Name: Gabriel Westinghouse Nickname: Gabe / West Age: 21 Birthday: October 30th Sign: Scorpio Gemstone: Opal Blood Type: O Fav. Food: Mild Mango Curry Hated Food: Kimchi School: Destiny City University (Second Year, majoring in Ancient History with a focus on Sociology) Hobbies:Reading - He spends his nights engrossed in a history book, researching various social activities and practices of ancient peoples. Most of the books are acquired from the local library, though he does have an extensive collection of his own. Being more of a "People Watcher" he takes great pleasure in knowing how people of other times, and places interacted in comparison to the social activities of the modern world. People-watching - This is more of a passive hobby, one that he does without putting in too much effort. Be it at work, school, or just out in public during the day, he will watch people. He make mental notes (and often physical notes) about people that he finds to be the most interesting. Typical things that will catch his attention are a particular laugh, a unique manner of dress, interesting tattoos, or facial piercings. His notes can be found in a small pocket notebook that he keeps on person at all times. Past Life Regression - This hobby is a combination of the above two, and normally focuses more on himself and those that he allows to get close to him. This is where the past meets the present, and he wants to know exactly how. Once he has enough current information on a person/friend, he will scry with a pendant (ask yes or no questions pertaining to the possible past life) to try and gather more information about possible past lives that that person might have had and the effect of that past life on the current personality. Some of the questions he would trg to answer are where this person had lived before? Were they the same gender? What were the circumstances of the life they lived? Because of this hobby, and the general mysteriousness of his nature, he is often regarded as evil, or practicing dark magic by those that do not know him well. Virtues: Intelligent - He is book learned, this tends to make him an important person to go to when one is in search of information, especially where history and the occult are concerned. He is able to pick out life lessons from the past and apply them to situations in the present. Loyal - He is always there for a friend. He is the first to a friend's side when they are in need. He is also loyal to his own beliefs and will fight hard for them. This makes him a formidable ally as well as an unyielding adversary. Level-headed - It takes a lot to anger him, and even when he is angered or upset he has the control to keep a calm state. This also follows through in other emotional circumstances and at time can make him come off as cold, but it is more his intellectual nature making him weigh things before reacting in an out for the manner. Flaws:Loner - Though not oppose to friends, he is not on to initiate interaction. He is happy to be left alone to his studies and can put out an aura of being unapproachable. This limits those that would normally be friendly toward him and leaves only those that can see behind the mask. Socially Awkward - Not dealing in the affairs of others, but rather watching them unfold makes for rather odd situations when confronted with strangers. He often fumbles with words and finding acceptable topics for idle chat. Know-it-all - Due to his extensive knowledge (From reading) and his research involving people, Gabriel has the tendency to come off as a bit of a know-it-all, and sometime has been known to start fights with those that cannot see things his way. This mostly tends to show itself when he is confronted face to face by others. He will make his views of things known, sometime overstating that which he understand to be true. He has lost afew potential friends due to this little quirk. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION ( Drawing Reference ) Eyes: Ice blue, with a rim of darker blue on the edges, narrow and slightly tired looking. Normally he wears heavy, black, liner and grey shadow. Hair: Raven black, long (to shoulder blades), and wavy at the ends. The front has side swept bangs that flow into fee rest of the hair and is parted on the right side. Face: Soft, oval, face with defined jaw and cheek bones. Pouting lips, normally painted black Clothes: Simple, black, skinny jeans, with pockets in the back as well as on the sides. A black tank top with a black, long sleeved, mesh, shirt over the top. He wears a simple silver ball chain necklace. He also wears multiple bracelets on his wrists.

Knight Title: Nirvana Page of Pluto Challenge: "As time is eternal, so too shall be my resolve!” Uniform: Drawing Reference Top -- A bolero style top with mandarin collar, buttoned with a clock broach on the right hand side. The top is solid, dark green, fabric whereas the sleeves are flared and made of a sheer silk. The solid part of the top has embroidered flowers and vines along the edges in a deep, crimson red. The sleeves go down to his wrists, the fabric is the same crimson red and the edges are trimmed with golden thread. Bottoms -- Arabian style, lower cut to show off hip bones and stomach. Pants should be puffy, but not overly so. Color matches the top, deep green, cuffs of the pants can be gold. Matching floral embroidery can creep up one leg Gloves -- elbow length, satin, opera gloves Belt -- A golden belt of locks and keys that falls at an angle off one hip. A few of the keys are topped with the planetary symbol for Pluto. Shoes -- Simple, flats. Slip on style, like ballet flats. Crimson red Embroidered near the toes in golden thread is the symbol for Pluto. Shoulders -- NA Accessories -- An antique clock attached to a golden chain that he wears around his neck. Also a golden bracelet with a key on it on one wrist. The key fits in the back of the clock pendant and is used to wined it. Weapon -- Page: An antique clock. It is made of gold and embellished with a closing cover that is covered in floral designs as well as the planetary symbol for Pluto. At this stage the cover seems quite fixed in place and will not open. It symbolizes time and its eternal flow. Squire: The same clock, but with the cover has fallen open and glowing with power. He is able to open and close the cover at will, and that will be what activates the power that he has. Magic - With one click of the button on the top, he would be able to slow time to about 50% in a small, set area (6 feet) for about thirty seconds time. This ability would give him and his allies a small advantage as well as disorienting the enemy. Knight: The clock becomes the centerpiece for an elaborate scepter. The metal floral designs move down and along the handle and merge into the wood. This connects time with the earth and and makes a perfect melding of both Magic - A stronger version of the last attack. The delay itself is more like 50% and the area in which the delay happens is a bit larger (10 feet), lasting for 45 seconds of time. Those not slowed by the attack move through space at normal speed, but the area around them seems to be in a space behind glass.

Hey serp! I am here to get your boy all ready for stamping! ON THE CIVILIAN SIDE:Gabe's virtues and flaws look good, but he needs an equal number! I recommend adding a flaw; for some possibilities, can he be a bit of a know-it-all? Or how does he react if somebody knows him people-watching and isn't comfortable? ON THE POWERED SIDE:Unfortunately, a multi-part weapon like you have listed for his Page stage isn't going to work (Knight weapons have to be one piece); I am also a bit unsure about a weapon merged with his uniform? Weapons are usually separate objects, not part of the Knight's outfit. It could be worn, but it does have to be detachable. Stopping time is also a power that is considered too OP; he could slow time, or mess with his enemies' perception of it, but not stop it completely! Additionally, Knight magic works out of a pool -- the way you have it written, his attacks last for a set period, but Knights an channel in pieces! Think of it like a mana pool in an RPG, but with seconds instead of mana points or what have you. You can definitely give him a bit longer, perhaps 30 seconds at Squire and 40 at Knight? Quote me when you've made changes or if you have any questions and I will return~

Okay, just a few more things! How does his being a know-it-all tend to manifest? He doesn't seem like one to interject himself into conversations, but does he tend to over-answer questions, or the like? Also, how large of an area does his magic affect? I need a set radius in feet<3 (If you need suggestions, I think 5-8 would be fair for Squire, and 7-10 for Knight, since it's pretty powerful magic? But I do need a set numbers! )

Sorry, I was unclear -- I need a specific, set radius, so a single number (6ft, 9ft? What have you!) Once you've got that he should be good!

Hey, SerpentSong!
You have a really neat profile, and I think it needs just a little more before I can drop an official stamp! The civilian is fabulous, but I have just a few concerns about the powered side! The first is a visual thing—right now his design is gorgeous, but he could probably easily be considered a Nega. This is definitely because Pluto has a predominantly dark color scheme, however you may be asked to incorporate some lighter colors when you win a slot with the shop! In that case, you may need to work with an artist to make sure that he is more within the outfit requirements of a Knight!
Aside from that, I just had a little bit to say about the magic! During the upgrade between Squire and Knight Magic, usually only two aspects are able to change [So, range, duration or strength of attack!] Currently, Nirvana's magic is written to where he gets three upgrades to his magic, and combined it is pretty dangerous! Reducing an enemy's speed by 75% puts them at a huge disadvantage and it would allow other players to do serious harm while leaving them unable to really defend themselves. This also has the ability to affect a large group of players, so it might need to be toned down just a bit to better accommodate the effects of the magic! In this instance, slowing a character down more than 50% is really the only thing I am worried about [since at 50% they could still reasonably defend themselves while the magic still being very helpful to Nirvana!]. If you would be willing to keep the delay at 50% at Knight stage, I think it would still be perfectly fine to allow him to an area of ten feet to effect them! (I also think that if this were the case you could boost his magic pool to 45 seconds instead of just 40!).
If you are all right with that change, please let me know and I can stamp the profile, but if you would like to keep brainstorming or have any questions, please let me know and we can try to work out something! Please quote me if you make any changes or have any questions or comments and I will be back as soon as possible!

Please quote me if you make any changes or have any questions or comments and I will be back as soon as possible! I would be more than willing to set his magic at whatever works best for the shop. That is certainly not an issue for me. As for the colors, i am not certain how i would incorporate the lighter colors of his planet into his original outfit, i had plan to try and work in the violet and gold more in his knight stage, with his cape and perhaps a head wrap.

All right! Then, if you update the profile to reflect the changes, I can drop a stamp! (And you can discuss colors with an artist when you win him; he has a really neat design and seems like a cool character so I am wishing you all the luck in acquiring him!)
