Mutations Sound Manipulation
Mutation description:
Kalith can manipulate soundwaves, enhancing them to cause damage to his surroundings and other people. He can also release powered up soundwave blasts from his body, usually his mouth, but also can use other sources of sound such as radios, intstruments, etc.
He can create a super sonic blast from his mouth, though if he goes any higher he can lose his voice until his throat heals up properly. He can also hum and send the soundwaves out through a different part of his body, usually his hands, causing high-low frequency vibrations in anything he touches. This technique can be used in massage therapy, essentially turning him into a giant human vibrator (ha ha yes laugh it up.)
If Kalith can hear a sound then he can amplify it with his powers, and he has experimented with different ways to use his powers. His favorite weapon of choice is actually a blow horn, as that gives him a loud sound to work with without expending much effort on his part. Other sound enhancing tools such as loudspeakers and microphones can also help amplify his power.
Kaliths powers are as such that any instrument, even a kazoo, can be a effective weapon in his hands.
In addition, if Kalith has enough time, he can use his power to find the resonant frequency of an object. This means that, like an opera singer shattering a wine glass, given enough time Kalith can destroy just about any object and cause it to crumble.
Strengths: Kalith can produce his own soundwaves to be used as attacks, which is useful in many ways. Also he is at his strongest in locations that have echoes, as he can bounce his attacks around and amplify them greatly. He calls this situation his chamber of sonic doom.
Weaknesses: Using Kaliths powers actually can hurt his throat, extended use of his powers can cause tremors in his body and partial deafness. He has to wear earplugs when he really turns up the volume. Also as is the case with soundwaves, they get less potent the farther you are from them, so the farther you are from Kalith the less you are effected by his power.
Secondary mutation description:
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Fighting Style
No real name for it, he just fights the best he can using his agility and strength, not afraid to use his powers if he needs to.
Explanation: Kalith likes to move around alot in battle, using his agility and speed to keep his distance and attack his opponent from afar. He also likes to wear his opponent down rather than take them out in one blow, but isn't afraid to get overly rough if he has to.
Pros for fighting style: He rarely if ever gets hit, and if he does get hit he can quickly react and counter his opponent.
Cons for fighting style: The more he uses his powers, the less powerful his attacks become. Eventually he will be forced into melee combat which isn't his strong suit

History Of Your Character
Kalith was actually born during a a rock concert, Kalith's parents loved music and he wasn't due for another three weeks, so they went to the concert. During the concert his mother went into labor and he actually was delivered back stage in the dressing room for the band. Even as a child he excelled at sports and physical activities, outrunning many of his school mates in track and field with ease. However growing up his love was music. He adored music of all types, but loved the guitar more than any other. His parents owned a music store so he always had a large music collection.
When Kaliths powers first manifested he was working part time in his parents music store, a crook came in to hold up the place and shot his father. Kalith screamed and the resulting soundwave blast knocked the crook clean off his feet and shattered every window within a block radius. His parents weren't sure what happened but Kalith felt different after that day, experimenting in secret with his powers to see what he could do.
When he graduated highschool Kalith moved into the city, got an apartment of his own, and started going to college. He has a band of his own that he is trying to get off the ground. He still uses his powers in secret and developed a skill at the art of parkour. He studies seriously and occasionally his band gets gigs, with him as the lead guitarist. He has taken it upon himself to do a little cleaning up of his neighborhood, using his parkour outfit he stops any crime he sees. Aside from that though he seeks help with his powers from whatever source he can. He doesn't want to be one of those rogue mutants that causes trouble for others.
To this day he has not told his friends about his powers, afraid they would not accept him after they find out his abilities. This is a constant worry to him, making him nervous about being outed as a mutant.

Sample RP:
It was Karaoke night at a local bar, and Kalith could not pass up the opportunity to show off his singing skills. The stage had everything he needed, microphones, speakers, and all sorts of musical equipment for this night. Many students from the local college were already gathering to hear who would sing and silently judge their fellow students on how well they sang. Many people had signed up and as the man who owned the bar walked on stage everyone grew quiet. He held the microphone to his lips and said, "Alright! I hope you are all ready for karaoke night. I hope this will be a recurring thing and We have the many talented people ready to sing their hearts out for you. So give it up for our first singer! Give it up for Kalith!"
A boy with short brown hair, a red bandana tied around his head, and soulful brown eyes stepped onto the stage. He wore a pair of black shoes and a pair of jeans that had been well worn. He also wore a white undershirt with a neatly buttoned shirt on top of that. He shushed the audience and snapped his fingers as the cue for the song to start. The sound system began playing the instrumental parts of his song. The monitors turned on and everyone could see his face as he began to sing,
He cued the music with a shake of his hand then pulled the microphone close to his mouth. Light guitar music started off the song, gentle and peaceful as the melody spun. The music slowly grew louder, gradually building up to the moment Kalith opened his mouth and began to sing.
"On the bank of the Tennesee River..."
He sang softly, almost gently, his voice washing over the room.
"In a small Kentucky town.
I drew my first breath one cold Autumn morning,
And before my feet even touched the ground...
With the doctors and the nurses gathered 'round..."
He paused then he moved his feet to the now upbeat music, spinning and dancing on stage,
"I started to dance!"
He smiled out to the crowd,
"Woo yeah! I started to dance!"
He took the microphone off the stand and paced around the stage, letting the music build a little before he continued,
"A little boy full of wide-eyed wonder,
Footloose and fancy free."
He paused for a moment then continued,
"But it would happen, as it does for every dancer,
That I'd stumble on a truth I couldn't seeeeeee..."
He held the note for a bit then with a grin he sang,
"And find a longing deep inside of meeeeee,
it said..."
He spun around and started dancing, bringing his hands to his chest,
"I am the heart, I need the heartbeat"
He closed his eyes and opened them wide,
"I am the eyes, I need the sight"
He then slid down to his knees and proclaimed to the heavens,
"I realize that I am just a body,
I need the life!"
He jumped up and started dancing, his feet moving to the strong guitar and piano playing.
"I move my feet, and I go through the motions,
But who'll give purpose to chance?
I am the dancer!
I need the Lord of the dance!"
He grinned and danced as the music played along, telling a story that has been told hundreds of times before. The story of a boy without direction, looking for the answers to the questions that he has in his mind. He would walk a thousand miles, if it meant gaining an inch in the direction and purpose of his life. Then one day, he finds what he is looking for, a person to guide him down that path he is destined to tread.
"The world beneath us spins in circles,
And this life makes us twist and turn and sway...
But we were made for more than rhythm with no reason.
By the one who moves with passion and with grace,
As He dances over all that He has made!"
He held that note for as long as he could then started dancing again,
"I am the heart, He is the heartbeat!"
"I am the eyes, He is the sight!"
"And I see clearly, I am just a body,"
"He is the life!"
"I move my feet, I go through the motions
But He gives purpose to chance..."
He paused and sang softly, his words washing over the audience like water,
"I am the dancer
He is the Lord of the dance."
The music grew louder, more aggressive, and he sang louder along with it,
"Lord of the dance!"
Still the music grew and his voice grew with it till his voice reached even outside the restaurant,
"Lord of the dance!"
Then he grew quiet and danced once more, his feet moving like lightning across the stage. His magic flowing through him and out through his feet as sparks that lit up the stage.
"And while the music of His love and mercy plays..."
He said then fell to his knees and belted to the heavens,
"I will fall down on my knees and I will pray!"
He leapt to his feet and pointed first to himself then to the audience,
"I am the heart, You are the heartbeat!
"I am the eyes, You are the sight!"
"And I see clearly, I am just a body,
You are the life!"
"I move my feet, I go through the motions
But You give purpose to chance,
I am the dancer,
But you are the Lord of the dance!"
He held the note, growing quieter as the music slowly started fading out, growing softer and more gentle.
"I am the dancer..."
"You are the Lord of the dance..."
On that note he put the microphone back on the stand and waited for the audiences reaction...
