Finished two accompanying character sheets! Please excuse my absence! XD

[b]First One[/b]
Name: Jackson Catharsis

Age: 16

Birthday: December 31

[hider=Magic]
	Magic Playing Cards (54 Set) - These magic playing cards, unlike normal cards, are usually complete squares (for ease of throwing). On the backside of these cards is a magic circle that is able to connect the cards together. The different suites are fire Hearts (Wind), Diamonds (Fire), Clubs (Earth), and Spades (Water). The different numbers correspond to the power of the magic (Ace lowest, King highest). The White Joker enhances effects while the Black Joker reverses effects (i.e. blue fire, poison, etc.). On their own, these cards some damage (like a punch to the face). Though, when combined in a poker set (One Pair, Two Pairs, Straight, and so on), they deal damage most efficiently, unlike non-five sets of cards. Though Jackson is not able to access this ability yet, the elements can be combined to conjure things such as metal, plants, and ice or create unique effects. Though, this requires more concentration than single element attacks.
	Jackson is also able to prime cards to activate their effects when needed. Though, if he runs out of cards mid-battle, he is able to attack directly with elemental attacks, albeit to a more limited extent. Also, though Jackson is not able to do this yet, after the cards are bound, they can be thrown separately to be activated later. This means Jackson can create traps away or during battles, creating card circles that can activate their effects within the center of the circle, though with less effectiveness.
	
	Hanafuda Cards - When dealt correctly, these cards can summon powerful beings that do different effects. Unfortunately, Jackson has no idea how to use these… A few of these beings can provide great defense, teleport projectile attacks into space (such as the attack of Jupiter Cannon), and provide great healing to a large amount of people. Note: These summons use A TON of eternano, meaning that these are usually last resort.

Magic Level: C (presently)

[hider=History]
	When Jackson was younger, he primarily lived with his mother. Although his father did not interact with the two much, both Jackson and his mother lived happily together. During the early mornings, he and his mother would go out together to get food and make preparations, taking their walks and talking with the neighbors. As the days dragged on, the two would happily play, cook, and read together. Though, out of all these activities, what made Jackson the most excited was his mother’s teachings in magic. Everyday, Jackson would be taught by his mother magic, specifically a specific version of card magic. When his mother was not around, he would practice using the cards by using her favorite china sets as targets. He learned quickly to practice on logs instead. Under his mother’s tutelage, Jackson quickly became familiar with magic, learning how to use the basics with great proficiency. The strangest part of his learning sessions was when he learned how to do heal the minor cuts he had.
	Then one day, an apparent sickness fell upon Jackson’s mother. Jackson knew not what this was until his mother revealed what it was, a new baby girl in her belly. How she knew it was a girl Jackson did not know, but all that mattered was that his mother was pregnant and that he needed to take care of her. While using all the skills he knew, Jackson cooked, read, and played cards with her with the help of the neighbors. Even when Jackson’s mother was sick, he would still be taught by her in magic. Finally, the day came for when Jackson’s sister was born. It went poorly.
	Even though a healthy baby girl was born, Jackson’s mother continued to stay in bed, in a severely weakened state. This suffering continued for a few days without Jackson’s mother uttering a single word. During those few days, doctors and healers came in, baffled at the fact that they could not improve the condition of Jackson’s mother. On her last day, she spoke and called out to Jackson. While barely being able to talk, she comforted Jackson, but made him promise to take care and protect his sister. With the last of her strength, she handed him a deck of Hanafuda cards, saying that her daughter is to be named, Sakura. This occurred on Jackson’s 10th birthday.
The following day, his father returned. Detail need not be spoken about his wretched father. The harsh treatment would send shivers down anyone’s spine. After six years from the arrival of his father, Jackson decided to escape with his sister, leaving for Magnolia where he hopes to find refuge in the guild his mother used to tell stories about. It’s name was Fairy Tail.

[hider=Personality]
	Jackson, though somewhat shy, will initiate conversations when necessary. He can freely enter conversations with ease and is willin
g to hear out out the opinions of others. However, when he needs to, he will make his opinions known and will not hesitate to cut people off. In addition to this, Jackson will always shift the conversation to his sister Sakura, going through many expositions about how great and perfect she is.
	When Jackson encounters a woman of beauty, he becomes silently enamored with the lady in question. He becomes beet red and begins to do his “routine” of casually asking the woman if they could go on a date. Though, this only occurs in non-battle situations and with women he does not know.
	When angered or pulled into battle, the demeanor of Jackson takes on a serious and intimidating disposition. In perspective, this shift in personality will seemingly create a darkened atmosphere. Jackson will talk minimally during this period, only speaking when he gives instructions or responding to questions. He will not curse nor will he mock his opponent; the only thing he will do is fight with deliberacy.

[hider=Appearance]
	For hair, Jackson has dirty brown hair. However, this is made up for with his deep forest green eyes that seem to sparkle like emeralds. His nose is medium sized and has a rounded point at the end. His lips are evenly sized and have a reddish hue to them.
Jackson is about five feet and three inches tall with a lean build, but he does not have that much of a broad of shoulder. His hands and feet are proportionate to his body although his arms and legs are slightly longer than the norm. On his right arm, he has a scar he received while he was exploring a forest as a kid.
	For clothing, Jackson wears ordinary village clothing, as he did not receive any fancy clothing from his mother nor does he have the money to afford it. He does, however, wears a metal ring strung with string around his neck that used to belong to his mother. Though, when he can, Jackson would wear attire reminiscent to that of a card dealer in a casino. A standard vest, bowtie, white long sleeved shirt, black jeans, and black shoes that are all made appropriate for battle. Also, he would get extra protection under the clothing if he could.

[hider=Additional Details]
	His mother was a powerful mage that fell into obscurity while his father is a mysterious man that dabbles in some pretty shady things... Also, Jackson accidentally entered into his mother’s room a few times at the wrong moments when he was younger. These events traumatized him.

[b]Second One[/b]
Name: Sakura Catharsis

Age: 6

Birthday: December 29

Magic: Unrealized

Magic Level: Unrealized

History: Sakura was born two days before Jackson. Sakura was abused physically (not the perv version) under her father’s supervision. She currently is about to leave with Jackson, not knowing that she is going to run away.

Personality: 
Sakura is a quiet girl. Through the abuse she had been put through, she had learned to stay silent. However, underneath that quiet interior is a talkative, loving, and bubbly personality. She can be distracted by ANYTHING, but she can notice even the smallest detail. She is also has hidden intelligence underneath her playful, girlish personality. Though, when threatened, she completely seizes up and stays completely silent.
	Though, she does have a serious side to her. Like her brother, she can seemingly cause the atmosphere to darken around her… In contrast to this, she also has a motherly and selfless side to her. She will try to cheer up anyone who is saddened and try to help those in need, going as far as helping even strangers. This leads to another part of her personality. She’s naive. She will help anyone, even people that are potentially dangerous. This can lead to her getting into very sticky situations, but because of this openness, she has a knack in pulling people on the line between good and evil into the light.
