Height: 6' 1" Weight: 173 lbs Eyes: Burnt Umber Hair: Brown, short and messy, subtly wavy Face: Square-shaped with strong features that blend ruggedness with youthful charm
Physique:
Tall and lean on a slightly smaller medium frame.
Clothes:
He only has sporty, casual clothes readily available in his closet, and he has minimal accessories–just a sling bag, a watch, and belt if needed. If he needs more formal wear, he rents it.
Hobbies:
Sports — He lives and breathes soccer, however he’s shown a knack for sports in general and can learn and come to enjoy any sport introduced to him. His family always engaged in various sports-related activities together–family jogs, family bike rides, family hikes, etc. He equates sports as bonding time because of this, so this is what he defaults to when he wants to spend quality time with someone because he wants to get closer to them. His competitive spirit has been described as “just right” by his parents, family friends, and friends alike. He’s modest about his knack for sports, however he does take great pride in besting his family at soccer.
Stargazing — It's as much a memory as it is a hobby. Though it was hard to do at first, Cliff eventually began stargazing after his sister's passing to keep her alive in his life. He's always enjoyed it though, especially when his sister took him camping and they would stargaze together. While he doesn’t go camping, he does have his own telescope so he can stargaze on clearer nights. He has no real favorite constellation (though he is somewhat partial to his sister's favorite, Cassiopeia), but his favorite star by far is Polaris. He prefers to keep between him and his older sister, though his family knows that he enjoys the pastime.
Reading — Another thing he picked up from his sister is reading. She always had something for him as a reward when he finished a book, and what started out as just getting a prize turned into genuine enjoyment. His tastes are pretty eclectic, and he basically just reads what he finds interesting or fun or both. His interest heavily leaned toward mythologies when he was younger–Greek, Roman, and Norse to be specific–but as he got older he developed an interest in fantasy, mystery thrillers, horror, and even the occasional romance (only on recommendation). He’s not much for nonfiction, but will also read one on recommendation.

Stargazing — It's as much a memory as it is a hobby. Though it was hard to do at first, Cliff eventually began stargazing after his sister's passing to keep her alive in his life. He's always enjoyed it though, especially when his sister took him camping and they would stargaze together. His biggest goal is to get really, really good grades so his parents will buy him a telescope. He has no real favorite constellation (though he is somewhat partial to his sister's favorite, Cassiopeia), but his favorite star by far is Polaris. This hobby is something that he prefers to keep between him and his older sister, though his family knows that he enjoys the pastime.
Reading — Another thing he picked up from his sister is reading. She always had something for him as a reward when he finished a book, and what started out as just getting a prize turned into genuine enjoyment. His tastes are pretty eclectic, and he basically just reads what he finds interesting or fun or both. He especially loves mythologies, specifically Greek, Roman, and Norse. He gets pretty excited about what he reads, so if he really liked something he'll tell someone at school about it. A teacher, a classmate, the bus driver -- by the end of the day, at least ten people will know what book he read and what he found so amazing about it.
Arcade — Cliff loves the arcade. So many things to play, so little time, so few tokens! At least when his babysitter isn't around to hand him an extra five dollars to blow. In any case, because his parents won't let him have video game consoles at home, he finds his fun in the public arena. He'll challenge anyone at any game in the arcade, as long as his feet can reach the pedal or he's tall enough to see the screen! He loves going with his friends, though sometimes goes by himself or just with his babysitter or an older sibling that isn't busy. This is usually where his personal allowance is spent, or "wasted" as his parents would say.
Sports — Cliff's entire family is a pretty active one, so when he was younger (5) he was encouraged to try several different sports to find his niche. He picked soccer and tennis in the end, though is currently a bit more interested in soccer than he is tennis. As a family, they all engage in various sports-related activities. Family jogs, family bike rides, family hikes, etc. The activities are treated as fun, family bonding experiences though, so Cliff really loves it and has fun with it. He's always been a very active child, and he'll egg his friends to keep up with him on the playground.

Alias: Sailor Urda, Super Senshi of Blackthorn Challenge: Got caught in the brambles, huh? Symbol: Senshi Phone:(acquired)
Magic:
Basic — Urda Thorn Shrub! He summons a Blackthorn shrub by placing the palm of his hand on the ground while facing his intended target. The shrub rapidly grows around the intended target, trapping them from the waist and below. While inside the shrub, the target will experience the sensation of being pricked by little thorns for 25 seconds, after which the shrub withers away. It feels similar to the tingles that come when blood circulation is restored to a limb that’s fallen asleep. It’s possible to escape, though not without sustaining actual physical injury from the thorns in the shrub. The injuries would largely be minor, though if one is extra careless it could be a little bit worse than that. Can be used up to 3 times in battle. Super — Urda Thorn Bush! He summons a large, dense Blackthorn shrub by placing the palm of his hand on the ground while facing his intended target(s). The shrub rapidly grows around up to 2 targets, fully trapping them inside. While inside, the target(s) will experience the sensation of being pierced by thorns for 30 seconds, after which the shrub withers away. It feels similar to getting lightly pricked by a lot of little needles at the same time. It’s possible to escape, though the sensation is incredibly unpleasant and would feel more like being cut with small knives. Players can choose to take lasting damage; at this stage, this might feel like papercuts, small punctures, or even moderate slashes. Can be used up to 2 times in a battle.Eternal — Urda Darkness Dome He summons a large, dome-like formation of dense, thorny Blackthorn branches by punching the ground while facing his intended target(s). It has a maximum vertical height of 7ft and a radius of 5 feet, so could effectively envelope up to 3 targets. Movement isn’t restricted, but the dome is pitch black inside. Those trapped inside are targeted by phantom branches, though attacks are only triggered upon movement and can be dodged. Those hit by the branches experience the sensation of being pierced by an arrow, though no physical damage is sustained. The dome itself can be destroyed either from the inside or the outside, though those lower than Urda’s level will have a harder time than those of equal or higher level than him. The dome withers away after about 25 seconds. Can be used up to 2 times in battle.

Alias: Sailor Urda, Super Senshi of Blackthorn Challenge: "You're a thorn in my side!" Symbol: Senshi Phone:(acquired)
Magic:
Senshi — [Urda Thorn Shrub] He summons a single, small Blackthorn shrub by placing the palm of his hand on the ground while facing his intended target; the shrub then rapidly grows and wraps around the legs of the target. Though one could easily push their way through the little shrub, chances are they won't get out of it without a few scratches for souvenirs. Aside from providing minor injuries, it also helps to slow down any oncoming enemies. The shrub withers after about 20 seconds, and can be used up to 2 times per battle. Super — [Urda Thorn Bush] He summons one, thick Blackthorn shrub that is wider and slightly taller (about hip height for an average adult) to surround his intended targets, effectively "trapping" one or two enemies at most. The shrubs are harder to simply push through now, though certainly not impossible if one doesn't mind a few scratches. Although the shrub is a bit larger, the injuries are still relatively minor, but aside from providing a few injuries it still also helps to slow down any oncoming enemies. The shrubs wither after about 30 seconds, and it can safely be used 2 times in a battle. Eternal — [Blackthorn Darkness Dome] He calls his power, this time punching the ground while facing his intended target, and summons a large, dome-like formation of dense, thorny blackthorn branches. It has a maximum vertical height of 7ft and a radius of 2ft, so it could effectively envelope a single person. Movement isn't restricted in any way, but the dome is pitch black inside. It's possible to hack a way in or out, but lower level individuals would have a much harder time than those at equal or higher levels as Urda. The dome withers away after about 45 seconds. It can be used only once in a battle.

Virtues:
Honest — Honesty is still definitely the best policy in his book. He generally does his best to avoid lying, though even he’s come to understand the need for the occasional white lie. He’s not a fan, but if it’s a situation that necessitates it then he does give in. But otherwise, he’s still the same, honest kid he’s always been–the type that returns anything extra that he shouldn’t get, tells the truth when he hasn’t taken care of his responsibilities yet, and owns up to his own mistakes and does his best to correct them, or otherwise takes time to reflect on what went wrong and how he could do better next time.
Disciplined — It started from childhood because he started playing sports at a young age. His parents helped him stick to a routine while he was growing up, so he’s become very regimented as a result. He understands the importance of discipline in sports, and that sense of ownership and responsibility of self-improvement has trickled into every aspect of his life, from school, to part-time jobs, to even the relationships he’s been able to maintain because he understands that these things all require time and intentionality. Essentially it boils down to one truth for him–you don’t just get good at soccer, you have to practice.
Fun-loving — He likes to laugh and have fun with his family and friends, and always wants to make sure that whoever he’s with is having a good time when they’re spending time together. He’s still as energetic as he’s always been, and now channels this energy into nurturing his relationships as best he knows how–which is usually some type of game or outdoor activity. He doesn’t mind, and in fact actually enjoys more often than not, handling the logistics and goes out of his way to make sure that his itineraries are jam-packed with plenty of food, games, and outdoor activities to make the most out of time spent with the people he cares about.
Flaws:
Fiery — He has always been a very passionate person, even as a kid he was prone to picking fights and jumping into debates about the silliest of things. He struggles with keeping his emotions in check, and it doesn’t take much for him to lash out at someone if he isn’t mindful of it. He tends to marinate in his emotions, particularly if it’s something he strongly believes in or is otherwise very particular about, and the longer it takes for him to talk about it and get it off his chest, the worse it is for those around him. He has lost friends because of this, and has had disciplinary action taken against him for his hot-headedness in certain situations.
Rigid — His self-discipline can be considered very extreme in certain situations, and because he’s very focused on his own self-improvement it doesn’t leave much room to help others with theirs. At least, as far as he’s concerned, if they want to improve themselves then they ought to be doing what he’s doing. He doesn’t like it when people mess with his schedule, or mess with a plan, program, or itinerary that he’s put together for some future get-together. Adapting is a challenge for him, and when things don’t go as planned he tends to struggle to the point of nearly giving up before his disciplinarian side kicks in to keep him from doing that.
Unrestrained — He has a hard time setting limits for himself. He always goes all out in everything that he does, and while this does have its benefits he simply takes it to the extreme. He’ll train for too long, study to the point of nearly passing out, over-plan a get-together so there’s never any time for anyone to rest, etc. His defense is that he just wants to make the most of his time, all the time, because one never really knows what the future might bring or when the next opportunity might come next. He doesn’t realize it when he does this; someone has to point it out to him. If it affects others he’ll relent, but when it comes to himself he isn’t likely to.
Pre-revision Profile (age 9)
Virtues:
Honest — Cliff is a very honest kid. If he gets too much change, he'll return the extra even if he only finds out when he gets home. If he's given too much he'll put it back, if he's asked if he's done his chores or his homework he'll tell the truth. He'll admit to his own mistakes, and tries his best to avoid lying if he can. White lies are sometimes resorted to if someone advises him, but for the most part he doesn't like the feeling of lying. He says it gives him a "heavy heart" and his chest "tightens up" if/when he does it. Other kids may classify him as the typical "goody two shoes" type of person, though he chalks it up to good moral character, which...well, it kind of is.
Assertive — This is a kid who knows what he wants and isn't afraid to tell people. Cliff has a knack for being the leader in any group, and he has no trouble with setting goals and getting all of the "leader" jobs done so that said goal can be achieved. He loves a good challenge and isn't afraid to back down, but he's smart enough to know when he should. Not to say that he'll like it, but he wouldn't be stubborn or indignant about it either. He really doesn't enjoy being wrong and isn't afraid to "discuss" his side of the story until the other party is satisfied and agrees with him.
Energetic — His energy level is above the average school kid's, and, luckily for his parents, he's found a relatively good outlet for most of it. Cliff is the sort to do more than just walk everywhere. He could be hopping, skipping, sliding, jogging or juggling on the way to wherever he's going. He likes to keep himself going, and has difficulty sitting still for extended periods of time. He likes physical activity, and feels very sluggish and "bad" when he doesn't get enough in a day. He's that kid that's generally always on the move, and is most often reminded not to run in the school hallways, in the classroom, or anywhere at all, especially while holding scissors.
Independent — Cliff, for the most part, feels completely capable of completing tasks on his own. He likes to think that he can stand on his own two feet (even if he's only 9 years old), and his parents somewhat encourage the behavior. He's fairly self-sufficient for someone his age. He makes his own snacks, cleans up after himself, and generally takes care of what he needs to get done without needing to be told. Cliff is the sort to pick himself up off the ground if he messes up, and he likes it that way. He'll accept help, but only if he's absolutely certain that he needs it.
Flaws:
Honest — Cliff if a very honest kid, though perhaps a bit too honest for his own good. If you ask him if you look fat in a dress and he thinks you do, he'll say so without a second thought. Really, if you ask him his opinion about anything he'll be perfectly up front and straightforward with you. He thinks he's being good and moral, but doesn't often (if at all) stop to think if what he says will be hurtful to someone else. He'll tell it like it is, and for the most part has to be told to put a cap in it when he's around older people so as to be respectful. He doesn't have any cruel intentions, it's just that he thinks it's good to be honest about everything. For this reason, he can kind of come off as rude or insensitive.
Argumentative — His being assertive will often times teeter and fall into what can be considered an argument. What can start out as simply proving his point can turn into an argument quickly if he isn't proven absolutely wrong right off the bat. He'll keep insisting that he's right and you're wrong, and can sometimes come off as this pushy, intolerant little spoiled brat. He's been known to argue with his teachers, especially when it comes to answering questions in class. He isn't one to just pick an argument, though, or at least he doesn't see it that way. The one picking an argument with him, as far as he's concerned, is the person that told him he was wrong.
Impatient — Cliff can't stand it when someone is slow to understand him. He hates that, and is easily frustrated if he has to explain something more than twice to someone else, especially adults. With kids he kind of understands, but even then he can become irritable if he keeps on having to explain himself again and again. This is especially demonstrated when he starts a "discussion" with someone and they fail to understand his logic. He'll repeat himself only so many time before eventually erupting and going on some kind of a tantrum. This usually just involves him ranting about how someone isn't able to understand something so simple, and then leaving.
Naive — Although he claims to be able to do things on his own, Cliff is in fact relatively naive. He lacks a lot of the know-how when it comes to being street smart, and, while he wouldn't stupidly follow a stranger into a windowless van, for the most part he'll look like a lost little kid if he's in the city by himself. If it's something he isn't familiar with, he'll give everyone the benefit of the doubt. He doesn't believe that anyone would give him bad advice or that they would purposely give him bad directions. He doesn't inherently have the ability to detect "bad vibes," nor does he have the instinct to avoid a "bad crowd."
