Hyakuji 2.0 Template

Character Name: Stephen Argyle (The 'ph' sounds like a v and the y sounds like an i.)

Gender: Male

Age: 16

Height: 6'0"

Weight: 180

Description or Image of Character Appearance: Posted Image

The only time Stephen wears the suit is at formal events (obviously) or at school. Otherwise, he's dressed in your stereotypical "gothic" attire. Just let your imagination run wild here.

Occupation: HHS student/Pimp

Grade Level: Junior

Powers/ Abilities: Stephen has the ability to create illusions. There are three different types of illusions Stephen has the ability to control, create, or whatever.

  • Optics: Optics are illusions that affect the target's perception of what they see. There are three branches of Optics: Visual Distortion, Blinding, and Physical Foolery.

    • Visual Distortion: Visual Distortion works by making the afflicted see things that aren't really there (i.e. mirages). Although an infinite number of people can be affected by Visual Distortion at any one time, Stephen must be making direct eye contact with the target, making this used only very rarely. These illusions can only be sustained for roughly five minutes before disappearing.
    • Blinding: Exactly as it sounds. Blinding renders the target blind. To use this, Stephen must have direct eye contact with the target and an infinite number of people can be affected by this at any one time. While still used rarely, this is used more often than Visual Distortion. Blinding can be sustained so long as the afflicted is/are in Stephen's line of sight or until five minutes passes.
    • Physical Foolery: Stephen's most common use of Optics. This requires no contact at all and changes someone's physical appearance. However, it takes longer for Stephen to use it on others. When used on himself, the illusion takes place immediately. Stephen cannot make it seem like another person is there, that's what Visual Distortion is for. These illusions can last up to an hour.


  • Audio Confusion: Audio Confusion is illusions that influence sound. There are two different types of Audio Confusion, but the differences are minute. One type makes the target hear things and the other changes the sounds of things or amplifies the volume of the sound. Neither forms of Audio Confusion require any type of contact and can last for up to two hours.

  • Nerve Manipulation: Nerve Manipulation makes the target feel or not feel what isn't or what is there. There are two branches of Nerve Manipulation: Inversion and Extroversion. All types of Nerve Manipulation are instigated by touching the target.

    • Inversion: Inversion nullifies the target's sense of touch. This can spread over the target's entire body or can be limited to a specific area. These illusions can last for up to ten minutes.
    • Extroversion: Extroversion stimulates the target's sense of touch. This can also spread over the target's entire body or just to a specific area. There are two sub-branches to Extroversion: Malign and Benign. Malign makes the target feel pain. Anything else that the target does not find pleasurable (i.e. Mark may not like the taste of broccoli...) falls under this. Benign is the opposite of Malign, it makes the target feel pleasurable (i.e. ...but Tom does.). Malign Extroversion is the most commonly used.


Equipment You Have: Stephen can usually be seen carrying a messenger bag around with him. Its contents are unknown to all except Stephen as Stephen is as sensitive about people going through it just like a woman is with her purse. For good reason, too, for there are three of Stephen's favorite porn magazines (Is that okay since he never takes them out? Well, only when he's in that gray area of not being RPed.). Aside from those, there are the standard school supplies, a laptop, and what you'd generally consider a teenage boy to carry around with him.

Personality Description: There are three things that are apparent about Stephen: he's depressed, he's generally angry, and he's gay. To be black and white about it anyway. If you want Technicolor, read on.

The majority of Stephen's depression stems from the fact his parents were both, how shall we say, idiotic, narcissistic alcoholics. They'd stay gone for weeks on end leaving Stephen at home alone. Then when they'd come back they'd ignore him and were testy about everything he did. His anger also stems from this as, when his parents would get mad, he'd get just as mad. Eventually the anger became permanent.

Stephen isn't secretive at all about his sexual orientation. In fact, sometimes he even points it out, but only when it's relevant. Wouldn't do to have someone sitting in the middle of class and randomly blurt out "I'm gay.", would it?

Stephen also has an insatiable sex drive/is a pervert. Unfortunately, due to the lack of other homosexual individuals, he's mostly forced to just grin and bear it. Whee.

Personal History: Stephen was born in Dublin, Ireland in, not a hospital, but the backseat of a truck. Luckily for his mother, Cynthia Argyle, that she was too drunk to feel any of the pain. For the first thirteen years of Stephen's life, his mother waited on him hand and foot. Then her maternal instinct waned as she turned back into an alcoholic since he started trying to become independent. Stephen assumed this was because she was hurt that he was trying to break away from her.

So, over the next two years, Stephen descended into a perpetual state of depression and anger. Only when his parents came home and saw him having "sexy time" with another man did they kick him out. Like it or not, he was homeless. Until he saw something on the internet (in a library) about Hyakuji. Not wasting any time, he began to collect money to make the trip to HHS. Roughly a year later, he had enough money and thus departed for Hyakuji.

RP Sample: Stephen awoke to the morning sun shining in through the airplane's window. Disgruntled, he closed the shutter over the window and closed his eyes again. He only got about five minutes of keeping his eyes closed before a stewardess's voice came over the intercom. "We will be landing shortly. Please return to your seat, set your seat up straight, and fasten your seatbelts. Thank you for flying with Generic Airlines."

Stephen did as instructed very reluctantly. He was by far not a morning person. The fact that the random shaking of the plane and the constant babbling of the stewardesses all night kept waking him up didn't help much. There were black bags under his eyes and his hair was a mess. He tried to smooth it down the best he could with his hand, but to no avail; it kept coming up so eventually he just left it alone and would take all the weird looks for it.

Another five minutes past and the plane landed. Once he was allowed to do so, Stephen unbuckled his seat belt, retrieved his things from the overhead compartment, and exited the plane. He stepped out into the airport, relieved to be on solid, nigh unmovable ground again. If he wasn't so tired, he probably would have done the cliche, overdramatic scene of falling to the floor and kissing it. As it stands, though, he just continued walking.

He boarded a bus and threw himself into an empty seat. Taking the pillow from his bag that he stole from the airline, he put it against the window and lied his head on it. Then a smelly, wheezing old man sat next to him. The man coughed loudly then cleared his throat. Stephen groaned and sat up and put the pillow back in his bag. And so the bus departed.

An hour later, the bus came to Stephen's stop. Luckily for him, the wheezing old man had gotten off the bus after only five minutes, which gave Stephen some time to rest his eyes. As he got off the bus, he could see HHS not to far in the distance. He set off walking in the direction of the school.

He stopped just at the edge of the sidewalk and gazed at the school. "Well, Hyakuji High School, here I am," he said.

Mashed Potatoes? There is no spoon.
