[b]Mutant Ability: [/b] Adrien uses "Lay of Hands" to draw poisons, illnesses, diseases, injuries and any other malaise out of the victim's body. He must have physical contact with the victim in order for this to work. Once he performs "Lay of Hands," he becomes physically depleted and must rest. As he grows older, the amount of time needed to recover from this fatigue diminishes. 

Unknown to Adrien, he has a reverse ability, "Death of Hands". Any malaise Adrien has drawn out of any number of victims is stored as energy. Adrien may use "Death of Hands" to transfer the malaise into a target. He must have physical contact with the target for this to work. So far, this side of his ability has not manifested in Adrien. Given his moral compass, this ability may come with a terrible price for Adrien.

[b]Personality and History: [/b] Adrien Timoshenko is a good-natured young man. He is positive, upbeat, generous, and quiet. He prefers to take on the role of the observer, silently watching the activities of others. He is the quintessential "Observer". He is not prone to anger and is very comfortable with himself. He cares for people and is willing to help others when he sees a need. His moral compass points toward good. He likens himself to a Paladin of midievel age, but associates his ability with [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grigori_Rasputin]Grigori Rasputin[/url]

Adrien's family immigrated to the United States ten years ago when he was eight years old. His father died in an industrial fire at the factory where he worked outside Moscow. His mother, Nika worked as a physician in a hospital on Moscow. When her husband died, she was struck with grief and felt it necessary to leave Russia.

The Timoshenkos ended up in Albany, NY. Nika could not be employed as a physician in the US as her credentials were not transferrable from Russia to the US. She trained as an Emergency Medical Technician and currently works as an EMT for a local ambulance company.

Regina, Adrien's 16-year old sister took the loss of her father the hardest. She has been morose and quiet ever since his death. She wears black and takes on a Gothic appearance with dark eyes, multiple piercings and tattoos. As a teen, she is rebellious and does her own thing. Nika is very worried for her daughter, believing trouble is waiting for her around every corner. Adrien also, is concerned for his sister and tries to watch over her when he is able. 

Adrien discovered his healing ability at age 11. It was a surprise. He healed his sister who fell ill from Bronchial pneumonia. While she lay in her bed near death, Adrien draped his hands across her torso as he wept. He prayed to God and wished for her to become well. A faint wisp of orange colored light emanated at the point of contact between the siblings. It was as though a transfer of energy occurred passing the illness from sister to brother.

The illness passed as energy into Adrien making him very tired. He immediately fell asleep. In the morning, Gina awoke healthy wondering why her brother fell asleep on the floor next to her bed. When he woke up, he was happy to see his sister alive and well. He initially believed he was not responsible for her health. It would be another two years before that realization hit.

His mother was traumatically injured in a motor vehicle accident. Nika was in a coma and suffered two broken legs and a fractured pelvis. He found himself in a similar position as with his sister two years earlier and once again, he cured his mother of her injuries. When she awoke, her bones had seemingly mended themselves. She awoke to find her 13-year old son asleep in the chair by her hospital bed.

Adrien told his mother what had happened. He was elated with his gift. He doubted himself, and practiced what he saw infrequently over the next year. His mother knew he needed to be with other children like him. Nika was interested in Xavier's School, which had shut down for some time. When she heard that the school was re-opening, she enrolled her soon as soon as possible. 

[b]Extra: [/b] While a student at Xavier's Institute for Gifted Youngsters, Adrien helps out in the school's infirmary. Over the past five years he has cured five people of cancer and repaired several fractures amongst the student body and faculty. Although he is widely known at the school, the faculty and staff have maintained discretion to insure Adrien is not well known outside the school.
