~~Twilight Academy Student Contract~~
I,
Lorenzo Augustus Taliare ,hereby declare my intent to attend Twilight Academy. I swear upon my life to speak not a word of it to any person, being, or spirit not of the Academy, and to uphold its laws and tenants to the best of my ability. I also attest that all of the following is true and accurate, and that I am not omitting any information from the Academy within this Contract. I understand that the Twilight Academy is concerned with ability, not morality, and that any criminal past is not a bar to entry, but I will be expected to refrain from acts which might reveal Twilight Academy to the public, including being caught breaking any federal laws or using my powers before any person not privy to this information already.
Applicant's Name: Lorenzo Augustus Taliare
Aliases: "L.T." "Daikaiju" "Greased Lightning"
Age: 17
Power: Body Modification/Transformation, Minor Precognition
Specialty: Combat
Short Self-Description (For Identification Purposes): The most outstanding feature of L.T.'s physique is his muscularity, as if every ounce of body fat on his person had been forced to flee his figure at some point. Every ounce of Lorenzo, from his biceps/triceps/traps/pecs, to his abdomen and obliques, down to his thighs and glutes all appear to like a production of a master artisan. Perhaps this is true, if one sees their own body as a canvas and the gym as a conglomeration of tools in an artist's studio. His height and size cause him to tower over your average human. His shoulders are adorned with tattoo ink, the images concealed unless L.T. goes sleeveless.
L.T.'s eyes are a deep brown, his pupils larger than average, as if he is perpetually in a state of excitement. All of his facial hair, concerning eyebrows, mustache and beard, are all kept kempt and orderly. His hair is short and black, with one straight cut at the top of his hairline, a style aiming to look clean and professional. His skin is a deep bronze, just dark enough to conceal the bruises and scars on his body accumulated from years of Football.
Short History (For Records): Lorenzo Augustus Taliare was born seventeen years ago in the slums of the State of Gloria within the United Federation of Democratic States. Lorenzo was the second son of Constantine and Denise Taliare, a shipyard dispatcher and elementary school teacher respectively. Lorenzo's parents regarded him as a troublemaker in his youth, and fearing that he would fall victim to the toxic elements of his surroundings, encouraged him to focus his energy into athletics. Originally this was Baseball, but by the time Lorenzo was in middle school, he had switched over to playing Football. Football is not only the most popular sport in the U.F.D.S., it's importance transcends race, class, and even religion in its culture importance, a kind of hegemonic passion unseen in many countries.
L.T. became a dominant Football player in high school, where he earned the monikers of "Daikaiju" for his ferocious strength and "Greased Lightning" for his ludicrous speed. Coaches and players speculated that L.T. possessed paranormal psychological abilities, as it seemed he was always a second ahead of everyone else on recognizing and nullifying the strategies and tactics of opposing teams. With the Football Class choice of Linebacker, L.T. has tied the all-time Gloria Record for Quarterback Sacks and set the Record for Interceptions. Despite his marvelous Football performance, L.T.'s off-the-field antics were less lionized. The star Linebacker frequently cut classes at Lawton Academy where he attended, and when he did go to school he was regularly involved in physical and verbal altercations. Many of his peers stated that L.T.'s ambition, confidence and charm was offset by his belligerence, arrogance and temper. Once L.T. started racking up a felony rap sheet, he was kicked off the football team before the start of his junior year. Due to his criminal charges, his attempts to transfer to other prestigious schools in the U.F.D.S. were rejected. Finally, one school that had a reputation (or in the eyes of some, notoriety) for overlooking the past criminal misdeeds of applicants in light of potential ability welcomed him with open arms.

MAG: 4
END: 6
AGI: 8
SPI: 3
Transformations: [These are just basic descriptions of his current transformations, expect them to be fleshed out further when more intricate combat systems are applied and explained in the game.]
Vanguard - Used when L.T. has to catch and tackle an agile football player who is running with the football. Increases AGI and STR.
Blitzkrieg - Used when L.T. has to explode through the Linemen who are larger and sturdier than he is, so that he can assault the defenseless Quarterback with reckless abandon before a proper strategy can get underway. Greatly increases AGI and STR at the cost of lowered END and being overall more vulnerable to attack.
Paladin - Used when L.T. has to keep up with a dexterous and powerful Wide Receiver who is trying to catch a pass. Increases AGI and general resistance to magical attacks.
Breakthrough - Used when L.T. senses an opportunity to turn the entire tide of a game/battle. Instead of attacking a specific player, he focuses completely on the Quarterback and utilizes his Precognition to predict where the ball will be thrown. If successful, L.T. snatches the ball out of the air; suddenly the defensive team is offense and the previously offensive team is defense, throwing everyone's plans array and allowing L.T. to greatly take advantage of the pandamonious momentum switch. Lowers all Stats to raise Precognition, allowing L.T. to Intercept the Magic of an opponent and harness it for himself, turning it against the opposition. Possibly aids teammates as well.
National College Football Scouting Report:
Name: Lorenzo Augustus Taliare
Age: 17
Height: 6'4
Weight: 238
School: Lawton Academy
Class: Linebacker
Run Defense: 4.8/5
Pass Defense: 4.5/5
Blitz: 5/5
Pros: Exceptional all-around football player. Explosive, quick, powerful. Forces opposing teams to put 2, sometimes 3 players on him. Almost always wins one-on-one match ups against Offensive Linemen. High Football IQ, uncanny ability to predict Quarterback's next moves.
Cons: Prominent off-the-field issues, have to be fixed if he ever wants to get into college. Can get full of himself and overestimate his ability to read plays. Habit of going for Interceptions when he should be covering defenders, gives up big plays this way.
Prediction: Top 5 of Most Promising College Recruits, or Not Recruited if he doesn't get his act together.
It would break my heart if this kid doesn't get recruited by a top college. You guys have a reputation for handling cases like this, don't you? Please don't let me down. - J. McLeary, N.C.F.B. Scouting Director
