[b]Personality[/b]:
Asahi is a big guy and tends to have a big presence. Outspoken and dramatic, he might be a popular guy if he ever worked on his image. He’s nice and generous, often helping others or giving them gifts for the sake of giving them away. While he can certainly be patient to a length, he has very little tolerance for ignorance and hate. Despite his bulk he can be quite physical and often uses his sheer size as an advantage to enact violence onto others. Asahi gets bored, and when he gets bored he can sometimes put aside his usual kindness and play pranks and tricks on others, sometimes harmless, sometimes harmful.

Asahi’s constant attempts to befriend others stems from his own self-doubt due to his body image. He personally doesn’t care about how he looks and just wants people to like him for who he is, so he often acts like a fool or tries to be likeable in order to make friends who are willing to look past his meaty shape. Asahi can also come off as very strange, as he’s quite open about his perversions and intentions, even if he should keep them to himself (He often can, but may opt not to do so simply to disturb others). Asahi’s self-doubt also creates contempt towards himself, which he contains but eventually just becomes a fury which has no meaning or direction. There are times when he’s simply angry and wants to hurt people, so does his best to avoid others until he can cool off.
 
[b]Abilities[/b]: 
Asahi has psychic powers that manifests into two forms: Telepathy and Telekinesis. His telepathy allows him to read the thoughts of others, specifically able to filter thoughts in another person’s mind to find what he’s looking for. Asahi can also use this on multiple people at a time if they are near him, and can speak into their minds for wordless communication. If he makes physical contact with them he can even delve into their memories, perceiving it through his own senses. Another lesser known power of his telepathy allows him to traverse into other people’s dreams with some lucid control of himself, but he can only do this when he himself is asleep, and will be forced out if he or the other person wakes up. Asahi lacks a fine control of this power, so he can end up in anyone’s dream without either of them being prepared for it.

Asahi’s telekinesis gets stronger the closer the manipulated objects is to him, and is at it's strongest when he’s touching it. While Asahi’s physical power is within human range, his telekinetic strength is superhuman, capable of tossing and stopping things ten times his weight or strength, allowing him to even fly and levitate with little trouble. His telekinetic powers can also be “Shaped” in his mind, creating physical objects which he can use. These objects are translucent, but he can will them to be completely invisible if he so desires.

As for natural abilities, Asahi is not as fast as he used to be, but he’s still plenty strong and durable. His reflexes are also still top notch, able to see and intercept things moving at great speeds, appropriate for the best batter in school.

[b]Skills[/b]: 
One of Asahi’s most valued skills is his baseball abilities. He’s got a good hand-eye coordination to make decent pitches, the reflexes to catch or hit fast moving balls, and the strength to consistently get homerun hitters (Or at least a base or two). He’s also pretty good at dashing, sliding, and jumping, but he’s not nearly as fast as he used to be due to his additional weight. Still more acrobatic than you’d expect a chubby kid like him to be. Just don’t expect him to place anywhere in a race.

Asahi used to do gymnastic as a kid, but aside from his mad jumps and the ability to do a split, he’s lost a good bit of those skills. He isn’t as flexible as he used to be nor light on his feet. He does have a pretty good sense of balance however, allowing him to stand perilously on narrow points for whatever reason he might have.

Additionally Asahi was always a fan of food, mostly noodles, but also anything with meat. He can serve up anything from a mean bowl of ramen to a stroganoff, BBQ some ribs and hot dogs or make a classy Beef Wellington. He’s not too bad as a sushi chef either and can work with pasta fairly well.

A skill that Asahi likes to use often is his ability to cheat at card and board games, and not even using his powers either (Though they can help immensely). Quick hands and sharp eyes allow him to peek and pocket cards on the table, and he knows how to flick his fingers on the dice to get the numbers he wants. Asahi is just as good cheating at arcade games too, though he usually uses his powers to help him at things like prize grabbers or air hockey. 

Other skills that Asahi has that aren’t really important but no less impressive is his ability to find missing socks and underwear, the speed in which he can brush his teeth and take a shower/bath (Often at the same time), identifying flowers by scent alone, writing stuff down, eat food quickly without getting a stomach ache or making a mess, knit and sew dolls and clothes, fairly resistant to the effects of alcohol (Hates the taste though), counting the amount of change he has in his pockets down to the penny, and applying the price of taxes to his purchases. Asahi also keeps an eye out for deals and collects coupons for everything from groceries to technology and even obscure stuff like exotic pets and fortune telling.

[b]Brief Backstory[/b]: Asahi was born to a couple of otaku parents who wanted their son to be cooler than them. They tried to get Asahi into things like martial arts, gymnastic, cram school, baseball, and other things. Only a few stuck, baseball in particular, but all the things his parents kept making him do made Asahi very stressed and eventually he just chose to quit. Before Asahi was a healthy kid thanks to all the stuff they made him do, but after he quit he started to eat more, shut himself in his room, and gain weight. His parents tried to get him back into shape, but he hated how they kept trying to control him and use him for their own egos. Asahi didn’t have it easy either, as his additional weight gain eventually kicked him off the baseball team (The one thing he kept doing after quitting the other clubs) and got him picked on by bullies at his school. Eventually things took a turn for the worse when one day Asahi followed one of his bullies home and challenged him to a fight in front of his own family, wielding a baseball bat.

Afterwards Asahi and his family had to go through some therapy, and it didn’t take immediately. But after a while Asahi was able to forgive his parents when he realized that they were losers just like he was, and so he tried to go back to school. Of course he couldn’t go back to his old school, so he was transferred to a new school, which turned out to also be a school for magically inclined children. Asahi himself didn’t have any notable magical powers at the time, but after a fateful encounter with a magic cat, he developed psychic powers and started to hone them. When he graduated middle school, he sought out a magical high school where he could further hone his magic abilities and maybe make some new friends. 


[hider=Long Version]Asahi’s parents were a couple of otaku’s who married each other thanks to their similar interests and desperation. Asahi was born out of their liaison, and they wanted him to be “cool” unlike them. This meant that as a child Asahi was often forced into doing things his parents wanted to do but couldn’t themselves, things like joining a gymnastic group, learn martial arts (Mauy thai for some reason), a baseball team, and cram school. Asahi himself tried to like the things his parents made him do, and generally speaking they looked good on paper, but Asahi hated it. He never felt like he could enjoy them because of how much his parents pushed onto him. When he became 13 he had enough and quit most of the things they forced him to do, only staying in the baseball team because he actually liked that.

His parents were heartbroken and Asahi himself didn’t know how to communicate his displeasure. Despite staying on the team, without all the club activities his parents push him into Asahi started to gain weight. He shut himself away from his family to play video games and use the computer, sometimes never even staying at home so they wouldn’t try to guilt him back into the clubs he quitted. As the years went by his health started to take a drastic nosedive, and he became obese at 15 years old. He had many health problems, not to mention his own stress and depression that came with the weight and the subsequent bullying he suffered at school. He often got into fights and was nearly arrested when he went so far as to go to one of the homes of his bullies and called him out to fight in front of his family.

It was only after that incident that his parents relented and tried to talk to Asahi, not wanting him to fulfill their ambitions, but just to be happy. Asahi had a hard time connecting with them as he only saw them as adults who were trying to manipulate him. Family counseling had to be taken, but Asahi was also resistant to this because he didn’t think he was the one with a problem, further perpetuating the trouble. But eventually Asahi’s parents made a breakthrough, using the same love they had for each other to help with their son: Video Games. Asahi’s parents brought each other and him an MMO which they could play together, away from each other even, where they could develop however they like and deal with each other on equal footing. Though it was a slow start, eventually Asahi was able to bond with his parents and grew to understand their own issues, and while he hasn’t quite gotten over it, he is willing to try.

That being said, after the incident where he tried to fight one of his bullies at his own home, Asahi wasn’t allowed to attend the same school anymore, being branded as a delinquent. His parents were outraged, but ultimately chose that it would be best for Asahi to find a new school. As they searched for a school, Asahi often went out into the city trying to think about his future. It was during these excursions that he befriended as strange young man who sensed Asahi’s doubt and low-self esteem. While shady, Asahi and this man grew to be friends, and it was through him that Asahi learned of the magic world.

For this man was no mere mortal, but a bakeneko, with the ability to shapeshift from a magical cat to anything he desired. He had an interest in Asahi because he wasn’t merely another teenage boy who was feeling depressed, but a teenage boy who had fallen into despair but found a way out of it. Or maybe he was just messing with Asahi, it was hard to tell. Either way, the bakeneko introduced Asahi to the magical world, and after getting Asahi’s interest he started to teach Asahi magic. He tried many type to get a feel for them, but the only powers he was able to properly tap into was Psychic powers. Still pretty useful on their own, Asahi began to hone these powers during middle school, which the bakeneko also taught out for students with magic powers. 

It was at the new middle school that Asahi started to change. He became more jovial, friendly, and in some cases even cool. He stood up for the meeker kids but tried to make piece with the bullies. Asahi tried to change himself so be better than the person he once was, but while still being himself too. He joined a video game club and made new friends there, and even tried to get back into baseball. While he never made the team, he still went to the park to play with some kids just to keep in shape. Once he graduated middle school Asahi sought a highschool that could also help him hone his magic, and thus brought him to Ishikawa Academy.
