Abilities/Powers/Skills-
Palindromic Action Inducing. With this ability David is able to make the target do their desired actions in a reversed order so that if they were planning to walk forwards they would instead walk backwards. David's abilities mentally lock into the eyes and rewire the brain from there. For his powers to work he must be able to see. When advanced enough David will be able to revert the senses and possibly functions of the human body.
Misdirection. David also has a secondary ability which mentally distorts ones sense of direction. With this David could make people get lost even in familiar surroundings. To use this ability David must touch the person and can even make more than one person get lost at a time due to how contagious the ability is.
Limits-
Palindromic Action Inducing. David must have eye contact with a subject for 2 seconds for this ability to work. Blinking makes the eye contact lost and if the user turns away then the ability is cancelled. David is a new manifest meaning he does not understand this ability. The subject's actions are only reversed for as long as they are in David's sight. If the subject subconsciously does the reverse of what they usually do then they will move normally and therefore find a way past his own ability.
Misdirection. David needs full concentration for this ability as well as skin contact. David's abilities sometimes backfire on himself and he is left confused and lost. This ability has a time span of only 3 minutes meaning he has to act fast with it. If the subject is already unfamiliar with the surroundings then his powers will make no difference to the subject
Appearance-
David is a very clean cut man meaning everything about his body is at peak condition. He likes to keep his body in top shape and he does this by exercising regularly and keep a 5'9'' stature and weighs 128lbs making him an exceptional male specimen for his age although he is very weak with his upper body
David has brown hair which is constantly messy and he doesn’t try to fix it knowing that it will be to much work on his own part. David has deep blue eyes which seem to pierce through the darkness. David has a larger than average head and a pointed chin to match this.
David usually wears white shirts with cargo pants thinking he is the only one that can pull of the look. He often wears a ring on his finger with a capital 'M' standing for 'Mediocre.' He never wears shoes or loafers no matter what he is doing and will usually always wear sneakers even if it is a big trial or someone’s wedding

History-
David was brought up in a well of part of New York and was always inspired by his parents to try his best at everything he ever did. Over the years his parents message rang in his ear time and time again. He was determined to be famous one way or another. His school life was exceptional for he wasn't the geekiest kid in school but he wasn't the most popular either.
By Junior High he realised his dream had to come true. He started taking up acting hoping he could make it as a professional actor. His dream was short lived as the drama teacher at the time called his performance mediocre. Since then that word has stuck fresh within his mind at everything he has ever done and it has edged him on through the worst of times. By High School he was often picked on by peers for his high hoped dreams. He was badly bullied and for a time this made David regret his own choices in life. During this period he bought a ring which remains with him. It has a capital 'M' on it and it reminds him of the moments his drama teacher called him mediocre.
After that he started to change his life feeling all his feelings of mediocrity were now in the ring and could never harm. His ambitious attitude forced him to try to make it Broadway but once he failed that he went back to school to study psychology knowing it was the only thing he knew how to do. Although taking a job as a forensic psychologist at the age of 24 his dream never died and he was still determined to do more with his life. He went onto American idol only to be shunned again due to the fact that the producers defined him as working to hard for achievement. Instead of coming out natural it became stressed and so was rejected once more in his life.
By the age of 30 he started to become a drunk and a very bad one at that, this was due to multiple letdowns in his own life. During this period of his life he became a delinquent and was arrested repeatedly on small charges. During a heavy drinking session during the age of 36 he saw himself in a mirror and was ashamed at what he had become. After that he started to pick up the broken pieces of his life and rearranged them to fit to his needs.
Feeling a need to let go of his excess angst he took up bass guitar and found his way into a jazz & blues band at 42. From there his life moulded and was set in stone to make him the man he is today
Since then he has practised himself to be more easy going around others and finally after years of practise developed a charismatic attitude towards life and so tried his best not to let it get him down anymore. David is now interested in how big he can become and has promised to himself that he wont let anyone torture him into defeat ever again. He sings karaoke time to time and wins contests. He has tried to get in some of the big parties with all the actors but so far he has had no luck. Today he still works as a forensic psychologist but makes his weekends singing and playing bass in central park with another man called Mortimer Towner.
Anything else?- At this time he has not discovered his abilities yet
Sample RP-
Light and day is more than they'll say David thought to himself as he made his way across the decrepit wasteland known only as New York. God they couldn't have picked a better location could they He thought quickly to himself as he held up his used paper as some sort of umbrella to protect him from the rain. Where exactly is the light and day right now, that all i need his emotions fully charging. God what he wouldn't give for a sunny day once in a while.
But at least he was here. He made his way into the old styled building and made his way upto his office facing his nameplate towards the chair perfectly before grabbing a wipe and cleaning it wildly. Why can't they just make self cleaning rooms. He worked harder to brush of the germs until finally he felt comfortable with it.
He picked up his phone and rang his small secretary. "Linda, tell Archie i might be late down today. I have things i need to do first" He lied. he had nothing to do but wanted some time off. Hell knew he deserved it and with that he sat back and dozed off
