Name: Arthur Phillips
Occupation: Student
Alias: Deadlock
Mutation (powers): Each of Arthur’s hairs are made completely of muscle, each becoming like a small appendage. One side effect of Arthur’s power is that his hair seems to have a separate consciousness to him and can even continue fighting long after Arthur is unconscious. On their own, one hair is just about able to lift a hanky, but Arthur’s hair has overcome this problem on its own and it adjusts itself to become dreadlocks when both Arthur and it is awake. Arthur’s hair is also quite useful as a shield because his hair absorbs large amounts of calcium and excretes it over its surface, causing his hair to become hard as a bone but still flexible. His hair sometimes shakes itself to get Arthur’s attention, the calcium causing a rattlesnake sound.
Age: 16
Description of body (build, height, unique features, ect): Arthur is tall and has about a medium build. He’s usually wearing a tie-dye T-shirt and black trousers.

History: Arthur Phillips lived in London for his entire life, exploring the urban jungle as much as he could. He may look meek in appearance but he never backed down on a challenge, preferring the high up areas of the roofs of London to the crowded streets and roads. He always wandered around as much as he could, preferring to go out than listen to his parents shouting downstairs. One day on one of his nighttime excursions his parents were having another blazing fight downstairs. It was a pitch-black night because of the low clouds but he didn’t care, he needed to escape. Not thinking about where he was going the moon finally came out, showing Arthur’s right foot hovering over an abyss. Panicking he tried to gain his balance but fell forward into the seemingly endless fall. Just as he fell his hair shot out and caught the tiled roof of the house he just fell from. Shocked and slightly panicking Arthur was carried home and placed in bed by his own head of hair. Falling asleep, his hair wrapped him in a cocoon of hair. That’s how his parents found him the next morning, stuffing him in a taxi to Xavier’s the next day. They had wanted to get rid of him for ages and now they had an excuse.
Any serious physical or mental conditions: None, but sometimes he thinks his hair has some.
Hobbies: Arthur and his hair seem to share some interests, like drumming, exploring and playing video games. Some things one likes but the other doesn’t, like Arthur likes to read but his hair gets bored because it has no eyes. Arthur’s hair enjoys playing pranks, mainly on Arthur.
Personality: Arthur is nice and polite to people, always seeming cheerful and wanting to meet new people. His hair on the other hand doesn’t like many people and even when it likes them can seem a bit creepy; it tries to stay around for a while after Arthur has left.
Any pets: None, unless you count his hair.
Other: Sometimes Arthur can go to sleep but his hair will remain restless and decide to take a walk. On more than one occasion Arthur has woken up in the middle of the night to find him being carried around his house or the roofs of London.
Weakness: Apart from his hair, he has no powers. If he had his hair ripped off or even if his hair deserted him, he would be useless.
