Simon Everett Finch
FACE CLAIM: Jesse Williams
♦ THE BASICS ♦
AGE: 26
GENDER: Male
ORIENTATION: Bisexual
POSITION: On site power specialist/advisor♦ THE ABILITY ♦
POWER: Power mimicry.
Simon is able to mimic the power of any individual simply by touch. If he touches the skin of anyone with mutant powers, he is able to possess the same ability for a max of one hour. There is no effect on the person that the power is taken from, other than that someone else no has the same abilities.
LIMITATIONS:
- Simon cannot use more than one power at one time.
- He must gain the power through skin-to-skin contact.
- He cannot turn off his ability, so he usually wears gloves in order to prevent accidental occurrences.
- The power can last up to one hour, but if the power requires a great physical strain, then it often lasts a shorter amount of time (around half an hour).
- If he does not have a power in use, he is essentially powerless.
SIDE-EFFECTS:
Simon usually feels drained after using a power, and will need to take at least an hour’s break before using another. He has to take in a large amount of calories in order to sustain himself. If he uses two powers in a row or doesn’t eat enough, then he will pass out. Simon takes on the weakness and/or limitations of the power he uses.♦ THE CHARACTER ♦
HEIGHT: 6'1”
HAIR COLOR: Dark brown.
EYE COLOR: Light blue/green.
MISC: Simon has a tattoo of a bird (a finch, for obvious reasons) on the back of his right shoulder. He likes to dress professionally, and usually wears a tie or some sort of nice sweater.
PERSONALITY:
Simon is a cheery guy. He’s usually smiling, and he tends to look on the bright side of things. On the same beat, he often doesn’t talk, preferring to listen and smile encouragingly when he can. He’s great at asking leading questions and then following up with an intense stare that’s been known to break through the strongest of walls.
He takes a little bit to open up to people, as he himself won’t usually talk unless he feels comfortable. Mostly, to acquaintances he just seems stoic and optimistic. Likeable, but a bit of a mystery. To close friends, he can be more open about himself.
SECRET(S): Simon has an affinity for alcohol, but drinking usually makes him angry and brings out his worst qualities. He comes from a family of alcoholics.♦ THE HISTORY ♦
Simon grew up in a fairly regular home in western Canada. He went to school, played sports, and made friends easily. For the first eleven years of his life, everything was just about as normal as they could be.
Then, when he was eleven, his family packed up and moved to the United States. From then, other than the fact that he had to start at a new school with new people, everything was fine. That was, until two years later. Simon was playing street hockey, and checked another kid. When he went to help him up, he found himself suddenly able to see through walls. He panicked and ran away, fearful that mutant powers would make his family and everyone else afraid of him. However, the power subsided within an hour, and he thought he was safe.
When he was approached by recruiters from Bellefonte, he discovered that he had been wrong. He did have powers, they just weren’t what he had initially thought. Over his time as a student, he learned how to harness his powers and how to avoid mishaps, for the most part.
After graduating, he finished college, and then stayed on in a position that worked well with his abilities. He spends a lot of time working with students and advising them on how to live with their powers, since he can experience them just as they can.♦ THE PLAYER ♦
