Trevor Allen Paige
16 years//Male//Heterosexual//Psychic Persuasion//Student//Joseph Gordon-Levitt
POWER INFO: Despite his young age Trevor is an amazingly charismatic and persuasive young man. This ability stems from a subtle psychic power which lowers a target's inhibitions until they reach a far more suggestible state than normal. Trevor is incapable of “dominating” or forcing an individual to act, rather, he keenly tugs at their emotions, wants, fears, and natural urges like a puppeteer manipulates a marionette in order to get his desired results. Directly opposing an already heightened emotional state (i.e. calming an enraged person) or attempting to coerce an individual into performing an act violating a stringent moral code (suggesting a devout Catholic priest into murder, for example) will usually result in little or no effect. This is typically why the young man prefers the company of those with far more dubious morals.
To say Trevor Paige was born with a silver spoon would do a disservice to his family's wealth. The cutlery in the Paige residence would be considered nothing less than platinum laced with diamonds. Trevor's father was the founder of what grew to become the single largest security firm in the world. Through the acquisition or founding of various subsidiaries, TRN Security Services Inc (the parent company) offers every personal protection based service from suburban alarm systems, to celebrity and high profile security details. From corporate resource protection and transportation, all the way to private military operations in foreign countries.
TRN Security's stock exploded in early 2002 as they were awarded the first and, to date richest, defense contract from the US government. Aggressive moves were made to snatch up any for sale company in the sector and merge it with the ever growing conglomerate. This caused quite a stir among many financial pundits as it seemed the Paige Family amassed their extensive wealth through bloodshed in foreign lands.
Growing up the only child of one of the most successful businessmen of the last fifteen years came at a price. Trevor was often raised in a similar fashion one would foster the growth of a new business. This left Trevor with an amazing business acumen and a knack for making money at the cost of much of his empathy. Debates such as 'right and wrong' are a rarity for this young man. Instead 'profitable and non-profitable' are the factors typically dictating his actions. There's always a phone glued to his ear, a spreadsheet up on his tablet. A deal to be made. A bet to be placed. Everything in Trevor's life revolves around making and keeping money.
Naturally, the key to business is often being a good middle man. Of this, Trevor is already staking a claim of excellence. It's crucial to have the consumer on your side (at least until you part them with their cash) and a satisfied customer is a repeat customer. Trevor is unbearably likeable. He views everyone equally (with dollar signs following them around) and has never seen the point in focusing on petty differences. Few (if anyone) truly knows what makes him tick. His personal life is kept behind a number of closed doors that even he doesn't have the keys to anymore.
This doesn't mean Trevor is all business and no play. Even at just 16 Trevor is well-versed in numerous areas from cars and sports to movies and the current geo-political landscape. He's a three sport athlete having played football, basketball, and baseball at home and was always just good enough to be a solid starter in each, but never being the star. He was also his class' student vice president both years of high school, excelled on the debate team, and even found time to join the chess and TV/Video clubs. This versatility allows him to seamlessly shift from one social climate to another. Equally at home among each of the schoolyard cliques enables Trevor to increase his potential customer base ten-fold. Yes, even his social activities were determined by business opportunities.
It's difficult to tell when Trevor's powers truly manifested. Irregular brain wave patterns were detected when undergoing tests for a potential concussion sustained during his freshman year of high school. Upon further testing his subtle psychic capabilities were discovered. Trevor's parents were overjoyed when they were contacted by a recruiter from the Bellefonte Academy and offered any assistance they could in order to make the enrollment process as simple and painless as possible.
