Room for one more? I already have a giy in mind. DONE Name: Jason Ryan Alias: None right now Age: 19 Position in School: Student Appearance: [img]http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lonnu90HfF1qkspsro1_400.jpg[/img] Personality traits: Jason use to always have a joke or try to make everyone around him smile. He felt like he had to. However the war changed all of this. Now he is quiet and with drawn. He very rarely smiles anymore and does not laugh. He wakes up screaming in the night in a cold sweat. He is scared of noises but will not let this affect him. He is fighting an internal battle with himself everyday and it does not seem to be working. Powers: Ice manipulation: Jason can freeze the water in the air and use it to attack his opponents. He has a few ways of doing this. His favorite is to cover his hands in ice and punch his opponents. It adds a lot of damage but can be stopped if the ice is melted before it connects. He can not yet control how the ice forms and usually it grows out of his skin, so his hands are covered in scars. However he can also fire the ice at his opponents. They do not freeze them, not yet. However they do hurt and it can travel aboyt the distance of a football field. He cannot make long parts of ice to slide on but he can trip up his foes if he moves quick enough. Eventually he will be able to cover himself in ice to protect himself from pain. Skills: Jason is quite competent at fighting without his powers. He is no master but he can handle himself. He was trained by his father in boxing and wrestling. He can take a punch and give it back just as well for as long as a normal person would. Jason also plays the piano since it calms his powers down. History: Jason was born in New York City. He never knew his knew parents since for some reason, they had abandoned him when he was four. He was found on the street by a human named Chris Ryan. The man took the child in and raised properly. Jason was raised in Brooklyn among a lot of criminals and mob bosses. It was a tough childhood but it shaped Jason into the man who he was to be. Jason still speaks with a slight Brooklyn accent and tries to get back home when he can, if he can. Jason began to show his powers at the age of 11 when he froze a neighbor's cat to a wall. He told his father and the man chose to help Jason control his new powers. Course it was not all that easy since it was a bizarre power. They manged to learn that he was able to control it based off of his emotions and how he was feeling. If he was angry, for example, his blasts would be wild and not really work all that well. He also taught his son how to fight since he did not want the boy to be bullied. Jason found that he liked to fight and got involved in a few of the local fights in his neighborhood. He still to this day likes to fight with his fists more than his powers. For most of his life, he worked on the street running odd jobs for numerous different people. He ran numbers for the different bookies and only used his powers when he could use it to help himself. Usually he would use it to take out some thug that was giving him trouble or mouthing off to him or one of his friends. Things were fine until he turned seventeen. Jason decided that he was tired of all of his friends going off to the war, while he stayed at home. So he went to the recruitment office and faked his age to get into the Marines. He was young an foolish, thinking that the war would give him the glory he so desired. These fantasies died hard when he was sent to the Normandy landings. There he watched his friends get gunned down in mass and he only barely made it to the beach himself. He was then stationed through out France going through out the whole Theater managing to get through it with out being killed. In 1945 he was sitting in a foxhole somewhere in the middle of Europe watching for troop movements one day. As he walked with his partner, the other man shoved him to the ground. Jason looked up in time to see the man get shot through the head by a sniper's bullet. This affected Jason more than anything he had seen so far. That bullet had been meant for him and he knew it. Luckily for him, his time in Europe was over. The Army sent him home with nothing more than a pat on the back. He would wake up screaming in the night and this caused his powers to go wild. He would jump at the slightest loud noise and always be watching behind his back. Then he met Charles Xavier. He promised he could help him both with his powers and with his nightmares. Jason instantly agreed because anyone who could give him both of that would be worth it to him.
