Distinctions

Son of Stone and Shadow: You can feel the space in solid matter and cling to it to gain finger and toe holds where there are none.

True Son: Whatever sired you into the world knew a lot about the spaces in between. Take or step up a Freak! complication to step up or double Physical for an action to take advantage of the spaces in between to reach into and cling to and move through apparently solid surfaces. Spend a PP to do both.

Walker of the Ways Between: In the spaces Between you can touch the streams of the Neverwhen and Walk those Ways to appear elsewhere in the mortal realm in no time at all.

Silver Tongued Angel: Sometimes it's best to downplay your strength when pouring on the charm. Step back Physical for the scene to step up or double Social for an action. Spend a PP to do both.

Flip the Script: Ya don't smell so sweet to the folk in charge, but the bloke you just deflected their attention from is all grins and smiles. When you draw down the attention of authority on yourself to protect a friend, classmate, or someone who can't help themselves, earn a PP.

A Dance of Blood and Iron: Tiny framed mirrors - squares, circles, triangles, shards - Trick is constantly making them in his free time and tucking then in his shirt, his jacket, his socks, and his pants pockets.

Shooting in the Dark: Sometimes you aint got control of a situation but you still hafta act. Gain 1 PP when you use your power without engaging a reflective surface you own or control.

Relationships

Briil (Valet): Briil is an elemental being of the Neverwhen, occupying maybe two cubic feet in the mortal realms but so much more in the Ways. He is invisible to most but might be seen as a shimmer of elemental energy to those that can sense such things. To Trick he looks like a small humanoid in swirls of silver. blue, and black energy that either prefers humanoid form or thinks Trick prefers him in that form. Trick likes to believe Briil has his own reasons to have befriended him, but is more than a little suspicious the creature operates at someone else's bidding. Spies were a thing to be expected when you were of royal blood.

Jayne Cobb (Student; No relation): Jayne is a year ahead of Trick but his absentee parents and hers orbit similar circles and they have known each other since they were children under the supervision of the same (seemingly) hapless nanny who could neither block his teleportation or reckless climbing anymore than she could stop Jayne from summoning swarms of rodents, insects, and birds within the manse. She wears a loud orange knit cap after the style of the Northron Kingdoms year round regardless of weather and carries a pair of bone dice with iron pips wherever she goes, a magical token of her affiliation with the Cobb clan.

Nanny Hobble MacEyrie (Fae Changeling//Childhood Nanny): Though he spent his childhood tormenting the poor woman that he thought was defenseless against magic, he came to learn the woman was wily and practically made of magic. And that she loved him more dearly than his parents ever had.

Power

Reflection Magic: Trick can transfer matter or energy through any reflective surface currently reflecting it and out another such surface within range. *

I Spy with my Mirrored Eye: You can use any reflective surface near you to see out of a reflective surface within range. Spend a PP to connect a mirror in your possession to one within range for the remainder of the scene. Only one such connection can be made at a time. It can be broken at will but costs another PP to activate a new connection.

Limit: Must be a reflective surface to hand and one reflective surface in range.

Pop Goes the Weasel: Roun' n roun' th mulb'ry bush, Monkey chased th Weasel. Monkey thought it all was fun, until Weasel pulled a gun. When you step into danger to use your power defensively, step up or double Magical for an action. Spend a PP to do both.

Limit: Must be a reflective surface to hand and one reflective surface in range.

* School grounds and surrounding environs sound fair for "range"?

Bio

Trick suspects he might not be entirely human. He looks entirely human, if of the plainer end of the human spectrum in appearance. Unfortunately his magical power could point to earth magics, shadow magics, or even reflection magics. That last one comes closest, but usually refers to illusions and what he did was anything but illusory.

Cops see a lot of shit. The cops who were on call when his parents went over the uptown bridge weren't the sort to pretend they didn't see the shit they saw.

They had adopted him eyes wide.

His dads were great. Not a magical finger between the twenty they possessed. But lots of love, lots of understanding of the things boys went through, and when the magic thing hit with puberty it didn't even phase them. They got him in touch with the right people and got him in the right school.

Their recent move meant a new school, but it was another Magical school, and that was what he needed.
