Gender: M


Age: 23
Nationality/Ethnicity: Welsh and English.


Birthplace: London .


Personality: Someone who can be easily influenced, Sweeney is on the tip of becoming good or evil. Generally a nice person, Sweeney tends to take things too far when under a rage, so he has learned to control his anger. Unless around good friends, he keeps to himself and avoids trouble. Sweeney can be classified and has been known to turn around and elbow people in the face.


Notes (Hobbies, Phobias, Worries, ect.): Hobbies include video gaming, reading, and outlining and creating puppets.

He fears that one day, he will somehow mess up in life, sending himself spiraling into the dark side.

Allegiance (Good, Bad, or Neutral): Neutral.

Pajamas: bright blue shirt and pajama pants. There are designs of teddy bears on them as well.

Hair color and style: Sweeney’s hair is jet black, but under bright lights his hair has a shade of purple. His hair is long enough to have his bangs barely fall over his right eye. Most of his hair parts over the right side of his head as well.
Eye color: A haunting dark purple.


Height: 5’9”

Scars: No scars.

Description of ability(ies): A psychic who can create strings from his fingers and can attach to humans and manipulate their limbs. These strings can also be used on puppets and then allow the puppet to move under the control of the user. The strings are created with psychic energy and therefore cannot be broken through physical attacks. The strings connect to the limbs of the beings to be controlled. With the exception of puppets, Sweeney can only manipulate humans. Sweeney can only carry on so many puppets at a time and can only use puppets he owns or not under use. Cannot control dead beings or destroyed puppets. In order to use his ability, Sweeney cannot release strings under intense anger. If strings are already out, then the anger rule does not apply as they are already connected. Due to the lack of strings that can be released at once, only two beings/puppets can be controlled at one time.


Cons (weaknesses) of ability(ies):
Puppet weakness: Dust, clouds of dust and such or other fine particles such as sand or dirt, things like that tend to clog up his puppets and immobilize them from action
weakness to human control: Controlling humans takes alot of his energy especially if they struggle alot since he is competing with their willpower and he cannot control a puppet and human at the same time, with much more practice he may learn to control a human and puppets at the same time but for the time being he can't


Fighting style (if any): Manipulates others to fight for him as wells as puppets. Sweeney can control two beings at once, one for each hand, each finger manipulating one limb, unless a puppet is not human-shaped. He carries fold-up durable handmade puppets that immediately fold out as soon as he wants as well as combine into one puppet. Since the puppets are to be controlled by strings, he is able to swing his puppets around as if he was wielding a mace. His puppet arsenal includes a 5'5" Bird which is able to fly and be mounted for aerial combat which can be folded for transportation, a 5'7" Ostrich that can be mounted and has excellent running capabilities, peck by extending its neck, and block most heavy physical attacks with its wings, a 5'4" human shaped puppet that is also able to fold and is otherwise a human puppet, a 6'8" mole puppet that can controlled from the inside, has enormous claws that can be used for digging and attacking, a rotatable waist for multiple enemy combat, and compartments to hold 6 other puppets. The mole cannot fold like other puppets and therefore turns into a mole tank that can dig and run enemies over. Currently working on the 3'7"spider that can be used as a shield and has jumping capabilities and carries a limited round of tommy gun bullets in its mouth and is 7'1" in radius. All puppets are mountable except for the human, unless you wanna go piggyback.

History of your character: A violent child, his criminal record forced his parents to relocate to the U.S. where they bought a house in Vermont. It was here they thought that the calming suburbs would suppress the amount of fights he would be involved in. He was 10 at the time, and when he turned 13, he endured a massive amount of bullying from a trio of students at his junior high. The amount of pain he received and the pressure of trying to restrict his anger caused his power to awaken, and launched the head bully into a dumpster. Hearing their child involved in a fight caused his parents to worry. Until he was 15, he didn't quite understand his ability until he got a girlfriend and managed to move her dolls when she wasn't around. Since then, he has been obsessed with his ability, but was tired of controlling mere toys. He attended a theatre class and learned how to construct puppets, usually suprising the rest of the class at the complexity of his work. When he graduated at 18, he had developed over 20 puppets and decided to attend classes in New York. At 22, he moved into an apartment where he now resides, developing puppets like his 5'5" bird, his ride able 5'7" Ostrich, his 5'4" human shaped puppet, and his 6'8" mole that he is able to control from the inside, has compartments to hold 6 puppets and can fold into a mole-tank, his latest work, taking 4 years since the start of college to complete.


Sample RP: It was the last day of school and the tension of being a senior gathered inside of the students. Sweeney walked along the halls of the school, taking in his final breaths before the bell rang. It would be something he would miss.

The students ran to their freedom and Sweeney watched. He waited as the last of the students departed, and then snuck back into the school. He opened his backpack and pulled out a complex piece of wood that quickly opened up, folding out into a human-like marionette. Sweeney walked behind it as he led it to the principal's office. Changes in grades were required if he wanted to graduate, and he did.

“Okay, what now…” said Sweeney as he pulled out the keyboard. He then sat down as the puppet stood guard at the door. The sound of typing beat into Sweeney’s ears as he watched his Ds turn into Bs and As.

“I think we’re done, thank you for waiting.” He thanked the inanimate puppet as he once again took control of the once still object. As he left the school, he looked at the front doors, proud of what he had just done. On the way home, guilt began to succumb him, but he knew it was for the best.
