"The Basics..."

Name: Brookes Kingston

Nickname: Nothing but he doesn't mind one.

Age:
Sixteen years old and in eleventh grade.

Gender:
Male

Sexuality:
Bisexual

"The Appearance..."

Description of Appearance:
His face is fairly soft looking with little harsh lines. He has a sweet smile with medium sized lips, not too full, not too thin. His dark brown hair wraps gently around his head and is easily managed. He's fairly pale and slender with gentle blue eyes that seem to always show what emotion he is really feeling, aside from the ones that he is picking up from others, showing that he might be able to subconsciously recognize and feel his own emotions if not consciously.

Style:
Brookes tends to gravitate towards "Safer" clothes such as sweaters. His signature look is dark blue jeans with a black sweater, topped off with a pair of fingerless gloves which make him look like a homeless person.

Distinct Markings:
Brookes has a stud piercing on his lower lip off to the side along with blue highlights in his hair.

"Delve A Little Deeper..."

Likes:
Reading, being alone, playing piano, people who talk a lot, music.

Dislikes:
Quiet people, being in large groups, littering, rude people, rap, country, anger, sadness, other negative emotions, when people have strong emotions.

Personality:
Brookes is that shy kid who sits in the back of that class and drifts off in his own mind. He suffers from selective mutism so he finds it hard to talk to people at certain times. Brookes is normally happy but can go "Dark" in a split second if something happens. He is normally sweet as well despite the fact that at a time, he could be experiencing a plethura of emotions. He tries to hide this fact but it can be seen. In times when someone would be filled with joy, he might only act slightly ecstatic. Brookes is very tired a lot of the time due to his mutation and he tends to find a way to sleep wherever he is. Even so, he manages to get things done and is fairly efficient. Overall, Brookes is very kind and considerate despite the fact that he is shy but he can become very angry in a split second. Also, due to his living situation, Brookes is very rebellious against authority but still finds it hard to interact with other teenagers.

Strengths:
Brookes excels at talking out someone's problems, that is, if he is comfortable with talking to them in the first place. Brookes is also very endurant, mentally due to the fact that he suffered emotional abuse from students at his school. He has also become fairly adept at not expressing his emotions as well which make it hard to read him sometimes because he could be acting happy when he is really angry or sad.

Weaknesses:
Sports. Brookes cannot accomplish any physical activities to save his life. He has asthma so running for too long will give him an asthma attack. Luckily he carries around an inhaler but it still makes a lot of things a challenge. Branching off from his ability to hide his emotions, he never gets help when he feels negative emotions and therefore, he never really deals with them correctly.

"The Talent..."

Mutation:
The fun part. Brookes gained empathic perception. The ability to feel and decipher the emotions of others. Brookes can literally feel the emotions of anybody near him which in his case, backfires a lot of the time. In addition, he is able to feel the "Emotional residue" of a place when strong emotions are felt there which can cause him to have visions and recall what occurred at the spot. He is also able to detect lies (Unless the person can mask their emotions.) and take away the emotional pain of someone else completely and feel those emotions instead. And finally, the combat aspects. Brookes is able to send certain emotions to a single target or group of targets. If strong enough, he can cause confusion and fear in enemies and clarity and courage in allies. Improving their mental capacity whilst greatly weakening enemies.

Mutation Strengths:
Brookes' powers are strong in certain situations. He can find out many things when it comes to people but he's not good with battle. The mutation is improved when there are more people around him. The more emotions he feels the stronger his power becomes. In large crowds he can even knock people out with sheer emotion but there is a backfire to this strength.

Mutation Weaknesses:
Brookes doesn't handle others' emotions well. As the amount of people around him grow, the more crazy he becomes. Even though his power grows, it also causes vast amounts of mental damage to him. Sometimes driving him to insanity for short periods of time. It's also terrible because if he is fighting just one person with nobody around, he couldn't do much to save himself. The combat aspects of his power are very weak when in a place with little amounts of people. Thus in order to be useful. he has to hurt himself by experiencing too many emotions for a single brain to handle.

"Delving A Little Deeper..."

History:
Brookes' history is a fairly odd one. He was born in Bemidji, Minnesota and had no siblings and two loving parents. His parents died in a car accident which he barely survived. He later moved in with his aunt and uncle who didn't care about him, only the money they gained from taking him in. As such, no help came during school times when he became even more shy than before. He would be occasionally teased by other students but was left alone most of the time. After discovering certain alternative rock bands, he oddly enough, became more rebellious. Brookes was still shy but he began to do things like paint graffiti (Which wasn't very good) and do drugs. One time, he went to a friends house and they pierced his lip even though his aunt didn't let him. He even considered getting an illegal tattoo but decided against it. Brookes history is filled with rebellious acts and several attempts at running away. Needless to say, Brookes doesn't like to listen to authority but he has problems dealing with other teenagers, feeling far too shy around anyone he meets. His aunt was glad to get rid of him when they came to take him to the facility.

Other:
Nothing for now. I might find something later. I just got a major case of writers block. Also about the whole developing an emotional bond. It feels like a bit of a stretch so I can easily remove it C:
