Character Bio by :iconsonicinterface:


Symeon the Cat

:bulletblack:Age: 13
:bulletyellow:Gender: M
:bulletblack:Specialty: Restoration
:bulletyellow:Occupation: Artist
:bulletblack:Relatives: Two parents, no siblings

Personality: Symeon is a very prim-and-proper person. He can barely stand to see people behave rudely, or things lie around out of place. He'll always report all such circumstances to the person in charge, and try to fix them if possible. He's quite devoted to painting, and always keeps his tools of the trade handy, but he's also always willing to chat with other people, even if it means delaying his latest masterpiece by a notable length of time.

Abilities: Symeon has the power to restore broken objects in the environment by simply painting pictures of how they ought to be. For example, if a bridge has collapsed, Symeon simply has to illustrate its original state and it returns immediately. To perform this, Symeon has to be present at the site of the object he's restoring when he's painting it- he can't paint it from afar- and it doesn't work if no trace of the broken object remains (for example, if the aforementioned bridge and its foundations are all gone, Symeon can't paint them back).

History: Symeon took an interest in art at an early age. He painted his first work when he was eight, and from there he escalated. His specialty was architecture: towers, bridges, churches, and so forth. His paintings were as realistic as photographs, some people said.
Then it happened. An orphanage in Symeon's hometown was half demolished by terrorists. Saddened by the loss of such a building, Symeon visited the site every day as he worked on a painting of the orphanage as it used to look. Can you guess what happened next?
As soon as Symeon added the last touch to his painting, a huge commotion broke out nearby. When he looked up, he saw why: the orphanage had magically restored itself in an instant. Not yet aware that it was his doing, Symeon sold the painting, then went home.
The next day, some prankster broke Symeon's bay window. Recalling the orphanage, Symeon decided to test a wild hypothesis of his, and painted a quick depiction of what the window had looked like before. Sure enough, the window became as good as new.
Finding glory and hope in his new talent, Symeon set out to perform bigger and better repairs. Soon he earned a new reputation, as an artist that could literally repair things by painting them. He plans to visit the entire world and restore everything.
