The Person
Name: Alexander Linton-Davis
Age: 33
Place of Birth: Cork, Republic of Ireland
Applying too: Massachusetts Academy
In what capacity: Teacher – Irish (and Epsilon Omega)
Family: Mark Davis (Father), Gil Linton-Davis (Mother)
Height: 6”2
Weight: 614 lbs
Appearance:
Skills: Alexander speaks English, Irish (fluently) and Epsilon-Omega (near fluently). He has moderate ability in both Kick Boxing, which he took up as a young boy and when he joined the Brotherhood, took up the more lethal Muay Boran, he possess a intermediate talent in both, he has been playing the Cello as long as he has been studying Kick Boxing. He is in the expected physical condition of a superhuman who engages in regular intensive exercise. He has a high degree of control with most of his powers, able to exert almost exactly the strength he wants.
Personality: Alex has a great sense of camaraderie, enjoying to rile up and joke with his friends. Enjoying friendly banter and general socializing. Since obtaining his powers he's gained a greater sense of confidence and in his teenage years tended to be the knight in shining armor whenever he could, going on to train with the Brotherhood has increased this all the more.
He has a great sense of Pride in being a mutant, and although he's left the Brotherhood, it was on good terms, with Magneto at least, believing that mutants in Genosha were quite safe, but those in other parts needed care of people like himself more, which is what led him to the Massachusetts Academy. He does however, harbor some feelings of annoyance at the length Magneto has been going, and if it comes to it, he would fight his former allies.
He enjoys the thrill of the fight against powerful opponents, but doesn't let such joys put people at risk or take his attention away from serious threats. He is also near constantly in search of satisfying his carnal desires, albeit this does not mean he jumps from bed to bed, in fact, he would be very satisfied by a monogamous relationship. He has quite a knowledge of Gamma Radiation, but it far from an expert.

The Mutant
Codename: Primarch
Mutant Abilities: Primarch possesses a significantly enhanced body, featuring higher density in every part, from skin to eyes, bones and internal organs. He is capable of performing feats of strength and durability far beyond that of a regular person. Understandably regular nutrition would be required in massive amounts to allow him to function, as a result his mutation has created an organ that creates both electrons and positrons, which are then collided causing Electron-Position Annihilation, this creates Gamma Ray Photons, these Gamma Rays power Primarch. He is, of course, immune to the negative effects of Gamma Radiation, in fact he is capable of absorbing any nearby Gamma Radiation to temporarily boost his abilities beyond his (superhuman) standard. He can detect any Gamma Radiation within ten miles.
Super Strength: Under standard conditions, Alexander can lift just over one hundred tons.
Super Durability: Alexander's entire body is denser then the average human, allowing for feats of durability such as resisting temperature extremes, resisting rocket fire, armor piercing rounds, etc. and falls from orbital heights and other feats of durability that generally go hand in hand with an individual with his level of strength, including movement in hazardous environments (underwater, space, submerged in lava, etc). While he has no form of healing factor, his skin is for all intents and purposes, indestructible (internally he is not so durable). As his body makes a nutrition out of something as dangerous as Gamma Radiation, it is understandable that the vast majority of toxins no longer have any effect, and are rejected by his body, those that do, require massively increased dosages. His Gamma Ray powered body has slowed the aging process to a crawl.
Superhuman Speed and Reflexes: Alexander is capable of running and generally operating just beyond the speed of sound, when focused in a single direction, he can achieve greater speeds and when flying in an area where he does not have to worry about causing collateral damage, greater yet.
Superhuman Stamina: While Primarch does eat, sleep and perform all the usual actives of a person to restore energy and strength, they are a secondary requirement, as his primary source of energy are Gamma Rays, most consumed foods and liquids go to be converted into components that can be used to generate Gamma Rays. His advanced physiology produces far less fatigue toxins, and when running on his own supplies of Gamma, he can continue operating for up to a day. This internal source of Gamma Radiation allows him to function as if he were breathing, in places where he would otherwise be unable to do so, as even oxygen is a secondary requirement.
Agility: Primarch's agility, in terms of his balance, coordination and general ability to change his body's position is on par with the finest Olympic athlete's on the planet.
Flight: Primarch is capable of flight, and can achieve much higher speeds then when running or in an area where there is a risk of collateral damage due to forces generated by high speed movement.
Enhanced Senses: Primarch's senses effectivally grant him telescopic and night vision, hearing capable of hearing a person blink, or even hear their heart beat from twenty feet away.
Gamma Radiation Based Attacks: Primarch is able to cause a Gamma Explosion from his person, as Gamma Rays are described as being the most powerful explosions known (the most powerful form of electromagnetic radiation and 10,000 times more powerful than visible light) he avoids this at nearly all costs, due to the destructive nature (and the risks of Gamma Radiation to the environment). He can release Gamma Radiation from his body at will.
Weaknesses:
Telepathy: Primarch has no enhanced resistance to telepathic attacks and as such, they are considered the primary method of stopping Primarch, while he's fast, he does not operate at the speed of thought itself, so an unexpected telepathic assault can often leave him at a huge disadvantage.
Lack of Healing Factor: While it is not standard for a person to have a healing factor, it is standard for people in his general “power level” to have some form of enhanced healing, Primarch does not have any form of a healing factor beyond human standard, as such, if he is injured (which is possible, despite his increased durability) he must spend just as long as the regular person recuperating.
Gamma Radiation Hunger: If there is a large source of Gamma Radiation nearby, Alexander will find himself distracted by it and “hungry” for it, being able to detect Gamma Radiation within ten miles of his person, it does not even need to be close to his person. The longer he is within range to detect it, his need to absorb it increases to the point that he will pursue it like an addict to absorb it. This addict like need to absorb it will only fade away after he has consumed Gamma Radiation or he has been forcefully pulled from the area where he can detect it.
History:
Born Alex Linton-Davis in southern Ireland, he enjoyed a rather regular upbringing, enjoying regular interests such as comic books, kickboxing lessons on a Thursday night, Cello on a Tuesday night (his mother insisted) and having a generally stable and healthy family. His world was turned upside down when he was 13 and his mutant abilities first came active, the Irish youth became incredible sick, suffering from a variety of symptons from a high level of physical pain and discomfort, high temperature, constant vomiting, the works. A doctor revealed he appeared to be be suffering from some sort of radiation poisoning, but could not work out the particulars behind it. As tests continued, it became increasingly difficult, mainly as needles started to fail to penetrate his skin.
There was some large issues, but slowly Alexander started to get control over his new found abilities, he had no idea what he was but felt it would be much safer to hide them as much as possible. By the time he was 14 he could easily lift forty tons, but as far as the Doctors knew, lifting one ton was extremely difficult. By 15 his abilities started to stabilize and their increase slowed down significantly. It was shortly after this that he was confronted by a man who called himself Magneto, although he introduced himself to Alex's parents as Erik Lehnsherr. He explained to Alex's parents and Alex himself about mutations, revealing his own ability and explained that he had a safe haven for such people. The Irish youth's parents were not fond of the idea of their son being carted off to some....Genosha...place, especially as they had no idea of the mans real intentions.
The family ended up visiting the country, and eventually decided it would be best for Alex to be in a place where a person of his unique condition could be cared to properly, especially as the Doctor's tests appeared to be getting more time consuming and less with Alex's interests at heart. This is what brought Alex to Genosha, and his joining of the Brotherhood. There he learned to control and harness his abilities in a way he would have never learned back home, he used his abilities to aid in all manner of tasks. Magneto informed him of the dangers they may face by humans who did not understand or perhaps even feared mutants, and encouraged Alex, now known as Primarch, to find way's to maximise his abilities, this led him to taking up Muay Boran. Naturally he was also educated in Gamma Radiation, as he was able to supply Genoshan scientists with plenty of it, which aided in their research into its uses.
The years went by and Genosha became Primarch's real home, he had friends, a job (that is, a member of the Brotherhood), was mastering his abilities as a mutant. He was loved by the people of Genosha, enjoying celebrity status, even if his role was more political or even military based. As Magneto's trips from Genosha to America increased, and he spent longer periods abroad, Primarch found himself more interested and even concerned about the growing situation in America, the Xavier school and the Massachusetts Academy. Knowing that Genosha was safe, he spoke to Magneto about moving to America, to aid the mutants in the Academy, and perhaps even shepard them to Genosha. Magneto, reluctantly, agreed, knowing their was little he could do to stop Primarch if he really wanted to leave. He traveled to America, contacted the school, organized a meeting, revealed he knew the places true nature and offered his services as a teacher and guide. That was three months ago, and he believes he got out in just the right time, condemning Magneto's actions against the American Navy.
RP Sample:
(From another site)
Primarch saw the Warbound known as Korg coming at him, with a spin on his position he managed to soar straight past the Kronan, heading straight for the big bee, Hulk himself. Darting in with a fist lined up, the Irish hero in training let his fist slam into the Hulk, cracking him hard across the jaw, a foot lashed out and got the jade giant in the stomach, the hero reigned in lightning fast blow after blow until his opponent was pressed into the ground, sitting in a suitable crater.
Turning around to face his comrades and the Warbound, a confidant grin on his face. His shoulders seemed like he was about to shrug before he pulled up his arms and extended them out with a little flick of his wrists. A showman all the way. "They call me Primarch, you're in the big leagues now." He taunted before rubbing his nails against his shirt, easy stuff. Just as he thought, Hulk was all talk, no action.
