Character History

Manifesting

Peter manifested his ability early in life, though the full extent of it would not show up until later in his life. As an elementary school student, he would often covet other peoples skills, as most children do. He would want to draw like one kid, read like another, run or skip like a third. But, unlike most children, he could do something about it. He would covet someones ability, and feel a strange urge to touch that person. Seeming interested in what they were doing, he would put a hand over their shoulder, looking at whatever it was. The longer he kept his hand their shoulder, the more that the tingling sensation went away. Soon it would be gone and he would walk away. Soon, Peter would find that he could do those things now, and the other person couldn't. Now Peter was the fastest, the smartest, and the most artistic. He was becoming the perfect child. But soon, he had become just too good. He no longer felt these urges to absorb attributes. And, seeing as he absorbed these powers when he was young, Peter soon forgot of his amazing ability. For years, his powers laid dormant.

The Second Manifestation

Peter spent the next few years telling himself that he never had that power. That he never drained people people of their skills. He was just really talented, and those other people were all just really unlucky. Believing that he could drain people of their skills would have been craziness, wouldn't it? That was, until he took a trip to Israel.

Being interested in the Middle East region, he and a few friends traveled there the summer after they graduated. The trip was fantastic, filled with exciting stops and exotic locations. Just two hours before they were scheduled to leave, a large explosion ripped through the market in which they were shopping. The explosion through Peter a great distance. Suddenly, a familiar feeling returned to his body. A strange, tingling feeling that he hadn't experienced since he was a little kid. At first he worried if he was injured, but soon found that he was in perfect shape other than a small gash in his arm. Looking up, he saw a man not five feet from his. He was unconscious and bleeding pretty bad. Peter felt an urge to touch him that he first thought was just an urge to help the man. He turned the man over, to see if he was okay. That was when he noticed it. The man had his skull exposed. The skull was silver, almost metallic. And his eye...his eye was a blazing red. At first Peter wanted to shout and run, but then, he got an urge to touch the man's exposed skull. He reached his hand to touch it. The tingling feeling started to fade, yet he still felt that he needed to keep touching. After about ten more seconds the feeling went away, as well as the red light from the man's eye. He looked in disgust as the man's silver skull began to turn white, and the metallic look faded. "What have I done?"

Where do we go from here?

Peter fled the scene of the explosion, running and running, not caring where he went. He ran on and on into the night, into the desert. Finally, exhausted and confused, Peter collapsed on the ground, going into a deep sleep. When he woke the next morning, he was still horribly confused. What did he do to that man? Why did that man look like that? Why had he felt like he needed to touch that man? Peter's eye's noticed something on his arm, or rather, something in his arm. The cut he had received from the explosion had something in it, or so he thought. He reached over to his arm to inspect the cut. He pulled the skin apart.
