[hider=Julius Ragnarson] Name: Julius Ragnarson Age: 21 Gender: Male Image: [img=http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/17500000/Allen-Walker-allen-walker-17528144-1024-768.jpg] (Minus the scar/tattoo - closest thing I could get to him). Appearance: Julius stands at 5' 10" tall with an athletic build. He is scrawnier than he once was due to the torture conditions in the House of Powers and the diet one has while being on the run from nearly everyone. His muscle mass is beginning to return now that he has his sight back and is better able to engage in physical exercise and activity. He is blond to the point his hair is nearly white, always carefully brushed into a slightly messy side parting due to his wavy hair which he keeps fastidiously short to be manageable. His eyes are a bright blue, both piercing and warm at the same time; understanding and all-knowing. He has a quick and gentle smile which his eyes sparkle in unison with although it is rare for him to laugh. Generally, Julius prefers to wear plain, unstyled jeans, running shoes or smart-casual shoes which are also practical, and white polo shirts. His dedication to wearing plain clothes would not be remarkable for the fact he wears the same kind of outfit every day with occasional variance in the colour and make of his polo shirts (although always being of a light colour, usually of a blue variant when not completely white). He has taken to carrying a pair of sunglasses at all times, from when he had no eyes, although he only wears them in bright, direct sunlight. Powers: Manipulation of air currents (note: this is not the same as control over air. Julius can alter the movement of air and initiate movement as well but cannot produce air and has very limited ability in altering the state or components of air). He also has a higher muscle strength output than most but this ability is rapidly diminishing every time he uses it. Skills: Julius is smart. Not your run-of-the-mill academic smart; anything he turns his hand to, Julius can pick it up very quickly. He's a natural strategist and has a good understanding of people and the human condition in general, however his usually kind heart prevents him from maximizing his potential for manipulation. He also has some practiced skill at playing the piano. Personality: Mild and reserved, Julius is very much what many expect of a Briton (even if this reputation is somewhat ill-deserved). Preferring to stand back and watch events before making a decision or getting involved, unless there is an element of danger, Julius can often seem to be a puppeteer or simply shy. He is defensive of his friends to a fault and cannot help but aid those in need; provided it doesn't endanger his friends (or himself if his capture/injury were to affect their safety). Julius is the honourable sort and will take every burden upon himself rather than share it with others, rising to any challenge presented and never complaining openly about the difficulty of a task. History: Accepted into every school he ever applied for, Julius was a star pupil in just about every field he applied himself to. He had a voracious thirst for knowledge, experience and skills which kept him busy at all times. Despite these successes, he only had a few friends but he considered them to be near-family in importance to him and the feeling was mutual. Then Julius' mother died. She had been mentally ill all of Julius' life, often confusing him with someone called 'Bryan' and breaking down into a fit of hallucinations and self-harm. Shortly after his final exams she died from a brain hemorrhage leaving Julius alone with his abusive father. Julius' father reacted to any state of illness in his wife with violence towards Julius', blaming his son for any small issue or problem that presented itself; it was no wonder that Julius spent as much time as possible indulging in extra-curricular activities in order to stay away from home. A week before he was to journey to Cambridge to begin his University education (having chosen the university over Oxford for it's more liberal leanings - he was accepted into both), Julius' father and uniformed men crashed into his room and drugged him into unconsciousness. Next thing he knew, Julius was awake in the House of Powers. There he met Diego, Maribeth, Allister and others. Before breaking out, Julius' eyes were removed and he was shot in the leg leaving him with a permanent limp. He developed a secondary vision during his blindness using air movements as a sensor. In the proceeding months, Julius grew very close to Allister (and they picked up a stray yellow labrador puppy they named Caesar in jest) as she looked after him. During the months of pursuit: Diego and Julius clashed over their opposing thoughts on mercy, Julius' found he had a slightly older brother named Bryan who had been drugged into madness by their father, Julius accidentally killed his father in a scuffle with a knife and Bryan's eyes were surgically implanted into Julius giving him a small measure of his brother's secondary power of strength.[/hider]
