Character's real name: Mathew Mitchell

Codename/Alias: Fever

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Nationality/Ethnicity: England
Birthplace: England

Personality:
Fever is private and aloof. He doesn't worry about other people much and often has his own agenda. The groups he affiliates with will never have his true loyalty, as he is attracted by power and will often change to adapt to the winning team. He's very deceptive, although he also hates bullies and those who take advantage of the weak and has been known to defend those who need defending. He likes very expensive things and will do almost anything for money or power, though with him neither lasts long. His self-professed weakness is that he can never be truly cold - he'd like to be callous and uncaring to the world, as he thinks emotion hinders him, but his moral conscience never fails to intervene when it comes to hurting the innocent or targeting someone for a crime who will not recover. He finds it difficult to imagine a greater good, and therefore does not try to help create one - however, unless it directly benefits him he won't go out of his way to be bad either.

(Update - okay, so this was probably the worst kept secret on MRO. Lol I'm going to let everyone know about Fever's real powers now, so when the breakout happens there won't be so much confusion about how he suddenly became super-powerful)
Description of ability(ies): Fever has the ability to create intense feelings of agitation, passion or anger. He can send a crowd into a frenzy, or put one individual into a state of debilitating lust. It's very effective for creating confusion and choas, especially when he uses different effects at one time. The physical representation of his power is that people feel uneasy, irritated and distracted, often sweating, shivering and suffering from headache. Their temperatures increase to unusual levels and their heartrate increases, as if suffering from fever. His natural state is to be controlled by his powers - sanity and lucidity were never meant to be part of his genetic makeup. If Mathew allows himself the full use of his powers, he's a level 5 mutant able to cripple entire cities with intense, irrepressable emotions - an almost unstoppable mutant, a force of nature. At his full strength it's possible for him to literally make hearts explode with the pressure, or make people convulse so badly that their bones snap like twigs. An apt comparison would be the emotional equivalent of a perpetually active nuclear explosion.

Cons (weaknesses) of ability(ies): If alone with one person, Fever can cause untold choas with that person's bodily functions, to the point of sending the victim mad or giving them a heart attack. However, it gets weaker the more people he tries to effect - a busy street can be controlled, but an entire airport, for example, would only suffer minor headaches and a feeling of unease. Fever finds it hard to conrol his powers and often loses control when he's feeling an emotion himself - if he is angry, the room will be angry, if he is turned on, the entire room will feel lust. If he allows himself to lose control, he will become an engine of chaos, hatred and fiery passion, and his powers are then incredible, not bound by the limits of how many are affected - however, to maintain his sanity and safety he must keep his powers under control at all times. Should Mathew lose control and allow his powers to take over, as he is genetically designed to do, he loses all sense and reason. He's basically a walking ability, with no conscience or control, and his powers are never off - he constantly radiates a dangerous presence, and everyone near him suffers an emotional influx of insane proportions. He's incredibly weak to psychics in this state, as he has no way of mentally defending himself; his mind is a maze of chaos and confusion which even he himself cannot navigate.

Fighting style (if any):
Fever isn't a disciplined fighter - he fights tooth and nail, as dirty as he has to be to win.
History of your character: Mathew Mitchell was born in Enlgand, March 3rd 1989. When his mother was carrying him, she was subject to incredibly violent moodswings - it's thought that his powers manifested themselves even then. However, he spent much of his childhood normal, in the south where it's hottest in England. His powers became dormant through childhood, until he was a young teenager - his mother left town for a weekend and he threw a party. Being the first time he got drunk, it made him uncontrollable and emotional - the other teenagers at the party started to become irritated, then frustrated, and the drunker he got the more irate the guests behaved. The alcohol made him lose control of his senses, and this was the chance his powers had been waiting for - he reached fever-pitch and lost control of himself, losing all reason and sense, and the party became a small riot. Many people were injured, and it went into the local paper as a mass orgy/gang war/street party. Most of the locals put it down to teenage hysteria fuelled by drink and moodiness.
After this event Mathew woke up seemingly normal, but his life was never to be the same. His powers had emerged and would make themselves known in many ways in the years to come, almost driving him insane - the moments when he lost control and lost his sense of self to the hate and passion greatly inhibited his ability to socialise affectively and he became a recluse, trying to avoid large groups of people. However, he has learned some degree over his powers now and, while still preferring to avoid large groups of people, he went to New York after hearing of several groups of mutants who might be able to help him learn more about his abilities.

Ooo, intriguing power and consequences for it. It'll be interesting to see that get played out.

Welcome to MRO!

Well now, you sound fun. *smiles*

*Winks at Syn* I can be, Syn. Hm... Syn. I have a habit of bringing that quality out in people. *Laughs*

As do I. *winks back*

Then maybe someday we'll have our own adventure, Syn, and see just which one of us can be the baddest - if you think you're up to it, that is.

Try not to get too angry, Abyss, 'cos I can't use the power in reverse! *gulp* Lol

Don't worry brother. He has no idea what he's gettig himself into. *winks at Fever*

Yeah...Kaz backed off fairly quickly....I think that says something considering what Kaz is like XD

*Smiles wider than ever at Syn* Then I guess we've got outselves a regular challenge, Syn. Careful you don't get burned - there's not much room to stretch my wings in the camp... but when I get out, we'll see who does and who does not know what they are getting into.

Challenge accepted. But since you're apparently in the camps then you're already off to a bad start. Seems to me you would've used your power to keep from going into the camps. tsk tsk tsk. *shakes head*

By the way...is Fever's power psychic based?

No, not psychic based, Syn. He manipulates chemicals in the body which is what causes the shivering, sweating and panting. Lol

Update: Scratch that. The origin of Fever's power is now by force of his personality; it can be loosely described as a psionic, though it still the effect is still on neurotransmitters and not brainwaves. *Winks at Syn* Fever keeps his promises... most of the time!

Sounds very similar to what you do Syn, the messing with body chemicals (via pheromones) that is.

Only superficially, Kaz. Fever's keeping his real power close to his chest for the time being. *Smiles cagily at Kaz and dismisses his statement with an arrogant flick of the wrist*

I'd have to agree
