what the future holds.

[biomagnet]

Biomagnetism. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Push someone, they fall. Pull someone, they follow. Sefton Lowell's power is an amplification of that simple fact, constantly exerting a 1:1 force on inanimate objects that enter his magnetic bubble, halting or progressing their momentum by 50%.

His effect on sentient beings is much less benign. Every time contact is initiated, his power flares and draws in their heart inch by inch. Platonic endearment is the name of the game; developing romance is up to the individual affected. The emotional component necessary to repel someone's mind requires a hate Sefton cannot bring himself to achieve, so he suffers in isolation to keep from twisting anyone else from falling to his power.

(Magnets are simply magnets, one reacting to the other — even if one of them happens to be a young man.)
