He has a nearly unequaled aptitude for technology and machines, as well as cognitive processes that allow him to decipher any language after a few short minutes of conversation.During the week of his breakout, Emmet constructed his own personal laboratory within his basement and created the two devices he wears today: a lightweight metal bracelet that, in a past life, may have been some kind of watch band now stuffed with advanced magnetic technology, and a large pen or small flashlight containing similarly advanced microwave technology. At the press of a metal button on the top, the shield band creates a force field strong enough to repel small arms fire and radiation, especially the kind created by his microwave emitter. The emitter is capable of a devstating, albeit short-ranged blast of microwave energy, and its more elegant application that allows it to act as a universal remote control and datalink (as well as a damn good lockpick). Sadly, testing his theories and constructing his personal devices cost Emmet the entirety of his college fund that he was saving for MIT. [/sblock]Background[sblock]Although born in Massachusetts, Emmet grew up in southern California with his mother, a gifted computer programmer and mathematician with the career of a lifetime at a wildly successful Internet startup based in Mountain View. Her success caused jealousy from her husband, a PhD and an assistant manager at a local chain bookstore, exacerbated martial problems and caused first a separation, then a divorce. Growing up, Emmet rarely saw his father after his parents separated, not that he particularly missed his Dad. With his mother busy at work, Emmet developed a strong sense of independence at an early age.Although extremely gifted academically, Emmet coasted through most of his schooling, instead sating his thirst for knowledge through independent study; he was a common figure at the library, and was often taking apart machines to discover how they worked. After a round of standardized tests, Emmet skipped the third grade and entered immediately into the fourth. It was the worst year of his life: he hated being the youngest in the room, and hated being separated from his friends. High school wasn't as bad as he feared; no one shoved him into his locker, and he fit in naturally with the other geeks, playing with computers and arguing about science fiction. He attained notoriety throughout his school for his test scores and occasional discussion with his teachers; when an upperclassmen needed help with a particularly challenging math problem, Emmet's help was sought. Emmet can't trace his Elite breakout to any specific event, instead remembering a week of dull headaches and glimpses of insight, diagrams and blueprints dancing in his head. He dreamed of a microwave emitter that could act as a universal remote control, buying parts from high-tech manufacturers, scavenging the rest from discarded machines. After a week of seclusion, frenzied building, and extravagant spending, he completed his first prototype of his microwave emitter and the requisite shielding. After this accomplishment, he was able to look inward, and Emmet realized that he knew things he never learned, perform complex calculations without the aid of a computer, measure Pi to its ten-thousandth digit without even trying. After learning fluent Spanish from half of an LATV sitcom, he deduced the obvious: he was an Elite. Sharing the news with his friends was difficult, but not as difficult as admitting to his mother that he spent the money he saved for college on a pair of inventions. Whoops. Emmet had heard of the new school for Elites, and after careful consideration, applied for membership. He figured his acceptance was a foregone conclusion, given his test scores and aptitude for technology. Emmet knew he would have difficulty furthering his education in most traditional institution, but he had high hopes for the Institute in Mudaba Adid. Not only did he hope to learn more about his powers, but also for the opportunity to use the U.N.'s high-tech laboratories and devices. [/sblock]Appearance[sblock]Emmet appears to be a stereotypical geek or nerd. His final growth spurt brought him to the height of 6'1, but he remains lightly built without much muscle mass or fat. He has pale skin that causes many to comment that he needs to get some sun and unruly brown hair that seems resistant to any kind of grooming. His round glasses correct serious vision impairments, and a mild case of acne mars his face. He has a tendency to stare off in the distance, even while speaking. Emmet also dresses like the stereotypical nerd, without much concern for the fashion of the moment. He generally dresses in subdued collared shorts and khaki pants, occasionally wearing a pair of blue jeans.[/sblock]</blockquote>
