Personality

``Dislikes;; Staying inside. When people talk quietly. Silence. Keeping secrets. Gossip.
``Hobbies;; Singing/discovering new music. Garret loves watching movies and tv. Bird watching. Garrett loves to go to odd little shops and buy collectable items. He has a countless number of unfinished collections such as coins, stones and other little trinkets.
``Quirks;; Garrett becomes extremely uncomfortable when it’s too quiet or if someone approaches him alone. When this happens he tends to touch his ears or tug on his ear lobes. Garrett cannot fall asleep without music or some sort of white noise. He has a lot of trouble keeping quiet. He gets rather fidgety near the end of classes from the prolonged silence.
``Flaws;; Garrett tends to be impatient. If he has to wait for something he usually just gives up on it. He is also very energetic which tends to make him lose his focus. His lack of an attention span means he offends or annoys a lot of people trying to hold a conversation with him. He will jump on any opportunity that excites him in that moment. He is not organized and not good at planning things out.
``Secrets;; He has a secret phobia of fish because they don’t make any noise. His fear embarrasses him. Garrett has never been on a date or had a best friend because talking one on one with someone makes him uncomfortable.
``Personality;; Goofy, social, eccentric. Garrett doesn’t take himself too seriously. He loves to laugh and have a good time. If he had his way he would roam around town every day meeting new people and finding little trinkets to bring home. He has the most fun with loud energetic people and tends to feel uncomfortable around quiet people. At times his inability to hold conversation with introverts embarrasses him. He would love to be able to hold his focus but his over active mind always has him jumping around subjects and activities.
Fiery, passionate, loud. Garrett is not afraid of being heard. Wether it be his thoughts or his singing he does not shy away from piping up or chiming in. He tends to work in short bursts of energy and then spend some time goofing off. He gets distracted easily but his constant desire to try new things means he is always starting different projects before finishing other ones. Despite all of this he always does things from his heart. If something interests him he pursues it passionately, that is until something else grabs ahold of his mind.
History
``Mom;; Regina Clement, 47, Musician, Garrett and his mom have a great relationship. They have very similar personalities and interests. He tries to stay in contact with her as much as he can to keep up on the progress of her music career.
``Dad;; Nolan Green, Deceased, Musician, Nolan was Garrett’s closest friend. He always made Garrett feel like his odd power was acceptable and normal. He made Garrett feel loved and welcomed. He died unexpectedly of a heart condition. He never looked or acted sick. Garrett still misses Nolan.
``Step Dad;; Wayne Rice, 45, Army, Wayne is a stern man and doesn’t have much in common with his step son. Despite this Garrett has a lot of respect for Wayne. He believes that Wayne saved their family after his father died.
``Sibling(s);; Garrett is an only child but has always wanted siblings.
``Pet(s);; Garrett’s mother is an animal fanatic and has always kept their house buzzing with exotic pets. Garret’s favorite pet is an African grey parrot named Felix. Garrett enjoys teaching Felix to make new noises.
``Other;; Because of Wayne’s military career Garrett and his family have to move a lot. This means Garrett hasn’t really had a chance to meet any of his other family members.
``History;; Lovebirds. Nolan Green met Regina Clement when he was young and foolish. They were both young and foolish as a matter of fact. Their shared love of music is what brought them together. They thought they had it all figured out. They would live off of their music and never work a day in their lives. Maybe one day they would have a family, maybe not. They never planned anything, not even their wedding. Things just seemed to fall into place. One day Garrett came along. The doctors said he had the loudest cry they had ever heard.
“My little song bird” Regina would coo. From the day they brought Garrett home from the hospital he never stopped making noise. It wasn’t until he was about 5 that he started making strange noises. Odd noises. Unnatural noises. Garrett would sit by the phone, staring, waiting. His face would light up with joy whenever it began to ring. He’d open his mouth wide and emit a perfect imitation of ringing. He loved to watch tv. Whenever someone had an interesting voice Garrett would jump up and parade around the house imitating it flawlessly. And music, oh music! Garrett could listen to his parents make music for hours on end. With every airy note that sailed from his mother’s guitar he would perk up and copy it.
Garrett’s power never concerned his parents. In fact they always told him that once he was older that he could be a part of their band and be any instrument he wanted. Life was grand. Garrett was home schooled and all he really worried about was singing and making music. That was until Garrett turned 13 and something terrible happened. No one saw it coming. It wasn’t planned. It just sort of happened like everything else in their lives. Nolan died of a heart condition that ran in his family. Garrett and his mother were shattered.
From that day on, Regina promised herself that her life would change. She would set in place some sort of stability. She wouldn’t live in the moment anymore. She would plan. Two years later she met Wayne Rice. He was a kind and caring man and more than anything he was concerned for Regina. Perhaps it wasn’t love at first sight but Regina felt that marrying Wayne was the responsible thing to do. Garrett needed a father figure and she needed help providing for him. However Wayne’s military career made for an inconsistent living situation. Instability is the last thing Regina wanted.
When Regina and Wayne discovered Stone Brook it seemed perfect. Wayne never admitted it but Garrett’s powers concerned him and Regina just wanted a stable place for Garrett to be. They enrolled Garrett without telling him and to their surprise he was okay with it. He was ready to be on his own away from home. Home felt oppressive. Even if they were moving at least once a year it all seemed so routine. Garrett came to Stone Brook with one promise to himself. He would not fall into a routine. He would live freely.
``Powers/Abilities/Gifts;; Garrett has the power of voice alteration and sound imitation. If he hears a voice or a sound for the first time he can attempt an imitation but it is not always spot on. If it is a voice or a sound he hears a lot he can imitate it perfectly. He uses his power mostly to entertain himself or others. One of his favorite hobbies is bird watching. He enjoys learning the different bird calls. When asked about his power, Garrett tends to brush it off. He doesn’t view it as a power at all. “Power sounds heroic,” he’ll say, “I’m not a hero. I’m just noisy.”
``Role Play Sample;;
The spring sky was a pale milky blue. A single cloud rolled lazily over the tree tops. The forest was only just waking up. Wild flowers swayed in the crisp breeze alongside a gurgling stream. Serenity.
Suddenly a piercing note shattered the silence. With swinging arms and heavy steps Garrett crashed into a clearing. He stopped singing abruptly to survey his surroundings. He drew in a breath enjoying the icy air that stung in his chest. A noisy bout of laughter exploded from his lungs as he pushed on through the clearing.
The forest did not appreciate his singing. Birds began to call out, rabbits scurried out of his path, the wind even seemed to pick up. It was as if everything was telling him to pipe down. A goofy grin spread across Garrett's face. He froze in his tracks and locked eyes with a raven perched in a tree. The raven cried out in annoyance. Garrett sucked in a huge breath and released a noisy raven call. The raven cocked it's head and confusion and flapped away. Garrett burst into laughter and continued on his way.
Once he had himself good and tangled within the twisting paths of the forest he plopped down and let out a sigh. Resting back on his hands he tilted his head up to the sky. Thin veins of light stretched across the thick mass of green over head. His eyes slid shut. He sat there, completely immersed in the sounds of the forest. His mind floated off to some hazy day dream. The distant sound of a school bell sent him drifting back to reality. He lingered there for a moment drinking it all in before hopping up and bounding back to Stone Brook.
