Character Name: Michio Nakagawa
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Height: 5’2”
Weight: 135 lbs
Description or Image of Character Appearance:
Michio is not likely to stick out of any crowds as he has very few distinguishing features. He’s not that tall, but he’s also not that short, he has black spiky hair and brown eyes. He doesn’t have much variation in what he wears; which is generally a dark blue dress shirt with black pants.

Occupation: Student
Grade Level: 2nd Year (Sophomore)
Powers/ Abilities:
Michio’s powers are the result of an accident while he was attempting to perform some technomagic. He had been trying to create a watch which could predict the weather by linking an advanced digital watch to the energy of the Earth, unfortunately it backfired and instead linked Michio to the Earth, while giving the watch the ability to enhance his powers a bit. This resulted in him gaining his powers, namely his earth sense and the ability to instantaneously move from one spot on the Earth to another (or as it’s more commonly known teleportation).

As a result of being linked to the Earth, Michio gained the Earth Sense. The earth sense primarily manifests by allowing Michio to instinctively know where he is in relation to other objects. Thus he has a perfect perception of everything around him, for all of a foot. Unfortunately the further away from Michio an object is the harder it is to sense. It is also harder to sense moving objects as opposed to stationary ones (also the longer the object is stationary the easier it is to sense), organic objects compared to inorganic, and man-made as opposed to naturally occurring. For example, he can tell where people are around him for about 10 feet if they are moving, but up to 25 feet if they are stationary (like sitting or sleeping). He can sense all the furniture around him for about 50 yards, and can sense the layout of any buildings for about 150 yards. He can expand his range to encompassing a whole city by entering a meditative state, however he loses the ability to sense anything other than stationary objects (like buildings or parked cars), and develops a headache, and can’t use his earth sense normally for about 15 minutes for every 5 meditating (can't use ability for 5 posts). Using the watch he can create a visual model of what his sense is telling him, looking much like a holographic map which appears above his watch. (All this translates to is that he can’t get lost, he (mostly) can’t be sneaked up upon, and he can find hidden passages, he can also create a real-time holographic map using his watch)

The other ability that Michio gained was line-of-sight Teleportation. Michio can instantaneously anywhere that he can see from his current position. However he cannot teleport into/out of enclosed spaces like rooms or buildings. For example he could teleport anywhere inside of a room that he can see, but he cannot teleport outside of that room, but if there is a visible opening (like an open door or window) he can teleport to the other side of that opening. He is also limited on the number of times he can teleport without repercussions, he can at most teleport five times in a two hour period (can't teleport for 15 posts), and would require rest afterwards (fighting, running, physical labor do not count as rest and would make him take longer to recover). Additionally Michio cannot carry heavy weights while teleporting, on a normal jump he can carry about 20lbs extra at most, but if he’s willing to push it he can carry up to 50 lbs (if he’s fully rested before hand) but won’t be able to teleport for at least an hour afterwards (10 posts). In extreme emergencies he can teleport one person, however he will be so exhausted by the effort that he won’t be able to move on his own for two hours and can’t teleport for a whole day afterwards. (Unable to move: 5 posts, Unable to teleport:rest of the thread) Using the watch to create a real-time map he can bypass the line-of-sight requirement, but only outside going to another destination outside (like one side of town to another), and is as draining as two regular teleports. (All this translates to is that he can teleport, if he can see where he’s going, there’s nothing in the way (like a wall or window), and he isn’t carrying too much.)

Equipment You Have:
-Magical Watch (It looks like an ordinary watch, but he can use it to project a map using his earth sense, and use that map with his teleportation.)
-Laptop
-Durable backpack
-Portable safe (filled with money and notes about his experiment which gave him his powers)

Period 3: Supernatural Studies

Personality Description:
Michio is a very self-controlled person, he likes to keep himself detached and his primary driving desire is to make more money and take care of his younger siblings. Michio like to use masks on his personality to make people see what he wants them to see. He’s kind, helpful and courteous for teachers, aloof and slightly condescending to his peers, he doesn’t want to let anyone actually know what he’s thinking and what his motivations are. While he is able to fake enthusiasm when appropriate, the only time he actually feels it while in school is at the prospect of earning money.

Towards his goal of earning money, he is willing to go to great lengths to earn more; however he rarely will actually cross the line into outright illegal actions because he believes that the cost if he gets found out will be greater than what he could earn. He is always honest and will always hold up his end of a bargain, as being a known liar would be counter-productive, but he is more than willing to withhold information, or twist the truth just a little bit.

Personal History:
Michio comes from a poor family in Tokyo. His father was killed in an accident when Michio was three, and his mother barely made enough to support Michio and his younger brother and sister. From fairly early on Michio picked up on how his Mother was always worried about family finances, and being a dedicated son he tried to think of ways he could earn more money, unfortunately being young he couldn’t figure out anything he could do. Then the answer to earning money came by chance, while on a field trip one of his classmates wanted to buy something but couldn’t afford it, Michio loaned him some money, and charged him interest on it. He realized that he could earn money though this, and started loaning money to his other classmates, always charging a 20% a week interest rate.

Unfortunately he soon ran into a problem, he didn’t have enough money to loan out to meet demand. Seeing the problem he tried selling some items, like candy and toys which he had made out of some junk, and discovered that his fellow students were willing to buy them for three or four times what they were worth. Seeing the money making potential he tried making more toys, refining what he knew and trying different things.
As he grew up he began to become more ambitious, working on more complicated objects, while trying to earn more money. One day he stumbled upon a book of magic and read it. After reading the book he was stuck by the idea of using magic to replace complicated and expensive motors and computers for his devices, and stated experimenting with using magic on his devices. Determined to make an item he knew that people would want to buy, but wouldn’t be too complicated he finally settled on creating a watch which could predict the weather. Taking meticulous notes so he could replicate the process, he attempted to link an ordinary wrist watch to the Earth’s magic, unfortunately it backfired, instead of empowering the watch, he empowered himself.

Worried about the effect his new powers might have on his family, and worried about how people could react if they found out, he began to research looking for some way to minimize the possible negative reactions he might get. Eventually he stumbled upon a pamphlet for Hyakuji High School, and determined that it was the best possible course of action.

Mashed Potatoes? The proof is in the pudding.

Profile's just fine! My one thing is the qualifiers in your ability like days and hours. Hyakuji has no real time system and most topics don't follow a sequence of days directly one after the other so it'd be easier for you and everyone else if maybe you changed it to something like posts per thread instead. Other than that though it's all well and good~

Ok, I've fixed it so there are some fixed post numbers for the rest times.
