(no subject)

Age: REDONKULOUSLY OLD, old as humanity in his world old. Looks 20. Acts 12.
Height: Tall, on the upper end of 5 foot.
Weight: Scrawny
Eyes: Black eyes
Hair: Fluffy, curly brown hair
Appearance: He appears as a tall, lanky young man with a runner/dancer's build. He has a somewhat goofy appearance and an easy, almost constant smile. He doesn't tend to look at people, and is constantly in motion. If he's not talking, he's probably humming. He prefers flannels (naturally, in the same color scheme as his team.)

He will also be wearing a necklace with two charms on it at all times. A glass star charm and a moonstone inset flower charm.

Character Name: Ptou
Unit: ??
Description of powers: Ptou was once a god of humanities, culture, wind and travel. He was notably known as pacifistic and more mischievous than violent, his powers aptly reflect that. With only one or two skills that could even be considered combat possible, his skills are overwhelmingly based in arts, linguistics and some light wind based power.
The Word, however, is a power set that he literally stole from someone else. This particular power can, with his voice, and with the knowledge of a person's true name, influence their actions, override and change their sense of self, and create/destroy. He somewhat vehemently hates this power.
Strength/Extent of powers: He WAS a god, just not a very impressive one. POWERFUL, but uh, a lil useless on ye olde battlefield. Now if you needed a new word for a complicated, compound concept, he's your dude for it.
Innate: Yes
Effect of the powercap: The power cap limits how he gathers energy to use his supernatural abilities. IE, he cannot draw it from other people's belief/actions or the environment. So the extent of what he can do comes from pulling it from his own energy reserves. While the simpler powers are effortless for him, the more dangerous/enormous powers are devastatingly draining. A single use of the Word, should any level of it ever be unlocked, easily causes him to pass out and need to sleep an entire day, as do extreme uses of wind based powers. Powers restricted to what would be considered a god's powers, such as creation of the truth by speaking it, are simply unattainable. The power use would simply kill him before he even got halfway there.
