Character Name: Pharell Moore

Physical Description:
Pharell is a 30 year old American man who would turn a few heads, but his appeal is not for all. He has extremely unkept brown dark brown hair and big blue-gray eyes. His skin is a very pale white color and stays that way no matter how much sun he might try to get. His face might be considered bony, with high cheek bones.

He's about 5'10", average height for a man his age, and weighs in at about 154 lbs. His weight is mostly muscle, but he has been getting lazy as of late and could very easily be gaining some weight. His metabolism isn’t the best, so he needs to watch what he eats. He’s rather lanky, his legs making up the majority of his height.

Pharell’s clothing is nothing exciting. He usually wears button up shirts, ties, and nice pants when he’s headed to work, and sometimes when he’s going out on dates (when he does go out on them). When he’s slacking off at home he wears well worn t-shirts, sweaters, and jeans. He doesn’t have much sense of style or fashion, but he doesn’t give the impression that he’s color blind either. Shoes tend to be dress or gym shoes.

A reference for Pharell would be Cillian Murphy, IMDB profile found here.

Background:
Pharell was born and raised in an alternative universe from our own, but is extremely similar to our own. It would almost be identical except for the fact that something occurred in their history to wipe out half of the human population, and there is also a recent emergence of psychics in their world. No one knows much about The Event, which occurred some 70 years ago from what would be considered Pharell’s present day, but they do know that’s when people started to gain abilities once only imagined. Empaths, psychics, people with telekinesis, clairvoyance, and other abilities of the mind began to appear. They weren’t extremely common, but soon it wasn’t surprising when you gave birth to a child with those abilities.

Pharell had two older sisters and grew up with both of his parents. His childhood was extremely normal, his sisters constantly dragging him around to do girly things, but otherwise he was an extremely happy child. When he hit puberty, however, his clairsentience woke up. After that he had a hard time being close to friends and family alike, but he tried anyway. He moved out of his house after high school, skipping college to go right into the work force. He then took up a job at a call center, and has been a drone their ever since, more than social enough to keep his position there.

He’s had various relationships in the past with both men and women alike, however it has never gotten anywhere beyond the first date. He’s had some one-night stands, but never gets serious about it.

Personality:
Pharell is a bit of a goofball. He's extremely laid back, easy going, and doesn't let people get to him. It is extremely rare to find him in a bad mood, and he is never, ever angry with people. Hostile people are treated with a smile and some playful jokes, never replied to in kind. He would much rather try and get others to calm down and be happy with him then to yell back at them.

His laid back nature tends to give him an air of stupidity, and he's all right with that. He isn't a genius, but he has a good head on his shoulders and could hold his own in a conversation. Pharell doesn't mind getting serious about things, as long as it never gets too deep. Deep, probing conversations cause him to be avoidant, and if he can't weasel his way out of it, he will simply stop talking to the person who brought the subject up. He is always determined to stay in good spirits, as it is easier to handle his power that way.

He is curious to a point, not ever really trying to stick his nose into other people’s business but he does like to know things about the people and things around him. He’ll ask questions but tends to give up after light pestering. He figures he has all the time in the world to wait for people to spill their secrets, why waste time pulling teeth?

He cares very much about other people, but has some trouble getting close to them. It isn’t any big mysterious secrets or dark brooding past; it’s his clairsentience that usually keeps him from getting close. Being in love and feeling it make his very sensitive to sensations, and it’s extremely unpleasant to be that open all the time. So he tries to avoid developing deep attachments to people, despite how much he likes others. This doesn’t mean he is successful, of course, and he’s failed many times in his life.

Note-worthy:
Pharell had clairsentience abilities, which are made worse through sense extension. This means he has the ability to sense things he should not normally be able to through any and all of his senses. For example, say he is near someone, he brushes up against their shoulder, suddenly he tastes what they ate for lunch, he smells their favorite smell, he sees the image of the one they love, he hears the music in their head, etc. This ability is usually touch-activated, but can also use his sense extension to experience the sensations of those he might be a distance from.

Clairsentience also gives its user the ability to perceive the auras of others. Pharell can see anyone aura as long as he has physical contact with them. The aura tells him what kind of mood they’re in, and also allows him to see what kind of emotions they are feeling. Example, a happy person experiencing joy would look green and almost bubbly. An upset person experiencing sadness would have deep blue and rain-like.

This power has varying ranges and it fluxes with his own emotional state. When he is calm he is at his lowest level of perception, however when he is highly emotional, say if someone has pissed him off, his perception level goes off the charts. At all times he is prone to being influenced by other people experiencing strong sensations, but is able to block them out for the most part when it is just one or two people. In crowded rooms he has problems with this and is unable to discern between reality and the sensations imposed on him by other people.

Sample Roleplay:
“Yes, Mrs. Jacobs, and thank you for giving us your opinions today.” A laugh and a winning smile at no one but his cubicle wall. “You have a wonderful day too. Good bye now!” The click on the line indicated that he was now disconnected from the woman. Upbeat as ever, he scrolled onto the next name on his list for the day and chuckled. Another woman. Women were much easier to talk to over the phone, especially during this time of day. It was a little past 2 in the afternoon, meaning most women who were at home were not very busy.

He pushed in the numbers on the phone and waited for the number to connect while he sipped his cup of coffee. Mmm. Delicious. He truly loved his coffee.

A new click caused him to swallow quickly. “Good afternoon Ms. Petrusky, my name is Pharell Moore and I’m calling to see if you’re interested in-“

There was a wailing sound on the other end, causing Pharell to stop mid-sentence. “Ms. Petrusky? Are you all right..?”

“ARE YOU CALLING ABOUT PRINCESS’ LIVER PROBLEMS?!” A screeching voice sounded. Pharell winced before he turned down his headphones.

Well damn. It was another crazy one. He couldn’t resist the grin spreading on his lips. He loved the crazy ones. “Ma’am, I’m not sure. Princess, she’s the one who’s been throwing up like crazy, right?” God, if only he could record these conversations.

“THE VET SAYS I NEED TO STOP GIVING HER BRANDY, BUT I KNOW BETTER THAN THAT!” Came another howl from the woman. Pharell turned his microphone off so he could laugh properly. This woman was bonkers! He turned it back on once he had calmed himself. “You’re right, ma’am. Brandy will not harm the cat. Have you tried giving her Alka-Seltzer?”

“….NO.” He chuckled under his breath at this. Too easy. “Well that’s your next move, of course. You need to give her some right away, otherwise she won’t last long! Hurry up! And have a nice day, Ms. Petrusky!” He chirped, hanging up his end of the phone.

Still laughing, he crossed her name off the calling list. Obviously, she had no need for their products.

Sample Entry:
Wherever we are, we still seem to have e-mail. E-mail is a very good thing! :D

I really hope this place has good Vietnamese food. I am starving. All this time-stalling is building up an appetite!
