▹ persona
With the blood of the god of thunder, lighting, and war inside him, David was known to be a bit of a wild and eccentric kid. He tends to be very competitive always striving to be the strongest, fastest, and smartest. He feels there's a lot of pressure on him from his family to surpass those before him so he may be worthy of holding the mantle of Illapa's legacy. You'll more or less find David training both in his studies or combat, he especially loves to spar with people when given the opportunity. When you get to know him, however, he isn't bloodthirsty or that much of a jock.
David is socially aware and loves being in social settings. He loves being the center of attention and inviting people out for drinks, food, live music, or just talking. He always has something to say when he's in a room with others and despite what people may think about him, they all have the same thing to say about him. He never shuts up. But he knows how to talk and grab people's attention which was why he's well-known or at least he says he is.
David strives for attention from others, mostly because of his abilities and his ambition he believes people should pay attention to him. Not only that but his predecessor, Illapa is a demi-god, being the descendent of a demigod has given David imposter syndrome and hits him whenever he's alone is mostly the reason why he leans into being an extrovert.
▹ file
status: legacy, descendant of Illamas, God of thunder, lightning, and war
grade: senior
dorm: legatum
reputation: david is really active in his university life, most people in the legatum dorm know who he is because he can always be found in the dorm's lounge eating pizza or playing board games with the other students in the dorm. In Mythos' combat sports club, David is one of the club's star pupils. He's one of the best fighters in the club and won a fight in the colosseum once in his junior year. Even in his academics, David is a pretty decent student. He gets straight B's and he always makes nice with his professors after class mainly cause he understands the importance of their insight and asks for help in understanding the material in his classes he has trouble grasping.
▹ abilities
powers:
electrokinesis: of course being the descendent of a thunder and lightning god, david can conjure lighting with his body. This includes shooting lighting from the palm of his hand or punching people with a charged fist.
enhanced stamina: a warrior's strength means nothing if he can't stand in battle. david can last longer in hand-to-hand combat so he always stays quick on his feet and is never really tired which is why he's able to outlast a lot of the people he spars with.
rain manipulation: Illapa broke his sister's jug to fertilize the crops of ancient incan civilization. And so david can make it rain whenever he wants to, but so far he's never had a reason to.
gift (a weapon or an item that was gifted to them upon being sorted into their house): Before he left for Mythos, David was given a chikana. A compass used by the ancient incans. It serves a more spiritual purpose for David, something to remind him of his roots and who he is whenever he finds himself lost in life.
drawbacks
electrokinesis: being a legacy, mortals can't normally shoot lighting out of their bodies. If david exerts his power with powerful strikes or uses his electrokinesis more than he should, he can end up giving himself cardiac issues.
enhanced stamina: david has to maintain a healthy lifestyle so that he's always in peak condition when it comes to having that stamina. he has to exercise and eat healthy enough so that he can do things
rain manipulation: david's legacy status prevents him from creating hurricane-like storms, the most he can do was a downpour and can last only up to an hour.
strengths:
combat: david is more of a grappler than he is a striker. And so he's very flexible and knows how to break limbs and take people down but he knows how to throw a kick and a punch and isn't one to back down from a fight.
persuasion: regardless of the context, david is pretty good at getting his way. He's really good at getting people to open up, mostly due to how social he is.
adaptive: david never got this fair in life being comfortable, he always finds himself comfortable no matter how difficult a situation he finds himself in.
weaknesses:
insecure: his imposter syndrome causes him to feel like he has to prove himself to people around him. If you catch him being vulnerable he might let that slip.
overcompetitive: plagued with the need to prove himself, david sometimes does more than what he does to get ahead of others usually hurting himself mentally and physically.
HISTORY
backstory: david lived a pretty comfortable life, first living in Peru for the first three years of his life when him and his parents moved up to Poughkeepsie, New York. It was pretty easy for him and his family to settle down given he had a lot of relatives in the northeastern U.S. They all worshipped their ancestor god, Illapa pretty frequently. Out of him and his cousins, he was the one to inherit the powers of the patriarch to his clan, Illapa. There were demigods in his family, david inherited his powers from his mother, herself being a demigod although she didn't have the powers that her son had. Because his powers were so similar to Illapa's he put a lot of pressure on himself to prove himself. He trained hard with his mom, aunts, and uncles and faced a lot of hardships trying to reach the physicality and proficiency in his god powers.
It wasn't easy, his harsh training made him feel like he didn't deserve his powers but he didn't talk about it to his family, fearing he would damage his connection to his family. Always learning to harness his powers and become one of the best fighters in the family. But he tried his best to have a normal life outside of his family. Most of his childhood was spent trying to find a life outside of the stress that was training as a legacy. He was active in clubs and student life, forming many relationships with people over the years. So much so that conversation and walking up to people was just so natural to him. Getting accepted into mythos was an interesting change of pace, now he was surrounded by people similar to him and he felt intimidated in his first year.
He felt inferior to the demi-gods he was surrounded by, but he grew accustomed to university life when he tried to become more active in student life in mythos. It was always a push-pull with david. One day he would feel trapped on an island where he felt like he didn't belong and another day he was genuinely happy making friends and becoming one of the most recognizable people on campus.
