NAME: Bippen Glenn Moran
NICKNAME: Goes by Glenn
AGE: 17
GENDER: Male
ORIENTATION: Undiscovered Bisexual; Leans towards females.
POSITION: Student
FACE CLAIM: Aaron Johnson
POWER:
Heightened Reflexes and Perception
The mutation has caused the nerves and information receptors in the body to become much more sensitive, which allows signals to be sent between the brain and the body much faster than normal. This results in drastically enhanced reaction speeds, allowing them to catch flies in mid-air, dodge and maneuver around complex attacks, catch falling objects, block detriments and react instantaneously to what others take more time to react to.
This ability also extends to being able to track fast-moving objects before finally giving some amount of predictive capabilities to the user, allowing them to see the image of an attacker's next move from the slightest muscle tension in their body and counter-attack or dodge without any wasted movement. This method can also be used to almost mirror someone's physical movements. When the user utilizes this power, he or she tends to see the world slow down, almost as if they had power over time itself. However, this is just an illusion brought on by the receptors in the eyes.
Limitations
Glenn has not quite peaked his master of this ability, so his reaction time is only about seven times as fast as a normal human, where a fully trained mutant can find themselves processing at about twenty times as fast.
Cannot fully dodge things if they are too fast. Like catching bullets, for example, isn’t possible yet due to the speed of the bullets.
Tracking only pertains to physical movements. Anything spiritual or magical isn’t able to be tracked.
Though predictions of movements can be made, the user cannot supersede the movements of others. So what I'm saying, is that while Glenn can mirror someone, he cannot make their moves faster than they can.
This does not make a significant difference to running or sprinting speeds.
Side-Effects
Movements of the user tend to be choppy and somewhat jumpy.
Muscle sprains and tears are common to untrained users due to the fast movements.
The user tends to be a bit jumpy and also is found staring at people. This is mostly because the user tends to want to watch muscle movements of others.
The user often finds themselves extremely exhausted at the end of the day due because of the constant looking around and contractions of muscles.
The user often gets headaches linked to their eyes because of the shifts between normal vision and the slowed down version of their vision.

CHILDHOOD:
Glenn was born on March 5, to Bippen Morris Moran and Rayne Moran. About a year later, his parents past away tragically in a car accident. A friend of the family, Alexander Willakers, quickly adopted and took Glenn out of the area to live in his dojo. There in the mountains, he schooled Glenn when he became old enough to learn.
Alexandner also used this time to train Glenn in a slew of martial arts, mainly Muay Thai. He started this training at a very young age. Glenn played, trained, and learned here until Master Willakers thought that it time enough to enter a public school in a town below the mountains.
ADOLESCENCE:
When Glenn turned 8 years old, Alexander decided that it was time that he joined the public school at the bottom of the mountain. He blossomed as a person meeting new people, and making real friends. This was also, however, part of his martial arts training as he had to climb up and down the mountain for school every day.
Glenn also began to chase girls, determined to make them his girlfriends. He failed. A lot. He’d always read romance stories while he was on the mountain, but he’d never really seen a girl until he started public schooling. Although Alexander’s homeschooling was very good, Glenn still found himself having a hard time in school. But this mostly was spurred on by his interest in people and, more importantly, girls. He was turned down by ten different girls and dumped by two of his girlfriends here.
Halfway through Glenn’s 11th year, he began to notice himself changing. And even though Alexander’s “talk” about growing boys helped out some, it didn’t cover these extra things that were beginning to happen to him. He found himself more jumpy and distracted than normal. Not only that, but he noticed that sometimes, the entire world would seem to slow down. Like this one time, he was kissing his girlfriend, Katherine, at the time, and the kiss took forever. At least it seemed. She broke up with him because he made a big deal about it. Anyways, Glenn began to notice the smallest movements and asked Master Willakers about it. Old Man Willakers wasn’t exactly sure what was going on either, and began to research.
Two weeks or so later, a representative from the Academy of Acton Vale appeared at the door of Alexander’s house. Glenn was then to be transferred out of public school and into this academy. There, he made a ton of new friends, and continued his martial arts training. They taught him how to better control his powers here, along with other things. Glenn had four girlfriends while he attended this school and was dumped every time, and on top of that, he'd been turned down by another sixteen. Glenn grew close to the music teacher here, and began to learn to play the guitar and sing, which he found he had quite the talent for.
A few years after he’d transferred to Acton Vale, the school tragically burned down. Glenn spent a couple weeks with Alexander before transferring to a school in America, called Bellefonte Academy. This was a brand new school. And to Glenn, that always means... brand new girls!
ADULTHOOD: N/A
SAMPLE:
(This is a sample from an old Naruto role-play I was involved in.)
Yuri admired the scenery as he walked through the village. The sky was blue, and the sun shone with glee through the soft white clouds. Yuri passed groups of people talking casually to each other making his way to the training grounds. Yuri looked up at the sky wondering if anyone else was there. Yuri walked with a nice pace. Soon he was at the training grounds. Yuri quickly mapped out himself a nice area to begin his training. Finding nice tree, he took a few steps back. At about 10 yards from the tree, he lobbed a kunai. The kunai pierced the tree with a hollow thud. Yuri decided to test his speed. He threw a kunai straight up in the air and then threw as many as possible at the tree while he could and blocked the kunai that came down right over his head. Yuri looked to the tree to see how many he had thrown in the time provided. Yuri counted: Two. Four. Six. Eight. Ten. Twelve. Fourteen. Sixteen. Eighteen. Yuri had been able to throw eighteen kunai in the time given. It was an okay speed. But he had a feeling that he could top that by the end of the day. Yuri walked over to the tree and retrieved his kunai. Back in the spot Yuri was in earlier, he repeated the kunai process.
