Physical Description
Ron is tall and skinny. He weighs about 150 lbs, and has hazel eyes which lean towards blue or green randomly. Ron is not extremely muscular or anything, but he also isn't weak. He works out, but prefers to stay lean and flexible rather than big and buff.
Coloration
Caucasian, tanned brown
Gear
Clothing/Armor
Ron's regular attire consists of a hat, jeans, and a t shirt. Any time he is on the job, he prefers his black martial arts outfit, sometimes wearing a hooded cloak. That, or a suit.
Jewelry
Ron has a solar powered atomic wristwatch, and sun glasses during the day time.
Weapons
Ron carries a katana he bought years ago before he ever went into the coma. Its the only well made weapon he owns, all his others are merely ornamental. He sometimes also uses his hammer, but it is not as effective as the magical one he used to weild and so he rarely uses it. Ron also occasionally carries a staff which he is highly skilled with, but unfortunately it is largely ineffective against some of the more powerful beings he encounters. He also carries a pistol.
Magical Items
Ron currently has no magical items.
Other Key Accessories
Cell phone, keys, his car: a 1997 Saturn SC2 with transmission problems.

When on the job he is occassionally allowed to drive a different vehicle depending on the mission.
Skills
Powers
In the dream Ron was a powerful wizard, but his power has been reduced drastically. His spells are now powered by his own energy. Casting minor spells requires very little energy, and he can use them multiple times before needing to rest. More powerful spells use more energy, and Ron may require rest after using to many of them. Extremely powerful spells can drain him greatly, and may even cause him to pass out for a while. Every day he gets better and better.

Some of his more common spells are listed below.

Enhancement: Ron can enhance any of his natural attributes, from strength and speed, to hearing and sight. Doing so requires little energy, and is his most commonly used power.

Magic Missiles: Ron can send out small blasts of energy at a target, smashing it with the force of a sledgehammer. This requires a small amount of energy, and is his most commonly used ranged attack.

Wind Jump: First he enhances his strength and jumps, then summons a gust of wind beneath him to jump even higher. Requires minor energy use.

Flight: Sustaining flight for more than a few minutes is risky, but Ron can fly. It just tires him out very quickly. He can also levitate in place, using much less energy, and slow his falls, using very little energy.

Divination: Ron has always had a knack for divination, and mainly uses it to track down his targets. He has a sixth sense about danger, giving him faster than normal reflexes. He can also see the future, usually through dreams, but sometimes willingly. Looking into the future is never perfectly accurate, and sometimes doesn't work at all, but it does give him insight into things that might happen.

Other: Ron can do just about anything he could do when his magic came from his books, from hurling lightning to summoning monsters, it just uses his energy and can make him very weak. Summoning spells in particularly are difficult, but stuff like freezing things or lighting things on fire is much easier.
Occupation
Ron is an unwilling agent of the United States government. His job is to recruit fellow Dreamers, a classification used for anything supernatural, either by persuasion or by force.
Combat Skills
Ron is skilled in P'an Q'ue Do, a style of martial arts founded by his uncle, Charles Buchanan. (This is a real style, btw, and really was founded by my uncle.) He is good at hand to hand combat, but certainly no master, and is highly skilled with the Bo Staff and the regular every day workbench hammer. He has also been learning how to use the katana, and how to fire a gun accurately.
Talents
Ron is naturally athletic, has good reflexes, and is good with a computer. He is charismatic, once he gets over his initial shyness, and is a natural leader.
Weaknesses
Ron is human, and he fights against things that aren't human... big disadvantage.
Character
Personality
Sometimes Ron can be a little shy at first, but once he gets past that he is naturally charismatic and gets along well with just about anyone. He is very friendly, even to his enemies should they speak to him, and loves a good conversation. He loves the outdoors, and enjoys long walks on the beach... actually, no, he doesn't. He prefers to run around and splash in the water until he's exausted, then have his dog drag him around through the waves.
Hobbies
Video games, dnd, dirt bike racing, martial arts, writing, and magic
Dislikes
Competitive sports, watching competitive sports on tv, the taste of alchohol (but not the effects), drugs, and roaches
