God, please no."[/b][/i][/color] [color=FFBF00][b]Name / Nicknames:[/b][/color] [i]Keith Drew Solomon[/i] [color=FFBF00][b]Age:[/b][/color] [i]16[/i] [color=FFBF00][b]Gender:[/b][/color] [i]Male[/i] [color=FFBF00][b]Role:[/b][/color] [i]Meister[/i] [color=FFBF00][b]Special Trait:[/b][/color] Super Soul Perception - Due to his nature, he's easily able to maintain a clear, calm and focused mind. It makes it nigh-impossible to sneak up on Solomon in combat and he's able to see through soul protect and even detect madness. He's even able to pick up and identify different wavelengths with relative ease. [color=FFBF00][b]Strength:[/b][/color] • Tactician: In most circumstances he can keep a cool, rational mind. As such he can form battle-plans in his head. Said plan changes constantly in the heat of battle. • Stamina: He follows a strict training regiment given by his family. As such his stamina is nothing to scoff at, with his exhaustion point being reached much later compared to his peers. • Tenacious: Through sheer will and effort, he's able to achieve things he sets his mind to. He doesn't like giving up as he feels responsible for his family's name. • Drawing: As a hobby, his drawing skill is impressive. [color=FFBF00][b]Weaknesses:[/b][/color] • Slightly inflexible mindset: Though not impossible, once he sets his mind to something, he'll likely push through it. He has a particular dislike for indecisiveness. • Reactive/Defensive Fighting Style: The nature of how he fights is that he waits for enemies to attack him. Though he does attack, it's more to prod their weaknesses or bait them into an attack. Enemies similar to him in style may give him a hard time, so he tries to cover it up with faking killing intent and making them attack. • Inherent laziness: Solomon tries to rid himself of this trait but it's a long fight ahead to do so. In his mind he would rather laze about either drawing or sleeping. He has to wrestle with this trait but it's been getting better. [color=FFBF00][b]Partner:[/b][/color] [i]Arlette Sylvestre - [@CelesteEste][/i] [color=FFBF00][b]Soul Type and Appearance::[/b][/color] [i]An amber soul with a bored look about it. It rarely moves, seeming content with just staying still and not doing anything.[/i] [color=FFBF00][b]Appearance[/b][/color] [i]Keith stands at a decent height of 5'11", a touch taller than others his age- though his slack, lazed posture would lead you to believe otherwise. Despite himself, he is fairly fit and toned, likely due to genes and his family's strict training schedule. He has a rich, caramel complexion, contrasting with his droopy amber eyes that seem to pierce right through you. Keith always sports an indolent look about him, his face usually relaxed into a slight, lazy frown. He argues that this is what his facial muscles morph into when he's not using it. His posture can be summarized as 'pretty bad', as he's usually slouched, laying back or laying down. Keith usually just wears whatever he can get his hands on and is comfortable, this usually translates to a plain white tee, with his signature black and red jacket. Though his fashion can change up depending on the weather, wearing even less during the more hotter seasons. During his first scholastic year, he was generally ignored/overlooked amongst his female peers. This changed, somewhat, due to a formal event that meisters had to attend, as such he was forced to clean up. A few friends helped him look sharp, forcing him into a suit, touching up his hair, and making him to stand upright. After said event a new club about him was formed by a handful of female students which of course he is absolutely oblivious to.[/i] [color=FFBF00][b]Personality[/b][/color] [i]Keith isn't what you would call active, he (used to) lives just to laze around. His general attitude reflects this greatly, always just preferring the 'lazier' way out. He usually speaks in a clear and concise sentences to get his point across quicker. As an adage to this, his tongue can be quite sharp at times. Keith has gotten into trouble with his peers in more than a few occasions due to his rather honest, straight to the point, dialogue. With that said, it is difficult to really get a rise out of or anger Keith, as he usually lets most transgressions roll off his shoulders. Due to this, the way Keith approaches a problem is unique, his motto being 'Solve it as quickly as possible'. He opts for the fastest approach to nailing down a problem so he can go back to 'lazing' around. Now that Keith's pretty much become the 'pride' of his family, he is trying to rid himself of his 'lazier' ways, as he does not want to disappoint his family or besmirch their name- emphasis on trying. He really does want to make his family proud so he's trying to stay more active. Other than that he's surprisingly diligent about his studies, getting A(s) in all subjects. Keith's family makes sure of this, making him deathly afraid of his mother's wrath (due to failing a subject) than not being able to laze around. He also does not mind helping others out (though feigning annoyance), as long as they are willing to help themselves out.[/i] [color=FFBF00][b]Backstory[/b][/color] [i]Keith had his life planned out- Well, not really. Though what little, minuscule life plan he had went up in flames due to the discovery of his rather 'exceptional' wavelength compared to his siblings. His plan was simple; Get through college with whatever degree. Find a nice, comfy 9 - 5 desk job. Come home and laze about and not worry about his parents expectation. To go back and explain, his family is or was one of the most prestigious families of meisters. Keith's great grandfather and his brother were famous meisters in their time. Many in his family were exceptional and a few even famous. Unluckily, his grand-parents AND parents didn't quite have what it took to become exceptional, noteworthy meisters. Despite this, their family still trained religiously, in hopes that one of their children would actually become a powerful meister. Keith's two brothers also didn't make the cut, being a tad below even average meisters. To their complete and utter surprise. It was found that Keith had been the one they were hoping for. His parents simultaneously were pleased and dismayed that their third son, the one least suited, was the one to be bestowed with the 'talent'. Keith agreed with them heavily, he knew that both his brothers were better suited for this but that was the hand that fate dealt. Despite this, his parents offered to not push him through DWMA. Though they tried to hide it, he couldn't bear seeing them disappointed and acquiesced to their wishes, much to their delight. Keith had entered the academy at the age of 11.[/i] [/center] [/hider]
