Description

From first glance Pollox seems like he's looking for trouble, when in reality, trouble looks for him. He doesn't have to do much to get on someone's bad side, his harsh language and blunt honesty hurt more feelings than actually do good. If you're in a good mood, you can count on Pollox to ruin it with some jackass remark. There's a quirky side to him that not many people see. For example, he keeps a garden, despite being an Arcane witch, he likes to keep a garden filled with various plants. From deadly wolfsbane to something as simple and sweet as daises. However not everyone knows this, not even his family, only his familiar. Pollox is the sort of guy who will pick a fight for no reason or get angry without any provocation. Just because. Generally he's extremely lazy and always shows up late to work and then leaves early, though no one cares. He's hot tempered and doesn't like to talk about or associate himself with his sisters. He only cares about guaranteeing himself and would never put his neck on the line for someone else.

Magical Talent

Pollox is a psychokinetic, meaning he can move objects with his mind. While he isn't strong enough to toss cars in the way or move particularly heavy objects, it does satisfy the fact he is pretty lazy and he never has to get up for anything. He can also force girls' skirts to fly up or the front of their shirt to tear open randomly. And that he has abused very often, more often than he should. He is bursting with talent and since telekinesis is rare in Arcane witches, you would think he would try harder. Being lazy in nature though, he doesn't bother and has tried to learn more about divination, but hasn't really bothered to care too much to further his study of it.

Appearance

He's the kind of guy you can see people crossing the street to avoid his path or gracing the cover of a popular music magazine. His body is covered with tattoos that snake around his neck, wrap over his broad chest and back and go even to places that not many people see. His body art is part of his magic, which is why he is constantly having new tattoos put on, runes and other symbols that have some magical meaning. If that tattoos aren't intimidating enough, he's tall and stands at around six feet and four inches, towering over most people. His face is defined but with plump lips and a straight nose. His clothing style is punk meets rocker, rags and chains but with jeans and leather. Pollox has lazy bedroom eyes that often make him look like he's half asleep, it's very rare that they are opened all the way, even in shock, his eyebrows express more emotion than his eye ever have. With a lean body with the punk rocker build of a gawky lankyness mixed with muscle, Pollox looks like trouble. And that's because he is. Pollox has a conch piercing in both ears, wears a lip ringon occasion and has various other piercings, including two plugs in his lobs. His hair is haphazard mess of blond that is usually every which way or another, making him look like he just fell out of bed.

Familiar

Pest, to put it quite simply is a pest. He's a nasty little spider monkey with a temper that rivals his master's. He loves to tormet children and is like a perverted old man trapped in a monkey's body. He'll climb onto pretty girls and grope them or throw their skirts up for his own amusement. He hisses and claws at people he doesn't like (which is pretty much almost anybody) and has a police record almost as long as his master's. Pest seems completely uncontrolled but as soon as Pollox tells him to do something or to stop, Pest does so immediately. Pest's fur is a black color with bits of white around his nose and mouth, and a lighter brown color on his belly. His fur is a little scraggly and unkept, but it's actually rather clean, just messy. Pest has several piercings as a familiar, on his ears and even a nipple ring. Yes, a nipple ring on a monkey.

Information

History

Pollox brew up with older sisters named Faith, Hope, & Charity who by no means emulated their names meaning whatsoever. If anything, they were and still are, at large and wanted by DAD for questioning for some pretty hefty crimes. Pollox purposely doesn't keep track of them and avoids contact completely since he prefers to watch out for his own rear than that of his own family. His sisters followed in the footsteps of his parents who are currently rotting in a jail somewhere. He grew up in an oraphanage for witch children and spent more time getting in trouble and building a police record than actually doing anything productive with his time.

During his childhood he happened upon a store that sold Familiars. Walking in he saw a couple looking at a spider monkey that was thrashing about in its cage wildly. The couple walked away horrified, but when Pollox came over, he and the monkey stared at each other, and they knew. He stole the monkey from the shop, but the owner never made an effort to stop him. Pollox named the monkey Pestilence, which the Orphanage owners shortened to Pest since he drove them nuts with his obnoxious behavior.

He remained in the Orphanage till he was 18 and was kicked out on his birthday. He got a job working at Spike n' Hammer doing piercings and took advantage of his discount to get tattoos. His tattoos actually strengthen his telekinesis and so he doesn't have to put in half the effort as he might normally have to. He isn't a very very powerful psychokinetic, but his is impressive enough that a few people from DAD tried to recruit him with the promise of clearing his police record. He's refused.
