody's was just by looking at it. He can also see a trail from cast magic which persists for a varying amount of time depending the nature of the spell. The longer the spell lasts, and the stronger the spell was, the longer the trace will linger. [b][color=8dc73f]Igyo-class[/color][/b] magic doesn't generally leave a trail unless it has some kind of active magic component, and [color=0072bc][b]Henkei-class[/b][/color] transformations will leave behind a residue where the transformation occurred leading back to the user. [b][color=greenyellow]Inventory:[/color][/b] Sunglasses, and 9 different flavors of chewing gum.
