Blood Type: I have tattoos. That means I cant donate the stuff, right? Is that how that works?
Fav. Food: Fast Food, Crock Pot Meals, anything cheap and easy to make. Loves most all foods.
Hated Food: Shellfish, but only because he's alergic to it. Otherwise he would eat it.Can totally eat the imitation stuff.
School: f** no...Work is hard enough; and school is a form of work. Who would do that to themselves?
Hobbies:
Cartoons Because his inner child needs it! Plus, old cartoons are hilarious. If you cant laugh at bugs bunny, you need to get help. Seek out your nearest professional proctologist immediately. That stick wont get itself unstuck.
Comics: Comics, Manga, reading material with pictures, because some books are TLDR. Though he is a fan of some of the junior titles and of course Graphic novels. Maybe he collects art books too..Not always the ones for games, but sometimes the stuff inside is just so beautiful! He's always open to read something if it's suggested to him. So long as it's not insanely boring, or above his own level of comprehension. Tolkien? Sure! Freud? Not unless you're holding him at knife point.
Collecting: It's always odd bits and ends, that no one could define as a true collection. He wonders if maybe hoarding would be the better description for it. He has that one old game token that has the original rat on it instead of the mouse. He keeps all of his movie ticket stubs, even the crappy ones. He'll keep all foreign currency he get's back from the supermarket by accident, and no he doesn't want to exchange it; this one has swords on it! Oh and this one has an oil vase thing, and look a maple leaf!
Binge All The Things: If he's going to see the one, he's going to see them all..or at least see as much as he can in 15 episode intervals. 25 at once is a daunting task, and watching T.V in any form should never be a challenge, so 15 episodes on any given day is his limit.
Virtues:
Softer Side: The story of the little prince makes him cry. He loves animals and kids, maybe because he feels more mentally on their level....He'll agree to watch a chick flick, just as quickly as he'll refuse to take his feet off the table. What he lacks in genuine forethought; he makes up for in little endearing gestures. He'll forget to do that one thing you asked him to do, but remember your favorite brand of chocolate.
Heart On His Sleeve: He's an honest guy, who can't hide his emotions any better than your average nine year old. Sad is Sad, happy is happy, etc. He's not afraid to talk about it either, honestly. How the hell else are people supposed to know how you're feeling, unless you tell them? He doesn't do the whole 'read between the lines thing', and wouldn't make anyone work that hard just to figure him out. No one should have to work to hard when it comes to people. The world is rough enough..
Accepting: "There are no bad people. Just good people who make bad choices." That's his mantra. He doesn't expect anyone to be perfect, only to be human. Lots of good people in the world make bad decisions for all sorts of reasons. He likes to try and be open and understanding of that. He's happy to hang with the guy on the street corner as he is to hang with the posh chick in the pent house. He doesn't believe he has the right to go about judging others; casting stones and all that. After all, he lives in a glass house too.
Flaws:
Lazy as Heck: He has a real grownup job, and a real grownup life, and refuses to take on any more time consuming responsibilities outside of that. He will let those dishes sit, and that trash pile up, and yes that is his private collection of yager bottles lining the entire kitchen table, no don't clean it, he'll get to it eventually...Sometimes he wants to go out, but the idea of just laying there binge watching something or other on his time off seems like a far better idea. The lure of getting a well deserved twelve hours of sleep is too enticing. In a coin toss between activities and lounging about, lounging will always win.
Will Have That Last laugh: It may take him a hundred tries, two hundred tries. He can be a dog with a bone tenacious about winning an argument in regard to certain topics, or proving his point. Even when he's wrong. He doesn't let it go easily. Even when someone has proof that he's wrong, he'll argue the subject to death. Until whoever he's talking to gives up and walks away, knowing the point is lost on him.
Funny, or a ********> Absolutely will take that one joke to far; to the point beyond annoyance. He personally loves getting those really nasty looks as he talks way to loud about inappropriate things, and makes all the dead baby jokes, while shopping in the supermarket. He is that one friend that poured ammonia on spots in your carpet and then preceded to convince you that you had a mystery rat/cat somewhere pissing all over everything! He thought it'd be hilarious to set the firecrackers up in the back yard..aimed at you..and the house...just to get a laugh, mostly for himself. He's not sorry about the window, and he will pay for it, eventually.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: Light
Hair: Dark Brown, Medium Length. Either Choppy and Wiry, or Curly.
Uniform: Every Court Needs a Jester; Think Venice Carnival with Venus Colors, and a draw string sack. Feel free to take artistic license with the design and weapon design. The rest of this is more for inspirational purposes than actual set in stone design ideas.
Top -- Simple Jester Body Suit, (Cheap Costume store variety) will become more elaborate later on. Bottoms -- Same as Top. Gloves -- Yes - because otherwise glitter everywhere! Belt -- Sash with the jingles. Shoes -- Pointy bell. Accessories -- Half mask to start. Possible turban?
Page - Bag of 'Love-Dust' A bag full of eye-glitter. Annoying, but harmless. Close range use required.
Squire - Bag of 'Love-Me-Lots' Karim can now attack from a distance of about 5 ft away. Within the larger bag are smaller, fragile, hackey sack sized bags full of sparkly, colorful, slightly sticky powder.
The Magics: Karim brings each bag to his lips (Or the painted lips of his mask) and gives it a kiss to activate the magic within, before lobbing it at his opponent. If the bag hits, his opponent spends the next 30 seconds infatuated with the first thing their eyes land on. Literally itching with the need to show the object some form of affection. An opponent of strong will can resist. However, the longer an opponent resists, the worse the itching gets. Eventually forcing a target to claw at themselves should they resist for the duration of the effect.
Knight - Bag of : ''Love Me Long Time's"
Love Me Long Times: Larger hacky sacks inside the larger bag.
Magics: Can now lob the bag up to 8ft away. The effect of the magic can now be drawn out to 60 seconds. The target, if hit, is compelled to focus all of their attention on showing affection to the first thing they see. They are unable to look away from it. Resisting becomes physically painful; like an imaginary hand is squeezing their heart. Should the object in question attempt to resist 'the target' (flee, be blocked by a magical barrier, etc.) The target in question will become increasingly emotional until the effect wears off or Karim ends the magic.
Karim can end the effect before the magic pool is used up. The effect also wears off if the object in question should vanish. (Someone teleports, or the object is physically destroyed.)
The Moth is extremely attracted to the bright colored powder Karim lobs about, and upon being summoned it will pick a marked target at random, and then fly directly into that targets face. The dust laden body of The Moth exaggerates the duration of Karims magic powder by adding on another 30 seconds. Th Moth also changes the targets focus from 'the first thing they see' to 'The Moth'. Forcing the target to now attempt to show affection towards The Moth. The Moth will then spend the next 30 seconds fluttering and darting about just out of reach, luring the target further away in a random direction.
The Moth can be summoned Twice, Maximum, in a 12 hour period. If the Marked targets fights the magic for more than 20 seconds, The Moth will dismiss itself. If The Moth takes an attack then it will vanish, and Karim must wait 48 hours before summoning it again.
ASPECT OF VENUS: Venus Knights are quite literally radiant with beauty that even a god would envy, and theirs is practically unmarred. They heal extremely quickly from minor cuts, scrapes and bruises, making it difficult to wear them down with hits that only go skin-deep.

Information that has nothing to do with any of the required fields!!!
However I tend to flesh out out family, lifestyle, and all those other things before I even get into 'how do I make all these things = looks like this thing!' Guh..
This is how it is, and this is how it goes:
Pre: Divorced older parents, three older sisters, one younger sister, only boy.
Mom from: India escaping tradition, return to tradition, four girls 1 boy. Moves back with youngest girl to take care of aging/dying parents.
Dad From: Pakistan looking to grow a business, failed dreams, 1 boy, too many girls not enough 'wife time'. Stays in US and New York to keep grounded for remaining children, who also live in the states, though they're scattered.
Post: His turn out of the nest: Because if they could do it..He would do something else. California seemed all the rage, sun, surf, carefreeness? Hollywood handouts? He didn't care, he'd hop a plane, learn to surf, change his name! Except none of that happened, because all of those things required more effort and motivation than he imagined. His initial boost of 'I'll show everyone, make a name of myself." died the moment said people were no longer an ever-present force in his life. It was a little hard to get yelled at by someone who cared, when he didn't own a phone;' especially when said someone was thousands of miles away. It wasn't like they could just pop into the home he didn't actually live in and give him a talking to..
For awhile, he was okay with that. It was fun. Then reality sunk in. People without jobs couldn't buy things or have access to stuff or enjoy basics..Shelters were scary, being hungry was scary. He was a soft little marshmallow of a person who'd used his family, their handouts and their homes..He'd never had to be a real adult before.
He quickly realized that being a couch surfing beach bum was much more difficult than being a lazy a** with a menial job type of bum. Couch hopping led to weird places and occasional invasions of privacy, sleeping on the beach led to crabs..Literal crabs. Sand in all the wrong places - FOR DAYS!
So he got himself a basic job, swore promises and got some initial money from said family to get him into a basic loft, and he settled in DC. It was closer to work, public transport..Of course once he settled he became sedentary, he liked being the kind of stone that gathered moss.
Job: Think your local "Cable Tech receptionist Guy, did you try turning it on and off? Is the green light flashing? Leme reset your modem for you..."
Family ETC Info:
Father: Ashtad Kaye - 60 - Born Tabriz Iran - Emigrated to America to start a business. The business fell through, but on the bright side he did meet the lovely (), and together they had 5 beautiful children together.
Mother: Fareeda Pujal - 55 -
Sister: Leena Kaye - 35 -
Sister: Cynthia Kaye - 34 - They wanted to try for a boy quickly after the first girl, and what'd they get? Well, a girl, but always in competition with Leena (and everyone else she met). When Leena left the home to pursue college and her career? So did Cynthia, the same year. When Leena met some shmuck with a nice car and a steady job? Cynthia met an even nicer girl, with an even nicer car..Some model chick. The point; whatever Leena tried to do Cynthia tried to do better, she wanted to be mamas strongest girl, and papas best 'son'. She's always scolding Karim for being a useless lazeabout. He's of course always happy to admit that she's all the boy the family needs, much to her frustration.
Sister: Elina Kaye- 30 - Sweet, quiet, bookish. Elina stayed out of everything, every fight, every scrabble for affection between five kids. She somehow even managed to stay, very quietly, out of the divorce. She was always more intelligent then the rest of them. She studied her way into scholarships and free programs, spent her time more at libraries than at home. When Karim want's wisdom, the quit kind, he knows who to call. She's also the best at telling people to go ******** themselves; without ever saying a word. It's all quiet smiles and this look, Karim wishes she could teach him that, but he doesn't think he has the face for it.
Brother: Karim Kaye - 25 - Born in New York, moved to DC at age 24. Karim is nearly the youngest of the family, and the last out of his fathers house. His sisters are successful in their own right. They got jobs, good schooling, they worked hard for everything; they earned it. They tend to tease, pep talk, and scold baby brother..only brother..For taking advantage of being the only boy.
Sister: Deepika Kaye - 16 - Youngest of the family, adorable treasured little sister, everyone else spoils the heck out of her. Currently living in mom back in Chennai India; helping her care for Nanni and Naana in their end years. They write, Skype, text, and Karim and his siblings splurge to exchange gifts over the holidays. Deppika likes sending them hand woven bracelets.

HI Shini!
First off, I want to say I love the magic concept here. I'm overjoyed by the sheer adorableness of the mental images I get from this take on knight magic.
For your knight magic, just remember this is a pool of magic. The Squire's magic didn't quite read that way but I see the disclaimer in the Knight's section.
Also, just so you're aware Summons actually pull from the Knight's magic pool, while this adds about 15 seconds to the magic pool they still use the same pool as the Knight so they cannot sadly extend the knight's magic for any length of time. So long as Persepolis has enough magic pool left, he can summon his moth companion! Summons also do not have nor need an amount of times they can be summon because of this. As long as the knight has a pool of magic, they can summon their summons.
Litttle fiddly note for IC sake is that I notice you use Karim in your knight's attacks, this confused me a little, as any senshi, knight or negaverse agent does not go by their real names when using their attack. They go by their cosmic body, wonder or mineral name. This is so their identity is protected from those who would want to harm them.
Also, for the uniform the rules say he can't have a mask that covers the eyes, nor can he have a full mask unless it's a held weapon or the character is half-youma. You could have a mask as a personal item however if you want the mask as a worn accessory it has to be a half mask from the nose down.
