POWER DESCRIPTIONS

HYPNOPATHY - Irix's dominant ability, and the one most used for recreational purposes. He's about as skilled with this as he could really get by this point, and as a result has it rather nicely under control. He uses it dominantly to calm down students, deal with bullies and thugs in a non-violent way, or otherwise suit his own ends. However, it manifests uncontrollably in his right eye, hence the eyepatch.

ADOPTIVE ACTION - An ability Irix tends to use to largely mess with people's minds, this allows him to repeat any action upon seeing it performed once, regardless of what it is, with the utmost precision. While used dominantly for exerting a sense of dominance, Irix also utilizes this during fights to pinpoint weak spots in his opponents defense by using the newly gained knowledge of their stance to strike at lesser defended areas.

APPEARANCE

Set at a fairly modest 5 foot 10 inches, Irix Black has medium-length black hair and striking gold eyes, the rightmost one being covered up at most times due to an uncontrolled symptom of his Hypnopathy. While only at his modest height, his stance and personal demeanor have caused him time and time again to somehow appear larger and far more intimidating than he really is, which doesn't help when his default expression is one of faint annoyance and superiority. While he dominantly wears fine suits and other formal wear at his job, saying Irix was into wearing much clothing would be a bit of an overstatement. His default clothing is simply a black longcoat, blue jeans, a belt and boots. No shirt to speak of, as truth be told Irix prefers the effect he gets without one, and he kind of seems to have a bit of a thing against shirts in the first place.

PERSONALITY

Irix is, put bluntly, a bit of a jackass. He has quite a bit of a problem with trusting people, and tends to keep them all well at a distance for his own personal reasons. "Like" is a rather strong word in his book, and as such he'll only rarely admit to someone that he even so much as appreciates their company. He's analytical and decidedly sincere, though has a mean streak a mile wide and just as long and seems to see himself as being a bit above any of those he comes across. He doesn't care for the opinions of others, and will just as easily do his own thing as find others who would be willing to help him for some reason.

He's far from being easy to get along with, though has proven to be a rather brilliant moderator for a variety of tense situations. Beware making him angry though. Irix is far from being a pleasant individual when he's angry. It should be noted though, that while he's decidedly an ass and is far from easy to get along with, he will fiercely protect those he deems worthy of it, and will remain far from idle when someone undeserving is being attacked.

BIOGRAPHY

Born to a rough and tumble family, Irix spent much of his younger years getting into fights. He never found himself able to exactly care too much about other people, and after an incident with a would-be friend his trust in other individuals began to fade. Several years later, and an incident with his father found 13 year old Irix Black on his own, his body bruised and battered but having left his father in critical condition. Irix fled his home, and a year later found himself somehow attending Silver Falls, through a series of events he himself can no longer properly recall.

His years at the Academy could definitely be seen as eventful. While he continued to get into fights, Irix proved himself to be a star student, and graduated Valedictorian in his senior year. The growth in his powers had forced him to cover his right eye with an eyepatch, however, due to a realization in his second year that his right eye acted as a far better, albeit more uncontrolled, focus for his first power. The origins behind his powers are ones that Irix himself keeps well hidden, and in some situations he actually tends to forget them entirely, his mind fooling itself into believing he's simply always had them. Which leads to an interesting conclusion that they surfaced shortly before the altercation with his father that forced him into running away as a much younger child.

After graduation, Irix found himself rather swiftly wrapped up in college. Always one for challenges, he embraced the chance wholeheartedly, and for the first time managed to avoid getting into fights for just as long as it took for him to get his degree. Now having found himself once more back at the Academy- this time as a teacher- he seeks to prove that no matter what your circumstance, you can, and WILL succeed. All it takes...

...is grit, and Determination.
