HISTORY[]
Ethan was born into one of New Jersey's richer families, which consisted of his parents, his older brother and his younger sister. Though they weren’t ridiculously rich, they were well off, with a nice house and a good amount of money thanks to the business attached to the family name. Ethan's life was fairly normal; he more often than not got into squabbles with his older, more straight-laced brother, and at a young age had taken it upon himself to act as a guardian to his younger sister, and they were inseparable. Douglas envied their bond, and could never seem to connect with the two of them the way they connected with each other. Eventually, to please their father, Douglas joined the military, and on his first tour, was killed in action. Ethan was fifteen when this happened, and the emotional fallout from that was only the beginning.
The family didn't have much time to recover before the next blow was dealt. A year passed without much else happening, and then, one day while the Ford siblings were at school, a poorly-executed burglary at their house ended in a struggle, and subsequently the accidental murder of both their parents. Neither Ethan nor Clara had any idea of what happened until they returned home from school to find their parents' bodies on the living room floor. That was when Clara discovered her strange ability; the emotional blow from that seemed to explode from her, knocking things over and breaking windows.
After what can't be counted as the smoothest legal dealing ever, Ethan and Clara were sent to live in another part of the state with their aunt and uncle, Laura and Scott. It was better than being separated and sent to different foster homes, much better, but neither of them were happy with it. Things were okay, though, and their new home was a good one, all things considered. Still, the death of their parents changed them both, and where Clara had gone quiet and only spoke to Ethan for quite a while, a huge change from her usual gregariousness, Ethan just got angry, violent, uncooperative. The only person to whom he was almost his usual self was Clara, and Ethan remained the only person who could reach her, in a way. That's why Ethan was constantly called on to calm his sister down when she would start getting so upset that things would almost start getting knocked over just by being near her. This is how she destroyed their uncle's desk the first time, which everyone but Ethan just assumed to be an act of rage. Ethan knew better, though, because Clara wasn't the only one with strange things happening around her; Ethan, himself, had recently been noticing that when he picked things up or touched them, he just knew things about them in a way that could not be normal. So they then confided in each other about these occurrences, Ethan doing his best to talk Clara through it.
RELATIONSHIPS[]
- Clara Ford ↪ Little sister. Ethan would cage fight polar bears to keep her safe.
- Levi Blakely ↪ His Sassy Gay (Best) Friend. How did that happen. Ethan can tell Levi most things he wouldn't tell other people (when Levi isn't being the biggest troll in the universe).
- Alec McDowell ↪ Clara's boyfriend. Ethan is still being careful (e.g. he still owns a baseball bat -- what) but Alec hasn't broken her heart yet and seems decent. Ethan is still an ass to him on principle, though.
- Kazuya Saito ↪ GET OFF OF MY LEG, GOD DAMMIT. NO I WILL NOT WEAR THOSE PANTS.
- Dr. Scott MacKenzie ↪ His uncle and a teacher at the school. Ethan knows that he ~understands his angst~ and is trying to help, but refuses to acknowledge it because he's a stubborn little twerp.
- THE SEX SPARKLES ↪ It's all one waking dream. Or nightmare...
Ethan secretly enjoys their music, ssh.
ABILITIES & SPECIAL TALENTS[]
