Species: Mutant

Occupation: Student
Canon or Original: Original
Mutations:
Physical Demonic Physiology
Peak Conditioning: Karrl’s physical conditioning are peak human. His speed, strength, stamina, senses, agility, reflexes, accuracy, longevity, durability and healing time are at peak human capabilities. However, none of them are actually at superhuman levels. In this next bit each physical trait will be covered.
Wing Generation: This is not a secondary mutation, but another power within his Physical Demon Physiology. This is the power to generate wings from his back. These wings, thanks to his height of six foot two give him a twelve foot wingspan, since, each wing is two inches shorted than he is. They are technically bat wings, however, due to their size, and a slightly different shape, they actually look like dragon wings. The flesh around the bone his black, with the flesh off the wings are red, and the bones are, like the off bone flesh, are red as well. This power grants him a secondary power.
Pyrokinetic Generation and Manipulation: This is in fact a secondary mutation of Karrl’s. Karrl his ability to generate and manipulate fire. When it comes to his generative capability he has several applications of this power. When it comes to the levels of generations he has, he can generate up to two hundred degrees. However, this may increase through an application of this power. However, he can manipulate one thousand two hundred degrees of fire and heat. There are several applications of this powers, and these are as followed.
Notes: When it comes to the progression of this power, his power will not let him, normally, become weaker, but, he can, through physical training get stronger, faster and so on. However, it will not reach superhuman levels unless his powers progress this way. The reason why he called human Brimstone, is because of the visage he had for the moments he powers awoke, a red and black skinned demon. However, his demonic visage has yet to show itself again outside of the wings he can manifest. Also, where it seems that he has a lot of powers, these are all linked to his peak human conditioning, and not even all the links, since he does not have the mental aspects of peak human conditions, and is just above average at best when it comes to his smarts.
Classification: Beta
Equipment: Karrl does not have much in the way of equipment, since, he does not need them because of his powers. However, he does have a mode of transportation, since; sometimes he just likes to ride and give his muscles, or wings a rest. This mode of transportation is in fact a Black Yamaha Midnight Star.
Uniform: Karrl’s uniform is simple, especially around the upper body. It is made of a highly fire resistant material, because of his wings. He wears a pair of pants that cling to his body but does not prevent his movement in his legs. It is dark blue in colour, with red trimming, same with the boots. His upper body is covered in a front zip up top, with the same material and colouring as the boots and pants. However, this top has no sleeves, more of an aesthetic choice than anything. Along with that he wears a pair of gloves, same material and colouring as the rest of the outfit, and reach the upper part of his forearms. On the belt there is a red and black sign of the X-Men.
Skills: Motor Mechanics: This is yet another skill he learnt due to his father. His father, outside of being a Muay Thai instructor is also a motor mechanic, and, in fact does it as a profession. Karrl grew up around engines. Where he may not be an expert yet, he is still competent around the subject.
Driving: He is skilled at driving, knowing how to ride both military and non military vehicles. He has been trained how to drive civilian vehicles, such as cars, bikes and the such, along with that he has also received training in driving military vehicles as well, from tanks to planes.
Singing: A skill he learnt due to his mother, who is a singer songwriter. He was found to have a nice voice at a young age, and, due to his mother wanting a hand in his passions, she taught him how to sing. He is a good singer, within his area of style, which is Grunge and Post Grunge.
Guitar: The second skill he gained due to his mother. He is a competent guitarist, and, can play several styles. However, due to his love of Grunge music, he has to most experience within this style. Where he is not an expert in the field, what he does, he does well.
European Football: Like all, well most, English lads, he grew up with a love of football, both watching it and playing it. Where he is nowhere at the level of being able to play for one of the big teams, such as his beloved Chelsea, he, some might say, has enough skill as a right midfielder, to play for one of the smaller Second League teams such as Bury or Northampton, maybe even Plymouth Argyle.
Languages Spoken: German: He is in fact able to speak German. This is to do with the fact his father is German, and so, grew up learning it. It is one of the three languages, outside of English he because fluent in due to his family background.
Spanish: The second of the languages he learnt growing up, due to his family background. He learnt German due to his father, but, this is one of the two languages he became fluent in due to his mother.
Italian: Finally, when it comes to the languages learnt due to his parents, he is able to speak Italian. He learnt this language, like when it comes to Spanish, due to his mother, since she is half Spanish half Italian.
Streetwise: Due to the rough town he grew up in, he learnt how to become streetwise at a young age. He actually feels more comfortable around this environment than some high class areas, and so, will more than likely be able to befriend some street punk than a upper class debutant.
Martial Arts: Karr is trained in several areas of combat when it comes to martial arts. He knows three different styles of martial arts. When it comes to straight up striking he has studied Muay Thai, which he has eleven years of training and nine years of official Muay Thai Matches, putting him well past the Advanced Level of the Style. When it comes to throwing and pinning techniques he has studied the Russian Martial of Sambo, he has studied this for seven years and has studied all three kinds of Sambo, Sport, Combat and Free Style, this also aids in his striking style with his Muay Thai. And is a 3rd Level Master, gaining 1st place in 3 sanctioned competitions with twelve Sambo Combatants. The final martial art he uses Aikido for his locks. He is nowhere near as skilled in this martial art as the other two, only being studying it for two years, but he had just reached the level of Shodan, the base level of black belt. Also through Aikido, even though he rarely uses them, he has been trained how to use a jo, or short staff, a bokken, a wooden sword and a tanto, a knife. Through his training in these three style he has almost completed the development his own style, which he has yet to name.
Weaknesses: Peak Human Conditioning: Where if he faced a normal human he could demolish them before they could even blink, none of his powers within this range are superhuman. The only thing that is close to the level is his strength. However, if he was to face someone with superhuman levels of an aspect of this he would not be able to match them, he could easily be out muscled by someone with superhuman strength, even someone with superhuman durability could withstand one of his strikes, and he has no hope in hell, on foot, out keeping up with a person with superhuman speed.
Wing Generation, Flight & Pyrokinetic Generate and Manipulation: All weaknesses of these power are covered within the power's actual descriptions.

Motivation, and Why: Karrl’s motivations are simple. He wishes to become an X-Man. This is not for the glory or the fame, but, despite what people think of him, he’s the type of guy that genuinely wants to help out in the world. It is also due to the fact that he found out where his powers come from, he is afraid he will become evil, so, he tries his best not to follow a demonic route.
Loyalty: X-Men
Physical Appearance: Karrl stands at 6ft 2” tall and weighs in at roughly 210 pounds. Karrl’s hair is something that stands out about him, it is silvery blond. The strange thing about it is that it is in fact his natural hair colour or well he assumes. Karrl was born was light blond hair, and, unlike the common occurrence of his hair darkening, his hair lightened. It is classified as blond, but in fact is beyond platinum and is in fact silver. Along with his hair, he his eye colour, where not strange, are an enchanting azure blue.
Even though only 18 years old Karrl has in fact always looked a little older than he actually is. He may be 18 but he looks like he is 21. This is to do with his natural hair colour, mature features and physical build. When it comes to his physical build, due to the fact he has trained as a martial artist from a young age, plus his love of weight lifting he is a buff guy. His build is something some bodybuilders have spent all of the life trying to achieve, because it is muscular but not overly so. His muscles are pronounced, but not to the point that they are grotesquely so.
History: Karrl was born and raised in Southall, a small, and rather rough part of London, well, Greater London, since it is on the boarders of Slough and Middlesex. Before his life had even begun it was for certain he was going to have it rough. This was not to do with his class, since, most people in his hometown were working class, but, it was his heritage. His mother is half Italian and half Spanish, and his father is half English half German. It was rough because of the large amount of racism in his town, but, not from the English, but the main nationalities that lived in Southall, Indians and Somailians. However, he was born to two loving parents, so all was good.
His mother was an aspiring Singer Songwriter, and his father was an extremely skilled Mechanic. Their lives were comfortable enough, they did not have amazing amounts of money, but, they could provide what was needed, and, even had some left over for a family holiday once a year. For a working class family they lived comfortable lives, not exactly the lap of luxury, but hardly from a two bean dinner every night. Yes, Karrl’s life was decent enough, well, at home it was at least. Outside, well, that was a different matter entirely. The racism he suffered both on the streets and in, when he was old enough, school, was enough to drive a man to tears, and it had done just that once or twice.
About a year after he was born his little sister Gabriella was and then his sister Helena, and finally the twins Ibbie and Jovanna. By time the twins were born he was four years old, and had fallen in love with the idea of being a big brother to all of his little sisters. He loved them all dearly, and, even though still only a child himself, did whatever he could to look after them, whether it was helping his mother change them, or doing something funny or wacky to keep them entertained. However, it would not be til a lot later when he would find his true calling as an older brother.
When he was in Primary School, it was, to start off with, name calling, and, names that were a little more mean than stinky and booger head. He was called things like Mongrel, Half Breed, and other things like that. When he spoke to his father about it, his father went to the his teacher. She said she had heard no such names, where the fact it, she was one of the people who dealt him these racial slurs. So, it continued, until one day, when he was a little older, he went home, with a large amount of cuts and bruises, he had been beaten up badly. His father told him, he should not let them do this, and told Karrl, if he wanted, he would help him. Karrl’s dad, on the side of his mechanics was a Muay Thai Instructor. So, from that day on he took up Muay Thai.
Surprisingly enough Karrl was a quick study, taking to the Martial Art easily. Over the first few months he learned all that he could. However, one day, he returned home from school, with a cut lip and a big smile on his face. The next thing that happened the phone rang, on the other side was the headmaster of his Primary School, telling Vincent, Karrl’s father, that he had beaten up his teacher. Vincent was angry, but, Karrl explained what had happened. It turned out that, his teacher had been assaulting him, but, it was more than that, not only was it a racial attack from the teacher, but, the thing that had set Karrl off was, the fact he found out this Gabriella, who had just joined the same Primary School, had started to suffer at the teacher’s hands. When Karrl saw the teacher smacking his little sister he snapped and the beating started, but that time, it was on the teacher.
So, with this bit of information he turned to the newspapers with the story, not, because he wanted to make some money, but because he did not just want her to be arrested, but publically humiliated. After a court hearing, it turned out a lot of the other, none Indian children had suffered the same abuse. So, she was stripped off her teacher licence, and sent to jail. However, it was not over there, the school, for letting such things happened, was fined a great deal of money, and, like with Karrl, a lot of the children were taken out of the school, and sent to another one. Karrl was still picked on in the school he had gone to next, but, it was not that bad, but, Karrl had grown to love Muay Thai, and, after promising his father he was not pick fights because of it, he would continue to teach him.
When he got into Secondary School, he made a lot of friends fast, but, there was one, above all, that stuck by him, a young girl by the name of Rebecca Greaves. She was the first friend he had made in the school he went to, and they always hung out, little did either of them know what their relationship was going to be in the future. However, Rebecca was not his only friend, but his best.
However, even though making a lot of friends, he was not well received by all of the school. There were a lot of the older students who didn’t like him, namely Jamie Carrion. This was because he was drawing the attention away from them, he was becoming the new popular kids, and this stung even more because most of the attention he was getting was from the female students. So they tried to make a fool out of him by beating him up, but they soon found out that was easier said than done. Over time most of the students gave up, but Jamie did not. Also, it would be Jamie that would play a key role in the awaking of Karrl’s powers.
Over the years, and by the time he was sixteen, all of his little sisters were well into the years in secondary school, however, it seemed that they were not pleased with him, well, the two older ones weren’t anyway. It turned out that they wanted to date, but, due to the fact that Karrl was their older brother the boys they were interested in backed away. It turned out, for some reason, the male students saw Karrl as the badass older brother than they did not want to mess with. Karrl simply told them, that, if the boys they were interested in were too stupid to see how great his little sisters were, and did not have the balls to overcome their fears of him, they were not worth the time. The reasons why it all happened was because of the reputation he gained over the years, these events were.
When he was a little older, his thirst for knowledge when it came to the martial arts grew more so, and he spoke to his father about taking up a second one, and asked him if there was any martial arts that would compliment his Muay Thai. He father thought about it and mentioned that he thought the best one for Karrl to go for was Sambo. He also mentioned that the fight school Vincent taught at part time had classes in it. So, for the first time, he took his son to the fight school and introduced him to the teacher. Like with his Muay Thai he was a fast learning and picked up the locks and holds easily enough.
At the age of fourteen his teacher, the one that was not his father, suggested Karrl entered the British under 18 Freestyle Martial Arts Championship. Karrl was interested in this, and, after gaining the approval of his father, and the hesitant approval of his mother, he entered. Over the two years he in fact entered two British Championships and won both of them. He was offered, after that a spot within a MMA fighting circuit, when he got a little older that is, but, as much as he loved martial arts, he knew what he wanted to be, a mechanic, like his father.
For as long as he could remember Karrl have loved cars, bikes, and all things long those line, bikes most of all. He could often be found, in his spare time, in his father’s garage, helping out, and learning about those kinds of things. When he was asked about what he wanted to be when he grew up, as most people did when they were young, most of the student said Astronaut, Fairy Princess, and things along those lines, but Karrl, he had said he wanted to be a mechanic. At the age of sixteen, he actually got a part time job working for his father as a junior mechanic. However, there was one thing he loved outside of motors and martial arts, and this was thanks to his mother, and that was music.
When he was younger, his mother introduced him to the guitar, since, she wanted some influence when it came to his passions in life. He was not a quick study like he was with the other areas, but, he still loved it. So, over the years he learned how to play the guitar, and, as it turned out, he had quite a nice voice, not traditionally so, but, it was perfect for something along the lines of Grunge. So, his mother taught him how to play Grunge music, and introduced him to bands like Nirvana, L7 and Babes In Toyland, all of which he loved greatly. Through this he developed his own style, and soon, was listening to music and learning the songs by himself. However, his musical tastes and talent were not the only things to develop.
His friend Rebecca, she had blossomed into a beautiful young woman, and, had the eye of a lot of the other students, both in their class, and the year above them, however, no matter who asked her out, she turned them down, there were rumours spreading around that she was in fact a Lesbian. However, one day, Karrl asked her out, since, he had also been developing feelings for her. When he asked her out, her response was, what took him so long. After that, they started dating, and, it soon blossomed into something more than just two teenagers going out, they were in fact in love, which was strengthened by their long time friendship.
Within school life he had several things going for him, outside of his love life. First of all, he was very popular, this was mainly to do with two things, outside of his good looks and charm. The first of them was, he was in a band, an alternative rock band, where he played rhythm guitar and lead vocals, and were often spotted playing at local open mic nights or clubs. The second of these things was, he was in fact on the school football team [soccer for those Americans out there] and played right forward, and, even though not the highest scoring member of the team, made up for it with the amount of assists he had under his belt, Karrl knew he would never be a professional, but he loved the sport, as any true Brit does.
When Karrl hit sixteen, he graduated from Secondary School, which, a surprising amount of GCSEs, nine to be exact, all A and B grades, he got A grades in Spanish and German, due to the fact he was taught these two languages growing up due to his parent, as well as French, as a GCSE not as a language he grew up learning. He also gained four B grades in the cores subject, Maths, English, Modular Science and IT. As well as two final A grades in Business Studies, Music, and one more B grade in Sports Science. He had the pick of the Six Forms he could go to, however, he waited, and soon, when Rebecca had picked her, he joined her there, studying his A Levels in Foreign Languages, Motor Mechanics, Music, Accounting and Business Studies. He picked up a new language along the way, to expand his range, as a blend of wanting to impress, and wanted to learn more, and that was Japanese. However, this was not to be, since, the events before he was to enter Six Form, would change his life forever.
He has just returned from his last day at school, and he saw his family there, but, it was not just all of them, it was Rebecca’s parents as well. This worried Karrl, since, he had never really had a good relationship with them, so, something must be up to warrant a visit from them. When they told him to sit down, this worried him even more, but, he told them he would rather stand. He did not want to sit down, because he was feeling a major distrust moment, that he was really concerned about what was about to happen. However, what they said he could not prepared himself for, and, in retrospect, he should have sat down. After the little verbal battle between them, Rebecca’s parents did not argue with him anymore, and told him what happened. It was Rebecca, on her way to school, she had been mugged, but, it was more than that, she had resisted, and, because of that she had been stabbed. She had been murdered.
The shock from this made him fall to his knees and he started to shake. However, it was not just because of the fact he was in shock, but something was happening to his body, something that everyone, bar his parents he were shocked about when it happened. He let out a massive scream of despair and pain his body seemed to shake even more, because, it was at that time his powers awoke. His body shifted, so his skin was like red and black molten rock, his nails had turned to claws, his eyes were pure red, and from his back sprung to long, fiery wings. However, this was not for the fast actions of his father, things could have been a lot worse than just this. His father showed his true colours, as a powerful psychic, and knocked Karrl out with a mind blast, and then, turned on Rebecca’s parents, and used mind control to persuade them that they had told Karrl and he went to his room to think things over, and they should leave.
When this had happened, when Karrl was knocked out his body went back to its normal form, but, this was far from over. Karrl’s father turned to his mother and told her to take the girls into the other room. However, before Karrl had woken up his father did one more thing. As he waited for his son to awaken he contacted someone, not by phone, but by telepathy. It was Charles Xavier. He told Charles that Karrl, his son, had become a mutant. He then requested that he someone would come and pick his son up, because he knew that the Xavier School would be the best place for him. After the chat was over, Karrl had awoken, and was met by the gaze of his father. However, before Karrl could speak his father told him to sit down, and this time he did. He had no idea what had happened, but the chat he was about to have would clear that up, and give him information that shocked him.
The chat confirmed that what had happened before he was knocked out was real, and he was in fact a mutant. It was not only that, but his father, as well as his mother were mutants also, and it was because of the fact that his parents were mutants was how they met. They had both gone to a school called the Xavier School for the Gifted. He was told that his father was a Psychic, and a pretty powerful one at that, and his mother was a Pyrokinetic. He was then told that his father had just contacted the school and requested them to take him in. At first he did not know what to make of it, actually at first he was angry because it seemed that his father was sending him away, but, after things were explained more, he realised his father was doing what was best for him. So, after the chat was done, he accepted it, even though he was still in shock about Rebecca.
Not long after, the next morning in fact, the Xavier Institute came to pick him up. He asked his father what they would say, he said he would tell them, that Karrl had been accepted into a prestigious school in the US, which, in all fairness was true. So, with that he moved over to the US. He was about to start his training. However, first of all he needed to find out what his powers were. It took them several months, but, after training and tests, they found out what his powers were. He has a rare power, called Demon Physiology; basically, he could gain the powers and visage of a demon. However, they told him that this was not something to worry about, and he could still use his power to work, and, so, with that, his life at the Xavier Institute would truly begin.
Over the two years he was there, he had met lots of people and made plenty of friends, even had a few love interests along the way, even though he had, even after those two years, never truly gotten over the love that he lost. However, there was one thing, when it came to the development of his powers that really stood out, except for the massive wings of fire he could manifest, and that was his abilities with martial arts. At first they almost thought he had muscle memory at first. However, they discovered it was his powers, his peak human conditioning.
About a year into his stay at the Xavier Institute, he gained a secondary mutation, which surprised the teachers, he became a Pyrokinetic. During his time and training he found his main offensive abilities were mainly to generate blasts and streams of fire through pretty much any part of his body. Along with that, his high resistances, his ability to empower someone with these resistance, and, the ability to see the heat and inferred spectrums.
Also Over the two years he studied a new martial arts to develop a perfect balance within his hand to hand combat, even giving him some skill when it comes to fighting with several different types of weapons, the Jo, the Bokken, and the Tanto. This martial art is in fact Aikido, and, he has studied it for two years, since, he started to learn it as soon as he got to the Xavier Institute, so, through these two years of training he has managed to reach Shodan, which is, in lamen’s terms, the first level of Black Belt, so, he may not be as skilled in it as Muay Thai or Sambo, he is still very skilled in the martial art.
Also, over the years familiar faces seemed to pop up one after another, well, except for the last two, who popped up together. All four of his sisters had also come to the Institute as well. It was funny, since, a lot of people got worried when five Garms were walking around the place. The first one to come was the oldest of his little sister, Gabby, next it was Hel, then the twins Ibbie and Jove. Seeing all five Garms in one place, it was enough to turn heads, since, for quite a while the sisters use to just hang out with Karrl. However, over time they managed to find their own circle of friends and the Garms did not hang out as much as they use to. However, every now and again the five of them could be spotted just chilling somewhere having a good time with the various activities they liked to do, and then watching the inevitable sparring match between Karrl and Hel.
However, over the two years, his love for motor mechanics took a back seat, because of the fact that he had found people he could connect with, and held a great deal of respect for. The X-Men had helped in ways that he didn’t even think he needed help in, he helped his develop and control his powers, helped him when it came to his education, and even aided him in maturing as a person. It was because of this, that, he knew that he wished to be an X-Man. He knew he still had a ways to go, but, he believed, if he works hard enough, he will be able to join them as a full member of the team. He had just hit 18, and, he was close to graduating from the school, however, will his dreams of becoming an X-Man come true, only time will tell.
RP Sample:
Karrl was on the football field training with his team. He looked up and smiled brightly as he crossed it in for the centre-forward to header it in. A massive cheer from the skins before and after the coach blew the whistle. He looked around for a second or two seeing a group on the bleachers watching them before he went to join the rest of the team. As he listened to the coach pointing out areas they need to improve in he smiled.
As expected, Karrl should be a bit more greedy with the ball, and up his scoring rate, since, even though the skins scored seven goals, only one of them was his, the rest were just set up by him. Nodding to the coach he took the ball under his arm before he watched the rest go off to the shower, “I’m gonna hang back, practice a bit more, see you guys later!” With that he dropped the ball and just practiced a bit the smile gone from his face.
“Come on Karrl, you know you can do better than that, get your head in the game.” With that he chipped the ball into the air before kicking it straight into the goal on the other side of the pitch, since; he was just behind the centre line. He took a deep breath before going to fetch the ball. However, he stopped when he saw one of the people who had been watching, a young red head, in the year above him, come to the edge of the pitch.
Looking at her for a second or two he saw she was looking at him, and, remembering her name was Joanna, he walked up to her. It did not take him long to reach her, a bit sweaty from all the practice he was doing, since he had been on the pitch a hour before the others as well as the fifteen minutes after them. He smiled at her and said, “Hey Joe, you ok, you look like you got something to ask me?” He was not being presumptuous; he was just pretty good at reading people.
It turned out she did have something to ask him, there was a party going on at one of the other football player’s houses that night, and she wanted to know if he would be going. He smiled as he said, “I might, got band practice after this, and, if I can swing it with my father, than sure, I’ll be there, tell you what, give me your number, and, I’ll text you when I find out either way.” So, once numbers were exchanged, he bided her farewell before he went back to practicing his shots.
