Clair Thomson, "Clarity"
Description: Clair has light brown hair and pale blue eyes with an intense stare that seems to gaze into people. At age 15, Clair is physically unimpressive, and sort of a runt, being skinny and 5'6" as it stands.
Clair first discovered and developed his powers at his highschool when he was holding one of the frogs that was to be dissected in Biology. After the slightest touch with his hand, the frog was able to hop out of the window from where he was standing, and surviving the fall down-an incredible feat that left Clair astounded. Always a sensitive, but quiet person, Clair attempted to share this secret with just one of his friends, Derek.
Derek concluded what Clair's powers were, but he agreed to help him keep them as a secret-mostly, but Derek had other ideas in mind. He in turn manipulated Clair, convincing his friend to keep enhancing his physical abilities to do things that would benefit "both" of them. It started out innocent enough, both of them using Clair's abilities to help win at sports and beat up bullies-at this time Clair discovered that he could sympathetically channel Derek's injuries as well.
After noticing how beat up and bruised Clair would return home after school, his parents confronted him. Clair remained silent, but his parents were still suspicious. After that conversation though, Clair told Derek that they should stop using his powers anymore. This, however, made Derek grow furious, and even though not boosted-he could easily beat up Clair. He threw a punch at him, but his fist was stopped-perhaps instinctively, by Clair's mental shield. Damage had been done however, not physical, but mental as Clair felt a sudden sense of betrayal, which left him bitter afterwards, even as he ran from Derek. That night he revealed what he was to his parents, who became concerned and shocked at what their son was. They looked for someone who could help, anyone who could help, and they ended up contacting (the Academy where Clair is going)
Clair still remains bitter after being used by a person whom he considered a friend, and perhaps has become a bit manipulative himself, deciding that it's better to be on that end then the one being used. His trust has been broken, and perhaps because of that, he has a harder time forming close relationships with other people. He still retains a good heart, however, and will help others without question if they really need it.
