Its as you get older that things get darker until those vibrant colors become dark shadows of what they once were. Kellan knew this well enough. He had a great family as a kid. His parents loved him immensely, and he was always getting into mischief and trouble through jokes, but he had everything. Then... well... his sister came along. When you're seven, it is great! His baby sister Reseda came into the world and he always promised to help his parents and protect her. And he did. If anyone had ever messed with his sister, he was always the first one to jump to get defense, with his father beside him. He adored her, as did most. She was an energetic little thing that always wanted a piggy back ride and screamed when they fought. Kellan enjoyed her presence and company, buying her things she liked and helped with her parties.<br/><br/>Parties... ugh. That's what started him on this path.<br/><br/>He and his mother were tasked with decorating the apartment for Resse's twelfth birthday party, and despite being a high school graduate and nineteen, he made sure to make it perfect. His sister was still young and he knew that their parents wanted her to enjoy her birthdays before she reached the state of puberty where she would stop even wanting to be with family. He put up the pink streamers with his mother, set up the presents on a table, and waited with her. Before he knew it, the phone rang. He had started to play a game on his phone when he heard the shattering of glass. He got up and raced to the kitchen to find his mother half collapsed, tears rushing down her face, with shards of glass fallen around her. With barely an explanation, he was ushered to the car and off into the evening. When they arrived at the hospital, everything clicked. It was there that he and his mother were informed of the unfortunate passing of the only man he ever looked up to and... he demanded to see his sister. The doctor barely had the time to finish the room number before he was off, running through the halls.<br/><br/>He arrived at her room and almost fainted. He darling little sister had on an oxygen mask, wired up to a bunch of machines, and he almost vomited.<em>Always protect your sister. I'd give my life for you both,</em>he heard, almost like a phantom in his ear. Traumatized, he only could hold her small hand with his larger one, and bury his face within the blankets. Minutes turned to hours, hours turned to days, and before he knew it, a week had passed. He was already so drained, caring for his mother and helping with funeral arrangements for his father, that he just wanted to sleep. Instead, he was in the food court on the bottom floor of the hospital picking at his lunch with his mother when a nurse came running up to them. Out of breath, she barely had the words to tell them, but the wide grin that spread across her face told it all.<br/><br/>Reseda had awoken!<br/><br/>Like marathon competitors, he and his mother raced upstairs. They reached his sister's room where another nurse held up a hand, trying to stop them. However, Kellan would not have it. He had lost his father already, and he had to wait to even talk to the sister he almost lost, too! He pushed past her and entered the room, practically slamming open the door. Sitting up in bed, the small brunette jumped at his arrival, but then her brows lowered as she looked at him. As his mother came rushing in behind him, in tears, Reseda backed up on the bed with wide and fearful eyes. The doctor cringed as they approached and held them at bay as he tried to assess the situation. Why the hell was the doctor trying to stop them? What reason could he have to—<br/><br/>"Wh-Who are you? Wh-Where am I?"<br/><br/>The small, fearful voice of his sister stopped him dead in his tracks. The doctor then was able to inform them that Reseda had received a strong bout of amnesia from the accident. She could not remember who they were or what happened, and it nearly tore him apart. He turned to his mother, who then softly spoke to Reseda with a comforting voice, but the vibrant girl they had known was replaced with... with a very timid child. That... That wasn't Resse. Resse was a happy-go-lucky type who always spoke her mind, was fearless, and wore the biggest smile. This girl was not the sister he had loved so dearly nor sworn to protect.<br/><br/>Despite his inclinations, they eventually brought her home. Nadia, their mother, made sure to take down every picture of their father they had because for some reason, Reseda would get horrific migraines just by looking at them. Then, she started working overtime while they fought in court against the guy who had hit them. It had been a severe hit and run, and the Kai family were unwilling to let it go. Not only had the driver taken a life, but also the dearest thing one had; their memories. They eventually won the case and were granted a large sum of money. Despite being a whole year later and twenty, at the time of the settlement, Kellan refused to go to college and helped work instead.<br/><br/>The next nine years were hard. He struggled to find a job he enjoyed, was between said jobs, when he had gotten caught up with a girl named Ashley. They dated and he fell into her group of friends, leaving everyone and everything behind. At one point, he distinctly remembered going home to his mother worried sick and Reseda giving him a stern look. He had just come home from drinking when she approached them... and things got out of hand. He wasn't wrong, of course. How could he be? Because of her and her stupid birthday, of her damn inability to control her migraines, he had to permanently bury the memory of their father. He had not wanted to go to college because he wanted to be there for her. He wanted that old Reseda back with him... and it never happened. Instead, he got this silent, passive girl with barely any memory of her past that wanted to warn him about<em>his</em>mother's health and stress levels? As if he wasn't the older sibling? As if<em><strong>he</strong></em>were the problem? At least<em>he</em>didn't look so much like dad! Nine years of built up anger had been unleashed in the Kai household, shattering the thin glass they all walked on to stay afloat.<br/><br/>That night, he packed a bag and left, leaving his sister a sobbing mess on the living room floor. He never looked back. Instead, he turned his anger into bad habits. He drank often, though never got drunk, couldn't hold a job, and now had no place to stay. He bummed around with his friends for the next year, but he knew that even that could run out soon. So, on New Years Eve at twenty nine years old, he went deeper into the heart of the Big Apple and just wanted to watch the ball drop, if only to hope for something better. Something that would take him far away from the haunting memory of his father, his failures, and the alcohol. Little did he know the wish he made would be heard... and even granted. However, no wish is ever granted exactly how you want it to be.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Ons/Offs:</strong>Clicky (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=300739.0)<br/><hr/><strong>Powers:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list" style="list-style-type: decimal;"><li>Paralysis Inducement— Kellan can immobilize a target completely or partially, causing them to be left without movement and sensation.
