Physical Description:: Yannick stands at six foot one and weighs in at thirteen stone, two pounds. He has an athletic physique from working out and his sporting activities. He has long, slightly curly hair that's a dirty, fair blonde in the sunlight and any other time, a light brown color. Underneath his dark lashes, he had green eyes. He doesn't obsess over what he looks like, so most of the time if it looks like Yannick had bed head, he really has and it's not some style he's perfected. He has more than his fair share of scars gained from stupid stunts and snowboard falls.
Clothing Description:: Yannick doesn't do formal, at all. He pretty much lives in loose clothing. On an average day, he'll wear either three-quarter-length baggy shorts or a pair of jeans, with whatever t-shirt he finds that isn't horribly unclean, a hoodie and a trucker cap. The majority of the caps he owns are Red Bull, because of his sponsor from them for snowboarding. If he does have to dress up for something, Yannick wears black skinny jeans and some form of Etnies or Alpine Stars shirt.
Personality:: When he puts an effort into it, Yannick can be quite charming. He knows the right things to say, the right looks to give, all to get what he wants. Sometimes this comes across as him being slightly cocky, but this isn't the case. Yannicks sense of humor tends to be very dry or sarcastic. Well, that's what he tries to keep it as. If he isn't making jokes by those ways, he tends to make people laugh by acting like a bit of an idiot. Of course, he isn't afraid to make a fool of himself or do something injury inducing for a laugh, but he tries to keep it to a minimum for his bodies sake. It may seem obvious that Yannick is constantly happy. He very rarely lets things get him down, not his family life, not death, nothing. He doesn't see the point in being down and is a firm believer that something good will always come from something bad. Although he's usually happy, it sometimes isn't visible, as he zones sometimes and just has this stupid blank look on his face. Yannick loves pretty much everyone for some reason or another. He'll love a person because of their shoes, their laugh, even if they just like a band he likes. Although he proclaims love a lot, he's never been in love. Sometimes he gets irritated by that, because he would love to have the feeling of a person just being your complete world, but then other times he finds it a god-send because it's more fun to be single.
History:: To say that Yannick was an unexpected baby would probably be the understatement of the century. Lorena Bizouard hadn't been showing any sign of pregnancy so far, and when the doctor diagnosed her stomach cramps as birth, Lorena and Romain went into full on panic mode. Those first few months after his birth became a struggle for the family. They hadn't planned or prepared for a baby and so they were strained to finance his needs whilst still running the household. This was when Asbjorn moved in. With a third adult in the house, it was easier to afford the things they needed. After a while, they gathered enough spare money that they decided to try for another addition to the family. During this time, Yannick spent a lot of time with his uncle (for obvious reasons) and this was when the boys friendship with Asbjorn bloomed. It was his uncle that first took him to a snowboarding show where he became fascinated. When Yannick was three, his little sister Kristine was born. Like most older siblings, Yannick didn't like the attention the younger child was being given one bit. Although he always had his uncle Asbjorn to go to, it just wasn't the same. Eventually, Romain noticed and started to pay more attention to his son. Lorena didn't though, and in the end she would only give Yannick attention when she was scolding him. Over the years, Lorena's seeming dislike of her son caused a strain between her and her husband. Romain was helping his son with snowboarding and spending a lot of time with him which Lorena thought should have been given to Kristine. Eventually, the couple divorced. Lorena took Kristine with her to her native Finland while Romain, Yannick and Asbjorn remained in the house in Norway. Kristine visited occasionally when she was allowed to, but it wasn't very often. About a year after the divorce, when Yannick was ten, he was having one of those 'I can't wait till later!' fits. It came as a shock to him when seconds later it was later on. It may sound like time had just passed quickly because he stopped obsessing over it, but he had in fact travelled through time. Scared, he willed himself back and rushed off to find his father. After explaining, Romain gave Yannick one of those knowing smiles and told him to go talk to his uncle about it. It turned out Asbjorn too had a similar ability, and so he explained about how they were both different and how it was possibly that Yannick would have more gifts. Freaked out, Yannick avoided doing or thinking anything that would change the current time he was in. Instead, he concentrated on entering competitions. During one of these competitions, him and some other kids were playing about with archery. It didn't go unnoticed how Yannick had perfect aim on the bullseye every time. With a gasp of realisation, Yannick discovered his second power. The discovery of the third power came by a bit of luck when Yannick was playing hide and seek. As he ran around his neighborhood trying to find somewhere to hide, he heard the kid who was finding everyone running just around the corner. He stood between a couple of large trees and tried to forward himself in time, but instead he started to blend in with the tree. Come the third power - chameleon. Now Yannick was fourteen, and using his powers to either sneak out of the house or mess around in school. None of this was done to be a typical terrible teenager, he was using it to go snowboarding and skiing, trying to get some practice in so as not to lose his sponsor. Romain knew this wasn't the right was for Yannick to go though. So he and Asbjorn pooled together their money and decided to send Yannick to the same school Asbjorn had attended in his youth - Orchid Hill Academy.
Pets:: Yannick has a pet ferret named Switchblade. Switchblade is not what you would call a normal ferret. Although the little animal can not talk, he can communicate by acting out his point and he is very sensitive to picking up information.
Other:: Yannick - like most of the kids in his home village - is an excellent snowboarder. He is semi-professional with dreams of making a career out of the sport. Along with snowboarding, he's good at skiing and skateboarding. Music wise, Yannick is a big fan of punk rock music. His favorite band is Unwritten Law, with Tvang coming in at a close second. He can play guitar rather spiffingly, but he doesn't do it very often. Yannick's other hobbies include photography, reading, and playing with face paints.
