Bryce Fairwood
Home: Hollywood, CA
Age: 20 years old
Weight: 165lbs
Height: 6’2”s
Mutant Factor Abilities: Bryce has two main powers. The first is his ability
to Teleport to locations he can see or has been to before. His
teleportation does have some limits, if it is used repeatedly he can become
exhausted by the effort. He can only take one other person with himself when
he teleports, and usually ends up exhausted when he does teleport with
another person sooner then he would usually. When he teleports there is a
white flash both from where he disappears and the location he reappears
from.
Bryce also can create and manipulate a force field around his body that
provides natural armor as well as weapons or tools. This force field
can stop bullets and large attacks, defending him from harm in most cases.
He can also manipulate the form the field takes to form shapes and blades.
Bryce so far has been able to extend these shapes no more then approximately
10 inches from his body, and has been unable to make them longer. His
favorite fighting technique is to create claw or blade weapons to fight
with, and has been able to punch through steel with his blades. The
force field itself is not invisible; it appears as an opaque pearl white
color.
Institute Biographical
Profile:
Bryce was the only child in his family, born
and raised in luxury in the wine country of California, the son of Alan
Fairwood and his beautiful wife Nina. Alan was the owner of a fine
vineyard, large estate, and involved in the business’s and movie production
in Hollywood. Alan was also a mutant and a powerful White Bishop of
the California Hellfire Club. Alan was a capable telekinetic, capable
of creating telekinetic white bands that he could use to lift manipulate
objects through, and could even telepathically read or alter minds of
individuals he had in his grasp. Thus Alan could manipulate people and
even hold his own in a fight, but the use of his powers were rather obvious
and best left for private rooms. He served the Hellfire club loyally,
and his wife was almost literally his puppet through use of his powers.
The day Bryce was born Alan was very pleased, an heir for his name and
expenses, and he knew he’d be a mutant who could go far in the Hellfire Club
one day. At an early age Bryce was taken to the best schools and instruction
money could buy, living the life of luxury. Bryce didn’t see a great
deal of his father for a good portion of his childhood, spending time in
various schools and athletic programs. He was trained in academics,
gymnastics, martial arts as well as engineering, though Bryce as he grew
older had a passion for acting, this was to remain a hobby. As Bryce
grew up in private schools and trained by various tutors, he knew he was a
mutant but didn’t know if he’d inherited his fathers powers or not. He
was raised and encouraged to think of himself as superior and powerful, and
to a degree this mindset did set in. But as Bryce grew older he
realized he wasn’t attracted to girls like others were, and in his mind he
attributed this confusing reflection as something to do with his being a
mutant. It wasn’t till later he knew what it really meant to be gay,
and that it had nothing to do with his status as a mutant.
Eventually Bryce started to manifest his mutant powers for the first time,
and his teleportation power first manifested it caused some problems at his
private school. Upon hearing this his father sent for him to return
home to Hollywood, to be close to him again. Instead of being afraid
after his mutant powers manifesting, he was overjoyed, and was hoping his
father would be proud of him, and they could be a family again. The reunion
of father and son was brief however, cause his father soon after they
reunited sent him away for his powers to be studied and perfected, and more
training with the Hellfire academy.
Bryce made the best of things, and learned to perfect his powers with the
Hellfire instructors. He learned more fighting techniques, and was
being honed into a weapon for his father’s organization. For all of
their efforts to help Bryce be a better warrior, he didn’t feel the love for
his new role the organization seemed to. He was loyal to the club and
his father, but didn’t want to be a fighter for them. He did have some
of the arrogance and feelings of superiority common in the Hellfire Club,
but didn’t have it in his hearts to hate humans. He was starting to
find ways to rebel or make himself disgraced, but most of his attempts
failed to stop his father and rest of the Hellfire Club from putting him
through such rigorous training. Bryce even admitted he was gay to his
father, and this failed to upset him, he accepted his sons sexuality, though
did admit he expected an heir so he could have a grandson eventually, one
way or another.
Bryce gave up resisting in the long run, though now he was completely out of
the closet and was allowed some free time to date and experience some other
things. He was still being trained to fight and use his powers in
different ways, but now could had some time to himself as well. He
accepted his life as best as he could, but still hadn’t lost his interest in
being an actor, so spent a lot of his free time at various theatres, even
dating an actor at one point. He was doing the best to keep his identity as
a mutant a secret while doing so.
However, some secrets were hard to keep, and when Anti-mutant arose even
worse then before, not even the Hellfire Club of California could hold it
off. Bryce managed to escape when the government began arresting the
mutants in residence at the club, to ship them to internment camps. He
wanted to save his father or perhaps some of those he trusted, but couldn’t
risk the threat of being captured himself. He was on his own and had
to grow up very quickly, no longer able to depend on the wealth he’d grown
accustomed to. Bryce eventually learned of the Xavier Institute, and
headed to New York, doing his best to hide from the Mutant hunters, hoping
to find help there.
Institute Biological
Profile:
Bryce’s powers have not altered him in any way
physically, though years of gymnastics and martial arts training, and
regular exercise has made him very agile and strong. He has even
practiced yoga and is extremely limber.
Institute Psychological
Profile:
At times Bryce can be somewhat arrogant, due
primarily to the manner in which he was raised through most of his life.
He is used to being pampered, cared for and the best money could aford, not
to mention the belief he was superior not just for being rich, but for being
a mutant. The instruction of the Hellfire may not have completely
twisted his view of things, but it has effected his opinions. Bryce
though has a passion and love of life, both his own and others that he feels
strongly towards, and would rather protect lives then cause harm to them,
unless he has to. In recent days living the life of a fugitive from
the government and being a run-away has been an eye opening experience for
the young mutant, and he is struggling to survive in this New World without
his wealth and comfort. Thus he has fallen back on the extensive training as
a warrior the Hellfire Club was giving him in order to survive and defend
himself.
