LUIS OLIVIO HORTA

---

---

User Name: [ancienteye]

Character name: Luis Olivio Horta.

Mutant Name: Pathos

Classification: Student.

Abilities/powers: Empathic abilities. He can sense other people’s emotions and can even be influenced by particularly strong or unruly ones. Likewise, if he ever flew into a rage or experienced tremendous grief, it would pass through and influence the emotions of anyone present, but he usually avoids such situations. While he can sense emotions, he in no way can read minds, so if someone were to barge in, he would be able to tell if they were happy or frustrated, but would be completely clueless as to why unless he asked. But he would not ask. Not unless he thought it was important for him to know.

Sex: Male.

Age/Date of Birth: 16

General appearance: Olivio has thick black hair and hazel eyes. He is a bit short for his age and considerably slight in build. His skin is darkly tanned, and he keeps his hair cut choppily at about ear-length.

Additional Appearance: Olivio usually looks rather tired with dark rings under his eyes.

Personality: Olivio’s ability would indicate that he is a very compassionate and understanding individual. While this is not necessarily untrue, he despises not being able to control his own emotions, so he makes a point of avoiding over-emotional or hot-tempered people (and small children) as much as possible. Olivio also prizes honesty and privacy above all else, so he comes across as blunt or cold quite often, but if he has a secret (or knows someone else’s) he would plainly tell anyone who wanted to know what it was that it is none of their business and leave it at that. He generally does not pry into other people’s lives and believes that everyone has the right to their own choices and opinions. But if you ask his opinion on anything, he is not going to be tactful about it.

Special Skills: He was very good with children before he gained his powers, but he tries to avoid them, now. Olivio also has first-aid knowledge and has become more adept with animals since his powers developed.

Place of birth: Seattle, Washington.

Weapon(s) of choice: Olivio has never had to fight before and is not proficient in any weapon.

Brief History: Olivio spent most of his life living in a very big city and with a whole lot of people and has spent the past couple of years avoiding as many of them as possible. He grew up as a single child with his aunt, uncle and multiple younger cousins living right down the street. Because of this, he was the family babysitter for quite a while and spent most time at his aunt’s house whenever his parents were working. When he was about 14 his youngest cousin (who was about four years old) started having a temper tantrum and instead of reacting in his usual calm and firm manner, Olivio felt a spike of rage and yelled right back at him. For the first year or so he was heavily influenced by his family’s emotions and had a hard time distinguishing the emotions of different people—including his own. He has learned more control since, but still reacts strongly to extreme emotion.

Relatives: He has parents that named him after his deceased uncle. And his grandfather. And at least two of his cousins were similarly named after them. Basically, there is a lot of Luis Hortas, which is why he’s called Olivio.
