[QUOTE="Calinon, post: 1263593, member: 13737"] Here's an example of the sort of thing to post regarding character concepts. I tried to pick something it was highly unlikely anyone else would do. This is the sort of thing that will end up in the rogues gallery.

To help him cope, his aunt and uncle let him move in with them on their farm for a few months, while he learned to control and adapt to his new found mutation. The farm episode worked wonders for him. He regained his confidence and moved back home, and went back to school. While he got a bit of teasing, most kids just wanted to see what he could do.
