Appearance:
but with a ponytail, the shirt is sleeveless
during missions he would attach blue bands to his shoulders and a mask with an air filter on his face with a 3e blue band as a headband, the bands are long enough that the shoulder ones reach to his knee's, he also has a short sword strapped on his belt in a horizontal way, the sword is locked with a lock that can only be opened by his powers or when its not attached to his back/ waist
Name: Patrick Campwood
Alias: Blade
Age: (20)
Mutation: Blade basically has 2 powers but both are connected to the electrical impulses that go trough his body:
-first he has a power he calls: Generator, able to absorb electrical energy in his body and use it in a large array of uses, such as lightning bolts, increase his physical abilitys (but damage his muscles due to it) increase his healing (drains a lot of electricity, generally used for healing the muscles), jumping into power lines or other electric guiding stuff (becoming electricity and recharging quickly), hacking computers and things with his mind (but leaving his body open as his mind go's into the machine, he needs to touch the machine, if getting knocked away his mind gets forced back into his body, something that generally is not a pleasant experience and could result in a instant K.O.) and other similar things, if he is fully charge he could transform his entire body into electricity for 10 minutes (before running out of power)
no stored electricity is no electric powers, damage received during increasing physical traits but with not enough power to heal it right away will leave the damage and it will take 2 days to heal (or more depending on the level of damage, in extreme cases he might even thorns some muscles and result in the need of an operation to fix it)
he often uses his electric powers trough his sword, giving it some stunning property's
this stunning property can also be experienced when moving fast and agile due to electricity and then slamming against someone, slightly disrupting their electrical impulses (needs to ram the person multiple times before a noticeable result shows)
-his second power uses his natural electrical impulses to stimulate his aura, able to feel his own aura, as others (feeling multiple things to a degree such as strong emotions and when someone is lying or even when someone has a dark/ evil intention at times, but he can be wrong) he can recognize certain people he gets used to feeling from a distance, his main use with feeling his own aura is that he can reshape it and even harden it to something similar to metal, but not a hard metal, hard enough that it could work as a sword/ claw or an armor, he can also send his aura in things he is holding if the object is not to big, often he uses this with the blue bands to create wings, they dont have the mass to fly BUT allow some small level gliding, also he uses this with his short sword to create multiple techniques like a whip like extension, a crescent moon slash crossing the ground (this is draining to use as the aura gets detached from him), a move he calls tempest where he jumps and starts spinning releasing energy from the blade to create a circle saw like slash (range limited to the weapon) and releasing the energy in a blast to knock things away (draining as well, unless its used with electricity)
its also this power that is able to unlock his swords lock.
using the aura power during the lightning shape could create wings that do allow flight (due to the mass of the wings being equal to the mass of the body yet electric magnetic field helps fight gravity) and other small changes BUT each use would cost more electricity lowering the time count to keep the shape up
Personality: Blade is what you can see a want to be a hero person, he always wanted to become a mutant or something so he could start turning into a super hero, when he was little he even had dreams of becoming an X-men, so hearing that they died was a huge shock.
once his powers did started to manifest he was thrilled and then thought that if the X-men are no more, then he would act for them.
he has seen spiderman in action and kind of liked the stupid jokes so he will try to make them himself, he basically see's spiderman as his role model, also thinking that with power comes responsibility
History: Patrick was born and raised in Holland, he had a pretty normal childhood, few bully's and fewer friends.
He was never the social one growing up, even at party's of his own family he was always found in a corner drawing or playing pokemon on his gameboy.
His family usually found him a bit odd, especially one aunt that acted like he should not have been born at all.
it was ironic that Patrick would later on become a mutant as that same aunt was a mutant hater to the extreme, even going so far as to openly hate Patrick's parents for being open minded about mutants, knowing that a mutant was just a human with a special gene, calling them mutant lovers.
His parents began at an early age to teach him to respect everyone, no matter if its a mutant or a human, something that went well as Patrick grow up to be a actual mutant lover, dreaming to one day become one, what to no surprise only agitated the aunt more.
His dream expended when he watched the new's, seeing how the X-men had just saved a large crown from the brotherhood, now Patrick wanted to be more then just a Mutant, he wanted to be an X-men, saving people, fighting bad mutants, living the super hero live.
When Patrick was young he had even met someone he thought to be a mutant, spiderman.
trough the situation how they met was not all that great:
his family had gone to New York on summer vacation, but never did they expect that during a trip to a mall that some guy in a scorpion costume would turn the mall into a hostage situation.
Patrick had found a large metal rod and lifted it with all his might, it was a surprise for by standers to see a little kid hold something like that so high, perhaps this was a sign of things to come, but it might just have been the bravery and adrenaline rushing trough his small body.
He charged the Scorpion, thinking that he could take him down, a childs innocence, the first time his parents began to think his dream to be more then a human might be more of a danger then first thought.
Patrick would likely have been stabbed by the Scorpion of his tail was not suddenly stuck as Spiderman had shown up and grabbed the tail in order to protect the brave little kid.
It actually became a small hilarious event for the bystanders, seeing the huge scorpion man getting slammed in the face with a metal rod by a small kid, of course there was no strength in the hit, but still, it looked funny.
Most people started to laugh and spiderman made jokes about it during the following fight that ended when spider tricked the scorpion into stabbing a power box, electrifying the man.
From that point on Patrick ran to spiderman, had a little chat before the crowd came to close for spidy's tast, since a few thought he had overstayed his welcome.
Still Patrick had a impression of a great man and from here he decided that he would use spiderman as role model, save those he can without regard to himself, make stupid jokes throughout fights if he can think of things and always remember: with great power comes great responsibility!
It was quite a sad thing for Patrick after that, years in a row nothing happened at all, no more meetings with bad guys personally, no more run in with hero's either, trough his parents were quite happy with that as their fear that his dream was a danger lessened with time spend normally, they did started to talk to him about acting like that and the dangers and all, hoping he would not do so again if a thing happened, Patrick took all that knowledge into him but not to stay out a trouble when something happens again, no he wanted to remember these things in order to act more professionally, remembering there are risk and he had to survive, he could hardly save people if he would die!
eventually new's reached his ears that the X-men died and with it a large part of his dreams, still he kept on hoping that one day he himself could make a difference!
From this day on Patrick started to train himself in martial arts, trough he never did become all that good, he at least learned to be swift.
and then his time started:
When he was 16 he and his mother were walking together towards a local mall only to be stopped by a group of 3 guy's.
One of the guys showed his mutant power right away, blocking the exit back with a wall of flames, while they them self blocked the other exit of the path.
It did not take them long to start talking between each other about what they would do to them:
they decided that the boy could watch as they would pound his mother saying "Bitch would be good fuck fun" and "the kid could learn some things from us pro's" all laughing at their own comments.
Patrick off course did not see the fun and stepped in between his mother and the guy's
His mother tried to talk him down, to let them get their way so that he would not get hurt, putting her own son's live above her own like any loving mother would likely do.
Patrick did not listen to his mother however and the guy's only got agitated by Patrick standing in their way.
the mutant that blocked the back path released flames from his hands towards Patrick who by instinct put his arms in front of himself.
His mother screamed his name fearing that he would be burned to death but when the flames stopped Patrick was standing there with a large glowing transparent shield like thing in front of him, as he lowered his arms the shield seemed to sink back into his arms but kept a glow around his arms.
Patrick looked at his hands and smiled, feeling that his time had come.
Right then did one of the other guy's, the second mutant attacked with arms covered with rocks, Patrick using his own arms to block the attack barely got pushed back and soon the fire using mutant started to attack as well with his arms covered with flames.
It was luck that both of them relied to much on their powers and never trained, making Patrick the faster one, able to avoid and tried punching them with his fist, hoping that his power would at least deal some heavy damage or something, but it seemed that beside a defensive trait, the glow, his aura did nothing else...
But then he felt something in his neck, 2 sharp pins, the 2 mutants took their distance quickly and smirked "nice death" one said.
Patrick looked behind him to see 2 wires from his neck to a rather large device in the hand of the 3e person who had appeared to be a normal human.
Then he could see, like the others the large amount of electricity rushing between the lines, it was large enough for anyone to see that the thing was no mere stun gun, it had been modified, it explained its size and even more its power.
Yet when it hit Patrick in that split second, nothing happened, Patrick looked at the thing, his mother and to the attackers, everyone had a surprised look.
"how... that thing should kill a bear, it was power up to kill, how??" the one holding the thing said in shock.
Patrick's mind started to think quickly after that, the weapon should kill, yet he felt fine, no, he felt better, the fight was starting to become hard as he had started to grow tired, yet now he felt full of energy, he felt even better then before the fight, like he had a new source of power.
The guy holding the gun fired a second blast, but Patrick just felt greater then ever and pulled the wires from his neck, feeling a little blood flow from the wounds, surprised that the wounds were not even burned shut by the current, yet it did felt strangely tingling, like current was working on the 2 wounds in a not attacking matter.
Patrick then moved quickly, faster then he had ever done and due to not expecting this speed, he slammed full body into the human, knocking him against the wall, knocking him out cold hard.
Patrick looked at the man in disbelieve, he had wanted to just jump to the man and slam his fist in his face, yet he jumped way to far and fast then he wanted.
Then he felt something, a anger and a change of directions, Looking to the source he noticed how the fire Mutant had started to run to his mother, his entire body beginning to blaze.
A second act of instinct forced Patrick to throw his hand to the mutant as a bolt of lightning flew between his fingertips and hit the mutant on his head, knocking the ,guy out in one blow.
The rock skin mutant had seen the bolt and started to run away from them, running trough the wall of flames that had started to die out as its maker had been K.O.'d.
Patrick wanted to check of the fire user was still living but his mother pulled him away, wanting to go back home and rest from the entire ordeal...
Trough his parents did not mind that Patrick had become a mutant, knowing that he would not misuse his powers or anything, they did not like the thought that he would try to follow his dream of becoming a hero, not wanting their only child to get in dangerous situations.
but they also knew they could not stop him, it had been his dream from such a young age and trough they did not like the danger part, they were happy that he could live his dream at least, having had worries about him not finding a dream for if he stayed a human...
Patrick then talked with them for the rest of the day and most of the night about a lot of things, such as his powers and what they guessed he could do and how they guessed he could learn to use them better, about using his short sword that he had gotten from a nephew at his last birthday as a weapon in case of, and of course a costume, all agreeing that he should prevent his real identity from getting found out.
Patrick has had a lot of years thinking his costume over and shared his idea's where his mother shortly after started to collect her sowing machine and materials and began with the clothes.
His father, thinking that his son was smart to think about a gas mask like thing that even hid his face started to make that, the thing wont work as great as a real gas mask due to the shape, but the air filter would still do a lot of good.
While his parents were working on his costume, Patrick checked his neck in the mirror, feeling the place the wounds had beed, he could see the dried up blood, but he could not see the wounds where it came from, it was like the wound was never there, like it had healed already, something he thought to be 'cool' and then thinking of making a attempt spidy joke on his own powers 'shocking' only to find it a failure.
He grabbed the sword and made an attachment to his belt, finding that the sword kept sliding out of its holster.
it took quite some days, discussing things with his father about the sword and trying to use his powers until he realized he could shift his aura just enough to make something like a small finger, when he told his father that the idea to make a lock that Patrick could open with his powers was made.
In the end it took 3 weeks for his outfit was finally done, in these 3 weeks he tried to use his aura powers more and more, and learned the hard way that he electric powers need to be charged up before they work, still he had no idea on how far the range of his abilities were...
using his sword, making a sword like aura shape and even learning to fill his sword with electrical energy he decided to name himself "Blade"
It was the only thing he had never before thought of, wanting to take an name based on his powers.
He felt a bit stupid to not take in account that his costume might also needed to be changed to his powers and just thought something out, but he was glad he had done so as his costume fitted as far as he cared and having thought of it did made it possible to have it by now, or he would have needed to wait more time as he would have needed to think of something.
From here on out Blade had been busy whenever Patrick had free time, mostly focused on the crimes in his area, what to his surprise was a lot actually, drug dealing, rape attacks, robbery's, break in's and even a few mutant attacks here and there, trough most often had appeared to be a new mutant losing control...
non the less, all the experience he made gave him a better feeling for his powers, inspired his inspiration to try new tricks, eventually he even added blue bands on his shoulders and a headband as he figured out he could guide his aura trough things, something that came to him more by accident trough:
During a fight with a mutant robber that had targeted his fav snackbar, the mutant had a strong defense to the point that lightning attacks did not do a thing to him and Blade could not get close enough to the mutant as the person had the power to lift a car, one wrong move and splat... to dangerous.
The mutant threw a garbage can and while Blade was holding the sword he instantly tried to cut the thing, normally the sword would fail big time being to small, yet it worked, as Blade looked at the sword he noticed his aura covering the weapon.
Shortly after sirens of cop cars were heard and apparently the mutant robber did not thought himself fit to tackle to cops or something cause he ran away, leaving Blade feeling like a stupid failure, but he learned a new part of his powers at least.
With the bands Blade tried to make wings, trying to fly, yet he failed, it was even worse when Blade realized this after trying to jump from his parents roof thinking it would work, it was however a nice surprise to find he could glide at least.
And so Blade acted more and more, and learned more and more.
After a couple of years, he started to reach some financial needs, the clothes needed to be repaired and the mask could use some fixing as well, yet they did not had the materials, So Blade wend online, knowing it was stupid but he made a account on different sites in his country and explained that he was a mutant that would work for cash.
Not much replies were made, but the few that did usually had some small problems like a bully, a stalker, getting threatened and could not go to the cops, even things like detective work, something that even increased Blade's uses of powers as the person that hired him as a detective the first time had asked Blade his powers and asked if he could use his electric powers to hack computers, something that learned Blade that he could not just hack with his mind when touching a machine, but even jump trough electric conducting things like power lines and such.
Through he did not get a lot of replies it was at least enough for hims to pay for his repairs and such on his gear.
a few years later, near the current time, he got a strange reply, the reply was send trough a site he used but did not get any attention at all, but the reply was made directly to his mailbox, something he had never set up, all replies had been on the sites alone, his mail was only registered for nothing but a heads up of a reply was made on the site.
so a reply right into his mail box did not fit at all.
still he opened it, the person that made contact ally called itself Shield, a weird name he thought, he tried to hack the system to find where it came from with his mind, only to get redirected back out, something that had never happened before, who had send the mail had set up a loop or something so they could not be traced.
Patrick wondered how he could reply to the mail if it had a loop, still he tried it out, typing a reply, agreeing to talk in person at and meet at a appointed place, somewhere Patrick could only guess would be more of a pickup place due to its secluded location, but he knew there was a train track nearby so if needed he could just jump in the tracks or cable and get away quickly.
To his surprise the mail actually got send just fine, a opening in the loop it seemed, he tried to trace his own mail this time, yet again got kicked out.
Dizzy from 2 failed attempts he decided to stop trying and see what would become of this meeting...
OOC/Misc:
