NAME: Niklaus Reese Quinn
NICKNAME: Nikky
AGE: 13
GENDER: Male
ORIENTATION: As far as he knows, heterosexual though he doesn't spend much thought on it.
POSITION: Student
FACE CLAIM: Ulrik Munther
POWER:
Lie Detection
Niklaus has the ability to sense when others are lying to him. His power is a passive one, not needing any effort for it to work, it is seemingly always on. There's a slight tingling in his head whenever someone lies to him.
Limitations
He's found that the only way he can detect a lie is if the person telling it is within five feet of him. The proximity of the person is very important or else his power will not pick up on a lie even if they say an obvious one as in "the sky is purple, the clouds are green, and there are cats flying through the air."
Though he has not run into any yet, telepaths are for some reason naturally immune to his abilities. The strong willed are also harder for him to pick up on, the kid has only run into a few people that have had a strong enough conviction in the lie they were telling that his power did not pick up on it. The final type of people who will be difficult for Nikky to pick up on are ones with persuasion based powers, they negate his ability completely.
Side-Effects
Niklaus has found that his ability in a whole is a disadvantage. People shouldn't physically know when being lied to. It's caused him to distrust most people, seeing as they lie almost all the time. It becomes overwhelming the amount of lies he deals with in the day.
He's realized early on that his powers will be a nuisance. This world was and is still being built on lies, this is difficult for Nikky. First is the headache, ever since he gained his abilities he'd had a constant, dull headache. It only got worse throughout the day if he walked through crowds. People lied without even knowing it these days, but Nikky knew. The more lies he picks up on the worse the headache grows and before long it becomes nearly debilitating. In the long run, his power will start to cause him to suffer from seizures because of the migraines.
Hiya! I'm Niklaus Quinn, but most people just call me Nikky. Uhhhh, let's see. Well, I'm thirteen years old, I'm finally a teenager! I actually just turned thirteen, but I totally feel more mature already! Just a surge of wisdom came over me in a night! Haha!
You know what's really cool? I have powers! Like superpowers! I guess it's not all that special, since my whole family has powers too, but still! Though I gotta say, my sisters powers are a lot cooler than mine(not that I would ever admit that to her.) I'm pretty much just a human lie detector. It's not all that fun actually, I hate knowing when people are lying to me. Most people don't even know when they're lying anymore, that's the hard part. Whenever you get asked "How are you?" and you respond with a simple "Fine." That's nearly always a lie. Most people aren't "fine" there seems to always be something on their mind that makes it so that they aren't "fine."
I get like...this tingly feeling in my head whenever people lie to me. It's strange, I guess. It's like, you know how when you're cold you get a chill going down your body? Well it's kind of like that, but just in my head. It doesn't hurt, at least it hasn't yet. I only just got my powers. My mom told me it happens whenever you hit puberty...so I guess that's happening too. Fun.
Anywaaaay, my family. Well, I lived with my grandfather and mom up until like a week ago...but I'll get to that later. My mom's really sick, it sucks. I wish I could help her...but I can't. Sometimes I wish I had like healing powers or something so I could help more. I did what I could though, she has cancer...so there's really not that much I can do. It's because of her powers, which is really scary because my sister has the same power.
Oh right, my sister! Luxanna is her name. Don't tell her, but I really do love her. She can be really annoying sometimes though, she liked to embarrass me in front of my friends and stuff. I'd always play tricks on her and stuff, oh god, that was so funny! One time I totally put a couple of dead crickets under her pillow so when she got in bed she saw them and freaked out! I heard her screaming from my room and I was nearly rolling around on the ground laughing!
Like I said, she has the same power as my mom. I think they call it...uhhh...crap. What's it called? Oh!
"Reactive Adaptation."
I guess it basically means that their bodies instantly react to whatever happens to them...or something? I worry about Luxie though because it made my mom so sick...and it's starting to make Luxie sick too. She's always in and out of the hospital. But...I really don't think there's too much I can actually do about it.
Me and Lux have different dads, but that really never mattered much to us. She never knew hers, I know mine. His name was Reese, that why it's my middle name. I haven't seen him in a pretty long time though...he pretty much just left us. I wanted to ask my mom why he left but I never wanted to bother her...she's too sick for me to annoy her with that kind of stuff. It's whatever though, we're better without him.
I guess I should tell you more about me now, huh? I'm pretty flippin' awesome! Haha! Some people would describe me as "annoying" but that's just because they suck! I'm not really the tallest guy around, I'm kind of short actually standing at around five foot four. Last time I weighed myself I was at one hundred and four pounds, which I guess I could be called scrawny but I prefer the word scrappy! I've got blonde hair, which is kind of long, I guess, but I like it. My eyes are blue, like reaaaally blue. People say they're pretty, which is nice of them. I get called "cute" a lot. I don't think I like when I get called that though, it reminds me of what someone calls a puppy or kitty.
Oh, right! I totally forgot! Last week! You should have reminded me, I have ADD, I get distracted super easily...but you might have been able to tell that by now. Heh. But last week I told my grandfather about my powers, I really wasn't surprised I got them because my dad, mom, and sister has them. I'd prolly be really mad if I didn't get them! But yeah, I told him about them and then my mom! They set me up to go to Bellefonte, the school that Luxie is at! How awesome!? I really missed her while she was there, even though we still talked all the time on Skype and stuff.
Everything has been set up now, I'm about to transfer into Bellefonte Academy. I'm actually really nervous, I don't know what to expect. Hopefully people like me, it kind of sucks to have to leave my current school and all my friends...but this will be for the best. I'll be with people like me! People with powers!
