REIDCARTER, SULLIVAN
-----------------------------------------
Cause I am barely breathing, and I can't find the air
I don't know who I'm kidding, imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting, a fool for another day
But I don't suppose it's worth the price, the price that I would pay
Everyone keeps asking, what's it all about?
I used to be so certain and I can't figure out

power history;;Ever since they were born, his parents always thought that both he and his sister would be special. At barely nine months, Reid was able to mutter his first sentence. Yes, you heard it right. He was able to do things that usually children his age aren't able to do. By the time he was three, a time when his peers would be read with fairytales…Reid already read newspapers. As if that wasn't enough, his parents soon found out that he had photographic memory and total recall. He would just skim a book, barely reading the words and he'd be able to understand them in that same instant. He can also recall this knowledge whenever he wanted to as if locked in a vault somewhere in his mind.
When he turned nine, everything became clearer to his parents. Reid was able to hear the thoughts of others. It started with only faint murmurs and then to actual clear thoughts. At the beginning…he was only able to read the thoughts of people in the same room as he was. But in the present he can read the thoughts of people in a two mile radius around him. Another he has discovered throughout the years was that he was also able to project his thoughts to a specific person or to a group of people he links himself to.
As he aged, he was able to master his skills, seemingly basic to a telepath like him. But what floored everyone was that he could also cut off the powers of the "gifted" people. By isolating the mind, he is able to cut off the communication between the mind and action. It's only temporary however, as he needs to concentrate to actually do this, but it certainly has been useful in keeping a bunch of kids alive. To say that he's the strongest telepath in the world would be an exaggeration. As of now however, he is the strongest the SSAS has discovered. He is now experimenting on a latest study involving his powers…mind control.

Reid isn't the type of guy that you would give a second glance. He's more of a guy you would appreciate once you take your time and study his features. Peter stands at 5'10", admittedly not the tallest but it suits him perfectly. His stature doesn't do anything with the way he carries himself, with dignity and wisdom that people tend to forget his height. He has a swimmers body, with toned pecs and just about enough muscles to compliment his body and his height, or lack thereof. But it doesn't really bother him.
He has hazel brown eyes that appears curious and vulnerable, and even though he has vast amounts of knowledge of almost…well everything, his eyes remain with a touch of innocence. He has chestnut brown hair that is cut somewhat differently. It would appear that he has clean cut hair but his bangs fall long on the side of his face.
When it comes to clothing. He usually wears something he's comfortable in and depending on his mood. On a normal day, you would see him wearing casual clothes and his usual choice are jeans, sneakers, tees, hoodies or button downs. As a professor, he also wears semi-formal clothes, usually long sleeved shirts but that's about it. He's not very comfortable in wearing too formal clothes…though he could be easily mistaken as a model for suits if he does wear one.Three Words that summarizes your character's personality(All Caps)

Charming >> Reid's been known to charm his way into situations. Once he talks, his charisma just exudes out of him. If you could bottle this particular trait of his then he'd be filthy rich by now. Coupled with his persuasive attitude and he's bound to get anything he wanted. One trait he knows about and abuses quite often.
Clueless >> The ever oblivious and unaffected attitude isn't just a charade to gain attention. Reid is totally clueless of his striking looks and his sunny disposition. He wasn't boastful or anything but he just never viewed himself as the handsome type. And his innocence and utter ignorance only won him more admiring looks from his students. You could call him blind, for not being able to actually see the signs they've been wagging his way, it's almost ridiculous.
Supportive >> Being the school principal must've brought this trait out of him. But in all actuality, it was more of the other way around. With his excessively useful powers and his tremendous ability to put himself in the situations of students, he seemed to be the perfect candidate for the job. Couple that with his charm and knowledge and he'd be overqualified.
Wise >> To say he is intelligent is an understatement. Aside from the vast knowledge he possesses thanks to his photographic memory, Reid also possesses the right mindset when dealing with different circumstances.
Sunny >> Even after the tragic past, Reid remained a happy man, at least outside. His bitterness never rooted in him and quickly moved on. It took him a while before he was able to get over his wife but when he did, he returned to the happy and sunny person everyone knew him of.
THAT WAS THEN… THIS IS NOW…
Much has changed ever since the death of his wife. Though everyone seemed to think that he had changed…it is in fact, a clever disguise he wore to achieve his goals. You will have to be really close to him to see the changes…but even those he holds close to him are in the dark about the changes inside of him.
Brooding >> It is merely a faint whisper on his persona, peeking at times, but is unrecognizable. His pent up emotions is huddled inside of him, churning and on the brink of setting off. But he's too much in control to let himself loose. So instead, you'd feel the underlying change in him. The occasional hardening of his gaze, or the sudden coldness of his voice which he quickly amends.
Contemplative >> His become more aware now of what's going on around him, though the looks part is still unbeknownst to him. He tends to be more silent now about what happens inside his head…though he already was like that, it became more prominent now.

Reid Carter Sullivan was born to Sarah and Daniel Sullivan at the eve of February 14, 1993. He was the oldest among the siblings and shortly after five years, his sister, Danielle completed the family. His life was boring, if you really want to know as no drama had occurred in his life. He had a happy childhood and he spent it with his sister and parents. But before we go there, let's back track a little and see how everything led to the way it was. How he became one of the strongest breeds to ever come into existence.
Both of his parents are researchers/scientists in SSAS. And being scientists who hungered for knowledge, his parents use themselves as guinea pigs in an experiment. They injected a serum they've concocted from someone who was infected by the mutation. This had side effects however as the "concentration" of the mutation became very prominent with Reid, their first born. At first, they thought that he was a disappointment but when he started doing things that are out of ordinary, his parents did experiments on him. This didn't affect him in any way as he himself inherited the hunger for discoveries that his parents shared. He coaxed them even, to make experiments on him. They had boundaries however Reid's parents didn't want to traumatize him or endanger him.
When he turned eighteen, just like any ordinary teenager. He fell in love with a girl named Isabella and because of their uncontrollable urges, got her pregnant and married her. He was happy, to say the least. Because for once in his life, he met someone that would make him feel contented. Make him want to be just himself. But he later found out that good things didn't last. Things didn't turn out right as his wife, Isabella died upon giving birth. And he watched as it had happened, frozen and shocked to see everything happen before his eyes. He was devastated, he knew that he could have done something. How easy it would be to shut the powers of their newly born child…but he was unable to do it. It almost killed him and for a while he disconnected himself with everyone else. For a moment, everybody thought that they lost him…his friends and his family.
But one day, after almost a year of brooding, Reid emerged as if nothing had happened…the painful but sweet memories tucked inside his heart. So to take his mind off things, he reverted back to his usual even before he met his now dead wife. He continued his studies and at the young age of twenty earned his first degree in English Literature. It didn't stop him as he also took up psychology and got his second degree when he turned twenty three. At twenty five he was able to finish surgery. In his seclusion and personal quest of drowning himself with his research, he had forgotten the only thing he had of his wife. The only memento of the woman she loved and treasured, Isabelle.
He payed attention eventually especially when Ali, his wife's twin sister reminded him of his duties. But still he couldn't look at his daughter without feeling vindictive. That maybe if she wasn't…then maybe things would've been different and Isabella would still be alive. Still he performed his job as a father, but most of the time he lay cooped inside his laboratory trying to find a "cure" for what he now believes as a plague that would destroy everyone.

He cautioned a wary glance to the blank faces in front of him. It lacked the particular expression he was looking for, understanding. "Guys, we're not having an exam here. Loosen up a little…" He said with a slightly tenor voice that reverberated to the whole room. Still. Blank. They could easily pass in an audition, seeing the current appearance they had. Yeah, they would ace the audition. And the movie's title? School Zombies. Yeah, that bad. He tapped his finger patiently, waiting for some sort of reaction, and for a brief lapse in judgment he wanted to believe that the students had gone brain dead on him. Which is hardly appropriate for a supposed class of lifeless brain-eating zombies.
Seeing that he hasn't made progress, Reid…or Professor Reid, as his students called him, hopped off his table. He headed to the board and wrote the message he wanted to come across. In bold letters, just to make sure. "Exposure. For decades, people with abilities like you, you and you…" He started pointing several students in front of him before plowing onto his topic. "hid themselves from human eye. With good reason of course, as the worlds' not ready yet for people with abilities to equal a nuclear bomb. Thus, Sententia Academy was born. This school has made every individual from this room to a within the vicinity of St. Louis safe and secure." His voice seemed to ring higher as his monologue reached it's peak. "But I guess all of you guys know that by now. Bottom line here, is do you think that after years of keeping it all…" He paused lifted a brow and made a gesture with his hand, as if he was whispering something. "a hush…should we or should we not start in introducing what certain people could do?" He finished crossing his arms on his chest, satisfied at what he had said.
Looking through every face, sifting through their actions. He was finally glad that he was able to elicit a number of reactions. And to prove that, he heard a rhythmic buzzing, one which you usually heard within a beehive with dozens of bees. But you wouldn't see a swarm of bees hovering within the horizon waiting to attack you with their nasty stings. No one other than him…and other telepaths would hear what seems to be music to his ears right now. The murmuring sounds actually came from the thoughts of this kids. And by any weird chance that you missed the cue, Professor Reid Sullivan is a telepath. In fact, one of the most powerful that the breeds to walk the Earth. As if he was some sort of treasure excavated from a long lost empire. God, now he feels old…ancient even. It had some truth to that though as his appearance wasn't just for show. If you call black long-sleeved shirt and tight hugging pants a "show" of his importance. At an early age of twenty-seven, Reid already earned three degrees in college and could practically remember every single thing he had come across, from the breakfast he took last week to the color of the tie he wore a year ago. A feat that little could only perform but he seemed to do with ease. Alongside his telepathy, he also possessed total recall and suppresion, a rare mutation to breeds as he was the only one with two special skills. The ability to retain any information someone has come across and to suppress the powers of others. Either that or it just coincided with his telepathy…which he doubted really especially since he seems to be the only one among them who had it.
Taking a stray apple that a student had on her table and took a bite at the juicy fruit. Reid walked around the room, his voice ringing out. "So what's the final verdict? Should we expose? Or dispose…erm...I mean conceal? Should we show ourselves for who we truly are? Or stay hidden behind a mask forever?" It sounded theatrical even to him, but he had to be creative if he really wanted good reactions from his students. His eyes found the eye of the owner and winked at her making the poor child flush. He strode back to his table, propping himself on the edge as he waited for their reactions. He was sure that the desire to be accepted is a common frustration albeit a hidden desire they all had. Metaphorically speaking, their identities were like a forbidden fruit…tempting to taste and expose…but as the name implies…forbidden. He left the floor open, waiting his students to exchange their views...to express their thoughts about it. A smile of anticipation lighted his face. Let the battle begin.
