Im thinking of making a character who's personality split into two when he acquired his powers. One side of him is completely fucking insane and the other is a just a normal guy.
As the school gates creaked open a gust of wind blew past Takeshi which disheveled his neat black hair. It was late fall, the trees were finally starting to shed their leaves in preparation for the winter months. It wasn't too cold, just a little chilly. The perfect weather for an evening stroll. If you weren't careful though you'd be sure to catch a cold. His scarf was tightly wrapped around his face and his hands were shoved deep into his coat pockets. As the gate came to a final halt, Takeshi pushed forwards into the unknown. This was a new experience for him. From a young age he had been home schooled at his father's request. This was his first time attending a real school, let alone one that asked him to live on campus. This was what he had imagined college would be like, not high school.
Walking at a brisk pace Takeshi lowered his head as he passed by other students who were loitering around campus. A few tried to wave to get his attention, but he disregarded them and continued on his way. This was all so foreign to him, he had traveled the world many times for his career, but never had he stopped and observed his environment like he did now. The people here were all so strange, half of them didn't look human. Did things like this really exist? How could he have missed this. Creatures that he thought of as only fairy tale were right in front of his eyes. Maybe it was because he never took the time to stop and think things through, but now he remembers seeing these types many times before. Attending his concerts, doing commercials on TV. They weren't the strange ones, he was strange for ignoring their very existence.
Takeshi had completely passed through the common area without drawing too much attention towards himself. As he continued to walk he started to seeing other students less and less, as he drew even further away it grew unbearably silent and the ringing in his ears was growing extremely loud. Frantically shoving his left hand into the pocket of his dress pants, Takeshi ripped out an old mp3 player and quickly pushed the buds into his ears. Immediately he felt relieved, Beethoven always soothed his soul no matter the situation. Closing his eyes, Takeshi continued to walk, his fingers were moving unconsciously along with the music. Just like a machine he began playing th song from muscle memory. This continued for a while before Takeshi realized that he had walked some distance without opening his eyes. Not wanting to collide with another pedestrian he opened his eyes only to be interupted by a glass door smacking him in the face. What luck! The cold hard ground greeted him as he fell flat on his back. He was now soaked and most likely had a concussion. Where was he anyways? It appeared to be the outside of a cafe of sorts. Could he have really strayed that far from his path without noticing? Who knows, but without the will to get up Takeshi just laid there as the next piece began to play. Chopin was it? No it was Kreisler how could he have confused the two?
Whats the current weather like? Do I start in the academy, or is it like I was just accepted and I'm walking through the gates? Sorry If these questions have been answered already.
Grimm seems interesting enough. He'll be suprised when he meets me for more reason than one. For now though I'm going to bed. You can probably tell how tired I am by how much my typing has degraded over the hours.
Reading thourgh it and gonna ask some small things, it won't be a bother hopefully. With his vanish ability, so he is semi invisible? can his shadow be seen? And also for background it is sort of required to why he enter Orean but it can be like he was bored or something but that is all.
Can add reason. Its simple, he eventually gets discovered and he flees to the academy in hopes that if he lays low there things will blow over. . edit: redoing description on vanish as well.
With the tongue of a silver snake, Watari lies effortlessly. Others are more inclined to believe what he says as long as it isnt too ridiculous.
With some effort Watari can completely hide his presence. He is visible but through use of illusionary magic and other trickery it appears that he isnt there at all. You can see through the illusion if you get with in a few feet ofhim or have unnatural eye sight. He also makes no sound when he moves.
Has two different appearances that he can switch between interchangeably. Even though they appear different they are still the same age, height and build as each other. The drawback is that changing appearances also changes his personality.
As a last ditch effort to escape if caught Watari can create duplicates of himself to distract his enemy as he retreats. These duplicates have no physical form and once hit will disappear in a puff of smoke.
Weaknesses: With no combat abilities whatsoever, if his deception fail him he is most likely in trouble. His powers aren't guaranteed, there's always the odd chance people can see through his tricks.
Personality: Watari is no longer a single entity, there are two personalities living inside of him now. One is his darker, crueler, slightly more destructive side that loves chaos. The other is his sly, childish side that loves playing pranks and having a good laugh. Two conflicting personalities sharing the same body, still they work together towards the same goal.
Skills:
Watari is a Master Trickster, he can rig all sorts of traps and contraptions from simple child's pranks to elaborate terrorist devices.
From performing simple magic tricks to snagging someones wallet while they aren't looking. Sleight of Hand is the act of pretending to do one thing while actually doing the other,
Hobbies: -Playing Tricks -Solving/Creating riddles -Listening to music -Solving/Creating puzzles
Watari, otherwise known as The Playful Trickster wasn't always the menace that he's seen as today. Once not to long ago was a normal human living in the city, going to school, hanging with his friends. He was the epitome of normal, though he did like to play tricks a bit more than the average person. He was the class clown, always cracking jokes and playing pranks on teachers and other students, which got him in trouble more often than not. He had gained reputation as a trickster. He was still normal though, but in a world full of the supernatural one can only stay normal for so long. During his last year of Junior High Watari started to have reoccurring dreams where he was standing in front of two doors, one was white and the other was black. This dream happened over and over, until one night Watari was able to move about freely. A voice echoed in his mind Choose your path. You can stray down the path of trickery and be forever be lost, or return to normal and live a boring life until you die. The choice is yours. Standing there Watari had no other choice but to open the black door and stray down the path of wickedness, of trickery. His only other choice was a life of boredom. Awaking the next morning Watari found himself completely unchanged, was it really just a dream? The next few days were a blur, in and out of consciousness, Watari had no idea what was going on. What was happening to him? Little by little he started coming to less and less. Sometimes he'd managed to catch the news in between blackouts and see bits about mass terrorist attacks being carried out across the prefecture. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME?!?!? was the last thought he had before blacking out for the last time. The "true" Watari would never emerge again, he was to be lost forever. This was the fate that he chose.
Two years after the occurrence of the mass terrorist attacks in Japan the culprits have vanished off the face of the earth after being identified. At the same time a new student arrives at Orean Cause. Could this be pure coincidence or are the two connected?
(The rest will be revealed through RP and stuff. Just let it be known that the "blacking out" was Watari's personality splitting into the two parts that now remain and that the terrorist attack on TV may or may not have been him. I had written an extremely long backstory but I decided not to post it and only put in the first little bit. Dont want to reveal everything about my character just yet.)
Its friday night! What else would I be doing besides spending my time on a roleplaying board.
edit: I was apart of the OG Roleplayerguild like 2 years ago. I stopped around the time the guild died for a long period when the owner went to mexico, or something like that.
