Name: Daffy
Age: 17
Universe: This world is a sort of fantasy video game universe, complete with fantasy creatures of every stripe and magic. It's very Final Fantasy, complete with airships, strange machines, and impossible weapons and attacks.
Instead of a king, the main continent the world is set on is governed by a council of 7 dukes. This continent is surrounded by 7 islands, each ruled by a separate lord. It's barely into the steam age and still mainly pastoral. It's a peaceful world, if you ignore the monsters.
Personality: Daffy is socially awkward to the extreme. Having rarely left his comfort zone, he's a bag of nerves when it comes to people, which occasionally manifests itself as sullen grumpiness, but more often appears as quiet observation. He's easily embarrassed, especially when he tries to be serious about things and filled with what is slowly developing into a serious loathing of his social abilities. He's jealous of anyone who seems more competent than he is and anyone who seems like they might be a threat to the few friends he has. He's constantly driving people away by lashing out, which only makes him angrier.
He comes across as aloof because of his fear of social situations, but there's a core of dork and love below his hard outer coating. He does want friends, but any friends will have to deal with his insecurities and quirks. He's always setting incredibly high expectations for others which they constantly fail to live up to, which utterly destroys him. The boy is looking for people to look up to, though he views himself as being completely unable to achieve anything. He puts other on a pedestal in order to remind himself of how lowly he is.
You'd think someone with the ability to control water would be calm, but in reality Daffy is more like a churning sea. But there are hidden depths to his dork. He honestly wishes to take care of people and often takes on a great deal of responsibility to make sure other people are alright. He's repressed and awkward and probably stupid, but he would like to think he's capable of being noble, even if only occasionally.
Having never met his parents and grown up in the school, the idea of being nurtured by something other than academia is alien to him. As is living alone, even if he's always felt cut-off from the crowd. Being on the ship with only a few others will be nervewracking.

Physical description: Daffy is 5'10, and though there's a few muscles on him from his religious swimming, genetic slenderness is winning out so far. His eyebrows are large, with two black eyes peering out underneath and usually a scruffy beard/mustache combo. He thinks it makes him look extra handsome. HELLO LADIES. Questionable decisions regarding facial hair are a thing with him. He keeps the hair on top of his head short and either brushed or kept under a beanie. To long and it get wavy.
Generally speaking, Daffy throws on whatever's most comfortable and lying within range. He has about three outfits that he wears regularly.
Background: Daffy must have been born, he's sure, but he doesn't remember his parents. As far as he knows, his mother died right after he was born and his father is unknown. He was raised in an orphanage for much of his childhood. A display of magical power whilst playing in puddles at the age of three led to the head of the orphanage contacting the local academy for magicians. It was agreed that as soon as he was old enough to understand the lessons, he would be given over to them.
Afterwards, the other children treated him differently. There was nothing outright cruel in what they did, but understanding he was not the same as they were, they excluded him. Magical potential was rare and powerful, Daffy was already aloof and shy, now he was strange and possibly dangerous. A few of the older boys used to try and make him show them his power, but he refused until eventually they too stopped bothering him. Most of his life at the orphanage was spent absorbed in books, trying to ignore how lonely he felt.
At the age of ten he was taken to the academy to learn. Many of the other children were his age or older, and while he might have fitted in perfectly here, he was socially awkward and overly eager, as well as jealously guarding his friends from other children, who he saw as interlopers. Being his friend and keeping him happy were generally too difficult for the average child and he was soon left with only a few friends.
He's graduating soon, which will mean either staying on to take classes - which he is far too insecure to do - or taking whatever meager possessions he's built up over the years and heading off to find himself in the seven duchies. Right now, he's stalling for time. Neither option is good for him. So it's probably a great thing that he just got abducted by aliens.
Skills: A pretty good cook for someone who's never had to live alone. Daffy is also surprisingly strong; recognising that generally mages crumple like paper in battle, he's honed his right hook to an art form. He doesn't sing badly.
Daffy's magic means he's both resistant to and holds control over water. What this means is that cold doesn't bother him, he's a naturally strong swimmer and unlikely to be swept away by currents. It also means he can command water with spells both spoken and unspoken. On ship, he's still a strong swimmer, but he can feel the cold and he can control only a small amount of water at any given time.
He doesn't have a limit break yet.
