History:
"I'm not letting him join your goddamn X-Men!" Emily Garrick said, her face stern and angry. She could not let him do this, considering that mutants are being hunted day and night by those villainous Equalists. She wasn't going to loose Taylor as well. She calmed herself down, and realized. What would Jason would've want for him? And she sighed, he'd want for Taylor to make his own choice.

Waking up at twelve years old, in an alleyway with newspapers and trash while being hated by humanity is something no one would want to go through. Yet this child did, his mother and father had left him to die on the streets once they had seen his powers. There is such a hollow void in his mind, something was always missing, the blurry memories were all he had. The boy wanted to know them, he always had. The boy had always had an serious expression when he was little.

He grew up on the streets, with no one to support him. He stole food, shoplifted candy or clothes, about doing anything he could to survive. It was rough, sure but it kept him alive, and his ability to jump high helped him when it came to stealing or finding food. It was a hard life, but he never complained. He could've been dead, but he was still here.

After a year of their marriage, Emily and Jason Garrick had wanted a child, unfortunately they tried but they couldn't. They believed in equality for mutants and humans. So when they found the unnamed dirty blonde preteen  that had the ability to jump higher than the average human, they had adored him, not caring of his abilities. They adopted him and gave him the name Taylor Jason Garrick. And they treated him like he was their actual son. And now he had something to fill those blurry memories with.

His secondary mutant power had became active when he was being jumped by a group of thugs. He was walking home from his high school, since his foster parents wanted him to have a good education, and was attacked and almost killed. These thugs wanted his wallet, and he had said no. As soon as he was on the ground, and threw one off of him into a wall by just struggling, they ran off. And he had realized that he had super strength.

Taylor and his parents were happy. Unfortunately, good things don't last. Jonas, Taylor's father was hit by an car when walking down the road. The car was speeding, and Jason had no time to see it. The driver kept on driving, and was never caught, at least yet. They tried to save him in the hospital, but couldn't. This changed Taylor into the way he is now.

It didn't take a long amount of time after his father's death for the group of mutants fighting for the right cause known as the X-Men, noticed Taylor's incredible abilities and wanted to recruit him. Taylor wanted to make a difference in the world, and like his father said. It was his choice.

And what was his answer? Yes. 


 Appearance:
Taylor, for a young man like himself, has a very decent body build. A decent six pack. He has dirty blonde hair, if it was any darker it would be brown. His eyes are a pale green, and his height is about 6'1". The teenager weighs about 183 lbs, around the average weight for a 19 year old male. His hair is always short, his sideburns usually being a darker blonde than the rest of his hair.

His eyebrows are also about the same color as his sideburns. The right side of his shoulder seems to be a stab wound, from the day he was jumped. He also has two tiny slash marks on his chest, from the same fight. He does also seem to have some bruises, it seems to be the only marks he has on his body.

His body build seems to be the equivalent of an athlete. A very slim build, but with a good enough amount of muscle. He would be considered a very handsome teenager to society, if he wasn't a Mutant of course.


Powers:
Taylor has the ability to jump high, and somewhat fast. Simulating a mini-rocket going up in the air, which is the reason Rocket is his codename. He can reach many distances, and has even climbed up a building with jumping only 7 times. This is obviously something the natural human could never do. He can sort of climb buildings by jumping on the wall, going in the air, and jumping up again to repeat the process, sort of like bouncing sideways. He can also charge his jumps, making him go even higher than normal. This can be a problem though, considering it takes up a lot of stamina, depending on how high the jump. Somehow, gravity doesn't affect him when he lands back on the ground.

He also has super strength. He can punch through walls, and break one of the opponent's ribs with a good punch. He can pick up objects like an car, or an lamp post. But this would be the equivalent to picking up a long dumbbell without any help. If he's rather angry, his super strength could be amplified a little to the point where can tap glass and a big crack would appear, and if he'd tap it harder, it would full shatter. This goes well with his super jumps, he could dig his hands into the wall like a pickaxe going into rock, helping him climb up if he slips. He basically has the standard super strength abilities.





Personality:
Taylor isn't the average irresponsible, non-caring teenager. Matter of fact, he's the exact opposite of that. He cares a lot about his friends, family, or lovers. He seems to be goodhearted and wants equality just like his parents. He's a nice, but interesting person. He can be a laid-back, sometimes a very big smart ass, but overall a nice guy to know. He can be serious when he needs to though. 

He is friendly the other people, even though he can be a little awkward. He doesn't just instantly make friends though, and rather waits and gets gets to know them a little bit before actually making friends with them. He likes to study people before he befriends them.

He is rather troubled because of his history, but he usually hides it. The way he was living before his foster parents found him was rather nightmarish for him. Not to mention he can barely remember anything before he woke up once in the street. Not to mention he acts emotionally distant about anything sad to him, like his father's death.

He's not sure about what sexuality he is, and seems asexual, when he isn't. He's just confused, he doesn't know if he likes a guy or girl, or both. Which makes his love life a little bit complicated, considering he has never had a boyfriend or girlfriend. This is something he would like to explore.

He's not much of a interesting person, but he does seem to have potential. He follows orders, and will cooperate with teammates, even if he doesn't like that certain teammate.

Welcome To The Black Parade - My Chemical Romance
"When I was a young boy
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band

He said son when, you grow up
Will you be, the savior of the broken
The beaten and the damned

He said will you defeat them
Your demons and all the non-believers
The plans they have made

Because one day I'll leave you
A phantom to lead you in the summer
To join the black parade

Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching over me
And other times I feel like I should go
Through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets
When you're gone we want you all to know

We'll carry on
We'll carry on
Though your dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And in my heart I can't contain it
The anthem won't explain it

And we will send you reeling from decimated dreams
Your misery and hate will kill us all
So paint it black and take it back
Lets shout it loud and clear
Do you fight it to the end
We hear the call to
To carry on
We'll carry on
Though your dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
You're weary widow marches on
And on we carry through the fears
Ooh oh oh

Disappointed faces of your peers
Ooh oh
Take a look at me 'cause I could not care at all
Do or die
You'll never make me
'Cause the world, will never take my heart
Though you try, you'll never break me
We want it all, we wanna play this part
Won't explain or say I'm sorry
I'm not ashamed, I'm gonna show my scar
Give a cheer for all the broken
Listen here, because it's only
I'm just a man, I'm not a hero
Just a boy, who's meant to sing this song
Just a man, I'm not a hero
I, don't, care

Carry on
We'll carry on
Though your dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
You'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
You're wiry widow marches on
We'll carry on
We'll carry on"
