Pre-note: This character is soul-bound with Sabrina Hale. They share emotions and memories due to the consequences of dealing with the devil. To get a more accurate insight into Isaac, I would strongly recommend taking a look at Sabrina's profile (wip) afterwards too if you have the time!
Alias: Isaac
Age: 17
Grade: 11, Junior
Alignment: True Neutral
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 158 lb
Eye Color: Left - Blue | Right - Red
Hair Color: Charcoal Gray
Personality:
Isaac almost always has a stoic expression on his face if he has a choice in the matter, although with his emotions being intertwined with his lover's emotions, it unfortunately makes it impossible for him to take complete control over them (see background). This isn't to say that he's antisocial or that he is incapable of smiling though, and although he doesn't make it a point to go out of his way to socialize with strangers, he has almost no trouble in talking to people if approached first or if already in casual conversation.
Isaac can be very courteous if he wants to be, but that's not to say he will be if someone does something to upset him (although he's always fighting to keep his emotions stable for the sake of his other half)- and although he has a higher tolerance to irritants than most people might, he does indeed have his limits which are more liable to snap rather than to gradually increase.
Isaac is a natural born strategist- on multiple occasions he has been helping within the development team of his father's technology company. He is particularly good at compressing code and working with databases, although because of his strategic and efficient thinking, he is also incredibly good at applying his knowledge to other real-world applications to great effect. Isaac has been brought up with the highest regard being only for his education however, so he lacks in the majority of physical skills and traits the average person would have at his age by far.
Fighting Style:
Isaac will never fight without a very clear reason to- self defense included. If he absolutely must, he will try to do it at distance while continually attempting to do it in a calm manner.
He has had no self defense training or experience with fighting of any kind, although if he were to get into close quarters combat he would likely attempt to try quick precision movements at vital parts of the body to make up for his lack of experience.
Strengths:
Isaac is not afraid of death in the slightest and never has been- even willing to sacrifice himself for the one he loves without second thought (although this may be a double edged sword). His skills in strategy and planning are well beyond the average person, and isn't afraid to manipulate it as much as possible to make up for what he lacks. Isaac, while always striving to be calm, is not afraid to use excessive means when necessary.
Weaknesses:
Isaac will do anything to stop his beloved from getting hurt, and so becomes incredibly reckless if trying to prevent it. Due to his emotions being either withheld excessively or shown liberally (and not much between), it is incredibly hard for him to express himself in ways that would require emotions to show them. Isaac has a weak stomach when looking at knives, although that isn't to say he wouldn't use one if it was necessary.
History:
Two years ago, Isaac made a simple deal with the devil. For the small cost of his soul, he would protect the girl he loved from the tyrant that was her father...
Isaac Blackburn and Sabrina Hale both came from different successful business families living in England. From a young age, it was obvious that the two children would have continually growing feelings and affection for one another without the knowledge of the fog of business warfare looming over them. Life was pleasant. The phrase "let's get married when we're old enough" would neither be joking nor refused, and always spoken from the heart- the sort of perfect childhood romance that could never be thrown off balance.
At least until business matters between Hale Pharmaceuticals and Blackburn Technology would come to a sudden disagreement. Isaac and Sabrina would then live their lives as per Romeo and Juliet through their years after the age of 12, secretly meeting outside the grasps of their parents' clutches. However despite the nature of the events as well as their families having renown in England, they wouldn't have many problems and so all was well as far as a fated romance like this could be. It wasn't quite perfect, and at the same time it wasn't the worst thing that could happen- No. The worst was still to come around years later as plans of arranged business marriage loomed over them.
16 is the legal age for parents consent to marriage in England, so all the way through their 15th year they would be unable to see each-other due to marriage arrangements. Chances were they would never be able to see each other from this day forward. Isaac's freedom was considerably higher than Sabrina's- and by this point his father had agreed to reconsider their business relationship with Hale Pharmaceuticals after seeing his son's longing blue eyes, although Sabrina's father had other plans.
Even without a physical bond with Sabrina, Isaac knew that she wouldn't be happy with this- there was nothing he could do and he had already exhausted all his options by now, leaving only one bittersweet last hope. Making a deal with the devil. In exchange for his soul, he wanted Sabrina to be safe- for her to never need to be tormented by her father again. As he signed the contract, his eyes would turn a vivid blood red- a distinct visual reminder as to what he had sold his soul for. Both a regrettable (although to him worthwhile) badge of honor to proclaim his last wishes for Sabrina.
Two weeks would pass before he seemingly awoke from a deep sleep back in the graveyard, where he had made the deal with the devil- Sabrina's tears would be rolling down her face before falling to join Isaac's. What he felt was confusion, and what she felt was sadness, but they equally felt the same uncontrollably. She revealed her mismatched eyes to mirror his, and they both felt relief in embrace. Sabrina had challenged the devil to return him to the world of the living and won, but of course the devil will never play nice...
Sabrina and Isaac would now share a soul between them. Neither belonging wholly to either one of them- and so the two would bond in to what would normally be considered a perfect state of harmony with your loved one with the ability to share emotions and memories between the two. To feel empathy for one another without condition.
For mortals however, nothing is this simple- it eventually led to the two of them killing Sabrina's father out of extreme distress, the devil's ironic way of fulfilling Isaac's conditions fully, before the two decided to get as far away as possible away from their past. They both escaped as fugitives to America where they could start a new life, the only thing still with them being each-other and the devil's curse. Here they were quickly recognized as being mentally unstable, and then after nearly a year of recovery they were now mostly able to control their emotions and be able to reflect on the past without too much stress.
From this point onward, they had only two routes to go down. Attempt to live together without any further help, or accept the open invitation from phs552's new headmaster.
Other:
Even though he has his stoic expression, he still gets flustered sometimes if Sabrina goes on the offensive. So cute c:
Disclaimer: The 'Devil' mentioned in the bio is actually an incredibly powerful Qi user, however both Sabrina and Isaac truly believe that this was the work of the Devil.
ISAAC BLACKBURN
Alias: Isaac
Age: 17
Grade: 11, Junior
Alignment: True Neutral
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 158 lb
Eye Color: Left - Blue | Right - Red
Hair Color: Charcoal Gray
| Appearance: Upon first inspection, the first thing that would probably take your attention are his eyes, his left eye being a calm grey-blue and the other one being a deep ruby red. That's what you would notice first anyway, as long as his hair isn't covering his right eye due to it being longer on one side than the other. Honestly he dislikes it when his hair is in the way, but that's just how his style is- he could care less about if his mismatched eye colours were visible or not. Other than that, it's a fair point to make that he's a pretty ordinary kid, standing at an average height with a possibly slightly under-built body. His posture and skin however are in great form due to his past as the son of a a successful English business entrepreneur, and if anything, it might even make him seem slightly feminine at a quick glance. He is almost always wearing a sweater vest (or a polo shirt during summer)- his favorite sweater vest being a crimson red one with three black diamonds either side of a buttoned center. Other than this, he usually wears dark clothing with the occasional brighter highlighted parts to compliment it, as his sense of style works surprisingly better than you might expect. |  |

Unfortunately the devil does not simply give and take.
