Name: Aden Turrido
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Power Level: (2) Mid Tier - Low
Timeline: Modern - Can fit any timeline with an urban area
Appearance: Used True's method for appearance, since it's her going to be for her RP
Hair: Black and mostly straight, comes just to his eyes in front
Eyes: Red-orange - why? Possibly from his gift, or maybe some weird glitch in a gene. His eyelids tend to droop, and he has dark circles under his eyes, giving him a tired or mellow look.
Skin: Pale - White
Build: Slim/skinny
Blood: Red o.o
Attire: Always black - Black pants, shoes, tee-shirts...sometimes black lipstick and eyeliner. Black chains and silver studs...Trendy thing apparently, not exactly reflective of his personality, but compliments his looks
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 120 pounds
Other Features: He is rather attractive, well placed eyes and nose, very full lips. Smooth cheeks and no dimples. Slow growing facial hair.
When bored, or sometimes for other reasons, his appearance can get very agitated and creepy. He'll sometimes smile rather psychotically against his will, or widen his eyes.Sitting in place for a long period of time agitates him, so he is frequently in odd bodily positions and always shifting. He keeps his hands near his face, or in some strange manner typically.
History: Aden was born to no one special in particular, rather simple family. A brother, a sister, and him as youngest. He was rarely at home anyway, they weren't too important. He was a quiet kid as well, smart, a few friends, but overall reserved. He tried to open up but when his trust was broken, he turned inward even more.
At a young age he began to notice that when he confided a secret with one of his friends, it never seemed to remain so. So he lied, and instead of confiding a real secret, he'd confide only semi-real secrets. He noticed that when he confides in another person, he builds trust with that person. But He also opens himself up to weakness, exposing himself. That would not do. So he lies, builds "trust", keeps track of his lies, creates a false self or image for each person, and with that, he controls people. Unknowingly, or maybe unconsciously knowingly, he was perfectly built for this.
Soon enough, he found his first gift. He began to notice that he could see the relationships that tied people, like a web of strings that were made of light attaching everyone. That just made things even easier. He was able to see whether or not what he said strengthened his relationship with someone, or hurt it, and he could see the ripples of his actions as information was transferred over the web. He could see secret relationships that no one was supposed to know of, and use that influence. The color, strength, and weave of the web all told him something different about the relationship. A whole world of potential and ability was available for him through this gift. The strangest thing about his power to him, was that he couldn't see any of the relationships for his family.
With that, he completely distanced himself from his family. He started a group of friends, a network, possibly a semi-gang. He dug his claws into everyone he could, and cast away those for he couldn't. He became a sexual deviant, adding sexual appeal and prowess to his arsenal of techniques for manipulating others. He became good at dancing from going to so many clubs. He never did any drugs, since he placed his mental state and memory at high priority, but he would say he's done them all. He set his sights higher and higher, conquering various people of increasing importance or stature. His network had grown substantially, and he kept tabs on his web, keeping all the right strands strong, and cutting strands with others.
Once he got over the initial thrill of being able to control people, he began setting his dreams a little bigger.
Currently, he has in his mind to figure out why exactly he's here, why he has the gifts he has, and was using his influence to get more power and wealth. He has all of mastered his abilities at this point, and is wondering if more will reveal themselves. Despite his incredible memory, he has decided against using any of his abilities except for his own benefit. He is atheist, and without much morals. However, if he had morals, he would most likely still be atheist, and vice versa. His plans are few, and he lives day to day with no solid source of income. His only idea to solve this problem is to become more heavily involved in gang life, evolving his gang into something closer to a mafia. However, his lack of trust in others to get a job done makes him something close to a one-man mafia with a bunch of body guards.
Personality: Aden takes pleasure in controlling others. He's flirtatious, pleasing, vengeful, and occasionally lusting. He's overconfident in his ability to control others, and will spiral into fear when/if he suddenly loses control of someone. He's usually in good humor, despite his frequent moments hopelessness and depression, but he wouldn't let anyone know about those unless he wanted them to - he's not even sure if they're real anymore, or if he has them to maintain his false self. For those he despises, he lacks remorse and is even sadistic. He's very smart, and people perceive him as smarter thanks to his gifts. He is able to control and alter his personality enough to please most people from charming to slutty, proper to friendly. Certain aspects are beyond him though. He bends the truth...a lot.
He has a few quirks that could be potential turn offs for various people...he likes to chew and bite things. All different sorts of things, usually plastic or rubber...maybe paper.
He also does weird stuff with his hands and sits in weird positions. He can go straight from chatty to downright silent when he is intimidated by someone. It's easier just to call him a weird freak then to try to categorize all his quirks and kinks, find out for yourself if you wish.
I have to wonder that in his quest to control others whether he's really in control. He loses himself in creating personas to please people, letting them control how he acts. And in his pursuit to control others, by forfeiting that control to gain trust of others, is he really controlling them, or do they all have a share in controlling him? Does he have his episodes of depression just to hold onto some shred of himself that maybe isn't even there?
Powers: Interrelation Vision - The ability to see visually the web of interrelationships connecting everyone. He can see whether or not two strands are intertwined, or not. A stalker would only have a one way strand as the person he stalks is not aware of him. Or if someone felt some sort of relationship towards an inanimate object, that would also be a one way strand. Strands can be entwined with more than one person as well. He can also see the strength and type of the strand. Whether it's a strong love, a weak aversion, to a bitter rivalry. Discerning the type can be a bit challenging, but strength of the relationship is stark obvious as it's usually the brightness and size of the strand, while the type usually has to do with color.
Incredible Memory - In order to handle the large amounts of social information he receives, keep track of his lies, and use his third ability, he has an incredibly vast, effective, and efficient memory - Both photographic, and audible, as well as with all the other senses.
Memorial Projection - Aden can, though contact from his fingertips to a person's temples, share memories with other people. Only Sound and sight can be shared, unless Aden is replaying the memory for himself. What's more is Aden can alter the memories (and sometimes completely fabricate them) to fit his version of reality and conform to his web of lies. The person must be willing and wanting to receive the memory to see it. Due to the incredible memory Aden possesses, he could essentially show you a movie for free! =D (And censor them too O:! )
Equipment: A wallet and a phone...sometimes carries a gun, but why does he need one when other people can protect him?
Weakness: Overconfident at times, strong fear of bugs, no incredible power to speak of, just a fragile human. He's Pessimistic too. Sometimes loses focus with lust. He hates being bored, but he can find...strange ways to entertain himself.
