Arnold Reginald Grant
FACE CLAIM: Robert De Niro
♦ THE BASICS ♦
AGE: 72
GENDER: Male
ORIENTATION: Heterosexual
POSITION: BA History Teacher♦ THE ABILITY ♦
POWER: Memory Absorption
Arnold has the ability to copy memories from someones mind. In each case he is copying the neural network which makes up the memory, potentially deleting some of his own memory in the process.
Mind-walking.
In order to sift through the memories Arnold has to enter what he likes to call "The Minds eye" where the easiest accessible memories are on the top layer and you have to work to get further to repressed/older memories. So finding out a person's name is easiest but finding out if they have been abused is much harder. Think Psychonauts.
LIMITATIONS:
It's much harder to access a person with a mental power memories.
There is a limit to how many memories can be copied at once.
In order to copy memories Arnold has to make physical contact with the person.
It can take some time to copy memories across but this mainly depends on the memory itself. So a easy memory might might a few seconds but something repressed could take hours or days.
Even if the person doesn't mental powers they can try to kick Arnold out of their mind.
SIDE-EFFECTS:
Headaches.
Memory Loss as he trades copied memories for existing ones.
Can't tell what memories are his and what are other peoples.
Identity problems.♦ THE FREEFORM ♦Arnold wasn't sure why he was here. At this point in time Arnold wasn't sure Arnold was his name. Everything seemed so foggy. Any memory he tried to grasp hold of slipped through his hands. Things he thought were true collided till he couldn't make tops or tails of what memories were his and what memories were...
There was a pair of men in dark black suits who were trying to ask him questions but all sound was muffled. He tried speaking but no sound seemed to escape. There were so many questions he wanted to ask but couldn't form the words. Where was he? What's happening? Had he done something wrong? And the most important question of all. Who was he?He stared blankly into space, his mind recalling memories which were not his. A loving father. A perfect family full of joy and happiness. Long summer days and cosy winter nights. He knew he had no business is looking at these memories. No business in making up a past he couldn't remember. Wouldn't remember. Eyes flickered down to his notebook Arnold. Your name is Arnold. A-R-N-O-L-D.
Here she was. The one girl that he could never forget. Smile widened as they set off into town, hands held tightly together. He let her do most of the talking, providing quips here and there. There was something calming about just holding her hand and having all those memories. All of them were crisp and clear. The first time they met. Their first kiss. He remembered it all
Hands shake. Head pounds. There's blood but he feels no pain. Eyes do not recognize the figure in the mirror. Who is this man? He turns to look at the woman "Is that me?" She says nothing. He takes a step forward "Is that me?!" It can't be. I can't be that man with graying hair and sunken eyes. Just moments ago I was...who was I? His mind desperately tried to figure out if this was a memory or reality. What can he do to figure it out? How can we ever be sure what is real?♦ THE PLAYER ♦
