X-Men: The New Era

Nathan Maddox

Name: Nathaniel Maddox

Nicknames/Aliases: Nathan, Nate

X-Men Code Name: Siphon

Gender: Male

Age: 20

Physical Description: Tall but slightly lanky, Nathan is still quite the physical specimen; he isn't jacked or really even all that athletically built but at 6'6" and with naturally thicker bones than the average person he can come off as imposing if not a little standoffish just from his appearance alone. He normally wears hoodies or jackets because despite being hot natured he feels more "comfortable" in them, even though that's mostly a psychological thing. Preferably he wears loose fitting, dark colored jeans or cargo pants and all around prefers comfort over fashion.

Mutations: Nathan's X Gene gives him the ability to siphon energy out of anything that he touches. He can drain batteries and other electrical things, absorb nuclear radiation, consume flames, and even siphon the very "vitality" out of human beings. Under extreme circumstances Nathan had been known to "Purge" the absorbed energy out of him in blasts, but he doesn't have control over this ability at this time.

Personality: Nathan's a little...socially awkward. Before coming to the Institute he was a home-school only child being raised in an "interesting" family environment; so this will really be his first experience living outside of his childhood home with completely unknown people. It's going to be interesting to say the least. It's also worth noting that Nathan suffers from psychological issues and an intense anxiety disorder, but with the proper medication things can be kept under control.

Background: Since he's more or less a glorified NPC I think I'm going to explore revealing this solely in game and see how that plays out.

Recap of your mutations awakening: All I'm going to say for now is that it wasn't good...He's ashamed of what he is and honestly doesn't know how to handle everything right now. He's overwhelmed, scared, guilty, and feels like a danger to himself and to others. The rest I'll reveal in game :).

I have a lot more that I would normally add but I think that it will be cool to reveal things slowly over time through the actual RP.

@Burning Kitty PM me your concept / what you're wanting to do and we'll see if we can't make it work :D.

X-Men: The New Era

@Burning Kitty As far as temporarily siphoning powers from other mutants i'd say that's fine. As long as you start out fairly small with it and tweak it a bit to make it your own.

@Lady of Lore @SirSqueakalot91 @Protoman @Heathen @Ultimate Spidey @shylarah

If everyone who's still interested would head over to the OOC and post a place holder for your CS Application so that I may know how many to expect that would be fantastic :). Thanks everyone, I'm really excited to see all of the characters and get this started.
