Personality: Chris is not your typical kid, He has had quite a few problems in his life that weigh heavy on his heart. He's very quiet and nervous around people he doesn't know, But once you break through his outer shell he's quite talkative. Despite not trusting strangers he always tries to be courteous and polite to those around him, Even if he doesn't like you he will bite his tongue and keep quiet. He's very self-reliant, Chris feels like if he ever relies on another person they will disappoint him when it really matters. When under pressure Chris tends to lose control of his temper and will turn much darker and cynical but also finds it much harder to make smart choices. Chris also likes to be on his own quite a bit, he prefers to sit down and draw or listen to music than be in a large group of people, But when he's with a group of friends he likes to quietly sit and watch them talk rather than being the center of attention.

History: The early years of Chris's life were like that of a dream, He lived in a big house, had both of parents who loved him very much and a faithful dog named Bucky, until the night of his mother's 26th birthday when everything came crashing around him. The night started off innocent enough, the family went out for pizza and bowling, but upon returning home they found the front door of there house kicked open. Chris was told to wait in the car while him and his mother went to check it out.

After waiting several minutes Chris couldn't wait any longer so he snuck up to the house, As he stood in the doorway he saw a man standing over both his mom and dad, the masked man was holding a blood covered machete, and in his other hand Bucky's severed head. Luckily for Chris the man never saw him as he rushed out of the back door, Chris called the police but was informed there was a robbery down town and a officer would get there as soon as possible. After about a hour and half the cops finally arrived instantly spotting the dead bodies in the hallway and finding Chris sitting in the living room just staring at the wall.

For the next year and a half he was bounced around foster home from foster home, It wasn't that he was bad that no one wanted him to stay, it was the fact he never talked no matter how hard people tried. It wasn't until he arrived at the foster home of a older lady that Chris finally stopped moving around, something about this woman reminded him of his mother, At first he hated her for this but eventually he broke down one day and cried for the first time since the incident.

Over time he came to love this woman like she was his own mother, She home schooled him teaching him to read and write, plus how to act like a proper young gentleman. Chris quickly surpassed the woman mentally and began heading to the library every day to find new books to read in order to keep his mind stimulated. Digging through the occult section Chris found a old leather bound rather beaten up looking book, The moment he opened this book everything in his life changed.

In a swirling vortex of black and red lights Chris emerged in a small room with a large elderly man sitting in the corner, Shocked and unaware of what was going on Chris demanded the man tell him what was going on. In a booming voice the man replied "I will give you great power at a great price, Chosen one." Not sure what any of this meant or if any of it was even real Chris accepted without thinking about it.

Suddenly he was back in the library holding the old book, As he reopened it all of the pages were empty except for in the very back was a picture of him and his family when they were all still alive. Rushing home Chris noticed a large crowd of people on his block, pushing through the crowd he saw the police car and ambulance, asking one of the people in the crowd what happened he discovered the woman he lived with had died.

Chris ran for what felt like days he had no idea where he was running or where to turn so he just ran and ran. When he eventually stopped he found himself outside of a T.v. store where there was a news report on a popular hero known as The Black Knight, something about the idea of this hero made Chris know he had to find him. So now he wanders the USA with the little money he makes from doing various odd jobs, searching for his new found hero.

Powers: Anything Chris holds onto becomes surrounded with a magic aura, turning it into a powerful weapon.

Power Grid:

Alright, read over everything. No real problems with the application, and it's a good one, I like his personality. The power is simple enough, seems fair and pretty unique so it's perfectly fine to me. Just mention that the aura only works as long as you maintain physical contact with the weapon.

Pretty nice picture, only thing is it might be difficult to age up with; got any ideas what he'll look like a few years from now? And the kid is a little short, but that's not a big deal.

What color would you like for your grid?

I got sick of looking through pictures so I just threw this one up, but I have a general idea of how he will look as he ages. Could you do a simple black and gray for my grid?

There ya' go. Approved.
