.:Character Details

Name: Taima Sani
Age: 16
Date of Birth: April 14th
Gender: Male
Hometown: Canistota, South Dakota
Student/Teacher: Student
Abilities: Taima can manipulate the weather to his will, so long as he can see the area he wants to manipulate. This can lead to some interesting attacks, such as a thunder spear or ice arrow storm. Moving air under his body gives him the ability to float, and his weather abilities allow him to imbue items, such as weaponry, with effects. They could be a lightning sword, to a wind spear, and then some. He has been trained to be adept in a few styles of martial arts and almost all weaponry. Taima also has warping capabilities, which are limited in use due to the stress it puts on his body since he has not mastered the ability. The longer the distance, the more strain, and multiple warps have the same effect as going long distances. He can warp other objects to him as well, but as with warping himself, it takes a lot out of him. But with smaller objects, it's not much of a problem, so long as he knows where the object is. He can't warp objects to him if he has no idea of where it is. His spiritual sense is also very keen, and comes in handy every now and again.

General Appearance: Taima's body is tall, being 6'2", but at the same time is broad, giving him a long reach with his arms. Being fully Native American, Taima's skin has a tanned complexion all the time. His hair is long in his opinion, but in reality it only goes down to his shoulders, and he keeps his facial hair to a minimum. He has some scars on his body, mostly on his torso, from not-so-wonderful childhood memories. His body is in a muscular, but toned figure from the hours of training and workouts that he has done throughout his life. His face gives away his Native American descent most of all, with the high cheekbones and other facial features associated with his people. Taima's eyes are full of life, as he always wants to give the impression of being cheerful, though every once in a while they do show the emotions within his psyche. He is a naturally warm person, so he doesn't worry about keeping warm too much. Often dressing in a casual, jeans and a t-shirt are all he needs to be set for the day.

.:Family Details

Mother's Name: Shima Sani
Father's Name: Kele Sani
Brothers/Sisters: None

.:Background and Personality

Personality: Taima has a cool and detached exterior that often hides the rolling emotions that swirl within his mind. Having an extreme temper, he controls that most of all. He likes to help whenever possible, especially if it helps his position in the long run. If he can't get it by being sweet, he'll manipulate the people around him until he gets the desired result. To his friends, he shows the utmost compassion, and even some to his enemies when needed. Enjoys being the middle-man, the person in the background controlling the strings.

Stubborn at times, yet if swayed will defend the position to his utmost ability. Enjoys a good argument, especially in intelligent manners, and complains about anything he deems unreasonable in his mind. He's a flirt, but knows when and when not to show that side of himself. Can be a smartass, especially when he's around his friends. Considers himself one of the laziest people he knows, unless he enjoys what he is doing, which in that case he goes at it with everything he's got.

History: Born to Shima and Kele Sani, Taima grew up among the Native Americans. Even as a baby, the weather seemed to change depending on his mood. Thunder when angry, rain when he was sad, or sunshine when he was happy, his parents soon realized he was a little different than the other kids, and became afraid of what he could do. As a young boy, he had very little emotional control, and the children used to attack him for being the freak of the tribe, giving him the scars on his body that he would carry for life. While this often just led to rain following him, one day Taima snapped at the children. In his rage, Taima called down thunder and hail as he attacked the other kids for the constant torments that had plagued him. In the end, many were injured, some severely, but none were killed. Taima's ability wasn't that controlled at the time. So the teacher's decided, along with the rest of the town, that Taima would get classes away from the rest of the children. This suited him just fine, for Taima enjoyed studying on his own. In self-defense, he began to teach himself how to control his abilities, and over time also found his ability to warp, which he still only uses when absolutely necessary. As the years went on, he became more and more alienated from his people for they still did not trust him, even after he gained control of his abilities. While he had grown sick of it to begin with, he had trekked through it in the hopes that one day the townsfolk would accept him.

Seeing as that would never happen, at the age of twelve, he left his family to go searching for a place to call his home, for he was sick of the repulsion he felt from everyone around him. He first went and studied under martial arts masters and weapons specialists. While Taima could never stay in one style for too long, since he became bored quickly, he learned many different styles adequately enough to suit his needs. Alongside the physical training was the training of his warping and weather powers. After many miscalculations, and a few bewildered townsfolk around the area's of his training, Taima gained mastery of his weather ability, though he never gained full mastery of his warping. This took four years of his life, but he felt it was necessary to get it out of the way while he was young. Now at 16, he feels that he has learned as much about his abilities and talents as he can by himself, and decides to come to this jump in the energy, where for the past few years he has sensed a congregation of people with talents similar to his own. Maybe he'll actually meet someone with some skills he could pick up... or not.

Sample Post: "Well, I guess that's as much as I can do here," said Taima one warm Sunday afternoon in mid-February. "Four years of constant training by myself and with my instructors should suit my needs for the time being. Any more training and I think I'll go ballistic." Looking up into the sky, Taima gets a slight chill, and decides it needs to be a little bit warmer, so he kicks up the temperature by a few degrees. "So let's see, where should I head off to next? South America? Nah, been there already. Europe? Not worth the effort right now." As Taima pondered this, he noticed that odd ball of energy that's crossed his senses every now and again over the past few years. "I guess I COULD go there, but I don't know if I'll be very welcome." He begins to pace, mumbling to himself about his other options. "Guess that's my best option. Go where the energy is, and see who's making all that racket. If anything, at least it'll be a change of scenery." And with that, Taima warps off to the energy spike, ready for something new and possibly interesting.

The history's kind of short for someone who's had sixteen years of his life go by, but I'll let it slide just this once.

Make sure to meet the minimum requirement of words per post when you're rping in character!

Thanks. :]
