Etrezet is the Theatre teacher, but he has a healthy respect for reality and as the classes advance he likes to expand on every day applications of his curriculum. Not everyone can be a movie star.
Highly particular about his appearance Etrezet could easily spend and hour or two of his appearance alone, trying on multiple outfits and applying just the right amount of make up, only to walk out looking effortlessly stylish. From his hair, which is often dyed various colors, to his many piercings, Etrezet is a rather unconventional choice for a high school teacher.
His wardrobe is a mix and match of traditionally gendered clothing both provocative and more reserved. His new clothing is reserved for teaching and important events where "respectable" might have a narrower definition of appropriate clothing. Then again, his idea of "respectable" has always been measurably different from the next person over. His best always includes a healthy amount of leather.
On his own time he is particularly fond of crop tops and mesh clothing and of patching his jeans with various materials when they get too worn. He isnt afraid to show skin or, because he is not very tall, wear heeled shoes. He's never been the sort to waste fabric and will wear anything to pieces and still attempt to recycle the material. He is quite adept at sewing.
His physical description might be less interesting than his sense of style. He is quite aesthetically pleasing and ambiguously mixed race. His hair is dark brown and his eyes a strange pale green with a haunting stare. He works hard to maintain an athletic build, but his weight struggles with stress. He has nine sapphire dermals running down his spine starting at the nape of his neck.

Etrezet knows how to impress anyone. He is both incredibly charming and incredibly charismatic. The ability to navigate nearly any social situation with grace is a skill that seems to come naturally. Every move he makes looks flawlessly at ease. He always seems to know what to say, how much to of it, and when. He smiles a lot, is incredibly flirtatious, and is an easy person to like.
He truly is as social as he seems, willing to chat with just about everyone he sees. In reality, though, Etrezet can be confident to the point of irritating and a drama queen to top it all off. He knows exactly how much he is worth and doesn't like to waste time when he has better things to do. He prefers straightforward conversation, can be brutally honest, swears a lot, and his sarcasm can be biting when he is in bad mood.
He is a good friend to have, when one can call him a friend. He is also a rather difficult one. Upfront he is a "help someone help themselves" sort of person. He is unafraid to give criticism, even when it's harsh. He is extremely supportive of and extremely loyal to the people he cares about.
In all ways Etrezet is an actor. He can play any role he pleases, is damn good at it, and often uses this to his advantage. He also particularly enjoys teaching young adults to do the same. Although he is an extremely private person he will be the first to admit his past has been a bit questionable. This has given him some experience in more than just theatre. Some of these things fall under what he would call, "real world application" and others would call "delinquency" which he apologetically teaches his students.
Etrezet is a stickler for continuous self-improvement. He is incredibly well informed about everything from politics to sciences-- to be considered a feat, given the extremity of his dyslexia. He has a particular focus on health and food. He isn't afraid to drink, but he is rather obsessive about food and what is going into his body and why. He is overly concerned with whats going into his body and why. Apart from alcohol on occasion, he doesn't drink much besides water. He isn't an exceptional chef, but he mostly makes his own foods. Much of his fixation stems from an eating disorder that began in his teen years.
His worst habit, that he might actually admit to, though, is smoking. He is an ex chain smoker who still occasionally smokes when he is incredibly stressed. He has never quite stopped keeping a pack within reach. It is usually the same single pack over several months. The one behind his ear is often the same one for weeks, which he puts in his mouth when he is thinking too hard.
He has been known to criticize people who are willfully ignorant. Education is so important to him that a teaching position has been a long time goal. His decision to teach at a high school level is rooted in his desire to reach out to people when, he believes, they might be most open to receiving guidance and reaching out for help if they need it. Trez feels like he has a lot to share.

Trez is a predatory sort of Fae. He feeds on the psyche, specifically memories, as a sort of life energy. Memories, after all, are what make a person who they are and, as he would describe it, are an indirect link to a persons soul. How many pieces of one's mind can one take before it becomes murder? Whether it is actually the soul he feeds on or not is not clear.
Since people dont usually give up memories or life force willing, Trez usually has to take it by force. His grandmother, a Fae of ambiguous age with all the grace and presence of a sovereign queen, can want a persons attention and have it. Trez, on the other hand, is must resort to lesser means such as verbal queues (typically a simple, "look at me"), or visual via his glamour abilities.
He can use glamours to do anything from making himself appear more attractive, making him more aesthetically please, to giving him flashy unreal features. The more unreal the feature the less consistent it is upon closer inspection, however, so it is in his best interest not to let anyone examine him too closely.
With a combination of allure and glamoury Trez is the sort of person one would want to look at. He is, by nature, desirable. The attention he draws to himself allows him captivates most people to varying degrees. The actual trance like effect Etrezet uses to hold his victims cannot force them to preform any actions they would not agree to. The desire to keep his attention can make them easier to manipulate, but he real goal is to hold them while he feeds. At it's fullest it is merely a dissociative state that wears away as soon as he is done feeding. Feeding is best done with skin to skin contact. Indirect feeding would require a large crowd of people to be even minimally satisfying.

Precognition— Trez can See things in dreams and visions. Visions usually relate to him and the people around him, while dreams are usually about people he doesn’t know or hasn’t met yet. This, however, is not an exact rule because Precognition is not an exact science. Most of this ability relates to the future. It is relatively easy for him to use his Sight to see immediate possibilities in any given situation, but full blown visions are not self induced. The sight tends to do whatever it wants without his input. This ability has also casually lead him into far too many “coincidences” and “lucky breaks” for his own good.
Disadvantages
Fluid Vision— Similar to the photography technique of using a long exposure time to capture movement on still film with ghost like effects, the Sight can cause a lingering effect on Etrezets vision and hearing. Motion, or possible motions that could have been made, may linger in his vision until a person or object slows or stops moving long enough for his vision to consolidate back in the present. Spoken words, or words that a person might have considered saying, linger in the air until a pause in conversation or silence and can cause a mash up of voices.
Dyslexia & visual stress— Etrezet already has dyslexia, but it is made worse by his Sight. He has a rather hard aversion to reading anything that is not absolutely necessary because of the way letters move and rearrange themselves. He has a pair of special colored glasses that helps compensate for the physical Dyslexia. The glasses also help minimally with his distorted vision and he wears them frequently.
For this reason Etezet hates handling more paperwork than absolutely necessary. If he doesnt have to read it, and often even when he does, he wont.
Migraines— coupled with his fluid vision, dyslexia, and possibly sensory overload Etrezet is incredibly prone to light and sound sensitive migraines.
Psychometry — Trez's Psychometric powers are tuned more into the present and the past and relies on physical touch. Casual touch may lead to a sort of knowing, but deliberate and thorough examination usually causes visions and loops back around to the disadvantages of visions.
Touch may lead to inherently known knowledge, or even visions of memories associated with the object or person. Unlike his Precognitive ability that just does whatever it feels like doing without any regard to him, he has a finer control over this ability. He can’t use it to be all knowing, but he does have a fairly good grasp of how to find the information he wants. More often than not he uses Psychometry to read things he finds difficult due to his dyslexia.
Disadvantages
Object focus— Although Etrezet can use psychometry to just read general information from object, the life of an object is often significantly difficult to sort through. The longer the existence of an object the more difficult it is. It is much easier for Etrezet to focus on finding specific information, the more recent the better, which roughly requires him to know what he is looking for.
Not people— People are messy with daily events, thoughts, and emotions. Emotions, and occasionally to events that cause high emotions, are relatively easy to detect via casual touch. Deeper examinations are possible but difficult.

Etrezet is the product of two affluent families. His mother was the last of her name, a less powerful seer who married his father. Their union was convenient, but his father was less than stellar and never faithful. He has one older brother, ten years older, and four half sisters the same age and younger than him. When his brother turned 18 he joined a military and no one heard from him for a long time. His mother suffered an accident when Trez was 10 and his father used it as an excuse to leave her and marry his mistress, the mother of his four sisters. His youngest sister, strong willed and loud, was the only sister he ever got a long with in the brief moments he interacted with them.
Trez ran away from home before he was 12 and was homeless for much of his youth. He got involved in the sex-trade before he could understand the gravity of what he was doing. With his glamour ability he eventually moved his way up to very expensive clients who would lavish money on him. This allowed him to get his alternative high school diploma and enter college. He majored in theatre and acting with the intent to become a teacher. He has also taken counseling courses to help others.
While he was at college he studied make up and design on his own time. He started performing as a drag queen on and off for four years. For the longest time Trez also suffered from an eating disorder. He spent a period of time receiving psychiatric help and has been doing well in his recovery, with ups and downs, for a number of years.
