His suits are tailored to complement his body and every occasion is a good occasion to wear one. When he is performing or teaching classes, he tends to favor the looser clothing only when the style of dance demands it. Even in his casual wear, he dresses to impress. Or intimidate. Or seduce. What ever the occasion, it is never casually tossed together. If it looks that way, he planned to do so months in advance.

For most people, that is all they see in him. He wants to be desirable and longs to be the center of attention in all things. He shamelessly flirts with everyone and everything. While he isn't mean spirited and doesn't set out to hurt people, he doesn't stop himself either. He gets bored and will shamelessly manipulate (or try to) people to either get what he wants or just to see if he can. Despite this, he isn't strictly a bad person. He just has a very self-centered sense of right and wrong. Declan first, then the rest of the world. He doesn't like being around people, he needs to be around people. He also tends to overreact when he feels wronged. There are more than a few people who suffered huge social casualties because Declan convinced himself that it was warranted. [b][color=A52A2A]Habits:[/color][/b] Apart from manipulating people, he tends to be in motion all the time. [b][color=A52A2A]Hobbies:[/color][/b] He has studied many forms of dance and really enjoys it. Also loves to attend parties, not crazy ones per say, but places where people are.

His mother had been a ballet dancer in her youth, whose career was cut short by an injury. Having him do ballet was her way of living vicariously through him. Not that be minded. Being the only boy in the class most years was what got him addicted to the attention. He always got the best roles, was many of the little ballerina girls first crushes (among other firsts). As he grew older, the need increased. He decided his senior year of high school that his town was simply too small for him and set off at once for LA. It almost destroyed him and he loved every second of it. He got accepted into an elite arts school in LA. It was there that he also got his first boyfriend when he was 17. The man was much older, nearly 34 when they met. Travis was his name. He was wealthy, charming, talented and oh so worldly to the naive Declan. Travis got Declan into parties he should have never been to. Got him to try all sorts of drugs and drinks. It was honestly a miracle that the boy graduate, or survived, at all. The day of his 19th birthday was when it all ended. A text over the phone to get his stuff and a thousand bucks for his trouble. It almost killed him, or led him to almost kill himself. But in a way it opened his life. It lead him to discover cougars and silver foxes. Travis was really a dime a doze. Declan found that older women (and men) adored his youth and would dote on his every whim and need. Most of them didn't even truly expected monogamy, just the illusion of it. His life now consists of 'seeing' between 3 or 4 people at a time. With two 'older' people usually being his 'sponsors' and two younger-ish being his 'lovers'. He works as a dance instructor, not because he needs the money (what else are sponsors for) but because he needs to attention. He attends parties every day of the week and holds the philosophy of 'a great night ends with a beautiful sunrise'. As he is approaching his 28th birthday, he is already hunting for the fountain of youth. After all, dancers can't afford 4,000 dollar lofts in downtown LA or really any of the life style that he is accustom to. He was truly scared when he got sick. And he never felt more alone in the world. Only one of his 'partners' even knew he was in the hospital, because that partner was the one who called the ambulance. The rest of them received a text about a sudden trip home to see his mother who was 'in the hospital' and he needed to 'care' for her. His sponsors were very generous during that crisis. Nearly covered his whole hospital stay. [b][color=A52A2A]Discovery Of Your Power:[/color][/b] It started off with small things. Declan was never a clumsy person, but he suddenly found himself dropping small objects, metal pens, paper clips, coins, keys. Almost as though he didn't have a strong enough grip to keep them from slipping. If it would have happened once or twice, he wouldn't have thought anything of it. But it seemed to take conscious effort to keep these objects in his hand. Then it was little things..sticking. He'd walk around and suddenly find gum rappers attached to his pants, the tops of soda cans on his cuffs. Small,irritating things that made him appear sloppy. Over time the objects got larger. Car doors swinging opening far faster than he could have pulled etc. Till one day he reached for his keys and they ' leapt' into his hand. His power only grew from that day forward. While he has told people, he has never told them in a way that was believable. Making comments such as, "Well, you know I do have the power of attraction" when every a wayward bit of metal would attach itself to him. [b][color=A52A2A]Ability & Powers:[/color][/b]Magnetism Manipulation [b][color=A52A2A]Ability & Powers Weaknesses:[/color][/b] So pretty much his abilities are like Magneto's control the magnetism of metals and so on and anything with a magnetic charge. The weakness is that he can only control local existing magnetic fields and cannot control metals that are molten as they lose their magnetic charge in that state.
