Hannes Laurenz
Hannes is a character who originally started out as a role playing character but was then later implemented in an original world setting of world X. He is a keykeeper like Karen and takes his job very seriously. He specializes in locating doors and sealing/opening them and his hidden magic is "drawing out things that otherwise couldn't be drawn out". Hannes is somewhat silent and a very logical individual, enjoying experimenting on magic and mapping and making notes on the demon world. He is often seen with Teru and is also affiliated with Darian and Vincent.
Appearance168cm in height, Hannes is a little taller than average but not noticeably tall. His skin is very, very pale to the point it might even look like he is not alive at all. He has very light freckles on his face but they are barely noticeable and just give him light texture on his otherwise pale face. His body type is similar to hourglass and he is surprisingly strong-built for someone as lean as him.
His eyes are very light blue, almost white and the area near his eyes is red-pinkish (similar to some BJD dolls with very pale complex) and can give him a somewhat otherworldly look. His lower eyelashes are noticeably long. His eyebrows are round-ish and thick. His nose is relatively small and slightly pointed. Hannes’ hair is silver-ish white and very soft. His hair is almost always braided, reaching his mid-back. It’s extremely rare to see him with hair completely open. As older, Hannes receives two scars on his back as a result of a magical experiment gone wrong. He is able to burst out wings from his back if he draws out of his angel blood but his wings are physically unsuited for him, causing more trouble than it's worth. |

Although he might look distant and unapproachable, Hannes is a people person whose very dominant trait is to serve others and help if he just can. He is observative and usually learns little things about people really fast: he remembers names, faces and even birthdays extremely well as if it was perfectly natural for people to do (and to him it certainly is). However, he is not the loudest, rarely the first one to approach a sad person and in general there is something hesitant in his nature that might make some people think Hannes doesn’t actually care or is being nice just out of obligation. This is due to his insecurities, most strongly deriving from his gender and also the fear of not being able to blend in with others due to his health issues; reason why he was often picked on in the past. Hannes is not the leader type and he doesn’t want to be the main center of attention, even though he does enjoy his limelight once in a while. Too much attention makes him nervous, embarrassed and sometimes a little scared. His gender struggles have made him somewhat secretive and Hannes instinctively lets people know very little about himself. He does answer when asked, but somewhat selectively.
While not the class representative type of leader, Hannes is still very responsible and gladly takes a job that requires a highly responsive person to carry it out. He also likes to make sure others are being responsible too and doing their work and not slacking off, although he is not very persistent or particularly loud about these things. Hannes works the best as the right hand man, taking orders from someone above him but also giving orders to others as well. He can get along with just about anyone, although arrogant people tend to be those who Hannes has the hardest to tolerate. He might come across as somewhat mysterious and silent to others, especially those who are not his classmates or otherwise don't associate with him, but this is only because he is just a little unsure of how to deal with people at first. Hannes has his goofy, fun-loving side too that emerges when he gets comfortable - which is usually rather fast if people just show he is being accepted in their group.
Hannes is known to be charming thanks to his good looks and manners and gentle approach to people. However, sometimes Hannes might accidentally get too carried away and come across as a serious, albeit accidental, flirter when he is nervous. Although it’s not his intention, his flirting can get really aggressive and he doesn’t know when to stop at all. This odd trait of his has gained him the name “serial flirter” and was often teased by his peers about “who he is going to make fall this time”. Although most of the time it’s harmless and people are somewhat aware of this weird trait of Hannes’, he still fears it might cause misunderstandings and more trouble for him and everyone involved. He also feels bad about it afterwards and is embarrassed and angry at himself for not being able to act like a proper human being.
Although Hannes is rather well-behaving and mild, he has his more adventurous side that surfaces sometimes at seemingly random times (and often makes people wonder how someone as responsible as Hannes can suddenly do something seemingly reckless or stupid). He is curious and can get very worked up over ghost stories, rumours and the like and usually wants to investigate - even if it meant breaking the rules a little. Of course Hannes is selective with each case when it comes to breaking the rules: he is still a very dutiful person. Only if he feels like investigating will make everyone benefit from it he is willing to take the risk.
Hannes is considered a very calm and gentle (and maybe a little mild) person who doesn’t react to things very fast. He is rarely angry and his patience level is very high. Even when he does get mad he doesn’t particularly blow up but instead remains as a smiling, sneering and witty - a truly unpleasant person to deal with as he doesn’t seem to lose his patience in front of others. He just turns nasty.

Past
Hannes is the only child of a family specializing in demon research and fight against the dark forces. As a child Hannes wasn't really aware of his family's position though: his father was a librarian and mother a police, which were good ways to mask the fact his father was also doing research on demons, and his mother was a light witch keeping aggressive demons at bay. Because he was unaware of all this, Hannes had a relatively normal childhood with little to no magic involved in it. His parents wanted to keep him out of trouble as magic didn't really mix well with their era anymore and would have just caused trouble to Hannes and prevented him from living a normal human's life. His parents were so busy with their double life they often ended up not having time for Hannes and he spent majority of his time studying or reading. His mother taught him self defense and his father occasionally let him read about demons, although he claimed they were just books on occult and not to be taken seriously.
Surprisingly, as a child Hannes didn’t have much trouble with his eyes. His skin was always sensitive but his vision started getting like it currently is only as he got older. Hannes never really let his problems to stop him though, but as result he sometimes had trouble attending things other people went to, eventually distancing him from others. His gender struggles, starting from a young age but becoming more visible when 12, also made him go into his shell and distance himself a little. Hannes has always had a couple of friends at school and whatnot, but at time they all have drifted away, only occasionally writing letters to each other. He is not lonely though and he always had a lot people he could socialize with whenever he just wanted (and was able to).
Around the age of 15 his mother eventually revealed Hannes about being a witch using light magic. This is because she had gotten into a big trouble with her husband and she wanted to start teaching some magic to Hannes so he could protect himself. Having tried to keep this all secret from Hannes, it spoke levels of the seriousness of the situation when she came clean and told Hannes everything about the demon world and magic. Hannes took this surprisingly well, mostly because he had always expected his parents were messing up with more than met the eye. However, although Hannes was high compatible with light magic, he was very weak due the lack of practice before now.
Although his mother wanted to teach Hannes mainly self defense, it turned out Hannes was more offensive/support, if anything. They got to practice around a year together, but demons then eventually raided their home and his parents lost their lives. Hannes, too, would have been a goner if it wasn't for a keykeeper who appeared to handle the situation and save Hannes. This keykeeper, a demon herself, took Hannes in with her and made him a keykeeper as her time was running out and she still had no student. Hannes studied two years under her and when he had turned 18 he received the key to protect, ultimately also making him unable to age from here on out.
Soon after Hannes started working as a keykeeper, he met Teru, a shapeshifter around his own age. They became friends really fast and ever since Teru has practically moved to live with Hannes and the two are very close. Hannes studied and attended school like a normal human, somewhat uncommon for a keykeeper as they usually disappear from the human society and their previous life once they receive the key. However, as he had stopped growing he eventually had to change location and started a travelling life along with Teru.

Abilities
➝ Keykeeper: Hannes has no workshop on his own so he also doesn’t have any doors to look after. However, his job is to locate and find doors and close them in order to prevent any others but keykeepers going through them.
➝ Hidden magic: Hannes' hidden ability is drawing out things that can't be drawn out. He has the ability to take out anything that has been so permanently stuck it could not be removed in any way, not even by breaking the thing entirely. While this often limits his skills only to enchanted objects, it can also be applied to people and especially then his true potential is reached out: he can awaken, “draw out” things from people such as their hidden magic or old genes that otherwise could never be awakened.
Hannes can awaken his own angel blood to boost his light magic skills but he can’t control the extent of how much he draws out. As a result, his light magic boost forces him to sprout out wings as well and cause him both a lot pain and a lot of trouble.
On a more passive level, Hannes’ hidden ability can help him draw out conclusions to things that would never present themselves in the given context.

➝ Light magic: Light magic is a demon based magical element humans can only inherit and never gain in natural ways. Light magic is always from the angel type of demons, meaning all human light magic users have angel blood in them. Light and dark magic are rarer compared to natural elements (water, fire, wind and earth) as they are not dominant genes. Light magic is weak to natural elements but strong against dark magic while dark magic is strong against natural elements.
Hannes inherits his light magic directly from his mother. Due he fact he started practicing magic relatively late, it takes Hannes a little longer than usual to also start stabilizing his magic and using it effectively. He specializes in offensive and supporting attacks and as result he is vulnerable to attacks. Hannes also has a natural light sensitivity which makes his light magic abilities rather ironical and also even dangerous to his own health if not used right and with appropriate caution.

➝ Angel blood: Thanks to his hidden magic, Hannes is later able to draw out his angel blood and considerably boost up his light magic as a result. However, as he can't control the extent of how much he draws out, large wings also sprout out, causing Hannes physical pain (on the first time it tore his skin so badly he now has scars on his back). His teeth also turn sharper and his ears change shape to pointier. However, Hannes uses this rarely, if ever, and the first time of using this ability left him with a trauma so strong he'd rather never use this ability again.
Attacks
[Offensive] Kyrie Eleison
Hannes summons a gun that works as a conductor for a powerful burst of a light magic in form of a bullet. Although it’s range is small, if it manages to pierce through the opponent it will explode within the target. The gun only has 6 bullets though and the cooldown is one hour. It’s also no faster than your average bullet, meaning it can be avoided or even dodged with a shield.
[Defensive/Offensive*] White light [the end of night]
Mainly used as a defensive attack, Hannes can momentarily make his surroundings flash bright and use this as his chance to blind the opponent for a moment and escape or attack. Ironically Hannes has to be really careful with this or his eyes won’t be able to handle it and it can turn against him.
*Can be used as offensive if against dark magic as it does some weakening damage to the opponent.
[Support] Chains of Heaven
When paired with someone else, Hannes can summon chains to restrict the movements of the opponent for a short while. It works the best against enemies using dark magic and works the weakest against light. [Chains of Heaven] works only as a support magic because it requires Hannes to stay still, as if holding the chains. This leaves him vulnerable to attacks. Chains of Heaven is ideal in 3-people-group where one can attack and one protect Hannes while he holds the enemy.
