THECHARACTER
hey, i'm [MERRICK]. i'm [SEVENTEEN] years old, and still aging. people say that i'm [SINGLE] but i will be looking out for those [GIRLS]. some say that i look like [SKANDAR KEYNES] but i don't think so. i currently belong to the [BIRD-KIDS] and living large!
THEAPPEARANCE
[Merrick stands at about six feet tall, give or take an inch. Due to his less-than-adequate nourishment, he is pretty thin, but he is somewhat muscular from moving around so much. He has messy brown hair, despite any attempts to brush it. His eyes are also brown, and his skin is pretty well-tanned. His face has a Turkish look to it, from his dark eyebrows to his jaw shape.
His clothes are generally nice, consisting of either jeans, slacks or cargo pants, and often a button-down shirt over a t-shirt. He likes to wear some kind of overshirt at all times, be it a sweater of coat, and either combat boots or sneakers. One thing he always has, regardless of other clothes, is his father’s dog tags from the Vietnam War. They are very sentimental to him.]
THEPERSONA
[Merrick is a loner at heart. He prefers to stick to himself, not dealing with most other people. As a result of the experimenting done on him, he doesn’t trust anyone without getting to know them, and then still he’s very cautious. He doesn’t have anyone he can truly call a friend, but he has several people he respects. There’s another important thing for him- respect. If you deserve it, you’ll get it. If you don’t, then he won’t necessarily be rude, but he won’t do you any favors, either.]
THEPOWER
[Mental Suggestions- Merrick can 'suggest' things to people, allowing him to sway people to his side of an argument easily.
Telekinesis- Merrick can move small to medium sized objects with his mind. The power is in it's infancy, so he has to concentrate hard to use it, and the larger the object is, the more difficult it is to move it.]
THEHISTORY
[Merrick was born in Europe. His mother, Yasmin Balik, was a Turkish-Persian prostitute, and his father, Isaiah Kennedy, a fourth-generation Lebanese-American descendant in the US Army. While his father was on leave, he went on vacation to Turkey to visit a friend he met while abroad. He met Merrick’s mother through his friend and went on a few dates. He didn’t know she was a prostitute, so he was unaware that she was simply enjoying good food and gifts, which she later sold for heroin, of which she was a huge user. She eventually became pregnant, and several months after Isaiah left and a failed street abortion, she gave birth to Merrick.
Yasmin tried to sell him off, and as it happened, one organization was offering good money for babies. She sold him off and bought drugs. She is believed to remain in Turkey, albeit high and absolutely broke. Merrick, needless to say, was experimented upon and was given bird wings. Having not known any better, he was pretty obedient, but he disliked his life. At the age of fourteen he overheard some of the other test subjects talking about the world outside and living free as a bird. They conspired to escape. That night, when they tried to break out, a lot of the security was focused on the guys trying to escape. Seeing an opportunity, he flew off before anyone noticed.
Not knowing where he was or what to do, Merrick stopped at a town nearby wearing only a hospital gown and with his wings out in the open. When people tried to grab him and call the cops due to the bird kid, he escaped once more, stopping only at an abandoned house to steal proper clothing which allowed him to hide his wings.
Now Merrick lives in NYC, having gotten his name from choosing two random names from a magazine he saw. He is self-educated through library books, and works odd jobs to make money to live in his small apartment using forged identification papers to get anything he needs. He’s not sure what he wants in life, but he knows that he’s not going to find it here.]
