Occupation:
Student
Canon or Original:
Original
Mutations:
Phyto-kinesis: Axel has the power to stimulate and control the growth of plants with only a thought. This ranges from making seeds sprout, making plants wither to even reshaping trees. In addition if Axel has access to plant material that has not been treated he can manipulate its shape; such as turning a log into a baseball bat or shield.
Phyto-genesis: If given enough time and energy Axel can produce plant material without the need of seeds; such as managing to grow a set of vines around his arm to use with his phyto-kinesis.
Photo-synthesis: In addition to getting energy from food Axel needs to take energy from the sun, water and air. This allows him more stores of energy on sunnier days.
Enhanced hearing and smell: Axel's senses are on par with that of an animal's. Which allows him to detect when someone is approaching him, can enable tracking a person, can smell for the scent of plants around him in the case that they may be hidden.
Classification:
Beta
Equipment:
Cell phone, camouflage paint. Seed pouch belt (with seeds): this belt consists of small pouches that rest along Axel's waist; and each can hold a number of plant seeds, of which he will acquire from the plants the school has growing or that he may find while walking elsewhere. Each compartment is waterproof and seals so as to allow him to run and fight without fear of spilling. In addition there is an attachment that Axel added to house his camouflage paint.
Uniform:
Axel's uniform is a mix of dark greens and browns; giving it a camouflage style look to it. The suit itself is pretty much a fire proof body suit that allows full range of movement while offering the boy moderate protection from heat and fire.
Skills:
Horticulture, botany, herb-ology, gymnastics, hunting, archery, minor tracking and trapping, cooking, camping.
Weaknesses:
Fire: Axel has a great phobia of fire; even if he has not been burned he hates to be around flames and sparks. In addition fire can make his powers useless or even a threat to himself.
Cold: If it is cold enough for frost, snow or ice to form it can make it harder for Axel to make plants as strong as he wants them; and can limit him to reshaping previously grown plants.
Phyto-kinesis: When Axel is manipulating plants he needs to have time to work; and weather will affect his speed. Making a vine seed sprout and grow into a whip could take a few seconds in sunlight to taking a half a minute in rain or indoors and a minute in snowy weather; while shaping a stick into a sword can be easier to accomplish no matter the weather. As well Axel must be within ten feet of the plants he wishes to manipulate.
Phyto-genesis: This power always takes a lot of time and energy. And requires concentration; this makes it impossible to use in combat currently.
Photo-synthesis: Most of Axel's entire energy supply is affected by getting energy from the sun, air and water; so in winter he is usually seen as more tired and has troubles concentrating while he will be easier to fatigue.
Enhanced hearing and smell: These two powers can be easily overloaded by loud noises or many scents being around Axel; which can subject him to disorientation and headaches.

Motivation, and Why:
Learning: Axel wishes to learn as much as he can about his powers to try and help others. And he sees that his greatest potential is in the field of medicine since the majority of safer medicines are plant based.
Loyalty:
X-student
Physical Appearance:
Axel has long black hair that is most always uncombed and hangs loose down to his shoulders. His eyes are a dark green, his skin has a healthy tone to it, and he has no real scars on his body. As well his body is muscular yet not too bulky; based on his main exercises being those common to gymnasts. Axel stands at roughly five foot eleven inches tall; and weighs in at about one hundred seventy pounds.
Axel's sense of style is almost nonexistent. He will wear anything for comfort and practicality over style; even to the point where he has on occasionally made clothing out of plant materials for use with his powers. Though with that said he will rarely been seen in bright colors; and more often he will be in earth toned clothing. Overall Axel could be described as looking like a modern day caveman. Additionally in the winter Axel will wear heavier clothing; and usually in greater amounts of layers to avoid as much skin exposure to the cold air.
When he is using his powers Axel will usually drape his body in plant material; such as a cloak of moss, grasses and sticks to allow him camouflage if fighting in a fitting environment in addition to allowing him access to material for him to manipulate. As well he has been seen in the past as wearing 'armor' that is a mix of wood and other plants; and fashioning the 'gauntlets' to look like claws with sharper tips.
History:
Axel was born to a middle class family in the mid west portion of the northern border of the United States. And as such he grew up surrounded by and raised by hunters; of which made up most of his family on his father's side. Every winter after Axel was properly trained in hunter's safety in addition to at the very least basic archery skills; him and his father would go along the Canadian border to their cabin for hunting and fishing. At least until one of their trips when Axel was fourteen; when a trespasser on their property took a shot at Axel's father in front of the boy. This event is what triggered his mutation's emergence; and what resulted in a large tree pretty much whipping the assailant until he dropped his gun; by breaking both his arms after slamming a root into his shins. The attacker was arrested and served time but Axel's father lost the use of one of his legs and as such became unable to hunt; which resulted in him and Axel spending more time around the house as Axel's mother supported the family.
The emergence of Axel's powers were well accepted by his family; especially since they figured the powers are what managed to save the boy's father from further harm. But as if these powers were a gun they made sure he knew to only use them responsibly; and that he must practice their use safely so that he can learn the extent of their capabilities. And so Axel was supplied with books on as many fields of study that could give him knowledge on plant life; and when his head wasn't in a book he was out in the woods practicing his powers.
As Axel turned fourteen and reached high school one of his friends learned of his powers when the child spontaneously dropped by to hang out when Axel had been training; and while enthralled by the displays Axel put on for him the kid's mother saw Axel as someone to avoid. Yet when she told the young plant user he was to stay away from his friend and called him a freak he had a moment of anger which made a mass of roots rise up and restrain the woman. Once Axel realized that his powers were about to break the woman's ankles he let her go; but it had been enough for him to get kicked out of his school thanks to the comparison anti-mutant advocates used as saying mutants were like unregistered concealed weapons; and labeled as a threat by the townspeople around his home. So much so that he would get at very least looks or comments about him from people who used to be friends of their family. To try and protect Axel the boy's father tried to home school him but found it harder than he expected; which is when Xavier's school contacted the family and offered to teach Axel; and the family accepted the offer almost instantly. And since then Axel has been training his powers; while still focusing on his studies.
RP Sample:
With a soft creak the branch shifted under Axel's feet; the bow crafted with his powers in his hands drawn fully with the arrow's point aimed squarely on the deer's side where the brown fur faded into white. But just before the bowstring was released a bird happened to land on Axel's arm. And with his focus now split between the deer, the bird and his balance his powers lost their needed attention; and the branch snapped. This caused the arrow to fly up and into the branches above while Axel fell through those below until he landed on the ground below with a loud thud.
"Stupid bird! You just cost me dinner!" Axel yelled out at the now empty sky as he got up to his feet. Grumbling Axel picked up the tree branch he had made into the bow and began to return to the school; after all there were no decent forests within the city and if there were any he could swear he would only find rats, squirrels and pigeons; only for his mood to turn even more sour as the sun began to set beneath the tree line. By the time he returned to the campus it was dark and the bow had been snapped and disposed of a safe distance away when he was still outside of the city limits. If he was going to get in trouble it would only be for his curfew if he could help it.
