He's a smooth talker and master manipulator. His upbringing was far from normal and it had a profound effect on him and his personality development, as has being a mutant who never seems to really age. Being nearly immortal due to an effective healing factor also means that he is a major risk taker and holding back is not something he does well.<br/><br/>He necessary he can blend into a crowd like a perfect chameleon, but generally he prefers to be the one in the spotlight, and he's not above using manipulation (physical, emotional, and pheremonal!) to get the attention he loves. He comes off as someone who needs no one, casual flings being his specialty, as is casting people aside without a second glance, but what Daken truly desires is stability and to not feel like the Mongrel.<br/><br/><strong>Hobbies:</strong> Languages, seducing the hard to get, testing himself, camping, hunting, dancing.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong> Daken was born over 70 years ago to the hero who would be known eventually as The Wolverine and his Japanese wife, Itsu. While Logan was away, the Winter Soldier (sent by Romulus) found Itsu and killed her. After her death an unknown man arrived and cut the premature Daken from her womb, his healing factor allowing him to survive the extraction. He was then left on the doorstep of Akihira and Natsumi, a young wealthy and quite traditional Japanese family. The pair had been unable to conceive and saw his arrival as a sign of good fortune, deciding to raise him as their own child. He was named Akihiro, though due to his heritage he was often referred to by staff and others within the province as Daken, meaning Mongrel, due to his mixed heritage. <br/><br/>Growing up he was often teased by others due to the same issue, his treatment over the years turning his personality quite cold except when his father was involved. Akihira secretly confessed one night that she did not love their adopted son. Additionally, she had finally become pregnant after many years of trying. Akihiro managed to hear this entire confession and he began plotting of his own, a cold rage filling him. After the baby was born Akihiro confronted his mother about what she had said about him, and he claimed to have killed her newborn son. Hearing this, she was obviously furious and disowned Daken who angrily responded that Akihiro wasn't his real name anyways. Natsumi, still enraged, attempted to kill Daken with a family sword. This threat triggered Daken's first unsheathing of his mutant claws and he attempted to fend off her attack, accidentally slashing her. His father arrived on the scene but was unable to bring himself to harm his son and instead commits suicide out of shame.<br/><br/>The mutant known as Romulus then showed up, telling Daken that he belonged to Romulus. The man took Daken under his wing, sending him to a training camp in Canada where Wolverine had originally trained. There he was trained by the man who would be become known as Cyber, Silas Burr, as well as several other trainers, turning him into a world class fighting machine. <br/><br/>Eventually Romulus told Daken that it was Wolverine who had killed his real mother, sowing the seed of vengeance deep within him that would come to shape the rest of Daken's life. OAt times he was somewhat lost, and at other times fought with various criminal organizations all while trying to find his father and end his life. Eventually Romulus obtained a shard of the Muramasa blade and bonded it with a pair of Daken's claws in preparation of him using them to kill his father.<br/><br/>Then, Daken got word of his father's location and he showed up on the school's doorsteps to enroll and study his opponent before making his move.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_u">Mutations and Powers</span></span><br/><strong>Classification:</strong> Beta<br/><br/><strong>Type of mutant:</strong> Inherited<br/><br/><strong>Powers:</strong><br/><em>HEALING FACTOR</em> - Daken’s primary power is the ability to regenerate quickly from nearly all forms of harm. The full extent of his powers are not known, but he has thus far been able to regenerate entire limbs or organs without much effort and even massive blunt trauma is healed fairly quickly. This has the added ability of making him immune to all poisons, diseases, drugs and toxins except in massive doses – but even these won’t kill him.<br/><em>SUPERHUMAN DURABILITY &amp; STAMINA</em> - He’s tough too, and everything from his skin to his bones and muscles are enhanced beyond normal human limits to a rather extraordinary extent. Also, Daken just doesn’t really get tired, much like his father. He can exert himself for over 24 hours before he even begins to tire.<br/><em>SUPERHUMAN AGILITY &amp; REFLEXES</em> - Daken’s agility levels are beyond that of normal human limitations. This includes balance and bodily coordination as well. His reflexes, like much else about his body, are also enhanced to extreme levels. This includes speed, as well, allowing him to reach speeds of over 40mph on foot and he can attack faster than a base human eye can follow.<br/><em>SUPERHUMAN SENSES</em> - Like his father, he has superhuman degrees of sight, smell and hearing. He can see  better than a human and even decently in near total darkness. His hearing allows him to hear outside the normal human spectrum and from farther distances. Additionally his smell is advanced enough to track by scent alone, even if time and weather have eroded it.<br/><em>BONE CLAWS</em> - Daken has 3 retractable claws in each of his forearms that emerge from his knuckles. His are arranged slightly different from his father and he has two above his hand and one underneath. Additionally his bone claws have a rougher texture and darker color than his father’s. These bones are much stronger than normal and are naturally sharp with the ability to cut through even the toughest steals with ease though they are not on the level of adamantium. Of particular note on his lower claws – they have been enhanced with essence from the Muramasa Blade. These claws are protected by an Adamantium sheath so it doesn’t affect him and they have the special ability of nullifying healing factors. They can, however, still be broken so he doesn’t often bring them out unless he’s sure he can deliver a death blow. Even minor cuts from these claws can take days for super fast healers to mend.<br/><em>PHEROMONE CONTROL</em> - Daken has a rather unique ability to control pheromones to an extraordinary degree. He can use them to suppress his own scent and stop even the world's best trackers from noticing him, or use it to induce fear, happiness, depression, and arousal. He can even use it to induce complex emotions such as trust and gullibility or actual love and romantic feelings – even from those who would not normally feel such towards him. His pheromones can even make him almost invisible to people’s senses, causing some opponents to believe he can teleport or move with super speed. They can also confuse and disorient foes, toying with their equilibrium or confusing any/all of their senses. His pheromones center on perceptions of himself only - he cannot, for example, use them to make a person fear someone other than himself.<br/><em>EMPATHY</em> - As a by-product of his pheromone control, Daken has the ability to psionically sense and/or manipulate the emotions of other people.<br/><br/><strong>Abilities:</strong><br/><em>TELEPATHIC DEFENSES</em> - Daken has an odd sort of trap within his mind that attempts to draw in invasive telepaths, sometimes even turning their powers against them. He is unaware of where it came from or if its just a byproduct of his particular upbringing and empathic powers.<br/><em>MASTER MANIPULATOR</em> - Daken is simply a natural when it comes to getting what he wants. Even without his pheromones he is adept at manipulating people to do things for him, all seeming like it was their own idea.<br/><em>HIGH PAIN TOLERANCE</em> - Living with a healing factor will do that to you. At some point you just realize you'll heal from whatever and stop caring about pain.<br/><em>MASTER MARTIAL ARTIST</em> - Daken prides himself on being skillful. Where his father had an advantage in pure feral power, Daken makes up for it in lethal precise skill. He's studied martial arts around the world and has been doing it for longer than many people have been alive.<br/><em>MULTILINGUAL</em> - Daken can speak English, French (Canadian), Spanish and Japanese fluently.<br/><em>STRATEGY</em> - While often seeming aloof and superficial, Daken is always thinking ahead, it is simply part of being a manipulator. As such he's a good strategist and leader when he puts his head in the game.<br/><em>HUNTING &amp; TRACKING</em> - Through smell and his other senses, Daken can track almost anything across great distances. He also has many scents memorized and can recognize them on contact.<br/><br/><strong>Disadvantages:</strong><br/><em>CARBONADIUM DIGESTION</em> - Daken's healing factor is vulnerable to  carbonadium. Though it is one of the rarest substances on the planet, it is still a surefire way to weaken him enough to kill him.<br/><em>NIGHTMARES</em> - A product of his upbringing and the mental blocks put in place on him, he often suffers from nightmares - usually unable to remember them.<br/><em>CONFUSED</em> - With the telepathic screwery that he's gone through, sometimes Daken just ends up confused and unsure how he got to where he is. This is not something he shares with anyone.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_u">School Information</span></span><br/><strong>Classes Taken:</strong> Photography, whatever athletics he can, whatever language classes he can<br/><br/><strong>Clubs/Extracurriculars:</strong> None yet<br/><br/><strong>Student Relations:</strong> TBD<br/><br/><strong>SPECIAL NOTE(S):</strong> Daken's parentage is not known at the moment, and it is not public knowledge that he is related to Wolverine (after all, feral clawed mutants aren't that uncommon in Marvel-land).</div></div>
