Somerled Haghar

Somerled Haghar
Nickname: Somer
Age: 15
Voice: Somerled's voice is very deep compared to his size. Deep and quiet. His voice is always calm and non-wavering. When angered his voice becomes sharp and quick. Fear causes his voice to tighten and crack. Other than anger and fear, his voice is very stable. He speaks slowly, concentrating on every word. Long periods of hearing him talk often find the listener getting rather tired. This is especially true when he is reading out of a book.

Power: Somerled has the ability to see things in a different way. He can basically see through walls with about as much detail as a normal person looking around a room. He can only see through thin walls and his eyelids with greatest detail. The thicker the wall, the lower the detail. In example, a six inch thick stone wall be a 50% cut in detail and brightness. A standard (3inch) wall made of drywall gives a 10% loss of detail. Small things, usually under 1-2 inches, grant no loss of detail. These values are relative to his normal eyesight. Because of his power, his normal eyesight can vary at will from 5/20 vision to 35/20 vision. Normal things are seen with 150% more clarity and detail than a normal human eye. He uses this power to be able to read books with his eyes closed and the book not even open to the first page. His normal detailed vision goes on for however long normal vision lasts. When looking through a wall, it's reduced to 50 feet. He can also chage focus from on eye to the other so he can read a book while walking and not run into stuff.

Physical Appearance Somerled's hair is a jet black and goes where it pleases. He does very little to care for it, other than washing it and an occasional brushing. His hair effortlessly meets his shoulders and often falls into his face. His hair is thin, straight, and almost never gets tangled up too badly. His eyes are a jade color and are very observant. Even though it isn't needed much, his eyes always look towards whatever he's looking at. He stands at around 5'9" and weighs somewhere in the area of 130 pounds. He has a lighter build than most boys his age and uses this to be able to fit into places other people couldn't.
Clothing: His clothing usually consists of black cargo pants, slippers or sneakers, and a dark colored (Black, Blue, Green) t-shirt. On a formal occasion he is not against wearing a dressier shirt and pants.

Personality: Somerled's personality goes from kind to lax to mad in the blink of an eye. When someone is distressed or nervous, he is extremely kind and is there for his friends, or people who may become one. He is rather quick to anger if a non-friend makes fun of him, or if someone threatens one of his friends. Other than those two scenarios, his personality is very easy going. He'd much rather spend his day doing what he loves the most, reading. He often enjoys sitting in odd positions while reading. In example, hanging off the edge of a bench while upside down so his feet are in the air and his head is on the ground. Or, while the book is on his head.
Likes: Books, libraries, art, writing, museums, large backpacks, naps
Dislikes: Tripping, untied shoes, clutter, people looking over his shoulder, drowning, swimming

Family: Somerled was an only child. He was born to an Italian woman Felicia Giabelli and Scottsman Graham Haghar. Grahm was born with leg spasms and took regular medicine to keep them under control. This is how he met Felicia, who was working as a pharmacist. They met regularly when Graham picked up his medications. They were both living in Campobasso, Italy. Eventually they fell in love, got married, and moved to Greave. Graham worked at the hospital in a neighboring town. Being just him and Felicia, he was able to put a lot of the money he made into an account for safekeeping. Seven years after living in Greave, they had a son, Somerled. When Somer was ten, his dad accidentally got a bottle of morphine from the pharmacist, in place of his normal medication. This mistake would change his life forever. Being in too much pain to notice, he popped the pills and flew away on a drug trip. Trusting her husband's judgment too much, Felicia tried some as well. They basically became hippies. They grew out their hair, began smoking pot along with other drugs, and spread "free love" around. The parents would occasionally stop at home to try and push Somerled into the hippie life. Being stronger-willed than that, Somerled would always refuse. They left all of their money with Somerled because they "didn't need to support the man." They are now living under a bridge somewhere.

History: Somer went to school until the day his dad got into the morphine. He was a good student, very quiet and spent most of his time in the library finding books and reading them until he could recite them cover to cover without missing a comma. He never had anyone to recite them to though. Everyone else was too busy goofing off or playing around to read. Or pay very much attention to him at all for that matter. Perturbed by this, he began visiting the orphanage to recite books to the younger orphans. At the orphanage he met Veran, who introduced him to Livia.
Thoughts on Current Predicament: Things are pretty good. There could be more people... And books...

Other: A runaway, he is used for most of the kidnappings.
