Darren Felix Boreaux
Nickname:
âJust call me Darren- I donât really have a nickname. But then again, itâs up to you, I suppose.â
Age:
16
Sign:
âThe best Sign of all.â
Leo
Gender:
Male
Height:
175cm||5â7
Weight:
72kg||158lbs
Oddities:
⢠Scar|| This scar holds a traumatic memory for Darren. Not only does it warn him about his powers as a Zodiac, but also in the dangers and improbabilities of life. It shows him not only that he is not the master of his own future, but that he is a pawn within the large scheme of things- and that if something does not go his way, he cannot stop it from happening. This scar is a mark of shame, of powerlessness.
⢠Rarely ever smiles|| Darrenâs smiles are rather rare, though he tends to be extremely gregarious and kind. His personality doesnât show through his face, though- it shows through his actions. His face tends to be in a constant grimace or even a look of anger.
â Pyrokinesis -
A common ability amongst those born under the constellation of Leo, Darren started experimenting with his pyrokinetic abilities but a few weeks before he entered school. During this time period, however, Darren has self-taught and discovered some of the basics to his powers, though he is still much in loss as to how to control his powers to a larger extent. Currently, his powers are mainly limited to letting out jets of fire- he can sometimes manipulate them while concentrating hard on the jets he creates. A point of interest is that Darrenâs fire is larger- more powerful- than the fires of other members of the Leo constellation, and he has seen streaks of blue inside his fires.
-Electricity Manipulation | Lightning Manipulation-
Darren has only been able to do this once, and was only able to do so after a horrible accident that he himself has shoved to the back of his brain. However, only for that flash instant, as pain coursed through his body, Darren was able to redirect the electricity out of his body and into the air, causing flashes of blue lightning to light up in front of him before vanishing into the air. Since then- around two weeks ago- Darren has never been able to create electricity no matter what.
Lightning manipulation, or electricity manipulation, is a higher-level for fire manipulation. Few are able to reach this stage of pyrokinesis, as it demands heightened concentration, training and patience. Without the right mindset, lightning can never be created.
Main Zodiac Power: [Pyrotechnic Projection] |
The results of this power look like small fireworks- and they are, to an extent. However, most would describe these explosions as bombs. As the manipulator grows more powerful, they can increase the magnitude of the fireworks until they are as destructive as nuclear bombs- not that this has ever happened before. These âfireworksâ carry the light and sound of normal, entertainment fireworks, but when used against others can also be used as a means of protection and attack.
The amount of Zodiacs that have been able to unlock this power can be counted with two hands- and almost all of them never dared to use this power, as they viewed it as wild and untamable.

{Big hearted | Leader-like | Possessive | Confident | Stubborn | Loyal | Ambitious | Generous | Kind | Energetic | Optimistic | Gregarious | Egoistic | Dominating | Impatient}
Darren is rather similar to the many Zodiacs of the Leo constellation. Kind, gregarious and energetic, Darren tends to make friends extremely easily and loves to participate in activities. This ranges from physical sports to study activities within class. Within his groups of friends, he tends to establish himself as the Leader, guiding and leading everyone around to what he believes is the best option or best-case scenario. Whenever he makes a friend, Darren tends to be extremely loyal, making sure to not harm his friends or help them in any way possible. He is notoriously kind and nice, and loves to meet new people whenever possible. This, however, is extremely common within members of the Leo Constellation, and almost the entire members of the Leo Constellation act in this certain way. Compared to the other members, however, Darrenâs niceness seems a bit toned down but not as easy to retract as the other Leoâs are fast to anger.
Also like the other Zodiacs of the Leo Constellation, Darren is extremely stubborn and dominating, with a rather inflated ego. However, something is broken about this ego of his- it is almost gone, nonexistent, but a shadow of it still resides within him. Whenever tackling a problem, Darren tends to take it upon himself to finish everything and not rely on everything, and he tends to take all matters in terms of pride and honor. He is extremely ambitious in terms of what he does, and rarely is he satiated with what he obtains or has. This doesnât mean that Darren is willing to give his possessions away. Rather, Darren is extremely possessive, and can get into fights with others over what he believes is âhisâ. When he cannot get what he wants, Darren tends to get extremely impatient, and tries to pound through his problems through sheer force alone.
But, that all said, there is a sort of mellowness to Darrenâs personality. There is a reservation and diffidence that is extremely rare within Leos. Though he is quick to act, Darren never does anything without planning his every step and move carefully to ensure his own success. He is far from rash, though sometimes his emotions to get the better of himself.
Talking | Conversations | Texting | Walking around | Moving | Control | Good scores | Looking good | Popularity | Competitions | Momentary solitude | Thoughtful people | Operas | His new life | Spurning himself on | Motivational speeches | Security
Dislikes:
Negative comments | Rude people | stealing stuff | Having his stuff stolen | Memories | His mother | Drugs | Alcohol | Holing up at home | Gossiping | People who challenge his authority | Debate | Restrictions | Large fires | pictures of smoking houses | Smoke | The smell of smoke | Spiders | Sirens
Fears:
x Thanatophobia| Fear of Death || Darren, just like most normal human beings, fears the day he leaves this world. He wants to live within the moment, and live it to itâs best. The sight of his father burning to death may have prompted this phobia to grow within Darren- and it has mainly worked as a way to spurn him to work hard and live as best as he can.x
x Thalassophobia| Fear of the Sea|| Probably because Leo is a horoscope of fire, Darren does not like water much. Pools? Sure. Rain? Fine. The sea? No thanks. Darren doesnât like to swim much, and when he does have to go to the beach, he tends to stick far away from the water, sun bathing on the sand.x
x Baldness|| Though he is slightly different from other Leoâs, this doesnât mean that Darren is any less vain. He doesnât look forward to the day he loses hair at all.x
Talents:
o Sword Fighting|| Darren is extremely good at sword fighting, and has yet to find someone better than he is. He typically likes to use double swords, rather than a singular sword. He learned how to sword fight early on by attending classes, though he stopped going to those classes rather early. However, this doesnât mean that his skills at sword fighting are any worse than people who have been training for five years.o
o Gaming|| Darrenâs account is rather well known around the League of Legends Universe- not that anyone knows. He tends to play around in many games, dabbling in xbone, DS, PS4 games, and all of them were relatively easy to play. Except for Dark Souls. But where did he get the money? Through his own means.o
o Making friends|| Darren himself considers this as a sort of talent though all Leoâs are rather exceptional at making new friends within short amounts of time.o
Flaws:
= Pride =
= Conflicting feelings|| His father's incident and the fall of his sister and mother has left Darren confused with his own personality and his life. He doesn't know exactly what to do, and this has led him to go down an extremely unsure path, causing him to say conflicting ideas and do opposite actions, leaving others unsure of what exactly he wants himself. =
= Anger =
= Stubbornness =
= Implicit Manipulative intents|| Though Darren himself has yet to admit even to himself, he does tend to become increasingly manipulative over whatever he claims as 'his'.
Born to Daniel Boreaux and Han Shenghong, Darren was loved by many and brought up in a semi-western and semi-chinese style. Though considerably free, many restrictions were put on the boy, especially from his father as Daniel himself was a Zodiac. His mother tried to take up the position as the âfunâ within the family, taking Darren and his sister out to play. His father, due to the economical decline of Darrenâs grandparents, was forced to stay within the Earth Plane while studying to perfect his Zodiac Skills. Daniel himself never thought of going back to school, content with the extent he had managed to explore with his powers, though relatively limited. When Vanessa and Daniel were born- the two were twins- he had been extremely happy to learn that the two were both born blessed by the Constellation of Leo, though worry filled his heart. This forced him to adopt the role as the harsh rule-follower and maker within the family, taking on the position as âTiger Dadâ- but he rarely was home, as Danielâs main goal was to provide Vanessa and Darren enough money to make it to the Celestial Plane.
However, Daniel strained himself too far. After 7 years of constant work and lack of rest, Daniel gave in gradually to alcohol and smoking. Both did not help his already weak control over his Zodiac skills. Stress built up as Darren and Vanessa started to grow up, and their educational prices were rising with their height as well. Shenghong was forced to search for a job as well, in hopes of lessening Danielâs burden- but Daniel quit his job immediately afterwards. Darren and Vanessa could only watch helplessly as Shenghong turned into the familyâs only worker, taking up day and night jobs to keep the house running. Daniel fell further into alcoholism, and his drunken rages could be heard throughout the house. Smoke became a common phenomenon and spurts of red light were seen everywhere.
âThose days were utter hellâŚâ
When Darren was 12, while Vanessa had been out at a friendâs house and Shenghong at work, Darren had been playing around in the house. âApparently, I was making too much noise.â His father had barged into his room, demanding that the boy stayed silent. Darren could see the anger within his father- it was consuming him, and that one shout served as the breaking of the dam, unleashing something Darrenâs whole family never would have expected. âFire burst out of his hands, scraped my face, and landed on the floor. He couldnât stop the fire- it burned the whole house down.â Luckily enough, Darrenâs room was on the first floor and he managed to crawl out by his window. His father was more unfortunate, as the fire he created- and could not stop- continued to spew out of him, burning down the house and Daniel himself. Darren got away with a large scar on the left side of his face, and the memory burnt into his memory.
Shenghong collapsed afterwards; the pressure and the tragic death of her husband left her barren and hopeless. Vanessa retreated within herself as well, fear rising within her in terms of her probable Zodiac powers. Only Darren was left within the household, and he tried his best to cheer up his mother but to no avail. On the eve of his 16th birthday, Darrenâs powers were awakened- but thankfully not in front of Darrenâs family. The small flickering flame that had suddenly burst forth on top of Darrenâs right index finger instilled a sense of fear and hope within the young boy. Darren believes that he has found a new means of attaining happiness, not just through friends- many of which he had- but also through his own two hands, through force and power.
âI knew, from then on, that nothing would be the same ever again.â
The moment the letter arrived for his acceptance into Seraphic Academy, Darrenâs relationship with his mother and sister grew extremely distant. His mother was scared of Darren due to his powers; Vanessa jealous and fearful at the same time, angry that Darrenâs powers had awakened instead of hers. Right before Darren left for the Academy, Vanessa plunged herself into a pit of depression, using drugs and self-mutilation as a means of release. The only thing Darren did for his sister- due to his overall lack of time- was to sign her up for therapy and rehab sessions. He himself is unsure if she attended these sessions or not. Darren had left the house without any âgoodbyesâ and no acknowledgement at all. The Boreaux family is nothing but a shell of what it once was.
âI can only wish that everything will get better- and it should, because I am taking my own life into my own hands.â
