Body Type: Karrl is slightly bigger built than athletic but he is not overly buff, his build is generally what someone would call athletic, but the muscles that line his body are slightly more pronounced than that.
Typical Style: Karrl’s style is alternative, his upper body is usually coated in a red t-shirt, with black suit like jacket. His lower half is covered in a pair of black jeans and boots. To finish it off he wears a pair of fingerless leather gloves, a pendant around his neck with an ankh on it, and a pair of black, simple, sunglasses.

Uniform: His uniform is, like his normal clothing, slightly alternative. The bulk of his suit is a reinforced bodysuit, black in colour, with black boots, and black fingerless leather gloves.

Personality: Karrl is a rare thing, a disciplined youth. He is not an overzealous military nut, like some would be with his upbringing, but, he had been taught the values of discipline from a young age. He still likes to have a good time and hang out with his friend, go to parties and so on and so forth, but he knows where to toe to line. He is also a perfectionist, and will not rest until he not only gets it right, but gets it right every time to the best of his abilities. However, this mentality does lead him to get frustrated easily, if he does not get it right and can often be seen berating himself if he does get something wrong.
He is not what someone would call unfriendly, he is generally a nice guy, to those who actually are nice people, but, to those he sees as, well, not so nice. He will not give them the time of day, and will even go out of his way to try and make sure they stop their less than nice behaviour. He has been caught a couple of times threatening those kinds of people, but, after explaining to his uncle why he did it, nothing further came of it, since, physical violence never actually happened, and his uncle respected him for standing up for those could not defend themselves.
Family: Vincent Garm (Gargoyle) (Father) (Died Age24), Isabella Garm (Mist) (Mother) (Died Aged 24), Sergeant Markus Garm (Detect) (Older Brother) (20), Colonel Wayne Garm (Uncle), Mellissa Garm (Aunty), Second Lieutenant Christopher Garm (Cousin) Amanda Andrews (Step Cousin)
History: The first two years of Karrl’s life were spent in Southall, a small part of Slough, a borough of the Greater London area. Even though he had both his parents, most of the time, it was just him, his older brother Markus, and a babysitter. He did not know why until much later, but, let’s get started on his history.
At the age of two something tragic happened. He does not remember it well, if not at all, but, according to his brother a police man had come and told their baby sitter that their parents had died tragically in an explosion. At first they did not know what to do with them, but, it turned out, Karrl and Markus had an uncle, aunty and a pair of cousins over in the US.
It did not take very long since his Uncle, his father’s brother, accepted them without hesitation. There was also the fact he was a soldier, at that point in time a Second Lieutenant, in the US Armed Forces, and so there was little trouble getting them shipped over. They found out that they were going to spend their young lives in the San Fernando Valley of LA.
There upbringing was a lot easier than it could have been. Sure they were kept on a reasonably tight leash when it came to certain things, such as curfew, drinking and parties, but, day to day life, and how they perused it was completely up to them, when they got to a certain age. Both Markus and Karrl came to look upon their uncle and aunty as second parents, and, after a little persuading, were trained in combat like the solider their uncle was.
Over the years he spent growing up he found a love for comic books, and found he had a knack for drawing, so, in light of this, his uncle paid for him to have drawing lessons. He asked his uncle why, and he had simply said, the world, in the shape that it is, needs entertainment, and, if he could get good enough he would gladly pay to have Karrl be able to provide some of that entertainment.
Along with drawing he found a love for music, and first started with guitar, but soon developed a love for most instruments, and, along the same reasons as drawing, he had lessons paid for them. Over the eight years, since he had started learning instruments, he has gotten skilled in a number of them, and, even though his uncle was not too keen on the style Karrl played, he respected the fact he stuck at it.
When he was not at school, during his summer breaks, along with his cousins and brother, they were on survival training courses, once they got old enough. So, over the years, including the training he received from his uncle in hand to hand, he was trained in all manner of ways which would befit that of a Green Beret, nowhere near as skilled, but, the basis, if he ever chose to, was there.
His school life was where he was really kept on a tight leash about, since, it was one of the conditions for his lessons. He was expected to get good grades, his uncle did not expect straight As, but, he had to keep a B average, which, over the years at school, he did, and, not only in music, he got A grades in PE, Computer Sciences, Art and Geography.
Once he was old enough he in fact joined the school soccer team, that British blood, wringing true. For the previous two years was a starting Right Wing Striker for his High School team, and, at the age of fifteen was even made captain of the soccer team. However, there was a dark secret he was keeping from the rest of the school, which he had found out the same time he joined High School.
At the age of fourteen he found out a couple of things, first of all, his brother, mother, and father, were all mutants. His brother’s powers had awoken two years before hand, and, he had found out, once he had returned, since, his father had shipped him off to some special school, which, he found out that was a school for mutants.
The second thing he had learnt was, that his mother and father had also gone to that same school before moving to his mother’s homeland of England, since they were expecting Markus. They had moved over to England because, they hoped for a peaceful life away from hate, but, they soon found out that would not be the case.
However, the third thing he learnt was the true origins of his parents’ deaths. They had be trained how to be heroes, and, once Markus had gotten a few years older, they had been fighting as a Superhero duo over the four years, stopping briefly when Karrl was expected. When Karrl was two, they had died in an explosion yes, but, they had died fighting against a mutant villain whom they never found out who he was, it was that mutant that caused the explosion claiming his parents’ lives.
So, over the two years he had spent knowing this secret, he trained harder than even before, hoping, one day, to find out who that person was and exact revenge for his parent. He may not remember well, if not at all, but, they were still his parents, and he wanted their deaths avenged. However, at the age of sixteen, his life changed once again.
His brother had returned once again, since, once he had graduated from the school he had, like his uncle and his cousin Christopher, joined the US army. He had had band practice with the new band he was with, but cancelled since his brother had returned. However, as soon as Markus saw his brother, he knew he was a mutant, since, Markus’ power was mutant detection.
It turned out that all the training and hard work he had put into it had sparked something off a short while before, which kicked his mutant powers into life. His brother could not say what his powers were, since he could only detect mutant and their power levels, but, his brother said, whatever they were, he was strong, an Beta level mutant.
So, it went without saying, that, once they had found out that Karrl was a mutant, after a short while they were contacted by the Xaiver Institute, he was going to be shipped off to the same school that his mother, father and brother went to. When everything was settled he was sent to the school, and arrived the night before.
However, there was one more thing, like his brother before him, he would be going, and, due to the mutant registration act, would register as a mutant, Karrl was not too keen on the idea, but, he accepted it, and so, was on his way to Xavier’s
Classification: Beta
Powers: Peak Human: All of Karrl’s physical and mental attributes are peak human, Peak Human Strength Karrl’s strength is a peak ability for his age, and, can lift 340lbs, 400lbs at a push. Peak Human Speed Even though his acceleration is only slightly higher normal he can reach speeds of about 35 miles per hour if he runs for about 30 seconds.
With his peak human stamina he can go all out for at peak capacity for about an hour before fatigue begins to impair him. He also has Peak Human Agility balanced, and extremely coordination he is also superior to those of any Olympic level athlete.
Then there are his Peak Human Reflexes. His reaction time of an is gain superior to that of that, like all his physical aspects, to an Olympic level athlete. Peak Human Durability, he is nowhere near bullet proof and can still suffer from physical injury and trauma, but his ability to take damage is vast superior to that of a normal human.
His five senses are peak human, not superhuman in anyway, but has perfect hearing, sight and smell, touch and taste. His mental attributes are peak human, his intuition, cunning, book smarts and general intelligence. His physical and mental attributes may increase normally, but, they will never reach superhuman levels.
Immune to Diseases: Karrl is immune to all known earthly Diseases, from the common cold to cancer and aids. However, anything along these lines that are not off this earth he is still susceptible to, so, if an alien virus was to infect him he was suffer from it like any normal human being.
Longevity: His lifespan vastly exceeds that of a normal human’s; where he is not immortal he will be able to live a lot longer than a normal human being. For every 10 years a normal human ages he will only age 1, so, if the average lifespan is 60 years he will live to 600 and only look 60, however, this may be shorter or longer depending on how his life goes.
Skills: Karrl, for as long as he could remember wanted to be a comic book artist, that or a musician, his skills are drawing, painting, writing, song writing, guitar, bass, violin and keyboard playing, as well as singing. Also, due to his upbringing has training, thanks to his uncle, in hand to hand combat both unarmed, and with weapons such as Tonfa as well as the same training as a US solider would get in boot camp.
Weaponry: Tonfa
Role Play Sample: Karrl was on the soccer 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 soccer 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 uncle, 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.
