Well, look at this. A chance to revive my voidlight academy character. Just a moment.
~~Twilight Academy Student Contract~~
I, Edwinn Richter 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: Edwinn Richter
Age: 16
Power: Superior reflexes, kinetomancy.
Specialty: combat
Short Self-Description (For Identification Purposes): A male teenager who has an unusually large frame, being almost as large as a fully-grown man, and is much heavier even than he looks. His very long brown hair is frizzy and messy, and doesn't stay groomed for long. He is visibly fat, with the occasional bulge of solid muscle being visible in less marbled areas. His skin is pale white and he basically never wears anything but extremely casual clothing, including sweat pants, tee shirts and, when it's not hot out, hoodies. His face almost perpetually bears a bored or mildly amused expression, which only changes beyond those two expressions when he is very distressed, or very excited. He often wears a pair of leather gloves and a set of light leather armor (both of which he made himself) when prepared for combat, and is nowhere without his handheld gaming console.
Short History (For Records): Edwinn lived a mostly average and - dare I say - boring life for about 13 years in Dapleice, one of the least noteworthy countries in the world. After 13 years, however, Edwinn wound up lost deep in a forest in a camping trip gone horribly wrong, and after wandering aimlessly for nearly a day, stumbled upon a powerful font of magical energy. He accidentally fell in almost immediately. However, instead of being torn apart by the energies, his body absorbed the great amounts of magic surging through it, which resulted in an increase in strength and a massive increase in reflexes, which was quickly followed by some very fruitful agility training. This also, interestingly, made him much, MUCH heavier - He now weighs well over 300 pounds.
After this incident, he noticed that there was an odd energy that would keep on building in his chest, and he discovered by accident soon after that this was some form of magical energy which he could use to alter the motion and momentum of himself and objects he touched; and that this "kinetomancy" was capable of smashing a handheld gaming system with a very tough case to smithereens. During the weeks that the device was being repaired, his boredom lead him to taking up the hobbies of cooking, inventing a martial art which involves applied kinetomancy, a bit of leatherwork, and later (when he could tear himself away from his screen) beating the snot out of random lowlifes. Eventually - and not even he is sure how - he caught wind of Twilight academy, and despite the fact that he had utterly blown off his education for the past few years of slowly becoming a badass, he considered this school of magic using badasses to be right up his alley, and hastily applied.
Notable personal belongings:
1 Handheld gaming system, with several handy apps and a VERY protective case.
2 homemade leather fighting gloves, with studded knuckles.
1 set of homemade leather armor (chest and pants)
1 Backpack containing various school supplies, plenty of snacks, travel games, and cables and accessories for the handheld console.

Martial art techniques: [Currently basic descriptions, to be fleshed out later with counseling from more experienced game balancers]
Forceful palm - Edwinn lunges forward and puts all his weight into a single palm strike, disrupting the target's momentum in a burst of energy, throwing into the air and launching them backwards.
Dance of death - Edwinn focuses his energy and becomes a blur of motion, constantly shifting his momentum to furiously attack with a vicious multitude of strikes which can target multiple opponents.
Feint attack - Edwinn launches a false attack, then completely shifts the motion of the strike into a completely different attack targeted elsewhere, completely weaving around the defenses of all but the quickest foes.
Iron wall - Edwinn enters a defensive stance, preparing to weave around attacks by shifting his own momentum, or to stop incoming attacks by canceling their momentum; It's very difficult to bypass this defensive technique.
Juggernaut punch - Edwinn spends an inordinate amount of time winding up for a strike, charging his energy the whole time then launches himself at an enemy for a single devastating high-velocity attack which can carry him over a fair distance, but uses a ton of energy and can leave Edwinn exhausted for a short time afterwards.
Whoo, that took longer than I expected to create. So, I'll be honest, it's late and I have a short attention span, I didn't read much other than the original post in this thread. I'll be sure to expand my knowledge later.
