 POWER  There are five types of Elementals: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Light. Tarin happens to be a light elemental which means he can create his own light source as well as control other sources that are related to light (ie: turning on/off a lamp or lighting up a room). 

In order to use his powers, Tarin must be able to channel his energy to where he wants light to appear. He does the same process when he wants to draw light toward him- accepting the energy and releasing it as a bright shine. While it seems easy enough, Tarin must maintain a clear state of mind if he wants his abilities to work at full strength. An indicator of an Elemental's mental state ( specifically light elementals) is their aura. While many people, including other elementals may have an invisible aura, light elementals have a visible aura that appears as a gentle light surrounding them ( Think of golden hour before the sun begins to set). 

As long as the light elemental (AKA Tarin) is in good mental and physical health, their aura will shine. When ill or no longer in a clear state of mind, Tarin will appear to have a dull/ dim appearance until the correct amount of rest and self care has been taken.

 APPEARANCE At first glance, one might look over Tarin in a crowd without seeing him. He stands at a height of five feet and nine inches with sandy blonde hair that falls just past his ears and into his eyes. More often than not, Tarin keeps his head covered with a beanie or the hood of a sweatshirt. His eyes are a light cobalt blue with  dark bags under them due to lack of sleep. They timidly peer up at others from behind his blonde locks fondly admire the canvases and journals that he carries with him at all times. It's rare to see Tarin interacting with others in a conversation since he tries hard to avoid people in general. Being painfully timid, he doesn't like to make eye contact and can be seen walking with his head tilted down towards his shoes.

Tarin has an average build but seems smaller due to the way he carries himself; like a shy dog that tries to keep itself as  little as possible. While he's not  a muscle head, he also isn't a wet noodle either but could benefit from going to the gym. Tarin does not have any defining marks or features besides the usual scars here and there from growing up. He uses sweatshirts and beanies as protection, similar to a child that loves the warmth their favorite blanket, and uses them to blend into his surroundings so as not to draw attention to himself. While he's out, Tarin carries a large backpack that he keeps full of his art supplies that consists of a few small canvases, a writing journal, and some paints and pens. It's not uncommon for him to have a paint or ink smudge somewhere on his face or hands. Despite being a light elemental, Tarin's aura is not bright and visible like it should be. His skin and hair have a dull appearance, the way an old penny looks after years of use.

 

 PERSONALITY  In public he's reclusive and quiet, keeping his attention on his artwork or journal to avoid any possible social interaction. In the event he is social, he comes across as awkward and perhaps to some students, pathetic. A simple " How are you today?" causes him to freeze up like a deer in headlights while he stammers and his face flushes a deep crimson. Part of this is due to his anxiety that he has been struggling with for several years. If you're patient enough, he'll eventually warm up to you and perhaps even share some of his art work.

Although he's slow to come around, Tarin is loyal and kind hearted to those he considers his friends and will do anything he can to help them. One down side to his loyalty is that he is easily manipulated and can be persuaded into situations that he would usually avoid. 

In class it's clear that Tarin isn't interested in a majority of his assigned subjects. He prefers daydreaming and writing in his journal over paying attention to the lesson and as a result, has fallen behind on assignments. He struggles to keep track of events in reality when his imagination runs rampant. Outside of class Tarin can be found almost anywhere that is quiet and semi-secluded. His favorite areas include the Rose Gardens, Library, and Conservatory. 

Tarin struggles with anxiety and  frequent nightmares (details in History) that are part of the reason he looks tired all the time. While he has been seeking help with a counselor, 

 WEAKNESSES As mentioned above, Tarin is easily manipulated. He trusts so deeply in his friends (or those who pretend to be be his friends) that he is blind to any red flags that others may avoid. This results in Tarin getting into situations that have been sketchy and occasionally dangerous (explained in history). 

A second weakness is Tarin's aloofness to the outside world. Being cooped up in his younger years, 

 STRENGTHS Explain a strength of your character, can be either in their personality or appearance. You must be able to write at least three distinguishable strengths in this section that the administrators can clearly spot.

 HISTORY You don't have to write us a novel, but be sure to give enough information that everyone will understand why your character are the way they are. When were they born? Where were they born? Do they know their mother and father? Do they have siblings? When did they discover their power? Did anything traumatic ever happened to them? The minimum for this section is three paragraphs.
