[/i][/size][/right]The Basics
Name: Reece Ripley Turner
Nicknames: T-bird - His mom called him that.
Age: 25
Orientation: Pansexual
Desired Rank/Job: Local, Bar Owner.
Powers: Illusions
Reece can create realistic illusions and the power of the human mind does the rest. For example, if he was to create a drink for someone and they took hold of the glass to drink some and he moved the glass up to their lips to allow them to drink, it would seem to them that they were drinking the liquid he created but they're not.
Reece has come to realize that making people believe what they see is very very easy and it has gotten him out of a lot of tight spots when he teaches his class and his dance partner has not showen up to show off a complicated move.
Of course, he can only create illusions and not the sounds and if someone was to realize it was an illusion rather than real, he'd have to drop his power.

The Details
Hair Color: Dark brown
Eye Color: Pale blue
Any Piercings? None
Any Tattoos? None
Any Scars? None
General Appearance:
Reece has striking blue eyes and normally they can appear rather cold but when he smiles it lights them up surprisingly well. His plain dark brown hair comes from his fathers side and this is often wet with sweet or pushed back under a hair band when he's dancing or teaching but when he's being the normal guy at home, he allows it to hang loose which allows him to develop a habit of running his thin fingers through his hair when he's nervous, frustrated or shy with any social situation. Reece stands in at 6 foot one.
His sleek slim body and tones muscles have had years and years of practice in the dancing field. He's elegant when he moves and this too shows that he's been a ballerina for some time though he doesn't discuss that much. Reece wears tight fitting clothes since this makes him feel more comfortable and allows him to dance any place any time when he need takes him. His face is always free of stubble and he likes it that way. You'll never see him with a beard and he goes to great lengths to avoid it. Reece is also not shy to wear cover up or underliner when needed and on special nights at 'I love Salsa', expect him to wear it.
As far as colors go, his favourite to wear is black and red and he knows he looks good in them. Tank tops and nice smooth black flair pants when he dances or teachers are the most comfortable clothes for him to wear.
Personality:
Reece likes to pretend that everything is perfect and when it's not he gets both frustrated and annoyed with everything and panics then does his best to make everything perfect. He can't take his rep being in jeopardy or people finding out about his secrets or those of his family. He's always been a nice guy and is always trying to do the right thing or make the right choices when one had been set before him. He hates disappointing people.
Saying this, Reece is not all sugar and spice. He'll often get a little high now and then to take off the edge. He's a good sport when it comes to a lads night out but won't allow people to get too close to know all his secrets. His friends are as important to him as his reputation is and if a friend is in need he'll often do what it takes to help them. Reece likes to be in control of every aspect of his life.
From the club to his family to the house. He likes knowning everything that has anything to do with him and/or his friends and family and if someone hurts those important to him, he won't stop until he gets revenge and not when they expect it either. He can be rather demanding when it comes to the things in his life as well as his need for perfection. Reece has never been in too many relationships but one in particular caused him to keep to himself.
He is a romantic at heart though, believing in the whole prince charming speel for the most part. Overall Reece is pretty much a listener instead of a speaker and will keep himself to himself unless he thinks someone is in need of a little help here and there.

Family Ties
Father: Chase Turner
Mother: Cryssa Turner
Siblings: Twin siblings, Lindsey and Rebecca
Any Other Important People:All three siblings have their own horse. Reece's horse is stabled in Vermont and he's a chest nut stallion called Wild Fire Phillip or just Phill. He's an old retired race horse.
Reece has been feeding this stray cat called Lynxie who's made a permanent customer of herself at the bar.
History
Reece was born to a very musical inclined couple, eight years before his twin siblings came into existance. His father was a piano players as well as a horse lover. His mother was a dancer and a horse hater. Despite that, they made it work. With Chase's wealthy back ground, when his grandparents died, Chase inherited the ranch and a few oil wells from his grand father. His own parents had died when he was very young in a very horrible way which I won't get into cause this is Reece's time to shine.
Reece was born to the couple and doted upon. His father offered strong guidance but it suffices to say that his mother was his life sorter outer. She organized everything from his school to his ballet partners. From a very early age, around six, Reece was taught to dance at his mother's ballet school. He was quick to learn and being the only boy in the class untill he reached the age of nine, he got spot light status all the time.
He grew up being a romantic at heart and quickly learned just how much girls enjoyed a gentleman. Despite that he and Rebecca never got on very well and she could never be pushed into dancing like he and Lindsey did.
When Reece was 13 his powers kicked in one day during the open night of Romeo and Juliet where he played the lead in the ballet. Butterflies burst from him midway through the first preformance and people fled when they saw that he was a Meta. His mom and dad didn't need to be informed twice that he needed to attend hammel and the whole family was moved to Hammel.
His father was heavily disappointed at having to give up his ranch and his mother was devistated at giving up her studio. Of course Chase soon bought his wife a new dance studio down town, calling it Butterfly dance studio again like the old one was called.
The family settled down very quickly and Reece grew to become very liked at Hammel much to the joy of his parents. In school he did well and he got the basic control of his powers. Hammel proved to be a fantastic thing for Reece and his powers were soon very much under control. He learned to use his powers wisely. He still has loads of friends in the town of vermont. Old school friends or people who he'd come to know at Hammel and in Vermont.
When Reece turned seventeen, his sisters started showing powers too and were forced to go to the school as well. Reece on the other hand, was wrapped up in his future and a trip to New York to go see ABC Academy introduced him to Salsa for the very first time.
At Graduation, he was accepted into ABC academy and within three years he had not achieved a place in any ballet but with Salsa on the mind, how could he care for Ballet. His mother invited him home so they could run her dance studio together but with Chase missing ranch life, he had to make his way back to it and Reece returned home to follow in his mom's footsteps.
Cryssa, never wanting to be separated from Chase gave Reece the studios and with a loan from his father, he transformed butterfly studios into a dance club, mainly teaching Salsa, Tango, hiphop and a few other styles that were completely unrelated to Ballet.
He renamed the place to 'I love Salsa' and added a bar section to the side of the dance floor so he could open it at night as well, turning it into a bar during evenings. At twenty five, he became the man of the house since his parents returned to the ranch only visiting now and then.
Taking care of the bar and his twin siblings made Reece a very happy guy who did dance lessons on wednesdays and Fridays and had a salsa partner which he would preform with when ever the nationals were underway.
His dance partner was only a mere year younger then himself and they have been practicing together since he came back to Vermont. The fact that they are both good friends and have good chemistry makes them fantastic as dance partners and she happened to be the first girl he actually dated. Their break up left them both a little frightened to commit to anyone else.
Reece and his mom don't speak much about the changes he's made to her club. In fact, he avoids speaking to her at all. He's pretty much broken free from the whole dance thing and thanks to his father's help with the loan, the studio/dance club is always open for business. With his sisters about to graduate from Hammel, he's definitely hoping they wanna go to university elsewhere so he might be able to have the house to himself.
It being their family house he has to deal with sharing very often.
Roleplay Example
The slow moving walk of the horses gave both him and his father a chance to relax. Chase wanted to see how his kids were doing. He'd never really done well with staying anywhere without his mother, Reece knew. His father was staying for the weekend which would allow them loads of boding time really before his dad had to leave again. Reece didn't mind spending time with his dad. The girls did however. They had their social lives and stuff so it was mainly just himself, his dad and the horses.
"So the clubs going good then? I heard that the nationals are coming again."
Reece nodded, easily taking to the sway of his horse.
"Yeah, We're practicing really hard already. In fact, that's all we do in our spare time. It's insane."
Chase smirked and looked over at Reece.
"You have made her proud."
Reece shot a glare in his father's direction in hopes of silencing him but it didn't work.
"Look. It's not a shame to talk about her. You're not obliged to follow her path..."
Reece quickly shook his head.
"Dad! Can we get through One week without talking about her?"
Reece tried to be gentle about it but there was a hard edge to his voice.
"Reece, You can't just forget she exists."
"I won't. Not with you around. Ya!"
Reece kicked into Phill's side and the horse gave a grunt before bolting off into the distance with Reece on him.
