Description or Image of Character Appearance:

How you'd usually see him on his days off


Cosplaying as some form of knight?


He looks normal, but is definitely planning something. His original hair colour is anyone's guess

Occupation: Student/ SUPER PRO DISGUISER!!!!

Grade Level: 1st

Powers/ Abilities:

TITAAANIUUUM STRIIING!:

Gideon has the ability to create durable strings, on level with titanium. These strings are created by Gideon, by having him place his hand at any point in a wall/floor, then going to another wall and repeating the process. Upon doing so, one of the previously mentioned strings materializes and stays there until he removes it himself, it is broken, or the wall or floor that is holding it collapses. In any of these situations, the strings themselves disappear.

Alternatively, he is able to connect limbs to strings, he wouldn't need to touch the limb itself with his hand to connect a string to it, just a wall if he is connecting it to a wall. The strings cause no strain on his body from being there and being pulled, at most, if say he was literally holding from a ceiling with a string, he'd quickly feel some pain in the arm from holding that position, similar to the effect that grabbing onto a bar and hanging from it with bare hands would have.

As of the moment, he is only able to keep 4 strings existing at any point in time, if he tries to create more, the first one he made before disappears. Additionally, he can only connect two limbs to strings at any point in time, in the case that he connects two limbs with a string, he wouldn't be able to connect any more. Also, the maximum length for a single string is 15 meters.

Lastly, as far as properties of the strings themselves go, the strings have a "memory" so to speak. What this means is that if they are pulled without being broken, they'll return to their original place. It also means that they can be used as a nice makeshift sling if one was to connect them to two walls at the very least 10 meters apart.

THE COVER!:

Once per thread per "covered" character, Gideon can, for 3 posts, optimize the clothing that another character wears, by touching the character and voluntarily ativating the skill. This increases the person's speed strength and durability times 1.25. He can't do it for himself, but he does have something, further explained in equipment. Clothing affected gets a large smiley face plastered on it.

Miscellaneous skills that don't really count as powers:

- He is able to sew really well with all kinds of sewing equipment, even if he can't use his strings for that.

-Gideon strongly believes he has a talent for art, and as such, frequently tries to modify existing places to fit what he considers "artsy". Whether he is actually good at art is debatable, but he is in fact fast at doing relatively good remodelling of places (fast as in he can take a day or little bit more) using random materials.

Equipment You Have:

Armourall!: The reason why he is unable to create a cover for himself is because all of his clothing has a weaker, but longer lasting version of THE COVER. his strength is augmented times 1.05 and his resistance is about good enough that a strong punch wouldn't do much damage as long as it hits a covered part of his body. He can't create the same armour for others as it required extensive study of his own body type and measurements, as well as moderation when he eats in order to craft regular clothing into armour, since it is a more "fitting" type, not doing so would have proved from pointlessly wasting time with an addition that does nothing, and if it hadn't been for the fairy that gave him the powers guiding him through it, he wouldn't have been able to.

He needs to have that protection as he has had string related accidents before.

Nowadays he can account for everything almost thoughtlessly, and does it instinctively for all his clothing.

Other equipment includes:

-Everything relating to sewing: (needles, different types of threads, yarns, and so on and so forth, he even has access to a sewing machine, but not on his dorm)

-Random garbage he collects, such as discarded paper bags, plastic, tupperware, blankets, etc.

-Standard student things: phones a laptop etc.

Personality Description:

"Change is good~"

Gideon is a person that can't stand still no matter what he does. But rather than spending his time trying sports, or pursuing friendships, he prefers to modify himself and the environment he lives in through his own perceptions of what is artful at the moment.

It is his belief that he cannot progress unless he continuously faces any issues he has in a completely different manner, not only by trying different point of views, or thinking why an argument might or might not work, but by actually dressing differently whenever it is possible.

Rules for him are an obstruction at times, however, he appreciates them, as they allow him to act within limits, and bring forth ideas that would have not flourished otherwise. His costumes are an example of this reasoning, had the authorities stayed quiet about him, he would have only modified his town, possibly limiting himself to it and never meeting the fairy.

That said, he does hold moments with people he appreciates dear, as shown by the fact that he still uses the jester outfit. It was an important memory of his meeting with Vina, which in turn allowed him to fulfil his desire to change the clearing or valley he had found.

Lastly, despite his occasional prankster streaks, Gideon is fundamentally happy with aiding others, either for his own reasons, to expand his ideas, or because he genuinely cares about the person.

Personal History:

Odd people attract odd problems. Gideon's case was that of a young suburban boy with a peculiar interest in creating things, particularly with threads, due in large part the local authorities and his parents constant scolding over modifying the main streets to include confetti and balloons all over, as well as a coat of red paint over the floor that utterly confused drivers.

As such, he limited himself to believe that every single day was Halloween, disregarding all social norms, he started doing so at 8, where he would just go walking in the nearby forest, thinking of all the things he wouldn't be allowed to do even if, as far as he was concerned, they would all be improvements. Once he found a small hole, just enough for a single person to go through it, and his curiosity got the better of him, leading him to find a small "valley" of sorts. The area was wide, and there was a clear look at the skies, but, outside of the hole he found, there were no other entrances, none that he could see at the very least.

An unending desire to modify the place overcame him, but tried as he might, it turned out impossible to do so. He couldn't understand why, but it seemed as every single one of his ideas was too small, not something that would add to the already beautiful place.

His chance would only come 3 years later, during one of his visits at 11 years old. He had spent some time gazing at the place thinking of what to do, when his head was hit hard by something. Gideon fell on the ground, and at his side what he saw left him speechless.

The poor thing, look at the state in which she was.


A wounded fairy, oddly shaped due to the accident she just had. The fairy spoke a few moments later explaining that she was named Vina, she had lost her way home, and the jester outfit that Gideon wore caused the fairy to confuse him for Puck, an important figure for her society.

She stated that she couldn't fly any longer, and without the proper heat and water, she would die soon as well. Gideon finally found the reason to modify the place. He brought from home, multiple string, a few small but durable blankets, a paper bag, and a good amount of newspaper, all inside of a bag. He tied a blanket to four trees surrounding it as a hammock, , and 4 strings coming from the centre to keep it up, he pasted the newspaper on the inside of it, and similarly to what he did before, he sewed the paper bag to the blanket, and kept it standing with the strings, making a small door like opening on one side for the fairy to enter.

He left a bottle of water for her to drink from as she needed, and with that, the fairy had a decent home to heal. Visiting her every day, he grew closer to Vina, until one day.

"HEY, HEY LISTEN LISTEN!"

Used to that he cringed a bit, but paid attention as Vina explained that she had to thank him for the help, and as such she'd grant him a connection to the strings he loved so much.

Gideon was overjoyed, as any child would when offered something even remotely magical, leading to his thread abilities, weeks later Vina went away...

Only to return about once a week because she didn't have much else to do. She tried to teach him as much as she could about his own powers, but, knowing that the only thing she had done, had been to give him a magical awakening in the form of a connection, and that his limits were unknown, she figured that it would be better for humans to teach humans.

Thus, through the power of Google and continuous attempts at convincing his parents, Gideon was sent to Hyakuji.

Mashed Potatoes? I want proof of pudding being included into piecaken, and I want it now.
