Name: Excalibur (Or 'Cal' for short)
Age: Unknown
Gender: Male
Role: Student
Appearance:
Six and a half foot tall, Cal towers over a lot of folk considered a 'common' height. This impressive height seems all the more imposing when you consider just how wide he is as well. It's really quire difficult to decide trivial things like what colour his eyes are or how old he is as he is clad in a suit of armour that he is never seen without.
A close-helm covers his entire face, with a visor that he can swing back should he ever feel the need, that would in theory reveal the face beneath; though everyone that had heard the creak of the bolts holding it in place have always been too late by the time they look over. The close-helm has a big plume of white feathers in it though, and it not undecorated. Perhaps some time in the past, this suit of armour was quite fancy, but has since been used a fair bit (especially considering Cal appears to sleep in it as well).
The suit is full plate and those bits that aren't covered by steel are covered in chain mail (though some of it has seen better days in places). He clangs when he moves, or clinks, or scrapes if he passes by anything too closely. Cal isn't a quiet creature, and can be quite disruptive simply by being around. He smells faintly of oil, which suggests he might have to keep up on the maintenence of that armour to keep it moving. Or maybe he just drinks oil. There's plenty of rumours about what he actually does or is.
Personality:
Cal is fairly withdrawn on a personal level from almost everyone. He'll gladly be acquaintances with anyone at all, and would even hang out with people he knows, but very few people know much about his feelings. Heck, he doesn't know too much about his feelings.
He's prone to sitting at the back of classes (originally because of his size, and now possibly just from habit), and he has a terrible attention span when it comes to more scientific or academic pursuits. He's creative when he wants to be, and often thinks through problems by coming up with a solution that's usually a little bit of a curve ball.
He is also fairly clumsy. This coupled with his size and weight means he struggles with anything of a delicate nature. His hands are large, plated and gloved so he has no ability with small, fiddly things and even struggles with writing as it's hard to have the dexterity to write anything small.
Powers and Abilities:
Absorption of weapons
Excalibur can,- by force of will and magic, absorb any weapon that strikes him. The more powerful the weapon, the more of his energy it takes to absorb it. For example, he's likely got a nuclear device 'In Storage' somewhere within his person at this very moment, but absorbing such a ridiculously powerful thing laid him out for several days as his body tried to recover. Absorbing a weapon completely neutralises said weapon. He cannot absorb several weapons in quick succession, unless they were a bunch of crappy daggers or something similar. There's no size limit on this ability though the bigger then thing, the harder it is to contain.
Conjuring of weapons
Excalibur can expell any weapon he has absorbed and in whatever quantity. Be this a thousand knives to make a bridge across a gap, or a single arrow to fire at an opponent. He can summon them in any combination as well (such as a sword sprouting from a bunch of knives fired from a bow, if he so decided to). However, again, the more powerful the weapon the more energy it uses, and the less time he can maintain it. If he runs out fo time, the weapon simply vanishes. He can also will a weapon to disappear if it's not due to vanish in an appropriate amount of time. For example, those crappy daggers? Likely not going anywhere for years. He has to will them away. But the nuclear device? He can hold it a couple of seconds, maximum.
Personal Favourites
Although he can summon a whole bunch of things, he's not terribly great at using all of them. Some things are really beyond him, such as firearms which are practically useless in his giant hands save as a club, so he's great at supporting any allies as he can furnish them with firepower (albiet temporarily). However, he favours several magical swords, a shield, an axe and a spear, all of which he can use with reasonable effectiveness.
