tab tab tab → Name: Patrick Lockheart
tab tab tab tab ↳ Nickname: He prefers Rick to Paddy, but both are okay, just don't call him 'late for dinner' wink
tab tab tab → Age: 17 18 with the new year
tab tab tab → Gender: Male
tab tab tab → Sexuality: Undecided
tab tab tab → Kingdom: Langfrey
tab tab tab → Knit: Diviner
tab tab tab tab ↳ Raiment: Spiritual Link
tab tab tab tab tab ↳ Patrick Lockheart has the ability to see and converse with those who have passed over into the afterlife. The Spirits do not have the ability to harm him alone and vice versa, yet some spirits such as Poltergeist can cause objects to move which may be used as weapons... If a Spirit does make physical contact, the one touched may feel a chill/shiver sensation. The advantages of his Raiment are obviously having the ability to negotiate with some spirits, although not all spirits are able to communicate and once they know you can see them, unless 'dispelled' or sent into the afterlife, they will often haunt the user until they can be vanquished...
Patrick has a Secondary Ability which allows him to link spiritually with Branwen - the White Raven - and only if she wills it, see the skies through her eyes, but this is on Her terms, not his.
Linking his Secondary Ability with his Raiment, Patrick uses Branwen as a conduit for helping those seeking to move on, to cross over into the afterlife - After negotiating with the spirits - or sometimes those leaving the terrestrial plane, he advises them to follow the Raven, watching as she takes off before occasionally witnessing the journey through his friend's eyes. When Patrick is 'with her' he often sits himself somewhere out of the way as watching 'alone' can leave him open to attack/assault.
→ Stat Growth:
↳ Control: 5
1. Can see all Spirits as Orbs but cannot interact with them
2. 'Orbs' now take a faint astral form, interaction is still unavailable, but both parties are now aware something else is within their presence.
3. User and Entity are now aware of each other, Spirits begin to take on a more misty-like astral form, user cannot dispel them without aid or having assisted the entities themselves, but communication is now possible.
4. Spirits are now more solid in their astral form. User is beginning to learn ways of how to 'help' some spirits and how to dispel weaker troublesome entities. User can now begin to focus on a particular spirit over the many.
5. User can now 'tune out' some spirits, learning to hide himself from their eye so he is not harassed by the masses seeking his council. Now has a greater knowledge as to how to assist and can dispel entities of medium strength with assistance.
6. With more Experience on assisting spirits, able to dispel/help Medium entities alone. Also more capable of tuning out unwanted spirits and hide himself better.
7. Hiding his aura from spirits is much easier, user is able to differentiate between residual and intelligent entities, knowing what kinds of items/trinkets can be used to help dispel/dumb down both sorts.
8. User is recognised among the spirits, but can be hard to find as now capable of shielding himself altogether. Able to assist/dispel stronger spirits, communication between entities is almost like conversing with any other living soul.
9. Strong Entities are less of a challenge to dispel/assist, user has full knowledge as to how to deal with troublesome entities and can confidently assist those with lesser skills to improve. (Poltergeist will always be an issue, but the user knows how to deal with them confidently now)
↳ Range: 5
1. Can only sense/see spirits in User's immediate area 1" Radius in person. Spirits are seen as Orbs when using "Shared Sight Union" (SSU) with Companion and take at least a week to recover from fully from after effects.
2. 2" Radius in person - Using SSU, Spirits are faint, but noticeable and takes 6 days to recover
3. 4" Radius in person - Using SSU, Spirits are more visible, Takes 5 days to recover,
4. 6" Radius in person - Using SSU, Spirits are more frequent, seen as pale shades amongst normal folk, Takes 4 days to recover
5. 8" Radius in person - Using SSU, Spirits appear as solid as normal folk, only with a noticeable aura. SSU Takes 3 days to recover
6. 10" Radius in person. Can sense an area is inhabited by a spirit, but will not know exactly where - SSU Takes 2 days to recover
7. 15" Radius in person. Can sense spirits lie in certain rooms as he passes them by, but cannot pinpoint directly - After effects from SSU are less frequent/take less time to recover.
8. 20" Radius in person. Can tell which houses are haunted and a good idea which levels/rooms are inhabited - After effects from SSU are rare, but may occur if used more than twice in a day.
9. 30" Radius in person. Can sense spirits but also knows how to 'turn it off' when needed. With Companion's assistance (using SSU) user is able to plot on a map where spirits are located - User is no longer affected by the union.
↳ Technique:
1. User is like 'the new kid in school' nobody wants to talk to them, spirits just walk right on through, any attempt to make contact is ignored.
2. 1/10 success at communicating with spirits, most continue about their business ignorant of the user. Contact is nothing more than a glimmer of interest but user is left quite drained afterwards.
3. 3/10 successful attempts give the user enough confidence to try new things - contact is brief, but acknowledgement is obtained a small percentage of the time. User feels less drained, but still needs to rest afterwards.
4. 5/10 attempts are successful, contact now lasts longer with the user able to begin trying to help, rest is still a necessity following interactions.
5. Confident enough in the ability to try new methods of contact/conversation, interactions now allow for some negotiation/intelligent return. Contact requires less effort and so time required to rest afterwards is reduced. User needs to remain vigilant as new entities are not always pleasant. If a negative spirit is involved, the user needs to rest for a longer period afterwards.
6. 7/10 attempts now successful, conversations now last longer and the user begins learning how to differentiate between positive and negative entities.
7. 8/10 successful attempts, user now learns how to deal with positive and negative entities, how to approach/avoid them and how to preserve his energy. Can attempt contact with more than one spirit within the day but rest is compulsory if multiple contact is made.
8. 9/10 successful attempts at contact, user is now more confident in telling the difference between positive and negative spirits, dealing with them accordingly whilst maintaining enough energy. Rest is still advised, but not necessary.
9. User can make contact with any willing spirit, confident in dealing with any type of entity and coming to a positive outcome the majority of the time. Rest is no longer compulsory and multiple contacts can be made throughout the day if necessary.

𝓒𝓱𝓪𝓻𝓪𝓬𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓲𝓼𝓽𝓲𝓬𝓼
tab tab tab → Body Physique: Slim, yet muscular
tab tab tab → Strengths:
tab tab tab tab ↳ Strong Lungs: Having had to rely mostly on the sea and rivers for his food, Patrick has learnt to hold his breath underwater for greater expanses of time.
tab tab tab tab ↳ Physically Strong: As a traveler, Rick was required to haul in fishing nets and help push the caravans if they became stuck or the horses became lame, Rick has built up his tab tab tab tab tab tab strength to complete these tasks more easily.
tab tab tab tab ↳ Decisive: With several 'Brothers' sharing the continual journey around Valor, Patrick has learnt to make swift decisions, or miss out.
tab tab tab → Weaknesses:
tab tab tab tab ↳ Lonely Reflective: Having assisted many a soul into the afterlife - some of which were close loved ones, Rick sometimes finds that when he's alone, he can't keep his thoughts from tab tab tab tab what has passed. Once the spirits have crossed over, he feels he will only ever meet them again when he finally moves into the afterlife himself.
tab tab tab tab ↳ Counselor to the Dead: When he's not recalling those who have passed, Rick is trying to work out how to help those trying to cross. The dead are almost always looking for a way tab tab tab tab across the bridge into the afterlife and so he acts as a counselor, listening to their tales in the hope that somehow he can find a way to assist in their passing.
tab tab tab tab ↳ Treats everyone Equally: Where some may see this as an advantage, with Rick having grown up with mostly male influences in his life, he is used to pranks and particular ways of tab tab tab tab acting and so sometimes forgets not everyone thinks the same, this can also lead to misunderstandings from those of the fairer gender.
tab tab tab → Unique Features: Patrick is almost always accompanied by Branwen - His White Raven friend, other than that, he has Ginger Hair and freckles,
tab tab tab → Personality: Patrick has a happy-go-lucky side to life, he's always up for fun and sometimes comes across as a little cocky - This acts like a mask to cover up the side dealing with tab tab tab tab what feels like all the woes of the world... At times when he is alone, Rick finds himself thinking about all those who have passed, or the problems of those hoping to cross over and tab tab tab tab this sometimes leaves him feeling a little lonely or distant...
tab tab tab → Likes:
tab tab tab tab ↳ Arts: A dab hand at the Violin, yet also commended for his singing, Patrick likes a good sing song, he can often be found in his room playing the violin - with different songs tab tab tab tab tab tab reflecting his moods and feelings.
tab tab tab tab ↳ Quiet Time: With a natural preference to just sit on the beach and listen to the waves, Rick finds solitude in quiet places, be it reading a book or just staring at the world as it tab tab tab tab tab passes him by...
tab tab tab tab ↳ Mischief and Practical Jokes: Boredom happens to the best of us...One way to pass the time is through mischief and practical jokes.
tab tab tab → Hates/Fears:
tab tab tab tab ↳ Poltergeist: Noisy Ghosts are trouble. They're unpredictable and often very hard to pin down/deal with - If faced with such a being that he feels it too much of a challenge, Rick tab tab tab tab tab might seek the assistance of those with more advanced skills.
tab tab tab tab ↳ Close-Minded People: "Just because you can't see something doesn't mean it's not there - you can't see air, yet you breathe it!" Mocked by those who have caught him talking to tab tab tab tab himself, Rick has come to have very little patience with people who see only what they will, rather than looking past their noses...
tab tab tab tab ↳ Taphephobia Fear of being buried alive - Patrick has heard many a tale from the dead of how they had perished within a small, cramped coffin, scratching at their wooden confines tab tab tab tab until their very last breath... It's not something he ever wants to replicate.

↳ Born to a family of travelers who originated from Langfrey, Patrick grew up along the Valor coastline, learning how to swim and hunt from an early age whilst helping his brothers haul in the nets so their family could eat. As they were always on the move, it was difficult for Rick to make many friends and so rather than hang out with his noisy brethren all the time, he often sought out the peace and solitude of the surrounding scenery and wandered off on his own to explore.
In the beginning, his family found it hard to define the youth's abilities and would become more perplexed when Patrick was discovered talking to himself, or generally disappearing off into his own world whilst staring out at the tide (Away with the faeries as his Uncle put it - which he kinda was.) It was presumed that after discovering a young, white, chick - a Raven barely hanging onto life and seemingly disowned by her family because of her colour - that he was in fact speaking to the bird, which, he was in a way - but this was only part of the story. Branwen (aka beautiful raven) when she recovered, became a close friend who would show him the world above - if he wished it - She would allow Rick to see the world through her eyes, yet it was at the Raven's choice not his and she could grant him such sights at her own will.
It was only after his Grandmother became sick and passed over that the rest of his family discovered that Patrick in fact had the ability to speak with those who had passed on - This would explain why he was often found alone, talking to himself. Although he has 'The Sight' very few spirits actually notice him and strike up a conversation which he doesn't mind at all.
After setting up camp along the shoreline of Valor, Patrick would leave his family for the day with the plan to find a good place to sit and watch the waves - it was as he was watching the ocean that he would spot an island in the distance - This Island was Eoana.
Naturally curious, he would ask Branwen to scout the scene, sitting back against the rocks to watch the advancing scene through her eyes - It seemed to be a fascinating place, but with the ocean separating them, the Raven would eventually turn back, landing on the rocks beside him and taking a moment to preen the sea air from her feathers.
It was from this initial glance that Patrick would become very interested in exploring this new island - After speaking to his uncle about it, the man agreed to find someone who would give him safe passage to the isle and from there, Patrick would enroll in the Academy.
This year will be his Second - After returning across the sea to visit his family as they once again relocated to that same cove, he would decide that The Academy was a place he wanted to stay and grow and so he has returned - With Branwen once again by his side.
