Ethan Beckett
User Name: [
Rice]
Character name: Ethan Beckett.
Mutant Name: Kost. (Means 'bone' in Serbian)
Abilities/powers: Bone manipulation - Ability to manipulate the bones in one's own body. This includes, but is not limited to, the generation of new bone mass, projecting bones out from the skin or rearranging one's own bones. Ethan's favourite, and most commonly used attack is extending the bone in his arm and forcing it out through his wrist and over his hand, making a wide thin black almost bayonet shaped. The down side to his ability is that in order for the bone to extend it has to break through the skin, and seeing as he has normal human regenerative abilities it causes intense pain and deep cuts. He has to be selective and careful with his ability else he could seriously harm himself. This is why he uses the same move, the wrist blades, it means only one or two wounds at a time.
Sex: Male.
Age: 18.
General appearance: Ethan is around 5'9ft, he has your normal teenage boy physic and is as far from muscular you can get without being skinny. His limbs are a bit lankier than his torso making him look slightly awkward when he moves. He has a light olive skin tone, passed down from his Serbian mother, and cool grey eyes, which while in America are considered unique, are in fact the most common eye colour in Serbia. Ethan has dark ask brown hair kept in a casual style and often a six o'clock shadow making him look quite rugged and a bit grungy. His features are your traditional Serbian features mixed with a bit of American, a long nose, small mouth, and narrow eyes. Clothes wise Ethan is quite relaxed and casual for the most part, baggy t-shirts, jeans, maybe a jacket here of there, he isn't one to dress up.
Additional Appearance: He wears a pair of black rimmed glasses most of the time but can see okay without them, ironically when in combat he is better without them.

Personality: Ethan is a very guarded and oddly self conscious person, he hides his teenage insecurities behind a fairly lazy facade. He has this chronic fear of being depended on and can't stand people liking him since it implies attachment. He is one of those guys who doesn't like to be tied down or feel caged and thinks in order to be free you have to be indifferent to everyone around you. As said previously he is very lazy, it's impossible to make him do something he doesn't want to do and he is very stubborn in his ways, the more you push the more he pulls back. He is also quite passive aggressive, often purposefully confusing people to make them feel uncomfortable or even implying things that might hurt their feelings, possibly just to make him feel better. Ethan doesn't seem to care about people in general and is dreadfully misanthropic and cynical, he makes jokes about things you ought not to joke about and generally sulks around like he is at an all time low. Ethan seems to be going through a late bout of teenage angst, though when coupled with his ability it's not hard to figure out why he might feel out of place at times. Ethan can't handle people being nice to him and is very paranoid about their motives, he is too pessmissitic to think that they are being nice because they are a nice person.
Special Skills: Ethan know self defense, taught to him by his father who is in the army, so he knows how to handle himself and is quite a good strategist. Able to think quickly and react well. He gets good grades in high school and studies hard so, keeping up his grades could be considered a skill. Other than that he doesn't have any defining qualities worth mentioning.
Place of birth: Serbia.
Weapon(s) of choice: Anything he can get his hands on but to be honest he isn't the type of person to get into a fight easily and will only do so as a last resort. But if he does get dragged into a fight he is pretty good and shifting the blame onto someone else.
Medical information: He wears reading glasses and needs to get stitches quite often due to his ability. He also has type 1 diabetes but doesn't take care of himself in that sense, he is addicted to coke and constantly makes himself ill.
Brief History: Ethan was born in Serbia to a Serbian mother and American father. His father is from New York and is in the marines, he met his wife, while stationed in Serbia for training, and the two married after only 3 months, having Ethan's eldest sister only 7 months later, which implies the only reason they got married was out of wedlock. Ethan was born 2 years after his sister and another 1 year after that they moved to New York. He finds his family very embarrassing, his father is a stern-faced army man who constantly tries to make his son follow in his foot steps. His mother is your classic house wife, emotional and overly affectionate and loving, his sister on the other hand is a complete bitch and will always scold and boss Ethan around when their in the same room. Ethan's sister Anna is also a mutant but her power is much less noticeable, she has an eidetic memory.
Relatives: Father (Michael Beckett), Mother (Mika Beckett), and older sister (Anna Beckett).
How long your character has been in the mansion: 1 month.
Vlad - 3, he doesn't really like this guy but considering most people are a 1 in his case 3 is a fairly okay score. He is intimdated by him and that annoys him and makes him dislike the Russian more, however he is slowly becoming a little more comfortable with him, Ethan just doesn't realise it yet.
