Description of Mutant Power: Tetsuo's mutant ability consists mostly of a physical mutation generated through genetic experementation. He shares many physical traits with Velociraptor-like dinosaurs, like his clawed feet and long tail. But he also poseses incredible reflexes and senses like sight and hearing.
Source of Mutant Power: Combanation of natural genetics and genetic manipulation
Pros: He is very adept in martial arts, incredibly good at flips and jumps. His reflexes make it nearly imposible for even the most highly trained human to hit him. Stealth is another of his high points, calling himself a modern-day ninja because of how silently he can move when he wants to. His sharper eyesight allows him to see much further and in much more detail.
Cons: Tetsuo has a very big disadvantage when fighting in small spaces like a hallway or something similar, requiring enough room to flip and kick to use his toe-claws. Also, if caught off gaurd, his tail becomes a disadvantage. If grabbed, he loses all control over balance and will fall over.
Level of Mutant Power's Effect (1-5): 4 - Fast reflexes and deady accuracy
Level of Control over Power (1-5): 4 - Very skilled
Willingness to use Powers (1-5): 5 - Always using, more like natural abilitys than powers
Effect Powers have on Lifestyle: Tetsuo's powers don't realy affect him, its more his apperance that affects his lifestyle. The fact that he has a tail and is blue sometimes confuses people (they think, for a second, that he is a certain other blue mutant) His long, curved toe-claws sometimes get in the way of simple things like putting on pants...but he has learned to live with it. His attitude towards his "differences" is that he dosnt care, and wishes other people would shut up about it.
HISTORY
Family: None that are known
Step-father- Houenheim Ulrich- scientist who cared for him.
Age 0: Created in an underground lab, testing the effects of genetic manipulation on X-gene positive fetuses. He was one of the few to survuve. The genetic manipulation done to him was to create the ultimate close combat fighter. They still arent sure why he ended up resembling a velociraptor.
Age 6: Living in the care of a nurse that worked for the lab. He was given the name "Tetsuo", after a character in one of his step-father's favorite movies. There was two other mutants like him, "Akira" and "Kaneda". They didnt live past 6.
Age 7: He began to learn to control his body better. Using his long tail for balance. He began to learn how to fight. Even though he was treated with kindness by the nurses who cared for him, the scientists saw him more like a lab-rat than a living, thinking, being.
Age 8: The lab is raided and destroyed. His step-father, Houenheim, and his wife, one of the nurses, took him with them to continue tests and training in a secluded location.
Age 12: On a weekly excursion with his step-parents, Tetsuo is attacked by Anti-mutant extreemists. Pulled away from the arms of his parents, they beat him. They continue to attack him untill he snaps, lashing out at one of the men and slitting his throat with one of his long toe-claws. Another man tries to cut his head off with a chainsaw, he misses in his rage, removing Tetsuo's right arm. He is then saved by his step-father and rushed home.
Age 14: After living without his right arm for quite a while, his Father finishes his new arm. A mechanicle replacement made to replicate the shape of the arm very well, but also be sturdy enough to take a beating. It is connected to his shoulder and moves like a real arm, though it lacks all of the feeling of a real arm.
Age 16: As his father's funds dwindle, Tetsuo learns how to be stealthy. mastering the skills of a modern-day ninja, he sneaks into places like banks and jewlery stores to steal for his father. He is never caught, but rumors spread about a "lizard-man".
Age 17: Houenheim dies of heart-failure and his wife dissapears. Tetsuo remains in their house, stealing what he can. He learns how to blend into a city by pretending to be a crazy homeless person. He also learns how to fix cars, stealing several of them to sell for scrap.
Age 18: Tetsuo finds out about the
Xavier Institute for Higher Learning. He leaves his father's home to seek help. He only realy wanted to go for the free food, bed, and training...not for helping humans and mutants, but he would help if he had to.
