Occupation: Full time student
Personality: I think in a very simple, sraightforward way. Whenever I make a decision I only think about one thing: is it effective? This generally means I don't do petty things unless I have free time and I try to do the most efficient thing whenever possible. It's not at all unusual for me to try to use my ability to be in more than one place at once. It's not unusual for me to be doing other things, such as drawing, while the teacher's lecturing. My desire to do things efficiently is so strong that my body only seems to need about four hours of sleep and I'm even trying to work that down to three. I even speak in incomplete sentences sometimes simply because I can convey the same meaning in less words.
I can seem very serious at times, but that is far from true. I have a very dry sense of humor and I'm very sarcastic. I like to make fun of people, I like to make fun of myself, I just like to make fun of everything. Life isn't meant to be taken seriously. While I think wasting time is a sin beyond description that does not mean that people shouldn't enjoy life. After all, time that someone spent enjoying themselves is not wasted time. Anyway, as I said I don't take too many things seriously so it's almost impossible to offend me. Chances are I will find away to turn a person's insult back on them if they have the audacity to insult me. That's more fun anyway.
I am very level-headed and calm to the point of seeming stoic and emotionless at time. Despite the rather flat expression that almost always seems to grace my face I am almost always happy. Of course, it would be very difficult to tell when I'm angry, annoyed, estatic, hungry, jealous, deviouis or anything else because my expression rarely changes. Like I said, I'm not all that serious so I have no idea why this is. It just kind of happens. Though, I do notice that there are subtle changes in my expression all the time. Someone with an untrained eye wouldn't be able to catch them, but I can. I'm very observant and I have an excellent memory, which is very useful considering what my super power is. I also tend to react very quickly to any given situation.
Which leads me to this. I almost always seem to be able to find the right thing to say. I am generally blunt, frank and honest, but I know the right times to lie and the right times to use euphemisms. I know when to be serious, I know when to be sarcastic. And beyond that I've found that I can leave people completely speechless under the right curcumstances. I'm very creative in severl different ways, and I'm not just including the fact that I like to draw.
I generally like people unless they're jerks or just plain boring. I'm reasonably outgoing, and I enjoy talking to interesting people. To a point anyway. I don't know exactly why this happens, but I really dislike getting too close to people. Once a person crosses a certain, invisible boundry it is not at all unusual for me to act downright hostile towards them even if they've done absolutly nothing wrong.
Now, for those people that have done something wrong...Well that's when I get serious. While I may almost never get offended it is not that hard to annoy me. Simply besting me in anything will annoy me as I hate losing. Remember when I said that I had a good memory? The people that manage to irritate me will wish that I didn't. I hold grudges for long periods of time; in fact I don't generally let them go until I am ahead on my invisible scoreboard.
I can also be considered...Lazy for lack of a better word. I do other things with the people I don't like as well. What more can you do with a useless person than try to make them useful to you? I try to get people to do things for me, even if I have to manipulate them into doing it. I'm an exceptionally good liar even without my super power, but my power just makes me a more effective one. I do not like to waste time, so what better way to make the best use of my time than to get others to do things for me? That way I can spend my own time doing something worthwhile while other people are doing things I consider worthwhile as well?
Though, I do not consider myself lazy at all. I can seem lazy because I often don't do my school work (it's a waste of time) though. Anyway, when I actually find something that I deem worth my time I throw myself at it and I don't stop until I get bored or if it's a specfic goal, I don't stop until I succede or get bored. I am better than a hard worker; I'm a hard and efficient worker. After all, wasting time is a grave sin and simply being a hard worker will not be enough save you.
Likes:
- I love sweets. Anything full of sugar, caffine, fat, and unhealthiness. I love them all. If it weren't for one of my major hobbies I would probably be very fat considering the amount of sweets I eat.
- That major hobby I spoke of would be karate. When I was young I thought it would be a lot of fun to get into something that allowed me to punch and kick things without getting into trouble, and I was right. More than right actually, I'm so glad I decided to do this. So, because of the nature of the activity, I have to exercise a lot to do well, even if working it is kind of boring.
- My other major hobby is drawing. I don't go for any kind of realism, I just draw whatever I feel like drawing. Some people have asked me if I was on drugs when I showed them some of my work, but it just comes out that way because I draw whatever happens to be on my mind.
- I love games. All kinds of games, video games, board games, sports, you name it. I am extremely competitive, and I love competing, so it's only natural that I would like games.
- To add to that, I particularly like strategy games such as chess. Any game that makes you think about how to destroy your enemy is very interesting to me.
- Continuing with the game theme, I love winning. Sure, I doubt that anyone dislikes winning, but I believe that the extent that I love winning to is worth noting. It's like I keep a mental scoreboard, and if someone is beating me I must do something to make myself better. I may even stoop as low as to cheat, though that comes more from a hate of losing than a love of winning.
- I love being warm. Almost all of my clothing will have sleeves, either that or I'll wear a jacket, even in the middle of summer. I don't believe there is such thing as being too hot.
- I love cartoons, particularly highly stylized ones. That's probably not too shocking considering what I like to draw. I tend to pay more attention to the art than the actual story if there is one though.
- I love comic books. So much so that I would actually like to write my own. So much so that I actually like the idea of being some kind of super hero.
Dislikes
- Reapeating myself. I have no idea why this irks me so much, but it does. I tend to get extremely sarcatic when people make me repeat myself.
- Slang for reasons I cannot explain. I can't help but want to slap everyone that dares to say "dude" or "spiffy" in front of me.
- The color green unless it's neon. I just think it's ugly I guess. Though, neon green is very pretty in my opinion though it can burn the eyes a bit.
- While I'm sure everyone hates this, I hate it do such a degree that I think it's worth mentioning. I absolutely dispise incompetence. If I deem somone incompetent then I will not work with them unless there is an extremely good reason for it.
- I hate wasting time to the point that I refuse to waste any time at all. If it's not worth my time I will flat out refuse to do it. It's not unusual for me to "forget" to do my homework because of this.
- Water and getting wet. It makes me feel heavy, cold and just unpleasant.
- People that can't laugh at themselves. I like to make fun of everyone, including myself. If people are overly sensitive they tend to get on my nerves. Of course, I'll just mock them more than I would otherwise just to be obnoxious, but it doesn't make me any less irritated.
- Not getting my way. I firmly believe that I'm always right and if people don't see things my way they are obviously wrong until they somehow manage to convince me that they're right. I fully admit that I'm a selfish egotist.
- Long hair. It can look good on some girls, but overall I just think it looks terrible. Of course, this is just a simple dislike and I wouldn't refuse to interact with someone just because they have long hair. I'm not that unreasonable.
- And last but not least, oh certainly not the least. In fact, out of everything that I've listed this bothers me more than any of them. I absolutely hate it when people ask me my gender. Seriously, can't people tell just by looking at me? I need to come up with more witty responses to this because saying that "there are no genders on the planet I live on" is just getting old.
Sight: Neither
Abilities: I am an illusionist. A true illusionist at that. I can do more than manipulate someone's sight, I can manipulate all five of their senses. Granted I'm only good with sight and sound right now. I can manipulate people's sight about as easily as I can write. Manipulating sound would be like doing chemistry; in other words, harder but doable. Though, I can replicate my own voice as easily as I can write as well. I'm getting better with scent, but I'm as good at manipulating that as I am theoretical physics, in other words I can create some scents just like I might understand some terms, but I can't do anything extremly useful wtih it yet. Touch and taste are just out of my league at this point. I know I need direct contact with the person to manipulate both, but even then it's not really even worth doing.
Anyway, all of my illusions are just illusions as one would expect. Meaning they don't actually exist. So if I created an illusionary wall, no matter how realistic it was, someone could still walk right through it. On the off chance I was actually able to make someone feel like they were on fire they would not have any burns on them.
What I can do with sight at least is only limited by my own imagination. I imagine (pun not intended) that once I master all the other senses that they will work the same way. Unfortunately for the world I'm a very creative person.
::The Past::
History I'm a normal fourteen-year-old child, I'm not sure what you're expecting to see here. My life isn't very exciting now, and it was even less exciting when I was younger. But, if you really want to know about me I suppose I can tell you what I actually remember.
Like most humans I do not remember anything that happened to me before my fifth birthday. Unfortunately, this also means that I do not remember when I discovered that I had an affinity for illusions. According to my parents they first discovered that I was an illusionist when I was two years old. Apparently I "made" my eyes pop out of my head like a character in a cartoon I was watching. Obviously, I didn't actually do that and my eyes were in my head the entire time. From then on I would continue to immitate things I saw in cartoons, and I would do other things like make it look like I ate all my broccoli. I don't remember any of this. I can only say what my parents have told me. However, I can say from experience that being an illusionist is as normal as having black hair and I can manipulate them as easily as I can write.
Other people didn't feel the same way. Needless to say, elementary school was...interesting. I made no effort to hide my abilities much to my parents' displeasure. I've always been interested in super heroes, and even at such a young age I wanted to be one. So, I pretended like I was. It was easy enough for me to create fake problems for me to fix, but that wasn't nearly as interesting as real ones. So, I intentionally caused a lot of problems between students. I would say that so-and-so "liked" so-and-so or that person A stole something of person B's or that bystander #2 was lying about not true thing #11. I would get in trouble for doing such things on a regular basis, but I didn't mind. It was fun.
Fortunately for the entire world I matured. I did try to fix real problems when they came up, but I wouldn't go out of my way to create any trouble. I simply continued to read comic books, and at the age of around ten or so I started to draw them as well. None of them are very polished or professional, but I have a lot of fun writing them. I have even more fun drawing.
My father is a doctor. I've always lived in a small town, but he still made prety good money. Just a few months ago he decided that he was needed in some town I've never heard of in the middle of nowhere; that town is obviously Brookshire in case you weren't smart enough to figure that out. He actually took a bit of a paycut coming here, so I don't understand why he did it, but such things are completely out of my control. So I said farwell to my friends and moved from one boring small town to an even more boring small town in the middle of nowhere. I heard that the school here was meant for people with super powers like me, they even have this rediculous rule that says that you can't use your powers in the school, so I guess that kind of proves that most of the people here do have some kind of super power. I still don't know if he decided to uproot my entire life just because of my powers because I'm too bitter to find out. Beyond my illusions my life has been pretty normal.
