Neale Keegan

Neale Keegan is a Zeus High Student and aspiring amp fighter. Among the people of the island and his own classmates, Neale is regarded as a skilled fighter, brushing celebrity status due to his victory at the Forseti Youth Competition.

Appearance
Neale is a young man of average height, with a slim, slightly muscular build and fair skin tone. He has short, dark brown messy hair that falls down to his jawline that frequently hang past his eyebrows. His eyes are sharp and amber in color. Around the time he turned eighteen, he got a dragon-style tattoo that runs from his left shoulder down to his wrist.

During school hours, Neale typically wears t-shirts and jeans, but at the dorms he frequently wears a tank top and sweatpants, the same attire he uses to train. Every now and then Neale chooses to wear shorts when he's really wanting to train and work out.

Personality
While Neale tends to keep to himself and remain quiet in most situations, he is rather driven by ego and the urge to be better than others. He can admit obvious things like Soterians and professionals being stronger than him, but he will never accept the fact that a peer of his could even be close to being better than him. Although Neale greatly values superiority, he only values superiority when it comes to things he’s passionate about, if someone is a better tennis player than he is, he won’t care.. but if someone believes they’re better than him at fighting? He’ll seek to prove them wrong. As brash and aggressive as Neale is, he has a secret soft side that only a select few people can see. Those people being his girlfriend and sometimes his family. On the surface, Neale seems to only enjoy two things: his girlfriend and physical violence, but in reality he enjoys a lot more than you think. A large portion of the things Neale dislikes can be considered him being extremely hypocritical. For example, Neale thoroughly hates people who think they’re better than they actually are.. and he hates people who constantly try to one up others.. even though he can be classified under those categories himself.

Amp
Shock Soles: Neale possesses the ability to release loud, shockwave blasts out of the bottoms of his feet. He can control how destructive the shockwaves are as well. With every shockwave, Neale’s feet, legs and body react to the force, so Neale uses this to advantage by amplifying the speed of his kicks, flying through the air with said power, and even blasting people back with the shockwave itself.

Neale has been able to nullify and almost cancel out the effects of his drawbacks entirely, but they still exist:


 * Using this amp a lot causes his feet to grow extremely sore.
 * Extreme shockwaves cause his feet to sting.
 * Activating this amp with poor positioning can even break Neale's legs, although he has never come close to doing this.
