Full Name: Elias Laurenz Zweig
Gender: Male
Age: 12
Power(s): Elias is a pyrokinetic. At the moment, his abilities are fairly weak, although they are growing daily. He can't create new fire himself yet, and he'll never be able to produce very much. All his practice thus far has come from ready-lit objects like candles because of this. Currently, he struggles moving it just a foot or so.
The more emotional he gets, the harder it is for him to control. At the moment that means the fire dissipates, but could potentially risk damaging things (or people) in the future.
He cannot operate fires in situations where they couldn't burn. This means if it was rainy, etc., it would be very difficult for him to use his powers.
I plan for him to become fairly powerful over time, and his potential is already fairly apparent.
Elias will develop an immunity to the effects of fire over time as well, ie, become somewhat impervious to heat and smoke. Rest assured he won't be pleased when this emerges, given the timing.
He's only had his pyrokinesis for a few months, so he has very little knowledge over his capabilities and limits. A the moment, he is capable of using its full power if his life is at stake.
Elias is likely to become sad when he uses his abilities, because he blames himself and the timing of his powers' emergence for his parents' deaths. He also feels bad as he almost benefited from their deaths.
Appearance: Elias is missing his right eye, and has a large burned patch of skin around there, along with more minor burns around the whole of the right side of his body. He normally covers these up with bandages, as eye patches don't cover the whole thing, and glass eyes creep him out. He can't see very well like this right now, as it's a fairly recent injury, and certain expressions look quite bizarre with this.
He has to change the dressing every day to stop infections. This is likely to continue for his life.
With this, it almost looks like his left eye is compensating, as it's very large and green.
His hair is a light blond, with naturally slightly darker highlights. It's fairly long, so it does a good job of hiding much of the bandaging, although it's still clear on his face. Elias' hairs' length is sufficient he can tie it up when he wants to.
He has the beginnings of a tan.
Elias is very small, with a round face.
His father taught him English, and he's pretty fluent. He's good at disguising his German accent, because of his practice. He really doesn't care about what he's wearing. He tends to dress more for cold weather, though. It's not uncommon to see him in girls' clothing. He finds it hard to be embarrassed by appearances, which contributes to this.
Personality: He's very dissimilar to the German stereotype, bar his liking for punctuality.
Elias loves reading. He would be an ideal target for bullies if he cared what they thought. Hes always willing to learn, even if it means corrections. He's very much a rule-follower.
Elias is never intentionally mean.
He's a pescetarian.
He always tries in social situations, and his intentions are normally good.
He hates it when people bring up his eye and related injuries. It doesn't take a big reminder of his parents to get him crying. He doesn't like talking about things that make him sad, which often makes his issues worse in the long run. He's naturally a little emotional, although he's the kind of guy who can't keep a smile off his face for more than ten minutes.
Elias is easily amused and entertained, which is what makes him feel so comfortable around others. He finds it hard to dislike people, although he doesn't think anyone's opinions should be allowed to affect him.
Picture(optional): (N/A) (currently ;D)
Weaknesses: The amount of experience he has had with his powers rather makes them difficult to control, and nothing compared to his full capabilities. He also gets sad with them, which doesn't make this any easier.
He blames himself for when they emerged, as if he could have changed it. He believes if they'd emerged a few minutes earlier, he could have saved his parents.
The amount of fire he can produce makes them somewhat impractical, anyways, even if he carries around matches, etc.
As his immunity to heat emerges, Elias will find it harder and harder to feel warm, and thus become more prone than most to the cold.
He's prone to infections in the burnt eye and skin, and has to be very careful with it and his hygiene, and probably always will. His eye sight is a bit dodgy at the moment, as he's unused to being one-eyed.
Strengths: Elias is pretty tolerant of other people. He doesn't see how any eccentricities could be of consequence to anybody else.
He's pretty modest, and unwilling to show off. If anything, he undervalues himself.
Elias always likes helping people, and is unlikely to get into any major arguments. He' kind and is incapable of hurting people by choice. His curiosity could be seen as a strength, too.
History/Family: Elias had pretty prestigious parents, as his mother was a foreign ambassador, and his father a lawyer. He rarely was with both his parents simultaneously. He comes from Berlin. Elias' parents were quite wealthy, so he grew up in a privileged manner. (or maybe manor?)
Around early spring this year, there was a fire at their house, which destroyed much of the building. Elias was asleep at the time, and as the fire was reaching his room, a burst of flames hit him in the face, burning it irreparably. He woke at the pain, and started screaming. When the fire department arrived, the neighbors reported hearing a scream, and the flames stopping within a few seconds.
The fire department reckoned his father's cigars caused the blaze, although they were unsure, as normally cigar caused fires couldn't kill two people.
The doctors did the best they could to repair Elias, but the damage was done, and his eye was unsalvageable. He had to spend a while in hospital.
As all his blood relatives were no dead, he was sent to his godfather, who happened to live in Port Albion. He's now living with their family, which has quite a few children.
His powers started developing there. Elias was partially sent to Foresta for his Gifts, and partially, because it was a local school.
