Name: Kenneth Andrews.
Nicknames:
Codename: Phantom
Age: 23
Gender: male
Appearance: Tall, long limbed and almost impossibly thin. With his dark skin and the look of vague desperation in his faded brown eyes, Kenneth looks like what a child on an Oxfam advert might look like when he grows up.
Kenneth is now so trapped within his own mind and the minds of others that he sometimes forgets he has a body; his thinness is in part because he just forgets to eat. Due to this absent-mindedness Kenneth is often unkempt and seen wearing the same clothes for days on end.
Personality: Vague, unfocused, and highly unstable. Kenneth’s current personality is influenced heavily by those around him and what kind of mind he has inhabited recently. If he has been in animal mind his thoughts will be simpler, and his actions instinct driven. When he has been trapped in human minds he adopts that mind’s personality for a time afterward.
History: Kenneth’s father ran out on his mother before he was born and his mother was pretty young and had no real idea of how to raise a child. So it isn’t very surprising that Kenneth was taken into care when he was three.
Kenneth was about fourteen when he started responding to questions before people had asked them and other such disturbing things. Shortly after that he was apparently moved to a different children’s home. This was pretty unremarkable and no one thought much of it, in fact the staff at the Home were pretty glad to be shot of such a weird child.
He was in fact picked up by the Organisation and moved to one of their secure laboratories. He was subjected to carious experimental processes in the hope of making him more than a minor telepath. One of the processes worked to some degree and was repeated several times, until it was evident that Kenneth could no long shield others out, or himself in. However when his shielding improved he was given the treatment again. His life since then has been a almost constant round of treatments and recovery.
Powers: Telepathy. Kenneth now has very strong telepathy, reading below surface thoughts and drifting in to other people’s instincts and personalities with the same ease as he breathes. He can read animals in the same way although that is far harder because of the differences in thought patterns.
Kenneth is often insidious with his telepathy tweaking peoples thoughts just a little instead of jerking them around, using a mental scalpel instead of a battle axe.
If presented with a serious physical threat Kenneth could severely damage or even kill another person with his mind if they were close enough.
Power related weaknesses: because his mutation is constantly being forced to greater levels his shielding is very unstable, he sometimes reads mind without even knowing it. If the mind he is reading is either strongly focused on something or highly unstable there is a chance he will get trapped in that mind for a time.
His range is severely limited. Within five feet of his body he can inflict various levels of physical damage on the brain. Within his sight he can impose thoughts alien to his subjects mind on them, for example he could make a mouse think it was ten feet long and it would continue to believe this once it had left his sight. Within approximately a mile of his body he can completely read minds with varying degrees of difficulty. Beyond that he can only sense very strong thoughts or emotions.
Fighting style: Kenneth has very little chance of physically defending himself due the neglected condition of his body. His only weapon is his power,
Pets (if any): none.
Anything else: (a space for anything I forgot.)
