His ability is limited by the energy stored within his body and should he push his abilities too hard, especially with his currently insufficient degree of control, he will enter a state of hypoglycaemic shock. Depending on the energy deficit, this shock may be sufficient to render him unconscious, comatose or dead. A side effect of using his powers for any major or sustained effort is a massive increase in hunger and metabolic rate until his chemical energy stores are replenished.<br/><br/><strong>Minor: Levitation</strong><br/>John Paul is able to use his telekinetic abilities to affect himself. This mainly permits him to levitate and fly. Although he has the capability to throw himself out of the path of danger, he uses this aspect of the power only in emergencies because feeling like he is punching himself with his mind weirds him out.</span></span><br/><br/><div class="floatright">(http://www.michaelroud.com/data/photos/169_1headshot_los_angeles_0025.jpg)</div> <br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: garamond;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="bbc_u">The Appearance</span><br/><br/>EYE COLOR: Cloudy grey-blue with light grey-blue flecks<br/><br/>HAIR COLOR: Cappuchino brown with light brown highlights.<br/><br/>HEIGHT: 5ft 11in / 182cm<br/><br/>WEIGHT: 155 lbs / 70.5kg<br/><br/>BODY TYPE: Normal build, lithely muscled from favouring outdoor exercise such as running or swimming.<br/><br/>APPEARANCE: Keeps himself well-groomed and favours a smart-casual wardrobe featuring open-collared shirts and jackets.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Beyond the Image</span><br/><br/>LIKES: Friendly people, dogs, flying, maths, science, dancing, pop &amp; dance music, running, swimming, Italian &amp; Oriental food, coffee, creating motion art with his powers, saving lives and helping people.<br/><br/>DISLIKES: Intolerance (especially by religious groups), overbearing authority, being a lab rat, psychiatrists, centipedes/millipedes, Christian choral music, over-seasoned food, people who drive under the influence, bullies and his father.<br/><br/>TALENTS: <br/>Having taken an interest in the mechanics behind what he can do, John Paul is great with numbers, especially in the arena of applied mathematics.<br/>With a genuine interest in getting to know people and help others, he is both sociable and a good teacher.<br/>John Paul has an excellent grasp of spatial mechanics and is easily capable of keeping track of the position of multiple objects.<br/>Matching his control of kinetic energy with his knowledge, John Paul can create short-lived, breathtaking works of moving sculpture. <br/>While not in the same class as his brother, John Paul can work a kitchen and favours preparing Italian and oriental cuisine.<br/><br/>CHARACTER TRAITS: <br/>Brave - Not afraid to leap after he looks into the abyss<br/>Adventurous - Curious to try new things and see new places<br/>Loyal - A friend is for life, not just the party he meets them at<br/>Friendly - A stranger is a friend he hasn't gotten to know yet<br/>Rash - Is prone to leaping before he looks<br/>Direct - Sometimes he forgets people need white lies<br/>Trusting - Why would people lie about that?<br/>Rebellious - Doesn't respond well to hands-on authority<br/><br/>PERSONALITY: <br/>Given his strict upbringing, John Paul is remarkably well-adjusted. He makes friends easily and adjusts well to new situations. If there is a friend in need, John Paul will do whatever it takes to help them - a tendency that has gotten him in trouble when the friend is less than honest with him. While he appreciates the need for authority figures, he doesn't tend to deal with it well when those same figures get directly involved in his affairs. John Paul has a creative bent and enjoys creating works of art.<br/><br/>BACKGROUND: <br/>Like many kids growing up in a strict Christian household and attending a Christian primary school, John Paul's early experiences were shaped by the beliefs of his parents, specifically his father. It wasn't until he started attending secondary school that his eyes were opened to the many charms and diversions of the wider world. He wanted to see and try it all, but his father's oft stated beliefs otherwise hurt the young teen. Unable to stand up to his father, he started resisting other sources of authority. This created more trouble between himself and his father, eventually sundering the household enough that John Paul had to move in with his older brother. Having been through a similar process, although less confrontational about it than John Paul, the older brother was able to provide an environment that helped foster adventure and imagination.<br/><br/>Free of his father's disapproval at home, John Paul grew in leaps and bounds. Becoming less openly rebellious, he began doing better in school and found that he actually enjoyed some of the syllabus. Free of the strict rules he had grown up with, he started socialising and partying a lot more. Helping his brother in the kitchen at home, John Paul discovered a love for home cooking. He enjoyed discovering girls although, after a talk from his brother and sister, he became a lot more careful with his dalliances. He even experimented with boys and found it to be an enjoyable experience. By the end of Year 10 (NB - freshman equivalent) John Paul was a happy, productive student well-liked by his peers and was eager to return to his studies after the summer.<br/><br/>Then the incident occurred and everything changed. On the 12th August 2010, the family came together for his mother's 54th birthday at Sapori D'Italia, the restaurant run by John Paul's brother. The meal went well, so well in fact that it was one of the nicest family moments John Paul could remember. Afterwards, as they all climbed into the car home, something prompted John Paul to turn and look back. As a result, he was the only one of the group who saw the oncoming hatchback clip a parked car and careen out of control. With fifteen-hundred kilo's of metal flipping and hurtling towards him, all John Paul could do was watch in stunned horror. The car flipped into the air and, despite knowing that there was nothing he could do against that kind of momentum, John Paul threw his arms up to try and stop it. In the last moments of his life he closed his eyes, wishing he could have done something, anything to save his family.<br/><br/>Something flashed through him, red-hot and prickly. Then the screaming started. Opening his eyes, through his shaking vision, he could make out the car hanging in mid-air only inches from his outstretched arms. He blinked, trying to think through what was happening, but his thoughts had turned to glue. He felt cold, so very cold. And so very tired. As a wave of hot-cold darkness dragged him into unconsciousness, he just had time to recognise the tortured, grinding sound of the hatchback falling to the floor.<br/><br/>When he awakened in hospital three days later, John Paul found out that everything had changed. His first clue were the suited men standing guard in his room. The second came when their superior introduced himself as being from the Department of Superhuman Affairs. The final clue was being told that from the start of the next term, the remainder of his schooling would take place at Nebula High. After several hours, he was allowed to see his family and there too he discovered much change. Now disowned by his father, his mother had been unable to visit John Paul in hospital. She had sent a care package through his sister though and a letter. His siblings seemed to have taken the development in their stride, although it was obvious neither really knew what to make of it.<br/><br/>Between getting out of hospital and starting at the new school, John Paul was poked and prodded by every specialist that could persuade the DSA to permit them their investigations. As much as he needed to know how he did what he could do, the teenager quickly grew to hate those sessions. The worst were the head-doctors with all their questions - as if he had had enough time to figure out how he felt about anything yet! Eventually though, it was time to travel to Nebula High.<br/><br/>It was hard at first, adapting to the new environment, so similar to what he had known and yet totally different. But adapt he did, and soon learned to enjoy his new circumstances. (Leaving this vague to fill in later/build with returning students who want to link our backgrounds somehow!)<br/><br/>After two successful years at Nebula High, John Paul anticipated returning for his Senior year.</span></span></div>
