[h2][center] <> [color=f26522]Caleb Temeraire[/color] <> [/center][/h2] [b]Age:[/b] 16 [b]Grade:[/b] St. Laurels 2nd year [h3]Biography:[/h3]Caleb is the best at everything he tries. This is both the sad truth and the absolute standard that he sets for himself. As a child he always had to beat the other children at all the games. If there was a game he wasn't the best at, he would work furiously until he was. His natural talent combined with his determined attitude meant there were few skills he couldn't master, and he quickly climbed through the academic ranks. He was a genius, and he had to be a genius at everything. Time proved to only stoke the fires of his determination, and he set his sights at the top. He would forsake everything, friends and family too, for his goals. That's not to say that Caleb isn't a nice guy. After all, being a nice guy is just one more thing he has to be the best at. He'll go through great efforts to befriend someone, not because he genuinely cares for them but because it's a goal to achieve. Because he has to be the very most popular, and have the very most friends. It's invariably those who get closest to him that discover his toxic core. His smile is calculating, his charm well-measured. And his acts of kindness are performed more to stoke his own ego rather than out of any genuine sense of empathy for others. This world exists for Caleb to test himself. And it's a test he intends to pass. No matter the cost. [h3]Powers: KINETOMANCY[/h3] Caleb's power is twofold, at it's core. Firstly, his ability allows him to absorb kinetic energy from things he's touching or within 5cm of his skin. He can store this power inside of his body. The second aspect of his power is the ability to expel that energy. He uses this to greatly enhance his physical abilities, counter enemy attacks, and to super-charge his punches. -- [b][/b] The force exerted on physical object by gravity is a form of kinetic energy too. As such Caleb can absorb it. This charges him while rendering the object in question weightless, or reducing it's weight greatly. This energy can then be used to propel Caleb, granting him the ability to fly. Or it can be charged to further enhance his physical abilities. Abilities that lose their gravity don't lose their inertia, or their mass. -- [b][/b] This ability allows Caleb to infuse objects with his kinetic energy, instead of expelling it directly from his body. He can use this to enhance weaponry, launch large objects, control the movement of objects he's touching and even to imbue the air around him. He can imbue the air with a large amount of energy to create a concussive explosion, or he can gain more precise control over the air within 5cm of his skin. -- [b][/b] Every part of Caleb's body is a vector for his abilities. His blood, bones, marrow and even his spit count as being part of his body at all times. This means that Caleb's ability keeps his body together when damaged. Even if you were to rip his heart out of his chest, he'd keep the blood in his body moving using kinetic energy control. It's not that he can't be killed, but rather that wounds don't slow him down in the slightest. Combined with his determination, this makes him a tricky opponent to defeat. [h3]Relationships:[/h3] [b]King:[/b] More than anything, Caleb wants to surpass King. To become the greatest fighter in all the schools. King's reputation is exactly the sort of thing that Caleb wants, and he'll stop at nothing to get it. rest is ~WIP~
