I would dispute your claim, but I'm waiting for review.

[Hey Im Jordan]

| BIRTHNAME: |

Nathaniel Nicholas Anderson IV

| NICKNAME(S): |

Nathan
Nate
Nick
Nicky(he really hates this one)

| ALIAS(ES): |

Undecided, for now he prefers to simply go by his last name.

| SEX: |

Male

| AGE: |

19

| APPEARANCE: |

Nathaniel is a handsome young lad, rather tall and with broad shoulders and a generally muscular build. He stands at about 6’4”(195 cm), and weighs in at roughly 215 lbs(97 kg) and takes physical fitness andl health very seriously, and it shows. Electric blue eyes and soft blond hair that he takes the utmost care of.

His clothing styles, for the most part, prefers comfort over functionality, and he can most often be found wearing shorts and baggy t-shirts, even in the winter months, which he attributes to his heritage and origins in the northern European country of Sweden, despite having not been there in over a decade.

| ABILITIES: |

Psionic Armory

Nathan is able to create tangible weapons with his mind. The most common uses of this power are psionic blades and a psionic bow and seemingly endless quiver. His weapons manifest in a blue physical form. He favors a rapier in each hand, though he has shown that he is able to make a shield as well, though its durability is questionable. He is unsure of his upper limits and has forever favored this selection from his armory, as he fondly refers to it. In the future, it may expand to include other weapons.

Limitations and weaknesses

• Concentration: Especially noteworthy as far as his bow goes, Nate is not able to keep the weapons useable without a strong degree of concentration, which can be shattered at keypoints in fights. He is much more competent and confident with his blades, but often shuts out the rest of his team during Danger Room scenarios to make sure he can maintain his weapons.
• Length of Use: Though he has gotten much better at it over time, and will likely only improve, Nathan is exhausted rather quickly from the strain of creating and maintaining his weapons. He can push past his limitations, but it leads to him collapsing almost instantly upon dismissing his blades or bow. He prefers to stay in melee range because the blades are much less drawing on him.
• Squishy: Nathan is simply that. He doesn’t have superhuman durability and isn’t capable of surviving more than a few well placed blows, despite doing his best to reach the pinnacle of natural durability. It simply doesn’t stand up to some of the things he’ll have to face.
• Effectiveness: Against stronger telepaths than he, Nathan’s weapons are far less effective, unable to pierce powerful mental defenses. In time, if he hones his own mental strengths, this may change, but for now he is too focused on learning to wield his weapons to the best of his ability.

Telepathy, Telekinesis, and Mind Manipulation
While it’s very latent now, Nathan has shown brief bursts of telepathy and telekinesis, though none of it is nearly as well trained and honed as his armory is, due to him simply not wanting to use the power, perhaps out of fear.

Limitations and Weaknesses

• Unrestrained: His telepathy and telekinesis have lashed out in the past against his will, leading to him reading unsuspecting minds and moving objects without meaning to. In his childhood, he would almost always get his way due to changing things in his parents’ mind, though unintentionally. Now aware of what happened, Nathan is disgusted by these powers and blatantly refuses to currently train them.
• Untrained: He is still liable to lashing out and often accidentally reads his peers’s minds. It frustrates him to no end and is one of his major shames.
• Unwilling: He doesn’t want to have these powers, and wishes greatly that he could simply have his armory and be on his way. Unfortunately he lost--or won, depending on who you ask--the mutation lottery, and got the set.

Selective Intangibility
Much like Kitty Pryde, Nathan is able to walk through walls and become intangible at will(almost). He is more fond of this power than his Telepathy, and it has resulted in him being very fond of Kitty.

Limitations and Weaknesses

• Untrained: He has issues with this power that are very similar to his telepathy: he’s rather confused as to how it should be used. This has led to him leaning on walls and accidentally phasing through them. There haven’t been any major unphasing inside of solid objects issues, yet.
• Imperfect: He isn’t able to use it on will quite yet, but is trying to learn so he can use it more confidently in combat, which he thinks will cover for his otherwise ‘squishy’ self.

| BIOGRAPHY: |

• 1997: He is born in Sweden to a British man and his Swedish wife on January 1st. His powers don’t manifest for some years, and he lives a mostly normal life.
• 2000: Though he doesn’t realize it until later, his telepathy and mind manipulating powers manifest as early as here, convincing his parents to spoil him more than a little.
• 2001: Throughout this year, there are some scares with his phasing powers, though his parents brush them off as ‘eye tricks,’ and things like that, reluctant to admit that their child may be a ‘freak.’
• 2004: Begins to attend a boarding school and takes fencing classes
• 2006: His psionic armory kicks in at a junior fencing competition, and he is expelled from the boarding school. Confused, his parents send him to Xavier’s School, where he has been ever since. He tries to speak to his parents as often as possible, though they show little interest in him in return. His parents send him a monthly allowance.
• 2009: Begins to slowly cut off contact with his parents, having less and less interest in them. They continue to send the checks, and for a almost a year he doesn’t cash them. Around this time, he gives a brief attempt at learning to control his telepathy.
• 2010: He has a realization that he doesn’t need his parents, and that if they don’t want him, he doesn’t want them. He begins to return the checks, instead earning money doing odd jobs around the city and for the staff. He expresses interest in becoming an X-Man, even the leader of the group, and redoubles his efforts in the Danger Room and learning. Around this time, he requests private lessons with Shadowcat/Kitty Pryde due to one of his powers being similar to hers.
• 2012: The Dark Phoenix incident happens, causing him to again shy away from his Telepathy powers, wondering if something similar could happen to him.
• 2013: He begins to grow a crush on Kitty Pryde.
• 2014: Professor Xavier passes away and it hits Nathan harder than he likes to admit. He requests, and--due to his age--is granted, an extended leave from the school. During this time he spends money he’d saved up and explores the large country, exercising his powers to save people in need. He keeps in contact with few people from the school at this time, namely Nightcrawler and Kitty to the best of his ability, though he’s very understand that they may be busier than he.
• 2015: He returns to Xavier’s School in February and goes back to his regular schooling and training. When people ask why he even came back, he cites a loss of money with a smile. In reality, he lost control of his powers and nearly killed a criminal that he was stopping somewhere near the American-Canadian border, which caused him to realize he needed more practice.
• 2016: Nathaniel continues his school and training, doing his best to get control and skill to a level where he can join the X-Men or perhaps be given a team all his own. He is looked up to by a lot of the younger students due to his relatively calm head and seniority.

| MISC. NOTES: |

• He has a huge crush on Kitty Pryde. Like he’s seriously infatuated with her.
• He eats at least one strawberry with every meal
• He tries to eat healthily, and tends to only drink water and a few select juices.
• His favorite color is green and it slightly annoys him that his powers manifest in a blue shade
• A natural born leader, he always tries to take charge whenever possible and aspires to eventually become the leader of the X-Men
• Also looks up to Nightcrawler

Strawberry Gatorade

pls forgive the tumblr filters on the picture, i never asked for this

I’ll change whatever’s necessary. The stuff with Kitty is definitely changeable if the GMs want, I don’t mind. Just PM me or send me a mention here, I'll handle it. :)

I guess I'll ding you guys... @Hillan@Lord Wraith

[Sep]

@Universorum just don't ding-dong ditch them.

[Hey Im Jordan]

@SepWouldn't dream of it

[Lord Wraith]

@Universorum upon first glance it seems like you have four/five fairly strong powers. Hillan and I have been talking and we think you should consider choosing two from the batch. Whether that's psionic armory and intangibility or psionic armory and telekinesis etc.

[Hey Im Jordan]

@Lord WraithOkay. Is that the only issue?

[Lord Wraith]

@Universorum I believe so but I'm waiting to hear back from Hillan to confirm.

[Sep]

Reviews are happening.

Excitement.

[Hey Im Jordan]

@Lord WraithTake your time. I'll consider which powers I'd like to keep. Do you think it might be possible to keep Telepathy on its own and abandon the other parts of that section? The telekinesis and mind manipulation bits. I'll probably decide to keep intangibility and the armory otherwise.

[Lord Wraith]

@Universorum I'll see what Hillan thinks but I personally think that could be doable.

[Hey Im Jordan]

@Lord WraithExcellent, keep my updated. ^^

[An Outsider]

Reviews are happening.

Excitement.

@Sep

If I know Wraith and Hillan (which I do) reviews will still be some time in coming. It would be unfair to say they can't organize a piss-up in a brewery, because they can, and it's always a great piss-up. It's just it takes them fucking weeks to get the invites out in the mail.

_{They'll probably review all the sheets now, just to spite me.}

No, with more Mars actually.

In fact, forget the OOC!
