Add to that he has an above average IQ and was typically one of the smallest boys in his age group. So he was quickly labeled as geek or nerd throughout his school years. As a result he grew up being rather shy and socially awkward. As an adult with powers he has grown out of most of that but still occasionally has bouts of self doubt when dealing with other people.<br/><br/>He is usually a kind caring person. He will go out of his way to help total strangers and will do just about anything for friends. One thing he has no tolerance for though is bullies. He was bullied all of his childhood and most of his teen years, so will not tolerate it around him.<br/><br/>He does have a sense of humor and loves to laugh and see and hear others laughing as long as it is not at somebody else's expense. He does not like to be alone, but yet does not like being in too large a group either.<br/><br/><strong>Hobbies:</strong>He loves technology, computers, video games, etc. He also loves vehicles of all sorts, basically anything with a motor.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong><br/>Nate was born the second child of three to a middle class family in Chicago. Life was okay they did not have everything they wanted but did have everything they needed. Being one of three children though he spent most of his time home with his family having to share a bedroom. At first it was his sister four years older than him. When she got her own room his brother five years younger moved in. He did not get a room of his own even when his sister went off to college, so she would still have a place when she came home.<br/><br/>He always seemed to be the smallest but smartest kid in his classes at school. The other kids resented his intelligence and bullied him because of his size. Despite the teachers and others adults saying to report bullying he soon stopped because all that accomplished was it getting worse.<br/><br/>When he was 15 though he got sick, in that he was having really bad headaches and was running a mild fever. During that short time he was put in his sisters room. Light seemed to make the headaches worse so the windows were blacked out and the lights left off. This left him in near total darkness for two days. His parents were just about to call the doctor. As he sat on the bed with his head between his knees and just trying to will the pain to stop it suddenly did.<br/><br/>The pain was replaced by an entirely new sensation though. He could quite literally feel everything around him as if he were touching it but he was not touching not physically anyway. Being able to feel his surroundings he moved through the pitch black in the unfamiliar room straight to the wall switch and turned the light on. In the light the spacial awareness did not go away.<br/><br/>He soon realized that with very light concentration he could exert force against objects just as if he were using his hand. He had telekinesis. More than that though with concentration he could extend his spacial awareness into matter and actually feel the molecules. At first he just tried speeding them up causing heat or slowing them down making things cold. Later though he found he could do more than that, he could reshape the material. The base molecules remained the same but he could do almost anything with the material.<br/><br/>He could repair broken items as if they had never been broken. At first it was just simple things. Glass, wood, leather. To do more complex things he needed to know how they worked and how parts fit together before they broke.<br/><br/>That was all well and good. The best part about it though for him at that time was he was able to put a stop to the bullying. His power had no visible affects so he managed to stop the bullies without them realizing he was a mutant.<br/><br/>He then focused on learning how to better use his power and learning about technology so he could fix and one day modify things. He also wanted to become a superhero, so practiced with more broad uses of his power than just repairing or reshaping things.<br/><br/>Though he was only 15 he started going out at night to experiment and fight crime. He started small stopping assaults. Once he realized that he could fly he took to patrolling the city streets looking for crimes to stop. Because he was not the type off person to simply do things from the shadows by remote it did not take too long before he got injured. This lead him to turn power towards defense. He tried creating a force field but maintaining this was very taxing and used all of his power.<br/><br/>It took time, concentration, and a lot of practice but he finally learned to use only a small amount of his power to simply make his body resistant to damage. He certainly was not completely invulnerable but resistant to injury.<br/><br/>In school he threw himself into his studies of physics and engineering. He needed to know how everything worked so he could fix them. He also spent a great deal of time in junkyards tearing apart vehicles to learn how they went back together.<br/><br/>It was not until he was 20 and in his second year of college that he received a letter from Xavier's Institute For Higher Learning. To his surprise the letter and brochure actually said that the students and staff were primarily mutants. Because he was not really having much luck with making and keeping friends due in part at least to him being a mutant he decided to go and check it out. He liked it and stayed. So now he would be starting his fourth year there.<br/><br/>When the brotherhood attacked he fought for all he was worth alongside students and teachers. When he recovered from his minor injures enough he immediately began using his power and ability to repair to restore the mansion back to pre-attack condition.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_u">Mutations and Powers</span></span><br/><strong>Classification:</strong>Beta with Alpha potential<br/><br/><strong>Type of mutant:</strong>Generation skip<br/><br/><strong>Powers:</strong><br/>Telekinesis: Pure and simple this is the basis for all of his powers. He can affect matter with his mind. On a sheer power level he is not really that strong he can only lift a max of about 900 lbs (400 kg). This power has no visible affects, but is detectable as a mental power, it causes interference with radio waves, and has a mild ozone odor.<br/>Spacial Awareness: Through passive telekinetic tendrils always emanating from him he can quite literally feel the world around him as if touching it. This is completely passive just like any other sense which he cannot turn off and is undetectable. He can focus down to the atomic leave with concentration. Giving him the ability to affect objects on the molecular level.<br/>TK punch: He hits target with full force of his TK strength<br/>TK bullet: The punch focused down into a much smaller point making it about as lethal as a 9mm.<br/>TK blades: blades about 10 inches in length form on his fists to make punch daggers. A visual aspect has been added so these show up as glowing a light blue. The force has a vibration so they can cut through just about anything.(notable exceptions would adamantium and vibranium)<br/>Flight: He can fly and levitate. The max speed he has achieved so far is about 400 mph. To go that fast though he needs to wear his modified helmet which allows him to breath. Traveling that fast without the helmet wind sheer prevents breathing.<br/>Enhanced strength: By using his power to augment his physical strength he has managed to increase his strength well beyond the 900 lbs he can lift with just his TK. He does not know why but doing this allows him able to lift several tons easily.<br/>Enhanced agility, dexterity, and speed: When augmenting his physical abilities his reactions are a lot faster than normally humanly possible (speed of thought)<br/>Defenses: He first tried putting a telekinetic shield around himself but found that was too taxing and did not allow other uses of his power. He learned to again internalize it and simply made his body and mind resistant to damage. He also has modified his suit to be low level armor.<br/>Invisibility: By manipulating air molecules he can have light, all light, refract around him rendering him invisible. He can also keep any sound or particle from leaving this field, he cannot he heard or smelled. This requires his full concentration though so cannot manipulate objects remotely.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Abilities:</strong><br/>He has learned a great deal about all things technological and can repair just about anything back to like new or even better condition, from computers to vehicles. He has taught himself a number of different styles of martial arts and street fighting. He has better than average hacker knowledge of computers. He speaks Spanish, German, and French on top of his native language of English. He also has a flare for art. He may be very good with his hands, but with his TK he can do amazing things.<br/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_u">School Information</span></span><br/><strong>Classes Taken:</strong><br/>Languages<br/>Strategy and Tactics<br/>History (Mutant & Human)<br/>College level mathematics<br/>Sciences<br/>Engineering<br/>Demolitions<br/><br/><strong>Clubs/Extracurricular:</strong><br/>X-Force<br/><strong>Student Relations:</strong>TBD
