Name: Katsuo Karlock
Nicknames: Kat, Cat
Age: 16
Birthday: March 30
Grade: 10th Grade
Power: Size shifting- He can make himself bigger and smaller. That's pretty much all there's too it. However, like every other power, his ability doesn't reach the full expectation. Because of his claustrophobia, he can only grow bigger in open spaces, limiting when and where he can he grow. However, when he is enclosed in small areas, he tends to forget he make himself smaller as he panics, so he tends not to use that part of his powers.
&
Psychometry- Katsuo can see into the past of others through the items of others, but only if the item is very important to the possessor. This item also must have been present at the time of the memory. He often faints once he touches the item, but the memories then flash in his head (with quite good special effects, may I add) like a dream. When he wakes up, he may remember some part of the flashes, but most of it will be lost in his subconscious, leaving him to wonder what the missing pieces of the memory are.

Appearance: Katsuo is a healthy young man, hardly ever getting sick. However, he isn't the type to fight, as he lacks any physical strong point. He's not built for strength, considering his lack of muscles, but he makes up for that with his speed and his agility, which compliment his long legs.
In my opinion, Katsuo is quite the looker. His hair is a raven black, reaching to his head. Even though he combs his hair thoroughly, it looks like he had bed-head, as his hair gives him quite a rough time when combing. Katsuo has deep green eyes, which are known for it's 'doe-like' appearance, and they are easy to get lost in. His nose is quite small in size, and he has a hard time smelling anything. He doesn't have much lips, but who needs them, am I right?
He's of average height, standing in about 5'9, but most of his height comes from his long, slim legs. These legs don't have much muscle on them, but the help him with his agility and speed. He's quite the runner. His chest is the part of his body that has the most muscle, even if it isn't as bug as other guys. Katsao has abs, small abs, but they're still abs.
Katsuo is quite the optimistic guy, wanting to look on the bright side of everything (unless he's stuck in a small area. In that case, he'll have a breakdown in which getting him out will be hard). I mean, if you give up, your probability of accomplishing your goal will diminish. However, if you hold onto your hope, there's a chance you can succeed and move forward. This is where his determination kicks in, and let me tell you right now, he's not going to give up without a fight.
Whenever he has a goal, or when he makes a choice, he always has a reason (the stupidity of it depends), and he'll back it up with all his heart. He's passionate about every choice he makes, and will back it up, causing him to be stubborn. His stubbornness is one thing you'll remember of him, if anything. His level of stubbornness is really high, and if you are able to change his mind, well then, kudos to you. You deserve a award.
He's quite the hot-headed guy, often thinking in the moment rather then out of the moment. He usually doesn't think of how his words, nor his actions, would affect others in the future. Katsuo can be quite reckless, which defiantly doesn't help his hot-headedness.
Katsuo is quite the honest fellow, and would rarely tell a lie. But, of course, there are times when it's absolutely necessary to lie or stretch the truth. However, there is a downfall to his honesty. Not only is he honest, but he's honest-to-a-fault, and will gladly answer anything you ask me truthfully. So, if you ask him: 'Does this skirt make my butt look big?', don't be mad if he answers: 'Yes.' This trait is also a leading reason why Katsuo is oblivious to others feelings, and often doesn't pick up on the signs that others give him. Whenever he does hurt someone, (especially females, especially them) he often doesn't know what to do and freaks out.
He's quite the social fellow, and loves to hang out with his friends or other people. He doesn't care if you're shy; all he cares about is making new friends and talking to everyone he can. He has a high self-esteem, and (because of his optimism) he often looks at the good of his thoughts of actions, making him feel like a better person than he really is.

History: You could say Katsuo was an accident, 'a surprise,' and you wouldn't be wrong. That's exactly what he was. A baby born out of wedlock. He was born to dating couple, who were very young of age. His mother was 18, barely out of high school because of her late birthday, while his father was a 21-year-old party animal attending college. Yeah, not your perfect-image of a couple, isn't it? They didn't think so either.
Especially if there baby was some kind of 'miracle' when their life was far from that word. Katsuo was born premature, by a couple of weeks. However, he was the size of a normal baby, which struck them odd about their baby boy. He was healthy, thriving, a real shocker to the doctors. According to them, 'that boy wanted to make his impact on the world,' which is still true today.
His mother raised him along with his father, but it was obvious how unhappy they were. They only thing that kept them together was the want, the need, to raise him the best they could. But, alas, even Katsou wouldn't enough to keep them together forever.
His mother had left him and his father by the time he was able to eat solid food. For his mother, it came down to this: 'He doesn't need me anymore, then I can just leave.' Of course, his father was devastated by the sudden change of events, but he had no time to drop down or sulk. He had a boy to take care of.
He raised him surprisingly good, and Katsuo often got to see his mother; however, his father had never talked to his mother other than to set up a meeting date. On one of these visits, his mother had told him 'wonderful' (as she claimed) news. She was pregnant with another child; this time it was both planned and with someone she truly loved.
Of course, Katsuo didn't take to this news lightly. When the child was born, he was maddened whenever he visted, for his half-sister claimed all the attention from his mother. It really was no surprise that he didn't take a liking to her. In his child-like age, he was jealous of her grabbing his mother's attention. It made him feel like he never truly was his mother's prized son, and that she was happier with her daughter than her son.
They grew up, and Katsuo only treated his half-sister with more coldness with each passing visit. His mother was oblivious to what he felt, and she often sided with her second child. However, that only made his anger grow worse, and soon he would make her cry (the sister), not caring how she felt.
Looking back at it now, he's awfully ashamed of his actions towards her.
But during 6th grade, his whole life changed. His powers were then discovered by accident, and his father freaked out. He couldn't have his only reality stripped away from him, and in order to preserve it, he then locked his son in the basement once he graduated 6th grade.
It wasn't a big basement, but it wasn't as small as a closet. Yet, it was enough for Katsuo to be tempted to break out several occasions, as he started developing a fear of the small, confined space that kept him from freedom. Don't get me wrong, his father used every chance he could to give him food and water, so it wasn't as though he was neglected. He just needed some desperately needed space, but was refused the request.
They were bound to find him someday, and when they did, his father didn't go down without a fight. In the end, his father didn't die, but he wasn't a match for the government officials either. Katsuo was then taken away, staying in the school ever since the 7th grade.
And let me tell you, he can't wait to escape this prison.

RP Sample: What's it been? A couple of days since the weekend? In reality, the weekend had been yesterday, but that didn't stop Katsuo for wishing for the weekend to come. That's all he could think of at the moment. But with the weekend came staying indoors for him, meaning that he had to stay in his room, locked up. To tell the truth, he couldn't tell whether school or his room was more vicious. The confined spaces or the tedious, boring tasks that school pushed upon him. It really wasn't fair to choose.
He wasn't going to choose either; he would just have to deal with both of it. He sighed, running his fingers to his messy, jet-black hair. It would all get better when he left this place; he was sure of it. That thought alone seemed to echo in his mind, causing a small, but warm, smile on his face that would last the whole day.
