[INDENT]18[/INDENT]
[color=Slategray][u][B]| APPEARANCE: |[/B][/u][/color]
[INDENT]Stands at 5'9" and appears to have a tight, powerful, gymnast like physique when fully 'fed', though if he waits to long before 'eating' this can fade into a far more fragile, skeltal frame.

None of his fellow students can be quite sure what he looks like as he only ever goes out hooded and masked. His mask is a simple thing of brushed metal, crudely moulded into the shape of a skull. There's been a lot of exotic rumours about where he got it from, but the mundane truth is he bought it on ebay. His hood is attatched to the dark greatcoat that he wears.[/INDENT]
[color=Slategray][u][B]| ABILITIES: |[/B][/u][/color]
[INDENT][color=Slategray][u]Psionic vampirism[/u][/color]
William's mutation forces him to feed off the psionic energy of those around him. If he doesn't feed then he will gradually grow ill and die. Just being in close proximity to someone is enough for William to get a 'drip' effect that will keep him sustained, with no real lasting effects to the individual he is draining, other than an increase likliehood for negative moods.  

However if William decides that he needs a faster, more effective way of feeding on anothers energy he merely needs to initiate skin-to-skin contact. It merely requires several seconds of uniterrupted tactile contact for William to drain a regular person empty, leaving nothing more than a shrivened husk in it's place, though William has vowed never to do such a thing. For this reason William always goes out with every inch of skin covered, so there is no risk of accidentally hurting others. Even his mask doesn't come off in public.

[color=Slategray][u]Slightly-Above peak human potential[/u][/color]
When fully fed on psionic energy he is preternaturally strong, fast, durable and agile. Of special note is his reflexes, as they are nearly instantaneous. However the longer he goes without feeding the less powerful he becomes, to the point that if he has gone several days without contact with another human then he will wither to the point of being as weak as a week-old kitten.

[color=Slategray][u]Emphatic Manipulation[/u][/color]
William has access to low level empathic manipualtion, enabling him to, with effort, affect the moods of those around him. By his very nature he causes a slight increase in negative emotions in all those around him, though with some eye-to-eye contact and concentration he can reverse these effects, bringing joy, happiness or good humours to others. Conversely he may wish to make his enemies fear him, or force them to hate each other, fighting amongst themselves. A being of sufficiently strong will can resist him however. Any use of emphatic manipulation weakens him considerably, requiring him to 'feed' far more often.

[color=Slategray][u][B]| BIOGRAPHY: |[/B][/u][/color]
[INDENT][list]
[*]Born to Ben and Virginia Irving in a small, church going town in middle-America. His mother dies due to complications with childbirth, a fact that William's father never forgave him for, treating him coldly for the rest of his life, though as a churchgoing, God-fearing man he never goes so far as to beat his son.
[*]As William grows older he seeks solace from his family home in the church, where he enjoys the company of the charismatic, charitable reverend Elijah Freeman, and the reverends daughter, Sophie, a girl of William's age.
[*]William and Sophie begin a romantic relationship, one they attempt to consummate after William has turned sixteen. However William's mutation makes itself known during his excitement, and he accidentally nearly kills Sophie. After phoning an ambulance he flees to his church, seeking both guidance and protection. An angry mob attempts to burn down the church to kill William. Ben attempts to stop them, as although he resents his son for his perceived role in killing Virgina, he doesn't want to lose him. Ben fails, being hospitalized in the process. William would have willfully died in the burning church if not for the intervention of the X-men, come to help a mutant in need.
[*]William is taking to the mansion were he is convinced to join the school. Through correspondence he learns that Sophie has recovered, and her father was at her bedside during the mob burning of the church. Neither hold ill-will towards him, but note that it would be safer for him to remain among his [i]'own people'[/i].

[color=Slategray][u][B]| MISC. NOTES: |[/B][/u][/color]
[INDENT][list]
[*]While William doesn't want to allow himself to grow close to others in fear of hurting another like he hurt Sophie, his powers force him to form connections to others just to stay alive. He can't allow himself to die as he believe that would be akin to suicide, and that is a sin in the eyes of God. That, and it's incredibly difficult to allow yourself to starve to death.
[*]Though he typically has a non-violent disposition, part of his tuition at Xavier's has been in combat, as Bobby Drake think's he has the ability to become an excellent X-man. William prefers soft to hard martial arts.
[*]Apparently under his mask William is badly burnt, though if that is true or not is anybody's guess.
[*]Despite popular belief at the Mansion, he is not a goth. He isn't even entirely sure what a goth is.
[*]Neither does he sparkle in the sun. Stop asking him if he sparkles.

[SUB][B][I]// [color=0072bc]Friend[/color] // [color=00a99d]Acquaintance[/color] // [color=f26522]Frenemy[/color] // [color=fff200]Rival[/color] // [color=ed1c24]Enemy[/color] // [color=ed145b]Crush[/color] //[/I][/B][/SUB][/CENTER]
[INDENT][LIST]
[*][B][color=0072bc]Lucas Raymond Pilgrim[/color][/B]
[INDENT][I]Lucas, like William, knows what it's like to feel abandoned by those closest to you. An ironic shared experience to bond over, to be sure, but there it is. Lucas was one of the first students at Xavier's to welcome William, a fact that the masked teen is unlikely to forget.[/I][/INDENT]
[*][B][color=f26522]Ryan Martin Lebeau[/color][/B]
[INDENT][I]William's found Ryan to be a mixed experience. On the one hand he can be intelligent, determined and charming. On the other he can be just a whole bag of dicks to those around him for no real reason whatsoever. For the life of him William just can't figure out why someone who has so much going for him could want to act like such a tool.[/I][/INDENT]
[*][B][color=f26522]Darren Grey[/color][/B]
[INDENT][I]Darren Grey once held the title of being the most arrogant, entitled, aggravating young man in the mansion. He's come a long way since those early days though, a real turnaround for the books, and William respects the Aussie immensely for his dedication to self-improvement. However the masked teen can't quite forget how Darren used to act, regardless of how hard he tries.[/I][/INDENT]
[*][B][color=ed145b]Allison Andrews[/color][/B]
[INDENT][I]The prettiest girl in school, or at least she is in William's eyes. On top of that she came to the school through her own choice, to help people. That level of compassion has become rare in today's cynical world. Unfortunately it is clear to see how uneasy he makes her feel, and how little she enjoys being anywhere near him. It's probably better that way though, for everyone involved.[/I][/INDENT]
[*][B][color=ed1c24]Hollie Hollens[/color] [/B]
[INDENT][I]Hollie Hollens is stuck up, sarcastic and full of her own self importance. She might have many sterling redeeming qualities, but has never deigned to give William the time of day, so he's had no chance to observe them.[/I][/INDENT]
[*][B][color=00a99d]Nathaniel Nicholas Anderson IV[/color][/B]
[INDENT][I]William hardly knows Nathaniel at all. He spends a lot of time with Holly, circles the masked teen stays clear from. He seems pleasant enough though. One sure fact is that, psionically speaking, Nathaniel is far more powerful than the regular 'joe', and his latent power seems to provide more succor than most.[/I][/INDENT]
[*][B][color=00a99d]Llavi Arutro De La Rosa[/color][/B]
[INDENT][I]Another student William has had very little interaction with. Some think Llavi's powers are gross, and judge him accordingly. William scoffs at that small mindedness. Things could be much worse than having 'gross powers'. William has seen the cold shoulder Llavi receives at school, and has decided to attempt to reach out more to the foreign boy, much like what Lucas once did for him.[/I][/INDENT]
[*][B][color=0072bc]William Alexander[/color][/B]
[INDENT][I]William has grown quite fond of his younger namesake. That may come as a surprise to those who can't countenance the morose, brooding, psionic vampire being able to stomach the exuberantly cheerful aerokinetic, but it's Will's cheerfulness that the older teen finds so endearing. Notably he seems to be one of the few people who's mood isn't affected by being in William's presence. William has grown quite protective of the younger boy.[/I][/INDENT]
[*][B][color=0072bc]Heidi Keller[/color][/B]
[INDENT][I]If 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend', does that mean for the crush of one of your friend is also your friend? Probably not, but the masked teen tries to treat her less coldly than he does others for Lucas's sake. He doesn't know Heidi well, but Lucas holds her in high esteem, and that's coloured William's opinion of her.[/I][/INDENT]
[*][B][color=00a99d]Daniel Aiden Green[/color][/B]
[INDENT][I]Most people at school are uncomfortable around William. William's uncomfortable around Daniel. He constantly feels like he must walk upon eggshells around the red head, in fear of being on the wrong end of some moralising lecture. Plus, he smells funny, and odd sweetness hanging around the air whenever Daniel is nearby. William is told that's the price of being a vegan. That, and he can be uncomfortably forthright about his desire to lay with Colossus.[/I][/INDENT][/LIST][/INDENT]
