Gregory Solomon Rosenthal
FACE CLAIM: Bernie Sanders (circa 1971)
♦ THE BASICS ♦
AGE: 19
GENDER: Male
ORIENTATION: Heterosexual
POSITION: Student Librarian at Bellefont Academy♦ THE ABILITY ♦
POWER:
Physiological Manipulation
The ability to stretch and manipulate one's body to whatever form is necessary, such as using your head and neck as a makeshift grappling hook or your fingers as a lockpick, or even just reaching things that are far away, which is essential for any university student working as one of the many librarians in the school's library. Greg Rosenthal mostly uses his abilities for the mundane tasks of grabbing items that are out of reach and stabilizing his body when tripping or falling.
LIMITATIONS:
Limbs and appendages can stretch out to approximately 50ft long, but are also subject to fracturing, loss of blood, and amputation like any other non-stretchy arm or leg. In fact, fracturing is more common, due to loss of bone density, and the resulting thinner skin is more subject to bruising.
SIDE-EFFECTS:
Use of Physiological Manipulation leads to arthritis pain and other forms of joint and skeletal damage, such as fractures, tissue erosion, loss of bone density, and frequent dislocation. Another side effect is premature aging, due to the stress of contorting and stretching one's body in unnatural ways.♦ THE CHARACTER ♦
HEIGHT: 5 ft 8 in
HAIR COLOR: Black with graying sides
EYE COLOR: Green
MISC: Greg has glasses, braces, thick eyebrows, and an appendix removal scar
PERSONALITY: Greg is generally quite shy and awkward, with an almost debilitating inability to make eye contact with strangers. He has a sense of humour that is equal parts dark, snarky, and absurd, and is a fan of quite a few indie/alternative bands and 60s and 70s musicians. Though he has no problem with Australians, he despises being mistaken to one, but he's often too polite or apathetic to say anything about it. He tends to stutter around pretty girls and beautiful women, much to his consternation. Unfortunately, Greg doesn't really know how to comunicate with people, which feeds into his fear of not only be rejected as a peer or partner, but also his fear of dying alone due to being unlovable. However, once someone gets to know him, he can be charming and witty.
SECRET(S): Is a talented Bass singer and cartoonist♦ THE HISTORY ♦
Gregory Solomon Rosenthal was born in Christchurch New Zealand on July 27th, 1997 to parents Levi and Evilyn Rosenthal. He lived an ordinary enough life as a single child, loved by his parents, bullied by his peers, attending school on the weekdays and evening Temple on Saturdays. It wasn't until the age of 13 when Greg discovered his powers, when he fell out of a tree and reached for a branch. Though he landed on the ground, Greg found that he did catch a branch; one 15ft above the ground. His parents were as confused and horrified as he was, though it did bring to mind Evilyn's grandfather, who could breath underwater. Greg was then sent to Sir Henry Barnett Academy, both for its educational system and the fact that it was the closest English speaking school for mutants.
The academy was very good to the young Mr Rosenthal, for the most part. The food was decent, the curriculum was challenging, and the library was
quiet enough to study or doodle in. However, he never made more than an acquaintance with the fellow students, largely because of his avoidant behavior, though he has befriended one of the professors. Greg Rosenthal transferred to Bellefonte Academy in his fourth year, and is now in the college program as an Animation major and a student librarian at the academy.♦ THE PLAYER ♦
