one more quick question that I forgot; can one of our starting skills be a passive? 

Character:
Name: Hikari Mamoru
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Appearance: [img=http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/characters/9/57429.jpg]
Personality: Hikari is a very outgoing and loving boy with a big heart. He hates seeing people he cares about getting hurt, far more the he hates getting hurt himself. As such, he can be extreamly protective of the people close to him. There are very few things that can upset Hikari, making him a normally very cheerful kid
Bio: Hikari had a pretty normal life growing up, in fact, the strangest thing that ever happened to him was when his dad brought home a cool looking (and surprisingly well made) shield as a souvenir from a business trip. The rest of his life was pretty normal; he went to school, had friends, played video games, all that (mostly) good stuff. However, that was exactly the problem; growing up, Hikari was always looking to be a part of something...'bigger'. If asked what he meant when he said 'bigger' his response would simply be "I'll know when I find it." After his father got a promotion, his family moved to Kipaepae
