Name: Quentin Gilberdyke Canon/Original: Original Alias/Codename: Scorch Age: 17 Height: 5'9 Weight: 139 lbs Place of birth: Sacramento, California Place of residence: New York Affiliations: The Brotherhood Appearance: Genshiken rip! / Get off mah back woman! Graced with natural long blonde hair, which has recently been cut up to ear/neck length. He has a strong chin and an angular face for that matter.. His top body isn’t something you could define as muscular and buff, but he’s in good shape. Very strong and muscular arms and a toned down upper body as mentioned. His everyday attire consists of jeans, a pair of black plain shoes and a sweater or a t-shirt. Note that the sleeves are always up, that way Quentin doesn’t burn away the clothing when channelling his powers. One can quickly get past the ”normal teenager” look by going into detail and taking a closer look. He has very deep blue eyes and normally small scars and cuts on his cheeks. These usually come from his training, which has turned into a daily procedure. Small scars and such also seem to appear on his hands and forearms, which is not a sign of him being Emo, but a hard worker. He has a very mischievous almost evil grin, this usually appears right before a long gloating sessions begins. His face is capable of displaying warmth and love, as well as hate and anger. It’s usually very easy to see what he thinks of you based off his facial expression. Personality: Quentin is a young boy who’s bursting with both talent and confidence. This is probably the reason why he has ended up with the Brotherhood and not at Xavier’s school for the gifted. He is very proud of being a mutant and proud of his powers. In addition to feeling superior, he can also be identified as a very angry teenager. The anger stems from his older brother whom left him alone to live out his own dreams. When it comes to using his powers out among human beings and out in public, Quentin believes that he should be allowed to use his powers whenever he wants to. Still, he’s not a complete idiot. This means that he wouldn’t just suddenly lash out against someone in broad daylight. He knows that it's best to keep a little subtlety. The old superiority feeligns are there of course. Quentin believes that all mutants are superior to humans and thus they should be ruling. Although he’s not an overly outgoing person, Quentin’s not what you could define as a loner. He knows how to enjoy a good night out with his friends and values good camaraderie. Quentin loves competition and he loves competing with other people, especially when it comes to strength. The only positive thing about this, would have to be that he’s not a poor loser. Knowing that defeat and withdrawing when he should isn’t something to be embarrassed about, he has a somewhat healthy competitive nature. As for girls and relationships Quentin is just like any other kid his age. Although he’s not desperately looking for anyone to share those romantic sunsets with, he wouldn’t mind finding a fellow mutant. The only problem would be that his options are limited, there aren’t many mutant girls that share his views on humanity. Powers: By absorbing various forms of energy Quentin can produce bio-nuclear microwave blasts. These blast can be very intense which means they are good for piercing or they can invoke explosion. His main source of energy is draining life force from other mutants or human beings, this is the easiest way to get power without having to be fired at by fellow mutants. He has discovered several different ways to use his powers, he can for example heat up his hands and burn people simply by touching them. Or he can use them in more basic ways by simply firing energy blasts at his opponents. In order to drain someone's life force Quentin needs to be in close proximity, roughly 20 feet, or make physical contact. This happens very gradually and happens very slowly. Since it takes roughly an hour or so before people might start feeling tired and worn out, it does not work well as an offensive power. He does not control this power and it happens automatically whenever he has spent his powers. It is not visible and Quentin cannot even feel the effects himself unless he has expended a lot of power and feels that he's close to passing out. More people means that he would drain less life force from each person, so he could stay hours in a crowd or classroom and no one would notice. As mention above, he can also fuel his attacks by draining energy off various forms of attacks from other mutants. So far he’s not able to absorb a lot of energy without it stopping to work. Quentin could probably absorb one of Cyclops’ blasts, but after that they would hurt him just like anyone else. So far he cannot absorb energy from electricity or telepathy/telekinesis, but he absorbs cold and heat very well. Power potential: As he ages Quentin could increase the amount of life force he absorbs from people, if he keeps on using his powers actively he should become capable of taking someone's life by adulthood through the use of his absorption powers. His blasts should naturally increase and he might become capable of projecting energy from all of his body and not just his forearms. Other skills: - Equipment: - History:Quentin was born into a somewhat normal and happy family. Two working parents who loved him a lot and a 5 years old big brother.. His parents had literally worked themselves from rags to riches. So of course they expected the same of Terry, whom was completely different from them. He was the artist kind and didn’t really care about money and such, he just wanted to work on his music and become acknowledge through it. Quentin however was almost a complete duplicate of his father. At an early age you could notice a similarity in both their behavioural pattern and in the way the spoke. Sadly Quentin wasn’t out to get his parents approval, he wanted to gain recognition from his older brother. A mission that would prove impossible in time, Terry had never wanted a little brother. Hoping that he could impress his brother by doing good in school, young Quentin devoted himself to doing great in school. Still at the age of 13 he his brother hardly spoke to him and went on with his own life, treating his little brother as a nuisance almost. Tired of all the nonsense Quentin confronted his brother about all of this and tried to understand why Terry didn’t want to bond with him. They were brothers after all, shouldn’t they be closer than anything else. Learning that his brother thought he was annoying and didn’t like him very much, Quentin lashed out and discovered his mutant powers for the first time. He felt rage building up inside of him and while throwing futile punches at his older brother, Quentin managed to fire off a stream of hot energy. The blast hit Terry across the cheek, horribly scarring him. The shock of hurting his own brother being too much for the young boy to bare, Quentin passed out. Finding their youngest son unconscious and their first born screaming in pain, their parents rushed them to the hospital. The doctors informed everyone that Terry was going to make it just fine, only that he would have to live with a huge scar on his face. Despite only wanting to make his brother proud, Quentin had managed to make them drift apart even further. The next day his parents went to the hospital to pick up Terry, sadly fate hadn’t given them a rough enough time already. They were involved in a tragic car accident and Quentin’s father passed away, his mother ended up in a coma. Terry and Quentin were forced to live on their own for several years, fortunately their parents had earned enough money for them to get by and continue their lives without having to work. Their lives were pretty simple, Terry came and went as he pleased while Quentin spent his days training his powers and doing schoolwork. When Quentin turned 17 his brother decided to hit the road and take half of their family’s money to begin a new life on Jamaica. Even though he was angry at his older brother, Quentin knew there wasn’t much he could do to make him stay. Not long after his brother left, Quentin was invited to the Brotherhood of evil mutants and he moved to New York. |
