Name: Christopher Fox Nickname/Alias/Etc: Chris Gender: Male Age: 23 Height: 1,78 Weight: 52 kg Status: Returning Student --- Appearance Hair Color: Black with White Hair here and there Eye Color: Blue Ethnicity: English Physical Appearance: Christopher is a tall man, slim to his height, almost atrophic. He has some frickles on his face, but not too many. Living most of his time in seclusion, Christopher's face features have become rough and ugly, but someone with vivid imagination would know that he would be considered cute if he put on some weight. The most distinguishing feature of his is the fact that he misses his right arm. His hair is messy, long and not been taken care of for a long time. The only thing that still retains its beauty is his deep blue eyes, but it is hardly enough to make up for the rest of his appearance. His skin is tanned, burnt from the prolonged exposure to the sun (or maybe because he didn't have a bath for years). There are many scars on his other hand and a large scar that covers his back, from the left shoulder to little above his right hip. Attire: T-shirts, or other light clothes, but his favorite option are Hawaii-styled short-sleeved shirts. --- Personality Outward & Innate Personality: By the time he joined the Academy, Christopher was an overzealous and extremly extroverted person. He could easily make friends, which he always stood up for and he was always honest to everyone. He never declined to help someone and he would go to extreme actions to make the others happy, even if he had to goof more than his dignity allowed him to. That's why he was equally loved by his fellow classmates in the Academy or his other friends before it. He hated slacking and always tried his best in everything he did, although he wasn't always at it. His grades were satisfying, but his moments of glory had always been team sports, in which he would always be the heart and soul of his team. However, this zeal of his was what changed him completely. Due to an incident at the academy (details at History), he secluded himself from everyone, abandoning the Academy and living alone in one of the most deserted spots of the island. The shock from the accident has affected him in dramatic ways. He is afraid of hurting people, that's why he avoided them for twelve years and he now refuses to try hard, because of the incident mentioned above. He occasionally suffers from nightmares and he sometimes speaks to himself. Deep down however, there is still a trace of his old self and that's the reason he abandoned seclusion after all these years and decided to return to the Academy. Skills/Talents: His time in seclusion made Christopher a proficient hunter and explorer. He is able to distinguish footprints of normal animals in a glance and knows the wilderness of the island like the back of his hand. In the past he was a natural at goalkeeping. He also enjoyed playing drums, but didn't practice too much to be good at it. Quote(s): [i]"Your hands aren't dirtier than mine..."[/i] Prized Possession: A screw. History/Bio: Christopher was born in the slums of England. He was the oldest of a small group of children and their protector. From a young age he developed his "team" personality because of them. It was his outgoing nature the reason he found a family to accept him and the other children. An old couple living in Liverpool accepted them and raised them as their own, despite their financial difficulties. He discovered his powers at the age of ten, when he was playing in a construction site and he instictively stopped a collapsing part of it's steel frame. Realizing he had some sort of magnetic abilities, he decided to improve his control over them, until he reached a level where he could at least consciously use his powers. He never told anyone of his powers, preffering not to cause an uproar with them. That was until he received an invitation to attend to Academy 218, twelve years ago. Gladly accepting the invitation, Chris arrived at the Academy, befriending many people. However he was especially close to Henry, whom he found a really cool guy despite his lizard-like exterior. Quickly blending with the students, Chris participated in activites, tried his hardest to pass the lessons, despite his difficulties in learning and of corse improving with his abilities. At some point, he wouk occasionaly hang out with others in the shipwreck. It was in one of his visits there that changed his life. In s quarrell against a senio, Chris, never going easy, tapped to his full power, without having the proper control over them. Pulling some of the ship's supports, he took d8wn a part of it, resulting in the deaths of 11 students, severe injuries to many others and him losing his arm. That day was called the "Doomsday in the Wreck", a story that some of the older students and the staff still remember clearly. After recovering and devastated from what he did, Chris ran away from the school and moved into the most secluded depths of the island, holding only a loose screw he had taken from the shipwreck that day. The huge shock of the consequences of his actions forced him to subconsciously put mental blocks to his powers, rendering him unable to lift anything heavier than a single screw. Suffering from daily nightmares, the only thing that kept him sane was his guilt that by losing his mind, he would be getting away pretty easily for what he did. As such, he suffered alone for twelve years, with some staff from the school watching over him discreetly. Twelve years later, he was informed by a visiting member of the staff that his friend and former classmate, Henry, would be a teacher in the Academy, prompting him to return, hoping that Henry would be the only one capable of keeping him under control. Family: His foster parents and siblings. Relationships Relationships: Henry | Good | Friend | [i]"I always felt closer to Henry that anyone else and, right now...he is the only one I can trust to protect me...from myself"[/i] Valjean | Bad | Roommate | [i]"The typical bully...He dared threaten Henry in front of me...I find the chance, I crush him...plain and simple..."[/i] Vespera | Very Good | Chrush | [i]"I don't believe I met Vess, after all these years...Even today, she still has that something that attracted me to her. If only I wasn't in this pitiful condition, maybe she would notice me more that just an acquaitance from old times..."[/i] Vera | Very Good | Closest Friends | [i]"It's Vera! The most kind person in the world is still in the Academy! It must be fate! I thought that Henry was the only one who could help me, but, with Vee here, there is still hope...even for me!"[/i] Matthew | Mixed | Troubled | [i]"I still can't figure how that guy was thinking in our first encounter. I am not going to judge him so quickly, but I hope we can get along. For now, I am just waiting to see his next move..."[/i] --- Powers Power Class: Energy 8 (Currently 1) Power: Electromagnetic fields When capable of using his powers normally, Christopher has the power to produce electromagnetic fields and to pull or repel ferromagnetic materials (such as iron, steel etc). He can also use his magnetic fields as shields against ferromagnetic projectiles, such as bullets. By forcing his powers to the most extreme, he can also affect matter in a molecular level, although he can do that on really small objects and only to ferromagnetic materials. The range of his ability and the weight he can control vary with his control, but, before the accident he could consciously control ferromagnetic objects with a total weight of 200 kg in a 300 meter radius. Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: As with a normal magnet, temperature affects his powers. Heat lessens his powers, while cold enhances them to a point that he can't accurately control them. His trauma is also directly linked to them, allowing him to only use a fraction of his powers, lifting nothing more that any weight equal to a single screw. Other: His nervous system is unable to send messages to the brain that indicate cold. He is affected by cold temperatures (he can get frozen, have frostbite, get sick, or even die), but is unable too feel cold itself.
