Hobbies:
Sports - He loves sports and most anything involving sports. Unfortunately, his poor sportsmanship has kept him off of any teams at school, but he still gets to plays in informal settings. He'll actually even help out during practices if he's asked. His favorite sports are basketball, football, and boxing, but he'll give just about any sport a try at least once. He keeps himself up to date with his favorite teams and athletes, and enjoys watching games and matches, as well as playing sports-related video games in his down time.
Working Out - He actually keeps to a work out schedule, and if he isn't able to hit the gym he's usually out playing a game or on a jog or jumping rope or doing some kind of cardio to keep himself in shape. If someone invites him to the gym or a game of just about anything he'll jump at the chance, except for maybe board games and anything that wouldn't give him a good work-out. He actually enjoys reading those kinds of magazines, keeping up with the latest training methods and equipment, and even dieting tips (that he only loosely follows) and things like that.
Comic Books - He does have an inner geek, small and miniscule as it may be. He's always been fascinated by the idea of superheroes and being able to overcome the odds and beat the bad guys, so when he's got the cash on hand he'll go out and buy a comic book or two to add to the slowly growing collection he started sometime during middle school. Not all of these have been gotten legitimately mind you, but hey. It's his now, and the unfortunate victims are usually none the wiser since no one else really knows this about him and probably wouldn't look to him as a first suspect.
Coins - Usually the old kind, but just about any interesting coin will do. His dad gave him his great-grandfather's small coin collection (that really isn't worth all that much besides its sentimental value) and he's been adding onto it for most of his life. Sometimes buying, sometimes really just finding it, and sometimes taking it from someone or somewhere without anybody's permission. As a lucky charm of sorts he likes to keep one coin from this collection with him at all times. When he's just standing around he's usually fiddling with whatever coin he's got to keep his hands busy.
Virtues:
Orderly - He's a neat and tidy sort of guy, whatever anyone else may say about his appearance. Everything has a place and, while he's not necessarily obsessive-compulsive, he works hard to make sure things stay in their designated spots. He even has a space for all of the stuff he happens to "find" around the school and around town. He'll take the time to make sure his room is spick and span, usually two or three times a week. This actually also applies when he's asked to clean up somewhere else, be it at his house or at school or even someone else's room. If and when that happens (for whatever reason), he'll take it to the next level. Not only would it be near-spotless, but everything would probably be organized by function, size, shape, and brand -- even the cleaning utensils.
Confident - Some may say too confident, but he doesn't see it that way. He's very confident specifically in the arena of athletics, but it has extended a bit into other aspects of his life as well. He's just always had an affinity for sports, and having grown up with little else to focus on (besides school, which he found insufferably tedious and boring until a certain point) he's gotten pretty good at quite a number of them. That confidence has spilled over into other areas too, so now he actually puts more effort into things he once considered tedious because he just feels better about his abilities. Simply put, he knows what he's capable of and he isn't afraid to show it.
Go-Getter - When he sees something he wants, he's going to go for it regardless of what anyone tells him. In fact, he finds more motivation to prove others wrong when they say he can't do something. Pretty much he thinks nothing's too impossible for him, and his attitude about his goals are always on the optimistic side. In his mind he believes he'll get there if he puts in the time, effort and resources needed to get there. Should anything get in his way, all the more he'll want to overcome said obstacle and make it to his goal. This does not, however, apply to girls and relationships of any kind. Usually it has to do with getting better grades or pushing himself during a work-out, things like that.
Flaws:
Territorial - Are you in his room? You follow his rules to the letter. Are you scrounging through his locker for that doodad you lent him forever ago? Yeah, stop that. You'll mess up the orderliness of all of his crap. Are you in his lounging spot? Well move, buddy, 'cause you're about to piss this guy off. He's one heck of a "mine, don't touch" kind of guy. He doesn't do well with others borrowing his stuff. If you miraculously get him to agree though, should you return it to him in any less of the awesome condition that it was in when you borrowed it, expect to be asked for a few favors as retribution for your actions. Sharing isn't quite out of the question, just don't expect it to involve any of his own personal belongings.
Poor Sport - When it comes to "friendly" competition he's a sore loser and a sore winner. If he loses, he'll blow up. He'll blow up in the locker room, in his room, at the unfortunate sports equipment at the gym. It's usually best to just let him cool his head on his own. The frustration is usually taken out in the form of pounding on a given object (never someone else though). If he wins though, it isn't that much better. He'll lord it over whoever he's beaten and shove it in their face(s) constantly if given the chance. Mocking of fumbles, missed passes, air balls and so on will ensue for a good while. In either case it usually doesn't carry over to the following day.
Sticky Fingers - He's a bit of a kleptomaniac, and it's basically what landed him at Hillworth. Don't be surprised if your precious pen or beloved bracelet suddenly goes missing for a few days after he's been in your room or anywhere near your stuff (or your family's, for that matter). With any luck it'll eventually find its way back and you'll find it neatly tucked behind or nearby some place only you'd ever care to look. That is, unless he's caught and is forced to return it sooner than his conscience can get to him, if it ever does at all. He does his best to reign in the urge to grab that shiny trinket of yours, but there's no guaranteeing it won't discreetly make its way into his pocket before he makes his way out of your room.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: Cerulean blue, and he has those "squinty" looking eyes.
Kinda like this color.
Hair: Short, black, kind of messy. He'd also have a small goatee patch kept short and neat.
Kinda like this.
Face: Oval-ish, but he's relatively square-jawed, with his chin coming to a rounded sort of point. He has a clear complexion, though he's slightly tanned because of all the time he spends outdoors playing some sport or another. His ears are on the smaller side, but could still be considered average.
Clothes: The Hillworth uniform, but on his own terms... if that makes sense and is allowed.
Like with the sleeves folded up to his elbows, his tie missing, and his shirt not buttoned all the way up and untucked so the bottom goes past the vest a little. The pants would also be tailored to loosely fit like straight jeans rather than slacks. He'd also have a black watch on his left wrist.

Knight Title: Ashur Page of Uranus (click;click)
Challenge: working on it...
Uniform: His Page uniform should be akin to the Jedi outfit or the Sandbenders from Avatar, but basically it's just a much simpler version of this outfit.
The colors would of course follow the swatch. It'd primarily be the whites/browns, with the blues being accent colors.
Top -- Long-sleeve tunic and a vest over that. The sleeves should be tucked underneath his bracers, and tunic and the vest should go to about his mid-thigh.
Bottoms -- Loose pants, the ends of which are tucked into his boots. He'll probably look kind of like a desert ninja of some sort.
Gloves -- Simple, brown, leather bracers that go about halfway up his forearm. The uranus symbol could be pressed into it. They're the buckling sort, so something like these.
Belt -- He'd have a sash that goes around his waist. Maybe a belt of some sort hanging loosely around his waist.
Shoes -- Boots that go about halfway to his knee. Simple, brown, leather.
Shoulders -- No bells or whistles here.
Accessories -- Just piercings, one on each earlobe and one in the upper portion of his left ear.
Kinda like these (without the dragons) and this, but for the latter maybe more dudelike... lol.
Weapon
Lanyard - About 6" in length; aside from being a nifty little decoration it's basically useless.
Kinda like this, but instead of skulls it'd be the Uranus sign.
Magic: None.
Belt - About 3'6" total length. Like those childhood spankings, it stings if you get hit. It's magical ability is still rather weak.
Kinda like this.
Magic: When he's concentrating it can generate a relatively weak gust of wind upon use, however it isn't nearly enough to knock anyone back, let alone off their feet. At best it would blow dust from the ground into their eyes and just piss them off. Good for distracting/slowing down oncoming opponents; it can be used in bursts for up to a total of 30 seconds.
Whip - The thong is about 5' in length, with the handle being about 8" long. It's a fairly ranged offensive weapon, and it really stings if you get hit. It can be used like any other whip, 'cept with a nifty magical aspect.
Kinda like this.
Magic: When he's concentrating it can generate a strong gust of wind, enough to knock someone off their feet, or at the very least significantly slow them down. Despite it being offensive in nature, it would normally be used in a defensive manner. That is, should an ally need time to cast a spell of any kind, he would fend off the attackers to buy said ally that time. It can be used in bursts for up to a total of 60 seconds.
