Description: Dechiori is a well nourished child of an average family with a slightly below average height and average weight.
He is almost always seen with a light blue, triangle patterned winter cap, even in summer, and a light blue hoodie that compliments it. Underneath his hoodie he wears a thin black t-shirt. Rarely, he switches out for a gray trench coat and wears a white undershirt instead. His shoes differ between silver shaded sneakers to light blue boots.
His hair is soft and hard to style without using any products, which he dislikes, so after a year of just keeping it short, Dechiori decided to just leave it at how it is now and cover it with a hat. Another reason for the hat is that his ears are a bit smaller than normal and it is embarrassing for this to be pointed out according to him.
Dechiori isn't a super work hard hell yeah kind of guy and he had a calm, decent early life, so he isn't really muscular, nor is he overweight.
PERSONALITY
Drifting, Dreaming, Aspiring.
Personality: Dechiori is a calm young man that has big hopes in his heart about the future, believing that limiting one's self is the worst possible thing to do, he always keeps an open mind and is kind of an opportunity seeker. This kind of thought-process had indeed made him turn into a goody two shoes, however he doesn't seem to notice or mind. He dreams big, sometimes in ways that it would be counted as out of common sense. To fulfill the desire for excitement and new-ness and to leave behind his average, simple, boring past; he is, within limits, reckless and curious.
While he is a bright kid at heart, and had the life of an average mage-family, there are some shards stuck deep within him. Because of his father's problems with the main family and their eventual escape, he grew up always placed in a path away from excitement, he was taught that normality was the best, that being average was the only method of living a good, normal life.
He was always an odd kid, his sexuality even causing more problems among all else. However, for Dechiori it wasn't the fact that it created friendship problems, but the fact that it was against his father's idea of being average. What he was taught to do, was to get a job, do not practice magic, get married, have kids, and live without any danger. Dechiori was more than ready to satisfy the needs of his father, however, his side that didn't want limits clashed with who he was and gifts he was given, and in the end, it ended up with a huge blown fight, causing him to leave his surname behind and start his own life from a scratch.
While he never really was alone or left behind, the event of him leaving his family behind did leave a small scratch that he tried to fill by trying to create relationships with others.
Due to a numerous amount of problems with his friends when he was young, Dechiori connects to his friends quickly and is afraid of losing them. Numerous days and nights spent in the forest thinking and meeting with animals manifested themselves as a gift of being able to get along with them almost magically, which he kept a secret from his dad, not that it was a big thing, but just to be sure.
Overall, he is a blank canvas that is ready to be shaped by his future, aiming for not big things, but things of wildest fantasies that would normally be in novels.
Motivations: Dechi is fascinated by his own dreams and has a big desire to fulfill them. He is motivated by the uncertainty and the mystery of the future and the days to come by. By this point he had allowed himself to go with the flow as he stays true to himself, and to never limit himself. He is quite excited about finally joining a guild and going on adventures, and maybe even getting strong enough to leave a mark on this world and lead a powerful organization. So he is quite boring despite his wishes.
Fears:
- Insects.
- Being stuck ordinary.
- Failing the life of a mage and returning home.
- Isolation
Dechi fears three things more than anything else.
He is terrified of bugs of any sort. While he isn't the type that would take the life of one, his days spent hiding from bullies in dark corners spent with bugs and rats left a scar never to be healed. Due to his weird allergy to them, this experience was doubled in how harrowing it was and he is afraid of severe damage this allergy can do.
His other fear is failing his life as a mage and having to go back to his father and live with his rules, if he would even accept. Which ties into his third fear, his fear of staying average. He wants to leave a mark on the world, his big dreams are mostly from this wish of his. To transcend the simplicity that has been following him akin to a curse.
Due to running away from home, he feels a small loneliness inside, which sometimes swell up to a fear of having no friends and being an outcast.
Likes:
- Nature.
- Divination.
- Exploration.
- Clockwork ones being primary, small mechanisms.
Dechiori enjoys nature and night time. His interest in divination makes him lean towards astrology and he greatly enjoys watching the stars. He even has a tarot deck of his own that he found in a cave when he was little and exploring that he still trying to solve the mysteries of. He is told that his readings are quite accurate which drives him to practice even more.
Exploring is something that feels great to Dechiori. Now that he could do it freely without having to sneak out or etc, he spends a lot of time doing so.
He loves dealing with clockwork. If someone has a problem with their watch or something similar, he will probably go there before they even ask for help just to see the mechanical part. Eventually, after many hours spent taking apart and placing back watches, he increased his finger dexterity. Sound of ticking clock and the winding up sound of any kind makes him relaxed almost immediately.
He also enjoys anything out of the ordinary, assuming it's not a huge, dangerous thing.
Dislikes:
- Prolonged stubbornness.
- Laziness.
- Boredom.
- Insects.
- Crammed spaces.
While he is quite agreeable and won't immediately show that he is displeased, there are some character traits that really rub him the wrong way. He doesn't enjoy prolonged stubbornness, a little bit is fine, it directs one; but taking it too far just annoys him.
He also dislikes laziness, given that he had worked hard to get where he is now, and immediately assumes the same thing from his peers. Although it is displeasing, he isn't the type that would explode with anger if he was faced with such behavior.
Which ties into this, his dislike of boredom and sitting around. He demands excitement, to feel alive, which is why he is so interested in the guild missions.
While it is not a phobia level thing, crammed spaced bare too many bad memories for him to like or be neutral towards them. As long as there is another way, he probably wouldn't choose to go near them.
To count the other small things, he doesn't like slimy textured anything, hot places, any meat except the chicken like ones, summer and spring. But it's not like he becomes a shut in or super angry when these things happen.

MAGIC
Magic: Clockwork
Type: Caster
Element: None
Description: Clockwork magic is based around the idea of summoning clockwork-themed creations using magic circles to manifest various effects. At it's core it is very simple and just a knack away from being a molding magic. Dechiori can use this magic to summon sharp clock hands, cogs and even create mechanical one-use items to help him in certain situations. Clockwork cannot control time itself.
Dechiori taught himself this type of magic after figuring out his talent. It is unknown if his talent came from the magical ability that was always inside him or if the magic came from the talent, however, he doesn't want to pander on it. At first, he always felt uneasy and had nightmares as he practiced the magic. However, it seems quite basic and he feels as there is nothing to fear. He is probably wrong.
HISTORY
In a very ironic way, Dechiori's bloodline comes from a family of entertainers, circus ringmasters and fortune tellers. Making their big money on these entertainment sectors, they had lived a good life of fame and fortune. Dechiori's dad, Kyose, however, did not enjoy these things once he was also pushed under the bus of pressure to be good at such sector. Countless fights with their family eventually led to Kyose taking his wife and son away and living a normal, quiet life, with Dechiori being too young to really understand what is going on.His childhood years for him are one of the worst ones. With the importance of having a job increased by his father, Dechiori tried out many things to practice since he was a kid. He found his calling when he accidentally broke an old wall clock. With all of the small, delicate parts inside working together in a union, he was fascinated and played around with it until he was scolded.
Due to his "tendencies" he wasn't very liked among the kids of the neighborhood and had a lot of alone time spent on practicing his clockwork skills and eventually his magic. If he could get better at it, he would be able to have his own shop, which would satisfy his father and get the pressure that he was yet unaware of, off of himself.
As he grew up, he started to feel more and more uneasy about where his life was going. It wasn't like he wanted to be an entertainer and famous, but he definitely didn't want to lead on a boring life either. He started to take his magic practicing much more seriously, sneaking out to the forest at night to train, rest, watch the stars and spend time with animals. During one of his night time expeditions, he came up to a cave with an old looking locked box inside. His curiosity taking the better of him, he managed to crack it open thanks to hi nimble fingers.
Inside he found a surprisingly good quality tarot deck neatly placed. Of course he knew what it was, and with something different fun and new in his hands, he started to practice it in secret, hoping to find any secrets that might be hidden in it.
At the age of 17, all of this exploded in a grand fight with his father, with his mother not knowing which side to take. His father, claiming that he was only wanting a life for Dechiori away from pressure since he was already weak and not driven, angered Dechiori quite a lot, causing him to reveal his clockwork magic for a small instant. When asked about, Dechiori explained everything, even his sexuality and got out of his house and ran away as much as he could. This caused a dreaded sense of loneliness within him, even though he knew it was for the best. This sense of loneliness is what makes him very agreeable and go with whatever people want most of the time to keep being friends with them.
Promising to never return, he stared at the streets bending in front of him. He was going to leave his boring past behind and be ready to shaped by the future and many adventures it would bring.
