 Name: Corey Boone Nickname: None yet Age: 30 Birthday: June 12th Sign: Gemini Gemstone: Pearl Blood Type: AB Fav. Food: Ramen noodles and grocery store free samples Hated Food: Fancy preppings and over complicated dishes, he has simple tastes School: Graduated from Meadowview YEARS ago Job: Owns Electric Dreams arcade
Hobbies:
Running his arcade - A job can be a hobby if you absolutely adore it and Corey most definately loves his. The sounds, the smells, the people, the atmosphere, and just about everything about his job make him very happy so he is there A LOT. People would call him a workaholic.. well.. if it looked like he was ever actually working while at work....
Laser tag - Blaring techno, blinding strobes, fog, and blinking enemy to the right!!! Nothing gets Corey's blood pumping more than a good game of laser tag. When he was in highschool he used to enter tournaments for fun and money but now he just loves it for love of the game. He's a darn good shot and if you're playing in his particular maze he's near unbeatable.
Chit chatting - Being so gregarious Corey just LOVES to talk. To pretty much anyone, pretty much anywhere. He'll strike up conversations in lines with strangers or chat a friend's ear off and he often has to be shushed in movies. He's a decent listener but he really seems to love his own voice.
Guitar - Back in highschool Corey learned to play the guitar in an attempt to pick up girls. It didn't work that well, but nonetheless he still has the skills. Nowadays he plays for fun and sometimes special events (like playing video game music on special days at the arcade).
Virtues:
Friendly - Corey is prodominately a smiley, jovial, and happy go lucky individual. He'll always offer a greeting and conversation to anyone that comes into his place or even to random people on the street. His contentment with life seems to mold his personality making him gregarious and pleasant, able to take even some of the surliest personalities with a grain of salt. His Facebook friends are well into the triple digits.
Young at heart - Like a child Corey is optimistic, friendly, hopeful, and full of energy. He lives life full of enthusiasm and gets along well with children and young adults. His view on life is fairly innocent and occasionally naive.
Handy - Corey has a knack for figuring out how things work, at least on a rudimentary level. He's a good problem solver and is very good with his hands. Out of curiousity and necessity he's learned to tinker with minor repairs around the arcade and home and he has some carpentry skills. He's certainly no genius in any of it, but he's handy in a lot of different situations.
Flaws:
Penny pincher - After almost seven years of working his a** off to save up enough to open his own arcade (with kickass indoor laser tag facility and mini golf course) Corey has become exceptionally tight with money. He's got bills to pay after all, rent and electricity bills for an arcade aren't cheap! Unfortunately he has a tendency to take it to an extreme. He tries his best to never pick up tabs, checks for change on the ground and in machines constantly, eats junky food and overwears clothing just to save a few bucks. If allowed he'll happily mooch a friend to death, but if he's spending his own money he's all about thrift. Don't even bother asking for refunds or donations.
Enabler - Corey worked long and hard to achieve what he wanted in life and believes everyone else should have the same contentment and joy of having their dream, not matter what that dream seems to be. Because he experienced the pain of people challenging his dream he detests the thought of ever being a buzzkill to anyone else. Want to ditch school so you can focus on becoming a hardcore gaming wizard? He'll turn a blind eye to the fact you're in his arcade during school hours and cheer you on! This leads to terrible advice giving and often makes him a horrible adult role model for impressionable and/or reckless youths. Responsible for others he is not.
What is personal space? - You mean you don't want him all up in your business...? ... Does not compute! The concept of a space bubble, both physically and emotionally escapes Corey. Nothing is too personal for him to talk about or ask about in his opinion, and he seems geniunely confused when people get uptight about him touching them, or peering over their shoulder from mere inches. Solitary people can get uncomfortable very easily in his presence, and even friends can sometimes feel invaded upon by his presence.

 Bimini Squire of CosmosCosmos theme: Eternity, rebirth, stars
Challenge:
"Partake in the waters of life"
Uniform: 1920's mucha inspired.
Basis - Sparkles and prisms
Weapon
Page: A fair sized metallic bowl filled with water. He can spill water in an attempt to trip people or throw water in their faces to try and surprise them, but mostly it's just for clumsily hitting people with. Once the water has been spilled out completely it's gone unless a water source is handy (which shouldn't be very often).
Squire: Prettier bowl of water! A fair sized metallic bowl (with a litle more decor) filled with water. To channel his magic Corey must use his hand to splash some of the water out at the target. The target will receive a minor burst of energy or if they are injured a slight dulling of pain ((similar in strength to vicodin)). For the most part this can be used up to three times, depending on how much water has been spilled via other movement. The bowl can also be thrown or used as a shield in a last ditch effort.
Knight: Large water carrying jug. A large metallic water carrying jug held in one arm. To channel his magic Corey must pour some of the water out onto the target with the amount of water corresponding to the amount of 'rejuvenation' the target receives. The strongest effect (by using most of the vase's water) allows Corey to rejuvenate one target to how they felt before the battle began once per battle. Energy is entirely restored and the pain from injuries erased ((similar in strength to oxycontin)), but not actually the injury/wound itself. Because the wound is still there the target can wind up in some trouble if they overexert themselves without realizing it. Also once the water is gone, he can no longer use this magic anymore.

Bimini - the fountain of youth
The Fountain of Youth is a legendary spring that reputedly restores the youth and vigor of anyone who drinks of its waters. Tales of such a fountain have been recounted across the world for thousands of years, appearing in writings by Herodotus, the Alexander romance, and the stories of Prester John. Stories of a similar waters were also evidently prominent among the indigenous peoples of the Caribbean during the Age of Exploration, who spoke of the restorative powers of the water in the mythical land of Bimini. The native stories about the curative spring were related to the mythical land of Bimini, a land of wealth and prosperity.
Cosmos and the fountain of youth
Rebirth, eternity, stars
I thought that the revigorating and rejuvenating properties of the fountain of youth blended in well with the themes of rebirth and eternity that are connected to the Cosmos. Stories of the fountain have come from many different countries and cultures and has been quested for again and again with little luck which I think mirrors well the grandness and intagibility that the Cosmos holds over any set stationary place. The flowing waters even mirror the color themes of prisms and sparkles.
