[hider=Monty] Name: Montgomery “Monty” Goldberg (Doesn't like being called Montgomery) Image or Description: [hider][img] https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/119b3f35-9219-4dc5-83e0-4a8dd17c4c09.png [/img][/hider] Monty is 5’9”, and he claims he’s still growing. He has short blonde hair which is usually combed off to the side, blue eyes and fair skin. He has a fair amount of muscles from athletics, although he couldn’t be considered ‘buff’ yet. He has a diagonal scar stretching from just below his nose to his top lip, just barely reaching his bottom lip. He prefers to have a clean shaven face. Age: 16 Gender: Male Orientation: Bisexual Mage or Familiar: Mage Magic Type: Light. Monty can manipulate light to make non physical structures and to blind people temporarily. The structures he makes can look almost exactly like real objects with enough skill and time. He can manipulate the wave lengths of light to change its color. He can reflect light away from himself to make himself invisible, however this also causes him to be blind due to the light not reaching his eyes. Like almost all other magic, the light already has to exist, he cannot create light. Known Spells: Summon Partner: Regis Dimitrios Personality: Monty is a very caring and kind individual. He is very extroverted, and a people person at heart. He has a very strong need to nurture others and make them happy. He is a very protective person, and will put himself in danger for those he feels a responsibility for, including strangers. He is very serious about his responsibilities, and he is very dependable for advice or just emotional comfort. He is the very essence of a dad friend, complete with bad puns and refusing to look at maps. He gets most of his personal satisfaction from making others happy, and would give the shirt off his back if it meant someone else benefited. He has a very strong sense of justice, and dislikes discrimination of any kind. Monty likes having a plan in place and sticking to strategy, but he is not inflexible. He is a peacemaker, and dislikes arguments or confrontation, although he is not afraid of it. He is warm and sympathetic, and tries his best to cheer people up. He has a habit of seeing the good in most people, but he disagrees with criminal actions very much. He is also very shy and flustered around mature topics or when being flirted with. Monty is not without flaws though. His trust in authority can lead him to be blind to it’s flaws, and his need to help others can lead to manipulation. He's also very stubborn on things he's passionate about. He’s also a bit of a ‘prude’ at times, and kind of a huge hypocrite about certain things. Monty struggles with both a guilt complex and self esteem issues. The guilt complex comes from his inability to help his sister, failing her in his mind. This causes his belief that if he's not actively helping others, he is useless, which is part of his passion about his future career in the police force. Biography: Monty was born in Maefeld, to Herbet and Batyah Goldberg. His parents raised him and his twin sister, Felicity, in a penthouse in a fairly nice neighborhood. Monty spent most of his childhood sticking to his sister, constantly trying to reassure her of her beauty. This however meant that he failed to make many real friends elsewhere, leading to him being dependent on Felicity, as well as very excited about making new friends, to the point where he overlooks red flags in favor of acceptance. He feels incredibly guilty for his sister’s downwards spiral, blaming himself for not doing more to comfort her, and most of his early childhood was spent with a lingering feeling of helplessness in that regard. He was excited when his sister was able to feel confident with makeup, but he realized that her dependence on it was still ultimately damaging to her self image. He feels helpless in that aspect, as he can’t say anything that will make his sister see herself as others see her. This causes him to be very protective of not only his sister, but others with low self esteem. He got the scar on his lip when he was 8. He decided that in order to show solidarity to his sister, he should give himself a scar there too. He tried using a rock, and ended up knocking his front teeth out. He got the scar though, so even though he was crying and in pain, he still managed to excitedly show his sister. She was not impressed. Monty was raised by his parents to be a ‘gentleman’, for lack of a better word. He and his sister were taught about the importance of kindness and politeness, and he takes those teachings to heart. Monty became very interested in the justice system, and decided from an early age he wanted to be a part of it. He dreams of being able to protect people from others and themselves. Monty knew that St. Fortuna’s Academy is the best high school in all of Prydain, and he decided that if he wanted to make a difference in the world he would have to get into St. Fortuna’s. He works very hard to keep his grades up and his record clean. When Felicity decided to enroll with him, he was excited for both of them. This way his sister could flourish, and he would be able to keep an eye on her. Likes: His sister, making friends and meeting people, sweets (especially chocolate), bad puns, motorcycles, gardening, newspapers, JUSTICE, feminism, helping old ladies across the street, cooking, comic books and dogs. Dislikes: Crime (he understands that crime has a reason, he does not hate the criminals themselves, unless in situations such as murder and assault), perverts, rude people, oranges, loud smells, getting directions, messiness, feeling helpless and frogs. Points: 5 Proficiency: 2 Intelligence: 4 Athletics: 4 Misc.: He disapproves of his sister’s love of bad boys, but will never mention he has a thing for bad boys and girls too. She knows anyway. He has a tendency to call everyone younger than him kiddo, and will scold you for swearing. He let’s his sister practice her make up and/or fashion on him.
