the playful child

Name: Drake Kent
Age/Birthdate: 20 September 2020
Species: Meteor enhanced human
Powers: Twin telepathy
Played By: Jake T. Austin
Appearance: Both Drake and his twin sister Dru have slightly darker skin than their siblings, but as this is credited to Puerto Rican heritage. He is the shortest brother at 5'5" and has wavy dark hair and dark brown eyes. His fashion sense depends on his mood, with loud and bright colors when he is feeling playful, darker tones when he is feeling mischievous, and always wearing the 'cool' clothing with the logo from the new and hip bands.
Personality: Drake is a prankster, pure and simple. He loves to find new ways to torment his older brother Jonathan, and often will do it to remove pressure from younger sibling Martha. The pranks usually go off a little better than most because of his developing telepathy that will alert him to if someone is around watching. In truth, he looks up to Jonathan, but wants to shine in his own way as the youngest brother of the family.
History: As toddlers, the twins were abandoned by their mother at a local orphanage because she was scared of their powers. The Puerto Rican heritage had them labeled as cursed by their mother and their culture, and it was difficult to find them a home until Clark and April came into their lives. April developed a connection quickly because she sensed the telepathy powers that were growing in the young minds of the twins. Drake was always the more vocal of the twins, often speaking the mind (literally) of his sister Dru. And when he joined the other dynamic of the family, Drake used his voice to make himself stand out in other ways.

Writing Sample:
Drake was doing his best to contain his laughter, mindful that older brother Jonathan would hear him if the laughter got too loud. But it was so hard... the prank had worked beautifully and in the end Jonathan got a face full of feathers. And since he was previously covered by sticky syrup, the feathers would be difficult to remove.

It was payback in a fashion, and distraction in a different fashion. Drake had been assigned extra chores last week because of his less than stellar grades and figured it wouldn't hurt to show Big Brother who was boss around here. Plus if the attention was on Drake, then no one would know that younger sister Martha was unaccounted for right now.

Of course Drake knew where Martha was, and was covering for his younger sister. His twin didn't know how to fun, he might as help the one sister who did. After all... life was all about having fun and making things interesting.
