[b]??? | Rohan | He/Him [/b][hr//][i]"You'll figure everything out eventually. Everyone does."[/i][/center][/cell][cell]
[b]Description:[/b] 
[indent]About five years ago, a man found his way to St. Portwell. He kept his head down and avoided the paranormal groups in the city, and started leaving flyers on telephone poles and street corners for woodworking services. Flooring, roofing, a fix for a broken cabinet, anything that didn’t require paperwork and paid. He was content to nickel and dime his way around without much fuss, but an accident with his magic, he found himself chasing down a small wooden creature that sprang to life and ran off on him. Chasing the tiny creature down to avoid a predicament, the man encountered Octavia of the 317.

A fight broke out, thanks to Octavia’s temperament. After everyone calmed down, the man simply introduced himself as “Rohan,” saying he accidentally created the creature he was chasing. Octavia was impressed by the golem’s sophistication, and decided to welcome Rohan to the 317. He readily accepted, since he had been living out of an old Toyota Corolla until then. After he moved in, Rohan started producing magical works of craftsmanship for a living, and applying his trade to the mundane world when possible.

The story that Rohan tells others, should they ask, is that he is a second generation Japanese American, whose parents came over before he was born. He doesn’t talk to them anymore, but does give out the names of his actual parents when asked. When asked about his name, Rohan says that it was an old nickname he got after getting drunk as a kid, when it’s really just a fake name to escape his old life. Rohan is known in the 317 to have not a single evil bone in his body. Always patient with others, always gentle with his worlds, and he never has anything bad to say about anybody. Rohan is everyone’s friend, and always listens when someone is going through something.

[b]Abstraction:[/B] Afflicted | [i]Namiki’s Last Laugh[/i]
[indent]Rohan was cursed by a very old creature known as Namiki. He was a tree spirit that rebelled in conspiring against mortals, and setting up schemes that ended in them sealing their own fate. In essence, he was a wicked trickster of the forest, and some rumors said that his plots allowed the forests of Japan to flourish in spite of human development. Rohan was a special case, as he managed to outwit Namiki just barely enough to injure him gravely. At least, Rohan [i]thinks[/i] he outsmarted the tree spirit, as Namiki is now a pile of ashes in the wind.

Rohan’s Abstraction consists of magical properties, and physical changes to his body that can be seen by the blind. Any object he makes out of wood, such as a new door or a wooden box, possesses some innate magical ability. Rohan cannot make something out of wood that doesn’t have magical power, but he can influence [i]what[/i] effect it has. Often, he will focus on willing things to be supernaturally sturdy when he doesn’t need something fancy. This prevents things from being broken, but also prevents the blind from suddenly having fruit grow from their new kitchen cabinets.

There are patterns and certain creative concepts that Rohan has figured out, which he can use to further specify the magical properties he wishes to create in something. An example of this is his Ashen Scepter. It is a wooden staff with bands of metal at both ends, made from [url= https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/710908524602851461/1221836450648297492/image0.jpg?ex=661406de&is=660191de&hm=2e28cc65555b5e73ba8a703533f03f9fc6fbe783537164d073269f2cdd2888d5&]charred ash wood.[/url] Ironically, it can spew a stream of fire capable of burning away virtually any mundane material it comes into contact with, such as metal or stone. Other examples include carving the likeness of an apparition into a box for a more powerful method of sealing, making a ring out of Purple Heartwood to enhance purple Lux, and using wooden nails in place of metal nails to make a structure repair itself overtime.

When Rohan touches wood with his bare hands, it is magically nourished and strengthened as if he were healing it. The longer he does this, the more healthy a piece of wood will become, to the point that plywood could grow fresh bark. In some cases, Rohan can bring dead trees back to life, and mend broken wood like human bones. This is useful, but like other parts of his Abstraction, it cannot be turned off. This can be awkward when he is replacing rotten floorboards, which are suddenly no longer rotten.

Rohan’s curse also comes with physical changes, which can be seen rising up through his skin. Around his heart and lungs are patches of petrified wood, which spread out across his skin just subtly enough to be easily concealed. This makes him more vulnerable to being set on fire than the average person, but gives him a way to heal his injuries by simply standing in the sun for a while. Lastly, in his veins is tree sap, rather than blood. His “blood” can spread the petrified growth to others if they get it on them, and can’t get it off. This is very painful to others, and will slowly turn them to wood like a gorgon would turn them into stone.

Steelfeather is enchanted to make any projectile fired by it totally weightless until it hits something. This means that any arrow can fly [i]forever[/i] and hit something from [i]any[/i] distance, while flying much further than anything an ordinary bow could accomplish. The Steelfeather bow has a draw weight of 20 pounds, making it incredibly easy to use. Once an arrow hits something, it regains its mass and weight, allowing it to sink into a target as a normal arrow should.

Juno stands at about 9 inches tall, and is inconsistently intelligent as a person. He can count and write, but he can’t speak. Juno took on his own personality, making him a mischievous little prankster who often gets up to no good around the 317’s complex.

Whoever wears the mask is instilled with supernatural agility, allowing them to run at 150 feet per second, jump 10 feet in the air, and completely ignore the fatigue associated with physical exertion. The mask also gives its wearer a grainy, black and white form of night vision.

The Storyteller Pipe blows rings of smoke that become windows into the possible future, which vague and hazy, but can potentially be very enlightening. The longer a person tries to view a possible future, the clearer it will become, but they will feel weaker and weaker as they do. Eventually, this fatigue will pass, but people who view the future with the Storyteller will feel tempted to use it more often. The only way to deal with this temptation is to ignore it, as it will eventually pass.

The Briar Needle is supernaturally tough, meaning it is nearly impossible to damage or break. Its main power, however, takes the form of a healing aura that extends outwards in a 20 foot radius. This aura steadily heals wounds up to the severity of broken bones and brain damage, and includes the wielder.
