"Everyone belongs somewhere, ye just gotta look hard enough!"

The Biography

Birth Name: Andrew Alroy McCaghren
Aliases: Andy, Drew
Gender: Male
Age: 9
Birth Day: May 19th
Arcana: The Star
Place of Residence: Private lodge in East Eden
Academy Semester: Elementary School
Class: (We'll fill this in once you're approved. This will be your class in school)

Sorority: Swimming Club

Base Appearance:

Andrew McCaghren [Endymion Shadow Self] 256957

Andrew stands at one hundred and thirty-two centimeters (52 inches) and weighs 28 kilograms (63 pounds). He sports short red hair and small blue eyes, along with a pair of thin eyebrows. He is usually seen wearing a light-blue and lime shirt with a growing plant design on it, dark blue shorts and black sneakers with white socks, though he prefers to stay barefoot when indoors. His facial expressions are often either wildly exaggerated or ironically mild, with few instances where they find themselves in between these two extremes. His skin is also asian-caucasian.

True Self:

Andrew McCaghren [Endymion Shadow Self] Primarina_by_ground_lion-damk7az

When Andrew transforms into his True Self, he becomes a feminine creature resembling a cross between a mermaid and a sea lion with white fur, blue scales, light blue long, flowing hair and several frillish adornments. In his regular position of leaning on his belly and flippers, he reaches a height of 1.8 meters (71 inches), while the complete length of his body reaches 2.6 meters (142 inches), with the whole thing weighing in at 50 kilograms (110 pounds). In this form he executes physical attacks by using his long hair as a whip, and he movilizes by swimming through the air a few feet above the ground.

Personality: Andrew's most noteworthy and noticeable trait is his immense and nearly boundless innocence. Despite having a bit of a potty mouth (courtesy of being raised by a bunch of sailors), he is always the optimist, ready to assume the best and give the benefit of the doubt, and even gullible to a fault due to the belief that all people are good and have no reason to hurt him. In his eyes, when people do evil things it's simply because they are misguided and need help. However, just because he may pretend to understand why people do harmful things, that doesn't mean that he will forgive and forget right away. In fact, Andrew is immensely sensitive, even for a boy of his age. All this contrasts drastically with his rough-like Irish accent and his previously mentioned habit of compulsively swearing, though he does bite his own tongue and apologize every time he lets one out.

Another defining characteristic of Andrew's is that he is largely interested in all things that are traditionally considered as "girly" by modern society and kids his age: singing, dolls, cooking, ballet, make-up, dresses, you name it. In addition, he's never been one for the more traditionally manly things, such as cars, sports, videogames, etc. While his available family doesn't hate him for it, they do actively try to persuade him over to the manly side of things, while the other kids his age he is forced to spend time with at school bully him mercilessly for it. This has led to him developing signs of low self-esteem, and while he doesn't allow his less-than-gracious self-appreciation affect his mood, a massive deficit of a sense of belonging has rooted itself within him as a result of all this. He feels like he hasn't yet found the place he should call "home", where he can be himself without needing to fear retribution for it.

Furthermore, he is incredibly friendly and outgoing with girls, however, despite being straight, he tends to be shy around boys as he feels like he constantly needs to impress them or avoid annoying them when around them, lest they mock him.

Though prior to awakening to his shadow self he will try to conceal his girly interests as best he can, upon becoming one with his own suppressed emotions he leaves the judgement of others behind him and hides none of his true colors.

The Potential

Strengths:

—Strength Name: Always The Optimist
—Description: As a result of his happy-go-lucky mentality, it's incredibly difficult to dampen Andrew's mood without directly insulting him, which makes it easy for him to get along with nearly all people who don't actively dislike him, as well as keep an energetic attitude even when things are looking grim inside and outside of danger.

—Strength Name: Universal Understanding
—Description: Even when faced with pure evil, Andrew has made it a habit to think through and figure out why anybody would do anything that they do, and believes that the world can't just be separated into black and white.

—Strength Name: Marine Athleticism
—Description: Andrew's constant swimming training and inherent talent for swimming do not come without benefits. In human form, Andrew can swim at roughly 1.8 meters per second (2 yards/6 feet), but in his true self form his marine body allows him to swim at 10 meters per second (11 yards/32.8 feet).

—Strength Name: Swift Breeze
—Description: In his true form, Andrew adopts the form of a creature not only attuned to water, but also to cold and fast winds such as those in the arctic. Wind attacks have a 15% boost in potency.

—Strength Name: Cold Body
—Description: In his True Form, Andrew's body has the properties of an animal whose body benefits from cool, ventilated temperatures and ambients. In battle this means that every time Andrew is hit by an ice or wind type attack, PMStr is boosted by 15% until the end of his next turn. This effect does not stack.

((A floating Strength is a strength you've gained inRP. For example, if you were on a Kendo team for some time, you'd naturally know Kendo which is where this strength would come in. However, be aware, it will not be as strong as any of your actual strengths and is a small plus)

—Floating Strength Name:
—Description:

Weaknesses:

—Weakness Name: Sensitive Flower
—Description: Andrew is sensitive. Like, ridiculously sensitive. Insulting him or people he cares about will rarely ever result in anything other than tears or resentment.

—Weakness Name: Gullible
—Description: A drawback of Andrew's plentiful innocence is the fact that he has a bad habit of believing mostly anything you tell him without a second doubt unless you've lied to him in the past and he'd found out.

—Weakness Name: Marooned
—Description: Being a marine creature, though it brings great swimming benefits, isn't so helpful when it comes to land. Though Andrew can walk around just fine on land, his true self has to drag itself around, severely limiting its movement.

—Weakness Name: Soft Body
—Description: Despite being a force not to be underestimated, the physical strength packed into Andrew's normal form and True Form alike is... lacking. All dexterity attacks dealt by Andrew have a 15% damage reduction.

—Weakness Name: Shadow's Innocence
—Description: A unique set of circumstances in Andrew's psyche, between being too young to completely understand and being in a constant struggle between longing for the liberation of his true self and wanting to keep it at bay has led to him developing a lack of comprehension of his existance as a Shadow Self. He knows something happened to him, and he knows he has changed, but in his mind he is still human. On top of this, his shadow self was too weak at first to successfully eliminate his regular self, which ends in the two merging together into one. Due to his lacking understanding of his new form and the sheer irregularity of his situation, when transforming there is a one in eight chance that Andrew will lose focus mid-transformation and temporarily botch the power packed into his True Form, reducing his PMStr by 15% until the end of his next turn.

((A floating weakness is one gained in RP. It could be a fear you inherited during RP, or an injury that hinders your character. Some can be temporary while others can be permanent.)

—Floating Weakness Name:
—Description:

Soul Bound Weapon: (This is the weapon you'll be able to summon to your hand while in combat. This weapon is special for your character specifically and can also form when you transform into your True Self. This can be anything but a Gun (Or gun related weapon unless pre-purchased with a Nihil Soul))

Weapon Name: Ocean's Flow
Weapon Description: Ocean's Flow is a long whip made of teal-dyed leather with a pristine handle made of solid pearl. Usually, the whip itself is curled up so Andrew can carry it better, but at its full length it's 2.8 meters long. When Andrew transforms into his True Self, Ocean's Flow becomes his hair, which he uses in the same manner as an actual whip.
Weapon Attack Type: Strike

Side-Arm Weapon:

Side-Arm Name: Ruinous Seabreeze
Side-Arm Description: Ruinous Seabreeze is a dark blue and black harpoon-like crossbow. Though its original purpose was to fire crossbow bolts or mini-harpoons, it is equipped with the necessary stuff to fire bullets as well.
Side-Arm Attack Type: Gun
Side-Arm Style: Revolver - Single Shot - Accuracy is increased by 20%. Consumes only one type of ammo per use. Can shoot only one enemy at a time.

The Background

History:
Andrew Alroy McCaghren was born in the Irish port town of Kinsale into the remarkably large McCaghren family. His father was a retired buff 'n gruff sailor, and her mother, a marine biologist, succumbed to the physical stress that birthing Andrew imparted on her soon after he came to life while holding him in her arms. His childhood was spent in a house on the verge of the seaside and on boat trips, raised by his peculiar family: his ex-sailor (now fisherman) of a father, two rascal older brothers, his gun salesman uncle, and his senilely demented ex-soldier of a grandfather. In contrast to the other stereotypically manly, testosterone-packed members of the McCaghren family, Andrew was a shy and quiet child that took any chance he could to avoid being involved in his family's scary (or, as said from the other family members' point of view "Fuckin' grand") antics.

After the Eternal Divide, the McCaghren family quickly moved to Endymion seeking refuge from the new inhabitants of the earth after convincing Andrew's father that he couldn't just fistfight against demons. During his new upbringing in Endymion City, Andrew figured out that unlike his other family members whose passion lied in sea-related activities, his passion lied in singing. Specifically, he wanted to learn to sing and act to partake in Musicals. Moreover, he found that he got a large amount of enjoyment out of things like dresses, dolls, and cartoons aimed towards little girls. To this day, the words that his father uttered when he found out of all this are still engraved in his mind for how heart-wrenchingly hurtful they were.

"Ain't no son of mine going to be a sissy!"

In order to keep his son in the route of what he considered the family calling, Andrew's father enlisted his son into his scool's swimming club, hoping that then he would "gain appreciation for lady ocean". In order to keep his father from hating him or berating him, Andrew adapted and did his best in the swimming classes, achieving quite a prollific talent for swimming and anything water-related, and he also began to supress his emotions around his family, seeming more neutral and disinterested in everything that his true self. He still practices singing to musical numbers when his family's not around, and though they don't know it, he takes every single chance he can to enjoy the things he loves away from their prying eyes. He now lives in a private lodge in East Eden next to the biggest river in the district along with his family, but when his father's fishing, his uncle's at work, his grandpa's asleep and his brothers are at parties or the such Andrew sneaks off to the main city to be himself and by himself. He longs to find the place where he truly belongs, believing that he was just born into the wrong family, and is constantly looking for it.

Your opportunist strength can only boost one type of damage and at best 15% at best to balance the weakness. For the Innocence weakness and Cold Body strength the stats being boosted should match up. You could get a boost to a single stat by an amount and have the weakness be a penalty to a single stat. Everything else is fine.

Specify a type of damage for example. Strike, Slash Pierce while your weakness can also pertain to a certain type. For your Innocence weakness it now does not have to hurt so much. It can now just potentially lower one stat by 15%
