Wallace Gage King
FACE CLAIM: Jeon Jungkook
---------------------------------
AGE: 15 (16 in August)
GENDER: Male
ORIENTATION: Bisexual
POSITION: Bellefonte Student
POWER: Phasing
The most basic of descriptions for Wally's power is that he can render his body intangible and move through solid matter. It feels a bit as if he is walking through shallow water, unless the material is denser than gold (19.3g/cm^3) then the consistency becomes a bit more like thick, deep, heavy mud.
A requirement for entering this state is that he hold his breath as it proves to be rather hard to intake air when he is in his intangible state.
He is, at the moment, still inept at the use of his ability and can shift at inopportune times. Resulting in droping things in his hands, backpacks, books etc and sometimes even his heavier pieces of clothing such as shoes, wallets, or jewelry.
LIMITATIONS:
As far as objects Wally can shift along with him his power typically only applies to his clothing (though without concentration even that is sometimes of unfortunate consequence). This means he is unable to bring people or objects along with him.
He can only remain intangible so long as he can hold his breath, which thankfully is a bit longer than the average person as two minutes, due to his history with diving/snorkeling/scuba etc.
His limit on the density of materials he can phase through ends with gold at 19.3g/cm^3, things begin to be difficult at 5 g/cm^3 which includes materials denser than titanium.
SIDE-EFFECTS:
Because he has difficulty/cannot breathe during shifts he has asthmatic response to shifting back to solid. His joints become sore after use as well, and can leave it a bit hard for him move around if he stay intangible for longer than one minute.
If he pushes past one minute he can become quite disoriented and feel a bit 'mixed up' on the inside and cause him to feel debilitatingly nauseous.
HEIGHT: 5'7"
HAIR COLOR: Black
EYE COLOR: Dark brown
MISC:
Wally hit the puberty train a little later than other boys his age. He had gotten comfortable with the idea of remaining 5'5" but has begun to grow, and rather quickly. It is likely he'll grow several more inches before stopping. His sudden growth spurt does nothing to help his already prevalent thinness and only proves to make him seem more like beanpole.
There is something rather defenseless and off balance to him at first looks, and as a result of his reserved posture (and a few distinct traits) he is often likened to a small animal.
His front two teeth are a bit long and wide and his elder sisters often call them his 'bunny teeth' much to his adolescent embarrassment. It doesn't help much that the tip of his nose is wide and rounded and prone to scrunching as he smiles or laughs.
Wally's off balance nature is at the fault of his disdain for certain fabrics and fits. He wears a very similar outfit daily. Loose fitting jeans, plain shirts, and a pair of Timberlands that one could reasonably argue are the only shoes he owns. He has a tendency to look rather small and flimsy in his clothing, having to buy clothes to accommodate his ever increasing height but tends to make him look more like he borrowed his clothes from someone much wider and taller.
PERSONALITY:
Wally comes off, personality wise, a bit younger than he actually is. He is blindly trusting and easily believes what people tell him. He is not very skeptical and overlooks or forgives 'bad' qualities in people. Typically in conversation Wally can come off as very energetic and talkative leading people to believe he is more outgoing than he is.
A lot of Wally's energy in conversation is fueled by his nerves and discomfort with social situations, especially crowds or loud environments. He doesn't dislike people or hanging out with them, in fact he very much wants to make friends with almost everyone he meets, but he lacks a lot of confidence in his communication skills and feels pressured and anxious when it seems like he is 'screwing up' his interactions.
When feeling anxious Wally has a tendency to ramble more than to shut down, but he does clam up when feels like people are poking fun at him or teasing him and can get uncomfortable very quickly when he notices this. Wally can also get frustrated pretty easily when he feels like people are treating him differently because of his personality or naivety.
It is unfortunately quite easy to get Wally upset, and he has quite a few quirks. He hates the feel of tight clothing and can often get clautrophobic feeling. Loud noises and strong scents make him nauseous and anxious only tacking onto how easily overwhelmed he can be. Because of this he can become very frustrated with himself and throw 'fits', which at best involve only crying but at worst can result in him throwing things around his room. Thankfully, these do not occur often.
He is very close with his stepmother and is a bit spoiled by her so he can get bratty in certain situations. Such as when he is told to do things like cleaning or other chore-like activities. It also gives him the mindset of not doing things he doesn't want to do.
Wally is incredibly fond of animal in general, especially fish and birds. He used to scuba often with his father and loved to learn about every fish he saw and knows so much about birds he can often distinguish them based on the sound they make. Surprisingly, as he doesn't seem the type, he is very into horror movies, particularly the gorey ones. Aside from this he mostly watches cartoons or plays video games.
Wally is the type to feel he is nothing but faults, but he has several strengths aside from his general status as an eternal ball of sunshine. He spent a lot of time with his father when he was younger resulting in him being rather knowledgeable about computers and electronics, to the point he can often repair or build them himself. Due to his rather oblivious and inquisitive nature he can be notoriously hard to embarrass.
SECRET(S): In school he often got in trouble for asking questions deemed inappropriate or rude. So, his stepmother made a deal with him. If he wrote down every question that popped into his head she would do her best to answer it for him. He still calls her and gives her a list of questions at the end of the week.
FATHER: Alexander King
MOTHER: Eungi Min-- Biological
Carmen Bolivar-- Step-Mother
SIBLINGS:
Felicia Bolivar
Raquel Bolivar
Isabela Bolivar
WORTHY MENTIONS:
Polly-- Jenday Conure
Sunny-- Sun Conure
CHILDHOOD:
Alexander met his first wife, Eungi Min, in his second year of university, they didn't date until a year after he had graduated and married a year after that. They moved from Pensacola to Miami, Florida where Alexander had gotten a job as a software engineer for a securtiy company there. Eungi was excited about having a child when they first discovered her pregnancy but her mood shifted soon into the second trimester.
By the time Wallace was born she had already lost much of her interest in him as a child and left a lot of the decisions concerning him to her husband. So when she decided to leave her husband and child, while surprising, it could have been predicted and Alexander had even felt a painful paranoia that it might be the case. Especially when taking in to fact that mother and son did not bond whatsoever, which was not completely at the fault of Wally's mother. Wally was slow to start speaking and showed little interest in earning his parent's attention or even being around them at all.
Alex took the departure of his wife hard and struggled to find a way to take care of Wallace even with a secure and increasing income. Especially taking in the rough time Wally had as a toddler, he fell behind his classmates in terms of social development and even struggled academically in elementary school. He was rather aloof and uninterested in his classmates, and didn't speak much or when he did missed most verbal cues or simply didn't understand what was being asked or said. His status as a social outcast made it even more difficult for him to interact with classmates later on and he was tease often and even bullied into middle school, especially when his extreme dislike of being touched and strict adherence to routine was discovered.
When Alex remarried to Carmen Bolivar (Wally was eight at the time of the marriage), Wally seemed to improve somewhat. He grew out a lot of his problems but still remained a little behind his classmates. He bonded quickly with his step-mother and she easily fell into spoiling him and showering him with the same affection she showed her three daughters. Though the significant change had caused him a lot of worry he warmed to his new family members easily and his new sisters looked over him rather than getting annoyed by him.
ADOLESCENCE: Keeping with his trend of late development Wally entered into puberty at the end of his fourteenth year. Something that only put him at the receiving end of his classmate's teasing even more. Though he had little issue with physical bullying while his sisters were in school with him as they or their friends were often looking over him or standing up for him.
Rather shortly after his fifteenth birthday was when he manifested. Eventually, one day, during a test he noticed himself getting shorter.... not shorter but closer to the ground. There was a shocked silence around the classroom at the sight as their odd classmate found himself suddenly even odder.
It only took as long as it took the recruiters arrive for him to go to Bellefonte.
He's only been at the school for half a year now and he's spent most of the time adjusting to the shock of the drastic change in situation (he's already absolutely dreadful at dealing with change) and location as well as from being away from his family and everything he'd grown up with. He's still not fully comfortable with being at Bellefonte, especially considering the crap weather (compared to Miami) and can still come across as being lost and out of his element.
SAMPLE:
It was never very obvious if their relationship could be called a friendship. Grayson tended to think of it as such, the two weren't very good at standard friendships anyway so maybe it was as close to it as they would get. He had gone home with Jason to visit their mother and younger sister and had been back only a few hours when he found himself at the hospital.
The fact that Kodi was in the hospital hadn't taken very long to get to him and was confirmed when he texted him. Though, his friend had been asleep when he got there, moved out of ICU and into a room for him to rest and continue to work the toxins out of his body, Gray had sat on a stool beside him for a while (he kicked his bed once to try and wake him up but he quit when he decided that wouldn't work).
"Fuck it," he sighed and left the room disappearing from the hospital and walking down to a store nearby. He came back rather quickly armed with a new array of recently purchased sharpies. He stuffed them into his jacket so the nurses wouldn't be suspicious when he came back.
"Last chance to wake up and talk to me," he whispered to the sleeping figure as he uncapped a red sharpie and hovered it over his lips, "Come on Tubby~" He began to sketch small triangles under his lips to make it look like fangs.
The door opened behind opened behind him and he froze, peering over his shoulder to look at who it might be. Oh, thank fuck it wasn't a nurse, "If you're here you know him and wanna do this just as much as I do." Grayson held out a marker for him, "So either help or get out. Remember what happens to snitches."
