<div class="floatleft">(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x158/Punstarr/NewStudent.jpg)</div><strong>NAME:</strong>Samuel Bachner<br/><br/><strong>NOM DE GUERRE:</strong>Terminal Velocity<br/><br/><strong>AGE:</strong>17<br/><br/><strong>GENDER:</strong>Male<br/><br/><strong>ORIENTATION: </strong>Straight<br/><br/><strong>POSITION:</strong>Student (Junior)<br/><br/><strong>ORIGIN:</strong>Breed Mutant<br/><br/><strong>RESIDENCE:</strong>Detroit, MI<br/><br/><strong>POWERS:</strong>Major:  Superhuman Speed and Reactions.  Samuel is able to run, move and react at speeds exceeding Mach 1.  This has the side effect of allowing him to, if he wishes perceive his environment as though it were moving very slowly.  He has yet to fully explore the limits of his abilities.<br/><br/>Minor:  Energy Sheath: Samuel projects an aura that surrounds and protects him from excess heat and friction when he moves allowing him to ignore the enivromental effects of friction (including sonic booms) enabling him to surpass standard speed constraints. This aura seems to be a by-product of his super speed, and can slightly blunt physical attacks, as well as the effects of windburn and friction-heat.<br/><br/><br/><strong>The Appearance</strong><br/><br/><strong>EYE COLOR:</strong>Hazel<br/><br/><strong>HAIR COLOR:</strong>Black<br/><br/><strong>HEIGHT:</strong>5'10"<br/><br/><strong>WEIGHT:</strong>168 lbs<br/><br/><strong>BODY TYPE:</strong>Athletic<br/><br/><strong>APPEARANCE:</strong>See Picture<br/><br/><strong>Beyond the Image</strong><br/><br/><strong>LIKES:</strong>Running, Eating, Girls, Eating<br/><br/><strong>DISLIKES:</strong>Sitting Still, Moving Slowly, Math (Boo!)<br/><br/><strong>TALENTS:</strong>Video Games<br/><br/><strong>CHARACTER TRAITS:</strong>Impatient, Nice but Jittery<br/><br/><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong>Samuel can seem as though he is aflicted with ADHD, and in fact his mother thought for awhile that he suffered from that very disorder until his powers fully manifested.  He tries to do the right things, but sometimes the world just moves too slowly for him.<br/><br/><strong>HISTORY: </strong>Samuel was born to a woman who got pregnant at 20 and didn't even know she was a mutant, her abilities so minor that one could hardly even call them powers.  He grew up without a father, though various men would come and go from his mother's life... some of them decent and some of them rotten.  He made no beef about telling his mother about the rotten ones and to her credit she listened to his advice most of the time.  He was her pride and joy, after all.  The most important thing in her life.<br/><br/>When Samuel was 14 his powers manifested in a spectacular way, and while he managed to foil a bank robbery, he was hurt pretty badly in the process.  His escaped caught the attention of Ionic Burst of the Sentinels of Honor, who arranged for the boy to attend Nebula High that year.  Now, after two years of training, Sam has a good grasp of how not to hurt himself or others with his abilities, but he's still leery of testing the limits of his super powers.
