Personality-
Pacy has gone through a complete transformation in his life. Gone is the hardworking, socially awkward, inquisitive nerd, that he started off as before he first came to America. Gone is the assertive, authoritative, vengeful, stubborn Company Director. He still has those parts to himself, but he also has new personality traits which have joined them.

Pacy is now self sufficient. He is able to look after himself; he is no longer the only child who had things done for him by his father, or by other lower members of the Company. He is now able to do things for himself. He needed to learn these things. To survive.

Pacy has also become very paranoid, always looking over his shoulder. This was born out of necessity. He is always covering his tracks, making sure that nothing can be traced back to him, whether it be making sure his IP address can’t be tracked, or even if it means covering his tracks when walking through dirt. This again goes back to his need to survive.

Pacy is also very smart, whether that be book smart of street smart. This is due to his powers, but also due to his inquisitive nature. He is always thinking ahead. He always has a contingency plan. He is rarely caught out or surprised, this is due to his paranoia and also to his survival instinct.

These traits are all due to really one. Survival instinct. Pacy wants to survive, no matter what. He only wants to die on his own terms, not on someone else's.

Abilities/Powers/Skills-
Photographic Memory – Pacy has a photographic memory, this means that his head is always taking things in. His memory is like a camera, hence the word photographic. Pacy can remember things that he sees and hears. His brain is always recording things, his eyes are like a camera and his ears are like a tape recorder, recording things that are said. The photographic memory also helps him with simple things like reading, he can basically skim a book and remember it, so reading is much faster, this also works with a computer, and he can type really fast.

Photographic Reflexes – This is linked into his Photographic memory. Basically anything that he watches over and over he will be able to do. For example if he watches someone skateboard over and over again, whether it be on television on actually in front of him, he will be able to skateboard like the person he watched. But if that person does the technique wrong then Pacy will also inherit that when doing the skill. He also by listening to people talk, he can 'pick up' accents quickly, and if the voice range is in the same range as he then he can pretty much copy someone’s voice.

This works on the theory that practice makes perfect, but Pacy doesn’t need to practice, by watching it over and over again, he commits it to memory and his body thinks that he has practiced it. Photographic Reflexes is based on the actual theory of eidetic kinesthesia. Which is the ability to instantly mimic any physical skill or fighting style.

eidetic: Of, relating to, or marked by extraordinarily detailed and vivid recall of visual images.

kinesthesia: The sense that detects bodily position, weight, or movement of the muscles, tendons, and joints.

Limits-

Photographic Memory Limits - Basically everything he sees he remembers, this is a great strain on his brain, and sometimes his brain cannot handle all the information, so he suffers from severe migraines from time to time. To combat this Pacy has developed his own form of pill, which he takes whenever the pain is too bearable

Photographic Reflexes Limits - If watching the same technique over and over, if the person he is watching is doing the technique wrong then Pacy will pick up the way in which it is wrong as well, and cannot be rectified until he sees it being done right e.g. if watching an amateur skateboarder doing a kick flip over and over and the kid is doing it wrong, Pacy will pick this up, but if after he watches Tony Hawk (via TV) doing a kick flip over and over, Pacy will pick up the new kick flip thus 'over-riding' the previous one.

Just because he sees it doesn’t necessarily mean that he can do it, it depends on his body structure, for example, if he watches a marathon runner over and over again, it doesn’t mean that he can run a marathon, it depends on how much his body is built up as well, so technically he could run like a marathon runner, if he was in shape.

Acquired Photographic Reflexes Skills

- Skateboarding/BMXing
- Parkouring
- Professional Wrestling
- Numerous Fighting Styles

Appearance-
Pacy has grown into his body, when he first left home, he was merely skin and bones. He started to work out bit by bit when he first arrived, adding a bit of definition to his body, not overly muscly, but enough to show some definition on his arms and the like. His hair is still the same, messed up and all over the place, and his face still has the little beard that he has had most of his life.

He now has a multitude of scars from an incident with Jaina Cassidy. He has lost two teeth, his nose is a little out of line now, one of his fingers will not bend all the way because they was broken, he has a circular scar on his upper thigh and a scar under his neck. Pacy could of had them taken away by a healer, but preferred to keep them to remind himself of where he has come. Added to this are numerous little scars all over his body, where he had removed bullets or patched up knife wounds.

Faction- Neutral
Birthplace- London England
Mother- Patricia (nee Jackson) McNeil, 41 Years old, deceased. (Impenetrable skin)
Father- Casey McNeil, 46 Years old, living in Essex, London. (Civilian)
Siblings- None
Spouse / Partner- None
Children- None

History-

Pacy lived a humble life with his parents in Essex in England. Nothing much really happened to him, he was just your normal child, living with his working class family in their normal semi detached house.

Pacy watched a Eclipse when he was Seven. January Seventh. It was a day that changed his life. Pacy was interested in the way things worked, e.g. television, computers etc, and his parents would come home to fine all sorts of things on the floor, which Pacy had taken apart. But Pacy could also put them back together again and the thing would be in prefect working order. Pacy also discovered that he had a knack for remembering things perfectly crystal clear. This is when his thirst for knowledge became great. He would read books all the time and remember them clear as day.

This worried his father a bit, the father and his father took him to the doctors, who referred him to other doctors who referred them to other doctors and eventually after a series of experiments (memory tests etc, nothing sinister), it was discovered that Pacy had a photographic memory.

When Pacy was 13, his mother died from a heart attack. He will never forget his mother lying in the hospital bed, (not just because of his memory). This turn of events changed his father. His father threw himself into his work. His father was a mechanic, Pacy decided that because he would not see his father as much being at school all the time and his father working late, that Pacy would help his father every waking moment, leaving himself enough time to study, even though he had a photographic memory he wanted to learn things, make his own ideas on things that he was learning. So Pacy started to work in his father garage every day after school. Pacy soon picked up the trade easily, and thanks to his son and his memory, the business thrived. His father was glad of the help, but deep down his father wanted to keep his son close anyway, Pacy was a memory of his mother to his father, something he wanted to keep under wraps. Pacy did good in his GCSE’s, while he did good at the academic subjects like math’s and the sciences, the creative subjects like drama, English and design he didn’t do too well at, this could be to do with his photographic memory and not being very creative, he could recite Shakespeare's sonnets word for word, but that didn't make him a great actor, don’t you know!

Pacy’s father wasn’t big on emotion, he was an old fashioned man and believed that the MAN was the bread winner and the WOMAN was the emotion anchor for the child. So without the mother there, Pacy’s dad didn’t know how to talk to his son, to communicate. So Pacy’s father did the only thing he knew, they bonded, over films, every weekend they would watch many different films, by making him watch the films Pacy’s father would use the themes and the emotions to talk to his son. Father and son became film buffs and Pacy loved the films that his father made him watch. Whenever Pacy wasn't working on school work or working with his father, Pacy would normally be in front of the TV, watching something of some kind, seeing as his father was always working and he had no mother, the TV became kind of a babysitter for him.

Pacy loved the films and film making and decided that he wanted a job in media. He liked the way that films and TV could touch people in many different ways. So for one of his A level’s Pacy chose Media Studies. Pacy seemed to have a flair for film making and taking photos. This was one of the only creative things that Pacy could do. He make mini documentaries on his father and even made a short film set in the garage, the film was used as a example of his work and was shown to a University in New York, where Pacy wanted to go, to follow in his favorite directors footsteps. The University offered Pacy an unconditional offer to go and study there after his A Levels.

By 18, the business was the best in Essex and all the surrounding counties, thanks to Pacy. Pacy deciding that his father was well off enough for him to leave, Pacy decided to go and study away from home. He got high marks in his tests and was accepted to a University in New York, doing Media, it was a tough decision, while Pacy didn’t want to leave his father, and he wanted to get out from under his wing. He wanted to see the world, and even though he knew that he would miss his father, he knew that he would kick himself for giving up the chance. Pacy was moving to another country, being away from his father would be difficult because he was the only family he had, but also it was time that Pacy became his own man.

The rest is found here

When we left Pacy he was flung into the future. He has been there for thirteen years, surviving.

Sample RP-

It was like any other day. I was seven. I got up and did my normal routine. Went to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, ate a bit of the toothpaste which was minty fresh. Went downstairs and had a bowl of cereal with my folks. It was a big day. My first eclipse. I had been taught in school to look at it through a viewfinder, so not to damage my eyes. So for extra security I had build an extra big one, so I could see the eclipse in its full glory.

Outside I went with my folks and we sat outside, talking the breeze, waiting for it to happen. The viewfinder was next to me, and I was just talking to my folks about my day at school the previous day, when I looked over, and it had started. The Eclipse. I watched it through the viewfinder, my father hugging my mother with one arm, watching me. It was a good day.

Something weird happened that day. I started to not forget things. I remembered everything from that day on, and I mean everything. What I was taught in lessons, what people wore, what my mother made for dinner the week after. Everything stayed in my head, and I could recall it quickly.

I eventually told me folks and my pops was worried. He took me to a doctor, who then refered me to another doctor. Who then did tests on me, memory tests, the tests were unforgiving and happened day in and out for the next week. It was hard being away from my parents all that time, but they were worried, so I didn’t begrudge them.

Eventually they found out I had a photographic memory, which my father was pleased about. He wanted me to go onto big and great things in the future, maybe even be prime minister. My mother wasn’t so pleased, she never told me why.

From that day on, I could tell I was different from all the other kids, and they knew it as well. They teased me, called me a geek. It was tough times. Hard to be the outsider.

Personality-
Pacy is some what of a loner. He hasn’t had much contact with people in the past couple of years, because it’s just been him and his dad. But before then he was quite a recluse, he’s just happy taking things apart and seeing how they work. Pacy generally has quite a self low esteem problem when it social situations. Pacy find it’s hard to be in social situations where he doesn’t know anyone, but once he becomes friends with someone he wears his heart on his sleeve with them, it’s just actually him talking to someone which is the hard part. Pacy has a sense of loyalty to his friends. He also is very humble, he doesn’t go round telling everyone that he knows everything in the world, which he technically could, but he prefers to let others take the spotlight.

Pacy is not a very sociable person, he has lead a quiet life, he has only really had contact with his dad for the last couple of years, and out of touch with the youth of today. He would be seen as a geek by the rest of the people his age. But what he lacks in social qualities he makes up for in his hard work. He works hard, something he learnt from working as a mechanic with his father. Going to the University is a big step for him, as it will be the first time he has left his fathers side in a long time

Pacy also has quite an inquisitive nature and likes to find out how things work. This stems from working in the garage, but happened when he was younger as well. Pacy likes to take thing apart and improve them some how. He does this by reading up on technological advances and trying them out on normal run of the mill things. In other words he likes to make gadgets.

Can be seen as a walking popular culture fanatic, seeing as he has hardly any social skills, due to sheltered life, and watching loads of films and TV, he seems to just reference loads of lines from films and TV that most of the time go over peoples heads

In the past year, Pacy had had a lot happen to him, which has made him a lot less like he previously was. He now is fully committed to the Company's goals, and he also will do anything to get the job done. Pacy also has worked on his social skills, and can now talk to people as and when he wants; he is also a lot more authoritative.

Pacy finds it hard to let people in. He doesn’t like to get to know people because everyone he has let in over the past year has died or been injured in some way. He prefers to keep things on a strictly business level.

Pacy has got a lot better at controlling the mental aspect of his power, and can now talk without ‘umming’ and ‘ahhing’ as much as he used to.

The photographic memory also helps him with simple things like reading, he can basically skim a book and remember it, so reading is much faster, this also works with a computer, and he can type really fast.

Photographic Reflexes – This is linked into his Photographic memory. He doesn’t know it yet but he also possesses the technique of photographic reflexes. Basically anything that he watches over and over he will be able to do. For example if he watches someone skateboard over and over again, whether it be on television on actually in front of him, he will be able to skateboard like the person he watched. But if that person does the technique wrong then Pacy will also inherit that when doing the skill.

eidetic: Of, relating to, or marked by extraordinarily detailed and vivid recall of visual images.

kinesthesia: The sense that detects bodily position, weight, or movement of the muscles, tendons, and joints.

Pacy has since found out about his photographic reflexes, but only uses it for fighting, the rest he has still yet to discover. He is still in the process about learning about the photographic reflexes part of his power.

Limits-
Photographic Memory Limits - Basically everything he sees he remembers, this is a great strain on his brain, and sometimes his brain cannot handle all the information, so he suffers from severe migraines from time to time, but this has not started happening yet, probably because of his sheltered background, moving to University should be a strain on his mind, seeing as he has to learn new things, such as streets and routes etc.

Pacy may be able to remember things, this gives him a certain high academic quality, but this gives him a lack of creativity. Pacy can quote literature no end but rarely can have original thoughts, his arguments tend to be regurgitated things from books he read, or arguments that other people have said.

His photographic memory makes him a little bit autistic. He cant relate to people normally. He usually relates to people like they were characters in films. If he has to speak to someone, it is hard for him not to quote films or give facts and figures of films. So he ends up mumbling his way through speeches, umming and ahhing a lot.

Photographic Reflexes Limits - If watching the same technique over and over, if the person he is watching is doing the technique wrong then Pacy will pick up the way in which it is wrong as well, and cannot be rectified until he sees it being done right e.g. if watching an amateur skateboarder doing a kick flip over and over and the kid is doing it wrong, Pacy will pick this up, but if after he watches Tony Hawk (via TV) doing a kick flip over and over, Pacy will pick up the new kick flip thus 'over-riding' the previous one.

Appearance-
Pacy is by no means big and bulging with muscles everywhere. He’s just your normal teenager. He’s not skinny but he’s not fat, he’s got little definition in the way of muscles. He is tanned, his hair is in a side parting he is in the process of growing it, and is kinda ‘jeri-curly', but in a haphazard way. He also has a ‘bum fluff’ style goatee from his sideburns but he shaved his upper lip. Pacy is not a dedicated follower of fashion, and tends to make his own t-shirts, he believes that he is making fashion statements with the t-shirts, he also makes badges which you will find at least one on every article of clothing he has.

In the past year, Pacy has been working out more and more to try and get himself in better shape, and also to help him protect himself. He now has a multitde of scars from an incident. He has lost two teeth, his nose is a little out of line now, one of his fingers will not bend all the way because it was broken, he has a circular scar on his upper thigh and a scar under his neck. Pacy could of had them taken away by a healer, but prefered to keep them to remind himself of where he has come.

Anything else?-
Zodiac Sign: Aquarius
Chinese Zodiac Sign: Monkey/Yang Metal

Pacy's most prized possession are his skateboard, BMX, Restored VW Camper Van, Pedal Scooter, Camcorder, Digital SLR, and laptop. This is because the first four are his modes of transport, and the others are his way of being able to eventually make films. He also has an allergy to cats.

Pacy still has these things, but they are currently in storeage. They have a layer of dust on them they havent been used in so long.

POWERS:

Photographic Memory – Pacy has a photographic memory, this means that his head is always taking things in. His memory is like a camera, hence the word photographic. Pacy can remember things that he sees and hears. His brain is always recording things, his eyes are like a camera and his ears are like a tape recorder, recording things that are said. The photographic memory also helps him with simple things like reading, he can basically skim a book and remember it, so reading is much faster, this also works with a computer, and he can type really fast.

Photographic Reflexes – This is linked into his Photographic memory. He doesn’t know it yet but he also possesses the technique of photographic reflexes. Basically anything that he watches over and over he will be able to do. For example if he watches someone skateboard over and over again, whether it be on television on actually in front of him, he will be able to skateboard like the person he watched. But if that person does the technique wrong then Pacy will also inherit that when doing the skill. He also by listening to people talk, he can 'pick up' accents quickly, and if the voice range is in the same range as he then he can pretty much copy someone’s voice.

This works on the theory that practice makes perfect, but Pacy doesn’t need to practice, by watching it over and over again, he commits it to memory and his body thinks that he has practiced it. Photographic Reflexes is based on the actual theory of eidetic kinesthesia. Which is the ability to instantly mimic any physical skill or fighting style.

eidetic: Of, relating to, or marked by extraordinarily detailed and vivid recall of visual images.

kinesthesia: The sense that detects bodily position, weight, or movement of the muscles, tendons, and joints.

POWER LIMITS

Photographic Memory Limits - Basically everything he sees he remembers, this is a great strain on his brain, and sometimes his brain cannot handle all the information, so he suffers from severe migraines from time to time, but this has not started happening yet, probably because of his sheltered background, moving to University should be a strain on his mind, seeing as he has to learn new things, such as streets and routes etc.

Pacy may be able to remember things, this gives him a certain high academic quality, but this gives him a lack of creativity. Pacy can quote literature no end but rarely can have original thoughts, his arguments tend to be regurgitated things from books he read, or arguments that other people have said.

His photographic memory makes him a little bit autistic. He can’t relate to people normally. He usually relates to people like they were characters in films. If he has to speak to someone, it is hard for him not to quote films or give facts and figures of films. So he ends up mumbling his way through speeches, umming and ahhing a lot.

Photographic Reflexes Limits - If watching the same technique over and over, if the person he is watching is doing the technique wrong then Pacy will pick up the way in which it is wrong as well, and cannot be rectified until he sees it being done right e.g. if watching an amateur skateboarder doing a kick flip over and over and the kid is doing it wrong, Pacy will pick this up, but if after he watches Tony Hawk (via TV) doing a kick flip over and over, Pacy will pick up the new kick flip thus 'over-riding' the previous one.

Just because he sees it doesn’t necessarily mean that he can do it, it depends on his body structure, for example, if he watches a marathon runner over and over again, it doesn’t mean that he can run a marathon, it depends on how much his body is built up as well, so technically he could run like a marathon runner, if he was in shape.

MENTAL PROFILE:

Personality: Pacy is some what of a loner. He hasn’t had much contact with people in the past couple of years, because it’s just been him and his dad. But before then he was quite a recluse, he’s just happy taking things apart and seeing how they work. Pacy generally has quite a self low esteem problem when it social situations. Pacy find it’s hard to be in social situations where he doesn’t know anyone, but once he becomes friends with someone he wears his heart on his sleeve with them, it’s just actually him talking to someone which is the hard part. Pacy has a sense of loyalty to his friends. He also is very humble, he doesn’t go round telling everyone that he knows everything in the world, which he technically could, but he prefers to let others take the spotlight.

Pacy is not a very sociable person, he has lead a quiet life, he has only really had contact with his dad for the last couple of years, and out of touch with the youth of today. He would be seen as a geek by the rest of the people his age. But what he lacks in social qualities he makes up for in his hard work. He works hard, something he learnt from working as a mechanic with his father. Going to the University is a big step for him, as it will be the first time he has left his fathers side in a long time

Pacy also has quite an inquisitive nature and likes to find out how things work. This stems from working in the garage, but happened when he was younger as well. Pacy likes to take thing apart and improve them some how. He does this by reading up on technological advances and trying them out on normal run of the mill things. In other words he likes to make gadgets.

Can be seen as a walking popular culture fanatic, seeing as he has hardly any social skills, due to sheltered life, and watching loads of films and TV, he seems to just reference loads of lines from films and TV that most of the time go over peoples heads

Likes: Pacy is a popular culture fanatic, because of this his main likes are forms of popular culture. These include films, television and comics. He also like to read as much as he can, take photographs (to have a physical memory that he can touch) and writing his own stories come screenplays, most of them unfinished.

Dislikes: Pacy is somewhat of an outsider, so most of his dislikes are to do with meeting people, this includes talking to people as well as talking about himself. He doesn’t like large crowds of people because he feels out of place. Pacy also has his own way of doing things, and doesn’t like it when people do things the ‘wrong way’ i.e. not his way.

Strengths: Pacy’s ability means that he is very knowledgeable, not just in popular culture, but in most things, if he’s read about it, he remembers it. He is also good at skateboarding and other forms of transport that aren’t cars, such as rollerblading. He has an inquisitive nature, he always wants to work out how things work, and he can often be found taking something apart and putting it back together again.

Weaknesses: Pacy’s main weakness is his general lack of confidence in himself. Even with his ability he think it isn’t ‘cool’. He is generally pessimistic and quite self deprecating. He also has a general lack of social skills, from bullying and shying away from people, having only real contact with his father. Also because of this, he views the world through innocent eyes.

BACKGROUND PROFILE:

History:
Pacy lived a humble life with his parents in Essex in England. Nothing much really happened to him, he was just your normal child, living with his working class family in their normal semi detached house.

Pacy watched a Eclipse when he was Seven. January Seventh. It was a day that changed his life. Pacy was interested in the way things worked, e.g. television, computers etc, and his parents would come home to fine all sorts of things on the floor, which Pacy had taken apart. But Pacy could also put them back together again and the thing would be in prefect working order. Pacy also discovered that he had a knack for remembering things perfectly crystal clear. This is when his thirst for knowledge became great. He would read books all the time and remember them clear as day.

This worried his father a bit, the father and his father took him to the doctors, who referred him to other doctors who referred them to other doctors and eventually after a series of experiments (memory tests etc, nothing sinister), it was discovered that Pacy had a photographic memory.

When Pacy was 13, his mother died from a heart attack. He will never forget his mother lying in the hospital bed, (not just because of his memory). This turn of events changed his father. His father threw himself into his work. His father was a mechanic, Pacy decided that because he would not see his father as much being at school all the time and his father working late, that Pacy would help his father every waking moment, leaving himself enough time to study, even though he had a photographic memory he wanted to learn things, make his own ideas on things that he was learning. So Pacy started to work in his father garage every day after school. Pacy soon picked up the trade easily, and thanks to his son and his memory, the business thrived. His father was glad of the help, but deep down his father wanted to keep his son close anyway, Pacy was a memory of his mother to his father, something he wanted to keep under wraps. Pacy did good in his GCSE’s, while he did good at the academic subjects like math’s and the sciences, the creative subjects like drama, English and design he didn’t do too well at, this could be to do with his photographic memory and not being very creative, he could recite Shakespeare's sonnets word for word, but that didn't make him a great actor, don’t you know!

Pacy’s father wasn’t big on emotion, he was an old fashioned man and believed that the MAN was the bread winner and the WOMAN was the emotion anchor for the child. So without the mother there, Pacy’s dad didn’t know how to talk to his son, to communicate. So Pacy’s father did the only thing he knew, they bonded, over films, every weekend they would watch many different films, by making him watch the films Pacy’s father would use the themes and the emotions to talk to his son. Father and son became film buffs and Pacy loved the films that his father made him watch. Whenever Pacy wasn't working on school work or working with his father, Pacy would normally be in front of the TV, watching something of some kind, seeing as his father was always working and he had no mother, the TV became kind of a babysitter for him.

Pacy loved the films and film making and decided that he wanted a job in media. He liked the way that films and TV could touch people in many different ways. So for one of his A level’s Pacy chose Media Studies. Pacy seemed to have a flair for film making and taking photos. This was one of the only creative things that Pacy could do. He make mini documentaries on his father and even made a short film set in the garage, the film was used as a example of his work and was shown to a University in New York, where Pacy wanted to go, to follow in his favorite directors footsteps. The University offered Pacy an unconditional offer to go and study there after his A Levels.

By 18, the business was the best in Essex and all the surrounding counties, thanks to Pacy. Pacy deciding that his father was well off enough for him to leave, Pacy decided to go and study away from home. He got high marks in his tests and was accepted to a University in New York, doing Media, it was a tough decision, while Pacy didn’t want to leave his father, and he wanted to get out from under his wing. He wanted to see the world, and even though he knew that he would miss his father, he knew that he would kick himself for giving up the chance. Pacy was moving to another country, being away from his father would be difficult because he was the only family he had, but also it was time that Pacy became his own man.
