[ This is a staff credit o u o/ ]

User ImageAMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM

Name: Locksley Blackwood
Nicknames: ... Please call him Lock
Gender: Male
Age: 15

Faction: Reaper
Race: Shadowmaster (see next post!)

Natural Ability: Lock can meld into his shadow and occupy a shadowy circle for a short amount of time. He cannot go through walls/move in this form.

Personality: Lock is calm. He has an inner peace about him that leaves him relatively level headed in daily interaction. He treats everything with a bored enthusiasm- he'll do it because he has to, not because he wants to. He is as expressive as the next person, but he also knows when to be peaceful and to dwell on his thoughts, rather than rush into things.

It doesn't mean he's unkind. Sheltered would be a better word for it- Lock has been raised in a somewhat more secluded area of Halloween, that doesn't quite function the same as a large boarding school. He's learning to adjust to his new emotions and situations, and hasn't quite yet grasped interactions with others. He prefers going it alone and doing what work he can individually over forcing himself to be friends with everyone. He doesn't purposely avoid people, he just doesn't want to trouble them. He'll be kind to anyone who approaches him though, in his own abrupt sort of way.

Lock is relatively levelheaded. Like any halloween citizen, he can be pushed into histeria, but for the most part he keeps himself relatively calm. He isn't riled easily by others, unless they know exactly which buttons to press. This also means that he doesn't get angry or sad often either. Unfortunately, this means he doesn't get happy easily either. Or much of anything.

Some other fun facts:
- Has really shitty eyesight due to heavy underground exposure all his life, and wears glasses most of the time because of it
- His familiar is a fluffy black cat named Voodoo. The cat seems to be made of compacted shadows, so it gives the appearance of a loose, disappearing state. She wears a little collar of blue ribbon, and has a very feminine, almost motherly likeness.


Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy?
Lock grew tired of his family's hermit ways. Getting his passport for the human world was a good excuse to get away from his underground dwelling. He's nervous about seeing more of the world away from his home territory, but at the same time he's very excited to experience something new.

FEAR Ability: Lock wraps any injury in his shadows, which then work to heal the target in a soothing way.
xxxxx- Mechanic: The Chill


Physical Description:

Eye Colour: Up to artist
Hair Colour/Style: Short, layered black with a whiter front
Skin Colour: Super ultra mega pale. Like borderline albino.
Clothing Style/Colours: Really baggy, things with holes and tears. Many layers, black and white mostly
Extra: --

Shadowmaster:

Shadowmasters are a branch of mages! They're a group that has specialized in manipulation of the darkness into shapes. Instead of creating shadows or manipulating their own, they instead use mediums such as boxes, chests or pots- anything that can create a dark space. It should be noted that the box/pot/pocket isn't their weapon. Instead, it is a sort of medium. In example, in a very sunny area, your personal shadow would be quite small. To ensure that they have a constant source of darkness, shadowmasters carry permanent sources of darkness, like boxes, which they then pull shadows from.

To be clear, his familiar is NOT the shadows he uses. For him, his shadows are like ink. He holds them in an inkpot (his pockets/bags) and utilizes them with a pen (his familiar). If it helps, a "fire mage" wouldn't say "fire" is their weapon, but instead they utilize magic fire via a staff. Like so, Shadowmasters use their weapon/familar to manipulate shadows. In this way, the reapers use their familiars to manipulate the shadows from within the medium.

They're more well known for their shadowy hands that emerge from walls and ceilings that carry souls away, but they are fully capable of other shapes as well.

[ If it still doesn't make sense, let me know so I can make it clearer/work out something new > O
Familiar:

Lock's familiar is a black maine coot cat made of shadows. Her name is Voodoo and she's very dainty. Almost to make up for Lock's terrible eyesight, Voodoo has four eyes, which she utilizes to make "cute eyes" at any opportunity possible. Lock sometimes affectionately calls her Heichuu. She's not terribly bright (and not just because she's made of shadows) but her loveable nature makes up for it. She's very easily distracted and is very easily entertained. Voodoo tries to hold herself as a scary, dignified cat, but it really doesnt work when she's rolling around with a play mouse.
