”Did someone say I look hipster?”
Name: Copen Thorsen
Age: 17
Height; Weight: 6,4”, 160lbs
Stripes: 11
Reason for Admission: - Numerous incidents of theft. He was eventually caught when trailed after stealing a cellphone off of a display. The security guard couldn’t believe his eyes when the girl shifted back into a tall, blond teenager. After he was caught, a stash of stolen items was found in Copen’s bedroom by the police, who were now aware of his powers.
- Impersonation. Copen thought it was funny when he made out with a classmate as her boyfriend, only to shift back into himself and shock her. He’d done it a couple of times to some others, in fact. By now, the police knew of his powers – and suddenly, this was, ‘sexual harassment…’
Puh-lease, they certainly enjoyed my extensive kissing skills at the time. The stealing and impersonation happened around the same time, and the government realized the danger if this kid continued spiraling downward.
Years Admitted: 3
Special Abilities: Copen is a human shapeshifter. He can take the form of whoever he pleases – with a catch. His body mass has to stay the same. To get around this, he might replicate someone as slightly taller or larger than usual. He would be a very chubby six-year-old, for example.
Physical Strength:In his normal form, Copen isn’t strong. He’s quite slender and has coltish limbs that he’s slightly self-conscious of. However, he isn’t really bothered to put the work in to become stronger – he prefers to run. Copen is quite cardio fit, and has nicely toned legs despite them being slim.
However, he is able to shift into a muscular person if he so wishes. They won’t be tall though – muscle weighs quite a bit – and this can be a disadvantage in a fight. He refers to it as, “Wolverine mode.” Minus the claws.
Mental Strength: Copen isn’t clever. He really isn’t. He’s a bit of an airhead, to be honest – it’s why he was caught so easily. Who could resist the looks on people’s faces when they found out about him? He’s a bit narcissistic, too. He’s forever fixing his hair and straightening his clothes. Underneath this though, he does care about other people and has a soft heart.
Copen is happy-go-lucky, tending not to worry about ‘unimportant,’ things. He’s usually smiling that slight-too-big-for-his-face smile, and laughing rather loudly. He’s also flirtatious and open to hook-ups – but occasionally obsessive over a girl he really likes.
Weaknesses:- With his good looks and charm getting him most of the way in life, Copen sometimes finds himself very stuck when it doesn’t work on people. He gets frustrated quite easily and isn’t exactly a problem solver so much as a problem maker.
- His narcissism can sometimes blind him to how he appears to others – usually along the lines of annoying.
- Electrical shocks will ‘turn off’ his shifting.
Restrained?: To an extent
Details: Copen is allowed to shift freely, but still has a restraint. It changes size to fit him when he shifts, and is tightly bound without being restricting. If it is suspected that he is impersonating a person of authority, it can be remotely activated to shock him and turn him back - with his skin turning blue, for some weird reason. His shifts will be blue if he tries again, too. If he tries continuously to shift after an hour of being shocked for it, there will be continuous shocks – with the threat of his heart stopping if it happens too much, he has been warned.
Background Info: ~ Raised by average, ‘normal,’ family in the rather boring suburbs. Only child. Boring boring boring. Mother and father are skilled Danish immigrants.
~ Popular, well-liked at school amongst peers, not so much amongst teachers – caused mischief.
~ Powers came into being at around age 12. Mucked around with them for innocent fun and attention.
~ Things got boring again, he decided to start doing more daring stunts. Impersonating teachers at school (
"school’s out for the day!"), stealing and more nefarious impersonation for ‘action’ he wouldn’t otherwise get.
~ Caught at age 14 with numerous crimes against his name. Decided that he should go to the school for rehabilitation.
Interests: ~ Himself
~ Beer (alcohol in general, really)
~ Girls
~ Parties
~ Dancing. This boy has the skills to foxtrot and waltz his way into a girl’s heart, weirdly enough.
Other: He speaks both Danish and English fluently due to his heritage – although the Danish doesn’t come in too useful. The glasses are just for show; he doesn't need them.
