Biography

Childhood

Summary of the character's pre-Xavier's life.

Living At The X-Mansion

May cover as many years as you want, but the sub-headings are to break up large blocks of text.

(Insert Header Title applicable to your character here)

Again, depends on the character. Basically breaks up your biography to avoid Wall O' Text. Plot events should be very briefly covered, as there will be links to the specific plot write-ups. Feel free to link to a plot within the biography.

Physical Characteristics

Height: 5'8"

Weight: 155 lbs

Eyes: Brown

Hair: Black

Other Features: A fairly attractive teen, but on the shorter end of average height, neither slender nor muscular, for the most part, Billy’s physical appearance would be considered “average.” His hair, however, is Black!black, not just the dark brown many refer to as black, and it always carries a “just out of bed, I don’t care about my hair” look. Few people know, though, how much attention he actually gives to maintaining that look, since he recognizes it’s one of his most striking features.

Powers

Billy’s mutation can convert chaos into magical energy that allows him to make limited changes to reality around him. Rather than traditional “spells,” his power works through a combination of desire and clear mental imagery, along with a sufficient source of chaos, which ultimately determines the strength of the spell.

Although still in its infancy, it would seem that Billy’s power is limited primarily by his imagination and understanding of what he wants to accomplish. Since he must be able to visualize what he wants to happen, if he can’t picture it clearly, the results can be unpredictable. Particularly as an untrained teenager, he is extremely prone to distraction, and an interrupted spell can often result in dangerous effects.

In his current untrained capacity, Billy can only reach the necessary mental clarity by chanting a mantra of “I want...suchandsuchtohappen” over and over until he can finally picture the results and the spell takes effect. The complexity of the spell typically determines how long this can take.

Once his spells activate, Billy has little control over their duration. Unless he actively tries to reverse the effects, they run their natural course based on his initial intent and the available power. For many spells, the effect is immediate and fades shortly after. One of his early powerful spells, however, still allows him to summon lightning at will without speaking.

Equipment

None yet.

Trivia

A clarinet case can occasionally be seen peeking out from underneath his bed.

As the son of an MD and a PhD, Billy knows a LOT of random things most teenagers his age wouldn't. They tend to come up in conversation, and although he doesn't mean it as such, he can sometimes come across as a bit of a know-it-all.
