Archetype: The Mute Kid
Name: Wilson Turner
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance: Tall to the average, being nearly 6-foot at about 5'11", with eyes that have an unusual green color, flecked with gold specks. Not widely or thickly built, though he shows sign of some kind of workout; arms are more corded than thin or flabby, and legs are similarly built as well. Brown hair cut a bit over an inch short, thick, so that it shows his face easily without ever getting into his eyes, ears, etc. Wears glasses that have a rounded-rectangle look, with much more emphasis on the rounding than on a squarish look.
Power: [I (GM) will PM this to you]
Personality: Defiant, but smart, lonely and sorrowful, though quiet and reserved. He is defiant, but never shows it unless it's the right time. He shows nothing, by becoming completely blank, or by forcing another emotion onto his face. He could be an actor, as he has practiced and practiced, from bully to mirror, on making himself seem to be whoever he needs to be: impassive, suspicious, whatever. And while defiant, he will back down and submit easily if he is not feeling especially defiant. For the most part, he'd more likely submit and look away, and take punishment like a bunching bag.
Bio:
Wilson did not grow up like most, but rather as a 'project' of his father, who designed different props and tools for buyers, who ranged from movie directors in need swords, shields, or a spear, to 'destroyed' cars, special items, and other custom craftsmanship works. Wilson inherited his father's skill with his hands, and he became just as skilled as his father in the work of craftsmanship, from woodworking to metalworking. His father used it all; made ceramics, swords, small boats, all of it, real and working.
But this wasn't what Wilson truly liked doing. What he did like to do is 'dig,' as his parents put it. When he was little, he had a way of turning some of the harder, packed-in dirt patches into little bridges and tunnels, which he would then use with little electronic train sets and similar things. By the time he was 15, he had transformed a quarter of their large backyard into something of a dirt-model mining/processing/town region, with electronic trains that circulated through the 'quarries', burrowing into the ground for whatever imaginary item they needed to find next.
This is why he was not accepted very well; who likes someone who likes a bunch of dirt and toys than to simply go out and take a walk? But this was Wilson. His parents were especially 'rich,' but they were middle-class, and they didn't run into very many problems. But throughout his life, since the age of 10, he hadn't spoke a word. Not one, not even a sound of annoyance. His parents were confused at first. First day to school after he turned 10, and he went silent. They took him to doctors, mental and physical, to get him checked out, but he was fine. Nothing wrong physically, nor mentally.
He just didn't feel the need to speak anymore, and that was that.
Arch Enemy: Henry Warner - Likes to make jokes about why he may be mute. Generally isn't that bad, just persistent, though no one else bothers him due to a lack of reaction.
Incidents:
- His English teacher appears determined to make him speak, often getting him in trouble for not answering.
- Kicked out of athletics/sports because he wouldn't speak/communicate with the team.
- Once was victim of a prank that forced another girl to ask him out- for a moment, relief had spread across his face that someone might actually like him, regardless of how much, but then every starting laughing, and he shut down even more.
