emmett richard kendrick the basics full name ♦ emmett richard kendrick nicknames ♦ E, Em age ♦ 18 birthday ♦ April 20th occupation ♦ n/a school ♦ Primrose ability/power ♦ Energy Sourcing species ♦ human how the ability works ♦ Emmett draws in life forces. It is not something he can control really at all and that is a problem. It takes flesh to flesh contact, this is anything from hands touching hands, lips a gentle graze of his skin on yours. Basically he is like a conductor for a person's, really any living animals, life force. It is a constant thing that he has been dealing with sense the age of thirteen. If it is a short touch, like a graze, it feels like a shock or spark. But if he really holds onto someone or prolongs the touch it is a searing pain. Starting at the point of contact it feels like a burn and shock all at the same time, spreading through the body and getting more excruciating for the person the longer he is in contact. On his end it just feels warm and fuzzy, and it is addicting, a lot like a drug. The amount of energy he drains will depend on the where, how, and how long he touches someone. The more contact the more at once and it can before excruciating in a second. The more intimate a touch is the faster energy drains as well. But of course he is literally sucking the life out of someone with his touch and has not found a way to make it stop sense it started. The down side for him, other than the obvious of not being able to touch any living thing, is that easily his body can be overwhelmed with all the extra energy. It overloads his system causing plenty of problems, like ticks and twitches. Or even seizures. He has not been able to work out how to store the energy well, if it is a little amount he can normally deal but if he does source a large amount at once it will end in a more serious on his side. But there are time when he has worked out the positives of his ability. Like using the energy of his 'victim' to enhance himself as it were. He can run fast longer, jump higher, even makes him able to use more of his brain, a lot like a super drug. But of course it is very temporary, and afterwords Emmett is just tired and if he uses his ability too much it is not good,he has to rely more and more off of borrowed energy because his body wants to work with more than he physically has. Eventually he is back to normal but that is after he hasn't sourced any outside energy for a while. It is like detoxing from hard drugs for him. Leading up to being back to normal nose bleeds, passing out sporadically, throwing up and just generally looking a hot sick mess is common for the boy. So he doesn't like to practice hens his ability being so unstable. gender ♦ male, he him his sexuality ♦ asexual, biromantic the appearance face claim ♦ Dylan O'brian height and weight ♦ 5'10" 155 lbs identifying features ♦ nothing really, even if he has a small burn scar on his back. overall appearance ♦ Emmett is lean, pale and generally just tries to blend in with most people. So he tends to just dress without much thought, rolls out of bed without much care and besides being blind as a bat (so that means contacts or glasses) doesn't have anything really exciting going on with him. Or at least he doesn't think so. the personality likes ♦ sun shine, apples, reading, super mario bros dislikes ♦ being this life sucking thing, wearing gloves all the time, touching, the anxiety strengths ♦ is actually super nice, killer at hide and seek weaknesses ♦ how scared he is of his ability, disconnected dreams ♦ being able to hold someones hand fears ♦ killing someone accidentally. overall personality ♦ Mostly Emmett is just scared. He often looks like he is holding his breath and just waiting for something bad to happen. He used to be a perfectly happy kid but over the years that has gotten chipped down to less and less. So now he is just soft spoken and sparse. He wants to make friends but is always nervous about it. Mostly he is just expecting something bad to happen. Emmett feels like there is this giant dark cloud over him and it just has all his secrets and fears in it and he is counting down to when someone finally calls him out for it. But as long as someone is patient with him Emmett is nice. He likes to play Nintendo and watch dumb movies. But it's just hard for him to relax and takes a while. There has also been times when people were just nice to him because they thought he could do anything about their bad grades or didn't want their parents to know about them skipping class. So there is some sort of skepticism about why anyone would want to be his friend. Honestly Emmett feels like everyone will probably hate him eventually. He has heart more than one person before and while he is trying to do everything to not let that happen, there is a lot he can't control. So besides that he is the headmaster's son and doesn't want people to think that means he get's special treatment. And there have been times when that fact has saved him. But that is just to make sure he isn't shipped off to Monroeville. Emmett feels guilty about that every day. There have been times when people needed to have their memory's wiped by the staff that can do that because Emmett needed what he did no remembered. There have also been some times where because of things he had done on accident that led to other's getting sent to the asylum. Given how bad he is with the simple idea of friends, romantic relationships are almost a no go. And Emmett is fine with not having any sexual encounters. He doesn't really want that. But he does crave companionship and that is what gets to him the most. More than anything Emmett wants to just hold someones hand and spend nights having fun and not caring with someone that he can say he loves. the history father ♦ Philip Kendrick, 48 ,Primrose Headmaster (astral projection) mother ♦ Nancy Kendrick, 46, stay at home wife (clairvoyant) siblings ♦ n/a important people ♦ n/a hometown ♦ Chicago, Illinois overall history ♦ Wind. It was always so windy. The little boy clutched at his mother's hand. He didn't know where he was going but his mother had her nice jacket on and her nice shoes and Emmett was just struggling with his little legs to fallow. This happened a lot. Emmett would be playing at home and then suddenly his mother would tell him it's time to go as she was throwing on her jacket. He never knew what was going on just did as he was told. More than once he learned early on it was just best not to ask question. His mother a was flighty woman who often didn't take questions well. She would get flustered easily stumble over her words and then just end with a smile while not actually answering the question. As it turns out she was always going to someone she would often referrer to as her spiritual guru. Whatever that meant. Only later would Emmett learn it was someone who was trying to keep his mother on the level with her ability. She was clairvoyant and ever sense he was born she was bombarded with visions, and was having troubles coping. That was the shake in her hands and fogginess in her eyes that Emmett just thought was normal. "You need to finish packing your cloths." He father instructed as Emmett just sat in the middle of his room.He didn't want to move to Louisiana. He liked Chicago and this is where all of his friends were. But Philip had gotten a new job, being the headmaster at some fancy school and it wasn't like Emmett could just not go. So he did moving from the top to the bottom of the state and now it felt like he was going to melt everyday rather than just be turned into a human kite. But this was his fate now. And at first it wasn't actually that bad, he liked exploring the new place. But then he turned thirteen. The first person he touched was his mother, she was avoiding him all day, finally Emmett had had it. She shrieked at his touch. Knowing that this day would happen. Nancy was dreading it, the burn that plagued her before was now very real. Emmett had no idea what was happening but he would learn. The next year he was put into the school that his dad now ran, having to wait a year, slowly realizing this new power he had, what it could do and how much he was destined to a life of loneliness. But with the school came the promise of understanding and learning to control his ability. The problem then came when he realized that meant using it. Emmett didn't want to hurt anything. Sure for a while he felt great, stronger more alert like he could do anything. But then it was awful, he would get sick and feel worthless. So he started to pull away from people, alienate himself. The only way he could physically touche anyone was if he had gloves on it made him feel lonely, like a monster and he didn't understand why it had to happen. Every so often someone would come along, try and be nice, friendly and understand. But they didn't he was afraid to tell anyone the extent of what his ability did. Emmett was scared that someone would think he didn't belong in the ivy walls, and fight for hi to get sent away to the asylum, where he knew he belonged. One day a couple years ago Emmett was just sitting in the hall way of the dorms. A friend had come along, Van. She was excited about something. Emmett wasn't really paying attention as he was trying to move Mario around a giant fish on his game. So he was shocked when she reached out and touched his forehead. He panicked dropped his game and grabbed his arms. He hadn't been wearing his gloves because it made his hands sweaty. But she screamed his could feel her life force surge into him. He got lost in the feeling, Van passing out from the overwhelming pain and the fact that her energy was being pulled out of her body. But a voice pulled him out of it he let go of the girl and bolted, only getting singed by an initial flame shot his way. The rest of that was a blur he had been so energized buzzing, somehow making it to his father's office before he collapsed, seizing because his body couldn't handle all the energy. Part of the school was set on fire, and the boy who had done it was sent off. Fallowing it took months for Emmett to feel normal. He would wake up in cold sweats, shake and throw up as his body tried to deal with the sudden change. He got even more antisocial, instantly turning around whenever he saw the blonde girl. Just waiting for the day he would get sent off too. Even though he knew better, his father always did everything he could to keep Emmett safe and at Primrose. the role player alias ♦ Alice age ♦ old enough to party pronouns ♦ just a little storm cloud floating through life. code ♦ Admin Edit other characters ♦ @parker , @robyn , @wyatt |
