Name: Krystopher ‘Krys’ Nowak
Age: 18
Birthday: May 10th
Gender: Male
Category: Student
Class: High School
Appearance Description:
Krys has straw-blonde hair with light green eyes. Physically he appears as if he were a few years younger, being lean and shorter than others his age. He keeps his hair ear-length and straight. He doesn’t wear any jewelry nor does he have any glasses.
For clothing, Krys is a very plain person. Never having a sense of fashion and with no one there to force him to experiment, he typically wears white shirts with khaki pants or shorts, depending on the weather. He sometimes wears a plain blue baseball cap if it is too sunny, not liking sunglasses. A look through his dresser shows multiple copies of the same outfit.
Personality Description:
Krystopher is extremely polite to everyone he meets, always smiling and on his best manners. He does what he can to seem non-threatening and tries to be helpful even to people he has only known for mere minutes. Despite this, he very rarely talks and when he does, it is hardly above a whisper. He seems to be aware of this flaw so it embarrasses him greatly when he is forced to speak.
It’s hard to say how he reacts around friends as he doesn’t have any. Due to his upbringing he had very few chances to play outside his family, though those that he did spend time with instead used him for his power. As such, Krystopher yearns to find a true friend, someone who wouldn’t just use him to make pretty crystal sculptures. Of course, that means that he hasn’t even considered the topic of love in any detail.
The only time Krys comes out of his shell seems to be when he is alone. For much of his teen life his only escapes were into video games and anime. Particularly a fan of the Mecha genre, anyone passing by his room would be surprised to hear him yelling in a hot-blooded manner along with his favorite characters. However, he still has trouble speaking at a regular volume when in public so the disconnect is rather jarring when others experience it.
Powers:
Krystopher’s main power is Geokinesis, though the only aspect of it he has actively practiced is turning rocks into beautiful crystal sculptures. These crystals are fragile yet can be easily manipulated by his power to change what they look like. He would give these sculptures to people he had wanted to be friends with when he was younger, though they ended up just selling them for money. Ever since he found out the truth, he stopped being very generous about giving them away.
The other ability had has manifested with his Geokinesis was covering his arms with a denser form of crystal to act as a shield. It was purely a reflexive action and the person attacking him broke their hand when they struck it. Ever since that incident, Krys has been afraid to try creating the same effect again as he doesn’t wish to hurt anyone like had. With a little bit of practice, other abilities would be sure to be within his grasp.
As a minor power, Krystopher has a heightened sense of Empathy. This tends to make him stay away from larger crowds as all the emotions rolling over him make him feel uncomfortable. That is also why he tries to make everyone around him happy so that he doesn’t have to feel negative emotions. With some help, he should be able to break out of the shell he has created for himself to experience the true beauty of his empathic gift, if he found the right people to do it with.
Biography:
The family that Krystopher was born to was a very old Polish one, their roots dating back hundreds of years. Very traditional, Krys’ father Markal tried to instill a disdain for anyone different in his siblings and himself. Luckily, it never seemed to take in the youngest son.
Krys’ mother Katriana insisted that the boy and his sisters be home-schooled, so they could be raised right. She genuinely cared for her children and was the only one that Krys could open up to. Displeased at how gentle his son was being, Markal did his best to keep mother and son apart and work he boy nearly to exhaustion. Despite the labor, Krys ended up being the runt of his siblings and vexed his father to no end.
It was soon after he became a teenager that Krystopher discovered his gifts. The memory of when he first created a crystal eludes him, though after the first one he seemed to just know how to create them. Knowing what his father would think, that it was some sort of witchcraft, he kept the secret to himself. He tried to give some sculptures to his sisters as peace offerings for friendship, though all they paid him was lip service and turned around to sell the crystals.
Managing to keep his secret for a number of years, it all fell apart when Markal dragged his son into the city he worked in to show him how to be a true man. That evening they stopped at a bar where a fight had just broken out between two of the patrons. In a drunken haze one of them tried to punch Krystopher thinking the boy had insulted him. Throwing his arms up, Krys’ power activated to form a crystal shield which broke the drunken man’s hand.
The shock of what he had done coupled with the emotions he felt from everyone around him caused him to run away from his father, losing him in the city. He slowly made his way back home, trading little crystal sculptures for food when someone was nice enough to barter. He was terrified of what awaited him, knowing his father would disown him and leave him in the world with nothing to call his own. For once, though, fortune would be on his side.
His mother found him first, having gone looking for her son after she had heard about what had happened. She had always suspected something was special about the boy, though she would never have imagined that he could control crystals as he could. She had received a letter soon after the incident inviting Krystopher to attend the Starlight Academy, which she believed was the best choice for her son. Before he could even see his father again, Katriana had her son on the plane leaving for the school.
The only things Krystopher had when he landed were a few weeks’ worth of his preferred clothing, his stuffed baby harp seal doll, and the games and anime his mother had managed to save from his father’s rampage. His worldview still small and with no idea what he wanted from his future, the boy nervously took his first steps into the school proper. He hoped he’d be able to find himself at the Academy, at the very least to find someone who would actually want him as a friend.

OOC: I know he might sound like a bit of a blank slate, but that's pretty much what he is. A few quirks and hobbies to mold into a full person throughout roleplaying. If this is okay, I'd love to see how he develops in his various interactions with others.
