AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM
Name: Bongani
Nicknames: Bon
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Faction: Reaper
Race: Witch Doctor
Natural Ability:
•Hoodoo Howl: This is a very scary, chant-like scream made by a witch doctor in action. Not only can this possibly freak the crap out of anyone within hearing distance, the sound can sometimes summon any overly curious ghosts who may be roaming the area. There's nothing like a random noise to rouse the floating dead. Sore throats usually occur directly after the Hoodoo Howl, so cough drops are generally handy.
Personality: If Bongani looks like he wants to kill you, then he probably does. The witch doctor is stoic, unsmiling, and a hardass mofo with little humor in his black heart. He holds grudges like there's no tomorrow, so watch out if you insult him because he will be coming after you and it won't be "if," but "when." Bongani can be tough to be around, his serious attitude often impeding on what is considered fun by many. He has a hard time expressing his feelings towards anything, so opts to retain his stoic mask of indifference as much as possible, if only to save himself from being an utter fool in front of everyone.
Despite his seemingly calm outside, Bongani is very moody. While he tries hard not to wear his emotions on his sleeve, he usually ends up doing just that, reacting to situations with a passionate, spur of the moment response. Bongani's biggest tell on the state of his emotions is the slightly squint of his eyes and the quirk in his eyebrows. If you see those eyerows so much as twitch, it's a good indicator that Bongani's insides are anything but calm His actions are guided by these strong emotions churning up inside of him and he can and will be blunt with a person, lashing out with no care for hurt feelings.
With his inability to share his feelings well with others, Bongani has all but isolated himself, finding that he doesn't relate well with others. He may try to interact with his peers from time to time, but generally gives up when things don't work out they way he hoped they would. Bongani may put his all into his studies, he lacks the outgoing ability to keep coming back to a person to make friends, even when it becomes hard.
With his desperate need for companionship, when Bongani makes a true friend, he'll hold onto the relationship with both hands. It's something like this that will reveal some of Bongani's better qualities like his generous and loyal nature. Once you're Bongani's friend and he has deemed you worth the trouble, he'll have your back. You need someone to go and kick a** for you? then Bongani is your witch doctor. He's very protective of the people who are important to him.
Bongani also has a strange anger towards bullies and will generally go and try to protect the person being bullied out a sheer distaste for it. It's because of this that Bongani doesn't bully others, surprisingly. If you leave him alone, he'll leave you alone...at least until someone pays him to curse you, then you're on your own. They way Bongani is now, friendless and bitter, he values money over the well being of another any day.
Personality Nutshell: Pessimistic, introverted, intelligent, loyal, shy, resentful, unforgiving, mysterious, giving, tough, stoic, spoilsport, lacks humor, lonely, moody, dramatic, wishful, organized, needy, wicked, patient, unhappy, unfriendly, grumpy, protective, hard working, blunt, and resourceful
Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy: Bongani chose to attend the academy out of pure necessity. As he was born of accumulated fear, he had no one to turn to after he materialized. With no one to show him the ropes of Halloween Town, Bongani realized he would have to teach himself as no one was about to help him. And what better way to do so than at the Amityville Academy?
FEAR Ability:
•Bone Jangle: This attack is an illusion and will dole out attack points based on how afraid Bongani's opponent is. The paint on Bongani's body can jump off his skin in the form of an illusionary skeleton and it will rush at an opponent. While the skeleton is insubstantial, its attack is made real if the opponent believes he/she can be hurt by it.
The downside of this attack is that if Bongani's opponent knows the secret, the attack is useless. If the opponent is completely unafraid of being hurt, the only thing the skeleton can do is look alarmingly harmless. Needless to say, Bongani keeps the secret of his attack close.
Physical Description:
Eye Colour: Dark golden, nearly brown
Hair Colour/Style: Black hair cropped short to his head
Skin Colour: Deep java color
Clothing Style/Colours: Traditional garb of African witch doctors. Bongani's main colors are red, orange, black, and a bit of purple. He has a heavy bag around his waist filled with his magic hoodoo ingredients.
Extra: Bongani has full body bone paint that aligns exactly with his natural bone armature. The white paint tends to glow eerily depending on the phases on the moon.
