pianistofraielinName: Russel Goldman : Raiel
Age: 17 [11/24/1996]
Appearance: The dude on the far right. Blond hair, brown eyes, 5'9" tall. He's muscular but it's not immediately obvious through his clothes.
Unlike Raiel, Russel dresses like a normal human being in modern-day America, but his fashion sense when it comes anything fancier than "casual-everyday wear" might be...slightly outdated.
He also has a costume he put together forsun_sun's superhero/magical girl squad: [Link]
Occupation: High school student, junior year. He's on the football team (he plays wide receiver and cornerback, jersey #34), and a member of the drama club (typecast into villain roles because his acting is hammy as fuck).
Full Application: Linked here.
Echoes Received:
See here.
Notes:
Russel is friends with basically everyone! He's just so gosh-darned nice and practically has a radar for lonely kids who need befriending. He is even friends with people who can't stand him. They'll come around eventually!!
He's gotten in fights before due to confronting bullies and defending people who were getting picked on. He's sort of got a 'champion of the weak' thing going on.
Outside of school he is a massive fucking dork who loves animanga and jRPGs, and he roleplays on the internet and has at least one MMO that he is really intense about. He can also talk your ear off about music, any decade, any genre, so you might not want to get him started.
He has a 4-year-old Australian shepherd named Tchaikovsky who is just the cutest dog ever yes she is.
His mother, Patricia Goldman, is the State Comptroller--which means that even though she is popularly elected and has been in that position for five years, you've probably never heard of her. His father, Samuel Goldman, writes very unpopular children's books like Santa's in Your House and Why Doesn't Grandma Remember My Name?.

Date: 2013-09-21 04:44 am (UTC)What he regained was Raiel's affinity for dramatic/cheesy speeches.
September 10th
Date: 2013-09-21 04:46 am (UTC)September 21st
Date: 2013-09-21 04:49 am (UTC)He doesn't know why, but the composition feels very important to him personally for some reason.

Date: 2013-12-12 01:26 am (UTC)He bruises where others break, recovers more quickly from blunt force trauma, and has a surprising amount of resilience. Basically, it is the uncanny ability to only be seriously injured when it is suitably dramatic or the plot requires it.
December 11th
Date: 2013-12-12 01:28 am (UTC)He regained his magic music! Albeit in a very limited form, emotional resonance/bard skills only for the moment.

Date: 2013-12-21 11:59 pm (UTC)Raiko.
The whole outfit. What is his life.
December 11th
Date: 2013-12-26 06:29 am (UTC)Because of that, Russel echoed back the memory of a blue-haired kid leaving the group while saying, "You only seem like you're together when you're killing monsters."
JANUARY
Date: 2014-01-11 02:23 am (UTC)January 15th [TIER 2 pt 2]
Date: 2014-01-19 06:39 pm (UTC)His piano. It is:
• About 3' wide and 5' long
• Solid gold
• 500 kg
• Waterproofed up to 500m
• Holy enchanted to be basically indestructible
• Lacking legs, instead having backpack straps and a harness allowing for portable use
January 15th [TIER 2 pt 1]
Date: 2014-01-19 06:43 pm (UTC)Memories of Mama Pandora teaching him how to play magic music on her upright piano when he was 4 or 5. Not very effective memories of the piano lessons themselves, but enough to know that magic music is a way to use music to do amazing things and that you need to know the heart and context of what you're playing to use it properly.
January 25th
Date: 2014-01-26 07:13 am (UTC)How to play Stravinsky's Appearance of the Firebird on piano. HIS ONE SONG.
February 25th
Date: 2014-01-29 07:47 am (UTC)Firebird! A minivan-sized bird of living flame. Visual reference.
It's really more like an animal companion than a summon. Firebird was Raiel's BFF and the only company he had for much of his childhood. He can communicate with it and seems completely unaware that nobody else can hear what it's saying.
Russel cannot communicate with it yet, and for now it will immediately un-summon as soon as he stops playing the Firebird Suite.
FEBRUARY
Date: 2014-02-07 04:48 am (UTC)February 7th
Date: 2014-02-15 06:54 am (UTC)February 15th
Date: 2014-02-17 07:13 am (UTC)Because this is the ultimate dumb romantic comedy scenario, aka the same as his stupid shoujo romance scenarios in canon, he echoed back his anime nosebleeds. Triggered by ladies' undergarments, female sexuality, and getting caught up in romantic comedy/shoujo romance stuff. Not as awful as they are in canon, but still surprisingly severe.
