[B]Name:[/B] Eden Verne Wells [B]Appearance (If you use a photo, please keep it SFW)*:[/B] [IMG]http://imageshack.us/a/img853/1663/u71y.png[/IMG] [B]Sex:[/B] Male [B]Age: [/B]13 [B]Nationality: [/B]American [B]Equipment: [/B]Mage's staff, smartphone, first aid kit, snacks. [B]Powers/Abilities (If applicable)[/B]: To know what Eden's powers are, a short explantion for how his school of Magic works is in order. Basically, Eden knows two kinds of Magic: Imagination Magic, which is really powerful, but also [I]temporary[/I]; when the Mage stops concentrating on the results, they fade away. This applies to even Death; the moment the Magi stops concentrating on what he does, even death is reversed. A way around this is to use Imagination Magic to manipulate something that aleady exists, such as weapons or water, and move them away. You can also use Imagination Magic's temporary nature for self-transportation, or to hide oneself from people. Also, divination. The second type of Magic is Ritual Magic, which allows you to make Imagination Magic's effects permanent. Eden knows only one type of Ritual: Healing. Basically, Eden can use word+gesture combinations, potions, or even just hide his rituals under the guise of first aid in order to make his healing permanent. [B]Skills:[/B] History, Literature, some Politics. [B]Bio:[/B] Eden was born to the a family belonging to Church of St. Photius, a denomination that asserted that the Biblical Ban on Witchcraft only applied to those who practiced, or profited from (directly or indirectly), Human Sacrifices and talking with Eldritch Horrors. Oh, and certain liberal policies that would make Reverend Katherine Jefferts Schori and Desmond Tutu proud. But enough controversy. Point was, Eden was able to believe in God and practice Magic without guilt, and had parents who were able to raise him to do both, both being Magi. Blah, blah, blah, I'm sure you also don't want to hear about his 'genius' and precocious intelligence, so let's not talk about that. Nevertheless, Eden had a happy life,and he wanted to extend that happiness to as many people he could help, and so he became a superhero. [B]Quote: [/B]"Artillery Incoming!"

[B]Powers/Abilities (If applicable)[/B]: Temporary/Imagination Magic - Exactly as it says on the Tin; Daniel can set stuff on fire, turn people into frogs, change shape and size, and a lot of other things, just by concentrating on them. However, once he stops concentrating, everything he does, including Death, is reversed. However, a way around this can be found by affecting something that already exists - for example, lifting a person several dozen meters into the air, then dropping him. Ritual Magic - The ability to make Temporary/Imagination Magic permanent through means of a ritual, which is either a word+gesture combination, the creation of magical potions using alchemy, or even just a more elaborate version of mundane actions, like first aid. Unlike Eden, Daniel knows a broader range of rituals, specializing in Destruction, Summoning, and Weak Healing. [B]Skills:[/B] Composing Music, Business, Painting. [B]Bio:[/B] [B]Pre-Time Travel:[/B] Raised by Fundamentalist Parents, Daniel ran away to Eternity City to find a job as soon as he was 18, working in menial jobs until he got accepted in a Musical School where he learned composing, and began a small career in making music, although at first, he was reluctant to sell to religious groups in general. This changed when he met Deborah Verne, a member of the Church of St. Photius, a strange, but well-established organization dating from the 1900s, when Photius I of Constantinople*, aka St. Photios the Great, was debeatified from the Eastern Orthodox Church due to his ties with Magic and the Occult being discovered**. This was opposed by a minority of believers and converts, a schism that grew wider when the Angel Ramiel himself intervened and supported said minority's secession from the Orthodox Church. But enough history. Either way, Daniel and Deborah met, fell in love, and Daniel began getting interested in Religion again, finally converting into the Church of St. Photius. In time, Daniel also began learning Magic from his wife, and, while he was never as good as her or their future son, he was still pretty adept. Finally, however, the two people had Eden, and Daniel found himself coping with the fears and hopes that accompanied being a parent... *[URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photios_I_of_Constantinople[/URL] **If anyone's offended by this, remember, it's an alternate history where the OTL rumors regarding St. Photius/Photios and the Occult were true; in our world, these were mere lies and slanders spread by the superstitious. In this Alternate Universe, however, most myths are true. [B]Quote: [/B]"I have a family; I have a community that affirms me. I have possessions in moderation, and I have magic and people who won't judge me for it. I am truly blessed."
