[Center] [Hider=Alexander] [color=9932CC] Alexander T. Sturlson 18 | Male [/color] [color=9932cc]Appearance[/color] [Img]http://mustified.com/wp-content/themes/Mustified/images/post_images/Digital-Art-Beauties-The-Wallpaper-Girls-01.jpg[/img] Standing at 5' 9" and weighing 173 pounds, Alexander has a thin frame with no visible muscles. His pale skin pigmentation matched his white hair, which inexplicably lost its natural color upon the activation of his power. His eyes are naturally a steely gray, though they change color depending on which emotions Alexander is controlling. Since then, Alexander enjoys dying his bangs to add some color back to his hair. His flat chest, thin hips, and small buttocks give him a somewhat masculine, if childish, appearance. [hr] {Subject to change with training} [color=9932cc]Powers[/color] Empathy Alexander is highly attuned with emotions, to the point he is able to recognize and experience the emotions of others. He is able to create constructs out of his own emotions, with varying added effects determined by which emotion is used. [color=9932cc]Weaknesses/Limitations[/color] Alexander is unable to turn off or tune out this ability. He is always experiencing the emotions of those near him. This causes constant headaches and confusion as to which emotions are Alexander's own. Alexander cannot influence people directly with his power. Stressful situations may cause Alexander to use his abilities unwillingly. Overuse may cause Alexander to lose control, results varying depending on emotion used. Only emotions Alexander is currently experiencing can be used to create constructs. This ability has a range of 25 feet. [hr] [color=9932cc]Personality[/color] Alexander's personality can seem entirely different from one sentence to the next at times, sometimes seeming to change even in the middle of one. This is because at these times he is struggling to maintain what little of his own sentiments that he can due to an overwhelming amount of emotions from different people. If many people near him are experiencing different feelings, this will cause mood swings. Should they all be relatively around the same emotion, Alexander will gravitate towards that emotion. This is not to say that he does not have a personality of his own. When not afflicted by the conflicting feelings of large groups, Alexander is most often a calm and gentle person. He tends to try sticking to himself, but will not actively avoid people should they approach him, or if he has somewhere he needs to go. During interactions with people, Alexander does his best to act kindly, knowing all too well that even words can hurt. [color=9932cc]Backstory[/color] Born in Los Angeles to the name Alexandria and in a female body, Alexander has felt out of place in the world for as long as he can remember. He acted notably different from the girls, causing him to be picked on from an early age. This didn't help Alexander, who fell into a depression. As he grew older, Alexander learned why he felt as though he didn't belong, beginning to act on it by dressing in boys' clothing and cutting his hair short, and taking up the name Alexander instead of Alexandria. He began feeling more confident in himself, without caring much for how others thought of him. As time went on Alexander fell into the punk scene, finding it was just his kind of style. Preppy polos and khakis turned to ratty t-shirts and baggy jeans with tears, and Alexander became a greater social pariah than before. He went through school like this, picked on thoroughly for who he was on the inside. Alexander did his best to avoid the verbal abuse, though things only became more physical. He started getting shoved in the hall, beat up after class. Having no way to defend himself, Alexander just took the beatings. Teachers and principles did nothing to help, and so this ended up being Alexander's daily school life. Time passed, Alexander had become a complete loner, staying away from others to avoid conflict. This still didn't work too well, and Alexander still had to deal with rumors and verbal assaults. As he neared the age of 18, Alexander's abilities began to awaken in small amounts. For the first time in years Alexander was able to experience joy and happiness for reasons he didn't understand. This peaceful phase did not last long, as soon his powers had developed fully. Alexander became overwhelmed quickly by everything he felt from those around him, falling into dazes as he attempted to sort through his mind to find which emotions were his own or sometimes succumbing to fits of screaming. It was not long before the test came on his 18th birthday, marking him as a Malfunction.

Visser 17 | Male [/color] [color=gold]Appearance[/color] [IMG]http://66.media.tumblr.com/b245fdddf25cd46fb8b75b0d62274028/tumblr_nflpvqTyFF1svqtjjo1_1280.jpg[/img] [hr] [color=gold]Powers[/color] Chemical Manipulation Drei is able to generate, shape and manipulate chemical substances that can create new elemental or chemical, toxic, combustible, or explosive substance. He is able to secrete these chemicals throughout his body, including but not limited to his skin, breath, or tears. Drei is able to control chemical reactions within his range, slowing or speeding them, or bringing them to a start or stop. [color=gold]Weaknesses/Limitations:[/color] Drei can only create chemicals he knows the atomic structure of. Drei is not immune to any of the chemicals he creates within his own body. These will effect him fully according to the amount he produces. From time to time, Drei accidentally uses his body's own nutrients as ingredients in creating a new substance, rather than manifesting new material within himself. This usually poses a very minor threat, though it can lead to physical exhaustion if too much is used at once. [color=gold]Progress[/color] Currently able to create only simplistic chemical substances, such as water, ozone, or carbon monoxide. Limited to use of three different elements at any given time. Able to manipulate chemicals and control their reactions within five feet of himself. Currently only able to produce gaseous or liquid chemicals. Depending on the natural state of the chemical at room temperature, the substance created will be formed hotter or colder according to the state of matter it is formed into. For example, liquid oxygen would be formed cold, and would evaporate outside of range, while liquid gold would be hot and would solidify. [hr] [color=gold]Personality[/color] Drei, although a very studious learner, has always been a thrill seeker. He is friendly and easily exciteable, often with an oddly positive outlook on things. Drei has an addictive personality, causing him to repeatedly do things he deems fun, despite the harm they may bring to him. He mostly does things for only his own benefit, without the cares of others weighing too heavily on his mind. While not completely apathetic, he could be considered slightly sociopathic. [color=gold]Backstory:[/color] Born to parents in the field of medical science, Drei lived a sheltered and studious early life. His mother, a leading figure in the study of Malfunctions, and his father, a chemical engineering specializing in pharmaceuticals and vaccines. Together the two of them worked to put an end to Malfunctions, or at the very least subdue their powers to an inactive state. They raised Drei in their own footsteps, encouraging his education with more and more material to study. Eventually, the increasing burdens of his parents' expectations became overwhelming, and Drei entered a slightly rebellious phase. He would sneak out of the house in search of fun and an escape from his work. He began doing anything to get his kicks, from shoplifting, to drugs, to picking fights. It came to the point in his teens when Drei's would consistently come home with new wounds from something or another. A few weeks after the Mal test on his sixteenth year, Drei's own Malfunction manifested. It began as water being secreted through his skin on days he was thirsty, second winds when he was exhausted, as newly created oxygen filled his lungs and muscles. It took a while for him to realise what was happening, though as the diversity of strange occurances grew, Drei began to put it together. Ironically, he had gained the ability to create various chemicals, something which would benefit greatly from the work of his parents, with their stringent educational plans. Drei came to his parents under false pretenses, telling them he wanted to continue his studies as they wanted. His workload began piling up once more, and Drei learned as much as he could of chemical substances in the pursuit of getting a hang of his powers, before he was inevitably shipped off to one other the facilities nearby which his mother had told him about. By that time, Drei's knowledge of chemical structure was almost on par with his father's, though more broad in range. Now knowing how many chemicals were bonded together, Drei knew he would be able to take his time wherever he was sent learning how to actually control his power. On his next Mal test, Drei was exposed, and sent to TEF-149.
