[center][color=red][h2]All right, let’s take it from the top, one more time…[/h2][/color]

[color=FFFFFF][b]What’s your name?[/b]
[color=0072bc]Alan Maxwell [/color]

[b]How old are you?[/b]
[color=0072bc]20. I'm kinda in that weird time where you're no longer a kid, or even a teenager, but not quite an full-fledged adult yet.[/color]

[b]What do you look like?[/b]

[b]What did you do before the Recluse incident?[/b]
[color=0072bc]I'll do my best not to sound like a whiner or that I'm milking sympathy but I'd be lying if I said life has been easy for me and my Mom. You see, when I  was a kid, my Dad walked out the door on us both and we never saw or heard from him again. No phone calls, no birthday cards, not even a paycheck for child  care. Needless to say, I've never quite forgiven him for that...or the grief he caused my Mother.

Anyways, this forced my Mom to work some less-than-ideal jobs to make ends meet, not helped by the fact she herself  had grown up in a  rather dysfunctional family whom were rather "hands off" when it came to offering aid or sympathy. I did my part to help, like  working hard in school and learning to do certain menial tasks like cleaning and doing the dishes so she didn't have to do them the days she came home exhausted. Heck, when I was old enough, I took up the first part-time job I could to make some extra cash for us.

However, I'd be lying if I said I was some shining paragon as I did do some things growing up that I'm not entirely proud of. Like one time, a mugger tried to steal my mom's wallet and when he laid his hands on her...I snapped and broke his jaw with a few solid punches. The police said the only reason I wasn't doing juvie was cause the guy was a repeat offender and couldn't afford a lawyer.  

That said, word of these situations got out and...let's just say I didn't have too many friends growing up and leave it at that. Some folks even treating me like I was a ticking time bomb that would go off if you so much as looked at him wrong.

Around the time of my high-school graduation though things were finally looking up. By some miracle, my Mom got a better job in New York and we moved there to start over. It was quite a change but I like to think I handled it well enough.

However, that's when the Recluse Incident happened...[/color]

[b]What happened after the incident?[/b]
[color=0072bc]Well, I recall falling very sick...ok, if I'm being totally honest? It was like my own body hated me and wanted me dead. Thankfully, at some point, I lost consciousness and ended up awakening in the hospital several days later. To my utter shock, I didn't feel sick anymore. If anything, I felt...fine. Better than fine actually. I felt...Strong. Healthy. Better than I had felt in literal ages. Heck, I was even showing signs of gaining actual abs on me. Not only that, but I quickly realized I had perfect vision too, among other...benefits.

Somehow, I had managed the impossible...and gained actual superpowers. Like, genuine powers that you would see in the comic books. And that's when it really hit me that the world I knew, for better or for worse, was now gone forever. This impossible new world I had awoken to...it WAS my reality now.

As for what happened from there? Well...I guess we'll just have to find out together, won't we?

Bio-Feedback:  Alan has total control of his body and its functions, all the way down to the cellular level. Although he is only just starting to fully grasp how it works, it's clear it has a massive amount of untapped potential. He can control his metabolism, his own heartbeat, purge poisons and toxins from his system, numb his pain receptors, boost his self-healing, even alter his appearance and voice. And all this barely
even scratches the surface of what he'll eventually be capable of...

[b]Do you believe in aliens?[/b]
[color=0072bc]I love Sci-fi and we do live in but one tiny corner of a seemingly infinite cosmos. As such, I think it's ignorant of us to think we're the only intelligent life-forms in existence.[/color]

[b]What are your goals for the future?[/b]
[color=0072bc] I've got a couple goals in mind, to be honest. I've always wanted to open up my own bakery and provide food at an affordable price for those in need. However, now that I got these powers I feel like I can do even more than I ever could've before. Like maybe see if I can't incorporate this into my original plan...and maybe even go find the bastard who set off that bomb and get some answers...by force if I feel it's needed. 

...A lot of good people died that day...and I survived. Part of me can't help feeling like I gotta make sure those deaths don't go un-avenged. 

[/color]
[b]You lived in New York for a while now, right? What do you think of the city?[/b]
[color=0072bc]I've only lived here a few months or so  but I gotta say it's pretty nice so far. It definitely could do with some "cleaning up" here and there but I can certainly think of much worse places to live. Namely the town my Mom and I used to live in. Total pigsty that place was. [/color]

[b]How much technology do you use on a daily basis?[/b]
[color=0072bc]A fair amount. Some may even say a bit more than I should. I try not to take it to a crazy extent but I do sometimes find people are more reasonable and open-minded in the online world than those you find in the real world. As crazy as that may sound to some folks. [/color]

[b]What do you like?[/b]
[color=0072bc]-My Mom
-Computers
-Comics
-Biology (Even moreso thanks to my powers)
-Gaming
-Cleaning
-Cooking (I find this and Cleaning surprisingly calming)[/color]

[b]What do you dislike?[/b]
[color=0072bc]-Corruption
-My deadbeat father
-Jokes In Poor Taste
-Curfews
-Having my sleep interrupted
-Tapioca Pudding
-Leftovers getting thrown out
-My Mom's dysfunctional family[/color]

[b]Do you think true evil exists?[/b]
[color=0072bc]I do. Although I'm very much aware that the line between right and wrong isn't always a clear one, there are certain things in this world that are so horrific they can only be the product of someone who only lives to make others suffer. Whose only means of satisfaction is inflicting pain onto others and show no remorse or guilt for said atrocities. Who even go so far as to JUSTIFY said atrocities. That, in my eyes, is true evil.

[b]What’s your favorite color?[/b]
[color=0072bc]Blue. Not sure why you needed to know that but there ya go.[/color]

[b]Favorite song?[/b]
Will Figure This Out Later.

[b]Anything else to add?[/b]
[color=0072bc]I sometimes like to make little arts and crafts and sell them on the street corner. Some of my teachers insisted I go into a field relating to science as they noticed my talent at the stuff but I'm on the fence about it at the moment. Especially after the Recluse Incident.[/color]

[b]What are your thoughts on these people?[/b]

[color=662d91]Alexander "Xander" Lee: Eaten at his grandparents chinese place a few times. It's good food and Xander seems like a decent guy. I wonder if I should ask him for a few self-defense lessons...[/color]

[color=fff79a]Lindy Audrum: Not gonna lie, that girl scares me sometimes. Seriously, she looks like she could make my head explode like a grape just by squeezing it. That said, her frequent stops to pick up goodies has led me to start seeing her as not all that bad.[/color]
