Name: Blaise DeMarcus
Nickname: None.
Age: 19
Birthday: February 13
Sign: Aquarius
Gemstone: Amethyst
Blood Type: Type O
Fav. Food: Anything free, and after that, anything cheap. Strawberries.
Hated Food: Spinach quiche.
School: Destiny City University
Hobbies:
Internet Addict – Spending time on the internet is no odd thing in this age, but Blaise is pretty good at pushing that to the extreme, and even better when it comes to adding content for other people to dive into. He’s a wordy, brassy busybody with little fears about whose jimmies are rustled.
Dragon Figurines – Reason one through infinity why he never has anyone come over. His secret obsession, his dearest thing: the dragon collection. He started it when he was a kid and it has since grown wildly out of control, taking up endless shelf space and desk space and just about anywhere with a flat surface space. No one but his closest can ever know.
Crafting – All the numbers after infinity why no one can ever come over. His main income source is from crafting, either sculpting or resin-casting figurines, charms, or pendants, typically dragon-themed, and then selling them online. He has put an absurd amount of effort from separating his crafty accounts with everything else he does online for irrational fear of anyone finding out.
Virtues:
The Coolest Cat – Feelings aside, Blaise puts far too much effort in coming off as nonchalant and cool than can be considered healthy, but the boons are there. He works out to keep up appearances, preferably at times when few other people are at the gym, and owns enough hair products to single-handedly destroy the ozone layer above Destiny City. Everyone loves a coolkid, except when they don’t, but Blaise is too busy working at looking like he’s not working to care.
Set in Stone – There are precious few things left in this world that can drag shock or other related expressions from Blaise DeMarcus’s face. He’s spent way too much time on the internet with a ravenously curious mind, and there for has Seen A Lot Of s**t. This coupled with his extensive physical training and the result is an even, placid, stone expression that cannot be shocked off of him, and a calm demeanor in hectic, even dangerous, moments.
Self-Reliant – Blaise knows how to look out for number one, as he has most of his life. He’s not an orphan, but his family isn’t exactly the Joneses. He’s always made his own money, usually honestly, but he’d game any system he could find. He’s actually done fairly well for himself in the online realms, enough to help him through Uni on top of financial aid and grants.
Flaws:
Irritatingly Loquacious – Blaise speaks a lot with very few filters or good sense not to go on by every inane thought to entirely skip his mind and go straight from abstract half-formed thought right to being spewed out at Taco Bell-diarrhea levels. Not a case of him being in love with his own voice, as he doesn’t particularly care if anyone can hear him, but the fact remains that he can easily irritate the s**t out of anyone attempting to engage him in any manner of contact.
Tryhard Apathetic – Having feelings is for losers and therefore Blaise has none. Excitement is for nerds and Blaise is the coolest cat both sides of the Mississippi. This is a complete fabrication of his own design, for the sole purpose of making him appear cool. He fakes disinterest about things he has passion for, and very rarely can overcome that knee-jerk reaction. This would tend him brushing off people he would have liked to maybe befriend, or appearing like the complete tool he tries to be to the people that know better. If he does something kind, it is always in the most roundabout, or preferably anonymous, fashion he can manage; if it’s a passion of his, he keeps it close and tells as few people as he can.
Like Tears in Rain – Partially the fallout from his apathetic flaw, Blaise has picked up the feeling that very little of things done actually matter. He can have his own pursuits and enjoy his hobbies (in secret), but he doesn’t think he’ll make anything of himself. Most endeavors are ultimately pointless. These feelings can and will bleed out onto the people closest to him, from him having difficult in showing enthusiasm for someone’s accomplishment, to subtly (or occasionally not so subtly) trying to prepare them that it’s going to fall apart and nothing big will come from their work. Success is for the few, why bother.
Eyes: Gray, almond shape.
Hair: Undercut mohawk, where the mohawk is sort of longish, wild, and untamed looking. Gray hair with turquoise tips.
Face: Blaise has a diamond-shape face, thickish lips, and golden-beige skin.
Clothes: Nothing too fancy- perhaps black, frayed skinny jeans, blue chucks, and a gray, fitted hoodie.

Negaverse Alias: Lieutenant Dravite
Challenge: You aren’t worth the effort.
Uniform:
Top – Dark gray/Turquoise. Short sleeved tunic, but with the sleeves pushed up to right under the shoulder pieces, perhaps with features to make it look scaled. I’d like him to have a bit of a dragon theme.
Bottoms – Pants. I’m not very good at this.
Gloves – I should hope so, they’re going to be his base weapon! Fingerless gloves would do wonderfully.
Belt – Yes belt. I’m not sure what kind of belt, but thumbs up to it.
Shoes – Long combat boots, stretching nearly up to the knee.
Shoulders – Yes, something spiky and dragony.
Accessories – Perhaps some sort of circlet headgear so he can have horns. Not like the standard headband deal, that would mess with the ‘hawk. Or heck, maybe they just come out of the sides of his head and how they are there is ~mystery~.
Weapon – Regular fingerless gloves / metal-reinforced gloves / full dragony gauntlets with blades coming from the knuckle like claws.
(I am not picky on outfit appearance in the least, so CC's choice with a general sort of dragon or dark-knightish theme.)

Hey, Luafien! I'm here to get Blaise all stamped up~
ON THE CIVILIAN SIDE:
Right now, the hobbies you have for him are pretty asocial, and generally we like to see more social hobbies as jumping-off points for RP -- so I'd love to see if there are times he lets people see his dragons, or would he meet people in a crafting class, or something?
For his virtues, right now "The Coolest Cat" is reading mostly flaw to me, since you talk a lot more about how it doesn't fool everyone or how he puts way too much effort in vs. how it benefits him or why people like him for it. Is he generally successful in putting off a nonchalant, cool aura that people around him tend to admire?
For "Self-Reliant," once again, why do people admire him for this? Is he good at keeping up with projects, or helping other people? I see how it benefits others, but in general virtues should be external things that other characters admire yours for!
Right now, on the Flaws end, "Tryhard Apathetic" and "Like Tears n the Rain" are kinda running together - the latter really jsut seems like the external effects of the former, and like virtues, flaws sohuld be externally visible and, in this case, something people would dislike your character for -- so some more differentiation here would be great!
ON THE POWERED SIDE:
I think Dravite looks great, actually!
So just some fixes on the civ side, and he'll be ready to go!
