xxxxxBoy Scout.

| History
|
|
xxxxxThe second-oldest (by eleven minutes) of a sprawling boisterous clan, Flicker grew up surrounded by a lot of noise and a lot of love. His parents moved the family from Idaho to Utah when he was quite young, and it was on the outskirts of Salt Lake City that he grew up. He came from a working-class family; his father was a carpenter (specializing in furniture making) and his mother was a librarian part-time. Love of books and learning was not so much /drilled/ into the children as it was just easy to /absorb/ with so much Knowledge always around for the taking. Flicker's mother took a strong interest in all their educations, and her early interest in reading to them and encouraging them to be curious gave many of his siblings a strong academic drive (for him, it didn't hurt that he was constantly in a friendly-ish rivalry with his twin sister Lily to see who could get the highest marks in school.)
xxxxxOutside of academics he was always an active child, heavily involved in sports and Scouts, fond of volunteering in a scattering of different pursuits. It was the development of his mutation the summer before high school that led his life on a starkly divergent path. His church -- the center of much of his and his family's social and support network -- was strongly outspoken about not wanting mutants in the congregation, and a combination of their own unease and the social pressure from their community led his family to kick him out of the house. He was out on the streets for a while, often targeted because his age and clear mutant status (his mutation, then, was poorly controlled) made it easy to single him out -- though his mutation also made it kind of hard to pin him /down/. He was fourteen when Prometheus picked him up and shoved him in a lab; shy of 16 when Jackson Holland's team broke him out and he joined them in their efforts.
xxxxxDespite the horror of the experience, Flicker is -- well, thankful would be the wrong word. But it was the labs that gave him the family he has today, and he wouldn't give that /up/.
xxxxxHe enrolled at Xavier's once he was back out, and after graduating (as salutatorian of his class) continued on to Columbia where he graduated in spring of 2015. Aiming for med school, now. He moonlights as an X-Man, had a gig working security at the Mendel Clinic before finding out that one of their board members was a founder of Prometheus. Is pretty glad for the downfall of Prometheus, because there are only so many limbs he has to lose.

| Powers
|
|
xxxxxIncredible reflexes, very short-range teleportation. Tends to make a lot of very short, very fast jumps in quick succession. His teleporting is hard for most human eyes to properly track; the trail of afterimages this method of transportation leaves in people's vision is what earned him his name.
|
| Skills
|
|
xxxxxGeneral nerddom. Board games, RPGs, M:tG; used to kick ass at video games but is having to relearn this with one arm. Basketball and rock climbing, same thing. Highly adept at CQC, decent enough with firearms, highly observant/attentive to his surroundings. Very proficient at carpentry/woodworking, capable when it comes to many common household repairs.
