Known EVO Abilities (If Applicable):Sense ManipulationSTAGE ONE: [Enhanced Senses] - User senses of sight, taste, hearing, touch, and smell are glaringly, obviously and super/unnaturally more acute than their race. They can see kilometers away, see the faintest distinctions/track things too fast for the natural eye, hear through dense walls perfectly, listen to a sweat drop from someones face in another room, smell anything over wast distances; by combining smell and hearing one can tell if someone is lying, taste the smallest details; to the extent of molecular distinguishment, and feel the slightest vibration in the air and ground.
STAGE TWO: [Sense Focusing] - User can focus their senses to look for a particular sight/sound/smell/taste/feel and blocking out all others. By nullifying the remaining four senses, one can heighten a single sense to it's maximum potential. They can see at a subatomic level and through multiple spectrums, hear from miles away or use echolocation, smell someone's hormones, taste every single element in a bite of food, or feel vibrations deep in the earth and rub a hand on a piece of written paper and be able to read what it says like braille.STAGE THREE: [Sensory Deprivation] - User is able to numb/decrease the senses (sight, taste, hearing, feel and/or smell) of others temporarily. This power can be used for monetary distraction and decrease the senses to the point they are effectively nullified, having them completely lose all connection to the real world.STAGE FOUR: [Imperceptibility] - The user is totally imperceptible, and as such can in no way be detected or communicated with by another person. They cannot be physically perceived, and are invisible by smell, touch, vision, hearing, etc and give off no heat or leave any evidence of their presence, yet the space they occupy has no lack of it. To all senses, the user does not exist. Even though the user is completely invisible sensory wise, they can still be detected psychically and through technology i.e. cameras, x-ray, scans, sonars, etc.Psychological Profile & History:Manny was born an only child in Azusa, California to a Mexican mom and a Spanish father. After he was born, his father abandoned the both of them, leaving Manny's mother alone to raise a child. Times weren't always good. Manny's mother had to work two jobs to support the both of them and were on just about every type of government assistance program there was. There were often times that his mother contemplated suicide because she couldn't handle the stress with raising a child on her own. Often than not, Manny would be left at his grandmother's house while she would be gone days at a time to find herself. One thing is for certain though; Manny's mother did love her son.
When Manny was 8 years old, his mother met a man and began dating him. It wasn't before long that she married him and he moved in. He had a very decent job and she was happy there was a man to help support the two of them. However things only got worse from there. Manny's now stepfather turned out to be an abusive alcoholic who would beat both him and his mother. He would degrade them verbally when he was intoxicated and made their lives hell. Manny's mother felt she couldn't leave him because they had no way of financially supporting them on her own and she felt in too deep with her husband. This abuse carried out until Manny was 15 years old when he had enough. This was the time Manny came out to his mom about being gay. His stepfather overheard and beat him for it, calling him every type of homophobic slur there was. He packed his bags and ran away to live with his grandmother, leaving his mom alone with that man. He loved his mom, but he couldn't be under the roof with that man any longer. Not to mention people at school were noticing Manny would come in with bruises frequently.
It only took a few months with his grandmother for his mother to come to her senses. She refused to put a man over her son and decided to flee to be with her son. She filed a police report and divorced her husband soon after. Because of this experience, Manny felt obligated to start a group at his school where everyone could share similar stories. He was the head of the GSA club and became an activist against bullying and abuse. Things started to get better and Manny soon graduated high school at 18 and went to community college cosmetology.
Manny had always had a fascination with makeup and wanted to use it to make others look beautiful. He studied cosmetic makeup and also began doing SFX work since he was a big fan of horror movies growing up. Around this time is when he began going to 18 and up bars in West Hollywood and discovered the art of drag. He started using his makeup skills to create a character who was queen of the night and gore. She was known as Dahlia Deranged. After booking many amateur shows, Manny became a well known drag queen all over Los Angeles and was known as the spooky, pretty queen who looked stunning as a man and as a woman. Now at age 22, Manny has gone on to be well known makeup artist/SFX artist in the mainstream industry as well as a well known drag queen in the country. He plans on going to New York for few weeks for work. Although through all of this, he's been holding a huge secret for a few months.
First Known Manifestation (If applicable):During a show at Rage in West Hollywood, Manny had become real dizzy while performing on stage. He tried to fight through the nausea and keep performing as a rush of things he's never felt before began to bombard his brain. After he finished his show, he went backstage to throw up in the bathroom. Just as he came up for air, his ears began to ring as the sound amplified all around him. He was able to hear what was going on outside of the club. The stench of his vomit intensified and could literally smell every content of the alcohol he drank. His vision kept zooming in and out as he tried to leave the bathroom stall. All of his senses were being amplified at once and it was overloading his brain. Manny soon passed out from the pain and woke up in his friend's apartment with a huge hangover. He could vaguely remember what happened the night before. However after a few hours, his senses began to act up again. He kept receiving voicemails from some guy named Mohinder Suresh saying they needed to get into contact immediately. Something about evolution. Manny was in too much pain to really care what anyone thought. After a few weeks, it started happening more frequently to where he could get a better handle on his new abilities. He remembered when he was younger about a girl who fell from a Ferris wheel at a carnival and said there were people out there who were special. Also more and more people had began coming out that they had special powers. Manny never thought that it was truly real until now. However because of the dangerous people out there who hunt people like them, he decided to stay silent.
