Name:
Jeremy Haynes
Age:
29
Power:
Mental Manipulation - Absorbing the shard he found gave him the ability to bend mortals to his will. Using the power of the shard, their minds are his plaything, from mere control to the sadistic inflictment of hallucinations and pure pain. Against targets with more mental fortitude, (e.x. other shard holders) he may have trouble, but upon contact with them he can manually overpower their resistances if he so wished, creating a direct link from his mind to theirs. The downside to a direct link is that upon removal of him from the person he is connected to, the link only lasts so long, making his manipulations temporary if he must use it.
Bio:
Jeremy Haynes was known only as the recent successor to a business that was already failing. Once successful and influential, after he inherited the business it began to die. With all the world at his fingertips, so to speak, most could only shake their heads as he let the company spiral into failure. Despite being a good guy, with good intentions at heart, that was all he was. He didn't really have a passion for anything, least of all business. He sucked at it, and now he walked away having killed the only thing his father had left him. To him, this was a sign. He decided to accept that he was a failure, in the eyes of his late father, and in life in general... until one day he happened upon a clear piece of glass. Taking hold of it, his grip was superficially tightened as the glass tapped into his conscious mind, fortifying his mental defenses and searing into his conscious the key to the manipulation of his fellow man. The shard then faded away to dust, as if it had never been there at all.
Jeremy could only wonder at what he could do with such power. He didn't know what to do. His good morals haven't gotten him anywhere. He knew that much. Maybe these powers were the key to what he needed. Jeremy thought long and hard, and then he made a promise to himself. He would never again let his own view of the world keep him from his ultimate goals. He would have to accept some questionable methods if he would get anywhere in life. As the shard's power circulated through his mind, he felt optimistic about the future.[/Center]
