Powers

Mutant Power: Empathy/telepathy, telekinesis

Extents (ability): A young Empath/telepath, Dale can broadcast his own feelings, or even sense other's feelings and thoughts as easily as others breathe. However, if exposed to extremely strong, dark emotions, he can get lost in the other person's feelings. Taking on their dark emotions and losing his 'self' in those dark thoughts/feelings. His telepathy is so strong, that he unconsciously radiates his own feelings a couple of feet, meaning anyone near the teenager is wrapped in a subtle cloak of whatever emotions he is projecting when around him. He is also able to sense the life force of anyone within a 10-ft radius of him. With his telepathic abilities, he can 'lash out' mentally at people's minds. His mental 'daggers' vary in what strength he wants them to have.
  
They can either cause a person pain, or knock them out. Knocking someone out though takes more energy out of Dale then merely causing them pain and he can only knock out up to 5 or 6 people per hour.
   
As yet, Dale has not found a limit to his telepathic range. Of course, he's never really tried to test his limits. When he has concentrated, he has always been able to connect with his father's mind or the minds of those he cares about.
  
With his telekinesis, Dale can lift, with his mind alone, about 300 lb. A little over twice his own weight. However, attempting to lift much more than this with his telekinesis has thus far only served to strain this power and render it useless for 48 hours. Using his telekinesis, Dale can lift himself up and use it to fly.


What do you think of your mutant ability:


Personality

Psychological Background: Educated and well off, young Dale knows he doesn't want for anything financially.  And probably never will. But the sweet natured boy is extremely lonely and unsure of himself around others. Separated from others all his life not only by his powers, but by his disabilities as well. His father is overly protective and kept Dale apart from everyone but those he approved of, and also contributed to his loneliness by accident. A pacifist by nature, Dale doesn't like the idea of fighting. Even if he is willing to admit there's a need for it he usually looks for some other means to avoid injuring others. Innocent and trusting, he is a shy young man, who is caring, warm and polite towards others.


Personality Quirks: Carries around a note pad and pencil so that he can at least communicate with people if they don't know sign language, and he can't use telepathy on them. Is mildly addicted to Cherry lollipops, popsicles, and orange Gatorade.


History

General History:On Oct 27, two weeks before the due date, Dale's parents, on the way to the hospital for a regular check up, were crossing the street when a drunk driver ran the red light and broad sided their car. Given they were nearly at the hospital already, the ambulance arrived in record time.
   
Kevin's leg was broken in the accident but his wife, whose side of the car had been struck sustained mortal injuries. Despite all that the doctors tried to do, it soon became obvious that she was dying and there was nothing they could do to prevent it. To save her unborn child, the doctors performed an emergency C-section.
  
Grieving for his lost wife, and left with a tiny infant to care for, Kevin named the baby after his mother, as a tribute to the woman he had so loved and raised the boy as best he could.  Dale was a lot like his mother and soon became the centre of his father's life. Determined to give his son the best of everything, and unable to deal well with his wife's death, Kevin began burying himself deeper into his work.
  
All that Kevin had left of his wife, Dale's father made sure that his child wanted for nothing. But at the age of three, Dale caught Haemophilus influenzae, a type of bacterial meningitis. By the time his father realized that Dale didn't just have some childhood flu, the boy was very, very sick. And although Dalesurvived, he was permanently struck deaf by the illness. Losing his hearing at such an early age, Dale has never learned how to speak either. Soon losing what speaking skills he'd started learning and is thus also mute.
  
It was when Dale was 5 that his mutant powers, empathy and telepathy finally emerged. Surfaced while the boy was trying to explain something to his father who just could not make out what Dale was signing. Growing more and more frustrated and upset, his telepathy awoke within giving him the opportunity he needed to 'talk' to his father.
  
Realizing his son was a mutant, and that there would be those out to kill Dale, Kevin became even more protective of his young son. He hired private tutors and gained new servants. Ones he made sure were not mutant haters. Kevin let no one near his only
child without first doing a very thorough check on them to be sure they were no threat to his son. Isolating Dale from everyone that did not meet his approval. He did this not only to protect Dale from mutant haters, but to also protect his young son from
the filth some people's minds contain. To protect Dale from the darker thoughts and feelings his son might pick up.
  
So while Kevin was making sure his son was completely sheltered and protected, he inadvertently also made Dale extremely lonely and shy. Not at all sure how to make friends or how to act around other people outside of his father and servants. Not that he got to see his father very often as Kevin was away on business most of the time.
   
As Dale's mental powers grew, and his other powers emerged with adolescence, Kevin tried on his own with his employees to teach Dale control of his abilities. He was having, perhaps, some tiny amount of success. At least in his mind. But during his travels, Kevin had recently met another woman. And while she didn't make him feel the same as his first wife had, Kevin did fall in love with her.
   
Having not wanted to upset Dale, with the idea that he might have competition for his father's attention, Kevin hadn't told his young son about the lady he was seeing.  So when he decided to marry her, Dale was completely caught off guard and unprepared for suddenly finding himself with a step-mother who was only 9 years older than him.
  
Worse, Dale knows that Kevin's new wife, Karen cares nothing for his father. That she's interest only in his father's money. But his father, thinking Dale's only jealous and scared of losing his father, has been dismissing Dale's warnings while Karen subtly tries to
drive a wedge between father and son in an attempt to get Dale cut out of his father's will.
  
It doesn't help that Karen was pretending to try and make overtures to Dale when ever Kevin might be near enough to see her 'attempts' to befriend his son. With the birth of her son by Kevin, Karen saw a way to drive a deeper wedge between father and elder son. Knowing Dale was a mutant, and knowing that the boy's other abilities were newly emerged, Karen destroyed
Matthew's bedroom. And lead Kevin to believe that Dale, in his jealousy, had used his telekinesis to do the damage done to her son's room.
  
While Kevin doubted Dale would do something like that on purpose, he believed his son may have done it by accident. Dale's telepathy had increased recently in power, and his other powers had emerged. And Dale did not have very good control over his new and strengthened abilities. Convincing Kevin that Dale needed help to learn control of his powers, Karen got her husband to agree to send Dale away to where he could learn the control he did not have. Believing he was doing right by his sons, Kevin agreed.
