Leonard's gaze swept across the sprawling farmland, a patchwork quilt of golden wheat fields and lush green pastures stretching out before him under the vast blue sky. The Trinkl family had tilled this soil for generations, their roots running deep in this rural community. While other founding families had grown wealthy and powerful, the Trinkls remained humble farmers, content with the simple life the land provided.
As Leonard walked along the dirt path toward his second cousin's house, he passed by the weathered farmhouses of his uncles and aunts, their faces etched with the lines of hard work and simple joys. Most of his kin made an honest living from the earth, their hands calloused and their hearts tied to the rhythm of the seasons. But Leonard and his siblings were different, their sights set on white-collar dreams in the distant cities.
Leonard had always dreamed of becoming a journalist, chasing down juicy leads and exposing scandals that would shake the politicians off their heels. But now, with this strange new power pulsing through his veins, he wasn't so sure anymore. He paused, scanning the landscape again, his eyes searching for the perfect subject to test these new powers. That's when he decided to use it on…
Uncle Pete. A beefy family member who owned the largest plot on the farm. He produces grapes.
Cousin Wallace. A meek middle-schooler with geeky interests. For someone with adorable looks, he's wasting it on video games instead of girls.
Cousin Theodore. Dropped out of college to help his father with their plot. With his male heartthrob looks, he could easily make it as an actor. Too bad, his career didn't go anywhere so he stayed at the farm to help his dad.
Martin, Leonard's dad. He sold his farm plot to his brothers so he could own the two lucrative fitness gyms in town. He's a welcome sight to the gym rats in town. And he's the reason why Leonard was never bullied despite his wiry figure. The usual bullies on their campus go to either one of the gyms his father owned.
