A biological process beyond the the conception of man. What do you see?"[/i] Short for his age, with a slight build and soft, almost effeminate features; Jin is often mistaken for being younger than he really is. His features are blended between Asiatic and Caucasian, making his ethnicity difficult to distinguish at a glance. His dress sense is incredibly simple, usually wearing only an oversized hoodie, shorts and sneakers. His skin is soft, fair and unblemished, and his hair is so light and silky that in certain lighting it almost seems blue. Even so, he is not an albino, as his eyes are emerald green in color. When his abilities activate, Jin's eyes literally illuminate with power, and light dances about him peculiarly, making him appear ephemeral, like a being not of this world. _________________________________________________________________ [/center] [b][color=7bcdc8]Codename:[/color][/b] Nova [b][color=7bcdc8]House:[/color][/b] The Squids [b][color=7bcdc8]Grade:[/color][/b] 10th [b][color=7bcdc8]Age:[/color][/b] 16 [b][color=7bcdc8]Gender:[/color][/b] Male [b][color=7bcdc8]Sexuality:[/color][/b] Grey-Asexual [b][color=7bcdc8]Birthday:[/color][/b] 7 July [b][color=7bcdc8]Blood Type:[/color][/b] O+ [b][color=7bcdc8]Nationality:[/color][/b] Japanese ___________________ [b][color=7bcdc8]Hobbies:[/color][/b] [list] [*] Classic Literature [*] Astrology [*] Astrophysics [*] Electrical Engineering [*] Computer Programming [*] Occult Metaphysics [*] Comic Books [/list] [b][color=7bcdc8]Personality:[/color][/b] Jin is a strange character, not well understood by his peers. His thoughts seem to operate on a different level, or axis than that of most people. While he seems perfectly reasonable to himself, others find him incredibly odd and difficult to interact with. Likely related to this is his incredible level of intelligence, likely easily classified as that of a genius, though he refuses to have his IQ tested. Jin is somewhat lacking in social graces, and will usually say exactly what he is thinking, with no consideration to tact or politeness. Prone to non-sequiturs and strange emotional reactions, Jin has learned that he often rubs off on people the wrong way, and as such limits his social contact. It's a bit lonely, but it's for the best, as he sees it. His expression is usually stoic and neutral, and he rarely speaks unless spoken to. These factors combine to give him the image of a strange, outlandish loner. Despite his isolationist tendencies, Jin is a perfectly sociable young man. Though he has a hard time picking up on social cues, he likes other people well enough, and is surprisingly friendly, open and generous when one takes the time to get to know him. [b][color=7bcdc8]History:[/color][/b] Jin had a fairly normal childhood. At least, from what he can remember of it. His father, Japanese, was a nuclear physicist who sumo wrestled as a hobby. His mother, half English and half Russian, was a kind-hearted and soft-spoken geneticist. Beyond that, things are fuzzy for Jin. He seems to be suffering from a degenerative neurological condition in recent years, which has had severely adverse effects on his memory. Jin can remember that his parents are still alive, but not where they are or why they never contact him. He can remember that he has not always lived at Star Ocean Academy, but not where he actually lived beforehand. He speaks five languages, but he doesn't know when or why he learned them. Is he an only child? Also a mystery. Almost no records exist for him, as such the school knows just as much as he does about his past: very little. That said, Jin's most consistent memories start at his enrollment at the Academy. He has excelled at his studies with little effort, and his power training his proceeded smoothly. Whatever Jin was doing before he enrolled at the Academy involved rigorous training with his powers, and as such the school's curriculum came quite naturally to him. Despite his academic success, Jin's strange personality and mannerisms have not earned him many friends. The aura of an "elite" follows him, not due to any deliberate effort of his own, driving others further away. Jin is seen as an enigma by his peers; the strange and mysterious ionokinetic, an eccentric genius without a past. Given his overt lack of a social life, Jin devotes his time to extracurricular studies. That is to say, he spends a lot of time holed up in his dorm room with books and computers. He researches the physics that fuel his powers in order to give him better insight into how to control them and circumnavigate his weaknesses. He builds and programs computers as a relaxation hobby, though he rarely makes much progress as accidental discharges of his powers frequently fry his electronics. The occult also holds a certain mystique to Jin, and he reads up on a broad variety of related topics, from religion, to augury, shamanism, to chaos magic. When in need of simpler pleasures, Jin reads through his vast collection of trade paperbacks, manga volumes, doujinshi, graphic novels, "alt comix," and indie Euro-comics. That, or he scrounges together a working computer and proxy server to trawl obscure imageboards and darknet forums for secret restaurant menus, visual novel programming engines, conspiracy theories implicating Prime Minister Abe being a reptilian, and other such miscellany. ___________________ [b][color=7bcdc8]Current Classification:[/color][/b] Starborn (Orion Candidate) [b][color=7bcdc8]Special Ability:[/color][/b] Jin's ability is classified as "ionokinesis," or the ability to generate and manipulate ionized and excited gases, generally known as plasmas. The rarest form of matter on Earth, and yet the most common in the universe, plasma is found in such entities as fire, lightning, auroras, stars, nebulae and novae, among others. Fairly skilled with his powers, Jin can fairly easily ionize gases and other elements in his environment to create plasma, and manipulate it very effectively without an excessive need for concentration. [b][color=7bcdc8]Imperfection:[/color][/b] The generation and manipulation of plasma by Jin's powers leaves an overabundance of ionized free electrons in an area, increasing as his powers are used in the general area. This can have a variety of effects, depending on the severity of the electron overload. On a small scale, electronics can malfunction and short out, suffering effects similar to that of an electromagnetic pulse. At a large scale, Jin can generate an electrostatic buildup comparable to a thunderstorm, essentially inducing a localized lightning storm in his immediate surroundings. These phenomena are creatives passively and unintentionally by Jin, who has little to no control over them. As greater phenomena emerge from extended usage of his powers, Jin generally has to devote effort to defending himself and others from the "backlash" of his abilities. ___________________ [b][color=7bcdc8]School Clubs:[/color][/b] [list] [*] Going-Home Club [/list] [b][color=7bcdc8]Character Relations:[/color][/b] [list] [*] TBA [/list] [b][color=7bcdc8]Other:[/color][/b] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sZov4vQ9zM]Feint - Horizons[/url]
