SOMEBODY THAT I USED TO KNOW

HISTORY

Rich was born the pride and joy of the family. A health boy who was always exceeding expectations. He was raised on a very strict regiment to prepare him for taking over the family businesses. This meant advanced classes since he could talk, the best boarding schools in world and private tutelage. Rich grew to like all of the advanced work but didn't like that he didn't get too much time to just enjoy being a kid. It didn't bother him too much once he started going to the boarding schools. As long as he stayed on top he could do whatever he wanted. And he did just that. School was always great. He always had that presence that made people want to follow and like him. His father always said it was the family charm that was the key to success that and the ability to make people listen. Since he spent so much time with his father and at the boarding schools he didn't spend much time at home since he was five. Whenever he did go back it was always a big deal or for some event that the whole family had to attend. Aft first he didn't really notice how broken the family really was till he was there for a month when he was fourteen because of school break and they had multiple trips planed. It was then he really picked up on how is parents really saw their kids. He was the prime jewel of the family, the successor. The twins were spoiled and loved, they posed as the family part of the name and then there was his sister Raven who was hated for no reason. His mother would encourage them to make sure Raven felt hated and unwanted. His father did nothing and almost seemed to agree with her. Then again his father only cared about the businesses anything else was irrelevant. He wanted to make things right but couldn't. He didn't want to anger his family or be shunned. He liked his power and he was never home anyway to really do anything to help. Sure he would give gifts and not treat her the same way the other did but he knew it wasn't enough. But at that age he was more focused on himself and becoming the man that his father wanted. He went to a boarding school in England for his high school years. He was top of his class as always. Could speak Spanish and French as well as English, played on three sports teams; Wrestling, Fencing and Polo. The entire time he did not know that he had powers. He did hear of his sister finally being sent to a school but no matter how much he looked into it he couldn't figure out where it was. After high school he started up in College, taking classes online because of his obligations to the companies. He was always traveling. He was very good in the business aspect of it but he was also very big on parties and drinking. After a business meeting he would go out and find the biggest party or club he could just to have fun. No one seemed to care if he did so mainly because he was on top of everything else. It was at one of these parties that he discovered his ability. He had gotten into a fight at a club in New York and both parties had been drinking a lot. Rich didn't have any worries about beating the guy with his wrestling and fencing medals under his belt. That wasn't until the guy through a punch at him that was on fire. He grabbed the guys hand because of reflex and the fire went away almost instantly. He didn't have any burns. It shocked him and his opponent. Well it made the other guy angrier. He kept trying to hit Rich with 'fire punches' and every time his hands came in contact with the guy the fire would die down. It got to the point where Rich just ended it with a knock out punch and walked away. He was still very confused about what had happened. That is until he was approached by recruiters from Ashford. He arrived at the school and talked with the headmaster to arrange for him to be a student teach so he could get credit for his college but also train when needed. He now is a TA helping with training and French.

ALL THE SMALL THINGS

POWER	Negation
POWER DESCRIPTION	His ability works best through contact. He can negate others abilities if they are within three yards of him but it doesn't last very long and it takes more energy to do that. It is almost like a negating field. However if he is in contact with that person their powers are useless if he chooses. He can turn the power on and off at will. He can keep this up for a few hours. Granted he has to be touching the person. It does take energy to use the ability so if he is tiered or run down it doesn't work as well and sometimes not at all. If he uses it too long it can cause severe headaches and make him sick.
SPECIAL ITEMS	He always has his laptop with him and cell phone. Otherwise he doesn't really have any sentimental belongings.
