Age: 17 years old
School: Tidal Heights
Height: 5ft 9in
Weight: 150 Lbs
Hair: Blond
Eyes: Green
Skin: Pale Peach
Mother: Marietta Lures
Father: Wyatt Lures
Siblings: Gawain Lures(21), Gareth Lures(21), Lance Lures (20), Kay Lures (19), Lucan Lures(18 ), Ector Lures(14), Alymere Lures(14)
Pairing: I am interested in setting up a partner for Lockpick. His magical powers are primarily support oriented, so a partner who is combat oriented would be best. I was thinking of a possible Wound aspect. (Get it? Open Wound?) The pairing can be just for the magical modes, as friends, or more. Depending on what your interested in ^_^''

 Gymnast Since he was seven, Percival has enjoyed the challenge of gymnastics. The precision of balancing one's body, the stamina and strength demanded from ones muscles, and the speed required for fluid graceful movements captivated him. Percival has spent nearly his entire life practicing the routines and honing his body...for the sheer pleasure of it. Percival does not pursue Gymnastics as a carer goal, nor does he participate in competitions. When he was younger he thoroughly enjoyed learning the stretches and dance like moves that one could use on the balance beam. However, as he has grown older and lost some of the natural limberness of his 'youth' he has moved on to focusing more on the High Bar and Rings. Again, Percival cares nothing for competition. He finds the routines as soothing as a health inspired person may find a trip to the gym to be.
Independant Percival prefers not being influenced or controlled by other peoples opinions. Just because something seems to be popular or the general consensus, it does not automatically mean that Percival will accept it without giving it some thought. He does not like being a 'sheep' as it were. There is no excuse for not thinking for oneself in all matters of ones life.
Confident Self assured and marked with belief in himself, Percival embraces himself for who he is. He believes he knows all of his strengths and his weaknesses. This confidence that he has gained has allowed him to avoid moments of second guessing or hesitating when he needs to act on impulse. He trusts himself to make the right choices.
Needles Sharp, pointy, horrific instruments of torture! What better way to describe the way Percival views needles? No matter what purpose a needle may serve, be it in the hands of a doctor or seamstress, Percival has a horrible time allowing something so thin and sharp near his flesh. It's simply one of those fears that, no matter how rational he tries to be about it, will not go away. Percival's typical reaction to being pricked by a needle tends to be a fainting spell brought on by the slight pinch of pain.
Wrath Hell hath no Fury like a Lure slighted. Well, that may not be the exactly correct saying, but it has some key components that apply here. Like his father and his fathers father and so on to avoid redundancy, Percival has the ability to lose himself in a moment of fury. However, unlike many who seem to black out during these moments, Percival's mind seems to become keenly focused on his target. With a heightened sense of clarity, Percival is very much aware of each and every action he takes when he is overcome with his moment of wrath. During this time, Percival is likely to commit actions or say things that under normal senses he would never even consider. It should be noted that this does not mean that Percival has a short temper. His wrath does not come as a explosion at the height of emotions. It is a simmering illness that builds in his system until he has no control over keeping it contained.
Petty A fellow student makes a slighting comment about Percival. Five weeks later, when the comment is all but forgotten, the same student may ask Percival to borrow a pen for their test. The answer will be a cold shoulder and possible the answer of No. This is the degree of pettiness that Percival falls to. For any unkind remark or unthinking action, Percival notes it and bares a grudge for that single action. Even after he has had a moment to 'retaliate' the slight may not be forgotten. You may no longer be his friend or have the ability to become his friend. A apology of some kind may counter this flaw, or some kind action later on.
Lemonade A incredible miracle of sensuous science! Well...maybe not so much? Percival has a deep interest in Lemonade that borders along the line of obsession. In his spare time, he researches different aspects to the creation of lemonade. The chemical composition of lemon juice grown in different parts of the world or under different environmental elements. The difference in water from different parts of the world. The difference in sugars. Every single component that attributes to the creation of a glass of lemonade (And yes, even the type of glass involved) is of great interest to Percival. He seeks to create the perfect formula for Lemonade. Not too sweet, not too sour. Not too strong, not too weak. Everything from the temperature to the the coloring of the drink itself is all studied by Percival. And the drive behind his ultimate goal?
To create a Legacy that he may pass on to his own children. The worlds most perfect lemonade, to be shared at family dinners and parties. Summer picnics and winter dances! The thought of money or profit has no appeal to Percival. He wishes to create something his family can cherish through the ages to come.

Suggested Look: Something with a mild fantasy steam-punkish look to it. With a large single hand held hammer that sort of resembles This
Second Stage Powers:
-In this stage Lockpick has heightened strength only when it comes to hitting things with his hammer.
Opening- This power has different manipulated uses. The first, and more commonly use, is to Open locks. Combination, key, puzzle, and coded. If it is a Lock of any sort, all Lockpick needs to do is touch it to cause it to open. A secondary use of this power is in reference to passcodes. If a computer is 'locked' or some file or program requires the inputting of a passcode or key code then Lockpick merely needs to touch the source for inputting the code and concentrate for a few seconds to uncover what this code could be.
Another aspect of this power is the Opening of objects. Some things, such as doors, knots, manholes, windows, and other objects that be considered 'closeable' can be Opened by Lockpicks touch. Windows and doors slide open as far as is desired by Lockpick. Manhole covers and equally heavy lid like objects rattle and roll partly to the side, knots loosen.
Should Lockpick find himself in lost, he can use his power to locate a Opening. For instance, if he is stuck in a large basement in the dark, he can use his power to sense the nearest Opening in the place that would allow him to leave. If there is no such way possible, such as the door blocked by rubble, Lockpick will get no return feeling. This power does not pick the Safest way out, just the closest. Meaning if he finds the door, but it is blocked by flames (According to the power fire is not a physical block and can be passed through) it will not allow him to reuse it to locate another Opening. It only locates the nearest, and no matter how many times he uses it, it will continue to indicate that THIS is the nearest opening.
Third Stage Powers: Being Pondered?

Percival was meant to be the last child born to the Lures family. With four brothers and a single sister born before him, he is one of eight children Marietta, Percivals mother, is a typical PTA kinda mom. She does a lot more for the school then her own kid though, but encourages his independence and thinks she is a 'hip mom' by 'trusting him' and giving him his privacy. His father, Wyatt, is a coke bottle prescription glasses wearing accountant who works out of his little office over the garage. Together the two parents provide a stable and rather loving home for Percival and his siblings. However, due to their habits of getting drawn into their own projects, and having so many siblings to contend with, Percival has learned the habit of acting out to gain their attention. He does this in ways that require his parents to focus on him for a bit, but not so badly that he would get into serious trouble.
For example, when he was graduating from elementary and to Jr. High, Percival took the new suit his mother had bought him and slashed the jacket and pants. Wearing the tattered garment, he was sent home from the graduation by the teachers in charge. In another instance he pocketed candy from a convenience store, then turned himself in to the manager after walking out the doors. Thus ensuring a call was made to his parents and a stressful afternoon talking to a police officer followed. Percival's school record and juvenile record is peppered with very minor infractions, but in enough number that a psychologist might quirk a brow.
In the hopes of perhaps 'curing' their son of his acting out, and out of fear that he could take that small step over the line into something worse, Percival has been sent away to Tidal for his high school year. He lives in the dorms and only returns home at the end of each year for a few months. The past few years has been hard on Percival. Feeling banished from his home, the urge to act out itches under his skin. Without his parents nearby to be called upon though there is no hope for the gratification that comes after being 'caught'. He feels trapped with no way out of his current situation.
