NAME: Lily Evan Chambers
NICKNAME: n/a
AGE: 22 Years
GENDER: Male
ORIENTATION: Bisexual
POSITION: Academy Stable Manager
FACE CLAIM: Colin O'Donoghue
POWER:
Lily is human, and as such has no power.
Lily is lanky and tall, easily reaching at least 6'1". He has broad and well-muscled shoulders from constant work around the stables. The rest of his body is covered in wiry, toned muscles from his laboriousness work. From a car crash when he was young, Lily's left side is covered with scarred tissue. These scars trace all the way up to his neck, and all the way down to his left foot. Because he feels shame over his scars, Lilyoften wears low-riding jeans and long sleeved shirts, even when it's hot. His left hand is usually bandaged in white, or covered in some form of fingerless glove. Lily also had a black choker collar around his neck which he never takes off. On Lily's right shoulder is a small white tattoo of birds and a feather, since he has always believed that birds symbolize liberation and freedom. In his case, it is freedom from his own deeds that he desires. Tattoo can be seen here in a black version: LINK
His hair is cut and purposefully kept short, but other than that his appearance is usually uncared for and rugged. He'll usually be seen sporting at least a days worth of stubble, if not more. His eyes are a deep blue, and without light they seem almost black.
Lily has no real concept of bad situations, always seeming to find the positives in whatever problem he may be in. He has a positivity that allows him to power through most situations with a relatively straight-forward attitude. Make no mistake, he can get serious when the time comes, but his light personality has brought himself and his friends through many tough times when he refuses to give up or let depression overwhelm him. He can be a bit of a joker, making some people question his maturity, which Lily takes no real notice of. He is confident in his own abilities and realizes that his positive attitude can really help out. Of course this positive attitude can sometimes annoy his friends or the other troops, as he can never really grasp the bad side of a situation, but his jolly, unquenchable spirit is something immensely valued in the end.
He has a somewhat warped sense of humor, cracking jokes that only he seems to understand most of the time. He takes pleasure in the darkest things, contradicting to his bright personality and causing endless amounts of confusion for his colleagues. This would be a good time to mention that although extremely patient,Lily becomes bored very easily. Even with his boredom, he never undertakes any reckless actions or does something that would endanger his clan. Sometimes he can do foolhardy things, but only when he is sure it is only himself that will have to suffer the consequences
Lily is very, very protective of those he cares about. Willing to put his life on the line for any one of them, he cares more for his friends than he does himself. He becomes very defensive when it comes to the ones he loves with his usual patient outlook snapping if they are in danger. He completely loses his demeanor if a close friend or loved one is in danger, freaking out and rushing into the situation without a thought for himself or a thought out plan. When he has a goal to achieve, he is single minded and completely set on achieving in, no matter what the cost. He throws himself fully into whatever he is doing, always making sure it is done to the best of his ability.
Lily has a bit of a hero complex, which can sometimes serve as a major fault. He enjoys playing the hero and saving others, even when he cannot always save himself. He enjoys putting himself in dangerous situations and acting recklessly, just for the thrill of finding out whether he can get out of them. He finds them a test of his skill and heart. He's not so much of a flirt, though he does take to calling females a combination of lass, girly, flicka, dove and so on.

- He blames himself for his little brother's death

Family:
Mother Evelyn Watkins {Deceased}
Father Unknown {Deceased}
Brother Ethan Watkins {Deceased}
Lily was borne of Evelyn and an unknown father, only because his mother never decided to reveal his name before her untimely demise. She was killed by a stalker, thoughLily didn't witness it himself, heard the hushed whispers at the funeral, which was nothing but a pompous show. There hadn't been anyone close to Evelyn in life nor death, so there was no one available to take care of Lily. Left on their own, Lily and his younger brother Ethan stuck together after that, with Lily taking the lead for his brother's safety.
Living alone was difficult for the young boys, who were all alone now. They were constantly on the run from child security officers trying to separate them into orphanages, having many close calls. On one particular escapade, the boys were in a hi-jacked car and swerved off the rode, going right through a gas service station, some sort of accident occurred, Lily was foggy on the details, and the whole car went up in an inferno. He was lucky enough to escape, with half his body burned and scarred. But he was not fast enough to save Ethan, who was nine at the time, from dying.
After that, Lilyspent years alone, until he turned sixteen. Without any education past what Evelyn had taught him, and what he had then continued himself, it was hard to find work. He did whatever he could in terms of jobs, but had nothing stead to depend on. In the end, homeless and unemployed, he was forced to turn to the orphanage he had spent years running from, and it felt like a betrayal to Ethan's memory.
He was too old for anyone to want to adopt, and so he stayed as a leading figure in the orphanage. His education continued, though in terms of years he was far behind. Every now and then he would be given odd jobs to complete for people around town, but by far his favorite was his employment as a stable hand at the local riding centre. He was given lessons there in his free time as payment, and learned to love the sport. Something about the beautiful creatures made him feel free, even when he was just in their presence. It was a job he held for a year.
In his eighteenth year he rescued a young girl who was being hunted by a group of thugs. Or at least, that was what he thought at the time. He later discovered that she, in fact, a mutant, a super-human with abilities he could hardly comprehend. He learned the men had been trying to capture her, because of what she was. For the unflappable Lily, the discovery of mutants living amongst humans was taken surprisingly well, enough so that he was also told about an academy. Bellefonte Academy, which provided both learning and safety for young mutants. Well, it would be a lie to say he wasn't curious. Since he was now of legal age, he made it his mission to find and explore this academy, with his new found curiosity of mutants.
One thing led to another really....He found Bellefonte academy, and when the existence of their stables came into play, he was clawing at the gates trying to get in. After all, the place was fancy pancy, and to an orphan that meant a hell of a lot. Just looking at the gates made him drool over what the stables and horses could be.
Of course hiring a human to work in a school full of mutants trying to keep a big-ass secret was unprecedented, and if Rowan hadn't already known their secret, he would undoubtedly have been turned away on the spot. As it was, the girl he had once saved recognized him, and with a bit of pleading, vouched for him. So it was that he was hired in the stables under probation.
He's worked at Bellefonte for three years now, his discretion and hard-working nature making him the perfect human addition to a school of mutants. During his second year of employment he used some of his earned money to purchase Bandit, a paint stallion that he boards at the school, for a fee.
