[COLOR=GRAY][indent]Banjo was stuffed in an orphanage/care facility from before he could remember until he reached school age.  He was then retrieved from this care facility at school age and relocated to a boarding school, by an intermediary he calls "The Butler" due to the man's dress and being provided with no other name.  He was then moved around to different boarding schools within Australia - sometimes extremely lengthy trips across state lines - at various times, sometimes for questionable behaviour, and sometimes for seemingly no reason at all over the next ten years.

On April 18th he was relocated one final time.  A footlocker containing all of his worldly belongings was his luggage for an International flight to Vancouver, before the long drive up the Western Canadian coastline to Dundas Island, where he would receive more permanent schooling.  The school his parents - whoever they were - had planned for years for him to attend.

[COLOR=GRAY][INDENT]When not using his hyperhuman powers he is a dishevelled looking lean, but average looking teenage caucasian male with sun-bleached, light brown hair and blue eyes.

He wears his proper school uniform to the letter of the regulations, but in a rough, untidy state.  He's also taken to adorning the uniform's dress peak cap in combination with the regular uniform before school hours and as soon as the clock ticks 1601 - because he's found it irritates certain members of the faculty.

When using his power he appears as jet black, due to not reflecting any light as he is absorbing it at the time.  He is surrounded by an aurora corona - the effect of surrounding light bending around his person to be absorbed.[/INDENT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=GRAY][INDENT]Sorely lacking stable consistent parental figures and because he was bounced around so much to different boarding schools irrespective of his behaviour, he's prone to misbehaving and pressing boundaries.  He has a strong antiauthoritarian streak and enjoys little more than talking his way out of trouble - as such he's found comfort in law and is presently considering the legal profession in his higher education.

Not opposed to provoking people just for provocation's sake.  Will get himself into trouble purely because he enjoys seeing if he can extricate himself from it.

Can be abrasive.  Will be abrasive.  By anyone's definition [b]IS[/b] abrasive.

[INDENT]Banjo's HZE conversion allows him to draw upon ambient heat/energy/light in a way that enhances his musculature and creates and strengthens neural pathways, also creating a greater capacity for intelligence.

The nature of his powers also means he has acute thermoception (can determine local temperature to a tenth of a degree) and tolerance to extreme heat and cold.

When he uses his power, he turns completely black as ambient light is being absorbed and there is no reflected light, and appears to be surrounded by an aurora corona due to the effect of bending light around into himself.

When using his power, local temperature and light will drop as he draws upon it, in proportion to how much energy he is drawing.[/indent]
[sub][b][color=lightgray]   L I M I T A T I O N S   ||     [/color][/b][/sub]

[INDENT]His biggest limitation has been himself.  Due to the intelligence gained from early use of his powers, he now sees great potential for things to go wrong in using or abusing those powers - to the extent where he believes he even has the capacity to cause the complete heat death of the planet, solar system and universe beyond.

He is, of course, not anywhere near capable of this at this point.  He merely fears his potential.

Whilst his powers create new neural pathways, and clear and strengthen existing neural pathways, they do not bestow upon him any [b]NEW[/b] knowledge or intelligence.  They merely grant him the capacity for increased intelligence (and perhaps grant focus/allow him to think more clearly).

Likewise, the way his powers affect his musculature are exponential working off his initial baseline strength... so in other words, he would not have to use his powers to absorb as much energy in order to lift a large object if he were well trained and fit, as he would if lazy and ignoring any kind of training regiment.

He won't use his powers in close contact of others, and is even extremely loathe to use them indoors in general.[/indent]
[sub][b][color=lightgray]   W E A K N E S S E S   ||     [/color][/b][/sub]

[INDENT]As well as his own fear of his powers he's been having recurring nightmares where he finds himself encased in a small, confined, vacuum-sealed space - acute claustrophoblia.

At this point his power taps out at barely above a peak-level human (think Super Soldier Serum enhanced human ala Captain America) in terms of strength, speed, agility, stamina.  He's potentially capable of exponentially more though, but again his unwillingness to take that plunge, and see the true depths of his capabilities, stands in his way.

Use of his powers whilst in direct contact with another [b]COULD[/b] potentially cause devastating harm and/or death, since he draws heat and light.  This is not a baseless fear he has.  So far he has never hurt anyone in this way, though.  He's just terrified of it happening.

Whilst intelligent and quick-witted, he's fairly young and in many ways still naive.[/indent][/INDENT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=GRAY][INDENT]We're finally at that point where we address all of those questions of his origin!

What exactly [b]IS[/b] his real name?  Who is the Butler?  Who tampered with his memories?  Why have they been running all of these years?  Why the claustrophobia, and the nagging fears he sometimes gets?

There [b]ARE[/b] actal answers to these questions... and we're gonna get to 'em!

[COLOR=gray][color=lightgray][b]◼[/b][/color] Banjo suffers from claustraphobia, and has nightmares of being trapped in a confined space, with creeping darkness engulfing him.  Due to his memories being tampered with, he's unsure of why, and his struggles with it frustrate and anger him.  Unable to comprehend it, he views it as a confounding weakness in himself.

After five years he still struggles to sleep in the large beds provided by P.R.C.U, having spent his life sleeping in small single beds, cots, swags and with his own warmth.  He surrounds himself in a "nest" of his own clothes to try and counter it, but between the bed and the intermittent nightmares he seldom sleeps well.

Banjo has no means of contacting him.  He seems to just keep tabs on developments regarding Banjo and appears when something comes up.  Usually - let's face it - to reprimand him.

Alex was a late transferral to H.E.A.T Program after Hyperion's Attack.  Doesn't like bullies, and has started to grow into himself after a life of being "small for his age" (very late bloomer, grew 2 inches and added fifteen pounds in the last year).  Always viewed himself as 'Just little Alex' but started to think maybe, just maybe, he could be something more.

Some lofty dreams, huge comics fan.  His favourite hero is Superman, but has an in-depth knowledge of comics across the board.  May perhaps use comics too frequently in analogies and examples.  Well read in general.  All he really had in Onanole to keep him preoccupied was a book store called 'Poor Michael's Emporium'.

Somehow this relationship survives the turbulence of Banjo.  The pair have been together since briefly after their admission to P.R.C.U five years ago.  Calliope might be the only force in his life which can get him to lock in and take anything seriously.  They actually work together and off each other surprisingly well despite Banjo's oft heated temperament and Calli's frequently cold demeanour. 

Banjo has as yet made no efforts to propose, mostly because he's terrified of Calliope realising how long they've been together, and how much better than him she could do.[color=666666]▅
