[b][color=silver]Appearance:[/color][/b] [url=https://i.imgur.com/poTVii8.jpg?1]Image[/url]. Gerard stands a couple of inches over six feet in height, his figure lanky and lithe. His light brown hair is at near shoulder length while his face is dotted with light stubble. His skin is a pale shade. One of his most noticeable features are his eyes which are a striking blue. He wears plain, casual clothing, choosing not to frivolously spend on outfits.

[b][color=silver]Personality:[/color][/b] Gerard is a quiet figure, one that never really speaks his mind due, partly due to the darkness of his thoughts and his rough childhood. He's a bit awkward socially, displaying a clear shyness. He does not have many friends, an he is an introverted being. He's a conflicted person, much of it due to his mental illness. He often has terrifying, insane thoughts that tell him to do horrible things. He never speaks of such thoughts in fear of being seen as a freak. Overall he is a loner who wants to have friends but is unable to allow himself due to his disorder and fears.

The superpowered young man also experiences fierce delusions and frightening hallucinations. Along with other symptoms of the mental disorder he has been diagnosed with, schizophrenia. His behavior is often extremely difficult to predict and he has been known to randomly withdraw emotionally and socially. He's a very troubled being, though the medication he takes does help him to a degree. The emergence of his powers has complicated things for him, often involving themselves in his hallucinations, dreams and thoughts. Internally he is a typhoon of emotions, something which he tries to dull with his medication. 

[b][color=silver]Biography:[/color][/b] Gerard was born into a very strict, traditional home. His father, Luke Lawson was a construction worker and a firm believer in corporal punishment. His mother, Anna, was a schoolteacher, and a little kinder to her son than her husband was. He was their only child and thus received plenty of attention from both his parents, positive and negative. He grew up in a comfortable middleclass suburb outside of Boston, Massachusetts. His formative school years were rough, but Gerard was an intelligent kid who did well in school. He was a frequent target of bullying from other kids, and had few friends growing up. His father was a harsh parent who wouldn't hesitate to spank or hit him with a belt if he stepped out of line or did poorly in class. This affected the gentle Gerard deeply, while it did cause him to force himself to work his hardest in his educational pursuit. 

He rarely ever went out socially while in high school and his dad tolerated no proclaimed 'nonsense'. Gerard would also show signs of his future diagnosed mental illness, which were met with a variety of reactions by his family. His father would tell him it was nothing and even take to punish him when he'd exhibit some of the worse symptoms. His mother pushed for him to see a therapist, which did help to a degree, but not nearly as much as he needed. He'd still finish near the top of his graduating high school class and elected to attend the prestigious Boston College Law School. Gerard would live on campus, and showed promise as a potential future attorney. His parents as proud of him as ever, blissfully unaware of the issues boiling beneath. 

Roughly two years into his time at university he'd find his ability to concentrate plummet as his grades followed. His schizophrenic thoughts seemed to accelerate, accompanied by the stresses of his life. They became so intense and intruding that it forced him to drop out of a college to seek treatment. This decision destroyed his relationship with his parents, Gerard and his father still have not spoken since the day he dropped out. This severed his one familial connection, leaving him more alone than ever. Gerard would end up receiving medication and psychotherapy for his treatment but he still felt the disorder clawing at his thoughts. He'd rent an apartment in Boston and get a job as a bank teller. 

Gerard doesn't remember when his powers manifested, just that his mind suddenly felt different. He believed initially that it was his ill mind playing with him, another cruel delusion forcing its way into his head. Then he witnessed as he flung the objects in his living room around as if a small tornado had swept through it. From that moment he's subtly experimented with his newfound abilities, while hiding the existence of them from anyone else. In fear of being hunted down as a freak. 

[b][color=silver]Powers:[/color][/b] [list][*] [b]Telekinesis[/b] - Gerard is able to manipulate objects with his mind, the difficulty of the manipulation increasing with the mass and weight of his target(s). He hasn't tested it out on living things yet but he is certain he has enough power to lift and throw a human being. His experiments with the power has involved him household objects and things around him.
[*] [b]Telekinetic barriers[/b] - Another aspect of his telekinetic power, Gerard has not experimented with this power that much. The basis of the power is that he is able to construct an invisible telekinetic barrier around himself (and potentially others). With proper training and usage he believes the power could be used to block attacks.
[*] [b]Telekinetic levitation[/b] - Gerard is able to focus his telekinesis to lift himself off the ground and hover above the floor. He has only attempted this once, where he briefly levitated himself a few feet off the floor before he lost it and tumbled down. He dreams of one day strengthening this power to where he is able to fly through the skies, high above everyone else. 
[/list]

[b]Drawbacks[/b] - While he is capable with his powers he is still not that experienced with using them, they're a secret to everyone but himself. Prolonged or strenuous usage of his powers causes exhaustion, to where he could black out or even die in the most extreme cases. While he is indeed a super powered being he is still otherwise entirely human, if he for example levitated himself into the air then fell  a distance he could break bones. His durability is something which has not been affected, though he's noticed when he uses his telekinetic powers that it has a way of clearing his mind of schizophrenic thoughts. He believes if he is in a turbulent emotional situation he could misfire his powers. Gerard once woke up having found his belongings turned upside down, from unconsciously unleashing his powers during a nightmare.
