Byron is typically sporting a pair of over the ear headphones, ready to listen to music whenever the spirit takes him.
Agile * Overconfident * Caring * Socially Anxious * Team Oriented * Risk Taker
Sexuality: Pansexual
Relationship Status: Single
Personality: Byron is a very family oriented person, knowing just how much the importance of family is. He takes this notion even further in his life by also acknowledging how important community is as a second family, and what's more, how important it is to take care of the community that matters most, our own ecosystem. His empathic abilities tend to make him more sensitive and caring towards the plight of those within the worlds ecosystem, devoting his time to public park clean ups, and other such activities that would help better mother nature.
Byron is a fun, loving, person who tries to take great care of those around him, even going so far as having a community garden to help feed those less fortunate. When he isnt being captain planet, Byron tends to be a bit silly and goofy. Always trying to lighten situations and make others laugh. Whether this is to make up for the harm hes caused as a mutant child or a product of his masters training is a bit unclear. His powers can make him feel powerful and scared, afraid he'll miscalculate his strength one day and potentially harm another person.

How did you discover your powers: Byron himself didnt discover his powers, so much as his parents did. His mother spent many nights listening to the South African rains, as it would soothe her unborn child. When Byron was finally born, there was said to be a great flood that ruined some habitats and killed many animals. His empathy for the life around him caused him to cry and wail uncontrollably as as an infant he didnt fully grasp what he was feeling. On tantrums such as that, his parents recorded gusts of wind blowing about the room, knocking over pillows and other light objects.
Now 10 years old, Byron has yet to fully display his powers since his infant hood. He practices gymnastics after school and spends his time at the gym with his parents keeping watch. Occasionally he senses the state of the world around him but passes it off as nothing more than a feeling, intuition if you will. One night while practicing his high bars, Byron swung up and grazed the bar, missing his grip, and falling downwards. Feaar struck deep within him as he went hurtling down, and for the first time in a long time, a gust of wind began to kick up beneath him, swirling and holding him in place as it gently let him down. His parents stood there in both wonder and horror, now fully realizing their child was a mutant and not wishing the community to treat him poorly.
General History: After the events of the gymnastics awakening, his parents feared that they would be unfit to raise their child, not knowing how to help him maintain control over them. They began to search for any clues or hints as to potential mutant teachers, shamans, sorcereresses, or priests that could help their child grow in the way he should naturally. They caught wind of a village priestess who was said to not only posses magic of her own, but also to have helped a child similar to Byron. Deciding he was worth the risk, the family drove the two day journey up to Kenya to meet with this Priestess Ainet and see what she could do for them.
Ainet confirmed what theyd heard about another child, but that was long ago. She offered them shelter in her Village so long as they needed, as well as lessons to help Byron control his outbursts of powers. From that moment on, his family would move to the village in Kenya to meet with Ainet, keeping Byron homeschool and having him practice Gymnastics on the weekends, and spending the weekday afternoons with his mutant tutor. This went on for some time until he caught a fever. The village was not fully equipped to handle such an illness and did what they could to help young Byron. As his temperature spiked, so too did the air in the surrounding areas. Heat began to take the village as some huts caught fire, the land dried up, and many villagers fell due to heat stroke.
Once the fever subsided, two villagers had already fallen dead due to the conditions. All though many took sympathy towards the child, they felt unsafe with how temperamental his abilities could be. Ainet, taking her village into account, offered to train the boy away from her village. However his parents refused, thanking her for all the help she has given and deciding not to risk others lives again. Dread began to fill the family as now they didnt know where to go, that is until they heard about the X-Men. America contained a group of mutant heros who all knew how to control and use their powers for good. So the trip to Washington D.C. was made, in hopes to have Byron learn from them, and attend their school if they had any.
Byron is now 28, his parents had moved back to Durban to be with his grandparents and family, and he spends his time working, practicing his gymnastics, and reading comic books. He always seemed to miss Xavier whenever he made an appearance. Then again, high profile mutants tended to be hard to reach. No, Byron was content with staying in America with his job, apartment, and comics of daring heros, waiting for the chance to be a part of something bigger.
