APPEARANCE | Alton has one feature that makes him distinctly different from other people. It's a long gash on the right side of his neck. Although it looks like it came from a suicide attempt he really just cut himself on a glass table as a child. Dumb luck in the position of it. As far as wearing clothes. When Alton isn't in class he's still probably wearing something that closely resembles the school uniform. The only problem with that is when is in one of his mood swings his mind is always racing which may sometimes make him forget simple hygiene things such as to clean his clothes or change his outfits daily leaving visible stains of food on them or just smelling funny after a couple days. When in his moments of clarity he is clean as a whistle. His mom sends him boxes full of expensive brand name clothes although he usually just stores it in his closet. |

PERSONALITY | A truly brilliant mind. Alton has an incredibly high IQ for someone of his age. He retains information at such an incredible level that most of his class grades aren't decided by the work he does but just by how often he is actually in attendance. He has an eidetic memory that makes it incredibly easy for him to retain information. Sometimes when he finds himself without anything else to do he will begin to read science journals just so he can add to his ever growing intelligence. He is a pretty nice person to speak to although his people skills could use a little work. Alton talks very fast which causes him sometimes to dominate the conversation with random chatter. When speaking he goes off topic a lot with large tangents that make some people think he is weird which he would tell you: "I know you think I am weird but that's okay because most people believe their is an intrinsic relationship between intelligence and insanity. People are genetically wired to do things that you would suggest are normal. It takes somewhat of great intelligence to veer off of this path." The last two sentences something his father used to tell him when he was younger to make him feel better about the teasing he used to receive in school. Regardless of that he does try hard to make friends which forces him to attempt to listen to what other people have to say. That is because he enjoys company being alone is boring to him. He will pretend to like to do the things other people do even if he hates it. Although when asked if he is enjoying himself he will be forced to tell the truth but the answer will probably be sugarcoated and come with a definition of the word enjoyment. Alton does however have bipolar disorder. When on his medication he is very good but when off his medication he is absolutely insane. His emotions switch quickly. His quick speaking to everyone in sight is replaced by even faster paced mumbling that is not understandable to anyone in his vicinity. The problem is that he knows English, Russian, and Spanish so when he is having an episode his words switch between the three languages making understanding him impossible even if you could hear him. Most of the episodes that Alton has when off his medication are Mixedaffective with him switching from incredible manic highs to incredibly depressing lows. In these moments calming him down seems almost impossible and the best thing you can possibly do is get him to take his medication. He hasn't had an episode since being at the school though.. |
THE HOUSE THAT BUILT ME
MOTHER | RYAN ANGELICA Way - 38 - Housewife- "She tries her best. Raising a child isn't easy especially when that child turns out to be an intelligent maniac. However my mother felt that shopping was better than any type of mental help I could have received. Even now probably 4788 miles away from her she sends me clothes instead of letters asking how I am doing." |
FATHER | Warren Gerard Way - 65 - Ceo - "The old geezer is an businessman through it all. He was always busy with work but he was alright. Never left my mother even though he probably cheated on her all over the globe. Children raised by both parents are more likely to be intelligent adults but that doesn't account for the fact that 40% of your intelligence is inherited which builds the argument for nature vs nurture." |
SIBLINGS | Jacques Lincoln Orion - 26 - Unknown - STEPBROTHER - "Never met him Personally. I just know that he exists from hearing my dad think about him. He has been hidden from my mother and I since before I was born. It would be inappropriate for me to reveal his secret to my mother. I do however want to meet him one day." |
OTHER | Charisse Leann Soto - 60 - Nanny- Surrogate Mother - "My mother was in no way shape or form prepared to raise a child. They paid Charisse to take care of me. She was a loving woman although she made her eggs poorly. Everyone has their flaws. If eggs is the biggest thing wrong with you then you have it lucky but she has cancer so I guess eggs isn't her biggest problem." |
SOMEBODY THAT I USED TO KNOW
HISTORY | Born to the Ceo of a fortune five hundred company and his third wife Alton was always a strange boy. He was raised in New York City his home being on the upper east side of Manhattan. He was always a strange child. He didn't seem to enjoy much things. The only time he wasn't crying was when cartoons were on. Both his parents lived such busy lives that neither could be bothered with their son. They paid a nanny to take care of him. His mother did make appearances although she was busy traveling around the city buying clothes for him to wear. She was more concerned with the appearance of the child instead of actual development. From a young age he showed a brilliance unmatched by most children his age. He was reading on a 5th grade level by the time he was in 1st grade. He struggled to fit in with other kids although he attempted to do so to the best of his abilities. His lack of friends and a real relationship with his parents caused him to become depressed with the world he lived in around the age of 12. He was in 7th grade when he began to fake sicknesses so he could stay at home with Charisse. She knew that he wasn't sick most of the time but she believed he was being bullied and felt home was safer for them. Besides by that time he could practically teach all the classes he was in. Unfortunately by the time the year was over Alton had miss so many days he was ineligible to advance to the next grade. That next school year he fit in better with the younger students. For some strange reason they tried harder to include him. He probably could of skipped a couple of grades to reach the appropriate level for someone of his intelligence but there was no point. He much rather be with people who were friendly to him compared to people who were at the same intelligence level. By the time he entered high school Alton had seen half the world on the silly vacations his parents took every summer. He had however began to show incredibly intense mood swings in school. He would lash out at teachers and students alike. On certain days blaming them for his problems arguing with them about things that weren't important. Other days he would be so happy to be in class he would be damn near teaching the class with all his energy. He was eventually sent to the school councilor who recommended therapy to his nanny. Eventually he was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. He was medicated to take care of the issues he had and continued his education. He luckily avoided any episodes for a long time. That was until his powers manifested themselves over the summer of his freshmen year. With all the voices entering his mind Alton began to think he was suffering from hallucinations due to his medication. He stopped taking the pills for the first time. His disorder mixed with the problems with his powers made things worse. He was now unable to focus between the yelling in his head. Eventually he was recruited to Ashford Academy. Since coming to the academy Alton has been taking his medication regularly and learning to control his powers. |
ALL THE SMALL THINGS
POWER | Telepathy |
POWER DESCRIPTION | Alton can read people's thoughts and also communicate with them in their mind. When reading people's minds Alton is able to hear all that they are thinking however when truly focused he can search their mind for deep thoughts, memories, and secrets. Although he doesn't do it often when he does do that the task is physically draining on his body. He usually becomes very tired after searching through somebodies mind like that forcing him to stop and take a seat. He used to hear everyone's thoughts at once and was unable to stop them all from invading his own mind but with practice he has become able to block out other people's thoughts from invading his mind. Practicing that has also made him capable of preventing telepaths When it comes to communication it is the easier of Alton's skills to use. It is easy to project his voice to people's minds. It doesn't come at a energy cost for him. However he is only able to communicate with those that are about 20 miles in his area. The amount of people he communicates with is also limited. Talking to about 30 people at one time would put a strain on his mind and probably put him to sleep. Talking to 40 or more people would put him into a coma. Alton has tried to plant ideas in people's mind by constantly repeating the phrase to them or just saying things to mess up their thought process but he hasn't been able to do that. He has no yet learned the peak of his powers but believes with training he can create ideas in people's mind with enough messing around. When off his drugs Alton's powers are no longer controlled. He hears everyone's thoughts in the immediate area and when panicking his thoughts begin to appear in everyone else's mind. Talking to such a wide branch of people usually causes him to pass out. Others times with only so many people around he causes panic to the people around him. |
SPECIAL ITEMS | Alton always has a little notepad with him |
