Alex Carpenter

[Alex Carpenter]

Name: Alexander Carpenter
Age: 16

Power: Alex has the power to create a coherent psychokinetic avatar, or a human-shaped solid structure made of solid energy. The avatar obeys his commands, and can behave superhumanly, being stronger than a human, and being able to defy gravity. Alex currently has to focus to maintain its activity, and if his concentration breaks enough, it might dissipate altogether. He doesn't feel pain for damage the avatar takes, but it does register as an increasing mental pressure that can break his concentration and render him eventually unconscious. The avatar can be created in any size up to human-size presently.

Personality: Cocky, self-sure, without being a complete asshole. Possibly a bit full of himself, with the decency to be appalled if called on it.

Description: Blonde hair, brown eyes, with a lean athletic build. About 5’11” tall.

Background: Alex grew up in a well-to-do home, his mother being a lawyer, his father a doctor, and his moderately-estranged uncle a head of state in Genosha. His mother was well aware that he might be a mutant, since both of his uncles were, though they were a subject that didn’t get brought up much outside the home for alternately political and criminal reasons. He was warned not to flaunt it around his Grandfather Asters just to make everyone’s life easier, which he… attempted to do. Mostly. Sort of. A little. He isn’t a mutant supremacist, and he isn’t a human apologist, for the simple reason that he doesn’t care enough about political stances to take one. Knowing just how badly it could go to not send him somewhere to learn to deal with his mutation, he finished out his year at school and was then enrolled at Xavier’s.

The Asters family tree is coming to rival the Guthries or the Summers, but I'm definitely cool with this.
