[u][b]Ability[/b][/u]
Ocular Mind Meld
Allison's power goes far beyond simple mind reading. When she makes eye contact with another person, Her mind is connected to theirs. For the briefest moment that her eyes meet another's, she experiences all of their memories, all of their thoughts, everything that makes them who they are. This is an extremely disturbing experience for her as she doesn't just experience the good, but also the bad. Every painful moment, every nasty thought, every evil deed. She is immersed in it all in an instant.

[u][b]Limits to Ability[/b][/u]
Her ability is a passive one and she has no control over it, yet. Her power requires eye contact to work.

[u][b]Background[/b][/u]
Allison was just a normal girl, living a normal life. Going out with friends, worrying about boys and chasing the newest fashions. Then her life changed when her power awakened. Suddenly she knew every ugly secret that her supposed friends hide from each other, everyone around her were just liars, hiding their nastiness behind masks. She couldn't face any of them anymore and began to withdraw from the world. And then she met Him. She bumped into Him one day whilst walking home from school and for a moment their eyes accidently met. In that moment she saw him torturing his victims, heard them as they screamed for mercy, she felt the knife in her hand as it bled the life out of them.

After that day, Allison refused to leave the house. She was clearly traumatized by something and, not knowing what to do, her parents had a psychologist come to talk to her. The man specialized in treating troubled teenagers and, during their first session she inadvertently met his eyes in the reflection of her bedroom mirror and knew that he was secretly looking for teens struggling with the emergence of strange powers and that he worked for Riverwood Academy. She confided in him and he helped her to get to the Academy, making excuses to her family and ensuring no questions would be asked.

[u][b]Other[/b][/u]
Allison doesn't know whether or not her power will work on herself and she's too scared of the possibility to even look at her reflection in a mirror. She is terrified of the idea knowing herself so deeply, without any self delusion.[/center]
