[hider=Student] [i][b]Name:[/b][/i] Hideki "Hiei" Henkan [i][b]Age:[/b][/i] 16 [i][b]Gender:[/b][/i] Male [i][b]Race:[/b][/i] Human [i][b]Appearance:[/b][/i] Standing at a solid 5 ft 8 inches, one could say Henkan is a bit short for a boy his age. He has a sort of dark teal hair and eyes, red rimmed square glasses and typically wears his school uniform under a lab coat under a blue sports jacket in that order. The metal bits on the side of his face are actually apparatuses which keep his jaw aligned.

That said, Henkan isn't anti-social or unfriednly by nature and is willing to take breaks to have some fun, its just that he prefers to to pursue his own ends most of the time. The fact he tends to be a bit eccentric at times doesn't really help either. [i][b]Abilities:[/b][/i] Henkan is something of a very competent potionmaker, while certainly not top tier like some old masters, his skills are respectable for someone his age. Along side potions he's also a skilled alchemist but he's only ever managed to change iron into silver once, not gold, and has failed to reproduce it since. Some would that's quite the feat for someone like him but Henkan wants more than that, even more than coal to gold; he states he's after something called [i]Kami no nōshō[/i], the Ichor of God. Combat wise, Henkan is much more of a support character who gives out potions to heal and to buff. However he can effectively fill the role of others who are stronger or quicker than him through the consumption of his own potions. [i][b]Skills:[/b][/i] Outside of pure potion stuff, Henkan has proven to be quite the mean chief, his creations often assisted through the use of specialized potions. His most recently gained hobby is clockworks and he sometimes amuses himself by taking apart old clocks and messing around with them. Beyond that, he takes a strange liking to just reading catalogs, namely those of alchemical and potion-making varieties. His hand writing game is also pretty damn on point. [i][b]Brief Backstory:[/b][/i] Growing up as the 4th child of 7, Henkan always had this strange pressure to meet the expectations of what his older siblings could do while also being a role model of the younger ones. Of course, given his family was very respected in the ways of science and magics, this was easier said than done. As a result, Henkan decided to pick up the art of alchemy and potion-making in an effort to find a way to produce the legendary [i]Kami no nōshō[/i], even though many have told him it does not even exist. When he wasn't being tutored at the family, he spent long hours barred in his room, pouring over notes and experiments with supplies that his family's wealth could provide. Of course, he wasn't always successful; in fact one of his experiments nearly killed him and completely screwed up his jaw, forcing him to undergo special surgery that installed special apparatuses that now outline his jaw. When he was of age, he had been sent to Ishikawa Academy so that he would hopefully learn some social skills and not keep ruining the carpet. [/hider]
