Description of ability(ies): Gene has the ability to create a type of "force field" around him. To elaborate he does not always have it going, because it drains so much strength from him, and the field itself is not a bubble, it actually sticks over him like a second skin. He can extend it out into a bubble but cannot hold it very long (a few seconds). He can focus the field to only certain parts of his body, using less strength. If he bursts the field outwards it can harm anyone in it's way, though it drains the strength out of him quickly.
Cons (weaknesses) of ability(ies): He cannot keep the field going long, especially if he extends it. Using it offensively (extending it in a burst towards someone) drains him so quickly he can only do it a couple times, depending on the force. If he over uses it he can easily pass out and fall unconscious.. Because he hasn't trained with it much he does not know how to fully control it, under times of stress he may inadvertently use it and tire himself out.
Fighting style (if any): Judo, he has a pistol also.


History of your character: Gene was born to a successful family, his father was a lawyer, and his mother was a programmer, they gave him a good upbringing in Virginia, helping him with whatever he wanted to do in life. Even when he got into high school, he wasn't sure, once he was a senior he realized something, he seemed to be a natural leader. He hadn't noticed this before, but al of a sudden he was now the class president, he could convince people of anything,, he decided to join the Army. He worked hard in the Army, becoming an officer and achieving the rank of captain. He was a member of the Green Berets and led his squad through multiple campaigns, and that's when America started to run in to it's first problems with mutants. When this happened the U.S. military secretly started checking for mutants in the higher ranks, finding Gene they nearly kicked him out, until they find out what exactly was his power. Realizing his potential they placed him in charge of a new task force, governed by the NSA, his job was to investigate mutant activities.
Sample RP: The doors burst open, men with sub machine guns stormed in, clearing the building room by room, until they reached one long hallway, with mutants cornered at the end. The agents stood guard at one end of the hallway, waiting for orders on what to do next. They were scared, they knew the some of the mutants had dangerous powers, and in this situation storming the room could cost some good men. Footsteps echoed down the hall as a fairly good sized man approached them, "Stay on guard, hand me the blow horn" he told one of them, the man left and returned with one, handing Gene the device. Gene cleared his throat and raised it to his mouth "Fellow mutants!" he said in a friendly tone "Stop the fighting, stop the hate , I too was like you, a sheep lost from the herd, but I have found my way, I am no longer the sheep, but the shepard. I want you to help, come out my friends, come out and join the population you were once apart of, the society you abandoned." After a few agonizing minutes the mutants came out, arms raised. Immediatey the agents surrounded them, guns ready " "Were sorry for our crimes, please don't send us to prison." one of them said. Gene shook his head in disgust and started to leave, all of a sudden he heard a flurry of activity, the mutants rebeled against the armed guards, killing them in such close quarters. This time they surrounded him "You underestimated us, you and your chronies." One of them said "Another dead human, maybe this time you evolutionary throwbacks will learn a lesson, kill him." The man said, but before the mutants carried out the plan an invisible wall emanated from Gene, a shockwave of energy, sending them into the walls around them, easily enough force in the blast to knock them out. The leader of them went down the hall though, hitting a door he was dazed but barely conscious. Gene walked calmly towards him, pistol in hand. "A- a mutant?!" The man said struggling to comprehend what he saw "That's right" Gene responded, pointing the gun at his face and pulling the trigger. The shot echoed through the halls, and Gene fell to his knees, the strength had been sapped right from him, guards came running in, two of them helping him to his feet.
