Character
Personality:
Jon tends to usually be rather calm and bookish. Some may call him "cold" or "aloof", but that's mainly just due to a mild lack of social skills and a low interest in making friends his age or otherwise. He is trustworthy and a good listener, but can sometimes become overfixated. He also has a rather sympathetic side - almost definitely a direct result fo his mutation.
Morality:
In the typical D&D spectrum, Jon is Lawful Good. He is kind and doesn't tolerate people being caused suffering by others, and believes firmly in law and order. He is logical, studious and organised in most things.
Hobbies/ Interests:
Jon likes Reading, History and the occasional Video Game. His main Athletic interests are Gymnastics and Swimming.

Student

Arachnophobia

Semi-Photographic memory
Mutations
Mutation description:
Empath
Jon has the ability to sense the feelings of others, and transmit feelings to them. This can be done over a short range or touch, but touch is easier and offers better results. He can occasionally trace why people feel the way they are, but doesn't like doing this - he views it as an invasion of Privacy. In other words - he can link to people and sense their emotions.
Weaknesses and Limitations:
If he's trying to read another Phsycic, especially one on a higher power level than him, a number of things can happen. Generally, the link can work two ways: people can use his mutation back on him, or just straight up lock him out of their mind. Doing a lock forcefully tends to knock Jon out for 1-3 hours. The Phsychic link doesn't usually last very long, and it takes concentration to keep it going. His current maximum is half an hour. He can't usually link to more than 4 people at once, more than that is taxing on his mind. The range of his Link is usually around 30 feet.
History Of Your CharacterJon Livingston was a boy of 15 residing in a quiet little town in Britain, and he had an uncommon trait. Coming from a way respected family, he grew up in the auspices of his single father's devotion to the cosmos, since he was a Well-knowledgeable professor of astrophysics. Nestled in his garden, haunted by books, enlightened by symposiums about universal secrets, and crouched for musings, such was the demeanor of Jon: remarkably innocent and overzealous-not just about the stars, but human emotions too.
Even at a very young age, Jon had an innate sense of otherness. A whole world of human emotion sometimes assaulted him when he sensed their feelings. A mere lunch with his parents turned into a kaleidoscope of feelings; jubilant laughter mingled with stark undertones of anxiety, joy jostled with lingering undercurrents of sadness. So whereas for most kids sharing their emotions with their friends meant celebration and comfort, Jon often retreated into a world in which the cacophony of other people's feelings would quiet to a whisper. The very thought of stepping forth-for instance, letting them know how he felt, or soaking up their feelings-seemed to spin the dial into the red.
His childhood friends in Britain - kindred souls such as Dougal whose love of books, World of Warcraft and science resonated with Jon-gave him ready comfort. Their gaming somehow let imaginations take flight, exploring the universe together, albeit in their limited way. With every friendship, however, came further complexities of feelings, of which Jon felt with great depth. Understanding and supporting them was his desire; his gift was his guide to sailing through their ebbs and flows.
When Jon's father was offered a job teaching at a New York University, the offer was too much to resist. One moment Jon was in Cambridge, the next he was struggling to adapt to a Country he had never been to before. The experience was a bit overwhelming, and Jon struggled. He went back to his usual quiet tendencies as a coping method, to his father's partial worry.
Jon eventually heard about Xavier's Sister School for Gifted Youngsters, and was excited at the idea of a place where he could use his abilities without judgement, in a community of similar people. He is currently figuring out a way to join - his father has a bit of on/off knowledge on the school, but he views that if his son is actually integrating, it's a good thing.

Sample RP:
It was around 8PM at night when Jon decided to write to his friend Dougal. They hadn't really spoken since he moved to NY, given they were an ocean apart. Writing a letter seemed the only reasonable way to do it - he couldn't link that far away, and he never told Dougal he was a mutant. It would be a shock. Not only that, but a Text or Email had a haphazard chance of working over such distance. Therefore - written letter. He picked up a pen and began to write in his usual spiderlike loops:
Dear Dougal,
How's life in Cambridge? Actually, ignore that, you'll be in Aberdeen by now.
Jon silently cursed. Dougal's family went to Aberdeen with their Grandparents for the Half Term.
Dad's new job is good, and he's still trying to find a new school for me. I actually already have one in mind....
Anyway, New York is different. Good Different. I mean, some of the people here completely alter the English Dialect to the point on non-recognition, but if you get past the unorthodox linguistics they seem good enough. We should be getting the WiFi up tomorrow, so I may be seeing you on World of Warcraft soon, doing the good old "Vylian and Baldric: Dynamic Duo" gig again! At least, if I can pull up the right server... The Internet is also different here in America.
Anyway, hope Life is good wherever you are, Dougal!
Jon
He posted it next morning. At least this way... They could still talk.
