Age: 24
Birthday: July 12
Star sign: Gemini
Gender: Male
Race: Human ((Bonded/Possessed with a Supernatural Spirit))
Alliance: Reluctant Hero (Neutral Good)
Personality: Ruuben is quite a worrisome individual. Being meticulous himself, he worries over something that could go wrong with his own choices- be that small or big. As much as he tried to get out of his own comfort zone, his anxiety and self-preservation instincts gave him the hard time to ever adjust and be comfortable with any strange situations. This and his emotional feelings weren't a good mix for the young Finnish. He preferred not being in the total limelight, and even if he deserved the credit he still didn't want to be the center of attention in a group of people. He was helping people because he wanted to, not for recognition. If anything, he has a habit of deflecting people's praises no matter how genuine they were. Other than that, he is a really compassionate and merciful individual, willing lend a hand to anyone who asked him for help.

- He is really resourceful to what he has, and will try to make use of anything in the room

- He has a necklace with two pendants: a Viking rune pendant from his father and a guitar pendant from his brother Reima
Philosophical/social viewpoint: His view for life is really grey, he doesn't think that everybody has to have a label that they're pure 'good' or pure 'evil', because either way they're just going to ******** up with whatever decisions they made and there will be always a tidal wave of problem that will be shoved on to them in a daily basis. He won't change people's minds, but Ruuben would like to change what people think of him.
Religious viewpoint: Ruuben thinks he doesn't have a right to say anything about religion, therefore he would rather not talk about it. He respects any people's religion but he would prefer people not to shove it on his face.
Romantic viewpoint: As much as he's romantic, Ruuben is certain that love isn't a feeling, but rather it is an action done to people they care about. He doesn't really like how people confuse infatuation with love and was certain that that was why there are people who break-up as a result. Ruuben expressed his love by supporting and caring, and he thinks dates and gift aren't enough to express that.
Biography
Ruuben was born in a good home in Turku, Finland with his parents, his older brother Reima, and his little brother . His parents are perfectly normal people, his father Kusti is an archaeologist and professor in a Finnish University while his mother Kiira works as a dentist in their home. He and Reima were an inseparable pair, and Ruuben doesn't mind being the sidekick to his older brother. Reima Korhonen was a headstrong and protective individual, so they got each other's back from time to time. Their younger brother Riku, on the other hand, was an utter prankster but he does it mostly "to show that he really cared for his two older annoying brothers". Other than that, Ruuben was a fairly hardworking one in school- he didn't think he had a talent and so he tried to work on what he has instead. He carried his diligence even at college that he finally earned his degree in Graphic Arts and Photography. Of course, it was never easy, but he still managed to nail it either way. He loved traveling with his father when he was proposing any journey for him, giving him so much time to take pictures and write experiences in this blog or journal. Eventually, he strives to travel more, and so he took the opportunity when his brother Reima expressed that he wanted to travel to America and try to expand his musical talent more. So, they did, and they settled to Gotham City in New Jersey. It was a tough time for the young Finnish to adjust as he was far away from home, but Ruuben held on as he thought that it was really worth the try.
One time, age 23, their father Kusti invited them to the excavation site of some ancient relics in Europe. Of course, it interested Ruuben that he was willing to go with him, and Reima was also there because he didn't want to be left alone in the apartment. There was a legend about the site that there was a witch who was able to hear and see many things that she was betrayed by her brethren that her spirit ended up being locked away underground in a chest. Anyway, there was one night when the brothers were just borrowing their dad's car, there was something going on in the excavation site. Something exploded and weird supernatural magic stuff came out through it, and a rushing spirit came through Ruuben himself. Reima, seeing what happened while driving the car, was utterly distracted over his younger brother that they ended up crashing to a nearby lamp-post. Both the brothers survived, though it gave Ruuben a three-day coma but other than that they were alive. A year after their recovery, the brothers stayed in Finland for a while before venturing off again to America.
Weeks later, he has starting to feel weird over his sense of hearing and it went to the point that he could hear everything, which gave him the hardest time to sleep and even focus on his daily tasks. But most notably was that he eventually met the spirit who was stuck with him, her name was Forde and she was apparently a witch who passed most of her abilities to Ruuben. As much as he hated her, at least she did apologize for "possessing him out of seeing the first human she saw" or something like that so he let that pass. Reima, being concerned over his brother's conflict, but couldn't figure how to approach him without accusing him of being "insane". Finally, he worked up to his nerve and tried to get his brother to talk about it, which gave Ruuben a panic-attack and took hours before he could finally talk to him about his growing abilities.
Still, thinking that his ability would only cause bigger problems or worse, become a "disaster magnet" and be hunted down by people, Ruuben decided to keep his abilities concealed, much of Forde's dismay. But still, he couldn't shut down the "voices" (specifically Forde's voice) or his really sensitive hearing around crowded or noisy areas. Along with that, Forde kind of (begrudgingly) guided him about getting to the basics of telekinesis as well so that he'll have something not to be worried about her possessing him. So far it was doing well, but Ruuben still chose to suppress it as possible (which Forde, being naturally petty, gave her an urge to possess him to do the job sometimes).

Relationship explanation
Family:
○ Professor Kusti Joakim Saari | NPC | Father
Ruuben is just fairly close to his father. In fact, Kusti is the reason why his son desired to travel in the first place, as he always invited his three sons to any excavation or traveling moments as much as possible. They just love to nerd about ancient stuff since... forever. Though, ever since the accident, Ruuben was fairly reluctant and tried to avoid his father's invitation- which was saddening Kusti in return.
○ Dr. Kiira-Elsa Tuuli Korhonen | NPC | Mother
A headstrong woman, basically where Reima gets the protective streak from. She is a dentist and is fiercely protective for his three "baby" sons, there were times that she kind of scolded her husband Kusti when their two sons ended up in a car accident. But other than that, Ruuben is perfectly fine with his mother if she wasn't being protective.
○ Reima Kusti Korhonen | NPC | Older Brother
Reima and Ruuben are an inseperable duo, and they got each other's backs since childhood. Sure, Reima's extroverted personality sometimes overwhelmed Ruuben but he was used to it. He trusted Reima enough that he managed to tell him about his supernatural abilities, and so Reima would do anything to keep his brother from any harm.
○ Riku Sakari Korhonen | NPC | Younger Brother
Riku is the youngest son in the three brothers, who was still studying in Finland. He is a smart and bubbly one, but one problem about him was that he was an untter prankster who just wants to get through his brothers' nerves. No one is as annoyed as Ruuben when it comes to Riku's "adventures".

[Ability information]
○ Clairaudience: He is a medium of an "all-seeing" sorceress and one of the primary abilities that are granted to him is his hypersensitivity to noises. He is able to hear many things even with the slightest of sounds, and if he could focus enough he could identify or pinpoint sounds to himself. Of course, if you ask Ruuben, he would say it's pretty much of a curse than a blessing because with superhearing he finds trouble in truly focusing on what he was doing when he was in somewhere crowded. Noisy places are going to drive him up the wall unless he's wearing earmuffs or some special hearing aids. And when there's physical hearing, there's also psychic hearing. And by psychic hearing, he was able hear voices of spirits and ghosts around him- which was annoying him in a daily basis. But sometimes, when he was actually paying attention to it, it gives him "vibes" to know something bad is going to come in their way- much like a gut feeling.
○ Telekinesis: Straightforward, he can move anything with his mind. Well, anything that is 147 lbs and below (basically, his weight or lighter), anything heavier than that would give a really hard time doing so or worse, a bad case of fatigue and exhaustion.
○ Telepathy: When he is in contact with someone, he would see the memories of a person, their feelings (which is the easiest), or even enter their mindspace if he did enough effort). But most of the time, the best he could see and muster were flashes and fragments of memories/thoughts. The depth of what he could see heavily relies on the person's trust to Ruuben. If the person cannot trust him, then he would have a really hard time doing so. However, if the person did trust him with sincerity, then he could enter their mind in depth and in ease.
○ Spiritual Connection: Ruuben can hear what his spirit Forde had to say anytime. If you want to get an idea, just think of Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes) arguing with his scarab in a daily basis. Luckily, Forde can read his mind (being a medium and all) so he didn't exactly have to voice it out to communicate with her. However, that gave him no privacy over his thoughts and feelings- but in return Ruuben could feel whatever Forde was feeling so it's a fair deal. Actually Forde has the ability to take over Ruuben's body anytime if she liked, but she only didn't do it unless it was really necessary (for example, near-death experiences).
[Weakness information]
○ Sensory Overload: He was yet to get used to his superhearing, because ever since possessing his powers his daily life was affected as well. He could no longer handle noisy place or crowds unless the earmuffs were in his ears. While he could not get fully deaf, screeching sounds could cause him great headache for days. He's much more likely to get knocked off first by a banshee, if you ask him.
○ Limits of Telekinesis: Ruuben definitely won't carry everything as he wasn't mentally strong enough to do so. He could only move objects that were near to his weight, otherwise it would be a struggle and could cause strain to himself. Or worse, he might end up passing out in fatigue if he continued to do in a consecutive manner.
○ Lack of Combat Experience: Ruuben has never fought a criminal, nor had he took any combat training at all. He was only a person who only got powers because the witch spirit was so desperate to get a host. There, he will have a really hard time if he ever encountered anyone who really wanted to attack him, let alone someone more experienced than him.
