The First Magical Incursion

@FunnyGuy It might be worth it to give an idea of what his normal human physical ability is, just for reference. Otherwise it's still pretty vague on how much it gets enhanced by the aura. If that makes sense. Just a suggestion though.

The First Magical Incursion

Jun-Seo Kim

Jun-Seo Kim

"The universe works in mysterious ways"

Name: Jun-Seo Kim // Jun
Gender Male
Age: 24
Alignment: The Guild
Rank within Organisation: Captain

Birthmark Shape:

My Hider

Location of Birthmark: Around the size of a poker chip, on his right shoulder blade.
Magical Abilities: Geokinesis: Jun-Seo can manipulate/shape earthen elements in any form i.e. rocks, sand, dust, mud, dirt/soil. He can create constructs from earthen elements, and cause earthquakes, rock-slides, or any other type of earth related natural disasters, through the manipulation of earthen elements
.
Place of Birth: Seoul, South Korea
Currently Residing: New York, New York
Personality: Jun-Seo is very laid back and easy going, even to the extent where he seems lazy and irresponsible, which he quite often is. He prefers to go-with-the-flow, and strongly believes that everything that happens is fate. He doesn't like conflict, and prefers to avoid it at all costs; he is much happier when people talk things out civilly, rather than resulting to violence. In saying that, he is by no means a push over, and can easily hold his own in a fight if it comes to that. Jun is very open-minded and accepting of other people's advice and opinions, and likes to make sure everyone is heard and included. He doesn't have much of a temper, but when he is angry, it is best to stare clear.
History/Bio: Jun-Seo was a bright kid, but he didn't have the motivation to apply himself to his full potential, and instead settled for scraping by with average passing grades. He didn't hold his education to the same level of importance that his parents did; much to their dismay. He was very sociable however, and had no trouble making friends wherever he went. Unfortunately having friends didn't help with the stress he suffered from all the responsibilities he had.

Although he was the youngest of four children, Jun was the only boy, which meant he would be expected to step up as the man of the household should anything happen to his father. Which would include getting a good job and providing for his sister's and mother. On top of that, his father wanted him to one day take his place as the head for the Asian branch of The Guild. The Kim family has been apart of the organisation for generations, and although they aren't anywhere near as well-known or powerful as either the De Silva's or the Leighton's, they are still an integral part of the organisation. The position they hold is extremely important, and even though most people would considered any of his older sister's more suitable for the job, Jun's father had his heart set on having his son succeed him. Unfortunately for him, that meant his lessons were a lot stricter than those of his sister's.

Trying to juggle his school work, his magic lessons, and his father's training, would eventually prove too much for the young boy. The stress of it all pushing him into the world of recreational drugs; more specifically speed and marijuana. The former to bring up his energy levels so he could power through his lessons, and the latter to bring him back down from the high and mellow him out. At first that's all they were, simply aids to help him cope with his stress, but as time went on it slowly developed into a full blown addiction. Such things were extremely disapproved of in Korea, so when his parents found out they were beyond furious. Not only was it irresponsible and bad for his health, it also brought a lot of shame upon the family; especially from other member's in The Guild.

Jun was immediately pulled from school and sent to rehab. Two years later, at the age of 20, he returned home. His sister's and mother welcomed him eagerly, but there was still a lot of animosity between him and his father. Of course he still loved his family dearly, but he couldn't stand being at home, with his father scrutinizing his every move, so he packed his bags and caught the first plane to America. Things were quite difficult at first, considering he barely spoke a word of English, but thankfully he was able to turn to The Guild for help. Thanks to his family's connections, and his potential with magic, he was able to work his way up to Captain in the 4 years he has been with them.

Although Jun-Seo has kicked the majority of his drug addiction, he still enjoys kicking back and smoking some dope every now and then.

Relations

Salem
Familiar - Associates
"Salem is a born leader, and someone I look to for strength and inspiration. There is no one I would rather follow."

Mikael
Well known - Friends
"He seems like a pretty cool dude most of the time, his alcohol addiction does concern me though. I want to help him beat it, if I can. Perhaps that's the reason life brought us together."

---

Jordan
Familiar - Associates
"We aren't close, but she is good company when she isn't mocking me or causing trouble."

---

Benjamin
Distant - Associates
"I respect him as a fellow captain, but I don't entirely trust him. Not because I suspect him as the type to commit treason, but because he's far too intense and ruthless."

---

Aloysius
Unknown
"I know of him and his family, and how powerful they are, but I have yet to meet the man himself. From what I've heard of him, I'm not sure I want to cross paths with him."

The First Magical Incursion

I'll get his relations done later, since we are still waiting on other characters anyway. But finally, here is my boy.

The First Magical Incursion

Here are my more refined ideas, in order of how excited I am to play them.
_{Totally not a covert way of saying please let me use the hallucinations power}

Hider

Hallucinations - As title. Alters peoples perceptions of sensory input. In order for this to work, something more or less has to be there in the first place. The user can make a sound feel louder, a touch feel like it burns, or a park bench grow teeth and start viciously snapping, but can't make them perceive something that has no basis in reality. No physical change is made to the object, only the subject's perception of it. Note that harm cannot be done through making hot sand on a beach look and feel like lava, though making lava look like honey will obviously cause harm to the one hallucinating if they decide to go eat some. Direct mind control is NOT achievable through this, the subject is still free to react in a characteristic manner.

Trance - The ability to gain supernatural effects through meditation. Different trance effects can be gained through performing different trances. Each trance must last at least an hour before any effects are gained and may only be cast upon the user, but can provide potent effects. Stuff like granting super-focus, super-speed, additional charisma. No additional abilities may be gained through this, as in one may not gain pyrokenisis through trance, only enhancements of natural abilities (excepting the ability to use trance).

Concrete - Think less of telekinetic control of concrete, more of a touch based control. While in physical contact with concrete, it can be crumbled, thrown, swung, or otherwise manipulated without reverting it to liquid, reshaping it while maintaining mass, or otherwise causing it to behave differently from how concrete actually behaves.
That being said, kenesis isn't impossible with this ability, but the nature of concrete makes it quite difficult unless it's been broken up. I've put this here as a safe option, but I'm vastly more excited for the other two.

@Strange Rodent

I have no say, but I really like the first two.
Just wanted to add my 2 cents

The First Magical Incursion

@Strange Rodent Uh yeah, about the same tbh.

The First Magical Incursion

@Strange Rodent Ayee, it's Rodent! How's it been?

The First Magical Incursion

So if I was considering rejoining, would that be okay?

The First Magical Incursion

So, hey

Magia, Amore et Bellum [ACCEPTING]

No, and if she enters as member I doubt they would give her to much access to anything. And IDT Al uses computers for that very reason. Just phones for communications, it's mostly orally given tasks

@Cerces22

I don't think Alex would be infiltrating DS in the typical sense, like Rebecca did, but rather trying to find them via their online activity or tracking their phones or whatever.

@Exit@Hellion

No they don't know where DS' HQ is, otherwise Salem probably would have attacked them by now, and DS would be wiped out. Which means Aloysius would likely be going to extreme measures to make it is as difficult as possible for their HQ to be found.

Also, I'm sorry if my answer about Lana seemed rude, I wasn't meaning for it to be.

Magia, Amore et Bellum [ACCEPTING]

Future story idea...

So, I was thinking it might be fun to have Salem (or whoever delegates a job to recruits in the Guild) task Alex with slipping into Dark Shadow's network via her ability and do some digging. So maybe a counterpart of sorts on the DS side would pick up on residual effects of Alex's “technomance” ability within their computer systems. Maybe the two telepaths, Lana @PureHeroine or Azrael @Eviledd1984?

@Hellion

Lana isn't telepathic.
