Fav. Food: Lollipops, most any pizza (w. lots of cheese and sauce), lasagna, chewy candies Hated Food: Ginger and ginger-flavors foods, slimy vegetables, liver
Height: 6' 0" Weight: 141 lbs Eyes: Cerulean blue, if often squinting. Hair: Short, black, kind of messy. He also has a small goatee patch kept short and neat. Face: Light tan, strong features; is often told he looks a bit older than he is.
Physique:
Medium frame, runner's build (lean and thin, toned legs and slim upper body).
Clothes:
Comfortable. Doesn't care for trends but has learned to dress himself and looks presentable more often than not.
Hobbies:
Puzzles — He loves puzzles of just about any kind. Ever since he was younger he's always had a knack for it, and just being able to put something together always gave him a simple kind of contentment and joy. Be it jigsaw puzzles, word puzzles, picture puzzles, logic puzzles, sliding puzzles, or just about anything with the word "puzzles" in or at the end of it, you name and he's probably tried it. His all-time favorite, though, is the original Rubik's Cube, and he always has one on his person (usually a small-but-useable keychain). One of his most treasured possessions is his very first Cube, though the colors are almost completely faded and it's quite literally ready to fall apart. It's retired and has since been safely put away and replaced, but whenever he's bored he'll pull his latest Cube out, mess it up and put it back together again.
Tinkering — Something like an extension of his love for puzzles, at some point in his pre-teen years he picked up tinkering. He enjoys taking things apart and putting them back together, then taking them apart again. For the most part he'll only take apart old gadgets and things from past generations to farm parts for his projects, but sometimes, if he's really curious, he'll take apart something more recent (like an older model flat-screen TV, for instance). He'll try to upgrade his own stuff too, though more often than not without much success, so it wouldn't be unusual to find, say, an alarm clock with an extra doodad attached to it that makes it more (or less) useful in some way or another. Any scrap leftover from his projects is usually sold for a bit of extra cash.
Cooking — The way he sees it, cooking is just another puzzle that you've got to put together. Unfortunately for everyone, including himself (because he would never not eat something he made since he's responsible for its creation), almost everything he cooks just comes out...bad. It could be his approach, his style, his tendency to make unnecessary alterations to the recipe, but the end-result of him cooking is just this incredibly presentable, but surprisingly inedible dish that one would be very discouraged to even taste, let alone take a whole bite. He knows he's not very good, but he still finds a good level of enjoyment with the art. DJ feels he could improve if given more opportunity to practice, though his friends would all disagree. He can, however, bake a mean chocolate chip cookie. Hey, at least it's something, right?
Coins — Usually the old kind, but just about any interesting coin will do. He found a small coin collection while he was going through the attic, scrounging for his latest "project" and came upon it by chance. Unfortunately they weren't worth much, so he's just been adding onto it for most of his life. Occasionally he'll have the urge to go through old antique shops or garage sales for something to add to his collection, but usually he'll happen upon a new coin by chance or someone gives him a new one. As a lucky charm of sorts he likes to keep one coin from this collection with him at all times. When he's just standing or waiting around and he's got nothing else to do though, he'll sometimes start fiddling with whatever coin he's got to keep his hands busy.

Alias:Ashur Knight of Uranus Challenge: "All in due time." Lineage: Descendant (maternal) Signet Ring: (acquired)
Aspect:
Unlock — The clothes and hair of Uranus Knights are always being teased by a persistent, swirling breeze. When they move that wind is always at their backs, giving a boost to their running speed and jumping distance. Other Knights of the same rank would have a lot of trouble trying to outrun those of Uranus. [link]
Weapon:
Page — [Sticks] Sticks, two of them, each about 14" long, and made of balsa wood. It could probably give you a splinter if you're not careful. Squire — [Staff] The two sticks have fused together, forming a staff about 4' tall, about 10cm in diameter and made of oak. There is a sort of design carved into the length of the staff; should have the Uranus symbol somewhere in the design. Knight — [Ornate Staff] The staff is now made of a titanium alloy, though it is hollow; it has grown is now about 5'6" tall and 15cm in diameter. There is a more intricate design emblazoned along the length of the staff.
Magic:
Page — None! Squire — When he spins the stick with both hands at arms' length in front of him (can be shifted up and down, but not side to side), a shield of air that is able to deflect certain attacks is formed. Though it is still relatively weak, it can block close range (i.e. most attacks making contact with the shield; a punch aimed at the side of his head, for example, would still make a hit) and deflect long ranged attacks (i.e. arrows or projectile magic). It works about 80% percent of the time, and gets progressively weaker the longer he uses it; he would not be able to block or deflect any attacks from anyone at a higher level than him. It can be used in bursts for up to a total of 30 seconds. Knight — While holding his staff in front of him and focusing, he can summon a gale force wind to blow directly in front of him. It forms a wall, stretching 7ft up and 5ft on either side of him, and has a wind speed of 50 mph. Enemies caught in this wind will experience lowered visibility and difficulty in walking forward/moving around. It is less effective on anyone of a higher rank than him. Allies will find that they are caught in a wind current that guides them toward the edge of the wall and out of the path of his magic. While the most his magic can do is impede one's vision and movement, debris (such as small branches or stones) that gets caught in it can do damage (at player discretion). The air immediately surrounding him also picks up to the same speed, keeping him in a wind bubble and difficult to access while he channels his magic. He has a magic pool of up to 45 seconds. (approved revision)

Virtues:
Helpful — DJ is the guy who's more than happy to help someone (especially a close acquaintance or classmate) in need. Are you new to the school? He'll give you the tour! Need help fixing up that project? He'll volunteer (especially if it involves building or putting something together)! Need to copy his homework? Well...he's got a set of morals he follows, but he's more than willing to tutor you! Is he not the man for the job? Well he'll probably help you find the guy (or girl) who is! He's not afraid to put himself out there and reach out to other people, be the shoulder to cry on, the guy to celebrate with, and just about anything in between. If it's something he can help with, he's almost always among the first to volunteer.
Gung-Ho — DJ's the guy that gets excited at the start of just about anything, and he'll put 150% into whatever new thing he's got on his mind. It's easy to get this guy to jump on board any new project or idea, if only for the novelty of starting a new project or developing a new idea. He'll put almost all of his time, effort, and focus into it, and for as long as his attention is on that one new thing, you can be sure you'll get his best work. When the next new thing comes though, good luck trying to get him back. Generally speaking, if he likes just about any idea he'll be all for it; it doesn't necessarily have to pertain to his various projects. As long as it's something novel or just plain interesting (and it's not illegal or guaranteed fatal) then it's almost certain that DJ's gonna jump on that wagon.
Orderly — He's a neat and tidy sort of guy, whatever anyone else may say about his appearance. Everything has a place and, while he's not necessarily obsessive-compulsive, he works hard to make sure things stay in their designated spots. He'll take the time to make sure his room is spick and span, usually two or three times a week. This actually also applies when he's asked to clean up somewhere else, and he'll probably also take it to the next level. Not only would the space be near-spotless, but everything would probably be organized by function, size, shape, and alphabetically by brand - even the cleaning utensils. He'll even volunteer to clean up the gym or a teacher's office if he's really out of things to do or looking for a distraction, and it's a really good way for him to clear his head.
Game — If you're looking for someone to try something - almost anything - new with, DJ's your man! It doesn't take a lot to convince him to try something as long as it's new. The way he sees it, life isn't worth living if you're stuck with the same complacent, boring, day-to-day business, which is why he tries to keep his life, and the lives of those around him, fresh and exciting every day. Not to say that it always works, but it's never hurt (much!) to keep trying thus far. It doesn't necessarily have to be something that gets your adrenaline pumping; it could be as simple as trying to eat an experimental sandwich. As long as his death isn't a certainty (like snorting live fire ants), he'll probably give it a try at least once.
Flaws:
Guarded — While he's ready and willing to jump out and be the one to help someone out, he's not quite so easily trusting of other people. He keeps his feelings and emotions mostly (if not completely) to himself, and he doesn't really trust other people with anything personal. He keeps everyone at a safe, friendly distance, and when someone tries to pop his little bubble of safety, he'll just simply back up and ignore the concerned party's looks and questions. He'll avoid getting too close to anyone if he can; if he can't, he'll still consider them a friend (or at least a close acquaintance) and will help from a safer distance. This usually means via the internet or through mutual friends. If someone pushes too hard though, he won't react violently, but rather will just start avoiding them altogether.
Non-Commital — Though he's quick to jump onto the next new project, that doesn't necessarily mean that he'll see it through to the end. That is, he's great at starting but not so great at finishing. His main issue isn't so much that he's quick to lose interest, though that does also happen, but his attention is just quick to go on to the next new thing, and when that happens everything else just gets shoved out of the way. This affects just about every area of his life - half-done homework, unfinished meals, etc. Most often it happens when he's faced with a task he just doesn't want to do (i.e. homework), or he's been working on it for a long time and is starting to get bored with it (i.e. a project). If he's given something relatively short-term and he's genuinely interested though, he'll eventually get it done.
Curious — Most everyone that knows him knows that he asks a lot of questions. Way too many questions probably, and it oftentimes annoys the crap out of the people he's asking. He's persistent and unrelenting with his questions until his curiosity is satiated, and he'll poke and prod and probe you with any and all inquiries pertaining to the subject of his focus. He's the guy that pisses off his teachers in class when they can't continue with their lecture because he keeps going back to and expounding on a previous question that he asked not two minutes earlier. The most popular answer for those who know him well enough is, "I don't know." It won't always work right away, especially if he knows you would know the answer, but for the most part it pacifies him and he moves on to looking up information on his own. ** It should be noted, though, that sometimes he finds amusement in repeatedly asking someone, who's obviously losing their patience with him, "Why?" Emphasis on sometimes, if only because most of the time he's genuinely asking questions because he just really wants to know.
Distractible — It's probably something like a side-effect of his interest in all things new, but he's incredibly easy to distract. If he's busy with a long-term project or a homework assignment, just pop by with an odd idea or a dare and he'll drop what he's doing to accommodate you. He has something like a radar for "all things (he finds) interesting," and if he sees something that piques his interest he'll follow and/or observe it, whether he's with a group or not. He might also jump from one topic during a conversation to another without regard for what other people are saying if his level of interest just suddenly drops or he sees something that he finds curious. He'll just insert a comment and the topic may suddenly go from how awesome peach cobbler is to why Mr. So-and-So's bald spot is square-shaped.
