The vision is black and white and less sharp than normal; activating this power sees your eyes gleam like a cat's.</em><br/><strong>Stuffed Animal Power 2</strong>-<em>You're able to camouflage yourself, temporarily attaining something like invisibility. Discerning eyes see a shimmer as you move, and it does not hide your scent or sound.</em><br/><strong>Maybe You Could Sing It With Me</strong>-<em>Activating this power allows you to make four temporary copies of yourself. They’re unable to go more than thirty feet from the caster, and are somewhat independent in thought and action. They’re dressed exactly like the caster and possess anything the caster did at the time of summon (eg, microphone, guitar). Able to speak, sing, and physically manipulate the world they are still in actuality just solid illusions. Though they can ‘cast’ the visual effects of your other spells, they can’t copy the actual results beyond noise and light.</em><br/><strong>Baby You’re A Firework</strong>-<em>You’re able to generate pyrotechnic energy plasmoids from your hands, controlling where they go and when they ‘pop’, exploding outward like a firework. They can be in any color, but while they make a noise like a firecracker going off they don’t actually do any damage.</em><br/><br/><strong>Describe your character's home-life. Be sure and include their relationship with parents and any siblings.</strong><em>Liam lives in a small town of not even twenty thousand people. The only reason he’s even at the camp is because he won a scholarship, there’s no way his family would be able to afford it otherwise. <br/><br/>His home-life is… complicated. His Mother left when he was a baby, so he has no memory of her. His Father is a hard man. Not cruel, exactly, but certainly prone to drink and with specific expectations of Liam. His Father runs a local diner, and Liam has worked there after school ever since he can remember. It’s expected that he’ll inherit it and continue running it at some point, but that’s far from Liam’s interest. He’s too interested in seeing the world, in expressing himself, and generally proving that he’s more than some small town hick from a family that can barely afford food. He wants to be a rockstar, a household name.<br/><br/>He loves his Father as much as he’s also somewhat ashamed of him. They don’t see eye to eye and maybe never will. They’d had an explosive argument over Liam going to camp, his Father wanting him to work over the summer. Instead Liam had applied for financial aid himself, and as embarrassing as it was… he’d never felt freer than when he’d hopped in the truck of the first person that was willing to slow down for a hitchhiking teen. <br/><br/>Does he regret leaving? Maybe. But the expectations and that small town are stifling him. He’s meant for so much more, he knows it. He has to be. There has to be more to life than this, right? He’s not going to grow up like his Dad, work in a diner he hates, and drink the nights away.</em><br/><strong>Describe your character's school-life. Are they doing well? What is their relationship like with their teachers and peers?</strong><em>Liam does well in subjects that interest him, and so-so in everything else. He struggles with math, the way everything connects simply doesn’t make sense to him. On the other hand he’s good at chemistry and sciences, particularly in regards to mixing powder compounds for pyrotechnic displays. He’s planning to use the knowledge for his shows in the future, so it’s important to him.<br/><br/>He has okay relationships with his teachers; mostly they’re concerned at the state of his clothing and the fact he rarely has lunch, but his pride doesn’t let him talk about it much. It’s a small town so it isn’t like anyone has much to go around, as far as he’s concerned. <br/><br/>It doesn’t stop the other students from teasing him about the fact. If it’s not his clothing or his grades it’s something else; often his Father, who unfortunately has a reputation around town and has made several drunken displays of himself in public. It’s not a sight any kid wants to have to deal with, let alone having to drag his Dad home and clean up the vomit.<br/><br/>He doesn’t really have any close friends as a result, but then, Liam doesn’t plan to stay in town forever anyway. Who needs them?</em><br/><strong>Describe your character's relationship to the stuffed animal that they brought. How did they acquire it? Did they want to bring it? Are they proud to show it, embarrassed to have it, or something else?</strong><em>It’s just a stuffed animal, it shouldn’t mean much. Really, the truth isn’t glamorous. His Father never let him have stuffed animals, deriding them as ‘too girly’ and a waste of money. The one he has, he’d rescued from the trash. Some Christian stick in the mud Mother throwing out the stuffed animal her kid had bought online. Finders keepers, right? Letting it go to waste didn’t seem right. And sure it’s a little weird, especially in a small town like Greenwood. But so is Liam, right? They’re in the same situation, he and the cat. Too weird, too cool, too different for a tiny town in Colorado. He’d named it Balor after Irish mythology, and totes it around everywhere. Usually in a backpack, there’s no point in risking it getting stolen or damaged, and he wouldn’t put it past some of the kids at school. Maybe it’s a little childish, but damned if he’s going to let embarrassment stop him from doing something he likes. Consequently he sleeps with it, and has a tendency to rant or talk to the cat on bad days. The cat’s the one thing that knows everything about him, like when he’d discovered he liked boys as well as girls, and decided he’d rail against his Father’s prejudice by wearing nail polish.</em><br/><strong>What is the one thing that will make your character most home-sick while they are away?</strong><em>As much as he feels like the answer should be his Dad, the truth is rarely that easy. He’d probably miss one of his teachers, Miss Johnson, most. She’s the one person besides Balor he’s told his dreams to. She’s the school music teacher and despite a lack of budget has always encouraged the kids to go after what they want in life. She seems to really see potential in Liam, and he’s not used to that feeling. It’s nice.</em><br/><strong>What is the one thing your character be happiest to hopefully 'leave behind' while they are away?</strong><em>The expectations of the diner. He doesn’t like cooking and doesn’t think he’s terribly good at it, either, so constantly ends up primarily on cleaning duty. Scrubbing the floors and bussing the tables is not the highlight of his life. Especially when his Dad seems to think it should be something to be proud of, that he’ll inherit the dump someday. He just… needs a break from it all, and a chance to really figure himself out. He’s hoping the camp will be a first step towards getting out of Greenwood for good.</em><br/><strong>What is your character's favorite campfire story and why?</strong><em>The Ghost of Rest Haven. He finds there’s something pleasant about the idea of people, even ghosts, just going out of their way to be nice. The ghost woman was there when the people in the story needed her most, offering them refuge from the storm, and shows that despite first impressions or what something (or someone) SHOULD be, there’s always more to the story.</em>
