◊Personality◊
❣Positive❣
※Confident | Built as more so of a defense mechanism over the recent years, Gareth has always had a sense of self. He knew his assets and exactly how to use him. Despite fear becoming the main driver in his mind, the male still is confident at his core. He believes in smiling even when you're afraid. Never said he can't but always assure he could. This goes even more so in hand with his quite loud personality when he's not dealing with business. He's loud and proud, not afraid to express his opinion on something even if it isn't exactly favored.
※Spontaneous| While he does have the ability to glimpse into the future, Gareth does not have that for himself. He's decided to live life to the fullest and to the most, even if he's toned down on wild parties he used to throw. The male is a man of action, he lives in the moment even if sometimes the consequences aren't thought about.
※Suave | Gareth is very much a people person, always has been. After being through countless relationships and mentoring under his father, he's been around the block more than a few times. He knows exactly who he is and isn't afraid to show it. Sometimes leading to a larger than life ego, other times it's exactly what people would like to hear. He's been a charmer even when he was a child, more than enough mothers have pinched his cheeks, especially his own. The male will tell you what you want to hear, or at least what he thinks you want, which, if going by his past relationship, isn't always right.
❣Negative❣
※Self-centered | He was spoiled rotten as a child. In fact, Gareth used to be a pretentious, selfish, prick, who was a cheater and liar. He's taken a multitude of humble hits since due to his late wife, and because of it, the male has turned it down by a large amount. Yet, he still has a long way to go in caring about others more so than himself. While he may donate to charities, it's not always because he feels bad, its sometimes to make him look good. Always taught that his money and physic ability defined him, Gareth has had to learn that it's not everything like he once thought. Sometimes he only thinks about himself and his own interest, but day by day he's been trying to work on ridding that mindset.
※Cold | If not at social events or with friends, it's like seeing night and day. His grin turns into a blank look as he tries to focus whenever it's business-related. In the past he never took it seriously so now he's trying to be overly-serious to compensate. The once flirt swore off love, and now any time someone tries to advance on him he turns off, physically and emotionally, learning this trick from his mother after his parents divorced. Gareth has pulled up so many walls to try and keep himself safe that now he's afraid to let them down.
※Persistant | The male walks back and forth between the lines of persistence and stubbornness often. Hating to lose, he opts to keep trying even when the odds aren't in his favor. Sometimes enjoying the thrill of a challenge, other times it's his refusal to give up in his goal. When money or his status doesn't get what he wants, Fareth ends up becoming desperate and his real colors show. A spoiled rich boy who thinks he can always get what he wants. That's at his core, that's his label. He knows this and is trying hard to change himself, yet, without the guidance of his late wife, Gareth feels like he's falling back into old patterns with no one to stop him.
↢Likes↣
"Well, I enjoy a bunch of stuff. Im a fan of summer, going to the beach is always a blast. I like the outdoors too though in general. I never would have imagined how much we take for granted" he spoke, his hard gaze seeming to ease up a bit
(Biking, Partying, Dogs, and hot weather)
↢Dislikes↣
"If...I were, to be honest, all of this stuff. Going to interviews and meetings it's...tiering" The male explained with a weak smile as he sat up in his chair. "Does it get tiring for you too? Asking the same exact questions to different people? What a bore"
(Getting drunk, how his powers function, selfish people [He considers himself a WIP], and being alone)
↢Backstory↣
Stiffening up again, he furrowed his brows and folded his arms, "Too much to go into detail. Most of it is released to the public though so if you'd like, you can go and do your own research. You can email my assistant" he remarked coldly
(Son of a shaky marriage, Gareth's circumstances were nothing short of ordinary. His father, owner of a brewery business, mother a real estate agent, the man would often be caught cheating around with other women. Just as his mother had been about to leave, she became pregnant, and, deciding to stay together for their child, she forgave him. Naturally having white hair, both parents assumed Gareth was an albino, yet, neither had a history of anyone in their family who shared that trait. Despite being off to an odd start, as a young boy, Gareth was often coddled by his mother, seen as a saint in her eyes, an innocent child. Even whenever the male would intentionally mess something up, he quickly grew to learn that he could get away with just about everything as long as he smiled.
His father wanted him to be the successor of the business, keep in in the family as it had been passed down from generations. Gareth would always express his displeasure about the lessons and his mother would rush in to swoop him off and nag off his father. Around the end of elementary school was when things started to take a strange turn. Gareth had been with a group of friends one morning before a test and he received an odd vision that one friend would fail the test horribly. Everyone thought he was toying around but soon enough that test came, and when the vision was found out to be true, he was then looked at in a different light. His friends realized they could know their future anytime they wanted to, and his parents...they were both horrified and delighted that their son held some magical power. They showed off his little 'party trick' at parties, to all of their neighbors and people started flooding in like crazy. Eventually, authorities caught wind and due to the popularity of Gareth and his parent's wealth, it wasn't as simple as taking him away.
Instead, they settled on having the boy come in for testing at the hospital every month so they could keep tabs on the male. This sort of lifestyle for Gareth went on all the way up until high school. By then, Gareth had multiple friends, was known as the 'psychic boy', and was often the talk of the school for his ability. Yet, the older he had gotten, the worse his sight did in return. It was easy to just get contacts at first, but this would later result in him losing the privileges to drive since, without his contacts, he was legally blind. Gareth had been in a multitude of relationships by senior year, he took right after his father in that sense, after all, monkey see, monkey do, and the monkey did. Another name he became known as was a cheater. Yet, to him the label didn't matter, Gareth felt, untouchable.
It had been one graduation party and the male had been riding home with a bunch of friends. The driver drunk, spun out of control and while the fool had merely crashed into a tree, on that day, Gareth had brushed with death. His parents would later label him depressed after that, the male just avoided partying altogether, gaining a fear of dying in a car crash. The way his powers worked, Gareth could never see his own future or anything related to him. That also included his parents since they were an essential part of his life. Before, he had always known where he would head in life and exactly how he would do it. Knowing he could die at any moment and not even know it frightened him, so much so that he wanted to get rid of his powers.
That Summer Gareth visited the hospital often as more tests were done. As fate would have it, Gareth caught a glance at a women he could only explain was love at first sight. It was brief but his curiosity would soon blossom into going back the next day with a bouquet of roses in hand. Eventually finding the woman, Noelle, offering the roses, she declined. He had never been declined before. This only intrigued him more as he pried to learn more about him and she'd label him annoying. In the coming weeks, Gareth would come to the hospital every single day with a new bouquet, and every single time he'd be declined. Until one day, she questioned why he was so persistent when he only knew her name. Only labeling her by her beauty, the woman then gestured to the expensive bouquets before calling him vein. It was after her words did Gareth actually look around her room that he had been to a multitude of times did he actually notice everything. The tubes, iv bags, nurses that came in and out. Noelle was deathly ill with some unknown disease. Trying to use his powers to help, he found that he couldn't. She was apart of his future somehow.
In the later years to come, the two would get into a relationship, and Noelle's sickness seemed to get better enough to the point she could leave the hospital for the first time in all of her life. Gareth insisted he use his money to help her with medical fees and research but her answer would always be the same. "I didn't have money before so what gives me the right to now? Because a pretty boy was smitten with me?" She refused to take any sort of wealth, all the way to her death bed.
Not even a few months later her sickness got worse again and quickly Gareth tied the knot, proposing and having the marriage papers in hand. They did get married. However, the very next week she, unfortunately, passed away. Since then, his parents stated he was a different man, like the light had fizzled out of him. Gareth took his father's business more seriously, he hosted fundraisers and charity events. He stopped visiting the hospital after that day and has never been back since)
↢Hobbies↣
Frowning some, the male went quiet for a moment as he went back to fumbling with his ring"Ah, well...I enjoy baking, gardening, biking, and dancing. And before you get any odd ideas, Half of those I didn't have a choice in getting into" Gareth stated with a quiet laugh, "Somehow I ended up liking it though"
↢Powers↣
"I can tell the future of anyone I touch and look into the eyes of. It's...not all it's cracked up to be, I hate it" The male admitted flatly with a grimace
(As Gareth grows his ability to see into the present fades and his vision to see ahead becomes stronger. The first time it happened , it was much less of a vision and more of gut instinct. The older he's become, the better he's been able to control the exact time he wants to see ahead, two minutes versus two years.
To try and force a vision he has to touch the person and look them in the eye. He still isn't at the peak of vivid visions but he's growing closer to be able to do it. Gareth can spot certain things or peoples that change the event of that singular person. If someone wanted to know if they would become rich. Gareth could try to see a few years into the future. He'd probably find the look of a check, or a robbed house. Things not directly linked to the question, but somehow relating to it.
When his visions aren't forced, they're often dreams or even randomly happen in the middle of the day. Much more vivid, It's like he's an eye in the sky for whatever the vision is trying to tell him. He can never try to choose what it does though.
To most, the reason for this unnatural ability is unknown. The true origin of his powers lies in his ancestral blood on his mother's side. Far back into pilgrim times, Gareth's great(x5) grandmother, a physic witch, placed a seal on her powers to conceal it from seeing eyes. In doing this though, it appears as if the old practice was lost after many generations, resulting in a lost secret. That is, until Gareth was born. The ability to see into the future is only his surface powers daring to show, if he truly took the time to explore and hone his skills, he'd find much more at his disposal.
Bearing an odd eye-like birthmark on the back of his neck, at first glance it's nothing too far fetched. That is, until he's gotten older and the mark has turned into something more of a tattoo look to it. Other than fortune telling, Gareth also has the ability to hypnotize people. Only if, they're wearing something he's touched within an hour. Afterwards, this influence runs off after then and he can't have someone do something that would harm themselves. He can only accomplish this power when he uses an assertive voice, and doesn't even know this power exist.
Finally, another unknown power is spacial telekinesis. Since he has no true control or hone of the ability, it only occurs when he's at emotional peak. Doing so drains large amounts of energy and it's only happened a few times in his life. Every time, he's passed out which is why he has no idea he can accomplish this. The range of this power is about the size of a ballroom, and he is the focal point of it so the nearer it Is to him, the stronger it is. It takes even more amounts of energy to lift something heavier than he could physically and, there have been instances where he's been asleep for a few days straight due to this ability)
↢Weakness↣
"I...don't know how much longer I'll be able to see...I guess that's what sight dogs are for though, right? Plus, a lot of people want me dead or to kidnap me...I practically have to be with a bodyguard twenty-four seven" Gareth explained before sighing, "My mother wouldn't have it any other way"
(Forcing himself to see the vision of others puts a strain on Gareth's current sight. It quickens the speed of his blindness but in return, strengthens his visions.
When he uses his power, he has to want to answer a certain question. It has to be prompted.
During the reading, it puts Gareth in a vulnerable position, his senses get dulled and he can't snap out of it until the vision is completed. Whenever he tries to ask more than one question, or when he simply isn't focused, his mind goes into overload almost causing seizure-like effects.
Lastly, Gareth can't tell the future of himself or anything related to his own future. If he were to get hired at a job and wanted to see if his boss would give him a raise, he wouldn't be able to. However, if his friend wanted to know if they would find a date at a party, that, Gareth could do. In other words, the power is for selfless reasons.)
↢Dream Job↣
"I'd like to open up a bakery with a small locally grown garden. But...as you can imagine, my family isn't too keen on the idea. The only way I'd ever pull it off is if I worked for the money myself" The male explained, once again toying with his ring as he rolled his eyes
↢Occupations↣
"I'm the next in line to be the CEO of my father's brewery business. He's training me but...as you can imagine, my passion isn't his passion. I just...wish that he would understand that" Gareth explained, his gaze softening a bit.
◊Extra information◊
↢Pets↣
"A standard poodle named, Charlie. That...also wasn't my idea. But, I can't imagine a world without him" the male laughed while smiling
↢Family↣
"I thought you would have left that question out assuming you know who I am. Ian Jones and Vivian Wells. It's as simple as that, just look them up"
(His father is an unapologetic cheater who inherited the family business from his own father and so forth. Gareth's mother divorced a few years back, both parents keeping in frequent contact with their son after they gave him his own place for his 18th birthday.)
↢Quotes↣
"The best way to a woman's heart is through a good cupcake with fluffy frosting"
"The reason we're alive in the first place is to make the best out of our situation. Isn't that enough reason to smile?"
"My entire life I've been fed with a silver platter. For once in my life, I got to experience what life what like to eat off of the floor, and...it puts things into a new light for me. God, I guess I'm an asshole after all"
