Name: Beauregard "Bugs" Eugene Stockman
Alias/Code Name: Bugly
Age: 14
Character Type: Mutant
Gender: Male
Alignment: Heroic
Appearance: Bugly stands at 3'9", and weighs less than 100 lbs. his skin is a blueish purple and has a distinctly nonhuman consistency, more akin to chiton than human flesh. his eyes are larg eand red, multifaceted like a fly's, but retaining the human capacity to blink. his face is odd, lacking for any semblence of a nose but with a small, protruding mouth and odd vestigal mandibles.Bugly's hair is flaming orange, and quite bushy, concealing much of his head, except for a pair of antenea that extend from his forehead. He has odd, insection eyebrows that are more akin to eye ridges than the human equivilent. his hands are three fingered with slender dexterous talons in place of human fingers and toes. Two sets of iridescent blueish green wings, akin to a dragon fly's are sprouted from his back.
Bugly dresses very strangely for a child his age, prefering neatly pressed slack, brown leather loafers, and light colored plaid shirts. He usually wears a watch on one hand, and has an afinity for lab coats, which inevitably look far to large on his smallish frame.
Personality: Bugly is cheerful and friendly, with a likable personality, and generally happy disposition. He is very intelligent, and somewhat bookish by nature, almost always reading three or four, sometimes at the same time. Very energetic.
Likes: Reading, tinkering with new gadgets, collecting action figures, anything containing sugar.
Dislikes: Stupid people, racists, being bored
Strengths: Bugly is very intelligent, he grasps new ideas and new situaitons very quickly. His heghtened metabolism keeps him going a mile a minute, and he generally pours that into almost manic levels of activity. He has considerable technical acumen for a child his age, and can deconstruct even complex devices in a short perios of time. He can fly, and using pym particles shrink himself to very small sizes.
Weaknesses: Consuming sugar makes Bugs very hyper...very very hyper. When he gets into a manic state he's been known to take apart things he's not supposed to, and even damage high priced equipment. He is not particularly durable, and can be damaged very easily, particularly when he's shrunk down to his smaller size. He is physicly weaker than the average human. Although he's got a great many physical skills, he has no training in their use, and is somewhat diminished
Powers/Weapons: The first and most obvious abilites Bugly has are tied to his physical mutaitons. His skin is slightly more duarble than average, allowing him to deflect knife blows, and most human level punches fairly easily, albiet without being able to deflect the actual force of the blow. His talons are adept at gripping most surfaces, giving him an nearly spiderman level of gripping ability, while his wings allow him limited flight (They use quite a bit of energy at full size, and he can generally only fly for five to ten minutes by himself- he flat cannot carry anyone else.) His eyes are multifaceted, and he has the capacity to use them indepedently of one another, making him very adept at seeing all around him, or even focussing on more than one thing at a time. They eyes are also better than the average human, allowing him limited telescopic vision, and the capacity to see infared and ultraviolet. His antenea are capable of sensing air movement, and he can sometimes 'feel' electrical and energy fields.
Bugly's mind is also fairly unique. Whereas the average human mind is bifurcated, and thus can focus its capabilities into two sepperate areas at once, Bugly's mind is actually split into 8 sepperate segmants, forming an odd honeycomb shape. This unique genetic gift allows his mind to opperate up to eight processes at once, not unlike a paralell processor on a computer. This talen lets him process information far more quickly than a baseline human, and also store and recall said information that much faster. Using his mind to its full potential is a challenge though, and one Bugly hasn't fully grasped.
Most interestingly of all, Bugly seems to be the first mutant to naturally produce the exotic subatomic matter called pym particles. While certain humans have been mutated to produce these, Bugly seems to produce these naturally. In his case they're naturally secreted through his skins in times of great stress, causing him to shrink. Its not infact uncommon to see Bugly panic and then shrink as a result. Its possible that practice might allow him to hone his skills, and perhaps even shrink others with himself, but he's not quite grasped how to do this yet. On the bright side when he is shrunk, it allows him to remain flying for far longer periods of time, and even increases his proportional strength to nearly that of what he has full size. His minimum size is something in the neighborhood of three inches.
His body has also found a natural use for these particles as a venom of sorts, through a pair of wrist mounted stingers, which fire small transluscent darts he calls stings. Fired at ranges up to 30 ft, these stings strike a target, releasing a burst of pym particles that cause uncontrolled shrinking from their victim, and which can shrink them to under three inches dependent on the target, and their exposure to the venom. Naturally Bugly is limited to firing ten or twenty of these darts at one time, and it can take him up to a day to regrow his stock.
History: Bugs was never really a normal kid. His physical mutations started at birth, his parents though, were cool with that. Two upper class, liberally minded activists, they embraced their son as diffenent and moved on. They didn't freak, try to drown him in a bathtub, or give him up for adoption. Bugs was just different, and that was something they had to deal with. As a result, they never sent him to public school, for fear of what the other kids might do to him, but instead kept him at home, got him the best tutors, arranged playdates with other mutant children. Weird sure, but stable as families go. In this enviroment Bugs never accepted himself as being a freak. He was just...himself.
Socialization was less an issue with books around, and all the cool action figures his parents got him. Less even when he discovered the internet, chatrooms. Of course it was there that he began to understand he wasn't just like other kids...he was different. His parents had explained mutation, but now he understood it. Understood that alot of people saw him as a freak...and that was a bit scary.
His parents argued it shouldn't be, that he could use his technical skills to become whatever he wanted, that it wouldn't matter then...but He knew he'd be alone still, when there were other kids like him out there, at a local private school nearby even!
So Bugs begged, and begged, and begged to be allowed to go...up until his parents finally relented, and agreed to let him go to the Xavier Institute...Or Graymalkin Industries...whatever it was called.
So now Bugs faces the greatest challenge of his young life...High School.
