Full name: Quinton Song
Age: 15
Appearance: Quinton has a very pale skin-complex as he – due to his power – has been sitting inside his house for the most part of his life. This skin tone, as well as the fact that his face is nearly spotless in terms of acne causes him to be jokingly referred to as "Snow White" by his father; something that he thinks is embarrassing beyond belief. Not helping him avoid the "Snow White" comparison is his rounded – but still slim – face. He has long black hair that falls gently over his shoulders and he usually has it up in a ponytail. Strangely enough, it has a slight lustrous shine to it in sunlight. People claim that he must be using some kind of hair gel, but Quinton insists the opposite. He also has clear-blue eyes that seem to always have a glint of mischievousness in them. His nose is rather small and a bit crooked, making it VAGUELY resemble the beak of an eagle. Both his eyebrows and lips are rather thin.

As for his body, Quinton isn't exactly known for his great athletic skills or tall build, he is a pretty average 5'6". Rather, people will most likely look at him and go "Damn son, you need to put on some weight, mm-hmm". He isn't anorexic by any means, but he is very skinny in that way that you're kinda afraid to hurt him because he might snap like a twig. Now, he might not be the most versatile guy ever, but… oh who am I kidding? He is kind of a pushover.

As for clothes, Quinton likes what is comfortable for him to wear; he isn't interested in fashion and could honestly not care any less about it. Thus, his usual attire consists of a loose-fitting, light-blue collared shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows and the two top buttons usually unbuttoned. As for his lower body, a pair of soft, baggy jeans is usually what he uses to cover up his legs with. When it comes to shoes, Quinton just sticks with some black sneakers, ain't nothin' too fancy. He also carries around a slightly-smaller-than-average black briefcase containing three medium-sized water bottle filled with a mixture of his saliva and water. This is in case things get out of hand and he would require to use a lot of fluid to control something.​

History: Quinton Song was born and grew up in a small village hardly worth remembering the name of on the countryside. As a child, he would do what most children do, run around; poke at things with sticks, play pretend, all of the good stuff that comes with being a little kid. As he became 8, Quinton picked up another interest, which was sculpting. Usually he would do this with modeling clay, making small figurines to play with and/or to put on his shelves. On day, he made a small figurine out of a piece of his green modeling clay with four limbs, a head and a body, nothing else. As he had held it in his hands, he had thought about how cool it would be if the figurine moved. He thought about the idea so hard that… the little green man started to move, all by himself.

Quinton was astounded and excited at this discovery, his parents, not much so. They took him to see a doctor to find out what was wrong with their son. After running several tests, the doctor deduced that Quinton was able to control objects by touching them, but that it was much more complicated than that. The doctor suggested that they keep Quinton from interacting too much with other living beings until they could confirm if he would be able to control them as well, or not. So, young mister Song was pulled out from school and instead began to get homeschooled. Quinton didn't really mind getting homeschooled since he was pretty shy and thus hadn't gotten to know many people in his class.

So, Quinton continued to lead a very uneventful and a bit sheltered life for the remainder of his life until he turned 15. It was then that a letter suddenly had found its way into their mailbox. This was a letter describing a school where Quinton would be able to meet and have classes with people who also possessed strange powers. People like him. His parents were at first understandably skeptical, how would their child who hadn't been further outside the house than their garden in 7 years take care of himself in a school full of other people with similar or even more dangerous powers? So after a while of discussing the subject, Quinton's parents allowed him to go.

Ability name: Infection
Explanation: This ability allows Quinton to "infect" objects by making a part of his body that contains his genetic makeup make contact with it. If an object is "infected" this way, Quinton will be able to control it as if it was an extension of his own body. This is something that requires a lot of concentration on his part as controlling something that isn't directly attached to you can prove to be quite difficult.

Limitations: Quinton is unable to infect any form of living being to do his bidding as antibodies kill off his "infectors" with ease; the only options are inanimate objects. Since antibodies kill off his "infectors", antibiotics will also make him lose the connection between himself and an object. As controlling an object requires a lot of focus and concentration, Quinton can only control an object during a set amount of time. If Quinton leaves his "infectors" idle for a while, they will vanish. This also heavily depends on the size of the object as well as what part Quinton used to infect it with. If he were to infect something huge with only some of his skin-cells, he wouldn't be able to move it in any way. This means that if Quinton wants to control something big in size, he has to use some kind of bodily fluid. Saliva generally works pretty well for him as a thing to use, but for the best effect he would have to use his blood or even cerebral fluid.

However, he cannot bend an object in a way that it cannot naturally bend. For example, he wouldn't be able to make a lamp bow before you as it would probably snap in half; he can hypothetically only control its cord without breaking it. Neither can he control an object's functions if it's not under the right circumstances. Let's take the lamp again; he cannot flick the light on or off unless it is plugged into an electrical socket. However, he would hypothetically be able to control a car without any fuel by moving its four wheels manually, while it would be easier to move it if it had fuel in it. If an object he is currently controlling would have a part of it broken off, he will be unable to move that part because controlling two at the same time would be too much for him to concentrate on.

Room Number: 5 (That's the available one, right?)​
