Character

Personality: Sunny is very shy and can be very reclusive. He doesn’t like talking to a lot of people since he hasn’t got a lot of self confidence when it comes to socializing. Though when it comes to his archery and his mutations, he is very confident in them and tends to come out of his shell a lot more. In fact some would say that he is a completely different person because of the determination and confidence he produces at these times. Sunny is always doing something since he has insomnia and can’t fall a sleep. So he just does things, like read, or practices his archery skills. When he does smile, which can be done if you’re a friend of his, it is said that the whole room brightens up. He is a generally a kind and mellow person and stays loyal to any friend once made and is very forgiving. He can get very agitated if he hasn’t had sleep for a couple of days and his temper can rise at these moments. He is also gay but tends to hide it and hasn't of yet admitted it. He is also very smart due to his photographic memory but quite a lot of the times he is absent minded. This means he may know a definition of something complicated but he doesn’t know what he is defining. For example he may know the definition of quantum dislocation but he wouldn’t know it was for quantum dislocation. Further extending the E.g.:

Quantum dislocation is when an atom or an object being measured on the quantum level is slightly affected by any atomic or quantum causes and thus skews the result of any measurement.

Sunny would know the bit what is underlined but wouldn’t know it was for the bit in italics. So his knowledge is very patchy and quite jumbled up.
Hobbies/ Interests: Archery and reading. He reads anything from fantasy all the way to the string theory.
Fears/ phobias/ concerns: Has insomnia due to horrific nightmares he gets when he is a sleep. He hasn’t been able to get it cured so he just goes a long with it and tries not to fall a sleep.

He has a fear of being in complete darkness and all alone.

He has a weak form of social anxiety, he always looks down when speaking to people and he blushes if people make fun of him. He is also afraid of what people may think of him and can sometimes end up blushing if no one is talking to him.
Special talents: Incredibly good at Archery since he started to practise it at the age of 7. Although he has had 10 years worth of it and has been able to progress fairly quickly, he is no master at it; he is just incredibly good Archer. As stated above he has a Photographic memory, but due to the way his mind works, he doesn’t find it at all reliable.


Morality

Good/ bad/ neutral/ other: Good. He is good natured type of person so any types of wrong doing he can find offensive though he is quite forgiving.

Mutations

Mutation description: Can manipulate photons from artificial lights sources... This means he can only control photos from light bulbs, glow sticks, LEDs or anything which is done artificially. He can not control photons from the sun, moon, or light produced from organic origins. He must be at least 3 meters near an artificial source of light to control the photons.

Sunny can manipulate photons into light shields by consolidating them and making them give off a short and coherent wave. It is similar on how lasers are made but due to the closed pack ness of it and short length it does not burn. His main type of way of doing this is by using a torch which he normally carries and produces a light barrier from it though if near enough he can produce a shield from any type of artificial light. He can form a shield to any basic shape (Circle, triangle, square or rectangle) and depending how strong the artificial source of light is, he can increase it to twice his size. A 5 watt bulb can give him a shield his size, a 10 watt bulb can give him a shield about twice. It is very strong and both energy based attacks and objects can have a hard time breaking it. After every hit, the shield does start to deteriorate and after 3 hits the shielding will break though a powerful enough force can break it in one hit (think of a car travelling at 30 mp

He can produce light blasts from artificial sources of light as well by manipulating the photons into a coherent and monochromatic wavelength and forming it into a ball. It can punch a hole into brick walls but isn’t powerful enough to go through them in one hit. The affects on humans can knock them back and mildly burn them.

Weaknesses:

* Artificial light can easily be disposed off, like switching the mains electricity to what ever, destroying the source of light, or the batteries run out.
* Creating over 2 shields at the same time can be a strain on his body.
* Due to his insomnia, he may sometimes be unable to have enough energy to use his powers.
* He is especially vulnerable to psychic attacks due to his insomnia, social anxiety and horrific nightmares which have left his mind wide open to attack and can easily be controlled by a psychic.
* Darkness based powers can weaken him since he is scared of the dark and if they have the power to cover up the source of light he is using then he is powerless.

Secondary mutation description: His eyes can not be dazzled by bright light or photons and can easily see straight at the sun in all its glory.
Weaknesses: The rest of his senses, except for touch, switch off if he sees an incredibly bright light but they easily resume if he looks away from it. His sense of touch is dulled quite a bit and with these all put together, a person could easily sneak up on him.

Fighting Style: Archery, if that counts

Explanation: Well he doesn’t know any martial arts or hand to hand combat moves but he is incredibly skilled in archery. He has learnt how to aim at what part of the body which can be disabled by using his arrows.
Pros for fighting style: Long distanced and mainly aims at limbs.
Cons for fighting style: Can take time to reload and does not aim to kill, aims to disable. He is not good at hand to hand combat and can be taken down if a person is too close to him.

Faction Allegiance
Unaffiliated but interested in the X-men.

History Of Your Character:

Sunny’s dad, Valdi Karlsson, was a university lecturer on psychology at Reykjavík University. He met Sunny’s mum, Roselyn Hardy, in England while he was at a Psychology lecture. He met her in the university where the lecture was being held, as she was studying psychology as well, and they accidentally bumped into each other. They soon got talking and over a period of time they fell in love with each other. After a hard but worth while long distance relationship, Roselyn moved over to Iceland and was able to teach Psychology at one of the colleges. They eventually had a son and called him Dagbjartur, which means daylight in Icelandic. Due to Roselyn’s being English and finding it easier to speak in English, she nicked named him Sunny.

At an early age Sunny started to experience horrific nightmares and night terrors. As both his parents where Psychologists they thought that they could easily cure it. Unfortunately to no avail, they couldn’t cure it but found out the reason why. They found out that Sunny had a photographic memory and due to his mental physiology, nightmares occurd. A more in depth reason is because the mind processes the memories of our day in our sleep and dreams occur. So due to Sunny’s photographic memory and mental physiology his mind gives him nightmares instead of dreams. Both parents were saddened by this but still loved him all the same. Sunny eventually developed Insomnia from this and then developed social anxiety because the kids at school used to make fun of him falling a sleep all the time.

His father had a hobby of Archery and at the age of 7, sunny started to take up the hobby as well. Sunny enjoyed being able to play archery and it seemed to be the only thing he was good at. He was also very good at speaking English at this time as well as he spoke both languages due to his parents.

As he grew up, he lived an ordinary life at school, having a few friends and going to the hot springs in Iceland , although it took a while for his friends to persuade him to go and then it took them a while to actually get him into the hot springs .

At the age of 9 he scarred his left arm when he let go of the string of the bow tearing his flesh when he wasn’t wearing an arm guard. This of course made him more socially anxious and started to look down and blush a lot when people talked to him.

When he was 10 he started to notice his mutation. He was able to see bright lights without being dazzled and that when ever he passed a light bulb, it went brighter for a few seconds. At first he thought it was a coincidence until his parents and friends noted that when ever he entered the room, it seemed to get brighter for some reason. He at first thought that they were being nice but quickly dismissed and decided to test it out. He got a torch and put weak batteries into them and when he switched it on, the torch was easily able to shine in the darkness rather well. He then tested it even more and gave the torch to his mum to try out, and she said it was dull and probably needed new batteries. When he tried it again, out of sight of anyone else, the torch was able to shine easily. After this revelation he started to practise his powers and read up on light and then photons.

Several years passed and he was able to learn a great deal more of his powers and his Archery skills grew, he even won a national contest at the age of 16. At the age of 17 his parents found out about it and although sceptical about it at first and how hurt Sunny was at there sceptic attitude, they realised it was no use to hate him for it since it would only damage him mentally even more. They soon learnt to cope with it and were rather accepting to it. His father did some research and digging and found that there was a school which mutants could go to: A sister college to Xavier’s school. Sunny at the moment is getting ready to leave his parents and leave off to the school.

Roleplay
Where did you learn about this site?: I googled X-men RPG forums and found this one and nearly straight away.
Sample RP:

Sunny was packing up some of his stuff to go to the college where he could learn more about his powers. He was packing up his bow and arrows and filling in the forms for it. Of course a weapon wasn’t about to get into America without filling in some sort of forms, with there high security and all. He looked briefly at his pack and thought that most of his stuff was mostly winter clothes since living in Iceland wasn’t a brilliantly summers day. He sighed a little and thought how different the climate would be and then wondered how different the people were. Were the people the same in America or different, and were the students at the school nice or were they just as horrible as some people he knew. He sighed a little and rubbed his eyes, he couldn’t get any sleep the in past days since his father mention about the school. He looked back at the form as the pains in his limbs, deprived of sleep, were panging again.

“How are you doing?” said a sweet voice coming from behind him. He knew it was his mum and gave a feeble backhand wave, which his mother knew that he was fine, although very sleepy. She came into the room and pressed a few photo frames with pictures in them, into his suitcase. Sunny briefly looked up and gave a gentle smile. He knew what the photos were of: one being the photo of him, his mother and father standing in front of a warm but iced house, a photo of him winning the archery contest and a photo of him and all his friends at the hot springs . He gave a little chuckle at the last one since he was the only one wearing clothes since he didn’t feel like going into the hot springs at that time, he was too embarrassed and shy. His mother came over and kissed him gently on his forehead.

“Tomorrow you’ll be all the way in America …or is that yesterday, since the timing in America is completely different” she said giving off a small and gentle chuckle. Sunny blushed slightly and diverted his eyesight from his mother.

“I…I think it’ll be tomorrow” he whispered in a lightly reserved and happy tone.

“Okay then Sunny Skies, it’ll be tomorrow” she said and she walked passed him and out of the door. She stopped to look back at her son and a sad haunted smile feel upon her face. She loved her son but the thought of him going away, into the big bad world, pained her. She did know however that Sunny was stronger then most people took him for and knew he would be alright.

Sunny finished righting the form out and put a few more things into his suitcase. He picked up a torch and rubbed the lens of it slightly. His friend gave it to him as a present since they all knew he was strangely fixated on torches. He looked sadly at it since he was leaving the few friends he had. He sighed again and put the torch gently into his suitcase. He also then unplugged his nightlight, and grabbed his teddy called Frederick and put them gently into the suitcase as well. He hoped that the other teens wouldn’t make fun of with these things. He remembered the day when his friends found out about Frederick and made fun of him when he was 15. He ran out the room crying and his friend never made fun of him again.

He then looked out the window to see the snow falling gently against the icy landscape of Iceland . He was going to miss the sweet bitter coldness of the snow and the radiant warmth of the heated floors in his house. The snow then came to a sudden halt as the sun gave a few rays of light onto the glistening snow and then the snow fell onto the land again as quickly as it stopped. Sunny smiled at this and thought that maybe he and Frederick were going to be okay.

Welcome to MRO. Your power seems cool, and as the resident triangle barrier user here, it's nice to see more people embracing the wonders of geometry. I look forward to seeing you in a thread real soon. Hope you have fun here. : )

Hey Sunny! *waves* Welcome to MRO.

I have a question Sunny. You say he carries a "torch" with him at all times. Are you refering to a flashlight of some kind or a stick with flammable rags wrapped around it?

lol, Syn. "Torch" is a pretty common word for "flashlight" outside the US, from what I gather.

Welcome to MRO, Sunny!
