David stands tall at 6'2, although his near-bald haircut may stand out more than his height. Typically his dark brown/black hair would reach his eyebrows, let loose yet naturally straight although currently it is growing back after a #2 cut that Dave recently undertook.

David's British and Scottish fair-skinned complexion is only interrupted on his forehead where two spots still reside on the righter side of his forehead and by his grown out body hair visible from his arms. David sees his large ears and slightly crooked nose as a fault, which he attempts to bend into the supposed correct shape continuously. His eyes show faint traces of blue, although it is only a small amount.

He is frequently wears a long sleeve and gray button-shirt, typically with the sleeves rolled down unless he is relaxing and his top button is always found undone. In regards to trousers, he wears worn-blue jeans with faded knees and a black leather belt around his waist. David does not wear jewellery of any kind, although he may wear a watch occasionally and may carry his black body, red wheeled penny-board with him or perhaps ride it around.

Along with his broad posture he walks with an upright posture while he stands, although slouches to a degree while relaxed or in thought. Inspecting his left thumb one would find two long scars travelling horizontally, a memento from a failed woodcarving experiment long ago when he was 10 and ill-equipped for life. When speaking, David's British accent is clear - although an occasional word is pronounced in the Scottish form due to the teachings of his father.

David had only been to the US once before he began to attend Grand Ridge Academy, a week when he was only twelve where he stayed in Orlando; visiting Universal studios and the enormous shopping centres with his mother, father and younger brother. His parents weren't from Farmer Hill either - the father being brought up in rural Scotland and then Wales whilst his mother being a "raised-rich" Londoner.
The father, Callum, had begun life going to the royal high school in Edinburgh. Being the eldest of two he became a typical local man who found it easy to talk to strangers and joke. Although being largely overweight and a heavy smokey had once been a tall, strong and fit young lad with a small afro and flat stomach. Years later after a leg injury he can no longer run not walk for long periods, though that isn't helped by either his smoking or lack of exercise. This began to bring his mood down, although he always had anger and control problems to begin with. Currently he is out of work although he is searching, he is an offshore oil-rig consultant.

Meanwhile the mother, Vanessa, was the youngest of three, the oldest a boy and the other another girl. Their father began as a rich entrepreneur and business owner, once having a camera shop on Trafalgar square - the centre of London. She was brought up on ski holidays, rolls Royce and without regard for money. Her mother and father became lazy as she grew and she had to become responsible for herself as did her siblings, at twelve she began cooking and cleaning for her parents, as well as travelling to the bus stop with her siblings to move around. Regardless of their past wealth, the father ended up bankrupt in the end. She grew to be highly responsible, and would believe that she is responsible for everything she is made aware of. Currently she is working for a telecommunications company.

David was born and raised for most of his life within and around Britain. Having family all over the country, they travelled frequently on holidays to see them; Cousins in Edinburgh, Looe, Cambridge and Rickmansworth while a single uncle in London, though that was while he wasn't working.
For the first eleven years of his life, David was mostly secluded. Their home was a relatively small home in a woodland, with several neighbors who were all old pensioners already with no children their age. The nearest town was a forty minute walk away and so most days and nights it was David in his room reading or playing by himself, his own brother was the same and neither enjoyed to converse much.

At five, David began at his first school, an all boys. This was not where he made friends, after two years the entire student body began to either ignore or abuse him, with a child strangling him at six and three attempts to drown him between eight and nine. Needless to say he preferred to reside in the school library on school days. During the ages of six to eleven, apart from his family, he only spoke regularly to teachers, and that itself was only when they asked him questions. David was quiet at home, whenever he could he wouldn't involve his parents in his affairs as he believed that once again she would take control of his life, while his father would boom louder than the storm clouds with his anger filled voice and may even smite him, as he had done on several occasions in the past.

When David admitted to his parents that he despised the school at eleven, holding back the tears as he spoke. They decided to move him to another school - although this was not much better. It was another all boys although that was not a problem, it was again the fault of the students who were violent and harsh. He once again became an outcast, but this time he created a group of friends, five others to be precise, and each school break they would meet in an open area between the sciences and english buildings, where they as the outcasts could be social. This was where David truly began to learn any social skills.

At this point, David had yet to begin working at a high level - his grades were a representative of what he remembered from classes and nothing else, and so he wasn't predicted to be anything as he grew up. This changed as he read his first Sherlock novel, before the age of thirteen he had read many books, but none like Sherlock. At once he became engrossed in the intelligence of the character, how he could deduce almost anything with sound logic. Although this did not take David onto the path of a detective, he gained a respect for knowledge and gained a drive for his life, albeit a rather typical one.

This drive took him to invest into his future by working hard, after gcses came A-levels, in which he gained high grades, though not anything outstanding - due to this he wasn't able to enter Oxbridge, as a compromise he travelled to the US for the Grand Ridge Academy, renowned in the sciences, currently he is situated in a dorm room.

ABSTRACTION ⫻ Knowledge Replication - The ability to replicate other's knowledge and intelligence.

ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻ David consciously mimics the knowledge and intelligence of a person within a twenty-five meter radius centred around himself by imagining the person in his mind. David is also able to replicate their movements even if he is unable to see them.
As long as the person is within the radius then the 'flow' of information is continuous and can grow - Immediately: A form of mind reading, David can recall information actively being used by the individual, what is on the forefront of their mind, for example such as the name of a bird a ornithologist nearby is thinking about. After five minutes David begins to acquire their non-physical abilities such as problem solving or mathematics prowess and also begins to replicate the knowledge that a person holds. After seventy-two hours David can recall any and all of the knowledge an average person holds as well as physically demanding abilities and skills.
The 'flow' of this power only lasts as long as the people are within his radius, once they are removed from the area the replication of their knowledge fades over time from David's mind unless he attempts to memorise an amount.
Later David can learn to harness his power in a new way; by creating a mental-link between him and the target, which he can create two of at any one point. With these links, which can be removed at will and as long as the people are in Farmer Hill, the flow continues.

IN THE PRESENCE OF THE MOUNTAIN ⫻ Complete intelligence and knowledge replication becomes near-instantaneous. The range of this ability grows to anyone around and close to the mountain, with no limit to the number of mental-links David can produce.
Recall becomes permanent as long as David is still within the presence of the mountain. After five minutes can begin to recall their memories. This process completes like the others where he can recall any memory that they can after a duration, although the fewer memories the faster the process, which typically lasts eighty minutes.

AURA SENSING ⫻ David can see 'group collective auras' in a single-mile radius - to say, those who have recently travelled in a group will glow a colour relating to the group. The larger the group at the time, the brighter the colour. Those who have travelled in multiple groups will emit more than one colour.

LIMITS ⫻ David's abstraction has a range limit which means he cannot use his abstraction on people past a certain point. David will have a hard time sorting out thoughts in a person's head. While he gets information from the forefront of the mind, he also gets all the weird and sexual thoughts that are not only useless to him, but also slows down the process. The Awakened are not immune to the process, but they can feel the connection that David has made, and at will are capable of dispelling it at will.

WEAKNESSES ⫻ David's abstraction causes a mental "bleed effect" as the thoughts, personality, and memories, of those he mind-links start to become his own. He slowly starts to absorb the memories of that person as long as the mind link persists until there's nothing left of that person. Even if the link is broken, David retains a bit of that person. Whether it be their personality, their memories, and so on. In addition, his mind taking on so much information can be damaging, and after a lengthy mind link he may need a break or else he'll suffer a complete mental overload that'll not only stop him from thinking straight, but cause him severe pain.
