What is this thing?
Character Name: David Mason

Description or Image of Character Appearance: David is a youth with short messy dark brown hair that always looks like it was just in a strong wind and pale blue eyes (when he gets emotional and starts channelling large amounts of power his eyes glow with a bright white light with small wisps of smoke coming from them).His body type is that of a medium build and he usually holds himself in a relaxed slightly slouched fashion
David's appearance


Occupation: Student
Grade Level: 1st Year

Powers/ Abilities:
Magic: Growing up in a family of mages David was giving a very broad teaching in various different fields of magic ranging from: basic summons, scrying, evocation, healing and the creation of magical items and potions.
The style of magic he uses is one that would require him to state the name of the spell he would use, it also allows for the use of rituals for more complex uses of magic but these require: time, reagents and a great deal of energy. He instead prefers to rely on quick evocation magic which only requires energy and an incantation and
Like all magic, spells require both energy and concentration and while he has shown to be talented skill-wise for his age David still has trouble when it comes to conserving his energy and frequently tires himself out by using too much magic.

Wind Sorcery:
While he has shown a great deal of promise in most schools of magic he found himself to be most proficient in wind based magic and the creation of minor magical items preferring to relying on subtle and clever uses of his power such as manipulating the air resistance around him to either slow his fall or slightly increase his speed by reducing drag. however the more subtle uses of his magic require concentration which can easily be broken due to his easily distracted nature.
Even if subtlety fails he can still be a force to be reckoned with when he uses some of his more destructive spells and simply throw blasts of wind around. But this is also not without risk as he runs the risk of tiring himself out if he uses too much power.
Due to his inexperience in high-stress situations he is unable to use his more diverse skills in combat as they require preparation

Spells:

Pressure bullet:
Cast time: Instant
David's weakest combat spell, it fires a small bolt of pressurised air from his finger with the force of either a weak push or a small punch depending on how much energy he puts into it. As this is the least costly spell in his arsenal it can be used in rapid succession. It would be a spell he could use very casually and would only be slightly winded after firing ten shots in rapid succession.

Pressure bolt:
Cast time: Two sentences.
David's main combat spell. It is a football sized sphere of pressurised air and hits with either enough force to either knock over a full grown man or break bones depending on how much energy is used, This spell is a bit more costly on his energy reserves and must be used sparingly to prevent exhaustion. After about five fully powered shots David has drained his reserves to the point where he has trouble stand upright

Pressure cannon:
Cast time: Half a post.
Currently David's most powerful combat spell. It creates a torso sized blast of pressurised air powerful enough to crack stone. Its downsides are that it requires charge time and it has a large energy cost, fully draining David's energy reserves after two shots causing him to collapse in a heap and he risks passing out if he had already used some spells prior.

Subtle wind uses:
David to prefers to fight with his brain not his muscles, as of such he spent a great deal of time practising the subtle uses of wind and can use affect his wind resistance for things such as slowing his fall or adding an extra foot to his jumps.

Spirit of intellect A.K.A Tom
After reading several novels about a wizard detective in Chicago David bound a spirit of intellect he later named Tom to a ring that he keeps on him at all times.
As a low-level spirit of Intellect Tom posses eidetic memory and has a telepathic link with David as he is bound to his will and is primarily used to help David remember requirements and procedures for performing spells and creating potions.
He has no personality of his own being a low-level spirit and instead takes a personality that reflects his current wielder, due to this he shares David's naive, friendly and trusting personality as well as easily distracted
His current appearance is that of a small orb of yellow light, he takes this form whenever he leaves his ring to speak with someone who isn't David.

Hand-to-hand combat
David is not completely reliant on his magic to get out of bad situations, he is also somewhat skilled in both a small bit of Krav Maga which is a martial art taught to the Israeli military that focuses on quick counters and taking down your opponents as quickly as possible, he is currently ranked as a green belt in this martial art. He is also somewhat skilled in the Japanese art of Bōjutsu which is a weapon-based martial art which involve slashing, swinging, and stabbing with the staff and using the staff as a vaulting pole or as a prop for hand-to-hand strikes. He is skilled enough in Bōjutsu to be considered a green belt. But while he is reasonably skilled in close combat he would be swiftly defeated by those who specialise getting in close to their opponents so instead he mostly uses his fists and staff to either get away from his opponents so he can either run away or get out of his opponents range so he can use his spellcraft from a safe distance.

Weaknesses:
Ooh Shiny
David is a keen student of the arcane but also has little experience with the outside world and as such can easily be distracted by interesting sights or magical items
He also has a slight money fetish and can simply be bribed to do things for the right price. He can not be bribed to do something that goes against his nature such as harming his friends but can instead be bribed to do small favours, create minor magical items or help out with a prank.
He is also quite absent-minded and prone to either daydreaming or simply staring off into space talking to himself.

Squishy
While he is a talented mage for his age David is still only a baseline human and has yet to learn how to enhance his body with magic to perform super-human feats. As of such he only has the physical abilities and vulnerabilities of an athletic 15-year old boy, and due to his young age he has not completely come into his full magic power and risks exhausting himself if he uses to many high-level spells.

Om nom nom
All magic costs energy, and while David's skill with magic is considered above-average his energy reserves are not. As of such whenever he uses a fair amount of power he is left considerably drained afterwards and usually eats a great deal of food or rests for a while to restore his energy reserves, and after his discovery of junk-food has developed a large sweet-tooth.

Equipment You Have:
Rune inscribed staff used to reduce cost and increase power of spells, as well as being quite study for use in hand-to-hand combat. (David is capable of crafting a new one if his current staff gets damaged)
Smartphone
High-end laptop
Bag of holding
Various magical tomes
Various magical regents for item creation
Bank card connected to to family account
Ring that contains Tom

Memory of Chaos
One Use Item: A lingering thought of horror from the conflict with The Beast. When focused on and remembered, the user gains hyper awareness of the entire area. They can know roughly where everything is in the immediate vicinity until the end of the topic, but exhausts very quickly.

Residency Request: Yuki


Schedule:
Homeroom Teacher:Hiro
1)Supernatural Studies
2)History
3)Literature

Personality Description:
David's personality depends on how much stress he is currently under. In low stress situations he is jovial, light-hearted and always in the mood for a bit of fun ranging from harmless pranks, socialising or adventuring with friends. However in high stress situations he becomes much more serious, pragmatic, aggressive and unsociable.

Even though he comes from a wealthy family he is surprisingly down to earth, this is mostly due to his lack of contact with other people and desire to distance himself from his family, and while he can act the perfect picture of a haughty noble gentleman if he wishes he prefers not to.

When it comes to interacting with others David always seeks to form lasting bonds with others due to his lonely upbringing. He is unshakeably loyal to whoever manages to become his friend.

He does however have several triggers that cause his anger to rise:
The first of them would be bullying, he hates it when people pick on those weaker then them especially for petty reasons.

The second is the betrayal of trust, David is a friendly person most of the time and believes that everyone deserves a chance, and when people abuse that chance it hurts him deeply.

But what enrages him above all others is when someone hurts those dear to him, David cherishes his friends above everything else up to including his own life if the situation called for it, and if someone was to hurt the people precious to him they should prepare to face a berserk wind mage coming at them with everything he has.

Due to his only interaction with others being his distant parents and spoilt siblings, David has no idea of how to deal with affection. Receiving even simple things like an affectionate ruffle of the hair or a genuine hug. Can cause him to freeze up as he has no idea how to deal with actual affection. God knows what's going to happen when he gets his first kiss.


Personal History: The second child out of three from a upper-class family of wealthy mages David was subjected to middle child syndrome as his parents either spoiled his younger brother Stephen or spent most of their time with his older brother James grooming him for his role as heir to the family and leaving David's upbringing to his private tutors who cut him off from contact with the world outside his family's estate

Growing up in the shadow of his vastly more talented and favoured older brother had a peculiar effect on David. Instead of damaging his self-esteem it in fact raised it, David started to dream big, he dreamed of becoming a mage so famous and powerful that he would be acknowledged by sorcerers as powerful as the twelve wizard saints as their equal. He wants this so that he could finally step out of his brothers shadow and become his own man. And so he devoted himself to the magical arts at an early age.

It was when he turned fifteen he put his plan into action, he confronted his parents and asked them to have him enrolled in school that could best advance his talents through real world experience and where he could make some friends his own age who wouldn't judge him by his abilities

And so in the year 2014 a boy who aspired to be the greatest mage ever, enrolled in a school that had produced countless legends before him. And that school was Shin Hyakuji High


Mashed Potatoes? If there is no spoon then how can I find the proof in the pudding?!!
