Name- Algernon D. Plague
Age- 16
Date of Birth-May 8th
Homelands- Azraelie
Race- Human
Class- Seer
Final- Soothsayer's Secret
This allows Algernon to see from his younger self. Sometimes, when around the boy, you might think you see a young, ghostly looking child. This child is Algernon as four/five year old. Though you may think you're hallucinating, the ghost is very much real, following his older self most of the time. Algernon can use this being as an offensive attack, called 'Soothsayer's Secret'. It allows him to control the child, seeing through his eyes, and while he is doing so, he can disturb a soul by coaxing it out of the human or creature from which it belongs to and taking it away, leaving the previous holder feeling empty or depressed. It has such of an effect that the person could die, and the soul could wander for all eternity. Banished from Heaven, rejected by Hell, and resented by all beings on Earth.
There is always a chance the soul can be returned, but it normally happens by accident unless Algernon does it on purpose. Though he is able to control his power, he still doesn't like to use it. The thought of being able to destory someone like that doesn't appeal to him.
----------------------------
{Weapon information}
*Pacifist - Algernon does all he can to avoid any phyical conflict, and therefore doesn't carry around a weapon as he hates fighting. He believes that when God wants him to die, he'll die, he has no right to interfere.
{Armour Information}
*Drapt's Necklace
This is the necklace his younger sister gave to him before they parted. It's very simple. An orange stone is connected to a light brown and very thin rope, which hangs around his neck.
It triggers a sheild when he's going to be attacked or when it thinks he's about to be harmed. Sometimes he has control over the item, and sometime's he doesn't. The sheild varies from a light blue color to a dark purple, though the color has nothing to do with the power of it or of how long it lasts. Up to know, Algernon is still unknowledgeable of how long it does last, however, since he rarely uses it.
{Accessory Information} **note: he carries around jewelry from his sisters, though he rarely lets onto this, not wanting someone to take them.
Millie's Bracelet, Kaycee's Ring, Illumina's Charm, Onina's Diamond:
The bracelet is a simple one. It's made completely out of gold, with little chains attached to each other and closed by a small lock. He wears this on {his} left hand. The ring is bronze with a ruby on it, and an intricate design engraved onto the band. It's too complicated to explain in detail, but someone once told Algernon it seems to resemble the way vines grow and cling to poles and fences in a garden. It's worn on {his} left hand as well.
Illumina's Charm (bracelet) is only half-completed, because it couldn't be finished before she was sold off to a man. It's made out of lightly colored string, the colors having already faded away. It's now a very soft pink, yellow, and blue, tied up as though it were a braid. Algernon did his best to finish up the ends, but keeps it safe because he doesn't want to lose it. Onina's diamond is a small, light blue diamond. It's very pretty, though Algernon doesn't know the color of it, not wanting to show someone because he's afraid they'll take it away. Onina didn't have time to tell him about it, hastily shoving it into his hands along with the words 'Never forget me' and then she left. Algernon never showed it to his mother, believing it is of value, and knowing she'd take it away from him to buy herself pills.
These pieces of jewelry have no real use, but Algernon keeps them because they remind him of his sisters. If anyone ever asks him about the accessories he wears, he's always tentative to explain, and sometimes may shrug the question off altogether.
{Physical Description}
Algernon is tall and skinny with brownish colored hair and gray eyes. Over the years, a thick covering, that didn't inflict any pain on him, began to grow over his eyes. It was also a dark, gray color, but if you looked closely, you could see him move his eyes under the covering. Because of this, sunlight and anything that would normally affect one's vision doesn't bother him at all, but he;\'s very much aware of it. Due of his blindness, it is only natural he can hear, feel, smell, and taste things better than most people can, and can often detect or decide something because of these enhanced senses.
Algernon has very pale, almost white skin, and his light brown hair often falls in way of his face, though he easily brushes it off, thinking it's rude that people can't see him if and when they want to have a conversation. He sports a lanky appearence, sometimes giving people the impression he has some sort of eating disorder because he's so thin. This could also be due to the fact he never seems to eat, and when he does, it's very little. He's used to not eating much, normally consuming only enough to fill him up.
Algernon is very quiet and peaceful, usually a nonchalant expression showing upon his face. He's a pacifist, unable to stand violence, and when in a new place, Gecko is his guide. He has a very good memory, which is why he's usually able to get around in familiar places, and the only way to mess him up is by changing around the furniture without telling him.
He sometimes breaks his back to help others and isn't easily intimidated. However, he tends to put his beliefs before others, even himself. So he'll go to Church instead of attending an important meeting, for example, because that is one of is beliefs and he thinks he deserves the right to follow it. Other than that, he's also very quiet, something to the point where it's obnoxious because he will give vague answers about his past or something private if he feels like it, though this normally depends on his mood.
{Background}
Algernon was born into a small family, it being only him and his parents. For the first four and a half years of his life, he had an unusually low IQ, and his parents believed him to be a mentally disabled child. However, over the short span of one year, his intelligence rose and soon became one that was above average. His parents were relieved, if not surprised, by this sudden boost, but another challenge awaited them. Alergnon was born blind, but in his years of childhood, seemed unable to speak.
However, he was perfectly capable of doing such a thing, just not around his parents. His mother spent loads of money trying to get help for him, as though something were wrong, and then thought he was perhaps emotionally disturbed. It got to the point where her husband became fed up with her, claiming she was holding back his dream of one day running his own buisness because she was spending so much money when he blieved there was nothing wrong with their son. Once he found out she was pregnant with another child, he left her and his firstborn, not caring of what became of them.
Algernon, during the ages of six and nine, remained with his mother, but spent little or no time with her. He often wandered on his own, sometimes getting lost and being away from the house for days, as if searching for someone or something he couldn't find. He didn't let blindness get in the way, and over the years was able to train his senses to become stronger than most. It was on one of these trips in which he met a small, white kitten, seemingly the runt of the litter, which he named 'Gecko'.
Gecko, as he had found out, had unusual markings. He was a white shorthair, but the stripes on his back were a light pink, and his eyes were completely black and depthless. He hardly ever made a sound, but Algernon found comfort in the mammal, tiny for it's size, and took care of it. He would only ever talk to the cat, and, more often than not, wonder what Gecko would say back to him if he were capable of human speech.
His mother soon became addicted to pain killers after giving birth to four more children, Algernon being the eldest. This totalled the amount of children living in the house to five, and Algernon was the only male. His sisters were: Millie, Illumina, Onina, Kaycee, and Drapt. His mother, Sara, eventually needed money to buy her medicine, using it as a temporary getaway from the fact she was such a horrible parent. And so, she eventually sold her children to someone for money, or to get herself something. Kaycee for a bottle of beer, Onina into slavery, Millie as a maid, and Illumna to a man, claiming he had to use her for secret tasks.
Drapt and Algernon were the only two that remained, and after a while, his mother sent Algernon and Gecko to a monk temple. She was either slightly sober, full on drunk, or drugged from painkillers when she did it, and Algernon doesn't know what became of Drapt, but promised her he'd come and get her, and that one day they'll meet again, even if in Heaven. And so, they were sent off to the temple, where he learned and worked under the strict rules of the sacred and holy place. The people there did not treat him any differently from those who could see, and this explains why he is sometimes reffered to being 'an angel on Earth', which is the reward for being a monk.
After four years, he became aware of the ghost of his younger self following him, and, during a special meeting, had accidently used his power to remove a soul from one of the other monk's body. However, he was able to return it, but was sent to a special school for people with such powers. With that, he headed out with Gecko, his ghost companion, and his few belonging's from the past, and was sent away, the monks who had become his family hoping for a better future.
Also, Algernon is a Soothsayer...
Soothsayer: a person who claims to speak sooth, specifically one who predicts the future based upon personal, political, spiritual, or religious beliefs rather than scientific facts.
Sooth: an archaic word that, according to the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, may refer to one of the following:
