Oliver James King

[Oliver King]

Oliver James King
FACE CLAIM: Dylan O'Brien
---------------------------------

AGE: 17
GENDER: Male
ORIENTATION: Unsure
POSITION: Bellefonte Student

POWER: Invisibility
By using the visible spectrum to his advantage, Oliver can turn himself invisible to the naked eye. When his power manifested, his skin started producing Chromatophore cells, that work very much the same way the skin of a chameleon would. To use this ability, a signal is sent from the brain through the nervous system and to the nerves on his skin, which quickly reacts by turning his skin and himself invisible. This gives Oliver the ability to move about an environment unseen by others and act without being observed.

LIMITATIONS:

• Oliver can only stay invisible for tops two hours at a time, and then his power will instantly shut itself off - meaning that he'll instantly turn back to normal. The closer he reaches the two hour mark, the more "glitchy" the invisibility will become, and the more focus it requires for him to stay that way, meaning that he might experience going in and out of invisibility, or if he loses his focus, he might revert back.
• He can still be detected by other senses such as smell, hearing and touch. He cannot phase through objects, meaning that things such as liquids, solid objects, fire, etc will show his shape while he's being invisible.
• Oliver cannot turn anything but himself (and ONE other person; at the same time) invisible, meaning that his clothes or objects he's holding will not turn invisible with him.
• In overly lit up or bright rooms, there's a possibility the light will reflect on his skin. It doesn't mean his invisibility turns less ineffective, but some people have told him they've seen slight vibrations in the air where he's standing because of it.

SIDE-EFFECTS:

• Headaches, migraines, nausea, nosebleed and such are all common things that Oliver has to deal with on a regular basis. Because of the amount of focus and strain the ability can have, it causes him to feel restless, anxious and tired. He also has to wear glasses often, because of the strain it puts on his brain - which makes focusing on things such as reading or watching television hard.
• Exhaustion and fainting are other common side-effects from this power. He needs to drink a lot of water to make sure he stays hydrated. Working out furthers these side-effects, but also helps against the restlessness.
• The nosebleeds comes from having more blood vessels to supply his Chromatophore cells/skin, along with the the copious amounts of nerve ending that stimulate them, and that most of these vessels are under developed or thinner than normal and so burst when put under stress. Because of the multiple nerve endings, Oliver's skin is more sensitive to things such as pain, touch, heat and cold. It also leaves his skin sore and itchy.

Oliver James King, Journal Entry ##

Do you know what it feels like to know that you're smarter than your fellow peers? Do you know what it feels like, walking around, knowing that you're better than all of them, simply because you have an higher IQ? Do you know what it feels like growing up knowing you're a child prodigy, a genius? Do you know what kind of pressure that puts a kid under? Do you know what kind of expectations that follows with something like that? Everyone expects you to get straight A's. To become something big. To change the world. To cure cancer. They expect so much, from someone so young. And do you know what I tell them?

Fuck you, and fuck your expectations.

My name is Oliver James King, or O.J for short. I'm a seventeen year old high school student. I attend Bellefonte Academy, a school for mutants. Oh yeah, you heard right. MUTANTS. Freaks. Superpowered. You know those X-MEN comics you sat drooling over as a child? It's real. Yeah. Blew my mind too - well, not really. I mean, it's not like it's impossible. Evolution has changed the world and humans for generations. It has made us better, stronger and more adept for survival. That's what we are. Mutants I mean. We're what will survive. We're the next generation. We're the future.

Myself, I manifested when I was eleven. I was standing in the kitchen, and my mother was telling me to do the dishes. Now, don't take me wrong. It's a normal chore. All normal kids do them. But then again, I'm not normal, am I? Mutant gene aside; I'm a genius. My IQ is the kind most would dream of having. So of course, as you can imagine, I don't take very well to being told what to do. And before I knew it, my mother was screaming her lungs out -- apparently, my power had kicked in right then and turned everything but my clothes invisible.

Not exactly the kind of thing you expect, huh? Yeah, imagine how I was feeling.

Within a week, the recruiters showed up and hauled my ass off to some stupid school in the middle of nowhere Montana. And I suppose, that's where my story began - again. Now, don't take me wrong. I love being a mutant. It's empowering - but then again, I hardly need superpowers to know that I'm better than the rest of this bunch. I'm a freaking genius. I can do whatever I want with my life. But that's the thing though, isn't it? I mean, why waste such a potential on saving a world that's already doomed?

Oh no, I'd rather get my hands on something good. Something better. I guess you could say I use my brain for my own gain. Like, I help people - for a profit. Need to get your hands on information? Fake ID's? Need someone to do your test for you? Cheating? Whatever you need, I'm your guy. Of course, it'll cost you, and I don't help just anyone. And for fuck's sake; I don't do charity work. I don't give a shit about you or your reasons. I only care about the cold, hard cash.

Now, you might wonder how you'll recognize me? You don't. I don't run a public business. Few know about what I do, and the ones that do... Well. Nevermind that. But, if you happen to be looking for me, just look for the 5'11" kid with dark brown hair, light brown eyes that weighs roughly 152 pounds. Not that simple, is it? That's the point. If you need me, you better make damn sure you're ready to put up the effort to find me.

I don't do the whole high school bullshit drama either. I stick to my own people and things, and I expect you to do the same. We're not friends - we'll never be friends. The sooner we get that cleared out, the better it'll be. Hobbies? You mean aside from being an arrogant asshole that happens to be both better and smarter than you? I box, swim, run track and play chess. It's important to keep both your body and mind healthy. Even more so after I got my powers.

Just remember your place in this world, and I'll remember mine. That's all there is to it. The circle of life. The social pyramid. It's all bullshit - and none of it really matters. One day you'll understand. But then again... You'll all be dead by then, because one of these days, mutants are going to get fed up with this hiding bullshit, and when we do, we're taking over the world. And guess who's going to sit on the throne?

Yeah; me.
