Name: Hide CrintawkAge: 19
Gender: Male
Aspect: An exact replica of Hide, often referred to as his Doppelganger by others. But unlike doppelgangers in story and legend, this copy is a very solid, living thing. It eats, sleeps, cries, and even complains just like everyone else does. It has a mind and personality all of its own, even going as far as to name itself 'Doppel'. But its nearly impossible for people to tell them apart, because even though they clearly have two distinct personalities, they still dress the same and are rarely seen apart unless 'Doppel' is up to something mischievous in an attempt to cause some trouble.
Doppel's known abilities are relatively simple. Should Hide take damage, it is instead transferred to Doppel, leaving Hide free of any wounds or illnesses. At least most of the time! If a wound is sustained that would cause death/permanent damage, it is split between the two of them. Doppel heals a great deal faster than Hide does, even from grievous wounds, in short, it giving Hide a fast recovery time for most things that cripple/kill others.
Area of Specialty: Modification (of living life forms)
Personality: A bit too energetic and jumpy for his own good, Hide is filled with good intentions though is easily bemused and discouraged by the smallest of things. He isn't too fond of fighting, though if it is for the sake of a friend or someone who cannot defend themselves, he is easily the first person to leap into the fray. He doesn't give much thought to himself, leaving him to appear rather impulsive and overindulgent when it comes to others and rather ignorant of his own needs.
Bio: Born into a middle-class family, Hide had a relatively normal family life along side his twin brother. Like some twins, Hide and his brother were very close, much despite the fact that their parents had pinned all their hopes on his brother, seeing as Hide himself fell a bit short of a 'normal' child.
But around the time the twins were eight, tragedy struck for the once family of four. Walking home one afternoon from school, a drunk driver happened upon the street and ran over several children, Hide's brother included. Somehow Hide had managed to survive, if not by a mere thread. But his parents were not happy that only one of their children survived, and the fact that it wasn't the one they had pinned their hopes to either did not help that fact.
It was a short time after his siblings death that Hide began to suffer terrible survivors guilt. Distraught and unsure of what to do to help their remaining child, they tried many things to help him cope. But they did not work well and seemed to only lead to more problems, even with the help of various doctors, he only got worse.
During one particular day of having no sleep for nearly three days, Hide managed to wander from the family home in a confused manor, away from the scornful gaze of his parents. He wandered around for hours by himself, having followed one of the many roads that lead out of the small town. And after so much walking and running on no sleep, he stumbled right into the road of oncoming traffic.
But before anything could happen, he was dragged out of the road by a child looking identical to himself, down to the dirty clothing and dark-circled eyes. Though he was stunned, it was all a bit too much for him to take in and ended up passing out.
Several days later after he awoke, the strange child lookalike was still there and persistently remaining at Hide's side, much to the displeasure of his parents. It was shortly after this that Hide was invited to Caldwell.
