Name: Top Eugene Spiegel
Gender: male
Age: 18
Birthday: 05/15
Sexuality: Hetero
Special Characteristics: various healed scars from a lifetime of abuse, odd diet and training resulted in extremely lanky appearance. bandaged face hidden by a harlequin mask that is for all intents unremoveable.
Personality: Explaining Top in a word? Weird. Not just strange or just bizarre, but weird. His personalty shaped by a lifetime of trauma most people would never even dream of. To this day he cant actually look back on it and keeps it all locked up inside. Top outwardly is a very odd jokester, his personality being a jagged mix of kind and sardonic. At a glance he is a overtly cheerful young man with a lot of love of socializing and joking, but anyone who annoys him or he deems as acting mean will be mocked, sometimes subtly, sometimes blatantly, something he has quite a bit of skill in. Due to his odd introduction to socialization, he has almost no sense of personal space and will commonly greet friends and acquaintances alike with hugs. Top has a huge number of what could be called fatal flaws, largely related to his ill social skills. Anything except the most extreme of unspoken social rules are completely lost on him, leading him to be the kind that would speak his mind in the most dire or inappropriate situations, and try to solve any issue with a joke. He also has extremely poor impulse control, visible nowhere better than his habit of chronic hero syndrome, being willing to jump into any situation to help people, possibly dragging his teammates into danger with him. Notably he has no concept of how people may react to his unique appearance, mannerisms or magic. He also has a tendency to speak in rhyme at random. As stated above, he does in fact hold a lot of longstanding pain inside. this can make him very empathetic to another person who has suffered a deep loss. The times he is around someone like that may be one of the few times he cant make a joke. He does have quite an appetite, usually for sweets.
In Battle, once again related to his past trauma, Top never kills...ever. He has spent a lot of time perfecting using his powers in non lethal ways, even his signature petard bombs. In battle, he acts not much different from how he normally acts, although he is clearly capable of focusing more on the task at hand. Top utilizes his training from early life, making him extremely acrobatic and flexible, both to dodge attacks and to unnerve opponents. He can make very rapid acrobatic movements and sometimes breaks into cartwheels or the like while running, or just to move across a room faster. He has trained his body flexibility to the point of being nearly triple jointed, not an easy task (see history) this does little in combat but does allow him to strike some positively deranged poses that unnerve opponents, who may already be off put by his masks cold, eternal smile. Obviously, he would much rather scare an opponent than fight, and usually only resorts to throwing the first punch when something really sets him off, like seeing someone being bullied.
Leadership is not something top would be accused of being a prodigy at. His lack of socialization playing a large factor. While he would be determined to have the team get along and work together, this is more due to his personal ideology, and not about maximum effectiveness. While undoubtedly a decent fighter, Top is not leader material.

General Appearance
Height: 6'11
Weight: 175
Hair: Black with purple tips on the locks, possibly due to his use of chaos magic. it is long, unkempt and spiky, reaching down his back. Sometimes tied with one of the bandages of his face.
Eyes: they eye holes of the mask hide his eyes in shadow. When open or using his magic, one eye glows red, the other remains unseen. Known only to those who directly bother to ask, Top was born with purple.
Skin Tone: very pale
Appearance: Top is undoubtedly the jester, just as he was (horribly) raised. He dresses as a vagabond, having patchwork pants, yellow jester shoes (which he calls banana shoes) and orange socks. A powder blue belt with card suit designs as the buckle (which changes often, implying he has more than one) his purple, long coat, somewhat simulating a wizards robe, with the 4 primary card suits printed on the front, green gloves, and his Harlequin mask which hides his face. He has an assortment of nice hats which he changes often, but most commonly he will either ware a 3 tailed jester cap, or a wide brim hat with a blue feather in it. He is near completely oblivious to his outlandish appearance, at least when not among other wizards who lets face it, have a tendency of being just as quirky as the jester.

Likes:
- sweets, by far his favorite food. To keep him from escaping, he was raised eating a pure vegan diet to keep from building muscle, but he would occasionally sneak some cake, which he loved.
- Animals and kids, cute things in general. Top finds the most unusual things cute, including dragons and demons. While not averse to beating the tar out of something destructive, he tends to look for the most non violent rout, as long as it inst a malevolent force that is bullying people, which sets him off badly.
- competitive fighting. Odd considering his demeanor, but Top is completely fine with fighting as long as it is for fun, or just a friendly competition against rivals. Frankly looking at the show, this is probably the exact opposite of Natsus blood knight tendencies.
Dislikes:
- his mother!
- Bullies. A painful reminder of his past.
- Hypnosis magic. For unknown reasons, Top despises magic used to take over another person.
Motivations:
- What motivates Top is all rooted in pain. He aspires to be NOTHING like his mother. This is why he cant ever bring himself to kill.
- Top became a hero to counter his mother who he sees (rightly) as a villain. He has a deep wish to help everyone. so deep he actually feels depressed whenever he is made to realize he simply cant save everyone.
- Friends, above and beyond anything. For his entire young life Top was isolated and tormented. He has a deep wish to have friends and people who care about him.
Fears:
- His mother. To bring out his full potential of his branch of chaos magic, the power of the mind, Tops mother tortured him for his entire childhood. She has been his boogyman ever since.
- Captivity. Top spent much of his youth locked in a cage, being beaten, insulted, and forced through torturous training. Being behind bars brings back painful, traumatic memories.
- Chaos magic, the very same type he wields, and the idea that it could make him into a monster like his mother, the fortune teller.
