Gift: Bio-Cloning
Power Details: By activating his gift while touching a corpse, Gary can turn said corpse into a living clone of himself. The clone is fully sentient and able to think and act on its own, but is very similar to Gary in terms of memories, opinions and personality and therefore tends to ally with the original. Gary can also make slight adjustments to personality and memories if he concentrates very hard during the creation process.
Limitations and Drawbacks: The biomass of the corpse has to be at least 10 grams and needs to be fully in one piece for Bio-Cloning to work, but any clones created with less than 100 grams of mass die within an hour of creation. Biomass that has been separated, burnt or otherwise destroyed can't be used for a clone. Creating a clone requires Gary to physically touch the corpse for about two minutes (more or less depending on how much biomass is used) and concentrate. If he gets distracted or has to stop even for a moment, the process might fail or result in the clone being different from Gary in several ways like memories or personality. Furthermore, the amount of biomass heavily influences the clone since Gary's gift can only transform, but not create. A clone made out of a more muscular corpse will also be more muscular than the original; and a clone made out of a smaller corpse will also be smaller than the original. The only way for Gary to create a clone completely indistinguishable from himself would be to find a corpse with exactly the same BMI as him. There is always the danger of a clone turning against him for whatever reason, since the clones have free will. Any clone Gary creates will bear the same afflictions that Gary has at the time of the clone's creation, including all injuries and any illness. When a clone dies they return to their previous forms, and if the original Gary dies, all clones die as well.
Appearance: Gary is Caucasian, 5'3'' high and weighs 120 lbs. He has brown, smooth hair that is about 5 inches long and a squared face. His build is rather slim instead of muscular. He has small green eyes, a thin and high nose and a normal-sized mouth. Gary keeps very good care of his appearance and often wears expensive clothes. He also is short-sighted and always wears white-rimmed glasses.
On the day of the abduction, Gary wore a golden-buttoned grey suit with a white shirt and a black tie. His legs were coated by a pair of dark blue jeans and he wore grey shoes with white socks.
Background:
- Gary was born in Bend, Oregon on August 1st, 2005. His parents, Morgan and Hanna Greer-Wheatly, had another son two years before him. The family is old money and owns a small but successful factory. They spend most of their attention on Ferdinand, the first-born son who will inherit the factory one day.
- Having a lot of time on his hands, Gary quickly found himself interested in reading at a young age. He always showed a lot of curiosity towards everything new to him.
- Since his gift requires him to touch corpses, it didn't manifest for a long time. Eventually his parents took him to a professional, who also failed to determine Gary's gift. Figuring that his gift would be something useless anyway, Morgan and Hanna simply dropped the topic. To avoid trouble or rumors about their child being giftless coming up, they propagated the claim that Gary's gift was Dream Control, the ability to fully alter the contents of his dreams. They forbade Gary from revealing to anyone that his real gift was unknown or trying to find out what his gift was.
- It wouldn't be until Gary was 15 that he experimented with his gift on a few animals he found in a nearby forest, getting a grasp on what he could do. Since he used the corpses of small animals, the clones were too small to survive and died within an hour. Their deaths disturbed Gary, so he never used his gift again.
- While they mostly focused on raising his big brother, his parents forced Gary to take piano lessons and visit the opera regularly with them. Gary doesn't enjoy these activities much, but hides his thoughts, aware that his family wouldn't care about his opinion.
- As a result of his desire to learn and his sharp mind, he is among the best of his year and even skipped a year in middle school.
- Gary is very invested in debating viewpoints, especially if they collide with his own. For that reason, he is a member of the Debate Club at school. Apart from that, he doesn't participate in any extracurricular activities.
- Over the years, Gary developed an increased interest in science especially the science behind gifts. He uses a lot of his free time with learning more about this topic and the theories on how they work. After graduating, he plans to attend an university and become a scientist.

Conclusion: "Tactics might win battles, but numbers win wars. The ability to become a one-man army should not be underestimated. If S021 manages to find some place to hide while the bodies hit the floor, then he'll easily be able to reap what others have sowed." - Tiger
