Hobbies:
Busy in the Kitchen ::
Finding Isaiah with white stuff on his face really isn't that uncommon. Flour, bits of sugar, cream cheese frosting, and so on, are among the guilty parties. He enjoys the creative aspect of cooking and baking, especially for how decorative the latter can be. Elaborate affairs like gingerbread houses for Halloween or Christmas are among his particular favorites, but so are cookie creations with particular themes for him to play with. Don't get him started on crazy cakes--he lights up like nothing else when a customer comes into the bakery looking for a custom, elaborate, decorated as all heck cake. It's important to him, though, to have a creation that looks as beautiful as it tastes delicious--he's not particularly fond of fondant for that reason, but can enjoy it for visual aspects of a piece... and use other techniques for the actual to be eaten part. Cooking is less visually creative for him, and entirely focused on the taste, but he will play around with plating if given the time. While it might be a job for him, too, Isaiah happily spends copious amounts of free time on his creations in the kitchen, hoping to come up with delicious and nutritious meals to help satisfy himself and friends--and neighbors, and co-workers, and don't forget local groups he volunteers with to help feed those in need of a hearty meal... It's a labor of love for him, without question.
Just don't interrupt his space while he's working. He's liable to toss you out--with something to nibble on while you wait--unless he's assured you know what you're doing!
Old Song and Dance ::
Since Isaiah was little, he's been obsessed with musical theater, dance performances, and concerts. The beautiful voices, the amazing movements of the bodies, the costumes... it's always astounded him. The voice of the cantor as he sang the piyyutim at his synagogue and other religious festivities only further inspired Isaiah, prompting him to pester his parents until he was finally signed up for lessons both in and out of school concerning both song, and dance. He is at this point trained in classical ballet and performs with a small dance school's troupe, though he prefers more freeform styles when he can get away with it. Mixing music and dance together though, by way of theatrical musical performances with his schools' productions, has always been his ideal.
Movie Motivation ::
If Isaiah's working in the kitchen, he's got Netflix, Prime, Hulu, or a DVD going of some movie or another. If he's just chilling at home, they're also playing. He gets weekly alerts from his local movie theater via their app on what their lineup for the week is in terms of new releases, classics playing, and so on, so he can try to schedule things accordingly around his responsibilities. Midnight releases for anticipated films? He's in line with his preordered ticket he got soon as the option was available. For him, movies offer a wonderful way to escape for an hour (or a few), or help pass the time as he works. He's not super aware of the technical stuff, though he enjoys watching behind the scenes extras when he can, and can often find great enjoyment out of films that critics and audiences rip to shreds. Ask him about lore of cinema universes, though, and he can quickly become an encyclopedia of tidbits and point out particularly meaningful camera shots.

Hair: Brown, curly af, cut short at his ears.
Face: Slender face, piercings in his ears at the bottom of the lobes.

Virtues:
Patient ::
If he knows what he's waiting for, Isaiah can wait (almost) forever for the outcome. Customer being indecisive about an order? So long as it isn't impacting his deadline, he'll offer prompts and ideas, but otherwise, leave them to their decision making and focus on other orders. Trying to help assist a fellow performer with learning a dance routine? He'll go over things as many times as needed, and as many ways as he can think of, to try and find the best fit for them to memorize and get movements down pat. Someone isn't comfortable around him, or seems to be shy? He'll remain warm and friendly, but keep a step back to give them the time and room to acclimate to him. Sure, not everything can be solved by perseverance and patience, and in those moments Isaiah needs to figure out his own limits--if a customer's set a strict deadline, he will become strict in when he needs information, or let them know he'll be tacking on extra rush fees to hit their deadline (worse case, refund the customer and refuse the order, if things really get down to the wire due to the customer's issues). Some people can't be helped, some things are outside of Isaiah's aid or experience--once he realizes that, he will remove himself from the situation as cleanly as possible, and if possible try to find them better assistance. He's patient, but not willing to hold up his life or cause hindrances in others' for it.
Believer ::
Silver linings are Isaiah's best friends. At his core, he wants to believe everyone has good in them. It might be buried, it might be hard to see, it might only be in specific situations or towards specific people, but it's there. He also refuses to accept that things won't work out in the end--in his book, they must. It might not be for a long time coming, beyond his involvement in a situation, or maybe his lifetime, but things will work out for the better. Things happen for a reason, is a bittersweet concept that he might as well have tattooed over his heart. Often times, the worst things happen, and Isaiah needs to tell himself that it's a lesson he must learn, as painful though it might be, or as unfair as it might seem. It is a lesson he must learn, grow from, and continue on, for only in that way will things work out for the best. Some people might say he's merely in denial about the worst life can bring, but in Isaiah's mind, it is a necessary part in order to appreciate the best it can bring, in turn.
Generous ::
Offering his time to help others learn routines, or help make meals for those in need of them, or even using up his free time to make yummy treats for friends and family--this is a common thing for Isaiah, and not something he does lightly. He wants the world to be a better place, so he intentionally does what he can to try and help make that a reality. He willingly gives his time, what money he can, and what donations he can make of his belongings, to help make the day a bit brighter for someone else. He enjoys assisting others, and enjoys knowing his efforts are being put to good use. This can at times set him up for helping out a little too much, or maybe giving away a bit more than he should, perhaps to people who really don't need it, but he takes such things in stride--a lesson to be learned, a step along a path he needs to take for some reason. It won't stop him from helping the next person along his path, that's for sure.
Flaws:
Bleeding Heart ::
Tell Isaiah you're having a bad day, and he'll supply you a hot meal, or random munchies or sweets, without question to try and lift your spirits. Tell him about your horrible week, he'll listen and sympathize, nod his head, tell you how horrible it is and how strong you're being for getting through... and probably give you more things to eat. Tell him about your horrible, painful childhood, and the guy'll likely be sobbing while he offers to help you out with whatever you need--as he's able, anyway. Isaiah wants to believe in people, just as much as he wants to help them to make their bleh or tragic days all the better and brighter. He's a horrible sap for sob stories, spends likely too much of his money--because he only has so much time--to local charities, especially for the homeless and for animals. In his desire to just want to help, he often can get taken in by scams and schemes, and while he likely will figure it out eventually and remove himself from it, Isaiah likely would have already paid a hefty cost for it. Often, along with financial and time, that can be his own wellbeing for how much of his own efforts into aiding someone who never needed it in the first place.
Escapism Prone ::
Isaiah believes, without fail, that things will work out. They have to. He can't accept a world where, even if it's not in his lifetime, things just remain bad. It goes against his very core. So when the good doesn't happen after a good while... Isaiah has a hard time handling it, in a big bad way. Yes, he can tell himself it just hasn't happened yet--it will, someday, he'll still be pulled into an internal fit of I wasn't good enough, I wasn't enough, I wasn't strong enough and so forth. He'll turn to his hobbies to distract himself, sure, but if that doesn't work... he'll just flick on YouTube, Netflix, or whatever... and just sleep. He'll just try to escape his problems till he feels 'better' or 'strong enough' to face them again, but usually, that results in the problems just compounding even worse. Often, it's a this point that Isaiah comes to the realization he needs to get himself out of a bad situation, but it's usually joined by the now compounding issues of slacking at work, or missing practices, or falling behind in his classes, or other aspects of his life he fully loves and enjoys. On top of whatever he needs to separate himself from. It's a destructive habit that has caused him to lose parts in performances, or run the risk of falling out of courses. Something he's aware he needs to work on, but has yet to fully address. It's easier, in this case, to just push it to the back of his mind and forget about until he's spiraling again.
Idealist ::
Isaiah wants--and at times needs--the glass to be half full, the silver linings, and so on. Things must work out in the end, eventually, somehow. He will sacrifice his time, resources, energy, and at times, even his emotional (and perhaps physical) wellbeing to try and be the positive force and influence he wants to see in the world. He is not naive to how the world works, that corruption and schemes exist--sometimes in heavier doses in some areas than others. He's aware of how his good intentions can be misused and misled. He will give until it hurts, follow someone to the cliff, and when a situation only turns out to have bad end results despite all his attempts, he will know he at least tried. That doesn't mean he'll be saved of the backlash--emotional, physical, social, and so on. He'll spiral, blame himself for his shortcomings for why things didn't work out. He'll eventually remind himself that this was another lesson he had to learn, bitter though he might be on it. And he'll get back up, and go back to helping people, using what he gained from the last incident as something to learn from, and apply to the next situation.

 Knight Title: Yetzirah of Cosmos
Challenge: Not sure you've fully formed that plan yet. / What's written in the stars isn't always set in stone.
Uniform:
Reference is meant to be his past life self, of which the design can be used to influence his knight concept. Allowing for necessary changes, of course, as needed. See for flats here. Cape, full extent of gold and lace designs, are all meant to be used for his Knight stage, with earlier stages simplified.
Top -- Bodysuit, gradient peachy-pink to light purple. Deep V-ish opening at the top outlined with white lace. Starry material somewhere?
Bottoms -- Bodysuit.
Sleeves -- Transluscent peachy-pink, billowy. Reach to his wrists where more white lace in feather-y designs reaching to about his mid-forearm. Shimmery, starry material?
Gloves -- N/A
Belt -- Abstract gold belt, golden bits hanging off of it with the Cosmos symbol on them
Shoes -- White thigh-highs with lace and gold accenting. High-heels. Toes have a Cosmos star pattern on it in gold.
Shoulders -- Just lace at Page
Accessories -- Gold rings, earrings, lace and gold choker, lace-like makeup by his eyes.
Weapon & Magic
Page Weapon: A somewhat ornate quill pen with a carved golden handle. The feather is white and iridescent. [Thinking a more fillegree look on the golden handle. Also like the idea of the silver going higher up, but for the feather to be full (not kinda 'one sided' like those). Other random inspo, and another, more. The feather shouldn't be 'fluffy' like an ostrich feather, as those are incapable of flight, but more a throw-back to his past self's feathers. Any design motifs should be around the whole 'angelic'/'cherub' deal.]
Squire: A more ornate quill pen with a carved, detailed golden handle. The feather is longer now, still white and iridescent.
When Yetzirah focuses on his weapon, black ink begins to come from the quill tip, starry and dazzling like the night sky full of stars and galaxies were dripping from it. Yetzirah is able to 'write' with this ink over an injured area on an individual, resulting in the formation of unknown characters that seep into the injury itself. Upon being absorbed, the ink helps to ease, even numb, some of the pain the individual is feeling, along with heightening the mending process of the injury itself. He can only channel this for up to 45 seconds, and the longer he spends on a person, the greater an injury the magic is able to heal, or aid in healing.
15 seconds are required to fully heal mild injuries, mostly heal moderate injuries, and slightly increase the healing on major injuries (so to at least somewhat stabilize them). After 15 seconds, no further healing can be done for an individual.
Knight Weapon: A most ornate and dazzling quill pen with a carved, detailed golden handle. Golden stars and designs of wings can be seen upon it, or hanging from the quill. The feather is quite long now, still white and iridescent.

Upon being absorbed, the ink helps to ease some of the pain the individual is feeling, along with heightening the mending process of the injury itself. He can only channel this for up to 60 seconds, and the longer he spends on a person, the greater an injury the magic is able to heal, or aid in healing.
15 seconds are required to fully heal mild injuries, fully heal moderate injuries, and moderately increase the healing on major injuries (so to at least somewhat stabilize them). After 15 seconds, no further healing can be done for an individual.
