[b]Age:[/b] 16

[b]Race:[/b] Human

[b]DOB:[/b] October 23, 2000

[b]Occupation:[/b] Student and book store clerk.

[b]Background:[/b] Saito was orphaned when he was still an infant. He doesn't know who his parents are or why they put him up for adoption; he just knows the orphanage he grew up at. Saito was always a meek and quiet child, and as such, the other more boisterous children ran over him. When he wasn't being bullied, he was ignored, and so he turned to the small library that the orphanage had for solace. When his chores were done, he read. When the other children played, he read. And when it was time to go to sleep, he sneaked a book into his bed and read. When he finished all the books, he read them again. Saito didn't care what subject the books were on. Fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, history, he read them all, and he scored very highly on aptitude tests despite his lack of parental guidance and weak formal education. 

When his powers manifested, he wasn't sure what to make of them. He knew that none of the other children had them, and all he had to go on was one history book that mentioned the magic war. At first, he did his best to keep his magic to himself, experimenting with it only when he was sure he was alone. When he received the letter, though, he was equal parts intrigued and terrified. If this was true, he would be given an opportunity to learn with people like him. On the other hand, he could just be walking into a whole new nest of people looking to walk all over him again. In the end, he decided he didn't have much to lose by giving it a try.

[b]Magic:[/b] Metal magic. Saito is able to refine pure metals from surrounding ores. He can manipulate metals with his hands as if they were clay, and he has limited telekinetic control over metallic objects. He is not yet very confident in his abilities, as everything he knows about them was discovered without any help. 

[b]Magical Equipment:[/b] A vial of iron filings that he uses to quietly practice with. [/hider]
