Darius Arteria

Think my power is useless? I prefer just saying I'm incompetent at being incompetent.

Name
Darius Arteria

Nickname
Darry, Artie, etc.

Gender
Male

Age
Seventeen and a half

Role
Medial Student

Ability
Incompetence-
Short version: The ability to make things fall short of their intended result.(EX. Homer trying to pour a bowl of cereal causing it to burst into flames, or someone trying to sink a basketball into the hoop missing by three feet.)
Long Version: I'm capable of warping reality and probability so that any attempts one makes to do something result in failure. This can work in one of two ways, at least that I've discovered. I can focus on one specific type of action a person can do(Ex: sinking a basketball) and make them fail in that action, or I could say, out loud and in the form of an insult, what a person is incompetent at doing, thus causing failure in that area without a need to concentrate. However, I have no control over what happens other than the fact that they fail(They could trip, miss, get attacked by a recently cloned velociraptor, etc.), and cannot directly cause someone's death unless the action they were taking in the first place would have also caused it(meaning I can't save someone by making them incompetent at doing whatever would have killed them, they'll end up dying anyways). The only time there is an exception to this rule of no-direct-killing is when I am in mortal danger from another person, and I subconsciously cause their hearts to fail at keeping a proper beat, thus instigating a heart attack in my assailant. Unless medical help is sought immediately, the victim dies within 5 minutes. Death Notes are, thankfully, not needed for this process.

Appearance

Hair
Brown, long enough to put into a low ponytail and bangs, but mainly kept loose. And before you cringe at my hair length and the word ponytail in the same sentence, I do NOT condone just pulling all of your hair back if you are a guy. I keep it well managed and held back with a leather tie, use bangs to ensure my face is well-framed, and keep the ponytail length short to ensure minimal creepiness.

Eye Color
To this day, I still don't know. It just changes without warning.

Height and Weight
6'2'' and 170 lbs.

Detailed
Dude, just look at the pic. I can't really get more detailed than that.

Personality
Oh, dear lord, how to describe me? Well, ironically, my power is the exact opposite of what I myself is like, always striving for perfection in my image, studies, what have you. I tend to be rather narcissistic at times, but no truer friend can exist when you're in need. To those who have never met me, I'd probably come off as a flirtatious, airheaded fool, and they'd be dead right. However, I'm also a master of the art of Obfuscating Stupidity. I hide a master tactician's mind under that silly facade, and pretty much can guarantee victory over any battle, mental or physical, the second I've fully analyzed my opponent and their weaknesses, and already have virtually full control over my powers. But, of course, being one of the "special" children vying for the adult's attentions isn't my bag, so I just continue to act like my powers have hit a wall. No one's seen me go all-out yet, so they'll probably stay that way.

Likes
Women, perfection, good food, and a good fight every now and again.


Dislikes
Liars, imperfection that isn't intended, that stuff on the inside of an orange peel that sticks to the flesh

Other
I am a skilled martial artist, with my style based around turning people's strengths against them.
I adore any woman who can cook, even if it's more in a mother/father-son/daughter kind of way.
I have gotten lost in ways that defy nature.
I have a flair for the dramatic.

So begins...

"Good Morning, and welcome to the New Blood students that have come and joined us this year! Please take this time to explore this facility and to enjoy the beauty and history that runs through the halls! If you have any questions, please find a faculty member or one of the Superlative students. Enjoy, and be merry!"

The scratchy and overplayed announcement over the speakers rang through Cambria’s head, and she groaned a bit as she stood up from the chair in her dorm room. They played that every year, the same recording of the shrilled woman speaking of greetings that had been there longer then she had. It was the beginning of a new year. Unlike every regular school, they didn’t have breaks and vacations, due to the fact that they were not exactly trusted to go outside the Institutions doors with their untrained powers. Well, they were allowed outside, but only into the city and when accompanied by a teacher or a superlative student. Lucky for her, she was a superlative and could leave by herself, but it took her awhile to reach that point of rank. In the years back students were free to leave at their own will, but ever since one of last year’s younger students was taken and murdered by the rebel group that found out about the secret of the Institution, they bumped up the protection just a bit.

Grabbing a sweater off one of the hangers in her closet, she threw it on over her tank top. Looking at her outfit, it was mostly black, just like it was most days. Slinging her book bag across her shoulder, she rummaged through it making everything she needed was inside, her sheet music, her sketching book, pencils and whatever. Making the mental checklist, she mumbled under her breath. “I’m missing my psychology book. Must have left it in the music room.” She was originally planning to head over to meet Ben to talk about the New Bloods and discuss what they were going to inform them of about the institute and the hierarchy and everything, but she would have to make a stop now first.

Walking out of her sketch filled, and a bit messy dorm room, she made her way down the long hallway. The walls were plastered with stain glass windows and ornate walls that you could easily tell have been there for a long while. French writing and inscriptions laced the walls as well. Going down the large, chestnut wood stair case, she wandered into the main hall. She noticed a few old faces she knew, and a couple of new ones. There were around forty-five students this year, and many of them New bloods. Giving a nod of her head in greeting to some of the people she passed by, she went down a corridor not many went down. The old church was almost practically a maze, filled with rooms many have yet to discover. Reaching the end of the cool stone hall, she opened up the last door on the right, and walked in, shutting it behind her.

The room was dark, the only light being let through was the sky light on the very high ceiling, made of stain glass. It reflected colors all around the room, and it was pretty calming. Walking up to the old piano right in the middle of the room, she grabbed the book she had left on the bench the night before. The only reason she had the psychology book, was to understand the mind and how everything affects it. It was useful when it came to understanding her own power. Slipping it into her bag, she turned to leave, but stopped mid way. She had new sheet music with her, and decided while she was here she could at least try and play one. ”What the hell.” She shrugged with a small smile tugging at the edge of her lips. Grabbing the music, she set it down as she sat at the piano, and began playing.

The soft music filled the small room, and it echoed and bounced off the walls. It wasn’t a very long piece, and she sat there for a minute after it was done, contemplating whether or not to leave and go deal with the ruckus of a new year, or stay alone in the quiet, where she liked it.

Darius had been up since seven, and was currently busy making breakfast. They hadn't let him get a full stove installed in his room, so he made do with a propane space heater he'd jury rigged a while back to work as a gas grill, and surprisingly, no one had raised questions once he'd started coming round to people's rooms with things like blueberry french toast and asking if they wanted some. Today's dish was a Rabbit Moco loco, brown rice with chopped rabbit, served under two eggs-over-easy and bacon gravy. He'd been introduced to it at a young age in Hawaii, and had made it a little tradition of his to have it at least once a month. As he cooked, the scent drifted throughout the hallways, making Darius' mouth water in preparation.

A few minutes later, and Darius was digging in, alongside a few other Meddies who had come over. As they all talked and laughed, Darius smiled, glad that, even though they weren't even Player Characters like him, they could all find a common ground in good food. However, he DID wonder about the New Blood. After all, he'd seen that some of them looked like models. Call it a gut feeling, but he was certain that they were PCs as well.
