History: Curtis isn't a Pavar native. He moved to Pavar with his twin brother Ash and their mother at the beginning of their sophomore year. After a particularly nasty divorce their mother was quite eager to leave anything that reminded her of her previous marriage. This in turn has caused her to be distant from her sons, who have channeled this distance into different outlets. Curtis focuses on school and making the most of his last year of high school. Ash has found more [i][b]creative[/b][/i] outlets. Despite the stark difference between the twins they are remarkably close and will still have each other's back (even if it might take a bit of convincing). The two aren't identical twins, and their radically different choices of attire makes it incredibly easy to tell them apart from one another. When not attending classes Curtis can be found enjoying coffee at the cafe located in Sand Creek Mall, or scouring Pavar in search of his brother.

Awakening: The alarm screeching brought an end to Curtis's restless night of sleep. He had went to bed with a terrible headache, and it appeared that he was going to start the day with another. Wiping the sleep from his eyes he walked down the hall to his house's bathroom, luckily it was unoccupied, This meant either Ash wasn't going to school or he wasn't even home from the night before. Either way it meant Curtis could take a nice long shower to try to nurse away this headache. Curtis stayed in the shower for quite some time, hoping that the headache was something sinus related and the steam would help take care of it. No such luck. He returned to his room wrapped in a towel and quickly got dressed. The headache was getting worse now, his vision would blur if he didn't focus. "What the fuck..." he muttered to himself while stumbling into the kitchen. Then it happened. It was almost like a snap. He felt it start at the base of his neck and travel down his spine. His headache was gone, but immediately replaced by something else. He felt [i]connected[/i] to the earth beneath his feet. At first the sensation was overwhelming, the feeling causing him to drop to his knees. He reached for the granite counter-top to help himself up, but was shocked when a chunk of the tabletop instead ripped from the counter and flew down into his hand. Curtis dropped the piece out of pure shock, it audibly crashing against the floor. The granite had moved in response to him thinking about it. Before he had much time to think about what had occurred the tabletop had begun to shake, followed by the utensils in the silverware drawer. Not knowing what to do Curtis ran out the kitchen door and out to the driveway. He stood outside in the hot Arizona sun and watched as the rocks of the driveway slowly began to float around him, making lazy circles around his outstretched arms. A smile slowly formed on Curtis's face. Life had just gotten interesting.[/hider]
