++Application for Enrolment++
The Person
Name: Bennet Du Paris
Age: 26
Place of Birth: Avignon, France
Applying too: Genosha
In what capacity: Member of Brotherhood, Champion of Genosha
Family: Unnamed Parents
Height: 6" ft
Weight: 195 lbs
Appearance:
Skills: Speaks French, English & Epsilon-Omega fluently, trained in hand-to-hand combat, but lacks experience due to relying on powers. He is also a skilled orator, also aided by his powers.
Personality: Bennet is overall is today, an overall pleasant individual, he enjoys banter, socialising and the day to day life of a mutant in Genosha. When he gets excited about something (be it in a positive or negative way) his speech often half reverts to his native French.
While generally pleasant, when confronted by anything that threatens the Genosha way of life, be it an internal or external threat, he becomes a very different individual and will willingly use his abilities to perform swift and "righteous" zeal filled vengeance. Bennet has become totally immersed in the Genosha and Mutant way of life, as such, what others consider "mutant costumes" he considers typical Genoshan dress, totally normal wear for a mutant. He also has totally dropped the name Bennet Du Paris, going only by Exodus.
It should be noted that this pleasant demeanour can only last as long as the mental blocks over his powers are in place, as his mind is not prepared for what he can do as a mutant, which causes mental instability.

The Mutant
Codename: Exodus
Mutant Abilities: Exodus is an Alpha level mutant & in fact, one of the most powerful on the planet, but this is only if the mental blocks that limit his abilities were to be removed. Abilities marked with a * have been affected by mental blocks.
*Telekinesis: Exodus is an extremely powerful Telekinetic, able to lift extreme weights, generate near invulnerable force fields around him, and project damaging blasts. With the mental blocks in place, he can lift, at a push, 50 tons. By using his telekinesis to increase his strength, which is a more concentrated method of using his telekinesis, he can lift 75 tons.
*Healing/*Resurrection: Exodus is able to use his powers, in an unknown manner, to heal injuries to himself and others, and while unrealised by him, Genoshan scientists have realised his abilities could easily be used to revive the dead. At the moment however, his mental blocks would make this impossible, he can still heal horrific injuries however.
*Pyroplasmic Blasts: Exodus can manipulate the electromagnetic spectrum so as to release tremendous amounts of heat to incinerate specific targets. With his mental blocks in place, these have been reduced in power considerably, they are still capable of punching a whole through most metals however, short of titanium.
Teleportation: Exodus is able to psionically transport himself, his clothing, and additional mass from one location to another. He could easily transport himself and the entire brotherhood from Genosha to the X-mansion. He needs to know where he's going.
*Telepathy: Exodus is a telepath of extreme power, before the blocks were put in place, Genoshan scientists monitored his abilities and at times they matched the highest readings of telepathic abilities ever recorded, one such reading belonging to Xavier himself. He displayed abilities such as willing a dozen individuals trained to resist telepathy to fall asleep, which they did almost instantly. Even with the blocks in place, he is able to mentally communicate with an individual several miles away, or read their mind.
Telepathic Tracking: Exodus can detect and track other sentient beings by their unique psionic emanations (thought patterns contained in the psionic portion of the spectrum) especially if they pose a threat to his well-being in his immediate vicinity.
*Telepathic Cloak: Can mask his presence from being detected by others. His abilities can at times go undetected or be counteracted by other more powerful telepaths depending on their level of skill in using their own psi abilities. He can extend these defences to others around him as well. With the blocks in place, he can only protect himself, and perhaps one other at a push.
*Mind Control: Exodus capable of controlling the minds of others but with his mental blocks in place, it is an extremely difficult feat.
Telepathic Illusions: Exodus has the ability to create illusions to make himself seem to be invisible, look like someone else, or make others experience events that are not truly happening.
Mental Paralysis: Exodus has the ability to induce temporary mental or physical paralysis.
*Mental Amnesia: Can erase any awareness of particular memories or cause total amnesia. With blocks in place, this is a difficult task, and can only be performed on an already subdued or mentally vulnerable person.
*Psionic Blasts: can project psionic force bolts which have no physical effects but which can affect a victim's mind so as to cause the victim pain or unconsciousness. The blocks in place reduce the overall ability of these blasts.
*Astral Projection: can project his astral form from her body onto astral planes or the physical planes. In the physical plane he can only travel in astral form over short distances. In the astral plane, he can mentally create psionic objects and manipulate the aspects of her environment. While blocks were not put in place to stop this in general, it is lowered as a consequence of his other telepathic abilities being reduced.
Belief: One of the stranger aspects of his abilities, they all increase if people present believe in his ability to use them, the more people believing in him the higher his abilities will increase. It is believed that should someone attack Genosha, and the entire population of the country would believe in Exodus's ability to protect them, he would become a Psychic Juggernaut of sorts.
Physical Appearance: For an unknown reason, Exodus's abilities have caused his skin to turn red.
Immortality: While unaware of it so far as he's only 21, but Exodus is immortal.
Weaknesses:
Powers: Exodus is an Alpha level Mutant of the highest degree, but his mind is not yet ready for the strain his full scale abilities would put on him, and as such, when his powers first manifested, not only did he have a poor control over them, but also they caused him to become mentally unstable, often suffering fits of unprovoked aggression, caused panic attacks, paranoia and he was on the road to becoming a total sociopath. If his blocks were to be removed and his mind not ready, it is extremely likely all these would start to develop again.
History: Bennet Du Paris was born in Avignon, in France. His upbringing was very normal, but he always felt different, like he had a hidden power. Which of course was true, not that anyone knew it back then. Everything was normal, until he entered his teenage years, this is when the strange things started happening. He overheard thoughts, objects moved across rooms, luckily nobody ever saw that, to his knowledge.
Young Bennet worried about it considerable, all the voices he heard in his head were having a terrible toll on the boy, and he felt he had nobody to turn too. It got worst as he developed a skin condition, the pigment in his skin was turning red, and the doctors were completely confused. While he could hide his mind reading and objects moving randomly, to some degree, it was a different story to hide his skin.
One night, when he was fifteen, in his sleep, he was having a knightmare which scared him so much, he generated a massive telekinetic disc that caused massive damage to the entire city. Before he himself knew what was going on, his house nearly collapsed on top of him, but it would not be his powers that stopped them from crushing him into nothing, he opened his eyes into the night, and found two people, floating in the air. They explained they were Magneto and Polaris, who knew of his abilities. They told him many things, and told him about Genosha. Not expecting a normal life in France anymore, Bennet agreed. Before they left, Magneto asked him to try something, to try reaching out to every mind in the country, and make them think an Earthquake caused the damage. Bennet, which some reluctancy, tried it.
The task went as well as could be expected for someone who had vast raw power but no experience, and while it gave an excellent gauge of his abilities to Magneto, it also succeeded in a second task, the strain caused the boy to pass out, which made transporting him back to Genosha much easier. Once back in Genosha, he was surrounded by people aiding him in developing his abilities. In the mornings he he worked with the finest doctors and scientists in Genosha, in the afternoons he trained with the Brotherhood and in the evening he walked the streets of Genosha, getting to know its people and its culture.
Eventually the mental strain of his abilities was manifesting itself dangerously, and although Magneto was sad to casterate the boys powers, he knew it was required, for now. The finest telepaths in Genosha were brought together and erected a series of mental blocks, limiting his powers considerable. His telekinetic abilties were brought down to less then 1% of their original power, such a depowering of a mutant had never been attempted before, but the success on Exodus proved that it can be done.
Even when depowered to such a degree, Exodus was still very powerful, and sat on the Brotherhoods most elite tables, making company with Magneto and his family on regular occasions, and becoming involved in Brotherhood business. Exodus became the living embodiment of Genosha spirit, he spoke the language, was a patron of the arts of sorts and with his young attractive face, bearing a red tint that allowed him to somewhat understand those with physical mutations, he became a poster boy for the Brotherhood and Genosha, declaring him the Champion of Genosha, a title in name alone, which refers to him as a poster boy more then a champion in the traditional sense. Exodus even became a very important figure in the Church of Genosha, that consider Magneto a Mutant Messiah.
Exodus has continued to serve as one of Magneto's most loyal lieutenants and capable members of the Brotherhood. When Apocalypse's armies were unleashed on the world and even targeted Genosha, Exodus took the fight to the front line, using psionic warfare to raise morale in Magneto's forces and demoralise his opponents, but the many machines of Apocalypse could not be demoralised, and were in overwhelming numbers. When Magneto returned from space, Exodus having been made privy to his location from the beginning, the French born mutant aided Magneto is lifting the capital city into space, only capable due to the massively increased population of Genosha, now over sixteen million people, had faith in his abilities.
Since then, Exodus has been a constant presence in the war against Apocalypse, using his psionic power to wage psychic warfare and using his teleportation to aid in their hit and run campaigns.
RP Sample:
Exodus was in the Palace of Genosha, quick steps brought him out to the main balcony, where speeches were often held, as would one be today. He stood atop the balcony, floating onto the banister, in his black and red attire, a white cloak and his golden ornamentation. He smiled to the people, and they cheered for him.
"People of Genosha! Inheriter's of the Earth! Our Lord, the Mutant Messiah, Magneto, has travelled to America, a land of humans where bigotry and hate are as common as the ground we walk upon, but this is not without reason, he has gone to a friend, one Charles Xavier, a telepath like some of you, who runs a school for the Children of the Atom! There, he shall teach them and guide them as he has done so for us, and when the time is ready, he shall bring our brothers and sisters from across the sea....back to us." he boasted it and he yelled it, he telepathically sent it from one mind to another, a wave of euphoria was in the air. He may have had something to do with that too.
