 POWER Graham has the power of mind-shifting, which in one way can be considered the mental equivalent of shape-shifting. Graham has full access to his entire mind and complete control over it which has several benefits. One of these benefits is enhanced memory and this means that Graham is capable of remembering large amounts of information in great detail for much longer than the average human being. Another benefit that comes with mind-shifting is that Graham is capable of altering his perception of things, this simply means that say for example someone near him is being extremely loud - he is capable of making it seem as though he is muting that person (but he is the only one that will be unable to hear that person). Thanks to the fact that he is capable of altering his perception of things, Graham is naturally immune to mind-altering abilities.

While this may seem like over powering ability, it is completely internal and since Graham is still young he has not perfected altering his perception of things around him - in truth, Graham does not realize that he can do this but instead only does so passively when needed. More will be explained in personality and history.

 APPEARANCE Graham is a decently average looking teenage boy. He's not overly attractive, nor is he extremely ugly. Graham stands at about 5"10 with an average weight/build for his height. Graham is of European descent, so he is naturally Caucasian and has a horrible time tanning if he's ever in the sun.

Graham has shaggy brown hair that's almost never brushed and dark brown eyes to match, the young man also has a strong jaw-line including small details in his face that would easily make him attractive to an observant person (but naturally average to the un-observant). With how Graham walks, it is very easy to tell that the young man is extremely withdrawn. He typically avoids making eye-contact with people, so as to avoid conversation but finds that it only works about fifty percent of the time. As for how he dresses, normally very casual. It is unusual to find Graham wearing something nice and most of the time can be found in a pair a jeans and a t-shirt with some sort of game logo or design on it.

 PERSONALITY Graham is a critical and somewhat judgmental young man of the people around him. Graham could easily be considered the loner type because of how much he enjoys being by himself and doing his own thing. The idea of being around groups of people is actually a little bit intimidating to him, but being the type that believes he shouldn't show fear to people it's typically rare that any person around him would realize like this. Despite the fact that he doesn't enjoy people though, Graham has a bad habit of attracting people to him.

It's not because of a magnetic personality or anything like that, it's mostly because the young man gives amazing advice. He's an extremely capable listener (despite the fact that if you were to talk to him you would initially think he was in his own world the whole time) and if you come to him with a problem, Graham figures out a solution rather quickly and for the few people that follow his advice things typically go their way and then they start coming back to Graham for more advice.

Since Graham is not the type to be easily annoyed by people (unless they're interrupting him while he is playing a video game), it is very easy for people to often get his attention. While yes, this may seem contradictory to the first statement I made about this personality - Graham has the type of blunt personality that when people talk to him they assume that he is being honest with them "for their own benefit" and most people thank him for it. It's awfully confusing for the young man when he thinks he's just insulting people around him. Graham really has no issue socializing with people and he doesn't suffer from any social problems except for the fact that he prefers to be left alone.

 WEAKNESSES Graham suffers from extreme headaches after using his ability to remember something and sometimes even when he is altering his perception of something. It's very easy for him to also get tunnel vision thanks to his power, as well Graham has not learned to multi-task correctly in some areas of his life yet. Graham is also definitely not a brawny sort of guy, while he isn't so weak that he would be unable to defend himself - the young man doesn't really look for fights in the first place.

 STRENGTHS Thanks to his power, Graham is an extremely smart guy. It's not obvious though, just because Graham chooses to not make it obvious but it's not unusual for the young man to excel in most classes that he enrolls in. When it's required, Graham is a tactical person and typically knows how to get on someone's good side if it will benefit him. In a sense, Graham could be considered a somewhat manipulative person.

 HISTORY Graham was born in Louisiana to a middle class family with two mothers and a sister that is four years older than him. Graham didn't have a stressful childhood, and he has always had excellent memory as far back as he can remember (which is pretty far back). From a young age, Graham developed an interest in video games - especially real time strategy games. There was on game in particular that Graham started to play non-stop (which will remain unnamed so everyone can just imagine) and soon enough the young boy at the time started to join tournaments at the age of twelve. It blew his parents minds that their son did so well in school along with being extremely talented with several different games. After going to tournaments for about four years, Graham was playing once in a tournament with about 200-400 spectators and with a few other competitors. For the sake of entertaining the crowd, Graham just barely managed to win and afterwards was escorted to an area to where he could sit and sign some things for any people that were fans of him.

While he was doing so, a mysterious man came up to him and handed him a card with information about Foresta Academy on it. There was really no words exchanged and the man was gone as soon as Graham had seen him. Thinking nothing of it at first, Graham ignored the card and put it in his pocket for later viewing. After coming home though, the sixteen year old decided to inspect the card some more - seeing that it was a school for gifted children. Confused about why he would be considered one, Graham talked to his mothers about it and asked them if he could go to this school. His parents were hesitant at first, but then managed to get in touch with Martina (the Headmistress) and they discussed how they would find out if he had a power and what would happen from there on out. It only took a month until Martina got to meet Graham and they figured out together a small bit of his power. After Martina confirmed that Graham did have a power to his parents, they decided to let Graham attend Foresta.
