attackdefensespeedutility“”Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen.NameBastian Alabaster VarnaeAge18GenderMaleSexualityHomosexual/HomoromanticAlignmentNeutral GoodBirthplaceSitka, AlaskaGodly ParentHecate (Legacy of Circe)Face ClaimZane PhilipsAppearanceBastian is most often quite scruffy in nature, with unkempt clothes and even wilder unkempt hair, though he does sometimes try to make an effort depending on the occasion. Not one for formalities much, or social cues for that matter, Bastian essentially doesn't care what someone else thinks of him or how he chooses to present himself. He's not there to please others. A baggy white shirt that has never seen an iron before? Sure, why not? Those jeans with holes of an unknown nature? Yeah, put them on. His frame can best be described as quite muscular, with an impressively structured body with no overly large muscles nor lean muscles. Bastian tries to maintain his physical fitness at times since he's always stuck up in his room doing god knows what, this is more an obligatory task because he needs to regularly maintain his physical health so his body can take the strain of using magic.PersonalityBastian gives an impression to all who meet him of total enigma and utter ominosity. Bastian is something of a gruff and aloof sort of person when he's not with his immediate inner circle of friends. He doesn't tend to be outgoing and often seems to be wearing a frown, which doesn't help open conversations with strangers. He tends to cherish his privacy and doesn't appreciate people poking their noses into his personal life.
He is defined by several overpowering personality traits, some of which are at direct odds with one another. What bridges all of it is his confidence. Bastian takes great pride in his ability to depend upon himself for just about anything, and never finds a situation too grim for hope. He's of the disposition to believe that anything can be overcome with sufficient know-how, and his wide variety of skills and resources only bolster this belief in himself. Nothing is ever impossible, and Bastian has very little time for anyone who disagrees.
He is also a very calm, determined individual when he wants something. He's not the type to explode into histrionics, or ever really let anyone get a good bead on how he's feeling -- stiff upper lip and all that. He can be stubborn, but only when he knows he's right, and frankly, he knows he's right 100 of the time. All the same, he's not the type to be goaded into a fight, what with cooler heads prevailing and all. Most attempts to bait him will fail. BackstoryHe was raised by his grandfather Franklin from the beginning. Christopher, his father, is an accomplished archaeologist who has traveled widely. Despite this, he continued to routinely write to his son, give him images of his latest finds, and even occasionally mail him a small fossil. Grandpa Franklin, who at the time was among New York's most well-known stage magicians, would frequently demonstrate to Bastian astounding magic acts like making cards and coins vanish, flowers change into balloons, and predicting numbers or names. The little youngster became fascinated by illusions and magic tricks as a result of this. Grandpa Franklin started training him when he was six years old, and before long, he could execute intricate tricks that would astound his schoolmates and teachers.
Bastian and his grandfather had a thoughtful chat when Bastian was twelve years old. They discussed the ancient Greek mythology that Bastian used to love so much. It was at that time that Franklin decided to reveal the cards: Bastian was a son of Greek goddess Hecate. At first, of course, the boy didn’t want to believe it but then grandpa showed him true magic - it wasn’t an illusion or sleigh-of-hand, it was actual sorcery. It turned out, grandpa Franklin was Hecate’s grandson and was using his abilities to shield himself and Bastian from monsters.
After revealing this to young Damien, his grandfather began tutoring Bastian in the ways of sorcery and mysticism. Thanks to Damien's Eidetic Memory, he learned and practiced what ought to have taken him years in just a few months. Bastian was therefore already proficient enough to compete with his older brethren who were far more seasoned and battle-hardened when the time finally arrived for him to depart for Camp Half-Blood. In addition to receiving combat training during his time at Camp Half-Blood, Bastian spent a lot of time alone in his room studying spell books and creating new ones as he went. He was therefore more than ready to live alone when he became 18 years old.
Bastian entered New York University in an effort to advance his career. He wanted to study in both graphic design and general medicine so he could choose between being a surgeon or a graphic designer. Bastian was preparing for an exam on his laptop one late afternoon at a cafe when he came across a Reddit post that immediately caught his eye. At first, he thought it was sketching, but something compelled him to at least look at it. And he did.ParaphernaliaIuliusIulius is a spear crafted by Bastian during his time in Camp Half Blood, having been forged using Imperial Gold, Celestial Bronze, Stygian Iron, and Adamantine, the spear "hums" with magic and carries an aura of power that doenst go unnoticed. Laced with runes from its tip down to the base, it's heavily enchanted that took days to complete. Because it is made of Celestial Bronze, Imperial Gold, and Stygian Iron, it is capable of physically harming mortals, demigods, and monsters alike, making it very hazardous. Using his abilities as Hecate's son, Bastian can channel magical energy through the spear, striking whomever he aims it at. It can also be used as a regular spear and was often his weapon of choice along with his bands.
Bracelets of DominionTwo specialized incredibly durable arm enclosing vambraces that Bastian wears, in order to compensate for his vulnerability to sharp objects and bullets. Bastian wears them on his wrists, and they can nearly deflect all incoming melee and ranged strikes. It has the unique capacity to absorb energy and transform it into magical energy that can be stored for later use because it was manufactured using Adamantine. As a result, it can function as a kind of battery for Damien, drawing on the magical energy reserve he has accumulated for times when he is depleted and unable to cast spells. Due to his powers as a demigod, he also has the ability to create a massive wave of magical energy outwards when he clashes them together.
Greek FireIt was an actual weapon used by the Byzantine Empire, which controlled Greece since 672 and soon before the Fall of Constantinople. Greek fire was a very dangerous weapon for the mortals that used it, and for the enemies. There were two types of Greek fire. The first one was a mixture of chemicals. The second was made by reflecting light off many polished shields (metal) or mirrors. Archimedes was the one who supposedly made Greek fire with mirrors. The chemical Greek fire was a lot more dangerous to make. Bastian however, found the ingredients to make Greek Fire and carries a small pouch that has vials of a green liquid that can start Greek Fire. He even possesses a green-tinted gunpowder version with him too, coating his hands in it, he could manipulate Greek Fire as he likes. AbilitiesMystiokinesisAs a son of Hecate, he can cast and perform powerful magic and spells. He is capable of performing powerful spells and using this ability he has the power to invent his own spells, just by visualizing what he wants the spell to do, and by making his own incantation.
- Magi-Ergokinesis: Bastian can create, shape, absorb or manipulate magical energy without weaving a spell. Through this mystic energy, he can transmute magic for a variety of effects and purposes, including obtaining magical powers from external and internal sources, yielding upstanding results in his magical practices. He can even invoke other forms of energies for specific forms of magic that require said necessary energies to empower his spells. He has the ability to fire an intense concussive beam of magical energy. The ability can also be focused into small magical bullets, which have better range but are less damaging than a beam. He is also able to create a protective dome of magical energy around them for a short time.
CharmspeakBastian has the ability of charmspeak, which allows him to influence others with enhanced vocal persuasiveness. While this isn't on the level of a trained Child of Aphrodite, he can still do much with this ability. He can continue training in this ability and become stronger in it, such as when Medea, who isn't a child of Aphrodite was able to overwhelm one with her Charmspeaking.
TelekinesisBastian has the ability of telekinesis, able to move objects and persons with just thought alone. Because of the lack of training in this ability, he doesn't possess much precision with it and can only move moderately heavy objects and multiple small objects at the same time.
Mist & Death Mist ControlAs a son of Hecate, he can control the Mist. This ability means he is able to use the Mist to alter mortals' memories and perceptions, also he can use it to summon a 'Mistform' and his spear and other equipment. This ability includes the following:
However, he can not only manipulate Mist but he can also manipulate its counterpart, the Death Mist; a supernatural force, similar to the Mist but actually works backwards. It shrouds demigods and mortals from the presence of monsters.
- He can create illusions.
- He can create false memories.
- He can make monsters invisible or have them be seen as something else.
- He can hide locations.
- He can summon Mistforms.
- He can disguise and hide people.
- He can disguise and hide objects.
- He can influence the minds of mortals.
- He can teleport through the Mist.
Nigh-Absolute StaminaBastian can perform extremely strenuous activities/actions for days, weeks or months without tiring. This also covers his spell casting and is able to cast powerful energy-draining spells and still possess the necessary energy to fight in combat or move effectively
UmbrakinesisHe has the ability to mentally generate and manipulate darkness, the absence of light. With this ability can even deactivate and repulse or travel through shadows. And can also absorb and dissipate it as well.
- Bastian can Shadow Travel, though he can't jump as far as children of Hades. (Of the few children of Hecate that Shadow Travel, he doesn't get physically drained and exhausted if he does it at night no matter how long or far the jump. However, if he Shadow Travel during the day he can get tired like most demigods who Shadow Travel at any time.)
NecromancyBastian has the power of necromancy (manipulating the dead), since his mother is associated with it, however, he cannot bring people back from the dead. SkillsAlchemy & Potion MakingBastian is quit profcient wth this, able to change one state of matter the next and transmuatte matter as well as mixing esoteric compoeenbts to make herbs and objects for use. Bastian used this to make the materials used to make Greek Fire. He is also highly skilled in making potions. He is able to make magical potions that range from healing any disease to manipulating memories.
Magical ManufacturingBastian has the ability to create objects that possess mystical properties or enchant already existing objects with mystical properties - he can also do this by drawing runes and symbols of power on said objects that imbue them with magical energy.
Martial Arts and Spear ProficenyHaving been trained in Camp Half Blood, Bastian is an adept martial artist and is able to integrate his magical abilities into his fighting style, creating a fighting style unique only to him and can transition to other forms of martial arts in combat. Complimenting his combat skills is his proficiency with polearm weaponry, especially spears.
