Name:  Christopher Valentine

Nickname:  Chris

Gender: male

Age:  19

Brief Personality:  Chris is probably one of the most laid back people you will ever meet. He usually is usually never mad, he has a very good reign on his emotions. Well he gets mad, obviously, he is just better at hiding it than most. Valentine is out going and social, and is actually really smart. He likes to pretend he is dumb just to catch people off guard as to further solidify his persona of being laid back. It's when Chris or his friends are in a dangerous situation when he becomes serious. He becomes calculating, but still calm. Chris will do anything to protect his friends and those close to him. He also will help any mutant in need because he knows how bad life can be as one and feels a sense of camaraderie.  Chris is also a music enthusiast, and plays the guitar quite well. He won't admit it but he also writes songs and is a really good singer. But his singing is usually restricted to the shower or his notepads. 

Ability: Sunakinesis: User can create, shape and manipulate sand, a naturally occurring loose, fragmented/granular sedimentary material composed of finely divided rock and mineral particles ranging in diameter from 0.0625 mm (or 1⁄16 mm) to 2 mm.

Limits to Ability: Liquids can make his sand heavier and harder to manipulate. Enough liquid can turn his sand into mud, which makes it virtually useless. Intense heat can turn his sand into glass but he would still be able to manipulate it.

Age admitted into Riverwood:  This is his first year

Background: Chris didn't discover his ability until his 18th birthday. Somehow the X-Force got wind that he was a mutant, must have been some kind of genetic test run at the doctor's that seemed like a normal appointment. They came for him at night, but he got lucky and escaped. Valentine realized what had just happened and had to run away. There was no time to write a letter to his family, which he regrets to this day.
