[color=94ceab][u][b]Nickname[/b][/u][/color] ⚫ Arty. ⚫ Bullet Mage. ⚫ [i]Little Shit.[/i] [color=94ceab][u][b]Gender[/b][/u][/color] ⚫ Male. [color=94ceab][u][b]Age[/b][/u][/color] ⚫ Sixteen. ⚫ [i](Twenty-seven).[/i] [color=94ceab][u][b]Birthday[/b][/u][/color] ⚫ December 1st. [color=94ceab][u][b]Affiliation[/b][/u][/color] ⚫ [color=9e0b0f]The Rikimaru Family.[/color] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/Hsm3zHe.png[/img][/center] [color=94ceab][u][b]Appearance[/b][/u][/color] ⚫ The first thing anyone would notice upon viewing this young marksman would be his petite frame. ⚫ Standing at a meager five feet, with an inch to add, Artemis manages intimidation on par with a puppy. ⚫ Equally so, his scrawny shape with muscles clearly vacant from every limb leaves him weighing a peculiar sixty pounds. ⚫ Artemis displays a color palette of black and green, a theme clearly followed throughout in terms of fashion. ⚫ Jet black hair, mostly unkempt, cover his head, and often finds its way into his large, emerald eyes, unless kept at bay. ⚫ It is common to find Artemis in a beanie, or headband, to counteract this. ⚫ Further down his pale features, the marksman’s eyes display a pair of jade orbs confessing to mischief. ⚫ One would be forgiven for mistaking this creature a teenager no older than fifteen, and Artemis does enjoy using apparent innocence to his advantage. ⚫ Equally so, the marksman expresses androgyny, which alongside an equally genderless voice can make it very difficult to deduce his sex. ⚫ Clearly smaller, and far more petite than your average male, Artemis is aware of his limitations, and attempts to highlight his strengths when possible. ⚫ Artemis often wears a small smile upon pale, slender lips. ⚫ Balancing between mischievous and polite, it can be difficult to deduce which spectrum the marksman aims to convey with his body language. ⚫ In regards to clothing, Artemis is a simple young man. ⚫ Though he tends towards black, and green as his ‘trademarked’ fashion, he feels most at home in casual hoodies, and cargo pants. ⚫ Across his chest, one will pinpoint a strap connected to a shoulder bag. ⚫ Converse shoes are found on his feet, and Artemis claims that boots are too clunky. [color=94ceab][u][b]Personality[/b][/u][/color] ⚫ Laid back, relaxed, and composed, Artemis maintains curiously monotone state of mind. ⚫ Though he is quite the rascal, and clearly enjoys being a ‘little shit’, the marksman retains a calm, collected exterior. ⚫ It has been stated that his almost apathetic approach can be disturbing, but this is usually regarded with a shrug, in turn. ⚫ While Artemis is difficult to read, his ‘poker face’ on full display, a good eye will catch a smirk, or grin, quite often. ⚫ It goes hand in hand with a fun-loving attitude, which dictates Artemis’ many decisions. ⚫ Some may call the marksman impulsive, but that would go against his entire purpose as a rifleman. ⚫ As such, Artemis claims that he does nothing ‘without carefully thinking it through’ first. ⚫ This is a lie. ⚫ Artemis is affectionate towards those he considers close, and awkwardly shy around those he maintains stronger feelings for. ⚫ He may not speak a lot, but rather expresses himself through gestures, instead. ⚫ A fitting word in describing Artemis’ personality is ‘quirky’. ⚫ He is incredibly scared of spiders, and this fear also extends to wasps. ⚫ Artemis is also aware of his many physical restrictions, and is a humble individual. ⚫ The marksman never tries to measure himself against others, but rather, attempts to leave his staple through acting rather than boasting. [color=94ceab][u][b]Likes[/b][/u][/color] ⚫ Guns, Artemis loves guns. ⚫ The marksman enjoys climbing, and adores heights. ⚫ He has a lot of affection for animals. ⚫ As one might expect from a rifleman, Artemis likes ‘toying with his food’, when distance allows. ⚫ Artemis is addicted to energy drinks. ⚫ He is also addicted to candy. ⚫ The one thing Artemis likes more than ‘shooting shit’, is singing. ⚫ Again, being a rifleman, Artemis likes taking his time, and waiting. [color=94ceab][u][b]Dislikes[/b][/u][/color] ⚫ Manual labor, Artemis is a weakling, and he knows it. ⚫ Vegetables are disgusting. ⚫ Insects are gross. ⚫ Artemis doesn’t like standing too close to the big, burly types. [color=94ceab][u][b]Strengths[/b][/u][/color] ⚫ [color=94ceab][i]Marksmanship[/i][/color] 🔷 Artemis displays masterful skill with firearms. 🔷 This is clearly his main, and greatest strength. ⚫ [color=94ceab][i]Mobility[/i][/color] 🔷 Though Artemis is small, it does work to his advantage. 🔷 The boy is quick on his feet, agile, and very elusive. ⚫ [color=94ceab][i]Composure[/i][/color] 🔷 Finally, Artemis is very difficult to fluster. 🔷 He is patient, and can maintain his aim. [color=94ceab][u][b]Weaknesses[/b][/u][/color] ⚫ [color=94ceab][i]Muscles[/i][/color] 🔻 As one might expect, Artemis lacks in physical strength, quite severely. 🔻 Though he can handle heavy recoils, he has nothing to offer in terms of power. ⚫ [color=94ceab][i]Vitality[/i][/color] 🔻 Artemis' small frame isn't just for looks. 🔻 It's also fragile, like a little [i]bitch.[/i] ⚫ [color=94ceab][i]Melee Combat[/i][/color] 🔻 Being a ranged specialist, and lacking in strength, Artemis is useless in melee endeavors. 🔻 He doesn't have the size to make a difference, either. ⚫ [color=94ceab][i]Flamboyance[/i][/color] 🔻 Artemis has no bombastic magical powers. [color=94ceab][u][b]Relationships[/b][/u][/color] ⚫ Artemis had a quiet, secretive relationship with another member of his faction, for a time. ⚫ This relationship did not work out, and the secrecy grew far too exhausting. ⚫ In regards to family, Artemis has very little contact with them. [color=94ceab][u][b]Backstory[/b][/u][/color] ⚫ It might be rather unexpected to see a small, weak, and fragile person in the Rikimaru Family, a faction valuing strength and honor, neither of which Artemis has displayed in any notable fashion. ⚫ However, he has been a member for the past nine years, which warrants a rooted position within the faction. ⚫ Throughout his membership, Artemis has never quite displayed any aspiration to climb the ranks, and appears content with a more laid back daily routine. ⚫ Of course, his ability with the gun was what gave him a position in the Rikimaru Family, to begin with. ⚫ When asked where he came into the possession of his skills, Artemis simply shrugs and claims to have 'been around'. ⚫ In truth, the story is quite simple, and Artemis hails from a military family. ⚫ However, he never had the discipline to follow in his parents' footsteps. ⚫ 'You have all the skills, but none of the drive, and you're about as disciplined as a lazy child,' is an exact quote from Artemis' mother. ⚫ He had a comfortable life, and received a formal education both theoretically, and in practice, but never went as far as to officially join the army. ⚫ Rather, Artemis felt like he belonged somewhere else, and it was made clear that his position as a Rikimaru Marksman was a sure shot. ⚫ This, as one might have expected, did not sit well with his family, considering how both of his parents are military generals. ⚫ 'Why do you waste your potential, like this?', was a repeated question. ⚫ 'Because you don't decide what my potential is,' was a repeated response. ⚫ It is unclear whether Artemis is simply afraid of making himself noteworthy due to his limitations, or if it is, in fact, pure laziness. ⚫ However, if one was to dig deeper, the sentence 'I'm only as strong as my gun, and sometimes, that's scary,' makes itself known.

[img]https://i.imgur.com/iF9Ebte.png[/img][color=94ceab][u][b]Time[/b][/u][/color] ⚫ Each replica is permanent until the Polykinetic allows it to disappear or until another replaces it. [/hider] [hider=🔻 Polykinesis - Weaknesses] [color=94ceab][u][b]Weight[/b][/u][/color] 🔻 The item cannot weigh more than two pounds. [color=94ceab][u][b]Quantity[/b][/u][/color] 🔻 The Polykinetic can Imprint with three items at a time. 🔻 Artemis can create one replica of each item, at a time. [color=94ceab][u][b]Substance[/b][/u][/color] 🔻 The user can only replicate solid items. 🔻 No substances to speak of. [color=94ceab][u][b]Biological Material[/b][/u][/color] 🔻 A Polykinetic of this level cannot replicate anything which isn't inanimate. 🔻 Biological material is beyond their ability. [color=94ceab][u][b]Usage[/b][/u][/color] 🔻 Unlike many other schools of magic, a Polykinetic's powers are entirely reliant on external forces. 🔻 Their abilities cannot further any goals by themselves, as would be the case for a fire slinger or ice breather. 🔻 In other words, the Polykinetic requires an ingredient in the form of an object for their ability to be useful. [color=94ceab][u][b]Integrity[/b][/u][/color] 🔻 A Polykinetic's manifestations can only aid the user as far as the inanimate object he has imprinted with is possibly capable of stretching itself. 🔻 An imprint with a weak item will result in a weak execution. [color=94ceab][u][b]Enchanted Imprinting[/b][/u][/color] 🔻 A very powerful Polykinetic may be able to replicate an enchanted item, but Artemis is not there, yet. 🔻 Currently, Artemis can replicate items with a low-level enchantment on them. [color=94ceab][u][b]Bio-Organic Cellular Duplication[/b][/u][/color] 🔻 Those born attuned to Polykinesis are quite unique in the way that their cells do not split, but rather they replicate. 🔻 A cell deteriorates every time it splits which in turn causes aging. This appears entirely vacant in a Polykinetic's biological construction. 🔻 Additionally, due to this, their bodies are frozen in time and cannot shift, evolve or form in any manner beyond the point of evolving this ability. 🔻 It is highly individual when this ability manifests itself. 🔻 There is no Polykinetic to date which has developed this ability before the age of fifteen. 🔻 This ability is considered a weakness because a Polykinetic is limited to the body they have when developing it. 🔻 Equally so, after this ability manifests, the Polykinetic cannot build muscle, and gain weight anymore. [color=94ceab][u][b]Magical Seal[/b][/u][/color] 🔻 Polykinetics cannot use any other type of magic. 🔻 They are locked to this ability, and their bodies reject casting spells of another sort. [color=94ceab][u][b]Role[/b][/u][/color] 🔻 Polykinesis in itself is harmless. 🔻 It requires the user to implement it into some kind of martial combat. 🔻 Polykinesis is an entirely utility-based ability. [color=94ceab][u][b]Collections[/b][/u][/color] 🔻 Artemis can replicate a gathering of items that are connected, as a single Imprint. 🔻 However, no matter how small the item is, unless Artemis combines it with another object, it will confiscate an Imprint spot. 🔻 Example - Artemis can Imprint with a magazine of bullets, or a single bullet.
