Charlie Graham Wickham
FACE CLAIM: Erika Linder
♦ THE BASICS ♦
AGE: 16
GENDER: Male (FTM but few know this fact)
ORIENTATION: Heterosexual
POSITION: Student♦ THE ABILITY ♦
POWER: Sonic Scream
- Shatter glass with a high frequency scream. This is the easiest for him to do since he doesn't have to target his power to cause destruction. His vocal training has made it easy for him to understand how to control this version. One scream can shatter what's near him.
- Can push things back with a scream. Can either be accomplished through a "burst" scream or a prolongued one. Charlie prefers prolongued since it takes less force (and therefore reduces the risk of suffering side-effects). The lighter the object, the easier it is for him to move it. However, he's not very good at it because this version requires endurance he does not have yet.
- Can disorientate and confuse. Like the other screams, this requires a different freqeuncy. This is the second most strenuous scream to make and he doesn't do it very often. It requires him to be close and focused on a target, something he needs more training for.
- Cause pain such as headaches and sometimes ear bleeding. This is the hardest for him to do and therefore the most stressful. This requires him to focus his scream on a particular target and reach a painful frequency. It is very hard for him to do since he does not always have the strength to accomplish this.
LIMITATIONS:
- He has to "warm up" his voice. This requires him to move from different ranges to work his voice up into a scream. Going from not talking to a scream can cause bad side effects.
- To cause confusion or pain, he must be very close to the person, at least 5m. Any farther and his power won't do a thing. It's either right in their face or no deal.
- Can only use a prolongued scream for 20 seconds. Attempting to go over for the level of training he's at will have serious consequences
SIDE-EFFECTS:
- Too much strain or use of his power will cause headaches, migraines, a very sore and scratchy throat, and exhaustion. He must rest his voice or risk losing it for a long time.
- Strain can cause him to lose his voice, have vocal chord spasms, or cause coughing fits. Tight muscles must be dealt with as soon as they can or else it he cannot use his power at all. He is also at risk of straining a vocal chord which would have permenent damage on his voice and power.
- If he's not wearing ear plugs, he could cause his own ears to bleed and/or lose his hearing

The Character Study of Charlie Wickham (that’s me)
This blog was created for my Career Management class. My first assignment is to answer the questions given to us by our teachers so we can start to develop what is called our “ideal and employable self”. The goal of the assignment is to make you aware of your likes, dislikes, and stuff like that. But don’t worry, this is a private blog… so I am literally talking to no one right now. Isn’t that ridiculous?
What are your likes?
Guitar. Electric. I don’t just like the thing, I LOVE it. It’s my life, man. What would I do without it? I’m gonna take that gorgeous Les Paul of mine and become a rockstar! People will be screaming my name as I burst out on stage and shred that bad boy. Just you wait. Keep an eye out for the name Charlie Wickham on the news. I should call my parents and thank them for getting me into music.
Hockey and other sports are so much fun! It’s a great way to take out all my energy. Because I’ve got a lot. I’m really into it because Marcus loved it. We’re both hockey sluts. He’s way better than me. I mean, he’s a Junior tier 1 and I’m midget tier 2. He takes hockey very seriously but I know once his time is done with he’s going into law like dad. He talks about it all the time. Since he’s the oldest, dad wants him to take over the business when he retires. Better him than me, I got other plans on my mind than becoming a lawyer.
Big, meaty foods! Burgers and sausage and chilli, oh my! When I hear talk about vegetarianism and veganism, I’m like what? How can anyone just live on plant and a non-animal diet? Humans are MEANT to be OMNIVORES! That means we eat some plants, some animal byproducts, and some- or in my case, a lot- of animals. If you’re a vegan and stuff, I mean you do you, but I am not about that lifestyle. Just don’t try to take away my meats, okay?
Animals! I am in love with animals. If I wasn’t living in the dorms, I would have a big dog. Probably a german shepard or a pitbull. I want one more than anything! Imagine doing your usual life tasks except you have a loyal little pooch at your side! I have a goldendoodle named Sam at home, but he’s definitely loyal to my mom. Such a suckup. She bought him for me but I know it was really a gift to herself. She spoils the hell out of that pooch. But that’s why I need to get a dog on my own, so I can have the connection with that dog like Sam and my mom have.
What are your dislikes?
Veggies are disgusting. I can’t swallow anything green without a thousand complaints, or at the very least a thick layer of sauce to cover it up. Like I said, I would not survive as a vegan or vegetarian. I’m crying just thinking about it. Please don’t ever make me eat a salad :’(
Country music is the actual worst. Okay, you may here me occasionally listening to this, but I don’t do it without reason. I may need it for referencing or studying music history. But I don’t enjoy it, let’s clear that up right now. It all sounds the same and the sound of the vocals just isn’t my thing. I can’t imagine anything worse than being trapped in a car and someone blasting that shit. I’d rather the knock me out and shove them in the trunk for the trip. Seriously.
I don’t like sitting for hours on end! My parents have always pushed me and pushed me to get good grades and be amazing at everything you do, and that means they’ve practically forced my ass on a chair to do homework and more after school. It’s terrible. I mean, I like learning and getting good grades and being a kiss ass and all that stuff, but I just would rather be doing something else. Even playing guitar would be better than just sitting. No desk job for me. Gotta love Type A syndrome.
Name 2-4 dreams you have.
Being a music star! I want to sing and write my own music and play guitar so bad it hurts! I just gotta meet the right people and start getting into production early. I hope someone at the academy can lead me in the right direction. Ever since I can remember I wanted to be a star. I use to watch documentaries on bands and watch music videos and all these things all the while imagining that was me in their shoes. It’s what I want.
Modelling mens wear. Not meaning to toot my own horn, but I’ve had a few modelling jobs and they are wicked fun. You get to look hot and take even hotter pictures of yourself. The girls love it… at least my mom does. She use to be a model so really wanted me to try. When I was super little, like a young child, I use to model for companies like sears and be put on their catalogues. That was when I still allowed them to shove me into women’s clothes.
Be rich and have a beautiful wife and home and a family on my own (hey look, a rhyme). I close my eyes and picture a smart, beautiful, and passionate woman by my side and we have a modern looking home- modest but still impressive in size- and a sports car, couple of dogs, a few kids, and we have charities up in our names. Okay, that may be much but I’m gonna dream big. One of my favourite sayings is “reach for the moon, even if you fall short you’ll land on the stars”.
Be on the cover of Rolling Stones Magazine!
What do you fear?
That people will discover my secret and hate me. I don’t want to be hated. I’m scared that people will turn on me and call me names, hit me, spread rumours, take away my friends. I’m just so scared. Please, please don’t let that happen! I’m tearing up just thinking about it…. I’m mostly afraid of the hurt and anger I will feel if this happens. I wish I could control myself… hurting people will make their hate for me worse. I wonder if Marcus has truly forgiven me?
Hurting people. I do it more than I’d like. I just get so angry sometimes and can’t control the things that come out of my mouth. I can be very mean when I’m mad. It scares me to feel like you can’t keep something in. I know when it gets really bad, I get physical.
Drowning! I love sports, but swimming is NOT one of them. That water is scary and not for me. Okay, I’m gonna be honest, I hate the water because of swim wear. What fits me doesn’t suit me, and what suits me is publically inappropriate. I hate gender roles and stuff. It makes my ‘secret’ very difficult to keep. I’m just lucky my family knows and keeps quiet. This… isn’t the point of this section though. Let’s move on.
Any regrets?
Hurting Marcus during my manifestation. I know he would have hated me forever if I hurt him permanently. We’re both extremely lucky people things didn’t turn out for the worse. I still feel awful though; and I’m worried he’s scared of me. There was a day in August that we got into a fight and it got really heated. I can’t even remember what it’s about anymore, and he refuses to talk to me about it even to this day. He called me something that just made me see red. I screamed at him so loud and next I knew I got a splitting headache and glass was shattering and he got cut up from the window and coffee table. It was a mess. I almost passed out. After that, I couldn’t talk for a solid week, and even after it hurt to speak. At least I figured out I was a freaky ass mutant sooner rather than later. I guess I have that to be thankful for. But Marcus carries the scars for it.
My hearing isn't as good as it use to be. Thanks, sonic screaming. I'm not completely deaf and I actually don't need hearing aids (yet) which I'm thankful for. But I've been wearing ear plugs a lot more because of this. I'm just scared of going deaf. I don't want to be a Beethoven. I actually want to hear the music I write and play.
What achievements have I made and am proud of?
I already have experience in the modelling industry. Well, not in Kalispell, but I’m sure I’ll find something out there once I’m allowed out of the academy (oops, looks like I’m an out of control mutant).
I am sick af at guitar. I practice everyday and won’t stop until my fingers fall off. I think my level of expertise is something to be proud of. I’m always looking to improve and I hope to become one of the best guitar players in the world.
I won a “band leadership” award at my old school. They thought I was a great leader and teacher. They told me I was nominated because I was a very patient person (I was pleasantly surprised to hear that). They also called me compassionate and sweet. They sure know how to charm a guy!
