Name: Comet
Canon: Original
Canon point: 3 months on earth, Two months into the school year, Comet's stepmom finds out about her son's dangerous side job.
Age: 17

History:
Comet is from the moon and from a generation of priests and priestesses. The people of the moon are a superstitious sort, being descended from the humans chosen by the God of the moon as his servants in ancient times and given long lives. They're also really bureaucratic about supernatural business and distant from earthly and human matters in every sense of the word. Their mother was one such moon priestess, but she was far more interested in the earth from a more mundane point of view and wanted to experience those things for herself. She fathered a hybrid child with a human man when she visited earth, and that's Comet. Their mother was punished and banned from visiting the earth, and in fact is still imprisoned (house arrest) at her family's shrine. She also had to take Comet back with her and raise them on her own.

Comet had a pretty quiet childhood on the moon, and enjoyed hearing the stories of nature on earth from his Mother with her collection of artwork and books. Due to having a much shorter lifespan than a normal Moon Person, the citizens often treat Comet with a distant politeness at best, and like a familiar/servant of their family at worst. They didn't mind at first, as they found those people pretty stiff. To their annoyance though, any attempts to be cheeky or cause mischief are seen as insignificant, perhaps because of their status, or because the mother's prevailing sin outweighs whatever Comet could do. As a young adult with their mother's blessing, they ran away to Earth.

Thankfully, they're able to reunite with their father in a coastal town that's been mostly spared by the calamities that ruined the rest of the country. Unfortunately, he has already remarried and is currently very ill, which complicates Comet's wish to bring their family back together. The mother and son from a prior marriage are happy to take Comet in however, being gentle souls who notice that their ailing second husband/stepfather appreciates this new "friend" keeping him company. They sign them up for their high school under a fake name and pretend Comet is a visiting relative. Jokingly as repayment, Comet works for the family's shop part time and helps their step-brother with his other job, which involves exploring the ruined world outside of town. They think it's a fun activity that is totally not suspicious, and they get to live a mostly normal life for now. Win-win.

Powers:
Humans in Comet's world are born with affinities for certain kinds of magic and with varying levels of aptitude. However, it has to be amplified with artifacts or making deals with the supernatural in order to be used as spells and abilities. Comet is technically under the latter category, and they say how they can use this magic is a secret.

Gravity Magic: Comet's natural affinity because half Moon Person. It's basically support stuff, like slowing down enemies or boosting their allies' agility. It can be used offensively to break things, but Comet can only use that on objects, not people. Also physically/spiritually stronger objects are harder to break and Comet will get exhausted. The motions to cast it are done with their hands.

Purification: They learned this from their mother as a part of usual shrine practices. It's basically a debuff or status ailment cleanse (maybe buff removal if they want to be mean. They can use it on not only people, but objects and small areas. A quiet, focused prayer would be used for smaller things, and something like a practiced traditional dance would be for larger objects or areas.

Fishing:
I just put this here to be funny. They've gotten quite good at it!

MANDATORY QUESTIONS
- Of all the things you own or have owned, what is the most important to you? My mom gave me one of her old souvenirs for good luck. It's an omamori from a shrine on Earth.

- Where is it you feel most at peace, or most whole?
I feel most at peace… At any place by the sea. Even better if you can get your feet wet, but walking close by is enough.

- Describe what gives you the most strength.
The little achievements in a day of getting things done, learning something new… Those give me strength. I don't want to ask for a lot.

OPTIONAL QUESTIONS
- What is more important to you: embracing your individuality, or preserving the status quo?
I think I have to say individuality, because I've seen a lot of the status quo upheld where I'm from. It's terrible…

- Ultimate power comes at the cost of community. Being a part of a community comes at the cost of great power. Which would you choose?
I don't want ultimate power, or for someone else to have it at the cost of a community. That's how the Earth ended up the way it did.

- Do you consider the rules and laws to be an important part of society? How so?
Yes, but only as some sort of direction, not as a restriction. Too many and then I think they should be changed or broken.

- Do you forgive easily, or do you hold grudges?
Give me a bit of time, and maybe I'll forgive if it's outweighed by more important things. But I won't if it's something painful.

- Have you ever made a promise you can't keep?
No, and I'd like to keep it that way. The guilt would be unmeasurable, just ask my mom.

- What are you most proud of?
I caught a really big fish at the beach! It was delicious when cooked.

- What would you describe as your weakness?
I really wish I could do more for the people important to me. They support me, but I want to give back and don't know how.

- Name one thing you refuse to compromise on, and why.
I think all beings are created equal and deserve to find their own place in the world. That's all.

- What is your one wish or greatest desire?
I wish for my family to be together, even if only for a short time.

- What piece of classical literature best represents you, and why?
Oh, I've read some… I think the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, even if it's kinda obvious because Kaguya is from the moon. I also want to see if those weird treasures exist.

- What animal would you want to be?
A manta ray, because they are large and unbothered. They have them at the big aquarium, they're so graceful…

- What is your favorite color? Why?
I guess it's midnight blue, because it's the color of the sea and the color of the night sky.

- What is your favorite flower? Why?
Night-blooming jasmine. It smells nice and I like how the flowers look like little stars. My step-mom grows them.

- What arcana best represents you? Why?
[ Assuming they were given a copy of Tarot for Dummies for a brief idea on this: ]

Wheel of Fortune… Or is it just the Fortune arcana? Life has ups and downs, while things repeat and make cycles. I also know about things that are believed to affect fortune, living in a shrine and all.

- Cats or dogs?
Both are great though… Okay, cats because we both like seafood.
