Name: Damien Jones
Alias: Apex
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Height: 6'8"
History: For the first fourteen years of his life, things were normal for Damien. He was a normal teenager going to school, playing sports and spending times chasing after girls he could never hope to seduce. Several days after his fifteenth birthday Damien began to change, hearing voices clear as day when he was on his own. It didn't take him long to realise that it was his parents who to his shock were in a completely different part of the house. As the days passed he got more used to it and was able to block out the excess noise. However, during a moment when his father was telling him off, he turned to walk away and thinking every expletive under sun. His father grabbed hold of him and smacked his backside raw. After the event Damien realised he must have reversed what had been happening to him.
The weeks went by and Damien, although worried about the way mutants were being sought out within the UK, decided to confide in his closest friend. Isabelle was his own age and the two first spoke at a heavy metal concert even though they had been in the same class in school since they were kids. She was truly the best friend he had, more like a sister than anything else. With her help he soon mastered his telepathic abilities and was able to freely communicate and listen to whoever he wanted in his vicinity.
By time six months had passed things started to become very difficult. His skin began to harden and his body shape was beginning to change at a rapid rate. He tried to hide it as best he could but it wasn't long before the changes became clear from beneath baggy clothes and hoods. One night he snuck to Isabelles house and showed her what was happening. Appendages were beginning to form over his shoulders and the shape of his eyes was drastically different. She broke down and threw her arms around him before giving him a kiss on the cheek. She told him of a sanctuary on the island of Genosha where people were free to live as they pleased, mutants and humans alike. As he moved to say goodbye he felt his throat beginning to change and the words soon became gutteral growls. Using his telepathy he spoke to Isabelle but was soon stunned silent as she raised her hand, crafting a ball of electricity in it. She confessed that she had been afraid to admit to him of her own mutant powers and together they agreed that Genosha was the best bet. They both left heartfelt notes to their parents with explanations of why they were going with promises of letters.
As the years passed by the mutation took full hold of Damien and his human appearance disappeared behind a terrifying alien like appearance. He was however accepted into Genosha like everyone else, soon settling well with the other mutants who had severe visual mutations. Eventually after their twenty first birthdays, each was given the option to choose or be given an alias. Isabelle chose the name Arc which was apt given her almost Zeus like ability to throw bolts of electricity. Damien however was never good with naming things and was thus given the name Apex by one of the science officers. His natural abilities and adaptations had made him a dangerous predator and the scientist had spotted that.
Isabelle and Damien are still close, she opted for a role within the Genosha science division while Damien took a place within the military division.
Personality: With the loss of his vocal chords his personality is only ever transmitted across through his telepathic thoughts. Before his transformation he was often blunt and straight to the point and if his voice still remained, this would still be the case for the most part. Although he has softened to others as he has gotten older and shows greater empathy than he ever did before his mutation.
