Christopher Scott Kyle
FACE CLAIM: Thomas Brodie-Sangster
---------------------------------
AGE: 19
GENDER: Male
ORIENTATION: Heterosexual
POSITION: College Student
POWER: Enhanced Vision
Enhanced vision allows Christopher, when he wants, to rival the vision of an eagle. His eyes shift into more like the slits of a cat with the blink of an eye and he is able to see up to great distances with precise clarity. The clearer it is though the harder it is to maintain as well as just how long he has this enhanced vision. In the mean time, the areas directly around his field of vision grow blurry and with some exception, he can mostly just see straight ahead, as if a horse had the eye blinders on it would be the same as when Chris was using his powers.
LIMITATIONS:
With the amount of practice he has had while enrolled at Bellefonte, he can now see clearly up to a mile away before everything grows blurry any further than that. It's also hard for him to see longer distances when the sun is out due to his eyes being more delicate and the light affects him to a stronger degree than most. Whenever Chris uses his powers, when he tries to 'change' back to normal 20/20 he has to wait 1/30 of the time spent focused far away. ie. 60 minutes = 2 minutes where everything around is just a blur of colors.
SIDE-EFFECTS:
Side-effects from focusing on things at a long distance away are lack of vision and itchy eyes when he tries to unfocus his eyes back to a normal persons vision of 20/20. Chris is also very sensitive to the sun's light, or really anything that is bright. They either easily blind him or bother him greatly, giving him headaches if he tries to go without wearing a special pair of sunglasses when it's sunny or around bright lights. If he focuses for too long without being aware, his nose can start bleeding which often is a foreshadowing of ugly nausea.
HEIGHT: 5'11"
HAIR COLOR: Dirty blonde
EYE COLOR: Dark brown
MISC: Christopher is often found playing with pens and pencils, drumming them to a beat only heard by him or twirling them around in his fingers.
PERSONALITY: Friendly and trusting to his friends or his potential customers, Chris is always willing to lend an ear to talk with someone about anything or help someone should they need it. He always helps people because then, he feels that since he helped them, he could call on them to help himself if he ever needed it. He believes that it is possible for mutants and humans to live together in peace, but he also feels that matter is far beyond anything he could do about it. He is set out to be a focused business man and is driven in his endeavors. He is mostly law abiding, though that might not last extremely long; roughly the worst thing he has done so far is drink underage.
Other than that, he is very quiet. He doesn't actively talk much to people and usually has to be approached first, unless of course he sees something special about a person. Even though he tends to be more quiet around people is isn't familiar with. Though, once you've met him, he almost always says hello when he passes and always does his best to keep a smile on his face, no matter the situation. He loves to talk about anything and everything, the entire world is just so fascinating to him. He doesn't know everything but that doesn't stop him from being willing to talk about it. Some people find his happiness and openness with others neat, and he tends to make quite a few friends fairly easily, though it doesn't intrigue everyone and some people tend to avoid him unless they need him for some odd reason..
SECRET(S): Christopher really likes animal onesie pajamas and secretly has a bunch hidden in his closet which he wears at night sometimes.
FATHER: Frank Kyle
MOTHER: Amanda Kyle
SIBLINGS: Has a younger brother named Jeff Kyle
WORTHY MENTIONS: He has three dogs; A golden retriever named Buddy, a chocolate lab named Ruby, and then last but not least a black lab named Charles.
CHILDHOOD:Christopher was born into a polite and well loving style home. His parents both southern raised and big hearted. He was in the loving arms of both all the time and from day one was loved by them both. Being the first born though they where confused with somethings and made their mistakes like all families do.
When Chris turned 3, he younger brother Jeff was born. As they grew up, the two grew close and their father often took the two of them horse riding and so on, though one day while they where out and about the horse reared back, causing Christopher to fall back and break his collar bone and wrist. It was nothing bad but was his first lesson in pain and learning to always get back up and try again.
School was boring in his opinion, like it was to most students, and frequently the people aggravated him. He was not a fan of the rules and silly things people had to do there but he was never a bad student. He got along well enough with a few people, and made some good friends. It was a pretty good life up to this point and had he learned the basic things most children do and even accidentally got into a few little fights here and there. Then at the age of thirteen things changed. He was helping his dad on the farm and his powers manifested thus making him freak out, his body shook with fear as he felt as though his eyesight was being clawed away, he was blind, couldn't see a thing. The change back though truly hurt. It was more pain then anything he ever felt, almost like having his very flesh torn from his body. In a hospital slowly he regained his vision, doctors not really understanding what had happened
Six days after his manifestation members of a school by the names of Bellefonte Academy came to pay him a visit. They talked with the family about his powers and how they could help. Of course he and the family understood and Christopher was off.
ADOLESCENCE: From the age of thirteen he has been part of Bellefont's school, going to classes and learning to understand his power. He made few friends and most of his time was purely spent training. Even at a young age his curiosity and urge to understand this power made him push himself. In this time he spent as much time as possible, studying on why he was special or why any of them were special and how each person got their own unique (for the most part) power. While learning about all that he also slowly gained control over his powers. Never really wanting to fight and test his ability against others, he sat on rooftops or just by his window and spent his time focusing and reading texts over people's shoulders, or really reading whatever he could from as far as possible.
Not long after prom which he barely attended, his younger brother moved to the school as well. He had a more rough manifestation and was not taking it as well as Chris had once he arrived at the school. Though his power was different, it never struck Chris to ask about it. But for the remaining time in the school he kept his eyes out for him and always did whatever he could to keep him safe and make sure he was doing well.
When graduation came he made the decision to stay and attend the collage, where he would be able to learn even more about the history of mutants and how they were the way they were. His family all came for the graduation him and a few friends that night drank and had a good time as well. It was a fun night and a great memory.
ADULTHOOD:
Eighteen was a big year, he nearly got a huge tattoo from a lost bet and started a new life in collage. Life was going to be different and amazing, well so he thought. Some classes where harder and he really had not clue even what he desired to go do with his schooling, yet he found himself always wanting to learn more. He took random classes about mutants and their powers and pondered options of how to use his skills and such to give him a successful career path. On the side though he still trained, honing his skills, eventually considering the roll of some type of teacher due to his fascination of mutants and all of their powers.
Nineteen was his second year in the school and it was the same as the year before. Nothing huge had seemed to go on. He returned to classes and focused on pushing himself all the more now, surly wanting to become a teacher for the magnificent school. He made sure to work out each day and always pushed himself, even experimenting, theoretically of course, on genes and dreaming about the unlimited about of unique abilities people could have. And even now today he continues on this path through doodles and notes in his notebooks.
SAMPLE: (This is from an old slice of life type forum that I was on where my character and another was on a date)
Thomas chuckled and shook his head 'no' as he took another drink, "Why do I have to go up and sing on stage? This was your idea Juni." He said raising an eyebrow at her as she did her best pouty face. "Oh no, no way. I refuse." The dirty blonde haired boy spoke in a playful manner and he gave Juni a hug and an eye roll as she teased about this being the worst date in history, despite her smiling and laughing most of the night so far. They spent the next few moments taking and laughing at the other people at the bar as each individual went up to the stage to honor Karaoke night.
Thomas's eye grew wide as he heard the next few notes of the new song. It was their song. He fumbled to put his drink down as Juni stared at him confused for a moment as Tom rushed up onto the stage. Within moments she had realized what was happening too, right as Thomas started laughing before quickly regaining his composure and pointing at her, singing the start of the song...
Like an astronaut that's scared of heights...
