BACKGROUND
FAMILY

bran daye, father, 45;
natural; lazy asshat
nessa kelly-daye, mother, 32;
mechanic; dead
amelia daye, older sister, 28;
natural; child prodigy
the second born child of a couple who had eloped for love rather than married for power and prestige, oliver didn't grow up with money nor power, but was raised in a small town off the school his father had attended before his birth. his mother, a gifted college drop out, raised her children to push their own boundaries. to be better than she had, to not waste their talents. his father worked for a local logging company, and would often spend months at a time away from home.

up until the disappearance of nessa kelly-daye, on december 5th, when oliver was eight years old. amelia and oliver had been home waiting for her to return from errands when they realized late in the night that she wasn't coming back. amelia made a quick call to the local police station, who searched for nessa for two days before finding her body in a shallow grave outside of the city limits.

bran had rushed home during the initial search, only to leave shortly after her funeral, finding appropriate boarding schools for both of his children to attend. amelia was invited to la sororité, where she learned to harness her magical gifts and became a prodigy in her own right.

oliver attended barrett-crowley, same as his father, and maintained an image of just smart enough to get by and stay enrolled, but mediocre otherwise. he lives in the dorms, occasionally visits his sister on school breaks but otherwise remains on campus. when amelia graduated and moved in with a girlfriend, oliver's visits stopped.

now a graduate from barrett-crowley, oliver spends his days couch surfing from one friend to the next, causing problems and making mischief wherever he goes.
ABILITIES
MECHANIC PLANE
oliver's primary plane is mechanic, which is aptly described as magic that can control anything inherently material and/or man-made and does not possess life, or has possessed life previously.

his skillset mainly lies with creating charms out of stone, rock, and other precious gems. these charms can be anything from good luck to connecting points between two different charms, to embedding other magics into charms in order to pull from them or utilize their abilities later--such as embedding healing magic into an earring, to activate when needed most.

aside from charms, he's able to morph metals into shapes and get them to move on their own--such as shaping steel into a small animal and assigning it specific tasks to do (record xy event, guard this place). this does take significantly more energy, and isn't something he's capable of doing often.

there are several basic, generic spells he can cast from memory, and significantly more he can manage with notes and use of magic circles.
TECHNOPATHY
his line is technopathy; oliver has a low-grade connection to technological items, and is able to manipulate them with his magic. he's able to perceive the location of technological items without being able to see them, is able to pick up on frequencies that they are transmitting on, and able to track them down.

he is, however, vastly untrained in utilizing this skill and generally uses it to track his friends' phones down to figure out where the fuck they wandered off to.
DEMONIC PLANE
as his secondary plane is demonic, oliver is able to utilize demonic energies (read: nearby demons or ones he has actively connected to) to boost his own magics.

this comes at the inherit risk of potentially being possessed or fully overtaken, and isn't something he uses for funsies.
