Artistry Animation : ability to bring his artwork to life and control at will
-Conditions for use:
1: Constructs based off anything preexisting must adhere to its specific functions in-universe. Anything created must adhere to some sort of principle, concept, rules or parameters and cannot just "do whatever"
2: The amount of time put into a "piece" of art determines the degree of capability
3: Underdeveloped "pieces" cannot match the full concept of its depiction, so he must decide on a simplified set of base factors for it to follow
4: He normally only manipulates a limited number of "pieces" at a time (initially 5-7), in order to reduce strain; subverted by anything he gives free will to
5: He is able to expedite the summoning process by creating shortcuts in the form of "sigils"/"seals" associated to a finished "piece". Use of this process allows for quick access to complicated "pieces" but places greater strain on him (ex. 1 shortcut=3 pieces)
6: Certain "seals" do not expedite, but allow access to special functions. These require more preparation time and strain and are in some way connected to the runes on his body
7: The magnitude of his power use determines the amount and speed of fatigue on the user
Enhanced Dexterity and Agility: gives the user precise control over his own body along with enhanced reflexes and speed
Targeting: Capable of encasing any object or projectile in an invisible aura that will cause the charged object, when set in motion, to home in on any target the user wishes.
-Conditions for use:
1: Projected object can't dodge obstructions, and will stop following the target if it is blocked by an obstacle.
Fighting Styles
Explanation: Idleweiss prefers to avoid conflict and his ranged style facilitates this. He can use his artwork as a means for escape or to entrap the opposition in elaborate strategies. When pitted directly against enemies, he relies more on creative improvisasion. The versatility of his powers combined with his quirky personality and a random blend of techniques and abilities aquired on his travels makes him an unpredictable opponent.
-Pros: Fighting indirectly allows him to end fights without incident and his abilities allow for quick escape. When "pieces" are properly set, he can micromanage the battlefield at range and in head to head battles. He can strike from various angles, which makes sneak attacks all the more potent. His creativity allows him to outsmart many a foe.
-Cons: Lack of information and wrong choice of "pieces" could both cause complications with strategies, which could create openings for the enemy. Improper management of powers and drawn out battles are cause for depleting stamina, making further power usage dangerous.
Group: Rogue
History
History: Elliot Idleweiss was born in Florance, Italy, but never stayed pinned down to a single spot. He saw the world with his parents and older sister Rosellia as traveling artists. He and his sister quickly grew into exceptional artists and were eventually pushed to further develop their talent abroad. But while Elliot obeyed his parents and traveled to America, his sister stood up to their parents for her own freedom to choose.
While studying abroad, strange runes began to appear on his body, which he hid out of fear and confusion. During his third year, he planned to take his usual trip to see his family, but before leaving out, he recieved a phone call from his family. The plane they took to their next tour spot was going down and they called to say goodbye.
As he buried his family, he mourned his sister the most. It was here that he decided to honor his sister, who lived her life as freely as she wished and live by her example. He placed a crane on each gravestone, each representing a wish. Then something miraculous happened. The cranes came to life and flew away. This was his first visible manifestation of power.
He began pursuing his own freedom, traveling the world again before returning to the states. He earned a following for his artwork, eccentric nature and his flexibility as a jack-of-all-trades, both publicly and in the underground. He hardly ever uses his first name and just goes by Idleweiss.
