Awkward Silence *The Story of Eddie Amplitude*

[Eddie Amplitude]

I suppose I should start with an introduction. My name is Edward Trenton Jr., I was born and raised in Pueblo, Colorado, I’m seventeen years old and I am a mutant. (Kinda sounds like an intro to an AA meeting doesn’t it?) With that in mind I can get to why I am here in Paragon.

In Colorado I was your average guy, video games, maybe a little biking here and there. When I turned fifteen everything started to go wrong, I started getting head splitting migraines that would cause me to scream at the top of my lungs due to the pain. That soon became a problem because during one of these “episodes” I screamed so loud I shattered every window in the house. Shortly after that my voice became so loud I couldn’t speak without breaking something. A few days of that and I stopped speaking all together. My parents took me to a specialist on mutations, he told me that my voice may be able to shift to any frequency with practice, and my migraines were due to a rapidly developing form of telepathy.

((Sorry i'm feeling a bit lazy at the moment, more to come at a later date.))

Hey Eddie! I still can't believe you live in Colorado and never tried snowboarding. You have so got to at some point! And what was it you said about Pueblo, home of heroes? I'm sure they'll be adding you to their brag book in no time.

You might want to mention the invisible thing, Eddie sometimes goes all invisible. I know I have a bad jump reflex, and I don't want to see him get blasted or whumped by mistake when he fades back in.

I'll catch you around campus or on the streets!

Glad to meet you Eddie! If you need anything, I'm over in Quad 4 with Jason and Moon. Stop by anytime.

Hey again. Heh, where do I start? If we haven’t met yet, I’m Eddie. I’m a bit of a vocalist, not exactly the kind you find in a band though. Maybe you’ll find out at some point what I mean. I’m telekinetic and telepathic. Now that that’s out of the way, I can get to what I’ve been up to.

I’ve been here about a year now this Christmas. I’ve learned a few tricks with my powers, but not exactly the ones I need. Still hear thoughts in my head and can’t exactly speak without breaking something. More recently I’ve been buried under a mountain of homework. I’ve got the greatest group of friends a guy could ask for, and a girl that’s even better. She’s a bit of a tomboy, but we’re crazy for each other. I can’t really think of anything else that wouldn’t bum everyone out, so I’ll sit back down and let whoever’s next go ahead. I’ll see you in the halls.
