Admin Note: Due to this character being used only very briefly, staff will allow the character to be "retconned" from site history, and the following app is open to full modification.
Name: Julio Richter
Age: 17
Place of Birth: Mexico City
Applying too: Xavier's
In what capacity: student
Family: unknown
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 155 lbs
Appearance:
Because of his small size and general insecurities, Julio generally wears slightly baggy clothes that tend to be a little warmer than necessary. Usually he leaves his hair long, but after moving to New York cut it short; now he's debating between letting it grown and leaving it short, so he has kept rather shaggy for the time being.
Skills: Julio is fairly decent at street-fighting, but he especially learned how to take a hit with minimal damage to himself. He's a fairly accomplished as a pickpocket. Julio has a very good memory and is capable of keeping track of long lists of names, dates, and numbers.
Personality: Julio tends to isolate himself from other people, though he prefers to be in crowds and generally around people. Often, he doesn't talk unless someone prompts him to. Generally, Julio feels insecure about himself and feels that people don't want him around. Much of his insecurity comes from feeling like a freak, not only for being a mutant but also for being gay. To help ease his insecurity, Julio has taken up drinking (when he can actually afford it).
Likes:
Dislikes:
Codename: Rictor
Mutant Abilities: Julio can generate seismic energy through his fingertips that he can use to create earthquakes, shockwaves, and transport earth matter. (Powers explained with help from the Wikipedia article on Rictor.)
Weaknesses: Julio's power gives him an almost empathic bond with the Earth, which can be both positive or negative. On the one hand, the bond protects him from feeling alone; on the other, if something is hurting the Earth (including his own powers) it hurts him to. Other activities such as flying in airplanes or being on upper stories of buildings can prove to be sickening to Julio the longer he's out of touch with the Earth. Additionally, Julio dislikes the dark and sudden, loud noises which can negatively effect his ability to preform certain missions (although he does claim that they are not paralyzing fears).
History: Julio was left at a Mexican orphanage at a very young age, long before he could form any memories of his parents. The only thing he knows about his parentage is that his father was an arms dealer who was arrested and later killed in prison. Julio never felt in particular need to find out any more about his parents. He was generally happy at the orphanage with the other kids and the caretakers around. There was no time for him to be alone, which later developed into a general dislike to be alone.
When he entered his early teens, though, Julio's happy life was completely shattered. Julio soon discovered that, unlike other boys his age, he had little to no interest in girls whatsoever, and caught himself thinking of the other boys like they thought of girls. It was shortly thereafter that Julio realized the string of earthquakes that seemed to center near the orphanage, and had hurt several people in Mexico City, that summer seemed to respond to his emotions. He tested the theory that he could, in fact, control earthquakes in an empty warehouse, which brought the building down on top of him.
After he was released from the hospital, Julio left the orphanage completely, afraid of hurting someone else. Instead, he focused his energies on controlling his powers in other empty spaces. In order to survive, Julio became a pickpocket and a petty thief, which brought him to the attention of people in what had been his father's world--arms dealing, drug trafficking, larceny, etc. Julio resisted joining the world of hardened criminals, which lead to increasing problems with the criminal underworld of Mexico. During that time, Julio developed much of his fear and dislike of sudden noises, dark, and complete silence. He was much safer in daylight and crowds.
Just as his problems seem to become too much for him to handle, Julio was found by Xavier and accepted into his school. Julio has since been living at the school, relatively safe and happy, but still dealing with the repercussions of his former life.
