`BARCLAY JAMES STEWART!
`YOU KNOW IM NOT MUCH BETTER WITHOUT YOU!
NICKNAMES Scotty (due to his accent), Clay
AGE 19
GENDER Male
ETHNICITY British, Scottish to be exact
GRADE Senior (12th)
SPECIAL ABILITY(s) Heat Manipulation / Fire Breathing
Barclay can generate heat from his hands or his entire body, up to 350°F. This power works great for heating cold cups of tea. Because of this, he can withstand high heat very easily.
He can also breathe small amounts of fire to do practical things like light old stoves or a cigarette.
He cannot use either ability for long periods of time, else he will catch a fever.
HOW DID THEY FIGURE OUT?
Barclay found out about the ability to generate heat when he accidentally burned a childhood crush while they held hands on the playground. He was blushing like mad and the next thing he knew, her hand was burned and she was crying. Barclay was confused and upset, but didn't know what to do. He ended up carefully bandaging it and kissing it better. But she was mad at him and never spoke to him again.
The fire breathe was an accident when he had a cigarette in his mouth and was really frustrated at his lighter, he let out a puff of anger and the whole cig was aflame. That was an interesting day.

OVERALL PERSONALITY[/b]
When you first notice Barclay, he will come off as an old-fashioned sort of guy. He's usually dressed somewhat nicely, likes having tea during his breaks, and generally is very good at upkeeping himself. This is a correct assumption, as Barclay has very traditional tastes when it comes to how he likes to come off in a professional setting. See also: how he likes to come off to women.
On the other hand, you may also see him as a bully. His demeanor gives off vibes of liking to start fights and liking to scare others. In this sense, you would also be right. Barclay loves being the alpha male in a school setting. Not to say that he wouldn't calm down for a few choice men, but that it is very hard for him to do so.
Barclay is very selfish and hard-headed. He likes to be in control and he likes to have things go exactly his way, otherwise he really isn't satisfied. He will persist until they go like he wants. Not to say that he is picky, just incredibly stubborn.
He really likes to pick on people. He will go out of his way to embarrass someone. Not in a disgusting or distasteful way, but more like reveal that they peed their pants when they were little one time. He is a very big fan of blackmail and will use it to harrass people.
Barclay is a huge flirt as well. He thinks the best way to get to a woman's (or man's) heart is by laying on the accent real thick and smooth-talking. He would never attempt to inebriate someone to get into their bedroom. He sees that as weak and retarded and will go out of his way to stop it from happening.
Barclay is incredibly good with children. He knows exactly how to calm them down and get them to sleep with no problem. He does not want them himself, though. And he does not like to have to watch them. When they start crying, it hurts his head and makes him burn up really fast.
He likes getting into barfights. He will gladly join in a fight to show off to whomever. He will hopefully grow out of this, but for now, he likes joining into fights. It is because of this that he sometimes comes off as the type to beat someone up for no reason.
Really, he's actually a gentle giant. He has a soft spot for children and people with a sense of innocence about them. He doesn't like to show it off as much, preferring to either keep a snarky smirk or a nuetral demeanor.
Barclay is really snarky. He will not hesitate to comeback with something rude if you say something rude to him. And there is no question that it is an insult when he says it.
Family means alot to Barclay. So if you insult his family, you will be lucky to live to tell the tale. Fire would be the worst of your problems.

`WHEN HES INSIDE YOU KNOW THERES NO ROOM FOR ME!
[/font]Barclay had just retrieved a pack of cigarettes. He was stressed out from not having them all day long, plus the constant annoyance of having to deal with small children all day long. The attendant had annoyed him as well, what with his "Are you sure this is your real ID?" Barclay was 18 for Nessie's sake!
But at least he had his smokes now. He breathed a sigh of relief as he opened the package and brought one to his mouth. It was almost a comfort to him these days. In the back of his mind, he wondered if the cancer-on-a-stick even affected him as it did other humans?
Ah well. No matter now, he supposed. He reached for his lighter and tried to light it. But to no avail. The lighter appeared to be jammed and not wanting to cast any sort of flame.
Barclay slapped it against his palm, but to no avail. He let out a huff of aggravation. Only to see a streak of flame come from his own mouth and catch the entire cigarette on fire.
He quickly spit it out and stomped it out on the ground. "Holy shite!" He screamed at the offending object, as though it were its fault that it caught aflame.
So apparently not only was he a natural born freak water-heater, but he was also a fire-breathing dragon. He was sure some idiot would find a shit ton of giggles in that one. But for now, he just ignored it, grabbed another fag from his package, and blew it to light with his mouth.
Today was not his day.
