[@Sho Minazuki] [hider=William Ascot Cecil] [b]Appearance:[/b] [hider=Hidden for Size][img]https://i.imgur.com/JP39jQn.png[/img][/hider] [b]Name:[/b] William Ascot Cecil [b]Age:[/b] 16 [b]Race:[/b] Human [b]Nationality:[/b] American [b]Personality:[/b] William believes in the principles of hard work and freedom to enjoy the fruits of said hard work but is easily angered by what he sees as the misuse of freedom, which can lead him to some hypocritical actions. The hand he’d been dealt, the hand he’d been given, he plans to use it the best way he can, and overcome those who stand in his way. Upon finding out that Magic was real, and that there was a secret 'Magic World' existing in parallel to Earth, he was much more eager now to learn what he could. The possibilities seem limitless and he knew he can pursue them if he just worked enough... [b]Backstory:[/b] William was born in Chicago, Illinois, to a loving, caring family. He had school, he had friends, he had chores and books and cartoons. Then someone showed him the wonderful world of Anime, and his life changed forever. Life grew brighter and more colorful for him, even as he cultivated more of his existing skills. He found confidence in himself to push on despite difficulty and even asked for placement in advanced classes when it was clear that he can prove himself more intelligent and hardworking than other folks. William wanted to prove himself better than other kids, to be like the protagonists he saw on TV and Crunchyroll. But life was not just about proving oneself better, it was also about being kind and loving and liking other people and earning the right to be liked back. And so he stood up to bullies, got beaten up a few times, and learned to give an equal fight on other occasions. He also realized he was bisexual, liking both boys and girls and eventually dating both on and off. But he didn’t let that distract him from his search for excellence. Then he received his invitation to Silvergate Academy, and after finding out that his education was fully free - A scholarship with as few strings attached as possible - His parents allowed him to go. It was a new challenge in his life, a new chapter. And so, he arrived at Seidoujima Isle and Rindou City, where Silvergate was. And his life changed a second time. For when he entered Silvergate’s halls, he found out that Magic was real and he can wield it, but that he was much weaker than those who actually had [i]lived[/i] in the Magic World and have been trained in it longer than he was. The news was somewhat deflating, especially to someone who was branching out to conventional fantasy, but after a period of sadness, William decided to take a Magic course along with Academic and Martial Arts courses anyway. He would not let being 'untrained' keep him from doing what he loved, nor would he ignore his strengths either. Either he had mastery of his environment or his environment would defeat him!

[b]Independent:[/b] [hider=To be obtained later if possible][i]Pledge of Friendship[/i] - By shaking hands and making a genuine pledge of friendship (No, it’s not required that you haven’t shaken hands before), one can get two benefits: 1.) An extra 10 points in the friend’s highest stat, unaffected by Stat Caps. These stack if multiple friends have the same highest stat. 2.) Access to a weaker version of the friend’s Independent, for example, a pledge with a Beastman friend gives you a weaker transformation. Drawback: These benefits work only as long as the [i]other[/i] person regards you as a friend, meaning that if they perceive you as taking advantage of them, they can cut William off from the benefits of their ‘friendship’.[/hider] (Among your skills both minor and major, you have 15 points to spend) [b]Major Skills:[/b] (Major skills are things such as studies, martial arts styles, masteries, and so on. They’re the foundation of your combat abilities.) Study (Healing Magic): 3 Study (Defensive Magic): 3 School (Kali/Eskrima/Filipino Martial Arts): 5 [b]Minor Skills:[/b] Charger: 1 Multiplier: 1 Iron Will: 1 Iron Body: 1 [b]Spells:[/b] Heal Barrier [b]Techniques:[/b] Triangular Footwork - William treats his feet as two points of a triangle, and his next step as the triangle’s third point. Thus, he is able to prevent his feet from colliding with each other should he have to evade an attack, a mundane but powerful advantage especially when enhanced with Ki. [/hider]
