| Name: Elian Ocasio (Elian: Variant spelling of Welsh unisex Eilian, probably meaning "second, a moment in time." Ocasio: Apparently from Spanish ocasión 'time', 'occasion'.) Representative of: Time Gender: Male Age: He is 17 physically, but literally he is ageless, since he was at the beginning. Brief personality: Elian is a complex character, because he tends to hide behind masks a lot. His personality as Elian Ocasio is the most honest, though even then he tends to hide a lot of his true feelings behind his Poker Face. He is a fun loving prankster with an almost ever present smile who has a perverted streak and loves performing his magic tricks for everyone. He generally enjoys any attention he receives and doesn’t embarrass easily, at least not visibly, but poker face will occasionally slip anyway, depending on exactly how serious the situation is. He also enjoys flirting on occasion. Elian is very intelligent, and loves pulling harmless pranks on people, often involving magic. Sometimes he is a lazy-butt, saying he had 'all time in the world.' - Triggering:
When alone, he often broods and he tends to overthink about why he is Time and that he never asked to be living such a long time. Seeing so many people live and die before him had left him empty and cold (that is, if he's alone; plus he has poker face). He thought of killing himself but he has tried it many times that he knew it would never work. Luckily, he had something else to do to distract him from his thoughts. Magic tricks. Brief physical description: Elian has messy dark hair and purple eyes, which is really the only outwardly odd thing about him. He's a bit short for a 17 year old (174 cm (5'8") tall). Since he's a magician who's always carrying his magical supplies on his person, he tends to wear baggy clothes with long sleeves to accommodate this. Usually he wears a casual t-shirt, a green jacket (hoodie), jeans, and sneakers. Elian is a master of disguise and has been seen disguising as several people throughout the years. Brief history:- Spoiler:
Time is a measure in which events can be ordered from the past through the present into the future, and also the measure of durations of events and the intervals between them. Time is often referred to as the fourth dimension, along with the three spatial dimensions.
Time has long been a major subject of study in religion, philosophy, and science, but defining it in a manner applicable to all fields without circularity has consistently eluded scholars. Nevertheless, diverse fields such as business, industry, sports, the sciences, and the performing arts all incorporate some notion of time into their respective measuring systems. Some simple definitions of time include "time is what clocks measure", which is a problematically vague and self-referential definition that utilizes the device used to measure the subject as the definition of the subject, and "time is what keeps everything from happening at once", which is without substantive meaning in the absence of the definition of simultaneity in the context of the limitations of human sensation, observation of events, and the perception of such events.
Two contrasting viewpoints on time divide many prominent philosophers. One view is that time is part of the fundamental structure of the universe—a dimension independent of events, in which events occur in sequence. Sir Isaac Newton subscribed to this realist view, and hence it is sometimes referred to as Newtonian time. The opposing view is that time does not refer to any kind of "container" that events and objects "move through", nor to any entity that "flows", but that it is instead part of a fundamental intellectual structure (together with space and number) within which humans sequence and compare events. This second view, in the tradition of Gottfried Leibniz and Immanuel Kant, holds that time is neither an event nor a thing, and thus is not itself measurable nor can it be travelled.
Time is one of the seven fundamental physical quantities in both the International System of Units and International System of Quantities. Time is used to define other quantities—such as velocity—so defining time in terms of such quantities would result in circularity of definition. An operational definition of time, wherein one says that observing a certain number of repetitions of one or another standard cyclical event (such as the passage of a free-swinging pendulum) constitutes one standard unit such as the second, is highly useful in the conduct of both advanced experiments and everyday affairs of life. The operational definition leaves aside the question whether there is something called time, apart from the counting activity just mentioned, that flows and that can be measured. Investigations of a single continuum called spacetime bring questions about space into questions about time, questions that have their roots in the works of early students of natural philosophy.
Furthermore, it may be that there is a subjective component to time, but whether or not time itself is "felt", as a sensation, or is a judgment, is a matter of debate.
Temporal measurement has occupied scientists and technologists, and was a prime motivation in navigation and astronomy. Periodic events and periodic motion have long served as standards for units of time. Examples include the apparent motion of the sun across the sky, the phases of the moon, the swing of a pendulum, and the beat of a heart. Currently, the international unit of time, the second, is defined by measuring the electronic transition frequency of caesium atoms (see below). Time is also of significant social importance, having economic value ("time is money") as well as personal value, due to an awareness of the limited time in each day and in human life spans. Religious affiliation: N/A Any special powers or abilities: Elian is very skilled at performing magic tricks and illusions. He is also known for his acrobatic and daredevil-like antics. He can also imitate practically any voice without the aid of a special device. His costumes and disguises are top notch as well. He can even make someone believe he is their husband, son, or family member. (All are products of years (decades, centuries, millennia) of practice.) He can stop time or make it fast, but he refuses to do so since it would destroy the world's balance. It's either he can make himself go slower, or go faster. He can also change his appearance to a child and into an old man, but he prefers a body of a teenager, saying he can get more girls and that he's more attractive that way. Also, he can time-travel using an old brass pocketwatch (which he has to turn the knobs to set the time and place where he wants to go), but refuses to do so since he will be tempted to change things, and then nothing will ever be the same. His color in the chatbox is #000099. (*Disclaimer: Elian's FC (Kuroba Kaito) is not mine. They belong to Gosho Aoyama, maker of Detective Conan and Magic Kaito. I just... borrowed him, I guess.)

| I'm sorry, Kaitou Kid is a character from Detective Conan and Magic Kaito. I wanted something to balance him out, but I guess, it's kinda like copying or something, so I changed the app a bit. ^^" |
