He's constantly smiling(even if it is sarcastic much of the time), and has a bit of a snark to his personality, but it adds flavor he thinks. Also unlike Wanda, he loves his powers, and revels in them. He also uses them for pranks but that's not the point. Beneath the surface of what people usually see though is much more. There lies a tortured young man who is saddened every day he looks at his sister and sees despair on her face. He feels like he failed when he ran to save them from that mob; he feels like he abandoned their lives and their parents. But even further, simply lies an brave young man who would sacrifice himself faster than he can run to save someone else.<br/><br/><strong>Hobbies:</strong>Video Games, Internet, Social Media, Anything to do with speed, models/sculptures, cooking, music(he could give the devil a run for his money on the fiddle)<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Pietro was born first to here him tell it(and who knows, it might be true), and since childhood he has always looked out for and protected his sister Wanda. He remembers far more of their childhood than her, and it was a good life they had, a simple life with the Romani people. A life both of them could be happy with. Happiness isn't always guaranteed though; and he has flashes in his head about being kidnapped and experimented on by the High Evolutionary. They weren't what he needed apparently though, and were allowed to return home.<br/><br/>Over the next few years, everything seemed normal. Until times got hard and their father was forced to steal to feed the family. He got caught, and right before the angry mob tore into him, Wanda did...<em>something</em>. She held her hands up and then there was just some sort of barrier. It was firmly between the villagers and Django, but when they couldn't reach their father, they came for the twins. They were outnumbered, and the villagers were all adults. Pietro didn't know what to do, so he grabbed his sister and ran. And he ran and he ran.<br/><br/>He ran faster than he ever had before, and when he stopped, they were miles and miles away. Without knowing it, he'd whisked them away from their family and would be killers. From then, he and Wanda stuck together, using their powers and any means necessary to survive. One day though, the pair were found by Xavier and taken in. Finally they were off the streets, and with another family who truly seemed to love them. It was hard for Pietro to open up, but he did. And now he's happy. He has his sister, and people who care. And he can help...he doesn't need much more than that.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_u">Mutations and Powers</span></span><br/><strong>Classification:</strong>Alpha<br/><strong>Type of mutant:</strong>Created<br/><strong>Powers:</strong><br/><br/><strong>Super Speed:</strong>The blanket term for Pietro's mutant ability is "super speed", which is essentially the ability to move at extreme speeds. However, his abilities are far more than just that, although for simplicity sake...he's faster than fast.<br/><br/><strong>Accelerated Momentum:</strong>While "super speed" sounds a whole lot cooler, the truth is that all of Pietro's molecules exist in a state of enhanced movement. By actively focusing on that, he can accelerate himself to speeds that quite frankly allow him to defy physics and the laws of the universe. For example, once he gets going, he can move so fast that he can run across water, walls, ceilings, and even up the sides of buildings as gravity has no effect. He moves so fast that in his perception, the world is at a standstill, with even extremely fast objects like bullets, electricity, and explosions moving at a snails pace to him. And because of this, when he interacts with the world while moving at speed, he can simulate super strength as the massive kinetic energy he departs from even simple touches when displacing things from their frozen state can send grown men flying and destroy structures. Even his footfalls when running can leave small craters in his wake. A full speed punch from him would be one helluva wallop. He can even carry passengers and heavy weights with ease, as he's moving so fast their weight doesn't have time to apply. A good example of his speed is that he moves so fast, people assume he can teleport.<br/><br/><strong>Hyper Enhanced Perception:</strong>Pietro's speed extends beyond his body. His brain operates on a similar, if not higher level. The world around him usually moves in slow motion, and he has to actually focus to see things like other people. On the other hand, when he's running, the world is slowed down even further, and all but the fastest of projectiles and people are frozen in his eyes. This extends to learning as well. Due to the nature of his brain, he can "speed read" and learn an entire field in the time it takes him to read the book.<br/><br/><strong>Speedster Physiology:</strong>While he can ignore several laws of physics, none of it would be possible if not for his body being altered for surviving the rigors of moving at such high speeds. Due to his hyper enhanced metabolism, he heals from wounds at a much faster rate than normal people. And while he doesn't have a true healing factor, he can heal broken bones in about 48 hours. Speaking of bones, his are like spring steel to absorb the astonishing amount of stress from running at such speeds. And he is durable enough to impact surfaces moving at high speeds and not splatter like a bug on a windshield; he can even move bullets out of flight without injury. And his skin and other soft tissues are durable enough to not be shorn off by friction at high speeds. Even his cardiovascular system is enhanced to allow him to move at super speed for long periods of time without getting tired, and when he is tired, he can rest for a short while and almost fully recover, especially if he has a lot of food to boost his calorie count. His body is literally the perfect speed machine.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Abilities:</strong><br/><br/><strong>Musician -</strong>Growing up Roma meant growing up with music. From a young age Pietro loved music and learned to play different instruments from his parents and the others in their village.<br/><strong>Chef - </strong>One learns how to cook when one lives on the run. To survive, Pietro became a great cook for his and Wanda's sakes.<br/><strong>Mechanic -</strong>It's easy to fix things when you can learn how in a few seconds, then patch them together even quicker.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_u">School Information</span></span><br/><strong>Classes Taken:</strong>Speed Classes, Advanced Studies, Molecular Physics, History 101, History of Mutants & Humans<br/><br/><strong>Clubs/Extracurriculars:</strong>Auto Club, Track/Field(obviously), lots of sports clubs...Anime club.<br/><br/><strong>Student Relations:</strong>Wanda is his twin sister.
