Name: Ciaran de Luca
Nickname: Kee
Age: 15
Birthday: January 22nd
Sign: Aquarius
Gemstone: Turquoise
Blood Type: O
Fav. Food: Coffee and other related foods, especially coffee cake
Hated Food: Avocado
School: Azure Valley Academy
Hobbies: Geology Most people may find rocks and dirt to be boring, but Ciaran doesn’t. After learning about it in class he began to collect geology books, and he now has books upon books about geology lining the bookshelves in his room. Ciaran is familiar with the various geological processes—weathering, erosion, volcanoes, tectonic plates—everything about the solid Earth he has most likely brushed up on more than once. He even collects rocks—especially geodes and crystals—and showcases them on a shelf dedicated to his collection. Some of them are bought while others are those he found while exploring or traveling.
Digging It’s unsurprising that a boy who loves rocks and dirt also loves to dig. Much to his mother’s chagrin, Ciaran’s disheveled the backyard—and to her dismay, the front yard—on more than one occasion. It doesn’t matter if he actually finds something interesting or not, he simply wants to dig and discover what is in the ground. He digs just about anywhere if he can (particularly the beach), and has occasionally found some interesting items such as antique jewelry or coins.
Exploring Preferably Ciaran would like to explore areas such as caves or canyons, but doing that on a regular basis is too costly. Instead, he makes do with exploring Destiny City or whatever section of the city he’s in. It does not matter if the area is known for being dangerous. Instead it fuels Ciaran's curiosity and he simply must visit the place at least once. Although it’s not as interesting (in his opinion) he still finds it interesting that he can still discover a store or restaurant that he had never seen before.
Virtues: I see what you did there Ciaran is always taking note of minute details. A particular twitch. The intricate design of someone’s dress. A quick glance to the side. He’s likely to notice, although he stores them in his mind he doesn't usually use them. Ciaran is always observing the people and buildings around him and at the particular nuances, though he’s not as likely to notice the big picture. He is able to use his observations to form fairly accurate descriptions of others as well as noticing when someone happens to be particularly down that day. It is also particularly useful when he does something requiring a keen eye, such as proofreading or searching for a small object. Since his eyes are always moving, Ciaran is also alert and fairly fast when reacting.
Time to get down and dirty If it’s something Ciaran wants or has to do, he’ll do whatever it takes to do it. He’ll pull all-nighter to finish a project or swallow his pride to beg for someone’s help. Ciaran hates to leave things unfinished and will complete everything with a furious gusto. Even if he happens to not finish by the deadline he will continue to work on it because it doesn’t feel right to just abandon something because he doesn’t want it anymore or it’s no longer necessary.
Loyalty at its best He takes his camaraderie seriously. Ciaran believes that friends should completely trust each other, so he never hesitates to tell his friends what he thinks—about them and others. This leads to somewhat rocky relationship for both Ciaran and his friends, but in the end Ciaran will always help in their times of need. It doesn’t matter the situation. He could end up getting beaten up or have a pile of paperwork to do; Ciaran will be there to assist.
Flaws: At the drop of a dime If Ciaran has a sudden urge to sneak out of the house during the night and wander around town he will not hesitate to slip out of the window. When he feels like doing something it is rare that he will pause and think about his actions. His impulsive decisions can get troublesome, since he is also determined to stick with his choices or goals once he has made them, so if Ciaran suddenly wants to save up money for a car and a few weeks later he realizes he actually doesn't want a car, he will still save the money for it. Ciaran may agree to attend a party for a friend and immediately after realize that he has homework to do, but will decide that he can somehow manage to do both.
So Machiavellian Ciaran is willing to do whatever it takes—even if it means hurting someone he knows or breaking the rules. He is a firm believer of the saying “The ends justify the means” and has no regrets about bribing or manipulating to get something that he wants—though it often doesn’t go that far. However, it’s not surprising if Ciaran ends up spiting someone or secretly bends the rules so that he may win or complete his goal.
Multi-tasking plox Ciaran’s attention is usually not focused on one thing, but multiple things. Although it is said that working on multiple tasks at the same time leads to poor quality he simply cannot bring himself to solely pay attention to one assignment or task. It is rare that he somehow manages to diligently work on a particular task, since he often glances around the classroom or manages to listen to some music while he works. Unfortunately, this usually leads to lesser quality in his work, although the drop doesn’t seem to be incredibly hindering—though it makes a difference between a ‘B’ and an ‘A.’ Outside of school his multitasking is not as obvious since he does not like to take on too many tasks that will interfere his hobbies, though he can still be seen at various events or places due to a promise or favor. His multitasking also contributes his quiet nature and solemn face-- he's too tired to talk or be energetic.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: Silver; narrow
Hair: Black w/ a couple white streaks, bangs that cover forehead; short with various small strands sticking out
Face: Heart-shaped, pale, lip ring, always scowling
Clothes: Tends to wear jeans and loose hoodies; skeleton-themed designs

Senshi: Sailor Daedalus, Senshi of Keys
Challenge: “Time to throw away the key!”
Fuku Colour: Main Color: Silver Secondary Color: Black
Fuku: Collar -- up to artist Bow -- up to artist Bodice -- up to artist Sleeves -- up to artist Brooch -- up to artist Bottoms – up to artist Tiara -- up to artist Choker -- up to artist Shoes – perhaps boots with lots of straps, like so? Gloves -- up to artist Accessories – a thin chain of keys around his waist
Perhaps a skeleton [key] motif? Maybe lots of straps/keys/locks? Maybe those cool skeleton mouth markings? ;w; /bias/
Attacks: Sailor Scout Attack: Key of Opportunity Circinus summons a small key of energy and brings the key towards a person or object before twisting the key (clockwise) to unlock their potential. For example, a senshi might be able to perform more attacks or a civilian might have better physical abilities, or a car can now drive faster or a ball becomes bouncier. The buffer effects last for up to 30 seconds. He may only do this for one person or object.
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Key to Success Circinus is now able to buffer up to three people or objects and the effects now last up to 45 seconds.
Eternal Sailor Attack: Under Lock and Key Although keys are generally thought to unlock things, they can also lock things. Circinus creates a large key of energy in front of his target and twists the key counter-clockwise. The enemy is then restricted from using an ability of Circinus’ choosing, which is generally the restriction of not using their weapon or the deprivation of a certain sense. This lasts for 20 seconds.

syu <3333
person:
is there a reason why he likes digging/geology/etc? rather, how was he introduced to this love? did he pick up a cool book at the library, recommnded to him by his long lost uncle, maybe some aliens came down and gave him a geology book?
on that note, what exactly about exploring does he like? and where exactly does he explore? theres only so much you can explore in a one block radius before it gets boring and you hafta move on xD are there parts of the town he wont explore? maybe a scary section of town to him. perhaps he doesnt go downtown because DC's downtown is sketchy (or something along those lines) i suppose just more elaboration is always nice c:
as for his detail quirk, does he ever get distracted by all of these details he's noticing? does he do anything with all of these details, or is he just noticing them?
also, this is just a nitpicky thing, but how is it he's strong enough to ask others for help (time to get down and dirty) but wants to do everything be himself (ill do it myself). i know that's not a make or break kind of trait, but it's just sort of bothering me xDD;;;
also, if he's multitasking so much, how does he find time to do anything? if he's taking on his friend's work, his own work, doing everything himself, how is he supposed to have free time? unless that's what you're going for, because that would be kind of awesome B| <3
that being said, i love the way his traits connect, i think they flow well and develop an awesome dude.
senshi:
for ideas of new sailor names, maybe look up cetus (the sea monster constellation) or circinus (compasses) ? if you're really bothered by elpis, just aim me and we'll go on a huntin' spree >:3
as for his eternal attack- maybe call it ... "Key of Destruction"? or maybe ... "Key of Sealing"? just some ideas to throw around xD

Geh. Finally got some time to work on Ciaran's quest.
Personality: Ciaran first learned about earth science in elementary and from then he got curious about it. He's been loving it ever since.
He likes to explore anything. It doesn't matter if a town is dangerous, that just makes things more exciting. In fact, he doesn't like to explore just places, but activities or events as well.
Actually, he doesn't. It's something that he learned to do over the years, but doesn't really use the small details he sees. However, it's allowed Ciaran to have a keen eye for noticing differences and minor mistakes.
Yeah, that didn't really make sense and I actually meant that he's somewhat whimsical/impulsive. xD I rewrote that change and it's not "At the drop of a dime."
He doesn't really have that much free time to do what he likes, yes. Ciaran doesn't particularly mind, but it does get him pretty tired.
Senshi: I liked the idea behind the name "Circinus" so I'm using that name now. xD Thank you!
Hmm. I'm still not too sure on his eternal attack's name, but the name isn't as important so I'll keep thinking about it. :>
Thanks for taking the time to crit, Chi! ^^
