 Name: Kinsey Nott
Nickname: Most just call him Nott, it's easier.
Nationalities:
Age: 15
Birthday: October 27, 2009
Sign: Scorpio
Gemstone: Opal
Blood Type: Blood? Not a damn clue, doesn't want to know. AB- though.
Height: 5'8"
Weight: No idea.
Fav. Food: Likes "light" foods like white fish and shell fish. White wine sauces with his food. He doesn't like heavy foods or anything savory really.
Hated Food:
School: Azure Valley Academy - scholarship got him in.
Hobbies:
Reading: If it isn't a manual for some new purchase by his family, so he can put it together or fix it for them, then it's a book that he's reading for his own enjoyment. Rather than reading non-fiction Kinsey prefers fiction, he likes to get lost in what he's reading, a good story is always a good thing to get lost in if you ask Kinsey. It's his love of books, and a secret santa that his classroom had last year, which resulted in a dark green and gray sweater with his last name on the back of it. It was a gift from a classmate who ordered it from the Harry Potter online store for him - he secretly adores it. Reading also provides ideas for things he can craft and build for himself.
Crafting: From booknooks to other interesting crafts Kinsey enjoys creating things inspired by the many books he reads, though not taking from any single thing for a project. He takes inspiration from things - nothing directly from a book he's read. He likes to let his own imagination run wild with what he gets into making. It's one reason he spends so much time after school - at school. It may be only an hour or two a day but it's monday thru friday that he stays, working on things. He doesn't have the tools at home, plus he'd never be allowed to make such things at home, but at school he can hide himself away in a room and craft all manner of things. He's seen what others online have made and has taken ideas from that, as well as learned new methods to achieve certain looks he is going for. He had little lanterns made out of metal, which he laser cut himself, with the inside of the lantern looking like a fairy inhabited forest - it's one of his favorite projects. When Azure Valley is closed, for the night, Kinsey will often wander himself to the library to work on other projects seperate from whatever he is working on after school at Azure.

 Knight Santa Maria Novella of Ganymede Challenge: Go away.
Weapon and magic: Page Weapon: A wooden letter opener with gold inlay, see the image for something of an idea for the detailing..
Squire: An ornate walking stick, with a gold embellished handle, has replaced the letter opener. For the magic when channeled it can last 35 seconds at most and will range ten feet around him. Tapping his walking stick on the ground will activate his magic, sending it rippling out in a “pool” of red magic that’ll leave every opponent within a ten foot radius of him feeling like they are drunk - as if they indulged in far too many drinks. Slurring speech, staggering, falling over, walking into things, and even vomiting. Anything you might experience when very drunk - it is possible here. People can, of course, walk out of his range and effects will taper off, at player discretion, but for those unable to leave the range of his attack thigns will get worse the longer they are there. Players can, of course, choose how to play this out.
Knight Weapon: It’s a cane, similar to a walking stick, but the gold handle is now that of a serpent's head, with red stores for eyes and the ganymede symbol on its forehead. The tip of the walking stick is also golden now, with more decoration. Tapping the stick to the ground activates Novella’s magic and sends out a ripple of red along the ground. Novella can channel his magic for 45 seconds total. Novella’s magic will make every opponent within a twelve foot radius of him feel as if they’ve not only over indulged in their drink to the point of being drunk but that they have alchol poisioning. Again, people can manage to escape his range of effect, and tghings will taper off at player discretion, while those who remain in his range will progressivly feel worse. Again, it is up to player discretion how to handle this.
The symptoms of such are: Confusion, slowed responses, lack of coordination, vomiting, difficulty remaining conscious, slower breathing, slower heart rate, Cold, clammy or bluish-colored skin (cyanosis), especially around the lips and fingernails, Low body temperature, seizures, and Problems with bladder or bowel control.

 The Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella is a perfumery and herbalist shop in Florence, in Tuscany in central Italy. It is not a pharmacy and does not sell medicines, but is sometimes described as "the oldest pharmacy in the world".[1]
Its origins can be traced back to the Dominican monastery of Santa Maria Novella and the mediaeval medicines created by the monks. A retail operation was established in Via Reginaldo Giuliani in 1612 by Fra Angiolo Marchissi, becoming famous over the coming centuries for the quality and salubrious benefits of its products, ranging from perfumes, pot pourri and toiletries, to liqueurs, medicinal balms, and foods. It remained in the ownership of the Church of Santa Maria Novella until 1866, when the property was confiscated by the Kingdom of Italy and sold to a private owner.
The Church of Santa Maria Novella and its monastery were established in 1221 outside the city gates of Florence. The monks began experimenting with herbs and flowers grown in the monastic garden, creating soothing balms, elixirs, and other medicaments. By 1381 an on-site infirmary was in operation, where the monks' products were used for treating themselves and Florentine patients. One of the products developed about this time was a distilled rose water intended to treat the plague, at the height of the Black Death.
Powerful scented waters were developed in medieval times including "Santa Maria Novella Water" and digestive aids like lozenges (Pasticche di Santa Maria Novella). By the mid 16th century the pharmacy's widespread fame induced the monks to offer their products for sale to the public for the first time. The shop expanded its product range, developing curative tonics and perfumes including Acqua della Regina, a fragrance specially designed for Catherine de Medici, Queen of France, the pharmacy's most important patron.
In 1749, one of the Officine's apothecaries, Fra' Cosimo Bucelli, codified Santa Maria Novella's extensive recipes in a book, "I segreti della Fonderia di Sua Altezza Reale" ("The Secrets of the Foundry of His Royal Highness" ). It was Bucelli who developed the foundry's famous alcoholic liqueur, Alchermes, made from sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves (its deep scarlet color is obtained through dried and crushed ladybugs). [3] During the 17th century, Santa Maria Novella would turn its attention increasingly to developing new liqueurs, which had medicinal applications. Alchermes, for instance, was given to new mothers to aid their recovery from giving birth, while another famous liqueur, Elisir di China [it], contained quinine and was intended to treat malaria.

 Virtues:
Observant: Kinsey doesn’t talk much, some people can honestly say they’ve never heard his voice, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t there in the room and aware of things. He’s not sleeping or zoning out, far from it, he is aware of what is going on around him and little escapes his notice. Perhaps because he isn’t participating in conversations, so doesn’t need to think of what to say, he is able instead to focus on everything going on in the room? Either way Kinsey sees things, many things, and it has helped him lots with his step mother and her children.
Resiliant: Kinsey has been through a lot and understands that you can't stop bad things from happening, all you can do is endure. He has learned to grit his teeth and deal with whatever comes, even if it sucks. When a project gets hard, when he can't figure something out, he just keeps at it until he's figured it out. When he wants to give up studying for an exam - he keeps going. He pushes himself often because he'll get through it and he knows it. It's not something which lasts forever...the tough times are only for a little while - there is an end. Everything could always be worse anyway, something he'll always tell himself. Kinsey, if asked, wouldn't say he has a positive attiude but rather he'd call it realistic - things can always be worse...just as they can always be better. Perhaps that is having a positive attitude though?
Flaws:
Unapproachable: It’s rather hard to approach someone who doesn’t speak and doesn’t seem to do anything, other than stand or sit while everything goes on around them. Because of this it’s hard, impossible really, for Kinsey to make friends or connect to other people. If this bothers him he’s not telling anyone, which is of course part of the problem, but it’s just hard to approach people because he really doesn’t know what to talk to people about. If he has to talk Kinsey tries to keep things as short, and often rather softly spoken, as possible. He doesn’t like to raise his voice and he absolutely hates repeating himself, or answering dumb questions.
Independant: He can do it - he can take care of himself. Not only does Kinsey not need your help but he does not want it, why should he? He’s had to manage on his own for years now so why would he ask for someones help? He doesn’t expect it, he’s stopped expecting help years ago, so why bother ever asking and why even accept it? No one ever stepped in when he was doing everything before, no one in his school or family ever stepped in while knowing his family was dealing with a lot. If someone is giving help he is going to assume the person wants something in return, because no one ever gave him anything before so why now? He will assume it is for their later gain. This does mean he’s made his life a lot harder by not asking for help, leading to stress which could without a doubt be avoided, it also means that when things are hard for him he has no one to lean on or go to for help. It’s rather lonely. It also means he can come off as ungrateful because he does push help away, sometimes rather coldly. He is very solitary, because he does not talk to others, and can come across as arrogant or as if he thinks he can do things better than others. He also means when it comes to group orojects, of any sort, he can appear difficult to work with as he will just take on every task himself and allow no one else to do anything. It's as simple as that for him, he doesn't care what others think, he simply doesn't want to owe anyone anor does he trust anyone to do what he knows he can do - what he has done. Perhaps this is why people in school avoid him, some may watch him from a distance, but few if any approach him and he has come to accept this - he knows it's his fault and he accepts it.
