About You
Name: Stuart
Age:16
RP experience:a few months
RP sample{at least 5 sentences}: Damius walked into the familiar atmosphere of the vast gymnasium his fencing bag slung over his shoulder. Damius walked slowly so he could fully intake the great passion emanating from the place. He smiled at everyone who walked passed unafraid to say “hi” since he knew basically everyone. He sat his bag down on a nearby empty space in the bleachers unzipping hastily needing to get ready as fast as possible so he could practice. Damius tried recapping on the drills he had been practicing earlier but failed. Failing at this Damius stuffed his hands in his bag tugging out everything he needed: jacket, knickers, bodyguard, and his epee. Damius casually snatched up his knickers jumping into them quickly. He didn’t like the idea of people seeing him put them on but what was he fretting about everyone knew him. Damius hurried to get the rest of his equipment but completely forgot to put his bodycord meaning he had to take his jacket back off. As Damius did this he noticed a shadow looming over him.
“Hey Damius!” a familiar voice rang out loudly. Damius turned to look at his friend Michelle, who was already garbed in her whites and ready to go.
“Oh Hey Michelle What’s up?” Damius replied smiling at the girl who must have already started practicing since seeing sweat trickle down her cheek.
“Nothing much. Taking a quick break from practice is all. You should hurry up so we can practice together before you start. Because you and I are so going to kill everyone here. It’s going to be horrible. They are all going to be destroyed! ” Michelle remarked enthusiastically nudging Damius quite aggressively.
“You need to calm the mess down like…you’re going to get on the strip and the person is going to look at you looking like a monkey or something and she’s just going to forfeit. And then you’re going to do some crazy ass victory dance and probably end backslapping the director. Of course I can’t blame you. Cuz’ I’m probably going to do the same thing.” Damius said loudly giving her one of his stupid looks and laughing. Michelle simply watched Damius’ face as he spoke and she burst out laughing knowing the truth of it.
“All male fencers you should be at your pools now!” a man said over a loud speaker accidently coughing into it annoyingly.
Damius jumped into action throwing on his jacket with his bodycord this time and walking over to the strip that had a little piece of paper with the number 5 on it. When he had reached the strip Damius confidently danced towards his seat sitting down with a broad smile on his face. The tournament had only just begun.

Talents:Damius is good at making friends one he’s used to his surroundings. He is also a quite admirable epeeist and an amazing rollerblader. Lastly Damius is very good at wielding his umbrella as his only weapon though can use a sword decently.
Strengths: Damius is very good at keeping a cool head in difficult situations thinking things through thoroughly. He also is able to keep any kind of secret and would never risk losing the trust of a friend. Damius excels in literature ie English and is pretty good at history. Damius is able to attract friends rather easily being so outgoing and carefree. Damius can fight well as long as he has his umbrella and is rather agile.
Weaknesses: Damius is bad at starting out in new communities and meeting new people. He is also bad at anything related to art never finding any affinity to it. Also Damius isn’t skilled at mathematics or science finding them irritating and complicated. Another weakness Damius has is at times accidentally using his powers.
Power(s): Damius can manipulate, and direct air. He can direct air to make it lift him off the ground, or immobilize someone. He can immobilize someone by lifting them off the ground, or by pressing them against walls with strong air currents. In addition, to that Damius can generate air in his palm using it to move objects without touching them. Although Damius has a good handle on his abilities he can't do major tornadoes or hurricanes or anything of the sort. He may be able to at some point after a few more years of training. He mainly uses air to move things, stop movement, and make himself fly. Still, Damius has other ways of using air that are more offensive.
Damius uncovered his abilities on a warm, sunny afternoon. He was eight years old and was joyfully playing in the yard with his brand-new kite, which his mother had bought for him. He watched the kite soar through the air perfectly, awed by the sheer spectacle of flight. He started running along giggling and laughing, and turned back every few seconds to watch the kite go higher and move faster. Damius was having so much fun he failed to notice the tree he had just passed. The kite piteously got caught within the many leaves of the tree. Feeling tenseness in the string, Damius looked back frowning at his entangled kite. He tried tugging on the string as hard as he could but he wasn't strong enough to pull it free. Damius dropped to the ground feeling defeated; wishing the kite could slip out from the tree. He turned his head towards the kite focusing; hoping that something would happen. Several stale and endless minutes went by and nothing happened. Damius was just about to give up when a slight breeze blew and gently pushed the kite out of the tree. Damius was sure he had to have caused it not ever really believing in sheer luck. He watched his kite fall softly to the ground and walked over to it. Damius sat in the yard testing the air and realized that someday he might be able to control it fully.
Damius immediately told his parents about what he had learned and at first they told him to using his imagination but he was persistent. He had them follow him to the backyard in which he demonstrated what little control he had at that point. His parents were stunned but in the end supportive. His parents knew for him not to be a danger to society he'd have to have complete control over his powers so they had him practice. Damius didn't mind this of course only thinking it as being playtime and seeing what he could do.
State of Control: Damius’ control on his powers is halfway decent. He is decent at using it purposely finally getting down moving objects around with wind and forcing air around. Still, Damius sometimes uses his powers unconsciously not having a complete control over it when this does happen. He also doesn’t have enough control yet to fully direct something that isn’t himself. He has figured out how to levitate slightly but flying is a ways away. He has though figured out numerous ways to enhance his skills with his trusty umbrella.
Life goals/ Ambitions:
1. Be a pro rollerblader and a renowned warrior
Other{fav/worst memories, habits, fears, regrets, etc.}:
Fears: Damius is TERRIFIED of insects and almost always blows them away. He also is scared of being rejected or abused for not being heterosexual.
Favorite Memory: Practicing his powers with both his parents at the age of 11 where he made them fly.
Worst Memory: Losing his first fencing tournament at the age of 14
Habits: Having far too much energy for everyone else around him. Levitating instead of walking.
Regrets: Damius trys to tell himself he regrets nothing believing that regret is slightly pointless. Still deep inside he regrets using up so much of his parents time feeling they could have used it more wisely.
History: Damius was born to two ordinary people in Wallingford, CT that were quite loving and supportive. Isis and Serylil decided for the first part of Damius’ life they’d homeschool him. Once both parents were aware of his abilities they had him practice that as well. This teaching didn’t start until Damius was the age of nine and was already well aware of his abilities. Around this time Damius started toying around with this small childs’ umbrella in conjuction with his powers. Because the Leephearts were pretty well off the house they lived in was fairly secluded the closest neighbor being a mile away and the town a mile in the opposite direction. Before that time Damius was an outgoing little toddler that constantly did weird things like chasing down dogs with sticks for fun. Once Damius started his schooling with his parents he struggled piteously. It took a few years before Damius got a handle on the vigorous schedule Isis and Serylil put him through.
By the age of 13 Damius could completely handle the classes from his parents and had time for more stuff now. Damius had been rollerblading for about a year at that point and was improving drastically. He was able to do various tricks now and go faster than any of the other kids in his neighborhood. Not only did Damius excel at his schooling, and rollerblading but at the age of 14 he picked up his first epee and fell in love. His parents paid for him to take classes with a local instructor of fencing and Damius began practicing consistently. There would never be a day that Damius wouldn’t be outside with one of his weapons, epee or foil, practicing distance or point control. Along with one of his weapons would of course be his umbrella. Damius’ parents noticed how well he was doing and began entering in competitions. Damius at this point was very cocky about himself thinking no one could beat him and he went into his first tournament hot-headed. At this tournament Damius lost in the second round and he was mortified and it deeply changed how he felt about himself. After that Damius began training harder to get better and as a result he started winning the tournaments.
It was because of Damius’ rollerblading and fencing that he got his social attitude and ability to get along with other kids his age. Before this the only company he had was his parents most of the time having few friends making him seem like a loner. If he had started school before becoming active he would have been a closed nutshell. Through the years of meet fellow bladers and fencers Damius just became more comfortable with the people he knew. Because of Damius being so comfortable with his surroundings the idea of having to start all over again never went well for him.
Of course Isis and Serylil were still quite adamant about Damius’ education and pushed him harder in that regard. Damius began to falter having to juggle four equally important aspects of his life: his powers, education, rollerblading, and fencing. By this time Damius was 15 and nothing was getting easier for him. He was beginning to struggle with everything and his parents simply encouraged him to work more, in which he did. It was at this time that Isis and Serylil thought it was time to for Damius to go somewhere else. Coincidentally that year they had gotten a letter inviting Damius to attend Valora Academy. Needless to say they enrolled their son in school immediatly. Damius was about to start his sophomore year of high school. Damius had never been away from home for school but he was eager to leave home, meet some new people, and not feel so different.
