Name: Nathaniel Caldwell
Nicknames/Aliases: Prefers Nathan
X-Men Code Name: Caedis
Gender: Male (He/Him)
Age: 18
Physical Description: 6’5”, 180lbs. He is tall and lanky, but is deceptively athletically sculpted.
Mutations: Haemokinesis (Blood Manipulation). He doesn’t have a lot of control over the full scope of his powers. However, he does have decent control over manipulating his own blood. He can change its consistency, density, levels of acidity, the speed of flow, and can use these abilities to shift his own blood into things like weapons and armor of sorts to help defend himself. With enough concentration he can use his abilities to stop an enemy in their tracks, can have limited control over their bodies movements, and under the right narrative circumstance could even outright kill them in a variety of ways by using their own blood against them.
Personality: Nathan is a whole mess with a big heart and an even bigger sense of self-doubt. He prefers to escape from reality whenever he gets the chance. He’s not very confident in himself or in social situations and even among his small friend groups over the years he’s never really felt like he “fit in”. It has always felt as though he was adjacent from everyone else…add in the fact that he’s now afraid of himself, his abilities, and of losing control again…naturally his self-doubt has been turned up to 11. Mostly though...he’s just a guy with the best of intentions that seems to fuck everything up despite that.
Background: Nathan was raised in a very…”interesting”…family environment. It was toxic and very much not okay. He has a certain amount of psychological damage that can be kept under control only with the right combination of meds and therapy. Without those things he’s an absolute mess. He was brought to the Institute as someone to keep an on. As a potential risk. Just as much to be babysat as taught. Dr. Ashford felt that integration with others like him and the proper supervision could help him keep from going down a darker path. Thus far that has proved correct. He has attended the Institute for some time now and has made both friends and enemies along the way.
Not long ago Nathan took a temporary leave of absence from the school after being informed about some kind of family tragedy. He didn’t have time to give a proper explanation to his friends or say any goodbyes. Upon his return things are a bit different. Some students have left, others have joined, and things have progressed without him involved. It may take him some time to properly reintegrate, and anyone who has had contact with him since his return can tell that he’s clearly working through something.
