The Drop OCT: Character Reference Sheet

August Louis Antoine ©

• Parameters: 17 years old; 5'2-1/2"; 112 lb


• Abilities:
  Physical - Not much. He's fit enough to carry his own weight but nothing beyond that. As a point of reference, he's a bench warmer in his school's soccer team, decent for day to day stamina and coordination, though nothing stellar.
  
  Magical - He has a binary-based form of magic, with spells that are low on requirement and don't really do much, but they do enough to make a seventeen-year-old's life more convenient in a host of ways. He was also taught basic elemental spells, though unusable in areas with air low in magical content, compared to the former.
  
  Talents - Smart, but unwise. His knowledge is a little vast for a seventeen-year-old, due to his excellent ability to retain knowledge. He's good with the inner workings of programs and complex code found within machinery.


• Personality:
  Optimistic to a fault, always looking for a positive outlook no matter the situation. He has a tendency to flee if he feels he can't get a handle on the situation. Generally quite the one to always explore his possibilities and opportunities, always quite excitable and willing to meet different kinds of people. August always tries to see the good in an individual, holding the opposite view of his cynic of an older brother.


• History:
  Youngest of three, their father currently deceased and their mother had left prior to that, he'd been raised by two clueless teens and it shows.
  
  Dominic Antoine was an entrepreneur who had little time for anything that did not further himself in status nor financial situation, he had passed away 7 years prior; August was 10 at the time.
  
  Dominic's face is something August can't really forget with all the memories associated; but, despite the blanks, he's not curious about what's already done.
  
  August had attended a private elementary school, then a public junior high at his own request, he hasn't gone back since. He currently is attending his 12th and final grade, not too focused on his performance, more of waiting until he's 18 to work full-time on their family's time machine project. He spends his days blending in, making friends, nothing about him particularly standing out, except the occasional event where he gets picked up in a helicopter. He comes from a very, very, wealthy family, who indeed delve every now and then into chronodynamics, but that's for another time.
  
  August's taken a liking to collecting things worthy to adorn a museum, be it various pieces of medieval wares, questionably, though non-working pieces of equipment that vaguely resemble things you'd see in bad sci-fi movies, and pretty stones.

William Grand III ©

• Parameters: 16 years old; 5'9"; 160 lb


• Abilities:
  Physical - Muscles for power, not for speed. This is due to hours spent on working construction tools, whether electronic or manual. He can somewhat be a klutz though. However, a lot of his physical attributes are augmented due to a device called the BOOM Suit. See more info below.
  
  Intellectual - Weea is an extremely smart young man. Make that an IQ of 190. Most of this intelligence is spent on various fields of engineering and physics as well as the invention of various pop culture prop icons such as the lightsaber, the sonic screwdriver, and mechanical version of the Mirror of Erised.
  
  Social - This is where he fails miserably. Weea, by all definition, is a savant. Despite his immensely fast mind, he has significant difficulties in social interaction. He doesn't reciprocate feelings well and is most likely to think of others as mysteries to explore or test subjects.


• Personality:
  Due to his reciprocal impairment, Weea is susceptible to being a douchebag, although deep inside, he probably doesn't mean to. Maybe. We're not sure of that. He is delusionally naive and does not believe in impossibilities. He is curious and adventurous but more times than not at the risk of others. Weea does not interact with others. He tinkers with them. Lastly, it is common knowledge to his peers that Weea trusts movies, TV shows, and cartoons more than anything else. They are his reality.


• History:
  
  Weea was born the only child of a rich family. His parents, William II and Elizabeth, make their earnings through multiple high-stakes investments and world-leading businesses. Although the structure of their ventures allowed them a lot of free time, the two spent most of their days on frivolous acts and forsook time with their son. This was an early cause of Weea's current mindset other than his mental condition.
  
  Secluded from the world by his misaligned parents and his haughty tongue, Weea secluded himself to watching television. He soon found himself inspired by many constructs and artifacts that only appear in cartoons or movies; those too fantastical to be real. From early on, he knew he was capable of building such marvels, so he studied by himself with the help of the local library, and later on, the internet.
  
  Weea was soon revered for his intelligence and he cherished it. He developed a way of thinking that maybe the reason people do not talk to him is that he was too smart for them to comprehend. This excited him. However as smart as he was, his wit did not gain him the respect of his parents, so he decided to strive for greater limits. He decided to stay within the usual school level of his age to make sure there was no other smarter than him, and made sure to watch a lot of television and downloaded shows, falsely believing that these shows were close to real life.
  
  Currently, he is at the final grade of high school, but surprisingly, there is one person who stands in his way of becoming the Valedictorian, not through grades alone, but through the detriment of Weea's many mishaps at school. That person is August Antoine, and Weea hates him.

• NOTE: Bioalloy Opus Originator Mecha Suit (BOOM Suit)
  Weea has disproven scientific limits time and time again. However, it is known to the scientific society that none of his other inventions compare against the BOOM suit.
  
  Formed by semi-organic nanobots, the BOOM suit is a fully customizable piece of clothing that can wrap anywhere around your body. This means it can take form of a wristwatch, a pair of cargo pants, or even a piece of thin underwear. Weea prefers to have it as a skin suit. This shapeshifting ability also means that it may repair itself.
  
  The second ability of the BOOM Suit is to enhance the wearer's physical attributes. The subject becomes as strong as a power lifter, as fast as a track runner, and as endurant as a triathlete. It also increases the wearer's reflexes, but does not do the same for his or her awareness. There will be times that the suit react and dodge danger without the wearer actually knowing about it. This may be a hassle at times.
  
  However, the most important feature of the suit is what gives it its name, "Opus Originator". The main reason the suit was invented and why Weea wears it constantly is that it was built to make building easier. It has the ability to restore machines as well as build them. The suit uses no external resources but its own nanobots. This part of the suit is still within the testing phase, so it is limited to building grenades. EMP grenades, acid grenades, homing grenades, you name it. Even fish grenades.
