The Basics
Name: Charlie Oliver Pearson.
Nicknames:
Age: 22.
Orientation: Heterosexual.
Desired Rank/Job: College Student, studying at the University of Vermont.
Powers: Object Mimicry.
Charlie can turn into almost any object as long as he can see them. There are a few requirements however. First of all, as mentioned, he has to be able to see the object. Secondly, the volume of the object can be no larger than his own volume. It can be smaller than his own, but not larger. Finally, it has to be standing on its own. If another object is attached to the target in any way, Charlie will also have that object attached to him. For example, if a table was chained to the ground he wouldn't be able to shift into it as the earth has a much larger volume than him.
There are also some drawbacks to using this power. Things like sore joints and stiffness are extremely common. If Charlie shifts into a vase and that vase is smashed or broken in any other way, he will also be shattered. The same goes for if hot water is poured into the vase; Charlie will be scalded. There's also a chance he won't immediately be able to shift back, so becomes stuck as a vase for an hour or two longer than wanted. Furthermore, there's the rather embarrassing fact that his clothes don't morph with him, so when he turns back into a human he is completely naked.

The Details

General Appearance:
Charlie is, and always has been, smaller than his peers, standing at 5' 9". He has a slim frame, with a decent level of muscle, but nothing very impressive - he keeps fit, but doesn't work out or anything like that. Charlie doesn't have a set style, his clothes really depending on his mood and the weather. Usually he'll opt for short sleeves and legs instead of a long coat, but in the winter a smarter, shirt and jacket type thing would be common. Everything he wears, however casual, is from a designer brand, as he doesn't exactly lack the funds to make that possible.
Charlie never allows his straight, brown hair to grow very far down his neck and always keeps it in pristine condition in a stylish fashion. Further down his face his brown eyes sit just below rather bushy eyebrows, peeking out over a slightly defined nose and thin-lipped mouth. Stubble joins his chin and his head hair together, but never grows longer than just a five o'clock shadow.
Personality:
Charlie is never one to brag. Although his parents had the fortune of having a small fortune, he was never really spoilt as a child, so isn't the stuck up snob most people suspect him to be. He's also a lot quieter than people expect him to be, perfectly happy to blend into the background slightly. That’s definitely because he’s slightly introverted rather than an emo loner though; he stays by himself by choice. That doesn't mean he hates it when people approach him, but he probably won’t approach someone else very easily.
Charlie is into sports, especially ones that require less brute strength and more skill and agility, like Soccer (his game of choice). Following the same logic, he doesn’t work out at a gym, instead preferring to go for a run to keep fit. Other hobbies of his include cocktail mixing – a newly found activity which he surprised himself in taking an interest to – and cooking. Not only is cooking a great way to relax on an evening alone, it’s also a great way of getting girls.
Charlie was brought up with the mantra ‘if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing’. While nowadays he sees it as a bit cliché, he still tries to follow it as much as possible. In games and sports, he values sportsmanship and honesty, much to the disapproval of his more competitive teammates. He never really liked straying too far from rules and regulations, often seen as a goody two-shoes at school. He never really cared what the people who called him that thought, though. He only takes notice of the opinions of people he respects.
Apart from the odd disagreement, Charlie rarely gets into any actual arguments, but you’ll have to forgive him if he slips up occasionally.

Any Other Important People:History
Charlie Pearson was born in Anaheim, California, on the 8th of January 1991, to Freddie Pearson, owner of Pearson and Co. Accounting Firm and Christine Pearson, aka Dr. Allen at AHMC. Needless to say the family was pretty well off. That didn't mean they spoilt their two children (Charlie had a sister, Annabelle, when he was 5). They weren't even the wealthiest kids in the school they went to, a private school in California, away from Anaheim. In fact, apart from keeping in touch with the latest fashion and styles, Charlie didn't buy things for the sake of it or to show off. Firstly, his parents wouldn't let him, and, more importantly, he didn't want to. Having to look after his baby sister from an early age made him a mature, if not precocious child.
Charlie was relieved when he found out he had powers. Although neither of his parents were Metas (and had done perfectly fine without powers), they were friends with a powered couple in Anaheim so they knew all about Hammel. Even so, it came as at a bit of a shock as 14-year-old Charlie Pearson collapsed back onto a sofa, only to become a pillow. It came as an even greater shock when, after searching all over the house for an hour after finding just his clothes on the living room floor, his parents sat down to call 911 and a completely naked 14-year-old Charlie Pearson grew from the pillow behind them. Luckily, after a quick call to the aforementioned Meta friends, they knew exactly what to do. The process was extremely which and within a week or two Charlie was at the Hammel Institute in Vermont, hundreds of miles away from home. Luckily, he wasn't alone for long, as three years later Annabelle, his little sister, manifested her powers at just 12 years old.
Despite the first few months of quiet trepidation, Charlie soon started making friends. He tried hard in lessons, kept training his Object Mimicry and it definitely wasn't easy. He was never that good at maths or science and things like that, so it was tough, but he managed to get through each year. It was better when his sister came, so he could look after her and feel like he was doing something to help someone. He was 17 when she came up, and two more years later he was graduating. He had absolutely no idea what he was going to do after Hammel, so he decided to go to University. Money definitely wasn't a problem and grades were good enough to get in, so get in he did. He is currently studying Business Administration at the University of Vermont and still has no idea what to do with his life.Roleplay ExampleSee Zac Stanson and Katy BishopWhat About You?
