Alright, and here's Jeremy! I don't know if I made part of it make less sense, it's now officially [i]too[/i] late for my brain to work properly.

His hair has greyed, with very little of the light brown that used to be present remaining. His eyes are a grey-green shade, and have a distinct, tired look to them. However, a height of 6'4" and decently muscular physique might still make him seem rather intimidating to anyone who doesn't recognize him as a D-rank hero.[/INDENT] [color=96EACE][B][ PERSONALITY TRAITS ][/B][/color] [INDENT] Tired Quiet Analytical Sarcastic Smartass Passionate about teaching [/INDENT] [color=96EACE][B][ BIO ][/B][/color] [INDENT]Jeremy's story is a long one, too long to be told in one sitting. A story filled loss, regret, and failure. Always staying in the background, both to try and raise his friends up and to hide from the eyes of old enemies, he's a man who has gotten used to hiding his true self. Oh sure, there were good times, even [i]great[/i] ones! Days he wished would never end, surrounded by friends who not only understood him, but [i]accepted[/i] him despite his many flaws. However, whether it be his parents, his childhood friends, or the love of his life, he always found himself unable to protect the things he cherished the most. Still, he couldn't give up, no matter how much he wanted to. They'd never have forgiven him if he had. Instead, he abandoned his reputation and allowed himself to fade into obscurity once more, now working primarily as a teacher at the Academy of Junior Heroes. Even with all his losses, helping the next generation reach their true potential never fails to give him at least a little bit of hope that things could be better, even if many students don't seem to have any respect for someone with as little to his name as [i]him.[/i] Occasionally though, Director Steel will contact him with tasks specifically suited to his particular skillset, often in the form of either investigation, or elimination. It is one such mission he is returning from now, having spent a full [i]two years[/i] wandering the country and discreetly gathering information on a new potential threat. It just so happens that just after the first year, he met a young man with hopeful eyes, and in a stir of emotions he had been worried he may no longer have, offered to take him and his siblings back to Castleburg. There, he could give the boy the chance to become what he had failed to be. The chance to be a hero.[/INDENT] [color=96EACE][b]| MISCELLANEOUS |[/b][/color] [indent]Despite the members of his former hero team knowing his identity and past deeds, their children do not, as it is considered classified information by HERO. As such, many of them hold little in the way of respect for their teacher, and cannot understand why their parents have such high opinions of him.[/indent] [b][u][color=96EACE]ABILITIES[/color][/u][/b] [color=96EACE][B][ RANKING ][/B][/color] [INDENT]D[/INDENT] [color=96EACE][B][ POWERS ][/B][/color] [INDENT]Jeremy is a magus, a person who wields the power of runes. All of existence is built upon a force known as the Code, which as the name implies, functions as something like the code of a computer program. Magi use runes from various ancient languages to manipulate this code, inscribing them in complex arrays to add, remove, or alter various effects to whatever they're written on. It is an extremely dangerous power to wield, and even a slight mistake in the writing process, or the smallest incompatibility between runes used in the arrays, can cause a paradox that results in the array, along with an amount of space around it dependent on the size and complexity of the array, will be completely erased from reality. However, to someone who has dedicated themselves to the craft as intensely as Jeremy, this is rarely a problem. He has become exceedingly skilled at the art of thaumaturgy, the many unpredictable perils of his life forcing him to push well beyond what other magi his age have attempted. [/INDENT] [color=96EACE][B][ PHYSICAL STRENGTH ][/B][/color] ■■■□□□□□□□ 3/10 Jeremy's strength is barely above what a normal person can achieve, being incapable of reinforcing his own body with runes as many other magi can due to the mistakes of his past. [color=96EACE][B][ AGILITY ][/B][/color] ■■■□□□□□□□ 3/10 Although he's trained himself to be as mobile as possible, his body is still just that of a normal human. [color=96EACE][B][ INTELLIGENCE ][/B][/color] ■■■■■■■■□□ 8/10 Unfortunately, Jeremy is actually rather inept when it comes to many normal academic subjects. However, when it comes to things like magic, combat tactics, and analysing opponents, he could easily be called a genious. [color=96EACE][B][ DESTRUCTIVENESS ][/B][/color] ■■■■■■■■□□ 8/10 If armed with the right runes ahead of time, Jeremy can cause a devastating amount of destruction in a relatively short amount of time. Not that he [i]would,[/i] of course, but between explosive arrays and transmutation arrays, he definitely [i]could.[/i] [color=96EACE][B][ LETHALITY ][/B][/color] ■■■■■■■■■□ 9/10 Though he would still rather avoid it when possible, killing others seems to be Jeremy's specialty. Runes make it easy. Runically enchanted firearms make it easier. It's a talent he's cultivated over nearly forty years, and he gets the depressing feeling that isn't going to change any time soon. [color=96EACE][B][ ENDURANCE ][/B][/color] ■■■■■□□□□□ 5/10 While Jeremy can enchant his clothing to withstand certain attacks, and even bullets to a degree, it's entirely possible for stronger powers to break through these defences. [color=96EACE][B][ EFFICACY ][/B][/color] ■■■■■□□□□□ 5/10 Though not [i]strictly[/i] necessary, most runes generally need to be written using the casters blood, or an ink made with it mixed in. The less blood used for the runes, the less powerful the effects will be. As Jeremy, like most humans, only has a limited amount of blood, he usually has to prepare runes ahead of time when he's safe, and then bring them out only when he [i]definitely[/i] needs them. It unfortunately results in fairly common anemia.
