Christian Keyes

A deceased Angel of New York City.

History

Growing up in large family as the middle child of all boys, Christian was often overlooked as a child. He wasn't a "problem" child, like his older brothers, and therefore didn't receive as much attention as he would have had he acted out like them. His younger brothers also received more attention, being coddled and babied.

Originally from a small, almost nothing town somewhere in South Carolina, at fifteen Chris robbed a bank (used his powers to unlock the vault and walk out with the money late one night), hitchhiked to New York, and has been living on his own for the past year or so. He makes money dealing drugs and with minor theft (nothing so large scale as the bank), only using his powers to get himself by. He's attending high school again, holding down a part time job at a supermarket when he's not out dealing.

He hasn't contacted his family since running away, and never really plans to, since he doesn't think they really notice he's left, continuing to live his rather screwed up life of petty crimes.

Personality

He's never actually done any of the drugs he sells, but all the same looks a little strung out, a testament more towards how busy he is than anything else. He has a small nervous habit of carrying a small combination locker-type lock on his backpack, and plays with that when he's bored, opening and closing the latch without actually turning the combination. Aside from that, he only takes advantage of his powers when he thinks it necessary (which is probably a little more often than not, but a part time job and the drugs can only make someone so much), which leaves him hovering somewhere around the poverty line. He's never questioned his powers, and has never told anyone about them, including his parents. He's often thought of as "creepy" or "weird," because he has the nasty habit of disappearing into supposedly locked rooms, and reappearing at any time when he doesn't want to be around others. He'll eventually hear about the "fate of the world" and "destiny" via the journals.

Also, being on the "poor" side, he usually depends upon whatever libraries he can find for internet access.

Powers

Able to "open" any kind of lock. Small ones, like everyday front doors and combination locks, he can look at and just think of opening it, and it will do as he wants. Larger ones, like safes and cars, require more concentration and actual contact, but can be done. Likewise, he can also lock things that weren't previously locked. This takes less concentration and is easier than actually opening them.

An unexpected side of this power is being able to "unlock" passwords, be it a website or an ATM machine.

Other
