[Okita]

Basics
Name: Elias Beckett
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Sexual Preference: Men or Women
Ability: Radiation/Light energy manipulator. Can essentially absorb the heat from the sun (or say a heat lamp) and recycle it in a way that can create energy for himself, among other things such as prove to calm him down. This energy is a colorless force that can have the same strength of a push, punch, or has the potential to be piercing and perform cuts. It depends on which way it is focused-- in pulses or discs. So far he's unable to control it all too well, though, so it is still just potential. He may never gain control of it entirely.

Overall Personality
A glance at his broad smile could give the impression he's a confident, driven, or, even a friendly person. He can be any and all of these-- and, yes, friendly. Just these traits may fall only on the surface. He's shown he has the ability to be well-mannered as well …when he wants to be. These traits may just be part of his imagination at points, though, when in actuality no matter what is spewing out of his mouth at the time the way he behaves could tell a different story. Elias tries (even if he knows he's being incredibly unsuccessful) to hide behind his words-- lying is common with him whether if he understands the severity of it or not, he still does it and thinks little of it. Impulsive liar could be a fair description, or just impulsive itself. Whenever he does make a decision he will make it off of personal opinion and whatever is convenient rather than facts, making some decisions appear shallow and not thought through. His ignorance doesn't necessarily spread into his intelligence itself as he does know a thing or two, yet he's more accurately described as street smart because...do you really think his nose would be stuck in books? Even though he may be caught reading, you may as well treat it as a unicorn sighting should he be seen doing so in public, and a school book on top of that! He claims good memory is the reason why he won't review material usually, and by how many grudges he holds over people he barely knows with the smallest things he somehow remembers, this may not be a complete lie. He's observant of people and the way they act to where he's suspicious of what may be going on in their mind, and this may be reflective on himself subconsciously as they could be lying to him just as easily as he could be to them.
Elias jokes around and can hold a lighthearted sarcastic air about him, but this detached shell has been known to break into what looks and sounds more like a spoiled brat. This is his true nature that he's carried with him since he was a child where he enjoys depending on others, generally getting his way, and believing that his opinion rules over all. Being wrong is always a bit hard to deal with and hurts his pride. Those times he's wrong don't exist in his mind, however. He's determined to think of himself as right, his opinions as accurate, and should he be driven to do something that is important to him, that something may develop human feelings of becoming tired of him. He does not give up easily on things that he really wants. This does not mean he won't have tantrums while pursuing it either while other times the pursuit of something ends at just a frustrated fit.

History
The oldest of two children, Elias got his hands onto things first and would eventually pass some things down to his little brother should he not want it anymore. Despite having a sibling he still thought himself to be the more important of the two as it mattered for the oldest to get what they wanted rather than the baby, right? It didn't always work out that way much to his dismay, causing jealously towards his younger brother who seemed like he could get away with murder. But, what really distanced him was the discovery of his power. His parents expressed his need for help to deal with it and this only irritated the boy. They talked as if he was broken and this was one time he didn't really want help at all. He wanted to deny the very existence of his powers as this couldn't happen to him, no… His life was going just fine-- normally-- there was no reason for this type of punishment. Elias could only try to ignore these powers for so long, though. His power began showing itself, lashing out in unison with his emotions, creating an embarrassing and dangerous situation. He couldn't lie through the fact that he just accidentally pushed someone down without touching them. With a short amount of time the staff of his school was notified and he was promptly kicked out as they did not accept such "hazards" in their school. No more school, baseball team, friends, and family looked to be a close fourth. His family actually support him and simply want the best, but these intentions are taken offensively by Elias who thinks they want to get rid of him and are treating him differently than he deserves. Let's say the goodbye wasn't nice. He feels as though everything turned on him, leaving him bitter about the whole situation as well as frustrated with himself. He doesn't make much of an effort to control his powers as he still has these strange idea that if he doesn't they may just disappear, because despite how angry he is he wants his old life again. The baseball cap is what reminds him constantly of this simple life.
