Yo, place looks interesting. Decided to write up a profile. Although given the magic changes here, I'm not sure how to classify this guy's abilities, if they're acceptable at all. --- [b]Name:[/b] Subhash Bun (文源言) [b]Age:[/b] 17 [b]Appearance:[/b] [img]http://i.imgur.com/OmlfBbog.jpg[/img] [b]Personality:[/b] Subhash is a man who is seemingly always in a state of smiling, nonchalant geniality, a personality trait that makes him almost quite enigmatic (a rather nice little descriptor that tickles his fancy more than either "eccentric" or "mysterious"). He's pretty cheerfully serene most of the time, rarely giving off any tells for any other emotion he could be feeling at any moment, much preferring to just keep on smiling politely (it also really helps with ass-kissing if he needs to do so). Of course, this doesn't stop him from being very involved with other people and [i]their[/i] emotions; he finds humans [i]oh-so-very-interesting[/i], and embarrassingly (well, he says so at least) enough for him, he's a mischievous dude who's a bit fond of lightly teasing others, finding some measure of satisfaction in poking those who aren't really that happy contacting his long, pale fingers. He's very much an independent young fellow, with each undertaken action more or less serving his own desires and purposes. That's probably why, despite a general lack of interest from others, Subhash has a tendency to descend into filibusters on all sorts of strange and varied topics, perpetually crafting monologues upon monologues on the nature of life, the universe and everything, even if their triggers were the most mundane of things. It seems as if he's quite a fan of his own, prodigious talking skills, so it isn't too rare for him to just start talking even when you don't want him to. Of course, that doesn't mean that everything he says is accurate or even representative of his own beliefs; they are equally as likely to be really long-winded jokes or complete and utter bullshit (he's gotten a [b]hang[/b] of this entire lying shebang). Peppered as they are with wild hand gestures, slips into different languages and strange turns of phrase and overly irregular metaphors, you really have to wonder if he takes himself seriously with those speeches. He particularly care much for personal space either, and can be rather "in-your-face" at times. Given his fondness for songs, casual teasing and, from to time, a bit of drama, catching his interest isn't really something the less touchy-feely folks should do. He enjoys amateur philosophy, etymology and long walks on the beach. [b]History:[/b] Despite the Sanskrit origin of one of his given names, Subhash is actually of East Asian descent (although that little tidbit doesn't really explain his fancy hair or non-normative eye colour). Yet it was the presence of this non-native name, however, that assisted him in discovering his powers, as it had promoted in him an interest in the origin and meanings of words (which, as detailed later on, were definitely related to his abilities). As an only child with nothing else to really do (and no siblings to bug), it didn't take long for him to discover that what he said could convey his magic (the only victim was an expensive shrubbery that ended up being set ablaze), doing so pretty early on in his so-far-so-short life. However, he didn't really let the fact that he was some sorta mutant magical abomination get to him, and just lived life doing what he wanted and working towards the goals he sought to achieve. Heading to Four Winds is just another event for him. [b]Skills:[/b] Relatively fit thanks to athletics participation; polyglot; can actually act thanks to theatre classes; he can sew; possible source of wise trivia???; really good on game nights. [b]Abilities:[/b] [i]Phonetics[/i] By speaking out loud and conveying his will through his words, Subhash's magic allows him to add properties to his own body or manifest the energy in some form outside of it. The duration and intensity of these effects tend to correlate with the amount of words spoken, as well as the precise words utilised (as the meaning behind his verbalisations vary), with longer or more detailed words providing a greater effect. However, he is capable of setting "key words" to his magic (and thus reducing the need to speak more) to a maximum of two (eg. "Lightning Kick" could possibly make his kicks hit even harder), and can change them around (although the time required to do so takes a while). [b]Inventory:[/b] Smartphone; voice recorder; large notepad; pens; sunglasses in case of strong sunlight; other necessities.
