Picked this kid up from one that died way too soon XD [hider=Angel] Name: Ángel Montero Cruz (Angel) Age: 16 Appearance: [hider=Image] [img]https://img00.deviantart.net/1c3a/i/2008/088/c/7/emo_boy_by_neko_rulz.jpg[/img] "[url=https://neko-rulz.deviantart.com/art/Emo-boy-34966658]Emo boy[/url]" by [url=https://neko-rulz.deviantart.com/]neko-rulz[/url] licensed under [url=https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/]CC BY-NC-ND 3.0[/url] [/hider] Motives: To be able to control his newfound abilities, and to find meaning in him obtaining his powers and in what has happened so far as a result of him having them. Personality: By default, Angel is generally not easy to read and is often composed and level-headed. That being said, he is also a rather intense person. He can be sly and is quite observant, but will not necessarily point out what he sees. Although inexpressive, he is generous towards those he calls friends. His words can be unpredictable, from brutal honesty towards another to an unexpected revelation about himself. He projects an inexplicable vibe of innocence, and a slight defeatist attitude might show at times, due to his lack of confidence in his combat skills or in the use of his powers. Backstory: Angel was on a leisure trip in Union City with a couple of friends when the UFO struck. Fortunately, all three survived and the teens were promptly returned to their homes back in South America. However, the same could not be said about the time at which his abilities had first manifested. Angel came from a troubled home, and although it had never been blatant, he had always had his suspicions from his parents' demeanors and the injuries he would occasionally spot on his mother. Everything changed one night some time after the incident at Union City, when his father returned home drunk. He entered the living room to check on the commotion he had heard from upstairs, only to stop in horror at his mother's unconscious form on the floor. Angel then turned and attempted to flee from his father, but was soon cornered and roughly grabbed by the latter. After a moment of lashing out and struggling against the older man's grip, all he could remember was a flash of electricity, before a burnt body lay on the floor before him. When he, and his mother, who had made a full recovery after the incident, had made sense of what had happened, the letter from Empyreus Academy arrived, and in spite of still being somewhat traumatized by the event that revealed his own powers to him, both he and his remaining parent agreed that this was an opportunity that he should seize. Powers/abilities: Electrokinesis - Angel is virtually an electrical source. He can draw and manipulate electricity from other sources, and amplify them with his own energy. He is also immune to electric shocks and other harmful effects of electricity. Skills: Considering his usual demeanor, one would probably not guess that he does well in theater. His acting skills have aided him several times in real-life situations. He also has an interest in Media Art, including photography, videography, and animation. [/hider]
