/// SPECIAL ABILITY
Tactile Persuasion:
Trent has the ability of tactile persuasion, which is to give other beings, human or animal, suggestions and ideas. This is done by physical contact, from the sheer touch of another person, such as a hand shake, a kiss, or a brush of their fingers. Trent's ability is not to tell a person what to do , but to place suggestions and compulsions in their brain to do something, ultimately however they can still say NO. This can range from something simple as to ‘walk ten paces’ or to ‘jump off of a building’ it should be noted the ability differs to inducing hypnosis.
The person doesn’t lose their free will, they are simply persuaded to do something. Those who have strong psychic resistance or strong willpower don’t suffer from his power as easily as someone who is insecure about themselves and weak willed. Despite having no basis in Hypnotism the ability is a psychic based ability, and will work on other lifeforms and not just humans. While it can be used on Animals the suggestions given to them must reflect how advanced their mind is. [/i]
/// ABILITY LIMITS
Trent's tactile persuasion has the limit that their has to be physical contact made with the person. This means that depending on the level of intimacy of said contact, makes a difference on how well his power takes hold. The suggestion made also depends on the mount of contact required.
Example. Someone trained to resist their compulsions would succeed if it was just a hand shake. This applies to life endangering situations like jumping off a building or shooting themselves. Something simple like getting a cookie however they would just do.
In the cases where said suggestion compulsion would be life endangering, if he kissed them or was intimate with them their resistance would be less.
This also applies as on a duration level the more and longer he is in contact with someone the more the person in questions will crumbles to his suggestions. The duration of his power's effect is generally till the task is completed, at which point, unless asked to return, they will remember nothing of what happened unless prompted.
Animals are easier and require not as much effort for him to place a suggestion, mainly due to the fact their mind works in simpler terms. All he needs to do is give them some form of attention, (a pet, a scratch or a belly-rub) and place simple suggestion at that point. [/i]
/// PERSONALITY
It's not hard to understand Trent. Even though he’s approaching 20 years of age, he still has a child-like view on things and understands things from a childish perspective with an adults intellect sometimes. He’s a good friend to those around him and he loves to meet new people. He’s very, very, courageous and protective of those around him; always has been and always will be. Friends are the most important things to him since his parents divorced so he understands the value of having them in his life. He will actually humble himself, which is something rare for his friends…or his boyfriend, something that’s rare for him.
That’s the good side of the boy. To recap, he’s a good friend to those who are a good to him; it’s the best way to put it. If you’re on his good side, he’ll be on your good side, actually once you’re nice to him once he’ll be nice to you for the rest of his life. He’s just like that, loyal through thick and thin.
Now…if you’re not like that, then we have a problem. Those who are mean to the man are subject to a very snappy, bitchy person. He can really spit out the harsh words and he tends to not really care who he hurts when he is mad, yes, he does have a temper, something he cant always control. He can be the coldest person on the planet, though its only a self defense mechanism, it still hurts those around him.
Finally, to end things, Trent is very impressionable, which is why he needs his friends. He tends to follow those who have the same ideas as him, or those who seem to have the same ideas as him.

Sexual Preference~ Homosexual
Ethnicity~ English
Hair~ Blonde
Eyes~ Brown
/// APPEARANCE
With his blonde hair cut short but still bangs in front of his brown eyes, his nice height of about 5 foot 11 and his fit body, Trent’s body is his most valuable gift. He likes the way he looks, which only helps. Trent has a few scars here and there from his youth and one across his right eyebrow that is still a little red from never getting stitches because of an explosion, but besides that, he’s very good. He wears usually normal teen clothes; dark colored shirt and blue, white washed jeans.
But there are a few more things about Trent that are useful. First of all, he dyes his hair. He used to have blonde hair but how it has a more brownish hue about it. Its just something that makes him more…human. He changes his hair so his family don’t find him, he even sometimes even wears colored contacts, usually a hue of green, or blue or some sort, just to help hide him from his twin brother.

/// HISTORY
Trent was born in NYC to a family of nurses. It was a lucky thing actually, to have his own parents medical personnel and have them help with his birthing process, it was very nice actually. It made him feel safer, and that he was. The funny thing was he was born with a twin, something that he never really thought as something amazing, never thought having a twin that was around 10 seconds older them him, could really be something important.
Trent lived a good life with his family and with his brother. They lived in the heart of NYC, close to a hospital. He was taught at a young age the importance of money, family, and to tell the truth, seeing that his parents were huge on morals and other such important things. His family was a little too good for their own good, you would say, it was something that DIDN’T rub off on Trent. He wasn’t a bad person, but he didn’t learn the way of ‘pure goodness’ like his father and mother did. Neither did Tyler. Trent from a young age had a knack for dancing which he nurtured in private.
Trent was more of a normal kid, no matter how much their parents tried to instill goodness of him. Overall, he made mistakes, he was grounded and other such things. His twin and him got in a lot of trouble together, but that was bond to happen since they were, after all, twins. But sometimes, things just got out of hand. When it came to fighting both kids were at a disadvantage, so there father let them choose a martial arts form to go into. Trent decided on Aikido, Tyler went with Jujitsu.
One of those was when Trent and Tyler were around 15 years old and their father died. It wasn’t something expected, nor was it something that he thought would happen, but his father, his oh so strong father, was hit by a car. He was rushed to the hospital, but nothing could be done for him and that night, his father passed away.
The family life was a little changed after that. They had to work harder then before to get money and to keep life going for the two kids who were in private school. His mother had to take two jobs and that really stressed her out. She kept a good composure but she was overall, a little more violent then she was when David was around, which was expected. But what followed wasn’t.
Around two years later, Samantha was in a very big rut, not telling her kids she had lost her job. Her and Trent got into a huge fight, it was a reasonable fight. Trent was in community college because it wouldn’t be possible for him to go to a four year college and his mother was paying for the twins education, but the loss of the job would cause some horrid changes. This upset Sam so might that the fight escalated and when Sam grabbed his wrist, telling him to listen, he yelled ‘why don’t you just die already’. At that exact moment, his powers activated from their dormant state, and his mother grabbed a knife, once Trent had left and slit her throat. It was a horrible day.
Trent and Tyler were both sent to their aunts to live after such paperwork was done and the burial was done, Trent left. He understood who he was after when his aunt was telling him some things and the same thing happened; another command was issued. That night, Trent escaped with the hopes of understanding his powers.
And he’s been on the road ever sense then. Staying in the country but never staying in anyplace longer than 3 months. He's seen most of the country by now from the small out of the way towns, to major cities.(He prefers the later) Trent has done his best to make friends and has got his RSA on his travels working as a bartender or stripper for some night clubs.

/// SAMPLE RP
He had to admit, he needed this break. Between finding the schools he wanted to apply too and being a normal, every day teenager, life was hard. He didn't have much to complain about and he knew he was leaning towards being a 'bitch' but he still felt that, as a person, he deserved a break or two. Maybe just a day to be himself, to chill, and to not worry about anything but what 'Trenton wanted'. And today, hopefully, would be one of those days.
He rolled his shoulders as he drove his Jeep Liberty, parking it at one of the nearby parking lots and hopped out of the car. He cracked his neck, Pink's "So What" playing in the background of the car as he turned it off, tapping the tire and seeing that it was a tad flat. He'd need to get that fixed. He checked in the mirror of the car before he trotted off to the beach, content with his appearance. His blue flowered swimming trunks and his white shirt fit him perfectly.He smiled slightly as he pushed his golden hair from his eyes as he turned on his feet and walked towards the beach, towel and book in hand.
As Trent walked, he made idle chit chat and hello's to the other people. He stopped and chatted with one guy for a bit, he didn't have anything to do today, nor nothing he really WANTED to do except lay on the beach, so a little time wasting could be afforded. It wasn't like he really needed to do anything except lay down and relax. He yawned as he found a spot on the uncrowded beach, placed the blanket down and fell on his chest, taking out the book and reading it idly.
Jeremy was not five minutes into his book letting the sun and the surf relax his body, when a family began to set up in front of him, their beach umbrella blocking his sun. Sighing he got up and wandered over to the dad reaching out to shake his hand, "Hi there I'm Jeremy." As the guy accepted he immediately used his power, "You and your family think moving 10 feet to the left would be a brilliant idea don't you?"
As the father moved away and began to pack up, telling his kids and wife they were moving. Jeremy just sighed and went back to his towel, letting the sound of surf and seagulls embrace him.
Did you read the rules: The rules? My dog ate them. Honest.
