That's what got him attention from his friends when he couldn't get it from his family. Coming to Xavier's school didn't really change that, and he continued to explore and test the limits of the bubble he was 'stuck' in. When the Brotherhood attacked the school, something in him snapped, and he decided it was time to do something. Since then, he's been trying to work hard at being a good, focused student -- even if it is mostly focused around his power and defending himself -- but the old habits of a punk and a rebel die hard, and he remains his own worst saboteur.<br/><br/><strong>Hobbies:</strong>Video games, urban exploration<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Ezra was the product of a one night fling from a single woman who was too young to be a mother. His mother was mostly vacant, working whatever job she was holding down for the last few weeks and then spending her nights partying with her friends or the latest guy. Ezra becoming old enough to take care of himself was a blessing for her, and just allowed her more time to socialize. He ended up spending most of his time hanging out with friends who were willing to give him attention, even if it was for all the wrong reasons. As he and his friends got older, this turned into petty lawbreaking; mostly trespassing, theft, and vandalism.<br/><br/>When his powers first manifested when he was 12, he was with his small circle of friends. At the time, they thought it was neat, and Ezra was immediately willing to use his power to help cure their boredom by aiding their illegal activities. When his powers originally manifested, it was tough for Ezra to keep a hold of anything -- including his clothing -- which, along with the visual effect of his teleporting, lead to him earning the nickname 'Streak.' He was approached by people from Xavier's school when he was 14, but refused their offer, not being able to imagine himself in some stuffy boarding school.<br/><br/>As time went on, the public became more aware of the mutant 'menace' and more people began to express their hatred, his circle of friends grew more strained and fractured. When the offer to once again join up with the Institute when Ezra was 16, he took the offer this time. He told himself it was to learn to use his powers better, but really, he just wanted into the potential protective bubble of the Institute. He continued to be a nuisance and a trouble-maker; some of the effects magnified by him remaining within the Institute's grounds, and being more open to explore his power.<br/><br/>It wasn't until the Brotherhood's attack that Ezra was forced to remember why he was at the Institute to begin with. He hated the feeling of being helpless, and after the dust settled, committed to taking a more active role in his own defense. He enrolled for more classes than ever before for the coming semester, and started seeking help even during the summer months in preparation for the year to come. Part of that training included approaching Scott Summers for self defense training -- which lasted a couple of weeks before the two were learned they were incompatible to work together. Scott then recommended, or shunted him off, to Logan Howlett. Logan didn't exactly appreciate the student forced off on him at first, and regardless of Ezra's complaining about being pushed to his limits, Ezra has shown to be worth Logan's time, and he's been learning to fight from Logan for the past two months.<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/><br/><strong>Type of mutant:</strong>Dormant Gene<br/><br/><strong>Powers:</strong><br/>-<em>Teleportation:</em>Ezra can teleport across distances instantly, which is usually accompanied by his image freezing in his last place and 'streaking' or bleeding in the direction he's teleported, before eventually fading from sight. Ezra can take objects with him, but has yet to carry more than 100lbs at once, and has yet to attempt teleporting with another person. Ezra can also effect his momentum through a teleport; increasing, decreasing, or even changing the direction of any momentum on his person. To date, his farthest single teleport has been just over 100 yards. Teleporting is mentally exhausting, and having 'cargo', effecting momentum, not having visuals on his target, and distance can all make it even more exhausting.<br/>-<em>Limited Danger Sense:</em>Ezra has a base understanding and awareness of where he is about to teleport, even if he wasn't able to physically perceive the location, or if things were to change, at his destination. This is not something Ezra can intentionally call upon, and the information only comes immediately before arriving at his destination, but it allows Ezra to react to his new location with immediate reflexes.<br/>-<em>Nurtured by the Beyond:</em>It's not clear where or how Ezra transverses from one place to the other, but wherever he goes nurtures and heals his body. While he becomes mentally exhausted, his wounds make steps along the healing process when he teleports. Having yet to experience any real grievous wounds, he is unsure of how far this goes.<br/><br/><strong>Abilities:</strong><br/>-<em>Parkour:</em>What used to be just a means to get where he wasn't supposed to be has since turned into a way to explore his own flexibility and quick reactions.<br/>-<em>Breaking and Entering:</em>While his past information would be hardly useful breaking into any sort of Black Ops facility -- when it comes to urban environments, Ezra is versed in how to get where he's not supposed to be; whether it's opening doors or bypassing alarms.<br/>-<em>Amateur Artist:</em>Ezra has a natural artistic eye, which is mostly expressed through simple crude drawings and graffiti art.<br/>-<em>Combat Training:</em>Ezra had minimal experience getting in fights and brawls growing up, but in the last few months, he's been taking his training more seriously. He was being tutored by Scott Summers, until he was determined impossible to deal with, and has since been working with Logan personally. It hasn't been a long time, but he's been a tenacious student.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_u">School Information</span></span><br/><strong>Classes Taken:</strong>Teleportation Training; Power Control; Strategy and Tactics; Clairvoyance; Mental Resistance<br/><br/><strong>Clubs/Extracurriculars:</strong><br/><br/><strong>Student Relations:</strong><br/>-<em>Scott 'Cyclops' Summers:</em>When Ezra wanted to learn how to defend himself, he had asked Scott to help train him in self defense. The two worked together for a few weeks, before Scott's strict regimen or Ezra's disobedience (depending on who you ask) made them incompatible to work together. Scott instead recommended him to Logan. Ezra attends Scott's Strategy and Tactics class, and while he sees Scott as being unnecessarily serious -- Ezra is happy enough with his new arrangement not to hold any grudge against Scott.<br/>-<em>Logan 'Wolverine' Howlett:</em>When Ezra was too much for Scott to handle (or to want to handle), Ezra was passed off to Logan. For the past two months, he's been working with Logan even outside of the self defense class. He's been spending a lot of his spare time learning how to fight, and more offensive uses of his power, making significant strides now that they've found a rhythm with each other.<br/>-<em>Laura 'Talon/X-23' Kinney:</em>Ezra met Laura through Logan originally, but the two became fast friends over the months since Laura arrived. Between both being Logan's students, and spending their free time being mischievous and rebelling in their own little way.<br/>-<em>Theo "Hulkling" Altman:</em>Ezra and Theo are friends, fuck-buddies, and general miscreants.<br/>-<em>Sean 'Banshee' Cassidy:</em>Ezra used to avoid Sean, as he did with any sort of police or authority figures. Since the attack, and with some assurance from Kyle that Sean wasn't 'all bad' -- Ezra has visited Sean while he was recovering, and since Sean has been able to talk again, Ezra has been getting to know him. Sean's skirting the line between authority and punk is a potential role model for Ezra, though he'd never say it out loud.<br/>-<em>Warren 'Angel' Worthington III:</em>Warren is a known tutor, and since the attack, Ezra is trying to make up for slacking off in the previous semester or get a head start in the next one. In the last month, since Warren has healed up, Warren's been helping Ezra with his academics, as well as some occasional fencing classes.<br/>-<em>Kyle 'Vyrus' Morgan:</em>Ezra and Kyle originally met over video games, but have since been swapping stories about how they've used their powers in ways that aren't legal in a traditional sense...
