Name: Fredrick Edrick
Asset Number: 906
Age: 30
Department: Research and Denial
A tall, slim man, with little to no muscles. Not to an anorexic point, but Fredrick very clearly either starved himself as a teen, or has a very high metabolism. He is usually seen wearing suits or high business causal wear, that is very minimalistic and simple. All of Fredrick's wear is symmetrical, and he only really wears one colour all the way through, with the exception of his tie, which his wife demanded was a different colour to "Spruce things up a bit.".
Equipment and Spells:
Force Pull: Much like in the movie Star Wars, Fredrick is able to pull things towards himself using something akin to the force. He can only pull small objects, such as books, ladles, or other similar sized objects. He can pull them towards him from up to five meters away.

Asset Study No. 906 - Fredrick Edrick
Mr. Edrick is an interesting case of someone who has the potential to do something great, but has one fatal flaw holding him back. His Obsessive Compulsive Disorder has lead to many time-wasting and irritating moments, not for him, as he thinks they are necessary, but for his peers; because they have to live through the wasted minutes. It is true that a group is only as fast as it's slowest member, and unfortunately for whatever group Fredrick is part of, this rule must hold true for them as well. In fact, it would do members of Fredrick's social life to slow down, and leaving him behind would be a stupid decision on their part. While slow to work, Fredrick is gifted with quite the intelligent mind.
He has been able to solve quite complicated mathematical procedures in amounts of time so small that Einstein would be amazed. His proficiency with logic and reason are remarkable, to the point where he has ascended the standard where devoted scientists his age would be at.
Unfortunately, at times, Fredrick tends to be a tad childish and resistant for seemingly no reason. His name tends to be a touchy subject, and when told about any sort of artistic or philosophical mind-bending theories, he gets nauseous. This, coupled with his OCD, lead to many finding it hard to get along with Fredrick, and ultimately means not having much of a social life.

Born in Helsinki, Eastern Sweden, to a mother and father who were poets and authors by profession, Fredrick Edrick has rather humble beginnings. He was given that rather stupid "unique" name by his poet parents, who insisted that it rhymed. His uncles, aunts and grandparents fought against it, pointing out how Fredrick would be bullied in school and such, but they didn't listen.
And boy, did he get bullied at school.
Not only because of the name, but since he was getting bullied because of the name, Fredrick's social life went down the drain and he took solace in his studies, and so he got bullied for being a nerd too. High school was not a fun place to be when your name was Fredrick Edrick. However, Fredrick did manage to get through this horrible time by excelling in mathematical studies, and dropping Art and Music as soon as he had the chance. Fredrick won many awards in the subject, proving his worthiness his more respectful peers, and proving his geekiness to his less respectful peers.
High school was also when Fredrick developed his OCD, but the seed for the disorder to sprout was planted when he was much younger, after looking at one of his mother's shoddy replicas of Picasso's 'The Weeping Woman' and asking "Why doesn't the face line up properly?" His mother's reply was that "Art is just like that.". Fredrick didn't like that comment one bit. Why did art get to be like that, but his name couldn't? Art could be outlandish and non-repetitive, but his name had to be rhyming and easy to make fun of.
And even though one could say that Fredrick must like his name because it caused his repetitive and symmetrical nature, Fredrick would disagree, and say that the reason for the OCD is instead because he hated that comment his mother made about 'The Weeping Woman' and that he resents everything about it.
So yeah, instead of becoming liked, Fredrick became smart. But his ability to solve any mathematical problem in seconds didn't just rise from years of study. In fact, almost none of it did. For, you see, the ground upon Fredrick was born was once a site for ancient rituals, and the remnants of magic left over from those rituals easily penetrated the mind of a newborn, defenseless baby. Fredrick's father and heavily pregnant mother were out on a romantic trip one day when - GASP - His mother's water broke in the middle of nowhere. Rushing out of the car and onto the side of the road, where there was a small, pure water lake, Fredrick's mother proceeded to give a natural water birth to the boy.

Smart: Like, real smart. But only when using logic and reason, unfortunately. Mathematics and science are his jam, but interpreting the meaning of art and debating whether an invisible man in the sky is real or not are his anti-jam. His peanut butter? His molasses? Being able to solve the parabola of a line in the matter of seconds, or simplifying the square root of 12762374 just like *snap* that are definitely some of his best skills.
Subconscious Magical Abilities: Due to his mind being infiltrated by magical energy as a newborn, but not actually knowing anything about magic, Fredrick does not actually know that the small amount of magic he does perform is in fact magical.
