Basics
Name:
Viktor Jason Rogers
Nicknames:
Vik
Age:
17
Birthday:
5th of November
Grade:
11th
Power:
Sound Manipulation
- Can create and manipulate sound vibrations in the immediate vicinity.
- Make it sound like something is where it's not, for example, huge crashing behind someone. Vik occasionally does this to mess with people, although he loses interest fast due to his disability making him unable to hear people screaming in shock.
- Causing small noises like a rock hitting the ground does not require much focus at all from Vik, however, if he makes a continuous noise it gets more and more straining the more he does it, to the point where he can only hold one noise at once for maybe about a minute.
- Although it is relatively strong, Vik is VERY bad at aiming as he cannot hear where the sound goes. He can cause people to go temporarily deaf for a few seconds when he focuses very hard on one loud sound, but he first of all despises putting people through what he goes through, even for a few seconds, and second it causes him to be unable to use his sound manipulation ability for another ten seconds, and causes him to get a little more tired each time. Although it may not seem a lot, ten seconds can cause a fight to be won or lost which leads to Vik relying on his bodily strength to win him fights.

Appearance:
Vik is quite tall, being 6'2" and still working on his height. He can be relatively intimidating because of this, as he's also quite strong as he works out whenever he can spare the time. He has pale orange-y beige hair parted to a fringe, and his eyes are a dark yellow that come from his genetically modified makeup. His face is very pointed at the chin, nose, and eyebrows, which are very thin and lined carefully. Both of his lips are relatively thin, and coloured a very pale red. Vik has a few bags lining the bottom of his eyes, as he rarely gets enough sleep as he stays up studying and working all the time. He has a few scars along his scalp and neck from his car crash, and one long scar along the left side of his face from where the top of his ear meets the rest of his face to the middle of his jawline. Other scars can be found along his body from the car crash, including around his arms, legs, and abdominal area.
Vik's skin is fair, being quite tanned year round due to his outdoorsy attitude. Despite his strength, he slouches a lot unless he needs to be extremely formal. His body is very well-toned, and Vik himself is relatively proud of his agility, stamina, and altogether power in his muscles. He could've easily been an athlete of sorts if he had practiced from a younger age, due to his lean but strong body shape. He has a relatively high metabolism which leads to this, but he still only really eats healthy food if he can.
Vik's clothing selection is normally loose hoodies or tank tops that allow him to be comfortable and move around freely. He's generally not too picky about what he wears, although he normally does find himself with colourful clothes rather than dark ones. He never wears hats or anything on his face, as he doesn't wish to restrict the movement of his head in any way, shape, or form, even if it's just a beanie.
Personality
Overall Personality:
Vik is a very high-strung individual, who searches for perfection in everything he does as to not disappoint others. He works hard to appear as someone who others want to talk to, unless they manage to say one of the few things that may piss him off. These sensitive topics include anything related to music and his ability to hear. He'll snap at anyone who even owns an instrument out of simply pure anger and jealousy, as he wishes he had been able to prove himself to his parents and become a successful musician. Furthermore, if he even sees someone playing an instrument or appearing to be singing, he'll yell at them to shut up and sulk off, trying to drown out the noise of his thoughts. Despite him regretting this episodes afterwards, Vik's too scared to injure his pride so he rarely apologizes for it.
The young teenager loves to do things just to lose himself in them, and this mainly includes working out as it improves his physical abilities while he just stops thinking about everything that troubles him. He's also very outdoorsy, and enjoys spending time in the sun where he generally tries to nap or take walks. He stresses out very quickly and easily, so these outlets are necessary for him so that he can remain calm at times where it is absolutely needed, despite his energetic behaviour. He puts a lot of pressure on himself to succeed as he wants to be able to prove himself to other people, mainly his parents who he doesn't know if they love him or not. Despite their inexcusable attitude towards him after the car crash that caused Vik to lose his hearing, Vik will never say a bad thing about them even if he thinks that he is being treated unfairly.
Vik is very, very extroverted and he loves talking to people, whether it be about them, him, or a third party. Although he finds difficulty in talking to more than two people at once as he must read lips, he makes a huge effort to be with his close friends and hang out with them as much as possible. He's a bit uncomfortable with the sound of his voice, because he's not sure what people hear when he talks, but he refuses to let that get to him and stop him from talking. However, because of his disability, Vik can be relatively good at comforting people as he focuses on slight facial expression changes to be able to tell when someone is upset, and he has a general idea of what needs to be said when things are not going well. He has a strong sense of justice, so he'll do everything he can to help those that he believe are morally and ethically right. Vik is not scared to stand up for what he believes in, regardless of what may happen to him if he does.
Since losing his hearing was so devastating for him, Viktor despises any temporary loss of any of his other senses, which is mainly his sight. The darkness is very uncomfortable for him, as he can't see or hear anything that may come up to him. Furthermore, he leaves his lamp on whenever he sleeps even if it wakes him up once or twice in the night.

History:
Viktor's whole family was filled with failed musicians, all having gone nowhere with their careers despite their huge efforts. This was true, especially with Vik's mother and father, who debatably tried the hardest to become successful. Even though his father and mother had both joined a rock band of sorts, no matter how hard they tried they never got a successful gig. They weren't horrible, no, but they just weren't better than the rest and no one seemed to be interested in them. This led them to not having a lot of money to do anything, which is why they decided to have Vik a lot later than most. However, they eventually got financial funding from Vik's aunt when she died, who had quit the music industry due to the realization that she would never succeed and then became a lawyer. Because of this, Vik's family never had difficulties buying food and instruments for Viktor to play again, and it was a needed release of stress.
Being the only child to the two failed musicians, a lot of pressure was placed on Vik to perform, take classes, and always be the best at music, no matter what. They wanted to live through him, trying to force him to become successful so that he could live the dream that they always wanted to have. This led to a lot of stress for Vik, but he didn't want to disappoint his parents so he kept working at his music, getting relatively good at it at a fast pace. He did averagely well in school, as well, and his parents seemed to be very proud of him, and Vik was even proud of himself too. He thought that his future was all set, with him going to become an amazing musician widely renown.
One night, Vik was invited out to a party with one of his good friends. Vik got drunk, his friend got drunk, everyone really got drunk. What else would one expect? While messing around at the party though, Vik found out he could make sounds appear from across the room, even if he had no contact with anything on that side of the room. It made for a very cool trick at the time, and that night seemed like it would go very well. Until Vik's best friend decided that he would drive them home, as it was getting late and they had promised their parents they would be back. Plus, Vik needed to practice the guitar that night, and so he had even begged his best friend to drive him.
As you may know, drunk driving tends not to be the smartest idea, especially when the driver still was in the process of learning how to do so. It did end in a crash. No one was killed, fortunately, apart from Vik's parent's hopes and dreams. Why, one may ask? Well, in the car crash, Vik's head slammed against the windshield and he ended up with his head on the concrete, as he flew over the hood. Fortunately for him, the glass cuts were not too damaging and he only has a few permanent scars from it. However, more unfortunately, the head trauma caused the young teenager to lose all of his hearing, and caused him develop an absurd fear of driving, drinking, and anything that impairs one's logic.
After he lost his hearing, Vik's parents gave up on him. He was a failure, as he could never be a successful musician as he would no longer be able to hear the rest of the band playing. No matter how hard he tried, he could never make them happy, even though he began to excel at school again after he learned to lipread. His best friend, feeling so much guilt for causing Vik to lose his hearing, talked more with Vik about his ability to manipulate sound, and helped teach him how to use it, even though Vik couldn't hear the effects of what he was doing. When Vik's parents stumbled in one day to see what they were doing, it wasn't long before Vik was thrown out of his parent's home into Ashford Academy.
