Name: Vinny Patterson
Age: 18
Country of Origin: USA
Hometown: Seattle
Powers:
Vinny possesses the ability to pass through solid matter and objects by passing his atoms through the spaces between the atoms of the object through which he is moving. In this way, he and the object through which he is passing can temporarily merge without interacting, with each unharmed. When Vinny phases, he is, for all intents and purposes, intangible. It requires concentration, and he's only been able to bring another person through once--usually, it's limited to just his clothes, if that.
Personality:
Vinny is outgoing and gregarious, attempt to diffuse situations without escalating. He's not opposed to a prank or two every now and again, but he normally spends his free time tinkering with a van that he swears, one day, will run.
Description:
Vinny's a rather average-looking guy with shaggy brown hair. He often wears a hat which, despite what SOME people might think, Amy, is actually quite stylish.
Background:
Vinny grew up in Seattle, and was always rather...let's say, precocious. He enjoyed being the center of attention, and quickly learned that 'performing' was a quick way to make friends, though it never pleased his teachers.
Vinny wasn't open about being a mutant, however--he wasn't ashamed, but that was some attention he could do without. Still, it wasn't without it's benefits--there's lots of potential for ignoring walls. He also made a show of enjoying it for his friend Amy's benefit, who had a hard time accepting her own mutant powers.
It was when Amy's power exploded that he was forced to come clean as well. When she was unceremoniously shipped off to Xaviers, he chose to follow. After all, what are friends for?
