[hider=Luther Billy Wallace] [u][b]Basic Information[/b][/u] [b]Name:[/b] [INDENT][i] Luther Billy Wallace[/i][/INDENT] [b]Nickname/Alias/Etc:[/b] [INDENT][i]The Sunshine Child, The Stormbringer[/i][/INDENT] [b]Gender:[/b] [INDENT]Male[/INDENT] [b]Age:[/b] [INDENT]10[/INDENT] [b]Height:[/b] [INDENT]4'8ft[/INDENT] [b]Weight:[/b] [INDENT]83lb[/INDENT] [b]Type:[/b] [INDENT]New Student[/INDENT] [b][u]Appearance[/u][/b] [b]Hair Color:[/b] [INDENT]Bright-blond[/INDENT] [b]Eye Color:[/b] [INDENT]Bright Blue[/INDENT] [b]Ethnicity:[/b] [INDENT]Caucasian - German, Dutch, & Iroquois[/INDENT] [b]Physical Appearance:[/b] [INDENT]A small child that practically breaths youth. The first mistake you'd make about Luther Wallace is that he fits the standard definition of a "male". He doesn't have too much girth to his body, and lacks typical male features. In fact, he has so little masculinity in his appearance that he doesn't appear to be male. He's nearly androgynous in the facial department, but is still quite young. What doesn't help is the fact that he has plenty of straight, light, flowing, back length, blond hair. Which is usually attributed to girls. Along with a small, dainty body, he looks pretty frail. He's 4'8, a few inches under the average height for someone his age and weighs 83 pounds. That's a fairly healthy height-to-weight ratio according to BMI. While he looks girly and frail, Luther certainly doesn't look like he sits around. With the scars on his knees and shoulders that suggest plenty of rough housing. With feet that are heavily calloused because he tends to walk around barefoot a lot. Luther's right arm is heavily scarred, dotted with bite scars, seemingly from a dog. Whatever attacked him, it's clear that it did a serious number to his arm. Most of all, Luther has a slashing scar on his right cheek (starting at the top, going down to his jawline). Along with a few broken, and loose teeth in his mouth, Luther doesn't exactly have the best dentistry on the planet. Not that it mattered to the boy. He keeps a bright, sunshine, smile on his face as he makes his quick movements through life. Luther is undeniable Caucasian, he has very fair skin, that is tanned somewhat due to all the sunlight he absorbs. Has the aforementioned scars, along with his face and upper body being dotted with light freckles. Luther has several different Caucasian nations flowing in him. German, Dutch, & Iroquois. He looks fairly European, but not that anyone could easily tell. If anyone asks, he tells them that he's all American. Luther's facial features do little to suggest his masculinity either. With his slender, angular, facial features, on a heart shaped head, that look more on place on a teenage girl. Small, pointed nose, round cheeks, and feminine jawline makes him appear more on the girl-side. Luther has a thick southern accent when he speaks, his voice is also quite high.[/INDENT] [b]Attire:[/b] [INDENT]As for attire, Luther likes to wear loose outfits that don't stick too tightly to himself. The boy lacks a sense of style. Any sense of style. He wears outfits that don't match all the time. Nor is he ever seen wearing anything close to "formal" or "stylish". Sweat pants, T-shirts, sneakers. One could say that he dresses for practicality rather than style. Though it's more of a matter of him being utterly oblivious, and, by that extent, unconcerned, about what he wears. Luther likes to wear lighter colors, as white is his favorite color. It's rare to see him wearing anything that is of a darker shade. However, I should note that Luther is fine with wearing girl's clothing. Though, it's something that he does discretely, when nobody is around, or when he actually gets his hands on some clothes. However, one thing he's notable for wearing is a hat. Not just any hat, a ridiculously large women's sunhat (A straw sunhat at that). This hat has much more girth than his entire body, and is only kept on his head by a string. When the hat is large enough to completely obscure him if he were to angle it right, it's saying something.[/INDENT] [b][u]Personality[/u][/b] [b]Outward & Innate Personality:[/b] [INDENT]A wild-eyed child of the sun. A cheerful, adventurous, youth, that's always on the move. He's constantly on the move, and rarely stops to slow down. Not to say that he'll never stop. Luther is a child that can appreciate a quiet, relaxing, moment, much more than any other hyperactive kid. That's how Luther operates anyway. He spends his days partying, before finding somewhere relaxing to kick back. Luther is quite the young explorer. If he finds a place that interests him, he'll scope it out, until he finds out everything about that place and move onto the next one. Matter fact, that is his M.O for when he enters a new place. Scope it out, whether he's told to or not. It's just the thrill he gets from finding out something new. A similar thrill comes from being in the forest. Apart of his free-spirited upbringing is that he tends to spit in the face of authority. He does whatever he pleases, more or less. He lives life for himself, the way he wants to do it. He won't blatantly do it, he knows when something will screw him over, but he tries to secretly do it. Luther hasn't exactly been taught what's acceptable behavior, or how to change how he acts depending on different situations. He's always acting like himself, no matter where he is. Simply because he hasn't been taught better. But, he's also quite independent for his age. He knows how to do things for himself, and can competently act alone. Luther is a kid that loves and respects nature. One thing that would piss him off is someone destroying forests, injuring animals, or even littering. Slow, Southern, small town, life has certainly made Luther into the polite, humble, type. When talking to people, he's quite optimistic and kind. He treats people with respect, and unwavering kindness. Everyone knows how cheerful the boy is. And Luther loves surrounding himself with people, and he tries to make sure that they enjoy him too. He also always shows his emotions to the world since he's much more concerned about being true to himself rather than maintain his dignity. Luther loves praise, and makes no attempt to hide it. His face will get red, and he'll smile cockily. It doesn't matter what type of praise he's given. He's easily impressed to say the least. Even by the simplest display of affection or strength. Speaking of which, Luther has a budding sexuality, I have to say. He's getting to the stage where he's realizing his interest in the female gender. He can be swayed effortlessly by a pretty faced girl. However, he is smart enough to use his cuteness and perceived innocence to stay in a woman's grace, and keeps his perverted side hidden. Though, Luther rarely tries not to let himself get attached to girls. He promised himself he wasn't going to let another girl break his heart. However, the same Southern life has made some of his views rather "archaic". Luther has spent plenty of time around his (Somewhat racist) Grandparents, and never really interacted much with people of color. So, some of his interactions can come off as innocently racist, and very politically incorrect. Not that he'll be casually dropping racial slurs... but some of his comments. He'll refer to the African-American man as "the black boy" or make a landscaping comment about some Hispanics. It's not that he's truly racist, it's more of that he somewhat believes it's normal for people. He's simply unaware. Luther doesn't have a solid grasp on his world views, most of his are from his mother and grandparents. To him Christianity is the one true religion, immigrants and LGBT people are people he doesn't approve of. Luther isn't exactly fighter material, he's easily coerced away with force. Luther prefers flight over fight, and damn he's quick too. However, he will fight if pushed far enough.... Not that he'll use fists. He'll use his power. Luther can be called over-reliant on his power. He uses it too much, and barely has any fall back plans. Because his power is something that he feels makes him truly special. Something that fills him with pride and confidence like no other. Luther also has an unease with himself. A great one. He doesn't know what it is, but he doesn't feel "at home" in partaking in masculine activities. He feels strange, and he doesn't know why. Luther tries to keep it under wraps, but it's yet another thing that slips through his "emotional cracks". He feels it's because he didn't have a strong male figure in his life. He spent most of his life around women. The one place that Luther truly feels comfortable is the woods. A place in which he can escape into and be himself. Luther has a bit of a fascination with girly things. Their toys, their clothes, everything about them. Just another thing he keeps under wraps. And Luther has a fear of dogs. Big strong, scary dogs. And for that matter, big, strange, beasts/monsters.[/INDENT] [b]Skills/Talents:[/b] [INDENT]Naturally, the forest is where Luther really belongs. The child is adept at traversing the woods without getting lost. He has a good memory, and pays attention to detail. Thus he's good at remembering landmarks (That, or he'll make some!). Along with his knack for exploring, Luther is a great kid to have at your side when you're exploring the woods. Once he gets acquainted enough with some woods, that's where he really starts showing his affinity for the woods. He'll know his way around great, and will know plenty of places to hide. So if he's getting chased through the woods, Luther will know exactly where to escape to. And the child can be [i]very[/i] quick if he needs to be, and knows how to climb. Catching him is a challenge if someone doesn't have the means to already. He'd also be a bitch to find in hide & seek. Luther is also a choir-boy for his local church. He sings their songs quite well, some say he has untapped potential. Singing is something that comes naturally to him. However, he ain't going to get any better without training (*Montage music plays*). Other than that, the child is unremarkable.[/INDENT] [b]Prized Possession:[/b] [INDENT]Don't you dare touch his hat![/INDENT] [b]Quote(s):[/b] [INDENT][i]"Bless your heart!" "Alright now, hold your horse, my hat almost fell off, teehee." "I think I laughed by accident. Hehee."[/i][/INDENT] [b]History/Bio:[/b] [hider=Luther's Backstory][INDENT]Bastard son, of a bastard son, of a bastard son, Luther was born from a long line of womanizing, emotionally abusing, men. Which his mother, Susan Wallace, was yet another victim of. She had sex with the man, and he left quickly once he learned that she was pregnant. Never to see him again. She had no choice but to move on and live life as a single mother. Other than that, his infancy-through-toddler years were rather uneventful. Luther lived in an apartment, and was sent off to day care often, his mother being a Therapist, had little time to watch him in the mornings. She was barely making it for both of them. Costs of everything were starting to pile up until they were going to be evicted. She was a failing therapist who was about to lose what little she had, his mother had no choice but to call for help. She had plenty of friends and family, maybe they'd pitch in? She was wrong, no one would donate money without expecting it back. Which would have caused them more problems in the long run. There was one option: pack up, and move back in with her parents. It was a desperate move, but staying and getting tossed on the streets wouldn't have benefited anyone so she grabbed Luther and headed to the backroads of Texas, a small rural community that she had grown up in (and left behind for good reason). She drove an hour to the big city to get to work. It wasn't ideal, but it's what she had to do until she could walk on her feet. By the time Luther arrived in Texas, he was around seven. This is where Luther's life really picks up. He had to change in order to adapt to the changed environment. There weren't too many kids around, and the school was quite a bus ride away. Things slowed down, however, he had a bit more freedom. His social skills hadn't faltered, however, because he enjoyed his conversations with his grandparents. They were interesting enough to keep the young Luther engaged in conversation. His mother was quite the woman too. She gave Luther a lot of freedom, and taught him to value his free-spirit above all else. He was brought to the Church every Sunday, as his family was a particularly religious one. Eventually, he was signed up to be a choir boy. Which was a mix of multiple age groups since the town wasn't big enough to have separate ones. It was a little odd singing with the adults. But singing was something that stuck with the boy, and he practices to this day. Luther also had plenty of time to himself. He lived in the middle of piss-all nowhere, a clearing in the middle of the woods. He explored these woods on the weekends, and became strangely acquainted with them. He seemingly explored, and developed a love for nature and the woods. In addition to trying more "adventurous" methods of exploring the woods, Luther felt extremely comfortable in these woods. Along with being versed. As he got older, his love of the woods and exploring did not waver. However, by the time he was nine, Luther got a little too comfortable in the woods. Usually, he gave the wildlife a wide girth, but a stray dog had entered his vicinity. He walked up to it, expecting to find a friend. Only for the extremely aggressive dog to violently attack Luther by biting onto his arm. Luther thrashed around, and had no choice but to beat the dog with a stick in order to get it off. Luther was terrified, and he didn't know what to do other than leg it back to his house. After some very terrified yelling, Luther was rushed to the doctor, and the wounds were patched up. It was a little while before he could go back home, but once he did, he was scared of the very woods that he called home. He didn't want anything to do with the place. Though, he felt miserable, and empty. Like he was denied his purpose. It was months since the incident, and he didn't go anywhere near the woods. Thus, his feelings got more and more intense until he finally went through with it. He went into the woods to face his fears... there were no scary monsters or dogs. There was only the woods that he was familiar with. He didn't go far before coming back, however. He took slow steps back into the woods, treading over the same familiar ground again. However, he came in contact with someone new. A girl, the similar age as himself, named Sally. Whom had hidden in the woods to find solace from her rather overbearing family. Luther walked up to the girl and talked to her, and they talked about their problems. They bonded. They became friends. Luther had a great reason to come back. He explored the woods, and came back to that one place. Where he kept talking to Sally and bonding with her. To the point where he was developing a crush on her - after talking to his mother, she suggested that he simply confesses himself. During one of their meetings, Luther made an awkward confession of his feelings. Hoping that she'd say yes and they'd have fun for years to come. However, Sally rejected Luther because she was only there for the summer. Which was just about over. She left, and so did Luther. But he left heartbroken. He dropped to his knees, realizing that his first love was not all it was cracked up to be. He dropped to his knees, tears streaming down a mighty storm suddenly began raging. It came out of the blue, but droplets of rain began falling until it had changed into a thick heavy rain. Luther was sitting in the thick of it. Until he got up and headed home (where the storm started up again, fading away from his original location). It was odd, Luther felt a strange connection between the storm and himself. He felt the storm, where it was going to rage, and he also felt that he was causing it. When he asked someone about it, it was merely dismissed. The storm left, and life continued normally. However, a few days later, Luther went back into the woods, and tried something. There was something about that connection... it required further probing. He sat on a rock with his legs crossed, and focused. He thought really hard about the storm, clearing his mind of everything else. It was several minutes worth of concentration, but he finally managed to create a storm. This was something that filled the boy with pride and joy. The first thing he did was race home and show them that he could make it rain. The results were... mixed. Luther's grandparents wanted him out of the house before he destroyed something, with his mother fighting tooth-and-nail to allow him to stay. Luther and his mother had a long talk about what he is. She told him that he had a power, a power that he'd have to learn to control, and keep a secret with his life. She also told him to promise her that he'll use it for good, and never abuse it. Which is what Luther did, for the next few months, he slaved away learning his power. He created enough storms (Which got a lot of news reporters fired) that he could do it easily. He also learned that he could manipulate water when he's near it. This was incredible! Luther had dubbed himself the "Sunshine Child" and continued practicing, until a very special letter came in the mail. He was invited to some Academy, offering to teach him how to use his power along with an education. His grandparents were pushing for him to go (before he destroyed their house), and his mother was too - in hopes that he would learn something useful there. Luther, on the other hand, was ecstatic. Because it meant one thing.... ... It's time for the Sunshine Child to make an appearance![/INDENT] [/hider] [b]Family:[/b] [INDENT]Father - Justin Tate (Disappeared/Luther never met him) Mother - Lucy Wallace Grandmother - Erin Wallace Grandfather - Brent Wallace[/INDENT] [u][b]Relationships[/b][/u] [b][u]Abilities[/u][/b] [b]Power Class:[/b] [INDENT]Elemental[/INDENT] [b]Power:[/b] [i]Precipitation-Generation.[/i] [INDENT]Luther, the storm-bringer. This child is a raging storm. Where ever he walks, thunder follows. Luther has the power to alter the weather to create Precipitation of various types. Rainstorms, hailstorms, snowstorms, Luther can make it all. However his forte seems to be storms that have water in them. He can't seem to affect winds and lightning as well as water. But sleet and subzero rain are also in his potential. Of course, being relatively new to his ability, he doesn't exactly have that finesse or control that the other, older, members of the cast have. Right now, he can only create rain storms, with other storms and weather types being developments to his power. Once Luther starts up a storm, the area's weather (and temperature) over a two mile radius will begin to change. Then precipitation will slowly begin to fall. As he keeps it going, the more and more will fall as the storm intensifies. It usually takes forty-five minutes to get to their peak. There won't be lightning or raging winds in these storms. Nothing but good old precipitation. Luther also has an affinity for storms. He can sense when one is coming, and it fills him with a strange joy. It makes him stronger, and feel invigorated with a new energy. And just to be clear, this isn't full weather manipulation, it's merely the ability to create rainstorms.[/INDENT] [i]Water-Manipulation.[/i] [indent]Luther has a link to the classical element of Water. Luther can manipulate water around himself (He can't manipulate the waters inside of people). He can manipulate all waters within fifteen meters of himself, and preform basic water bending techniques. He does this through flowing body motions, such as swinging his hands to throw a wave of water, and etc, etc. Since water is an extremely flexible and common substance, this is a useful element. He can shape it in any way imaginable. He can smack people with a bucket of water, or surround himself in a whirling spire of water to defend himself. Still, his control is pretty basic, he can't do the fancy tricks yet. However, one ability he has is what he calls "water-walking". When he steps on a body of water, of any size, he will seemingly stand on it as if it's a solid object. At will, he can simply drop and fall into the water. This leads up into another trick he has. He can surf by standing on a body of water and manipulating it to move him around. Almost like it's carrying him. This is a go-to technique by Luther in order to get around quickly. It is possible for him to control ice and mist/steam, but those are future abilities (And dependent on the type of storm he's in). Future abilities he can learn are: sensing vibrations through water, changing water temperature, and changing the viscosity of water.[/indent] Future abilities... [i]Fog-Generation.[/i] [indent]As Fog is generally made out of water, Luther can create a fog and spread it out over an area. Which can obstruct the vision of foes and allow him to sneak around through it. The most fog he can create at a basic level is enough to cover twenty feet. [/INDENT] [b]Limits:[/b] [INDENT]There is a range of fifteen meters with his water manipulation. And only two miles with his storm creation. Luther can only really control pure water, he has trouble with diluted, and/or dirty, water. Fresh, rain, water is what he can control the best.[/INDENT] [b]Weaknesses/Drawbacks:[/b] [INDENT]Luther is a powerhouse at his peak, yes. But the only problem is that he's a [i]situational[/i] powerhouse. He can't easily access the peak of his ability. He needs time and energy to prepare. The other weakness he has is simple: he's affected by his storms as much as everyone else. A raging thunderstorm will impede his vision and throw him around, and he could be frozen in his own blizzards. He can't control his storms nor can he easily dispel them. His storms will be free to wreak havoc. If he goes indoors, or gets knocked out, the storm will quickly stop and fade away. Luther's storms "follow" him, and he'll always be in the center of one. If he leaves the area and heads to another, the storm will fade away in that section, and has to start up again in another. So, say if he caused a massive rainstorm to take out a horde of mooks, and he is forced to retreat, that storm will disappear, and another will start up where he started. Which means he's not good at giving chase, or could be chased off himself. They also work much faster if he standing still. Creating storms is also very exhausting. Doing it too much will require a long recovery time. Luther's water manipulation has a few weaknesses too. Electricity is the most obvious problem. If he touches an electrified puddle of water, he's out. Using this power also dehydrates him quickly (FOR COMPLETELY NONSENSICAL REASONS). The more he uses it, the more water he will need to drink. If he's completely dehydrated, he'll be cut off from all of his powers (Along with a hoist of other problems!). Dry, hot, areas also impede his ability to control water. The more water Luther attempts to control, the less fine-control he has over all of it. Airbenders, and others of the sort, can simply blow away the fog he creates. Along with the fact that he is affected by the fog as everyone else is (Mainly because he can't control it, only create it).[/INDENT] [b][u]Other:[/u][/b] [INDENT]Themesong: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnU0vGDaSVA]Jojo - Go!
