Alright, first thing: the Candy fields. Jirachi, fun pick; and with that pokemon, the age is interesting. Though, I have 'Bolded' the categories of the sign up, it makes things much better to read and organize. However, your name "Hikaru" is not "Hikaru" throughout the sign up. You also have "Hakeru" as the name for most of the sign up. Which name is he, Hikaru or Hakeru? Also, why would this name come to him? But that query is for later down the Sign up.
On a side note about the age: I am wary on how you might portray the age. Being five years old, alone, might make people talk, and well, I would think a five year old wouldn't be good inependantly, and would require some sort of Aide. Aide thus can be an NPC of yours or something, maybe someone who finds him in the Origin, and sticks with him due to a series of strange events.

He also has small teal teardrop shape markings under his eyes, retained from him being Jirachi of course. His eyes are quite large and sleepy, and Hikaru yawns alot. His skin is pale and incredibly smooth, yet tough ,because of Jirachi's steel-like skin. Dirt and dust just doesn't seem to stick on him at all, almost like stainless steel.
For description, I would ask for more details, and embellishments. For one thing, "Is very short and cute," that needs more explanation. As the saying goes, 'cute' could be another's 'trashy.' And very short, is what? I am 6'2", five feet and five inches, that is very short to me. To a basketball player, my height could be considered "very short" to them. Since I know the age you placed is five, I can assume how you meant "very short," but all I can say is write like you are explaining it to a martian that has never been to Earth before, or something like that. Same thing with weakling, it is unneeded. You can explain it just by talking about his physique which you did in the sentence after.
Hair style and freckles are fine. As for the teardrops under the eyes, I know you probably did not mean this, but it is a tattooed symbolism for people most found in prison. It means that they have killed someone, I think. So it is nothing big, but perhaps it could be slightly revised. Eyes are alright, though "droopy" would be a better word to use instead of "sleepy."
As for the skin, I would prefer a revamp of it. Pale skin is fine, but what is "incredibly smooth" at the same time "tough?" They contradict each other in this wording. The texture of the skin cannot be both at the same time. He could have resilient skin, while still being smooth. Perhaps that is what you meant by ''tough.'' I picture "tough" as more of a "rough hardenned" skin. I've always thought the yellow ''star bits'' of Jirachi the 'steel' form of it, but that is my oppinion. I think the last sentence about stainless steel is not needed, if anything that could go to the miscellaneous section. Also stainless steel is not immune to dust or dirt, it can still collect the small particles. He can still get dirty, stainless steel is named that for it cannot rust.

The sleeves are far too long and Hakeru's little fingers can barely be seen poking out of them, quite like Jirachi's actual arms. The hoodie is yellow, the same yellow as Jirachi's ribbons on it's back. It has a large pouch on the front so Hakeru can carry things in it. He uses the hood as a pillow when sleeping. Later on he finds thick woollen socks and a woollen hat to keep him warm, which will again be yellow.
For your clothing in description; I'd prefer a revamp of it. One reason, his ''wish granting ability'' which I will talk more about in the Aura section. Clothing could be what the character found right at the Origin, but I'm more looking for the style if anything. I found it cute with the oversized hoodie. Though I can't picture a little boy wearing ribbons, but that could add to the cute factor and be a magnet to the ladies. Later on, is currently not needed either. That could be edited into later in the RPG. I think simply discussing the style is needed.
For description, I would like more details all across, even though most of it is acceptable. I did find your description enjoyable as well, as I got a nice image in my head, and could picture some of the personality based on the description. That which made me chuckle. Description is acceptable with exception to the few things I pointed out, but description still can be better. Adding detail is always a plus.

He likes to be looked after, because he is so small and dependent on others and cries a lot when he gets upset. He is able to look after himself aswell however, through basic instinct. He always wants to be around others and hates to be left alone, in this case he will start crying uncontrollably. Hakeru likes to be cheeky though and makes toys out of basically anything he can find, but his simple wish ability provides him with minor things.
Ok, *claps hands* Now for the personality. Your character is young as you have pointed out. With little age, comes naivity, curiousity, ignorance, and an uncanny passion that never seems to tire. That is what I get when you say "very young," but as you said "is very short and cute" I think it should be reworded. "Very" is not a good word to use, as it implied a large measurement, but an unknown assumingly large measurement. The reader can tell the user is young, but instead of stating that, state the maturity of the character. The maturity is the mental age of the person.
Also, your dependant nature: another reason for him to have an Aide. He's an attention seeker, so it seems, and I can see him being impish to a degree trying to bring eyes towards him, both negatively or possitive. I don't see curious and dependant as a 'shy' personality either. Sure he can be introverted in situations, but as you said ''he cries a lot," proves to me that he is simply an attention seeker and not shy to get this attention. I would disagree that he would be able to look after himself in basic instinct. Basic instinct is finding food, water, shelter, and having sex. The 'Flight or Fight' responses. You are dependant on your parent until you mature in both body and mind, roughly around adolescents, in order to ''fend for yourself." His personality cries "needy," so I think "being independent" is false. I suggest a heavy revamp on that.
As for the "simple wish" ability again; that COULD be the thing that provides him with his most basic needs, food, water, shelter, but I would not think he would have the mental capacity for it. He could simply be "Hungry, thirsty, tired." This is acceptable, as everyone can tell when their body is trying to say something to them, I just don't find that an excuse for him to be able to live alone.

He is quite gullible and falls for tricks and pranks easily. He doesn't understand everything, but is sincere and genuine. He likes to sleep a lot, even if it means just curling up in a cardboard box. He is a very heavy sleeper. He loves to hear music, and is attracted towards it. This can also be used to trick him or lure him away. He has a strange fear of spiders and big dogs, which scare him badly.
This paragraph started grammatically confusing, but I think I understand what you meant. Though he's quite selfish in being needy, he really wants to help others? Well you can be selfish and still want to help others. I think from what you wrote though that he would not sacrifice, his needs come first before others. So this "wanting to help" nature contradicts with your first paragraph. You can either be selfish or selfless, you can't be both. You can be one, with a little of the other, but it all comes down to the question "If death is involved, would you help yourself before another, or another before yourself?"
Maturity comes into play in this paragraph as I can see "so young," it is acceptable, but instead of mentioning the youth, talk about the maturity, the mental youth. When you talk about "young" you are more referring tot he physical youth. He is very gullible, but wants to help, that is a deadly combination, as he won't understand if someone wants him to jump off a bridge, which he will do, based on how you described his personality. He lacks common sense. Some people might lack common sense, as it is their character, but how your character lacks it, could be deadly in this RPG. As i had said, your legendary COULD die, at the most easiest of choices to make. One must be very wary. Phobias are nice, but you do not need the bit "which scare him badly." By saying phobias, we already know they terrorify him.
Overall, I think your personality could use a heavy revamp, think things over, and put yourself into your character's shoes to see how they would react to situations based on their personality. Although you got what a five year old could be like, I think you should add more detail. Perhaps add alittle more aggression into it, as he is a boy, and five year old boys act alot differantly than five year old girls. Take what I said, and improve or create an entirely new personality, as I believe this needs heavy work.

It sounded nice, and he believed it meant something, but wasn't sure what. Then he realised he was cold. 'I wish I was warm' he thought. Then he felt something, a glowing sensation really. Then he noticed something on the floor that he hadn't before, a big yellow garment, with a big pouch and hood. He happily walked over to it and pulled it on. Now he was nice and warm. He felt his soft hair as he rubbed his eyes this time, he was sleepy. Hee yawned again, wider this time. he decided to take another nap before exploring around any. He curled up and fell sound asleep, using the hood of his new jumper as a pillow.
Ok, well I can't really comment on the Origin stories with exception to "no you can't do that!" or "Here's a good way to come about an idea," but I found somethings that did not settle with me. First thing, being how he randomly thought of the name. It is possibly, but I would think more something would need to trigger the name; like what if he saw a shooting star, which for reasons unknown was significant to him? Or, perhaps he found litter on the ground depicting a brandname which he adopted it as his name. I can't accept that he just randomly out of the blue came up with the name. How the human mind works, there need to be triggers, both subconscious and conscious.
Also, the "I wish" bit, its acceptable, but superficial. I will talk more about this power in the Aura section. I find it more of a filler for the origin, though it describes the first start of his ''power.'' If anything I would like to see reaction to it. He just saw it magically appear, and took it. I personally would be like "What the heck?!" in heavy suprise. He just seems to lax, even from waking up with a sense of amnesia, he just seems too calm, he needs more emotion. Sure he could be lazy to do anything because a sudden drop in energy making him drowsy, but you did not convey that. For sleepiness, you just made him go to bed. It does not sound ''real'' to me, so with that I think some revamping is needed. Add more realism to your Origin. Add emotion.

He felt unsteady on his feet, like he hadn't done this in a while. He walked past a dustbin which a cat poked it's head out of. Hakeru smiled at the cat and walked on. He found himself out of an alley and onto the street, though nobody was around. He looked around at all the closed down buildings and decided it was quite nice here really. He chose one boarded up store, one that used to sell toys and children's clothes, and clambered in through a smashed window hat was near to the floor. The room was dark but Hakeru found a pair of yellow woollen socks, a woollen yellow hat with blue knitted stripes and a pair of perfectly sized boxer shorts scattered around the abandoned shop. he decided to put them on, for added warmth. Then he found he was once again tired. He scanned around the shop for yet more useful things, then suddenly felt that tingling sensation from before. Before him now was a knitted blanket and a little stuffed animal, a white mouse, before him. He happily laid down and pulled the blanket over him, cuddling up to the new found toy. He slept til morning.
Ok, what I saw was, he woke up, did exploration to a convienantly placed store, which he so easily BROKE into, and it was already fully stocked with things that made him happy? He then went to sleep soundly again, in a strange place. A place, to a child's eyes would be very scary and intimidating in my oppinion. For one thing, the cat you mentioned could be of more significance, perhaps the reason to his name or something? The cat else is just to lable what the location is. You need to add more realism into your origin, and not make things so easily available and linear in his path.

The cat from yesterday joined him and the duo walked on, for quite a long way until Hakeru stopped and sniffed. He could smell something delicious and sweet. He headed on, following the delicious smell, he was so hungry! Then he heard music, and voices. He was nearing a busier part of town. He turned to his companion, the cat, and spoke, for the first time. "C'mon, me and you gonna find some food, yeah?" The cat seemed to nod and Hakeru nodded back. The two walked on happily, as Hakeru licked his lips hungrily.
So he wakes up again, it has been two days now since he first woke up. Though now he is hungry? He has figured what the human body is telling him. An ok end to the origin, so no complaints, and he found a friend in the cat. I think though more work needs to be done in the previous posts.

From your signup, I found quite a few things that could go here. There is never a "nothing," there could be an N/A as in ''ignore" but you could always find SOMETHING to put.

This can be used to conjure up minor things, food, clothes, toys etc. The aura is colored teal and pale yellow and glows nicely. He has a teal mark of a wish tag on his forehead but this is usually covered by his hair though, so cannot be seen all the time. His aura also lets him have mild telekinesis and telepathy, but at first Hakeru can only tap into this psychic power randomly, and feels very tired after using it.
Your power, I like the idea, the concept, however the affect of his abilities, the Wishing skills, I disagree with. Sure he could have a trigger word as "I wish..." Then something happens, but I found it too powerful. Wishing is a powerful magic to say, it altars reality to fit the wish. So in a way, he's altaring space whenever he creates something new. Sure you said minor things, but powers are to grow, and minor will soon become major. I think you should tone this down A LOT. Maybe he can summon material things only temperarily, as then they ''fade away'' as they don't belong in reality. That and what he summons would be cartoonish childish mockeries to fit his mind. He wouldn't be able to summon sophisticated things if he didn't have complete focus. Psychic powers are acceptable, but I would like you to give more detail to them in what they do. Basically I would like to see more drawbacks on your powers and more detail.
