I would not wish this curse on anyone."[/i][/color] [color=91F6D6][u][b]Name[/b][/u][/color] Phineas "Finn" Kyle [color=91F6D6][u][b]Age[/b][/u][/color] 15 [color=91F6D6][u][b]Physical Description[/b][/u][/color] Finn is, without close inspection, not much different from a typical boy his age. He appears to be something of a late bloomer, as he is somewhat short for his age, and his features are only beginning to transition from being soft and childlike to the hard lines of a man's face. Even so, his build is lean and somewhat athletic, and he is generally strong in the body. His dress sense is causal and utilitarian, typically preferring warm sweaters and other thick, loose-fitting clothes. Finn's skin is quite pale, which matches with his hair that is so fair to be almost white. He has always had blue eyes, but since the awakening of his powers, they have become his most obviously supernatural feature. Beyond the fact that they glow with otherworldly power, his eyes waver in shades between blue and green, and looking into them can sometimes possess one with a sudden sense of vertigo, as though looking over the precipice into an endless abyss. A sort of ethereality surrounds him, and his very presence seems fleeting, as though he was made from mist and light and not flesh and blood. [color=91F6D6][u][b]Important Items[/b][/u][/color] Well aware of the impermanence of time and reality, Finn barely keeps any possessions with him. His powers are drawn from the world around him, and so he needs no specific focus. That, as well as his somewhat spartan upbringing, keep him from being a particularly materialistic person in general. [color=91F6D6][u][b]Short Bio[/b][/u][/color] Finn doesn't speak much about his own past, as he claims that it's an uninteresting subject. However, given the the strange turns his personality has taken since the onset of his powers, he seems to only ever speak in cryptic hints and other vagaries. To that end, he claims to have been born "at the end of the world." He was one of the first of those afflicted by the Records to begin working for the government, and has done so since he was considerably younger. Both of his parents appear to be government employees or affiliates of some kind, and are supposedly scientists. Finn himself seems to be a child prodigy of some sort, given the alarming rate at which he can learn and memorize new information, and possesses a seemingly eidetic memory. Finn performs the duties asked of him without protest, but dispassionately, as his powers have imbued him with an intense sense of ennui despite his young age. [color=91F6D6][u][b]Spell List[/b][/u][/color] [u]High Magic: Knowledge is Power[/u] Finn's mind is a curiosity, in that it can generate magical energy through the process of learning new information. Like equal parts generator and battery, Finn can accumulate power through gaining knowledge, and then store it for later use. Most knowledge he gains adds only an infinitesimal amount of energy, resulting in a slow but constant accumulation throughout his day-to-day life, but lost secrets of the world and particularly burdensome knowledge can add a considerable amount of power in one shot. This acts in addition to the typical mechanisms that govern the power of most magic-users, giving him a generally higher capacity for more power spells. [u]World Magic: Waters of Eternity[/u] Finn can exert control over water, bending it to his will and forming it into various shapes. Moving, "living," water, such as in rivers and waterfalls, is more receptive to his power, and he has great affinity over mist and fog, but seawater, clouds, and steam seem curiously resistant to his influence. He also has some limited control over plants, particularly those with high water content. The most mystic aspect of his power is to weave semipermanent constructs or small servants from mist, which can vary in tangibility as he dictates. [u]World Magic: Secrets of the Earth[/u] By speaking the tongue of the natural world, Finn can learn its secrets. He speaks the language of birds and beasts, interpret the dances of moths, read the scrivenings of starfish, and so on. He has even been known to commune with plants and trees, and in favorable conditions can whisper to wind and to water. This power does not grant him any command over these creatures or forces, but he seems to be generally recognized as one of their own for his ability to commune with them, and he can accept offering of magical power from them. [u]Timespace Magic: Glimpse the Horizon[/u] Finn is a seer, to put it simply. By exerting magical energy, he can gain visions into the past or future. These visions can be relative to a person, a place, or even an object, but the more distant he is from these things or the looser his bond with a person, the more effort it takes to create a prophetic vision. With sufficient knowledge of an place, he can even scry upon its present, allowing him to remotely view an area. Viewing further into the past or future requires an exponentially increasing amount of energy, and so his visions are typically limited to the span of weeks in the past or future. [u]Timespace Magic: Dance of Time[/u] By making himself "desynchronized" from the normal flow of time, Finn can induce a variety of effects. He can alter his perception of time so that his own thoughts and actions occur at a far faster rate than others, alter his position in space-time to teleport over short distances, or induce a sort of chronological disability that renders him intangible and unperceivable by physical means. However, when in this state, his magical power is constantly being drained to maintain it, he cannot use any sort of magic, and cannot truly interact with the physical world in any meaningful sense. Sufficiently advanced use of timespace magic against him will still affect him, or can be used to drag him back into the normal timestream. [u]Timespace Magic: Loom of Fate[/u] Time is ever-moving, and with it, the future is always changing. Finn can "forecast" the future in short bursts, essentially granting him visions of every possible future that can occur within the next five seconds, based on his own actions. Though disorienting if used in succession, and extremely draining on him, it gives Finn a glimpse of the infinite pathways that fate can take based on his own choices. [/center][/hider]
