POWER:
Sound Manipulation
The ability to manipulate and shape sound within the mediums of air, ground, and water that radiates outward in straight lines in the form of pressure waves. Manipulating the vibrations or waves is what determines what the ear perceives and hears. This allows him to mimic, intensify, strengthen, hush, distort, echo, speed up or slow it down. Intensifying, strengthening, or speeding up the waves through the mediums of air, ground, and water can cause a physical force of vibrations which can harm the ears and/or cause physical movement to objects in surrounding areas. While distorting waves may cause symptoms of Vertigo (confusion, disorientation and/or nausea). The sound waves are also invisible (as you cannot see sound unless it is strong enough to vibrate or move an object).

Limitations

• Cannot create sound, can only manipulate already existing sources
• Sound can only be manipulated through the mediums of air, ground and water
• Can only manipulate sound within the length of a football field
• Not immune to others with sound/mimicry powers
• Manipulating sound to get to 130dB is a strain while higher than 130dB is difficult
• Manipulating sound to go lower than 0 dB is impossible for Niko
• Closer the sound, the stronger his effect on it may be
• Further the sound, the weaker his effect on it will be

Side-Effects

• Powers can and will backlash, causing any physical damage or vertigo symptoms.
• Loss of hearing
• Loss of voice
• Confusion
• Strain
• Dizziness and Nausea
• Ear & nose bleeds
• Unconsciousness

Uh- Can we get this show on the road? I have a lesson plan to get to. Oh... so you're ready? Okay, cool. Hey, what's up. I'm Nikolaos but I'd rather you call me Niko and I'm also Greek so that may clear up any questions about my name. As for the physical details, I am six feet even, weighing at- Don't worry about my weight. You could say that I'm muscular and that's more than enough weight to back me up. When I'm not teaching, giving lessons, or doing local gigs, I like to spend some of my daily hours in the gym just to keep me on my feet, you know. I also have brown eyes with even darker brown hair. Most of the time I like to keep my hair a few inches short and styled... or not styled, it really depends on my mood. I'm also not too picky about my wardrobe, as long as it's comfortable, affordable and fits, then I'm all for it being on my body.

I find it kinda weird when someone asks what my personality is like. Being able to explain someone's personality by words is a bit cliche but I'll do it in a way that some of you knuckle heads may understand. I don't mind being around people, I really don't- In fact I would go out of my way to say that I enjoy it. I enjoy being around others who aren't ignorant and go by their way without thinking about others. Ignorance annoys me to no end but one thing that may annoy others about me is that I can be short tempered or even hot headed sometimes. I'll admit, I tend to be somewhat silent until I feel the need to speak and that isn't because I'm shy, absolutely not. It's because I don't think I should be the loud mouth in the room, nor the one who always has to speak about themselves. I like to keep myself, yes and I also don't like to give all of myself away unless I feel the need to. Once you give too much of yourself away, that's when people expect it all the time or even take advantage of it. All in all I'm comfortable around others.

Wouldn't get on my bad side if I were you. Remember? Me? The short tempered one? As long as you treat me with respect, I'll respect you. I won't say much of anything to those who try to get a reaction out of me. I believe in the saying "Actions speak louder than words" and trust me, I'm all about action.

Not really the type to get all into my personal love life but just know that I have to actually be interested in you for me to even attempt at flirting or dating, or even having sex for that matter. Unlike most of the little boys I teach, I'm not an easy catch if you're easy. I'm all about giving respect to the females who so deserve it and respect themselves. I haven't had the best experience with relationships seeing how I used to be the shy, timid boy who couldn't catch a date even if his life depended on it. I used to get taken advantage of, a lot. I grew out of all of that and now know my self worth, so you could say that I'm confident but I find a woman more confident than me very attractive- Remember, I said confident... not cocky.

As for my hobbies and what makes my world go round-- I am a musician. Nothing big but I have done gigs here and there and continue to book gigs locally. I love music, I grew up like everyone else, on music. The only difference between me and everyone else is that I can actually sing, very well. I also play the guitar, piano, and drums... I'll explain how and why later.

Is it later yet? It is? Okay, cool. I don't mean to rush but like I said earlier, I have stuff i need to get down. 

Now about my past. I was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. Nothing fancy or big like the other major cities like New York but it's home. As far back as I can remember, my mother has been the only parent in my life. I was raised along with my two other brothers by her principals, rules, and love alone. Not having a father figure hadn't really made me any less of a man when growing up. I had my two older brothers and with the help of our mother, we helped each other grow. Our dad left after I was born, something about continuous fights about money and bills and how he didn't ask to have three kids. From what my bros used to tell me, he hadn't really been in their lives anyway so it wouldn't had made a difference when I was born. Even though we were middle class, it felt like we were hardly middle class. Our mom took on two jobs for as long as I could remember and it was painful, having to experience her struggle just to make ends meet and keep us happy and good to go with whatever we had our eyes set on. 

The older we got the more me and my bros ended up with different crowds at school. I had become the band geek, the singer, the music lover at an early age and around the age of fourteen I had also become the freak. It's so wild how vivid your memory can be when dealing with traumatic events. Sometimes I feel as if, those memories aren't mine... they can't be. I was in a marching band and I was apart of the drum line and from what I can remember, it was disgustingly hot and we had the most douche of a coach, Mr. Leonard. I was sure I visualized sockin' that douche in the face at least four times a day. He was on my case about something as stupid as my posture during practice to the point where he was yelling at me in front of everyone (including my crush) and I was embarrassed and completely pissed off. I'm pretty sure by the time I could smell the tuna sandwich he had ate earlier that day, I just snapped. I completely snapped but when I snapped... nothing extreme happened. Instead, his lips were moving but I couldn't hear not one sound come out of it. I'm pretty sure everyone noticed that he went mute also, and even he noticed it. I remember him rushing out and the assistant canceling the rest of practice and even then, I had no idea of what was going on, I just know that I went home with this annoying ringing sound in my ears but it later went away. I also know that I was pretty damn happy the rest of that day too.

So after that, I didn't really thing much of it, you know? I kept going to school, kept crushing, kept making it to practice until I got a visit at school about five days later from my mom and this random woman. I can remember my mother's face that whole time. She looked so worried, so unhappy but just not in a disappointed unhappy- It was weird. We went to the local McDonalds so they could sit down with me and talk and that's when I was told that I was a mutant. Even with her explaining it and trying her best to make me feel comfortable about leaving my mom and my bros... it just didn't work with me. If anything I just panicked more and the next thing I remember, sounds around us were getting louder and voices were getting quieter and apparently it was all my doing. I was upset because I didn't want to leave home. I was scared and angry because I had no idea what a mutant really was and then I found out that I could manipulate sounds and was told the whole scientific reasoning behind it. A lot of that went right over my head, obviously. And honestly, the only reason why I agreed to go was because my mom kept trying to assure me that it was for the best and that I would be okay.

After that, we went home and I had to meet my brothers face to face after the fact that they knew about this before me and they were supportive, if not more supportive than they ever been. I wouldn't say that I hated having to leave to Montana to this Academy because it was something that I was able to get used to very fast... the atmosphere, not being a mutant. It took me at least two years to get used to the fact that I was different and that was only because I made friends, and had as much fun as I could without ending up in jail or detention or anything like that. So yeah, I'd say that I enjoyed it despite the stresses of teenage dating (and wanting to move on). My few years there were quick and right after graduation, I moved to Florida, went to college and started up a band that only lasted for about two years. We had a few gigs here and there and it was great while it lasted but when I got a call asking if I was interested in being a music teacher at the Academy, I figured why not, it was more money. I had a two year degree in music, nothing fancy but it was more than enough certification to teach other mutants like me about the power of music. Even though the attack by SPECTRE kind of shook me the wrong way, I decided that was more a reason to stay as staff. 

You could say that I feel like I'm obligated now
