Tempest Diamond

[Tempest Diamond]

The Basics

Name: Tempest Diamond
Nicknames: None
Age: 17
Orientation: Homosexual - Secretly
Desired Rank/Job: Student.
Powers: Manipulation of fire - Tempest can manipulate fire. He didn’t know how to use it and didin’t know how to control it this power before he came to Hammel. It is mostly tied to his emotions so when extremely scared or angry he it would activate without control over it unable to stop at will. However during his time at Hammel he has gotten better at using and controling his ability. However it's still very tricky when he is angry to keep in control and not sure the power. When he uses this power he can be burned and anyone can if anything goes wrong or get too close somehow, it’s very dangerous when this happens. High stress can bring on a sudden uncontrolled outburst and then render him unable to use it for a whole day after. He is currently working on correcting this with one of his teachers. But the upside is that he cannot produce fire and if fire is not around he is like a normal person. Nothing happens. After an outburst he will faint for a couple hours if not more from headaches. But other than this it is noted that his has an unsual high body temperature at all times and tends to enough hot spices more than sweet things.

The Details

Hair Color: Dark brown
Eye Color: Silver blue
Any Piercings? Right ear
Any Tattoos? None yet but he wants a lotus flower on his hip.
Any Scars? On his back from beatings.
General Appearance: He’s short with short dark brown hair pale skin and cute blueish silver eyes, he’s slim with curved hips more natural for a girl to have. He has pale peach plush lips that suit him and are plush to the hint of a pout. He is very sweet and when he looks at you it’s clear that he is very kind and welcoming from his cute smile which is usually on his handsome face. Over all he is a pretty boy and if fashionista’s and designers knew about him he’d be a sensational little model. He wears mostly whatever he feels like but nothing too flashy or his friends might think he is weird.
Personality: He likes people that like him. And the people that don’t like him he tries really hard to get them to like him. He can’t accept not being liked by others when they don’t even know him. It upsets him to no end and he’s very self depressing. Always picking on some flaw within himself. And then trying to change that. He can’t take that someone might not like him because they just don’t. He hates being in trouble and he gets very scared when someone starts shouting in anger, so much he’ll tremble and possibly cry.. Maybe not in the persons presence but afterwards alone he’ll let himself breakdown. He always seems stronger than he is. He dislikes having powers since he doesn't know how to control them, it makes him feel like a freak and he fears ever having them go out of control. He is an over emotional kind of a person and is constantly worrying that no one likes him. When his friends make a new friend or seem better friends with one another than he is with them he gets envious of that person jealous even. However he keeps it to himself and normally after knowing the other he simmers down. He is protective of his friends but might not be the type to stick up for them if there was an argument. He doesn't like arguments or fights of any kind. He is a very sweet person and enjoys the company of other people. He Lies to be accepted and not in deaveous ways. He is a whimp that is clear but he's kinda adorable. He can be loud when he feels comfortable around people but mostly he's a tad quiet at first, so much sometimes they deem him boring. Overall apart from lying to get people to like him he's actually a pretty good friend. He doesn't tell secrets, he keeps them unless they are very serious matters and then discusses them with a teacher privately with their promise not to tell anyone till they know what to do. His is always looking out for them and still gets a dessert at lunch to give to another person in his little group. He listens well and mostly takes everyone's drama but never really lets them see his which is unfortunate because he needs to say something. He will accept most anyone as a friend but might try and keep certain things from his other friends about that friend is they were strange or different.

History

The Diamond family came into their fortune in the late 60’s and have only built upon it since, Tempest was born to the daughter of the current fortune holder who was to marry a very influential partner in a merger deal however due to her having become pregnant by another that had been stalled and then stopped. His mother decided to keep him however regretted her decision for the foreseeable future. She pretended that he was not her child after infancy and married a wealthy bank owner he was left to live with his grandfather and the staff at the mansion. His father was an unknown person in his life so they couldn’t drop him off and have him grow up there, and since it was always better to have a backup plan they didn’t send him to an orphanage in case they weren’t able to further their family line and had to give the little bastard everything they had worked for over the last 50 years.

He was pushed forwards into many very tough schools which he excelled at to make his grandfather and grandmother proud along with all his aunts and uncles. However upon the schooling of a little brother he was pushed aside from the little attention he was given by them. Soon he was forgotten and left to himself as they had the servants wait on the younger male hand and foot. He still proceeded to get the best results and was never praised or rewarded while his brother given presents for only just not failing. Tempest began rebelling against his grandfather who shocked him when he was first struck, not just slapped but struck down with his wooden cane and then whipped for his insubordinance like a slave in the 1800’s would have been. This wasn’t the last time and sometimes the punishments were worse. While he still enjoyed school and did the work he purposely failed his tests hoping that they would just even ask him why. But no questions not even words just beatings. This went on for a year twice he’d landed in hospital with a cracked rib then a broken one this was around the time he started showing signs of having a power but his family ignored it. He was just 12 at the time just before his birthday his 13th birthday was just a few days away at the time and while in hospital he was asked how he got the injury's but coming from a rich family they passed it off as he'd been horse riding, but when other past injury's came to light it was said that he was adopted and had a troubled past. His teachers never saw as everything was kept to his back and when sports came around they didn't do swimming at that age having done it younger and they had private dressing rooms for each student. Very small but private. They had him patched up and then discharged him promising rest but they just sent him back to school with a note to say he'd be missing sport for a month or so.

After some thought on his part he resumed doing well just turning to fellow classmates for his attention becoming fairly popular amongst them despite seeming poor because he rarely got new clothes or money for food from the cafeteria. He normally made his own lunch and took it from home. But his looks attracted the right kind of attention for him and he eventually began rebelling again first with couple ear piercings’ these were all obtained from having paid someone to say he was their son. With 'Parental' acceptance he got his small tattoo and his couple of piercings. And he liked them. It wasn’t just to be bad against his family. His younger brother ended up becoming very spoiled and insulted him on a near daily basis the fact that he was his bastard older brother was not hidden from him. But it wasn’t constantly as he lived with their mother. When he was just about to turn 13 he had a very small gathering for his birthday that he’d almost begged for. They had said he could have them over but to keep it down in the basement which wasn’t too bad but it was more about that he wasn’t allowed to use any of the nice things. He was very happy despite this. Eventually no one came as they had been told it was cancelled. His mother had done it not wanting people to know where he lived. Since then they would assume correctly and find that he was her child. She couldn’t allow that.

When she came he was already depressed he was almost crying. Instead of comforting him she yelled and screamed at him wishing he’d never been born at all. He got very angry and began shouting at her ranting and raving he became so angry that the fire in the furnace jumped out and spread over the concrete like wild fire but it dwindled when he realized what he’d done which lead him to being sent to boarding school The Hammel institute by the recruiters. Even if they had a choice to send him or not they'd have sent him. And his family didn't much care. No one got hurt but he could have really hurt his mother.. His silent rebellion when unnoticed and he didn't have much time to make true friends at his school it being just a few days he'd tried. He's been at Hammel for 5 years now and not seen his family since, he doesn't write or call and neither do they. People find it strange that he has an English accent. But seeing at all his tutors from home had been English for the benefit that his grandfather wanted them to have proper speaking with no mumbling and such he picked it up from the people he was around mostly however sometimes with certain words he has a slightly more American accent or at times irish since it's fairly close when mixed together. His family were rich they could afford to do this, this cost merely pennies to them.

Roleplay Example

Sasha sighed as he woke at three AM when his daughter began crying. He went to her and hugged her tightly bringing her to his room where he let her sleep in his bed with him hoping her nightmares would leave. He had only gotten in two hours ago from working a very late shift at the restaurant. There were some French business men there and they didn't order until just before closing time and then took ages eating everything and ended up ordering bottles after bottles of very expensive wine. Sasha couldn’t complaint too much though as it had earned him some god tips. He snuggled into his daughter and they fell back to sleep until Sasha's alarm when off. It was set for eight AM so they could get to the Zoo early and have the whole day to explore it. Jae was very excited to be going, she adored animals and he loved to give her nice things. He didn't spoil her and only gave her these things when she was being very good like any other parent would. And he saved up ideas and money for those occasions. They had a little box of places to go on his day off which cost and didn't cost and Once every month or so he'd let Jae pick one out and they'd do that. Other days off were spent cooking, cleaning, doing washing and making sure that his daughter was learning.

But Jae loved it, the surprises and the activities. She was a little young to remember everything when she grew but no doubt this wouldn't be her last trip to the Zoo. He got up and turned the alarm off waking Jae up gently and then placing her in her high chair where she seemed to just doze off again even though he was making her favorite pancakes. Instead of what normal people seemed to do he separated the eggs and fluffed up the egg white and gently folded it into the rest of the mix and he didn't put any sugar in it. He made enough for two each though she would more likely eat one and have bits of the other during their day out. He'd added blueberries to the mix and it was quite appetizing when cooked. He cut it up into bite sized bits and placed it in front of her before making her some juice. He put it in a sippy cup and then woke her up again before eating his food quickly making sure she was eating it and not just throwing it on the floor or something of the sort.

After breakfast he picked out a suitable outfit and got her dressed. It was not an easy task with a wiggling toddler who liked to take her socks off as soon as they were on her feet. He spent about ten minutes just trying to keep her socks on long enough to get her shoes on. She was wearing a nice pair of jean jegging sort of things with white socks with the frilly over turn, pink plimsolls, A white top with a white and flowered short sleeved hoodie with a white sun hat. He then smothered her in sun protective cream and got himself dressed changing out of his pyjama's into a nice pair of grey faded stars and stripes skinny jeans with a simple and child friendly tank top with an added light white oversized jumper which was for women but he pulled it off and it was comfy. He put his watch on and his shoes and popped his head in on Jae who was playing with some toys.

Knowing she was occupied for a little he went around the house packing her a rain protective and warm coat the same for him but just protective since he had something warm already, some lunch for them both, her other pancake, some water and some juice as well as some sesame sticks for her to nibble on if at around dinner time they weren't anywhere near the food area's in the Zoo. After packing his baby bag he put it under the pram and got Jae who wanted to bring something. She ended up taking her ducky necklace with her and he made her wear it if she wanted to bring it she couldn't just play with it. He placed her in the pram and strapped her in opening his door before going out and down the elevator. Once out of the building they walked to the bus stop. He had help when getting on the bus and he paid for their fair and return trip to the Zoo. It wasn't expensive as they had a savers discount card. It was about a half hour drive and in the bus it was around 40 minutes with all the stops.

But there was plenty on the bus to keep Jae entertained. When a black man went on the bus she stared, she'd never seen a person of another color other than variant shades of white. She smiled as he went out and smiled at her. She reached for his and and he gave it to her. What she did next was surprising to all and licked her fingers and rubbed the others skin, when nothing happened she burst into a bright smile like it was the best thing she'd even seen. Sasha smiled at the man and was happy he hadn't taken offence as some might have. She was just curious about everything and was learning new things all the time. He smiled when they were getting near hoping that she wouldn't fall asleep from the long ride. When they arrived it was clear she was up and excited and even trying to get out of the pram but until they were inside he wasn't going to let that happen at all. And she needed a harness when walking beside him as she'd wander off and having that happen in a Zoo just made him shudder.

He paid for their VIP all day passes having bringing a discount code he got it slightly cheaper. He looked for codes and coupons all the time as he was in need of the savings. With a smile he got the baby harness out and then unstrapped her from the pram, but as soon as he did he put the harness on her and smiled making sure it wouldn't come adrift and she couldn't get out unless she was Houdini.. He walked around with her holding the leash to her harness and pushing the pram holding her up to see what was in the windows and such. When they stopped for lunch she ate her cucumber sandwich happily on a bench with her Daddy who was doing the same. He only ate when she ate or had time between doing other things, And therefore he'd learned to eat very quickly or to survive on two meals at times. After they had lunch and she'd had enough they went into a little building which had reptiles inside. That was when he lost her. She'd gotten out of the harness and worriedly he went around the building to find her.

Jae smiled as she went to look at more and more things but the thing was annoying she got out of it and then went around but ended up getting lost inside the building there. She began crying and then walked straight into a person before falling backwards onto the floor. She looked up and pouted with tears falling down her cheeks and she hugged the person tightly crying her little hazel eyes out.

Hold on!

Hello Monkey! First of all, welcome to Hammel. We’re glad to see you’re showing interest. ^^ Before Tempest can be accepted, however, we would like to request some changes to make him more suitable.

Power-wise, fire manipulators are definitely welcome. The big issue in Tempest’s case is that he has no control over it though. Given he is 17 and has been at Hammel for five years now, meaning trainers would have made sure it would not be out of control, especially given the danger attached to him possibly not knowing how to handle it. All powers must be able to be stopped at will as well. If he were only at Hammel for a year or so, it might be acceptable to a certain degree, but not to this extent.

In addition to this, please add about two more side effects to this ability. Perhaps high body temperature, dry skin… Those are just a couple of examples.

When it comes to his personality, like mentioned before, he would need control over his power. We would also like to request some more insight in positive personality traits. Other than being very sensitive and having the urge to be liked by people, what is he like? Is he cheerful? A good listener? You can always add his Strengths to this section, like him being good at lying etc. if that would make it easier.

On a minor note, could you provide the age of his brother? It would be easier to follow the timeline whenever Bradley gets mentioned.

As for the child abuse, surely teachers or anyone else would have taken notice, especially if he ended up in the hospital twice. Health care workers should question it, and given he is a minor, child services would probably have been contacted, if not other instances.

You mention that Tempest’s power manifested around the age of 12 (which is okay, given the minimum age is 11), but a recruiter would have shown up within two weeks in that case. Given his power, however, which can indeed be dangerous when newly manifested and lack of control over it, he would have most likely have been recruited within 4-5 days even (depending on how the manifestation took place). His history says it pretty much took an entire year before he went to Hammel. Please correct this accordingly.

This also means that his mother/grandparents did not send him away. They wouldn’t have had a choice on the matter.

Tempest would have been a minor when he got the tattoo and piercings. While I am not sure about the latter, I do know that legal parental consent would have to be given for the tattoo.

When these changes have been made, please bump the application and it shall be reviewed again. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact a member of staff! ^^
