[Dean Walker]

Dean Andrew Walker
FACE CLAIM: Justin Timberlake
---------------------------------

AGE: 32
GENDER: Male
ORIENTATION: Heterosexual
POSITION: Bellefonte recruiter

POWER: Tactile Anesthesia
Dean has the ability to render someone unconscious with the touch of his hand. He doesn’t kill people, he just knocks them out like sleeping gas or chloroform.

LIMITATIONS:
This ability only works when Dean touches someone with his hand, be it fingertips or palm. He can’t just look at someone and BAM unconscious. It can last for about an hour if he uses a concentrated dose on one person, but the more he uses it on people throughout the day, the less effective it is and the shorter he can keep someone under.

SIDE-EFFECTS:
When Dean uses his ability, there’s a tingling sensation in his fingers like when a limb falls asleep. There are two ways that this affects his sleeping patterns. If he uses his ability often (say a week where people just go nuts and he has to knock them out to keep chaos from breaking out in the school) then he needs to sleep an absurd amount to even function. If he doesn’t use his ability, he has a nasty case of insomnia. When he was younger there were times when he used his ability and it would backfire and knock him out as well, which happens less frequently, but can occur if he’s not paying enough attention.


{That Girl}
I'm in love with that girl. And she told me, that she's in love with me

It all started when Mom ‘n Pop fell in love. High school sweethearts, college lovers and eventually a happily married couple for the past 35 years. I was born after their third anniversary in September. A happy baby with dirty blonde curls like Mom and baby blues like Pop, a good mixture of the two of them. It was a small family, but it was a happy family and they were trying for one more addition. A baby girl who couldn’t have been more different and yet any more loved than she was.

Ava had me and our parents wrapped around her tiny fingers from the time that she was born. She had been a happy child, both of us were. She struggled in school, but that was because she couldn’t focus. Her mind wandered in a million different directions and she couldn’t just sit still or she got bored. Ava was the kind of person who needed to go out, to have fun and live life in the real world, not in books.

{Five Hundred Miles}
If you missed the train I'm on, You will know that I am gone.

When I was thirteen and Ava was nine, I manifested. Tactile Anesthesia was the name of it and I could somehow touch someone and render them unconscious. It happened while I was in school and two of my friends were getting into a rather gnarly fight. I’ve always been sort of a peacekeeper so there I was right in between them. I put my hands on their shoulders and boom all three of us ended up passed out on the ground. At that time, I hadn’t been able to control anything about my ability. When I used it, it was like it backfired on me and I ended up equally as unconscious. I was gathered by two recruiters, a woman and a man who told me what I was and where I had to go. I went from living on the East Coast in a big city to a small town in Montana, leaving my family and trying to find my way around a new school to make new friends and figure out what the hell I was ha!

{Losing My Way}
Having fun, I was living the life

In Bellefonte, I managed to find my group of people. A tight little pack of low key dorks who also liked sports and could score a lady or two. I wasn’t a ladies man, I didn’t charm the pants off of just anyone, but I also wasn’t some lame virgin until I was thirty. It was a good life, though I missed my family, I missed my sister and I sometimes missed what normal felt like. I was trying to keep up with my old life, but it was being shoved violently to the side by my new one and I needed to learn to embrace it.

While I was off in my own world, Ava was growing into hers. She became quite the free spirit, an adventurer, someone who loved to go out and grab life by the balls. Every chance she got she was doing something wild and a little dangerous, but she was loving every second of it. She’d send me pictures and postcards of her adventures with her friends. And we talked every week at least once on the phone.

In all her fun and wild times, she had an accident...

{Until the End of Time}
There's so much darkness in the world, But I see beauty left in you girl

After Ava died in a sky-diving accident, I guess most people would have reacted differently than I had. I grieved my sister, don’t get me wrong, but I didn’t stop living my life after hers ended. Ava was the type of person who thought everyone should take risks, everyone should have fun because they only had one life to live. She didn’t care if it was a short one, or a long one, or if the world was against you, she always told me that if I continued playing everything safe, I’d never be truly happy.

It was that advice that pushed me into the direction of my dreams coming true. I graduated from BA and decided to continue out my time there as a recruiter. It was also at BA that I met the woman of my dreams, Samantha, who I married exactly one year, five months and twenty-nine days after I met her. I knew we were soulmates the moment we met, but it took me a little longer to convince her.

{Mirrors}
The vacancy that sat in my heart Is a space that now you hold

I’ve been married to Samantha for six years, I’ve been a recruiter for almost ten, and now I’m a father and have been for just under five. Life moves fast, and my sister was right, if you don’t live it to the fullest, then isn’t it a waste? I thought when I lost Ava that I would lose myself too because she was a big part of me, but I still carry her around when I try new things and when I have to let go. Sammy helps me with that a lot and so does our baby girl, Avery.

Ava made me into a bit of a tight ass because I like to protect those I care about, but she also made it possible for me to balance both sides of myself. The adventurer and the control freak. I don’t know what I would be like if she was still alive, but ya know, I know that she lived the life that she wanted.
