Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gaian Name: Robayn
Name: Thomas Witte (pro: 'witt'-'tee')
Age: 22
Hair & Eyes: Dirty Blonde & Green
Nationality: American
Concept: opportunist; trust fund baby.

Bio: Thomas started his life as Thomas Greene of the Pheonix Greene family. Though they were far from the only Greene family in Pheonix Thomas grew with an exceptional aptitude to arrogance which fueled his belief that there was only one Greene family that was important - his. As he grew more and more intelligent he began to suspect that his parents were not his real parents but, when he finally found the proof for himself, he never spoke a word on the matter to them. Infact he really had no desire to as he recieved everything he ever desired from them from training in martial arts from a tutor, training in ancient forms of swordplay, and all the electronic equipment he wanted to tinker with.

Coming of age found him attending Arizona State, naturally, for though they were not his real parents he still loved them and did not wish to be far from them while he attented school (nor far from their wallets.) Arrogance, social popularity, and a rather large budget for partying quickly landed Thomas as one of the most popular students at the University - despite his interests on the side.

In his second year he met a group of people who had formed a student organized 'Paranormal Research' club of sorts and found himself drawn to it. Maybe it was because he'd always felt different from those around him, or maybe it was because of a dream he had, but he soon found himself one of the members. Shortly upon becoming a full-fledged member he met Angela Witte, young, sweet, and bright (although even more arrogant than even himself,) Angela Witte. The two bonded almost instantly and even began to compete with one another on their side projects. Thomas provided himself as a subject to the committee as he soon discovered he had some potential in Psychic abilities, though he never told Angela, and soon prided himself in the ability to hold one over on her while they continued to battle one another with both will and arrogance.

Their rivalry eventually drove them apart and their arrogance dug the separation even deeper. Neither of them could tolerate the other any longer and when Angela suddenly disappeared from Campus Thomas found himself thankful and releived compared to his peers who were, for the most part, concerned.

The same day that the club president recieved an email from Angela telling them all that she hadn't disappeared or been abducted Thomas received a care package from his parents. They sent love, cookies, new socks, and a letter admitting finally that he had been adopted. They wanted to tell him in person but because he seemed so busy with school (and obsessed with his need to beat and humiliate Angela) this was the easiest way to reach him. In the same envelope was a copy of his birth record, health information, and a letter and a picture from his birth parents - Richard and Liane Witte, also of Pheonix.

It might not have meant anything to the rich-kid playing student but for the last name. He knew these people not from their picture but from what he had heard Angela speak of when they weren't at eachother's throats. It was this knowledge that spurred him into leaving the University of Arizona as well. He didn't know where Angela was, or what he would do once he found her, but now that he knew that they were bonded through blood he knew he had to either find her.

All his life he had prided himself not only in his name, his stature, his social advantages and his looks, he'd also prided himself in his 'special'ness. He did not acknowledge other Greene families because his was the only one that mattered. Now there was another Witte, a blonde, fair, twenty-two year old Witte (his twin,) and he could not accept that. When he found his sister he did not know what he would do, whether he would become overcome with a long-lost sense of 'big brother' responsibility, whether their bitter rivalry would spark once more, or if he would simply have to get rid of her.

Along with a regular source of income from his parents Thomas earns a little extra on the side as he travels as a thrill-seeker and general dare-taker. Betting money on his ability to survive without letting them on to his extra abilities is one of the more entertaining pursuits he's taken on in his life.

FAULTS

Addiction

Effect: At random moments, the character will experience hallucinations which will cause him to react in such a way as to adversely affect those around him or even himself. Occassionally, those with great psychic powers or the ability to see the future suffer from this disorder, only instead of seeing visions of no real significance, their hallucinations are laden with hidden meaning, predictions of the future, or insight into the mysteries around them.

Hemophiliac
Bonus: 1000
Level: No
Description: A blood disorder which prevents wounds from healing affects the character. His injuries heal with great difficulty, often bleeding with even the slightest provocation.

Sadist
Bonus: 200
Level: No
Description: The character enjoys causing others pain. Whether this comes from deep-seated insecurities or anti-social tendencies, the character's desire to inflict unnecessary suffering on others can be rather unnerving.
Effect: When an enemy reaches 0 Life or surrenders, the character must make a Will Feat or continue attacking them. The character may attempt a Will Feat after each successful attack to cease attacking the target. You may not target another enemy until you stop attacking the one you are focused on. Also, other characters who view this act are sure to think you are dangerous or mentally unstable.

Spiritual Magnetism
Bonus: 100
Level: No
Description: Something is strange and alluring about the character's spiritual essence. It draws supernatural entities and circumstances to it like a magnet...which always results in strange, madcap scenarios which have come to define the character's rather unorthodox life.
Effect: All manner of supernatural beings are drawn to the character which, more often than not, constantly puts his life and sanity in danger.

Effect: Make a Will feat at +5 Difficulty when the character encounters his fear. Failure will cause him to sieze up, paralyzed by fear and unable to take any action unless he makes a successful Will feat on his next turn. Failing this Will feat will induce a panic attack. In any case, he suffers a loss of 1d4 Threshold each time he encounters his fear. Some common phobias to choose from include:
Acrophobia: Fear of heights

~Reserved~

Consciousness returns slowly to Greg, as the sedative reluctantly releases its grip.

Must be time to kill again, they only hit me with the trank to move me... and I hear a crowd... he thinks to himself, groaning, as he picks himself up from the ground, and shakes his aching head.

Once his head clears, he looks around, finally noticing his armament, and checking that the safeties are off, and a round is chambered in each firearm, just as he was taught before his capture 5 months before... but he doesn't think of that. Once he was promised his freedom, if he could survive. So far, he has...

The announcer yells, the crowd roars, and the steel door of the Arena cell swings open on rusty hinges, and he moves cautiously onto the floor, pistol ready in his right hand, bullwhip coiled in his left, civilization and past forgotten...

((Write a little establishing set, then make your first move... ))
