Gregory Delgado
Home: City of Angels, California
Age: 20
Weight: 175
Height: 6'3"
Mutant Factor Abilities:
Duplication
Gregory has a unique talent of being able to duplicate the abilities
possessed by others around him. In normal human’s he can mirror the
talent of a great artist or a well spoken politician. By being around
other mutants, Gregory’s body can actually duplicate the effect of those
x-genes.
Of course, this does have its limitations and troubles, difficulties which
cause Gregory to wish he wasn’t a mutant. He can only absorb one
ability at a time and it often causes a personality change in the young man.
The more powerful the ability absorbed, the less he remains himself.
Institute Biographical Profile:
The streets were never a friendly place for a kid, thankfully Gregory grew
up in a large mansion over looking the beach. His parents were kind
when they were around, but most of his young years were spent away at school
in England. The earliest memories he could fondly recall were sneaking
away from the all boy school and terrorizing the locals with whatever prank
came to mind. Although his school marks were never anything to
write home about, he was a good kid with a bright head on his shoulders.
As he matured, Greg branched out in his interests and in a wild urge
auditioned for one of the school plays. In his first try he landed the
lead, the infamous Romeo. Practicing diligently for weeks with
the rest of the cast, Greg seemed a natural actor. His talents for
portraying the right emotion at the right time was astounding. It was
easy for him to capture the attention of anyone watching the production.
However, opening night was a disaster. Like many mutants, it
seemed a normal occurrence for their mutations to manifest during periods of
high stress. Opening night was intense for Greg, he knew that if he
could impress the school he might have a chance somewhere else. Maybe
even in a real film.
Dressed to the hilt in a fine velvet coat, Gregory looked deeply into the
fair Juliet’s eyes and brushed a blonde lock away from the actresses face.
They were well into the play and the audience was completely oblivious to
anything but what was set before them on the stage. Reaching in for
the
romantic last kiss, Gregory paused dramatically. What happened
afterward, he can’t remember and no one would tell him.
Awaking at the institute a few weeks ago was unnerving to say the least. His
school teachers thought it the best place for him and admitted him without
permission from his parents, they were unavailable like usual. Gregory is
still trying to learn to control his new gifts and others are attempting to
try to find the extent of them. Being rather hesitant at first to accept the
fact that he's a little different, Greg's still fighting to find himself
again. Underneath his jokes and sarcasm he feels a blackness building in his
chest already, ready to swallow him when he's not looking.
Institute Biological Profile:
Gregory is in good health and is physically fit, but by no means exceptional
in his strength. The dexterity he possesses, along with a natural
skill for acrobatics is fairly remarkable, but not outside natural human
qualities. Gregory however is completely color-blind. He only
sees in shades of
gray, but hides it as best as he can. Preferring no one knows it if at
all possible.
Institute Psychological Profile:
Gregory is a friendly chap who enjoys the finer things in life and prefers
not to get dirty. He hides much of his pain with witty jokes and
annoying pranks, but it seems like he’s hiding less and less these days.
He likes attention, but never has trouble accepting direction or not playing
at leader, preferring to keep away anything that resembles responsibly.
However, Gregory is prone to fits of severe depression and is known for his
sometimes brooding demeanor. He feels himself the tortured artist and
no matter how hard he tries he’ll never accomplish anything of note.
