TWO C - FAMILY AND HISTORY

Born William James Reed in the French quarter of New Orleans. His mother was a french immigrant named Chloe Blanc and his father, James Malcom Reed, was an American national who owned a local Jazz club. Will was the only child. Growing up in a city famed for its cultural diversity and supernatural history had its affect on William. He developed a curiosity about the world and a desire to learn more about the paranormal. His second desire was fueled partly by his friendship with Naomi Clarke, a Cajun girl and daughter of a voodoo priest, and partly due to his powers which manifested at age 12 and which Naomi helped him control.

William went to a local college to study for a psychology diploma whilst earning enough money to go travelling. During this time he and Naomi dated but they split up a year ago when William decided to visit Europe. He travelled to Spain, Italy, Germany and France and finally ended up in the U.K where he applied for a joint degree in psychology and occult studies.

THREE E - MYSTERIES

Psychic ability

William is psychokinetic. If he concentrates hard enough he can move objects with his mind. He doesn't have a huge degree of control over this. He can push and pull things, slam doors etc, but can't cause precise movements.

There is also a negative aspect to this ability. When he gets angry he generates random psychokinetic bursts. These can be quite destructive - windows smash, objects break. Things fly at people. The angrier he gets the more violent the effect is.


Dark and dirty secrets

Maybe he has some, maybe he hasn't :P
