Other Traits
Personality: Jake is a very caring person who, due to his lack of social experience is very nervous when around people and if he were to become friends, it would make him easy to hurt. His lack of experience at most things in life lead Jake to come across as naïve and unsuspecting of the darker things which go on in the world. He also sees his power as a gift to help him everyway possible. Therefore he uses it almost constantly, even for the smallest of feats.
Pets: Kay – Red Tailed Hawk (Male)
Power: Telekinesis
Flaw: Lack of social interaction causes him to get extremely nervous when near to any person he does not know.
Past: Jake was born in England where he spent the first few years of his life. His parents were both highly academic teachers who taught at the two of the best Universities in the Country. This is about as much as Jake can remember however, since they were dedicated to their jobs, they rarely had much time to spend with their son. And when his ‘gift’ was discovered, they simply did not know what to do, for their teaching and logic told them that what their five year old boy could do, was just not possible.

And so they sent him to live with a relative who lived in the state of Utah in America. This relative, Jake’s uncle (Graham), was not so ignorant of Jake’s gift, in fact he had some small knowledge of other such gifts and the history it had in their family, it had been a few generations since any sort of gift had formed in the family, but Graham was glad to see the ability resurface.

The ability was quite weak throughout most of Jake’s childhood, he would only be able to make pencils rock and slide slightly across the table. However, in order to protect others from any unfortunate incidents, Graham kept Jake hidden from the outside world as much as possible. It was not an act of hate for the boy, no, for Graham loved Jake as if he were his own son and he merely wished the boy to be taken away. However, it did not take long for the young boy’s curiosity to stem beyond his Uncle’s control. And so he escaped into the outside world. He wandered for only a day before he came across the broken body of a bird; a Red Tailed Hawk was lying on the floor, exhausted and cut all over. Seeing the poor bird, Jake was instantly drawn to it and tried to help it. Running home, carrying the body of the bird in a blanket as carefully as he could, he persuaded his Uncle to get the bird some help.

After a long time of rehabilitation, for which Jake visited as much as possible, the Hawk was freed. However, it did not fly off into the horizon as expected. In fact, in seemed to have taken a liking to the now eleven year old Jake. And so, since it seemed to follow him everywhere, he finally gave him the name of Kay.

In Jake’s solitude, Kay became his only sense of socialization besides his Uncle, for he still was not permitted to leave the house, even for school. Instead his Uncle taught him daily on a variety of different subjects. Yet it wasn’t the same.

When he hit twelve, puberty kicked in. And not only did this effect him in the normal adolescence ways, but his telekinetic powers also grew, at an unpredictable rate. After a few years, hitting the age of 16, it became too much for Graham, as Jake would often lose control for a short amount of time, moving things without intention. There was also the time when he got a migraine and it caused the whole house to shake in a deadly manner.

It was at this time that Graham discovered the institute, fearing Jake’s safety if he were to stay with him, his Uncle sent him and Kay to institute with love.

For a year Jake was tutored privately, away from other students with prohibited contact in order to keep them safe. Then, eventually, after all his hard work at controlling his gift and helping it grow further, he was allowed to move into the dormitories with other students. It was a huge gap for him and another challenge he had to confront, yet he was determined, even if he seemed extremely nervous.

He got the news a few days ago, and finally the day of his transferal is upon him.
