His hair is close cropped and bleached strawberry blonde. Both his ears are pierced but often he is seen with only one silver loop earring on his right. His clothing tastes lean to expensive streetwear with casual, loose silhouettes. Oversized tees and chunky sneakers are a staple. His arms are decently muscular from long days at the workshop but his mid-twenties have placed some flab on his stomach. His resting expression is an absent, almost sullen frown. [hider=Magical] [img]https://puu.sh/I8Fa1/700124d76e.png[/img] By the will of [i]Il Divino[/i] himself, Rim's magic transforms him into a living work of art, rendering him into the human body's most natural state of being: complete nudity. The only relief granted to him is a long, white cloth that gently floats around his person and the silk tassels that hang from his ears. Rim's hair grows to a little shorter than shoulder length and turns into a more natural blonde, specks of glitter seeming to shine across his locks. His eyes turn blue and are bordered by a shimmering golden eyeliner. Despite all this, Rim is not granted the chiseled physique of David in this form. [/hider][/hider][/center] [indent][color=fdc68a][b]Age:[/b][/color] 26 [color=fdc68a][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Rim is a man that holds himself with a quiet strength, passion that he has no intention on using for the sake of others. While a younger him may have had some sharp words (and heavy fists) against the injustices he'd encounter, the Rim of today finds that most people aren't really worth the effort. Everyone he meets is kept at arms length, crept around until they pass an invisible trial. Even then he is curt at best, at worst outright ignoring them. In a landscape of magical children and ugly territorial disputes, neutrality is golden. Rim will go to great lengths to preserve it for himself and the people in his inner circle. He holds his temper well with people he does not approve of, with the exception of his family. Rim also considers himself measured and difficult to fluster but with... recent events being the way they are... Well. [color=fdc68a][b]Background:[/b][/color] Rim will insist that he’s satisfied with his life. Although pressured into a BMX career by his father for almost all his adolescent years, a particularly rough final year of high school gave him the excuse he needed to leave the professional circuit. Currently, he spends his days juggling himself between selling bike parts and getting the family trade (the first one) hammered into his skull by his grandfather. There is never a dull moment at Tokyo Steel – BMX and Bowls, nor a silent one with all sounds of clanging metal and generations of family resentment in the shared Suginami store space. He lives in a penthouse suite in the neighboring Setagaya ward, afforded by convincing his grandfather to make a pivot to crafting lab equipment for anyone that can afford their hefty prices. On paper, the Mikagura brand technology is made of a family secret alloy that increases the potency of whatever is brewed or cultivated in the vessels. In reality, Rim makes sure that non-magical customers don’t overstep their bounds and ask too many questions, all while making a decent buck. It’s a lot of work, keeping an eye on the magical climate, territorial disputes, the temperaments of other mage families, etc. The situation with the magical girls in particular is what made him refuse a patron’s call a number of times. It was just not worth getting involved in. Until five days ago. Police are still urging people to come forward with any information about a naked blonde man seen fleeing a Shinjuku drug raid. [color=fdc68a][b]Patron:[/b] [i]Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni[/i][/color] [color=fdc68a][b]Patron Tool:[/b][/color] A plumb bob – a pointed weight of polished gold attached to a string. There seems to be Latin script engraved around it and glowing lightly, but Rim has not cared to decipher it. [color=fdc68a][b]Patron Weapon:[/b][/color] A naginata with a blade shaped like a chisel. The blade takes up approximately half of the weapon’s length. [color=fdc68a][b]Patron Aspect:[/b][/color] Foundational Shape [color=fdc68a][b]Aspect Magic: [/b][/color] [indent][i][color=fdc68a]Primitive[/color][/i] - Rim is able to generate perfect marble spheres of varying sizes. They are the only decent shape he can make. Cubes are also an option but they come out with soft, misshapen edges. He can summon them partially clipped into preexisting objects, the result will be a sphere missing the parts where it was in contact. For example, Rim can summon a sphere halfway through the ground to produce just a hemisphere. The object in contact is unaffected. His summons have the durability and general qualities of standard marble. [i][color=fdc68a]Primary Form[/color][/i] - By plunging his blade into a volume, Rim can gradually compress and reshape the silhouette of an object into what he sees in his mind's eye. It can take him several minutes to several hours depending on the extent of his work. This skill does not increase or reduce the volume of an object. He has great difficulty shaping the object outwards from its initial silhouette and there is a limit to the amount of volume he can reshape. This skill seems to work best against types of stone and metal. [i][color=fdc68a]Sacra Sindone[/color][/i] - The thick, silken cloth that hovers around his being. It seems impervious to tearing or cutting. To Rim's chagrin, tying it into place or wrapping it around himself doesn't make it remain in place for long. It will gradually loosen itself back into its floating, usual shape. The cloth appears to have some innate danger sense when Rim is in the heat of battle, sometimes finding itself between the mage and a rough landing. It won't break his fall but it will at least mitigate some road rash.[/indent] [color=fdc68a][b]Other skills: [/b][/color] [indent]Despite everything, he still dabbles in BMX tricks from time to time. Has a motorcycle license and a Bachelor of Science from Tokyo Metropolitan University. Begrudgingly, he does intend on continuing the family craft for his own ends.[/indent] [color=fdc68a][b]Other Mentions: [/b][/color] [indent]His favorite food is kakigori. His favorite band is The Blue Hearts.[/indent][/indent] [/hider]
