Name: John Williams
Age: 16
Grade: 11th, Junior
Gender: Male
Power: Enhanced senses, 1. X-ray vision, can see through most materials, the farther away or the denser the material, the blurrier the image behind it.
2. telescopic vision, can read a book a few hundred yards away.
3. super hearing, can hear a pin drop 100 yards away,
Weakness: has difficulty controlling his hearing, must wear a headset to help filter out background noise, claustrophobia
Physical Description: tall (6’5”), skinny, (190 lbs.), short black hair, (crew cut) brown eyes, usually wears sweatshirts and blue jeans.
Personality: Due to witnessing his Ant and Uncle‘s deaths, John is claustrophobic and paranoid. . He wants desperately to be accepted by others but has very few social skills, due to his isolated upbringing. He has little knowledge of pop culture but knows a great deal about foreign customs and languages, due to his Uncle’s belief that you must know the ways of your enemy. And his Uncle believed almost everyone was an enemy.
History: John had far from a normal childhood. His mother (Judy) worked for the government as a troubleshooter and frequently traveled, generally leaving John in the care of his Aunt (Kathy) and Uncle (Ken).
John’s father (Dimitri) was an agent of a foreign government and seduced Judy, sleeping with her to try and get her to betray her government. When this failed, he left her, not even aware that she was pregnant.
His Uncle was former Delta Force and lived in seclusion, running his home more like boot camp. John didn’t know any better and assumed this was how people lived.
One fateful day, things became much worse for John. A band of marauders descended on Ken’s compound in search of weapons and food. Kathy hid John in a cupboard. Unfortunately, the trauma of the moment caused John’s powers to begin to develop. As a result, he saw and heard perfectly well as the marauders tortured his Uncle and raped his Aunt. But he was locked in the cabinet and helpless to intervene. This resulted in John developing claustrophobia.
Judy showed up a few days later and let him out of the cabinet. Her job still preventing her from taking care of John (and having no real desire to), the offer from Dynatos to have John attend there was very welcome.
Other: Ken treated John like a soldier, thinking he needed to learn how to survive in a dangerous world. Therefore, John is a skilled fighter and has some knowledge of weapons.

Judy sighed as she shook her head. This was why she had never wanted kids. Life was complicated enough without having to worry about someone else. ‘One little mistake.’ She muttered softly as she walked forward and awkwardly placed a hand on John’s shoulder.
John heard her perfectly well, of course. Ever since that night when his powers had manifested, he heard everything. Even things he wished he didn’t. He was still trying to tune his headset to a comfortable level. He glanced up at his mother. “It’s time.” she said. John simply nodded and looked back at the compound that had been his home for most of his life. He knew he would likely never see it again. His Mother had no use for it and was selling it. Not that he would likely want to, the bad memories now outnumbered the good ones.
John clenched his fist, holding tight onto his Uncle’s dog tags, the only memento he was taking of his former life. It was time to move on. John rose to his feet and smiled at his mother. “I’m ready.” he claimed.
“Let’s go then.” Judy forced a smile in return as she turned her back on him and walked to the car. She still had a mission to complete. The sooner she dropped John off at Dynatos the quicker she could get back to it.
