Name: Nikola Severace
Age: 232 (Appears around 23)
Birthday: June 24th
Gender: Male
Species: Demigod
Category: Student
Class: College
Grade: Sophomore
College Major: Theatre
Occupation: Bartending

Appearance Description
: An unnaturally attractive individual, Nikola has blonde hair and blue eyes, stands at 6’2” and weighs about 165 lbs. He has the permanent beginnings of a tan on his skin, and intricate tattoos lace his body. His build is slim and impeccably fit.

Personality Description: If you had to pick one word to describe Nikola, it would be charismatic. He’s narcissistic to a fault, and searches for his own personal gain in more or less every situation. Very rarely would he do something for another person if it didn’t set him up for his own gain. Hell, the only reason he’s back in college is to get his name and face up in lights. And do you have any idea how much money actors make? Good lord. That being said, he does an incredible job of coercing other people and ensuring them that his gain is their gain as well.

Active Abilities: Gravity Manipulation: Nikola has the ability to alter the force of gravity, making it weaker or stronger in a ten meter area around himself, the effect of the ability determining the strength of the change (IE, the closer the area of change, the stronger the change can be). This ability is strong enough to pin down someone with super strength (at close quarters and with heavy concentration) and ranges all the way down to a feeling of pressure (at maximum range and with minimal concentration). Nikola’s gravity manipulation is incredibly taxing on his body, and he can only use it for so long and to such an extent before his body starts to damage itself. At maximum, he can continually manipulate gravity at a medium level for about fifteen minutes before he requires rest. The pain to Nikola starts as a slight headache, and ramps up within minutes to intense nausea and a crippling migraine. Used for too long and too excessively, Nikola may pass out entirely.

Passive Abilities: Nikola is a demigod of gravity and attractional forces, and ironically enough also has an innate talent for friendly and romantic attraction. Nikola is incredibly hard to resist, and those without mental resistance will find him unfathomably attractive. Once engaged in sight with him, people will begin to feel unnaturally attracted to him. Once engaged in conversation, this power really starts to work it's magic. His words start to appeal to whomever he is talking to, and once engaged in lengthy conversation (think five minutes straight or more) people become susceptible to suggestion. Though their free will still exists, it is heavily weakened and the person starts to feel almost addicted to Nikola, whether that be conversationally or otherwise. This power requires maintained eye contact and interaction, though it does not cease if either is lost. Rather, it slowly degrades over the next few days before losing it's effect completely. It is also worth saying that this power will never drive a person to an uncontrollable physical impulse. For lack of better phrasing, Nikola cannot use this power to get someone into a fight or to get laid.

Nikola still has the physiology of a demigod, and as such his body can take a little more punishment than normal. Though physical resistance is almost the same as human level, his liver can take an incredible amount of punishment. Nikola can drink up to fifteen times the lethal level of alcohol for mortals before it starts to affect his capabilities and processes. Cigars and cigarettes also have no adverse effects on his body, and any sort of drug is broken down by his body before it can take effect.

Common Magical Items: Aura Warning Bracelet

Biography: Nikola was bored with the life of a god. It was all politics, really. There was never a day without a quarrel or a disagreement or a bout to the death to determine who was the true deity. He needed something else. He needed change. And above all else, he needed recognition.

And so, he descended to the mortal plane to do...well, something more exciting than godhood. As it turned out, the mortals loved him. He phased himself into a local high school and was the most popular kid in the school. Within a week, he was the most popular kid in the town. People started to raise questions and concerns about the new kid who had already captured everyone's hearts, forcing him to come up with an elaborate transfer story. He spun a tale about how his parents had both moved overseas for work, but had opted to leave him in the US in the care of his godparents, who lived about an hour away in the big city. It was a hard travel every morning, but obviously it was well worth it for the friends he had made and the school he adored. Yadda yadda yadda. Few people questioned this backstory, but why would anyone want to doubt him? He seemed nice and well mannered, and it would be much more of a hassle than it was worth to interview the godparents.

Sports? He was the star player. School dances? Everyone asked him to them. Sooner rather than later, word got out that Nikola was extraordinary, and as such it came as no surprise when people veiled in secrecy arrived at his door. They asked (very politely) that he would stop breaking the veil of secrecy. He had heard that term before from his time of godhood, but he had always paid it very little attention. Apparently you weren't supposed to abuse your powers on mortals? Then what were they here for? Tuning back in to the scouts, he heard them talk of a place called Starlight Academy, which sounded like a place where he could flex his powers with minimal repercussions. A place where he could revel without worry of causing mass hysteria?

Nice.

Upon reaching the island, he took up bartending as a career and a hobby until he wrapped up his college.

Resources: Nikola has a private apartment and enough money to get by on. Most of his money goes to his apartment’s lavish furnishings, his clothing and his lifestyle, leaving very little for the practical things. He acquires this money through a combination of his bartending and the godly realm he left behind. Though he upset a many few by leaving, he still had many friends in big names in the realm, and though it wasn't exactly the most ethical, it was passed as a matter of survival for the demigod.
