[hider=William Ascot] [center][IMG]http://i63.tinypic.com/2qtdf29.jpg[/IMG][/center] [i][h3]Name:[/h3][/i] William Ascot, or just Ascot. [i][h3]Age:[/h3][/i] 16 [i][h3]Grade:[/h3][/i] 2nd Year, St. Laurel's school of Academic Excellence. [i][h3]Biography:[/h3][/i] William Ascot was not born to wealth, but nor was he poor either. He lived in the comfortable middle, although he and his family had an ability that could have gotten them immense wealth and power had they been interested in it. They were not, as they preferred the simple pleasures of life, like parks, walks, and (for Ascot's parents) a good scrap from time to time. For Ascot's family, the, well, Ascots, were blessed by the God of Stories with one purpose in mind: Record the ongoing story of Humanity. Of course, this meant documenting not just the good things that happened in life, but also countless tragedies, accidents, and misunderstandings. So being human, the Ascots 'creatively reinterpret' their orders to allow them to 'modify', 'alter', or even 'outright rewrite' said stories to get a happier ending. The God of Stories never complained about this meddling in the history of humanity, as long as the Ascots did not take all the spotlight for themselves or take control of everyone and everything in a burst of megalomania. After all, sometimes, maybe the Ascot's 'revisions' of the script made for a happier story where those who worked for a happy ending [i]earned[/i] them. Either way, Ascot was an ordinary kid in St. Laurens whose only special trait was being in the library most of the time, as he had a special pass that allowed him to skip several class periods to spend in the library. Then Alto was defeated by that Clara woman, and Ascot had a sneaking suspicion that he had fallen in love with her. Whether that was true is immaterial; what [i]is[/i] true is that there was a story that lurked behind the antagonism beteween St. Laurel's and Mephisto's School. And so he will seek out that story, and 'guide' it to a heartwarming conclusion... [i][h3]Powers:[/h3][/i] [B]Core Power - Narrative Role of Familiarity:[/b] To get a story, sometimes one has to get close to people. This power makes doing that easier by making people think William Ascot is part of their inner circle. For example, Ascot can use NRoF to give himself the 'Narrative Role' of 'Student Council Member', making people beleive that Ascot is genuinely part of the Student Council. He can also make himself seem as though he were a Mephisto's School for the Wicked Student, or a senior member of the Vigilantes. It is even rumored that Ascot has already done so a few times to discover needed information. That said, there are drawbacks: Narrative Role of Familiarity does not alter one's abilities, powers, or physical capabiliites. That means that you can make yourself part of a paratrooper unit yet not be able to use a parachute right. Or join a world-class chef competition yet not be able to cook. So Ascot has to be careful. Not just that, but Anti-Magic can break NRoF when Ascot is touched by someone with this power. [B]First Power - Existing Role Duplication Technique:[/b] When William Ascot sees a power used, he can store the knowledge of how said power works in his head temporarily. This means that for every time Ascot sees a fireball being used or a bolt of darkness being launched, he can copy said fireball or ball of darkness as many times he had seen it used. Of course, this is limited; if Ascot witnesses a fireball being used six times, he can only launch fireballs six times. Not just that, but [I]Ascot cannot copy Core and Third Powers.[/i] [b]Second Power - Area Interrogation Method:[/b] Ascot can go to the highest part or lowest depth of a building, and conjure up the Spirit of the structure to answer any questions the boy has about what went on in any part of the area, including the grounds included as part of the legal property. Of course, the drawback to this is that it'd be risky for him to go to the top or bottom basement of say, Mephisto's School/St. Lucifer's. [b]Third Power - Nakama Dedication Technique:[/b] William Ascot draws together a close group of friends, which may or may not include himself, and blesses them with the power of the God of Stories. As long as they remain friends dedicated to a purpose the God of Stories deems sufficiently important, they become luckier, stronger, and faster as long as they keep trying to fulfil said purpose. However, there are two drawbacks. One, if you abandon your purpose or your friends, you become un-luckier, weaker, and slower; the effects of this last for a vague amount of time determined by the GM. Two, if the close group of friends voluntarily disbands, the effects end, but without further reprecussions. [i][h3]Relationships:[/h3][/i] [b]Alto Ganze[/b] - I believe he is in love with Clara. [b]Clara Deimos Edrigan[/b] - She hates him, obviously, but hate can change... [b]King[/b] - I want to know more about him! [/hider]
