Name: Ryan Carthage

Eye Color: Hazel

Ethnicity: Polish-American

Physique: Slightly taller than average, very well-built/thick.

Hair: Short-cropped—though longer than buzz-cut length—brunette.

Clothing: Lazily professional. Prefers simple t-shirts, often black, and dark denim jeans, but can be found in a blazer once and a while in an attempt to seem professional. Hates ties and dress shoes but also grudgingly wears them occasionally.

Other: Dimples.

Power: Persuasion through words—if he tells someone to do something, they do it, and are never the wiser.

Pros: Tons of practical applications to conversations with other people: Crowd-control through memory manipulation, summaries of what he’s said suffice (i.e. “You remember me making a speech,” and they do.), can keep people from finding out his power just by using it. | Aside from a few loopholes, it’s impossible for him to be lied to. | Great for use on the Active Team, since he can stop a fight before it even starts if given the chance or apprehend criminals simply by telling them that they don’t want to resist him.

Cons: Makes it impossible for people to learn from their mistakes if he corrects them with his power; they simply don’t remember making it. | Not a power he can really talk about; if people know what he does, they tend to become wary or suspicious of him using it on them. | Applications limited by conscience.

Personality: Cool-headed, but exasperated easily; hides it well. Prone to keeping up a professional façade, though any who know him well recognize it as a façade easily. Recognizes his good looks and is annoyed that he is defined by them, but has been known to use them to his advantage when his powers don’t apply.

Relationship Status: Dating Sirina Raleigh, also a Power.

Occupation: Assistant-headmaster at the Rolph Raleigh Institute, a Power-related military academy. Member of “Active Team,” a sort of police unit of Powers. Volunteers as a demonstrator in Active Team classes.

Location: Active team living quarters at the Institute.
