Biography
Childhood
Julio was born in El Paso, Texas and lived there until the age of two when his mother died in a car accident. His father, who was an arms merchant and illegally running guns across the border, received a warrant for his arrest and fled for Mexico with his son. Julio lived with his father's family in Mexico City until he was 10, and then drifted with his father until they settled in Guadalajara when he was 12.
When Julio was 15, he attended a Christmas party given by his father's employers, and he met the pretty wife of his father's boss. The woman, Felicia, who was already sort of unstable, began seeing Julio shortly thereafter. The affair went unnoticed for several months.
Meanwhile, Julio was having severe migraines, and Guadalajara began to experience tiny earthquakes. This caught the attention of Magneto, who after months of tracking traced the source of the quakes to Julio. In late June, Magneto caused a car accident in which Felicia was killed and Julio manifested his powers, causing a moderately powerful quake. Julio was later kidnapped out of his hospital bed and taken to San Diego by Magneto. The X-Men, having been contacted via Nathan Dayspring, who was a friend of Julio's father, rallied and tried to rescue the boy. Magneto tormented Julio until he caused a devastating earthquake that destroyed San Diego. Julio was eventually saved and taken back to the school, but the damage had been done.
Coming to Xavier's
Julio woke up in the medlab and slowly began to recover from his injuries. He befriended both Forge and Kyle Gibney, and the latter became his roommate. After a month of being left to his own devices for varying reasons, he acquired a powers trainer in Lorna Dane. Julio began to learn how to control his powers, although after an incident with Amara Aquilla where he nearly lost control again he decided to never do any more unsupervised powers training. Julio also befriended Angelica Jones when she came to the mansion, and she, Kyle and Julio have formed something of a trio.
He had a mild meltdown during the events of The Gates, which were probably triggered by the arrival of Pietro Maximoff more than anything, where he questioned the competancy of the school on the journals and was lectured up and down the halls for it. He has since calmed down.
After being coerced into taking Angel as a date to winter ball, the pair found themselves under some mistletoe. And the two promptly proceeded to make out, Julio being completely oblivious to her feelings towards him and his own feelings for her until this moment. The two have begun dating. There are some underlying issues with his roommate and best friend Kyle because of this, as Kyle nurses a small crush on Angel.
When It All Goes Wrong Again
During one of the infamous Xavier School field trips, an unexpected powers interaction between student counselor Haller and a con man named Thomas Glorian led to Julio becoming trapped in a dream where he lived in a world had he never manifested his powers. Driven by a sense of something missing and rebellion against his continued coddling by his father, he leaves home and goes to the US, where he meets Forge, trapped in the same dream and driven by the same sense of something's wrong. After making physical contact, the pair remember their other lives and begin to hunt for the others trapped in the dream (being those where were on the feild trip with them) leading them to an undamaged San Diego.
Julio doesn't even consider staying in the dream, unwilling to accept the "lie" of the dreamworld and unwilling to continue to run away from the events of the summer. After a series of comedically escalating events as the dreamers' collective subconcious rebels and logic begins to break down in the dreamworld, he helps wake up both Shiro and Lorna, steal a plane with Crystal on it, break Kyle out of jail, and chase the dream-Glorian through a Scooby-Doo-esque chase sequence before bringing the man back to meet with Haller and break out of the shared dream.
As a result of the dream, Julio has gained a degree of maturity about the events of the summer and no longer wishes to go back to the way things were before. Instead, he now looks forward, learning to use his powers and find a way to do service to the memory of the people who died in the earthquake.

Powers
Julio is a terrakinetic. He can sense, absorb and manipulate the energy released by the shifting of the tectonic plates. He absorbs the power and can project it, or merely cause the ground to shake. He can also control the level of power he projects, either causing a subtle vibration that feels like a "taser" and can shatter smaller objects, or larger, more destructive waves. He has gained a degree of fine control over his powers, allowing him to create things like sinkholes and sense geologic abnormalities.
His power level varies depending on whether he is near an active fault line. In New York, which is relatively tectonically stable, his power level is only moderate. As opposed to the California coast, where he has the power to wipe out a city. If you were to stick him somewhere where there was absolutely no geologic activity whatsoever (like say, oh, Mars) he would be powerless.
Equipment
He carries his Xavier Issued Cellphone at all times.
Trivia

Meta Trivia:
- X-Factor originally located Rictor when he was hooked up to a machine and used to nearly destroy San Francisco. His writer was too fond of San Francisco to destroy it so she opted for San Diego instead. Much to Twiller's 'protest', as he lives in SD.
- Julio's entrance is the undisputed winner of the "Most Traumatic Character Entrance" title.
