FACE CLAIM: Penn Badgley
♦ THE BASICS ♦
AGE: 19
GENDER: Male
ORIENTATION: Pansexual
POSITION: College student at Bellefonte Academy♦ THE ABILITY ♦
POWER: Receptive Psychic Sonar
Receptive Psychic Sonar is a telepathic ability which allows the user to, using their own psychic energy, to "map out" an area with psychic tendrils. The user, for example, could walk into a room and reaching out with their ability know where everything is within the room, and who is within the room, without moving from that one spot. It can go as far as to map out the persons therein emotional and physical state. Pen, due to his disability, is nearly blind, but his ability allows him to "see", although not in the same manner as a normal human. Rather he uses these invisible tendrils of psychic energy to feel his way around an environment, and the information is then feed back to the brain to provide a mental "map" of things around him.
The secondary ability Pen has is that due to his main, his other senses have also enhanced. This is not to the level of someone who's power is specifically heightened hearing for example, but it's still greater then that of the average human.
LIMITATIONS:
The further away a person is from Pen the harder it is for him to "see" them. Pen's ability is in near enough constant use up to about a metre radius around him, although this is limited to only basic space mapping. In order to see beyond that radius, or to map out a person's emotional state, he must reach out himself. This where it really begins to take a toll on him.
Pen's ability can only stretch so far. He can, at the height of his ability's strength and with a high level of concentration, roughly map out an entire building. He however would only be able to hold this for around a minute, and would only be able to sense the presence of a living thing.
Pen can only sense the emotional state of those within a metre radius of himself, and even then has to focus his energy on that one person in particular. He cannot see the emotions of others generally, and must make a significant effort to do so.
Pen's ability can be cancelled out by those with psychic blocking abilities. If they activity them, Pen cannot see them with his sonar, which means due to his disability, he cannot see them at all.
SIDE-EFFECTS:
Headaches that can turn into migraines, which can lead to nosebleeds. Eventually this would lead to collapse, and possibly brain bleeds.
Restlessness, which can lead to insomnia. His ability will on occasion reach out while he's asleep, which usually startles him awake.
Since Pen's ability at a low level is nearly constant, by the end of a long day he's often very exhausted, and as a day goes along he begins to struggle to map out even the area close to him.
Focusing on someone's emotional state for too long can cause these emotions to filter through to himself; Their effects can last anything from a few minutes to a few hours depending on the length of time spent psychically feeling them directly. Ir's also noted that those who are psychically receptive or have an emotion based ability mat be able, depending on their ability, to sense him mapping them out if stood nearby.♦ THE CHARACTER ♦
HEIGHT: 6"1
HAIR COLOR: Dark brown
EYE COLOR: Dark brown
MISC: Pen has a little bit of a fascination with magic, and has a tattoo pack of cards, fanned out, across the back of his shoulder blades.
PERSONALITY: A bit of an idiot, a spark of energy with a tendency to get over emotional, Pen is an insecure heart hidden beneath a warm smile and a flourish of magic tricks. He's excitable, and loves being out and about, getting frustrated if he doesn't have something to do. This comes from his childhood, where he often grew upset at not being allowed to join in with his siblings in an activity. Now that he can somewhat see, he's embraced doing things he couldn't do previously without some form of aid. When he was younger, he was far shyer, taught to rely on the aid his parents provided to help him get through on a day to day basis; Since his ability manifested, he's grown steadily more outwardly confident.
Having not held his parents' heavy expectations due to his disability, Pen has grown to be more carefree then a few of the Bellefonte siblings, but with that has come the knowledge that his parents do not, even now, see him as being as capable as his brothers and sisters. This has left him feeling inwardly insecure about himself; He feels far less talented, far less intelligent, and far less worthy then his siblings. When met with an emotional problem, he'll overreact or try to make light of it, and is only likely to truly show his feelings in private; He doesn't want to show any more weakness then he already feels he's presented to his family.
He's desperate to be relied on, to be someone the family will turn to instead of being the "pitied" child. He cares deeply about his family, especially his siblings, and what he lacks in courage about himself he has in buckets when it comes to them, especially his baby sisters. He cares quickly, and grows attached to others in a relatively quick space of time. He has always had a tendency to be overemotional, and is quick to anger, but is also quick to develop romantic feelings. He's held a number of crushes, but rarely has the confidence to come forward with it. He often teases those he likes, acting like a giddy schoolboy.
SECRET(S): He knows about his sister Erika's sexual orientation, having sensed changes in her emotions in the presence of different people over time. He's not brought it up to her as of yet.♦ THE HISTORY ♦Born into the Bellefonte family along with the other two of the triplets, Pen was the middle child, born just before his baby sister Erika. It was quickly realised that while he was overall a healthy baby, Pen was born near enough completely blind.
With his Father mostly absent due to work, Pen was left under the very overprotective and overbearing care of his Mother. Despite his disability, Pen's childhood was fairly ordinary; Despite being born into money and social standing, not everything was handed to him and his siblings. He was, however, often babied by his Mother due to his disability, but he wasn't unaware that while she often treated him as though she was handling glass, she didn't seem to think him anywhere near as capable as his older brother.
Pen was aware, unlike so many, about what the future likely had in store for him and his siblings, although he feared gaining a power he wouldn't be able to utilise well due to his poor eyesight. Around the time he turned eleven, Pen manifested his powers (a few days after his older brother, and a few days before Erika) and within a week, he had transferred school and was a student at Bellefonte Academy. His powers, when he first gained them, brought him to tears. He could finally see, and needed no aids to help him get around; Although the first day he majorly over exhausted himself, had a nosebleed and collapsed.
Pen, although naturally shy in childhood, flourished in Bellefonte. He made a few friends and thrived in a new community where he finally felt as though he was normal.
His days have become similar to Erika's, busy day to day routines involving school work, parties and honing his abilities, which continued throughout his years at Bellefonte and even more so as he entered his first year of college. He wants to be a magician, much to his parents' irritation.♦ THE PLAYER ♦
