"Life doesn't need to hand me lemons. I can just make them myself."Name:Daniel Aiden Green
Nicknames/Aliases:Danny
X-Men Code Name:Chlorophyll
Gender:Male
Age:18
Physical Description:When you first look at Danny, he might seem like he doesn't really bring anything to the table as far as athleticism goes but he can definitely hold his own. The boy has a slender to average figure with muscular lines showing on his shoulders and torso which indicates that he's no athlete but he does enough to stay fit. Most of his curves seem to be on the lower half of his body, having bigger thighs and a bigger butt than most boys his size. It's nothing over the top, but he has more of a female shape if one sees him from behind. He's average height being approximately 5'10 and weighs about 140 pounds, but he doesn't exactly weigh himself everyday. Moving away from his stature, his features are what really define him starting with his natural phoenix red hair. He tends to get mad when people all him a ginger since his hair is more of an auburn color than orange and doesn't have any other features that a typical ginger person would have. However, his hair is his most notable feature next to his eyes which are a piercing green color which tend to glow when he's using his power to an extreme. He has average to above average attractiveness about him that he doesn't really see he has. His features are more on the pretty side than handsome which prompts the names "twink" or "flower child" to be thrown his way that don't really bother him. Lastly, he's not exactly the most tannest individual. Even though he's required to get plenty of sunlight, his skin betrays that aspect as he looks like a typical white boy when in fact he's half Hispanic. Overall, he has a very decent appearance with some moderate sex appeal, but it isn't anything to make anyone awestruck.
As far as his clothes, he always wears things that are not from animals due to him being vegan. All of his clothes are either cotton, polyester, or some other type of plant or synthetic material. He'll tend to wear things from American Apparel, Urban Outfitters, or Forever 21. He achieves more of a hipster and preppy look but with more fashion as he makes sure he's up to date with current trends. However with anything he decides to wear, he'll always have something green on which is more of a signature item because of his ability.
Mutations: Plant Manipulation - Danny is a powerful chlorokinetic who can grow, animate, and manipulate all plant life. He can create, shape and manipulate plants, including wood, vines, plants, even moss and (for practical reasons) fungus, and parts of the plants, such as leaves, seeds, fruits and flowers. Danny can cause plants to grow, move/attack or even rise from the soil and "walk", mutate plants by rearranging DNA structure and revive withered or dead plants. Danny can "speak" to plants and use their power for defense and support by growing them from the ground and make them sprout seeds/fruits/berries. He can even use plant chemicals to heal people or objects or manipulate their properties for a wide range of effects. He tends to use his knowledge of Botony to achieve this as average plant movers are unable to do this. Though he is more of a passive user of this ability, he can deal a series of offensive techniques on a target. Using the plants as weapons enables him to grasp and strike continuously with vines and roots, project thorns at a distance, and quickly regenerate the withering weapons at the his will. Danny can make vines grow and climb around a targets, causing choking/squeezing, or even strike with plants. It is unknown how powerful his plant abilities can go. Not only can he manipulate plants, but he can manipulate the toxins and pheromones they carry. He can make subtle moves by poisoning, paralysis, or inducing sleep to other people depending on the plants.
Contaminant Immunity - Danny can neutralize all existing detrimental contaminants in his body. His immunity, digestive, and other organ systems are enhanced or evolved far beyond that of a normal human's. Danny is completely immune to every form of contaminant known to man. He is immune to all known poisons, toxins, venoms, viruses, bacteria, alcohol, radiation, drugs, gases, and diseases. Basically his body is completely healthy and he is unable to get sick from any contaminants.
Weaknesses:With controlling plants and basically nature itself, there is sure to be drawbacks. Yes nature is a powerful force, but plants are very fragile in nature. Harsh weather conditions such as ice, heat, and even electricity can easily harm vegetation and reduce it to withering nothingness. A lot of the times, Danny must be in the right climate for his powers to even work. If he's in an area with harsh blizzards, most plants he can make will be unable to grow there, same with him being in the tropics, a desert, etc. He would only be able to grow plants native to that area that can actually sprout from that ground. That's why he prefers to be in a moderate environment where he has more freedom with his powers. Also, it takes a lot of energy and concentration to make several plants and vegetation. He is limited like all mutants to what he can create so if he strains to much, he'll suffer from nosebleeds to headaches to unconsciousness. However one of his most significant weaknesses is his body himself. Prior to his X-Gene manifesting, he suffered from a skin diseases that hindered him from going out into the sun. Now a mutant, his diagnosis seemed to have reversed. Yes he is a immune to every contaminant, but he suffers from one. His body is like a plant. He needs more water and sunlight than the average human. If he doesn't achieve this, his skin will turn an ugly green color, he'll get sick and possibly die if not exposed to water or sunlight for too long.
Personality:Danny likes to keep to himself most of the time if he's not preaching his views on global warming and protecting the environment. If he's in an area where he doesn't know anyone, he'll stay quiet and people will assume he's shy which is not really the case. It takes him awhile to get to know someone and get comfortable around him. This kind of makes it hard for him to make friends off the bat, but ends up becoming a good one when given the chance. Because he was home-schooled most of his life due to his previous medical condition, he didn't really have that much interaction with other kids his age. It took his time to get to know the current trends and the "hippest" things to say. After awhile, he seemed to fit in with everyone just fine, but he tends to revert back to his sociopathic tendencies every so often as it isn't something you can get rid of easily. Most of the time, he is that one person in social situations that sit back and listen rather than put in his own two cents unless asked to. He'll just nod occasionally and judge quietly but never out loud. He's more of a passive aggressive person than anything and is an expert shade thrower which he learned fluently from the LGBT+ community. Speaking of which, he tends to get a bit odd when he does speak to people. Not odd in a bad way, but he tends to flirt with people without really knowing it. It could be with a man or a woman, gay or straight, he'll flirt with them. He doesn't really realize he's doing it unless someone tells him. He tries to stop, but its something he's working on. It's probably just the seductive tone he speaks in which leads people to believe this.
Then there's the other side of him. Danny is a devout Vegan and tree hugger who makes it his life mission to protect the Earth. It's kind of scary how he can be a sweet soul one minute but as soon as someone litters on the ground, he snaps and goes on a tangent about harming the environment. He can be real stern and somewhat abrasive when it comes to his beliefs. Often times he has to snap himself back and realize he's being too pushy when trying to be an Eco-warrior. He'll tell others that they need to stop using plastic and foam products and recycle more. He's even gone as far as by recycle bins and books on the environment. Danny is that annoying hall monitor with the whistle when he sees someone chopping down trees or even using a paper plate. As far as others eating meat, he doesn't say anything but he judges silently, even nonchalantly mentioning what's in certain products so they'll never eat them again. He's a very intelligent person and very eloquent when he speaks, so when he goes on his rant, its kind of hard to stop him because most of the time you never know what to say after. He's more book smart than anything and sometimes lacks common sense when solving problems. Overall, his a good person but don't litter or you'll hear an earful.
Background: Danny grew up as an only child to a white father and a Mexican mother. Just about his whole life, he's always trying to validate that he isn't some pasty white boy despite his skin color and bright red hair. Since he was born, he was diagnosed with Solar urticaria, a rare skin disorder that prevented him from going out into the sun or he would get red blisters that appeared on his skin almost instantly. He would have to dress up like it was winter outside just to play, so ultimately he just stayed indoors all day and developed pale skin. Because of his condition, he was home-schooled and was denied a normal childhood for the majority of his life. He never knew what it was like to play with other kids or have issues that all kids face. When he was about 11 or 12, puberty kicked in and that's when his life was changed forever. After the manifestation of his abilities, his Solar Ulticaria mysteriously vanished and he was able to be outside just like everyone else. It was a medical mystery to doctors but he was completely cured of any prior illnesses he ever had. Because of this, Danny felt the need to enter public school to be with other kids his age. At the age of 14, he decided to enter public high school to be with other kids his age. At first it wasn't a very pleasant experience since he had never interacted with others his age. It took him awhile to get the swing of things and in no time he was fitting in with everyone else. During this time, he was discovering himself and learning his sexual desires, something he never even gave a thought to before. Other than his social life, he was a very intelligent person making straight A's and being in the top 10 percent of his class. Science was his favorite subject and specialized in studying toxicology and plant life.
After joining the Green Club in his school freshman year, he turned to veganism after educating himself on animal cruelty and the consequences of global warming. After his abilities had manifested, he was even more inclined to join the club as he felt it was his duty to protect the Earth. During high school, he developed a lot of like minded friends who would go on retreats and protests to fight against people who destroyed vegetation, trees, and animal homes for construction. He also joined a Peace Core and went around growing gardens and feeding the homeless with his powers. There was an incident when they were at a protest and one of the bull dozer technicians decided to get bold and start fighting some of the students. In a fit of rage, his eyes began to glow bright green and commanded the trees to attack the man. This was the first time he ever lost control of his abilities and it scared him. Around this time is when the Ashford Institute contacted him about attending their school for others like him. Because of the incident that could have got the government to capture him, he was obliged to enroll.
Recap of your mutations awakening: As stated above, Danny acquired his abilities when he hit puberty. The first sign was when he was planting seeds in his little pot next to his bedroom window for it to grow. He always liked plants but this time, he was stroking the soil and wanting it to grow already. After he walked away and came back, it had already sprouted. Since then, he always assumed that plants grew because people wanted them to. Because people told them to. He thought everyone could do what he did. He was a very naive child at the time but he soon learned otherwise. Spending time at home, he watched a lot of TV and learned there were more people like him and that not everyone liked them. Danny started to hide what he did and to keep what he did to himself. Red flags were already going off because his disorder disappeared and he was unable to get sick. From then on, he's just practiced and perfected what he could do.
