Kirk Morrowik
FACE CLAIM: Grey Damon
---------------------------------
AGE: 19
GENDER: Male
ORIENTATION: Awkward is the only way to describe him and romance
POSITION: College Student
POWER: Light Constructs and Illusions
Has the ability to “harden light” and create constructs such as gauntlets, a book, a rock, or similar objects that are solid. Essentially condenses molecules of light so much that they achieve solid form. These constructs can be felt much like a solid object and can have a toughness ranging from the level of concentration and energy put into creating them. For example: If he focuses on creating only one dense gauntlet, he can make it as hard as steel. Unlike illusions, these constructs do not vanish on touch. Extremely bright light makes it easier for him to harden it into a construct of choice.
Has the ability to manipulate light to create illusions that do not have solid form and can be passed through. He essentially bends the light as he pleases to create a shape and give it form to be seen. These illusions can have much more detail than the constructs he can create, but they can't do any damage. If he makes the illusion of a book, someone's hand will pass right through it and dispel the illusion by disrupting it. Illusions also lack anything pertaining to the other four senses. For example: can create a flower but there is no scent to it, or make a fire but there is no heat. Illusions can be dispelled with very bright light as well. They also have a slightly shimmery look to them that can betray them as an illusion if someone looks for it. In brighter light, the illusions also gain even more of a shiny/shimmery quality to them to more easily identify them as fake.
Both abilities depend on light and his mind: without light or concentration he can't use them.
LIMITATIONS:
Both abilities require concentration and depend on his mind and creativity
Can't create light, therefore cannot use powers in complete darkness to make light. Light needs to be already existing
Cannot make large constructs. Currently limited to smaller constructs like his gauntlets or long yet thin ones like his spear staff
Constructs do not have a great amount of intricate detail, as it takes too much energy and tires him quickly
Can create larger illusions, such as changing his own appearance, but these tire him out very quickly, and currently he can only last 15-20 minutes before his more severe side-effects come into play
Constructs last much longer if they are touching him (30 minutes depending on size). Can also continue to exist if they aren't touching him, like his spear, but for a much shorter time (10 minutes if he really strains himself). This is because he still has to focus on it's existence and it's harder when the object is not immediately near him. If he does not focus on them, they fade away
Illusions have higher detail than constructs, but no physical form to feel
Illusions usually tend to last around 30 minutes or more depending on their simplicity/complexity, the size or amount, and the amount of focus put into them. For example: an illusion of a stone could last for a very long time, while an illusion of an intricate throne or something similar in size and detail could only last a little while (closer to 15 minutes depending on his focus)
Can't make many constructs at once, and usually when multiple are made they are the exact same object. Trying to make multiple different kinds of constructs puts too much staring on him. Currently limited to 3-5 constructs at max depending on the size (5-ish for tiny rocks, 3-ish for books)
Can make more illusions than constructs (5-10 max varying on detail and size) and can make them different objects more easily. However this is still currently hard for him to do
Illusions can be dispelled once someone touches them. Also tend to have a slightly shiny aspect to them that can betray them as illusions
Illusions only affect sight, and do not do anything to the other four senses (can't feel, taste, hear, or smell them)
Illusions can be dispelled in extremely bright light
Both constructs and the illusions require light to work, so they can't be made in pure darkness
Can bend both pure and artificial light, but pure is better
Darkness makes him weaker, so the less light the less energy he has and the more vulnerable he is. Complete darkness less him practically helpless
SIDE-EFFECTS:
Head Aches
Shaking
Intense sweating
Dizziness
Ragged Breathing
Exhaustion
Loss of Consciousness
Blurry Vison/Complete Blackout
HEIGHT: 6'2"
HAIR COLOR: Brunette
EYE COLOR: Green
MISC: Has kind of broad shoulders and is in shape, but does not have massive rippling muscles or anything crazy like that. Has a tattoo of a butterfly on his left shoulder blade. Wears whatever is comfortable, but has a particular love for flannel/plaid shirts and V-necks with or without fun logos. Usually wears glasses and always has a dog-tag necklace on.
PERSONALITY: Is a self-appointed dork. Has a very easy-going nature with a tendency to be extremely clumsy. Also has a habit of botching first impressions by falling flat on his face or doing something else fail-worthy. However, usually continues to look on the bright side of life regardless even if he comes into class with his shirt on backwards and his fly down. Can easily kid around too, and has a mixed sense of humor.
Can come off as lazy occasionally due to his laid back nature. However, has a love of fighting games and fighting in general. Yet has a hatred for verbal conflict. Loves to sleep or watch animation (movies, shows, etc.). Loves comics. Has an appreciation for old-time music (40s).
Andy in comparison, is sarcastic and mean. Has no filter, and constantly pokes fun at Kirk. Has the habit of bantering and teasing Kirk when he talks with another person, distracting him. Only goes silent during random periods, and can't be controlled by Kirk for the most part. Medications help quiet him to a degree.
SECRETS (Sort of):
Got his butterfly tattoo from his sisters who won a bet against him.
The dog-tags around his neck belonged to his grandfather.
Still goes to kid's movies because he loves animation and he loves the stories.
FATHER: James "JJ", Morrowik
MOTHER: Natalie, Morrowik
SIBLINGS: Trisha (22), Becky (17), Chloe (17)
WORTHY MENTIONS:
Had a pet Rottweiler named "Chuckles"
Dr. Zowsoki diagnosed Kirk
CHILDHOOD: Alright then. I guess my Diary should also know a bit about my childhood. I'm the second oldest out of four kids. All my siblings are girls. Go figure. Trisha's the oldest and then Becky and Chloe are younger and the same age. They're twins. My childhood was good. I was born mute, so that posed a bit of a problem. My parents and siblings didn't treat me any different.I just took the strong silent type to a literal level I guess.
We moved around a lot due to my dad's job. I was born in America, but I spent a good deal (probably half) out of it. I got used to it though. It wasn't too bad. I had my sisters and my mom and pop, so it was ok. My sisters could be annoying at times, but they were cool.
I should mention Andy. He came in around age 6 or something. Real nastyassholejerk. I got used to him though, and my parents just thought I had an imaginary friend who was rebellious and sassy.
ADOLESCENCE: My teen years were pretty much the same. Moving a lot and all that good stuff. Andy was there too, and eventually it got my mom and pop a little worried that I still heard my "imaginary friend" at age twelve. We went to see a friend of my mother, who was a doctor. Apparently I had a mental disorder or something. Dr. Zowsoki, the doctor, asked a bunch of questions about Andy. If he made me do anything bad or not. Andy never did, he would just tease me and stuff likean assholea brother. I told the doctor as much, and he seemed relieved. They still put me on medications and monitored me. I was fine though.
Then we found out I was a mutant. It was crazy. I "manifested" (Which is what the real term is I think) when I was around 15 or so. My parents were a little freaked out, but they accepted it. If they could accept Andy, it wouldn't be that hard to accept the mutant thing too. My sisters thought it was awesome. They tried making me use it, but I was reallyshittybad at using it at first. Eventually these people came to take me to this school for mutants or something. It was about 15 days after I learned I could do fancyshitstuff with light. I have no idea how they found me.Maybe they've got some all-seeing orb to see when this stuff happensSince we were in Japan at the time, I had to go to that one. It was really weird. I'm glad I was mute so I didn't have to learn the language. It sounds hardas fuckto learn.
Eventually my dad had to move again and asked the school is there was another one I could transfer to. There was, so I got switched to St. Bethany's so my family was still close. Both schools really helped me with my weird light powers. If I had to pick, I liked Sainō better. Everyone worked together more and it felt like a big family or something. St. Bethany's was ok, but I didn't get along as well with the kids. Lots of them didn't talk to me just because i was mute.I say screw themGo figure.
On a side note my sister got into Oxford.Who knew Trisha could be smartI always thought she'd go big like that.
ADULTHOOD: Not much to write here, to be honest. I trained at St. Bethany's for a while before my dad had to move again, and this time back to America. We asked for a transfer again and got it. My Dr. Z also talked with the academy apparently to set me all up there too. Had to warn them about Andy and all that. So now I guess I'm coming back to the motherland or something. Woohoo.
I'm just hoping it's better than St. Bethany's. Some of the people there arereal shit-headsnot nice. Sometimes I feel like they kind of just took me in since I was a mutant and they had no choice. A lot of the kids there are super preppy. Some come from these big families with a ton of money and stuff. I'm just the dork son of a dork dad who does something with cars. Nothing flashy.Andy says to just screw them and their money, they can go to hellAndy doesn't like them either, so we sort of agree for once. That's probably important to write down, since this is to keep track of him and all. Yeah, Andy and me are getting along. Probably important for my Diary to know.
I heard Bellefonte's a lot like St. B's though.In that case I'm screwedI hope not. At least it's home though, or close enough. I think my dad'sbrainwashed metrained me to think of home as where your friends and family are. I don't really have a set home, but that's ok. I've got a few friendseven though Chloe says I don'tGood enough for me. I don't need to be popular. That kind of attention seemsshittystupid. I don't want to turn out to be one of those melodramatic boys in those teenage drama series everyone seems to watch.Seriously why the hell do people watch those? They just seem so stupid and pointless. Why would I want to watch a show about high school when I've already gone to high school? High school sucks.
SAMPLE:Dear… Well I guess it’s not really a diary as much as a info sheet or whatever you call it. My doctor says it’s just something I have to fill out so they have some kind of basis if I ever go off the deep end or something. I’m still going to call it a diary because that’s what it feels like. And I’ve already wasted a ton of space and I can’t erase since it’s in pen, so I should get started.
Dear Diary,
Hi. I’ve never written one of these before, so this is really weird. My name is Kirk. I guess my Diary should know that. I come from a family with three sisters, and I've lived everywhere I’m pretty sure. My dad sort of works for a car company or something and they move him around a lot for some reason. I never really paid much attention to exactly what it was he did. Something with cars but not the actual car.
But I should probably move on. So if this is all to sort of set a standard in case I go crazy, I want to put down that I love my sisters right now while I’m still “sane.” Trisha is the only one that’s older then me, and Becky and Chloe are younger. They’re twins too. Apparently it runs through our family or something. Anyways, I love all three of themeven though Becky always eats all the cereal when she’s studying so I don’t have any.I mean we’re all kind of goofy, and I blame our parents for that because they’re goofy too.
Speaking Writing of parents, I love my mom and dad. My mom’s really cool. So much cooler than my dad. It’s a running joke how my dorky dad managed to get her to marry him. My sisters made this whole conspiracy theory that my dad somehow brainwashed her or made a deal with her to marry him. She’s awesome and I love her a ton. Same with my dad, only he’s not cool like mom. He’s a huge dork, so I blame him for every ounce of my own dorkiness. Still I love him to death, especially because he would always do all my crazy ideas without missing a beat. Like the one time when I was a kid and I wanted a pool, but we didn’t have one. But then my dad got a tarp and laid it out in the back of his truck to seal all the cracks and filled the thing with water just to make me a pool.
Now about me. The reason I’m writing this is because I have this mental disorder sort of.Well not sort of because there’s no sort of with this kind of thing.I have this other sort of personality/voice thing in my head. I call it Andy and he’sa real pain in the assreal sarcastic and everything. He doesn’t do much other than annoy me and make a lot of little comments about stuff I do. He’s harmless. The only thing he’s hurt is my dignity and sometimes makes me look crazy. I sometimes make faces when I talk to him. It's embarrassing.
They first found out aboutitAndy when my dad noticed I would talk to someone who wasn’t there when I was 6 or something. He thought it was just an imaginary friend like most kids get, but it kept going until I was 12, so eventually we went and saw someone. Then it turned out I had something wrong in the head and all, but so far they aren’t too worried since Andy’s never really done anything wrong. He’s never been aggressive or whatever, although they still make me take medications. The main reason I have to write this is because they want to monitor how I feel and everything in case that ever changes.
While we’re on the topic of me, I’m also a mute. Was born like that, and it made learning pretty hard. At least in terms of finding schools and stuff. I learned sign language and all, and apparently I have a really expressive face according to my sisters so I can sort of get my point across.
I’m also a mutant as it turns out. I can make these “constructs” out of light, which is really cool. I can also make these illusions and stuff. Only small things for both of them though. I like making gauntlets most of all because I always loved hand-to-hand fighting in video games since it looked cool, but I also can use something like a spear staff. Although neither are really detailed because it makes me super tired if I try to impress someone by making it fancy. The illusions can be a lot more detailed and not look kind of like cartoons since I don’t have to make them all solid and stuff.
I got these powers (I think they call it “manifesting” or something) when I was around 15 and I scared Trisha half to death by making some illusion. We were taking about cars since Chloe was just getting old enough to drive. I was kind of fooling around and pretended I was driving, and then a steering wheel appeared in my hand. It was crazy. After that I had to go to these special mutant schools. At first I had to go to Sainō because that’s where my dad was, but then I had to go to St. Bethany when my dad moved and brought me along. Apparently we’re going to move again to America, so I have to go to this other one called Bellefonte Academy now.
My doctor’s a little worried with how all the moving and stuff might be affecting me, but I’m ok I swear. It’ll be nice being back home in America. Maybe I’ll make some new friends and not come off as a total klutz. I have this bad habit of falling flat on my face every time for my first impression to anyone. It’s embarrassing, but I guess it defines me pretty well.
Anyways, I think that’s it. I’m taking up a few pages and I think the one lady is a little surprised by how long I’m making this, so I’m going to stop here. Thanks I guess, Diary. I might have to write in you again some time.
