Height: 6ft
Weight: 186lbs
Eyes: Left: Hazel, Right: Red
Hair: His hair reaches to the middle of his back and is pure silver.
Distinguishing Features: Karrl has many distinguishing features. To start with there is his hair and eyes. His hair, which looks like it belongs to a man in his ‘golden years’ is in fact pure silver, and it can be clearly seen that way when in direct contact with the light of the sun. Then there are his eyes, well one of them. Where his left eye is the normal colour he has had from birth, the colour of hazel, his right eye has a very different colour and is in fact as red as the flame he controls.
Cam also has a number of tattoos covering his arm. One the upper part of the right arm he has the Aztec symbol of balance also known as Atl-Tlachinolli. On the inside of the lower part of his right arm he had a dagger running from the middle of the inside of his forearm to his wrist. This dagger was his first tattoo he got and it symbolises, that even though death has faced Karrl it has not taken him.
Usual Clothes: His main style of clothing is quite rock in appearance. He wears a pair of, black, baggy cargo pants. He also has a pair of knee high, steel-toe-capped boots, black in colour. His upper body usually has a skin tight tank-top, either black or red. He also wears a pair of black, fingerless, leather gloves. There is also his pendant which is the Aztec symbol of balance. Finally he has a leather jacket with a hood.
Combat Uniform:
Personality: This young man is a complicated one. By most standards he is quite laid back, and will not give a second thought to just chilling under a tree somewhere with his guitar and a note pad. But there is also another side to him, and this side can come out in the most random of situations, two words, Adrenalin Junky.
He loves the thrill of doing something daring to the borderline point of crazy. He has been asked on a number of occasions, after doing some of these things, if he had a death wish, and his response was always the same, what’s the point in living without taking a few risks. That pretty much sums up Karrl, but there is a third side to him which will come out now and again.
The third side he has is the side of a philosopher. When the mood takes him he can be a very deep and meaningful person, and when the time is right he might come out with a saying or two which would make most people stop to think about it. To put it simply, and in words Karrl has said before, he can go from a scatterbrain to a philosopher in 0.5 seconds.
Weaknesses: His main weakness is the fact that his powers and his emotions are linked, if his mood changes quickly in the middle of using his powers, he can lose control of them. Then there is his wild streak, if he is in this sort of mind frame he can be a danger to himself, because of his Adrenalin Junk ways.
Powers:[/b] His power is something called Thermokinesis. He had a number of abilities around this power. One of them is the fact he can bring his body temperature up to such a level he can melt solid steel with his touch. He can also control the heat in the air around him making him have the abilities to send heat waves at his opponents, and, if he adjusts it, slicing heat waves. Also, due to this he can ride the waves giving him flight for short amounts of time and distance, so it’s more like elevated jumping.
Abilities:(Different From Powers): Karrl has a number of skill to his name, the first of them is his first level green sash in North Shaolin Kung Fu, this means, he is an able hand to hand fight as well as being trained in a few different weapons, such as knives, and fans. He is also multi lingual, able to speak, German, French and Spanish. He is also slightly skilled in the art of song writing, and is a capable guitar player and singer. Finally he has a slightly above average understanding of engines, both bikes and cars, due to his father.
Weapons: He can use a number of weapons, but prefers to fight unarmed, but none the less he carries a pair of Shuang Dao, or twin broadswords, with him when he goes into a fight. They are concealed underneath his trench-coat.
History: Before he was even born his life was complicated, his parents moved to an Indian and Somailian controlled area, when they were not even of either heritage. His mother was half Italian and half Spanish, so his father said, whilst his father was half German and half English. So even before the spark of life in his was made he was going to have it rough.
He was born, and spent a good part of his life in a place called Southall, a small, but extremely rough area of Middlesex, London. His mother died giving birth to him, so he never knew her, and when he asked his father about her he rarely gave a straight answer.
His father supported them both, on his job as a motor mechanic, and Karrl pretty much grew up around engines, and because of this he learnt how to fix and build them. He was never as good as his father, but Karrl still knows his way around the bonnet of a car.
Growing up he spoke English as his first language, but because of his father growing up in Saarlouis, Saarland, Germany, he also speaks German. He did not use it outside of his family home, but he was and still is fluent in the Germanic Tongue.
He went to Primary School in Southall in the RC (Roman Catholic) School of Saint Anselm’s. Because of his mixed heritage he was bullied from the get go. He tolerated this, because it was simple name calling, and as the old saying goes, sticks and stones may break bone but words will never hurt.
But that soon changed when he hit seven. Two years into Primary School and the name calling turn to regular beatings from the older students. When his father found out, he told his son he would be sending him to learn martial arts, to help defend himself, but Karrl got to pick. After a lot of thought he picked North Shaolin Kung Fu.
He learnt quickly, but did not use it unless he had to defend himself, as his master taught him. But because of this not many of the students would pick fights with him anymore and by his last year of Primary School the bullying stopped altogether. Which was a relief for Karrl, but he still continued with Kung Fu, simply because he loved it so.
When he was eleven and was old enough, by English Educational rules, to join Secondary School he went to a place called Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School. He got in because of his good grades, plus the fact his father was a constant help at Saint Anselm’s Church, which more then likely contributed just as much as Karrl’s grades.
The first two years were actually quite nice, since the fact his heritage did not come into play here, since The Vaughan, as it is called, is in Holland Park, and not Southall. He gained a few friends in those years, and they enjoyed playing together. Karrl kept up with his good grades, and was learning quite a few new languages, including, French and Spanish. He also started to learn how to play the guitar because of his music classes.
But when he hit puberty at the age of thirteen instead of gaining a dodgy moustache he gained silver hair and one red eye. This freaked him out, and he ran straight to his father. Wayne, his father pulled him out of school for a few days trying to dye his hair, but it would not change, and to cover his eye he bought a Hazel contact lens for Karrl. Seeing that he could not do much for the hair he spoke to the school and told them due to a server deficiency of cobalamin his hair had gone grey.
When he went back to The Vaughn there was a class assembly about it, his friends did not mind, but the older students picked on him about out, and once again, the fighting commenced, but by now second level Blue Sash and was able to handle himself against any who wished to hurt him.
He was now fifteen and something happened that day that changed his social standing in the school. One of the few people who still picked fights with Karrl got a lucky punch in, straight across the side of his face, knocking out his contact lens, revealing his red eye. With that punch he had lost all but one of his friends, and even she did not openly hang out with him. The students hated and feared him, but the school itself would not expel him, for two reasons, the press, and the fact he was one of their top pupils.
Sixteen and he had finished his GCSEs, all eight of them in fact, taking, German, French, Spanish, Mathematics, English, Information Communication Technology, Modular Science and Music. He was finished for the year and was getting ready to go on to Six Form, which is the next stage of learning when a student hits sixteen.
He was on his way home; he was quite excited because his father had said they were going on a trip to his homeland. It was the first time he was going to go abroad, and couldn’t wait, but on his way home something happened that would change his life. He was confronted by the last three people who picked fights with him. After a quick scrap it would have been finished, But something happened, all the anger, all the hate, every negative emotion he had bottled up inside of him exploded with a kick, as a slicing stream of heated wind erupted from his foot and sliced the guy in half. He was so astonished by this he forgot his balance and smashed his head against the concrete knocking himself out.
When he awoke he found himself in his room, and it was already dark. After a short amount of time moving about in his room, trying to make sense of it all his door opened and his father was there, but it was not an angry look on Wayne’s face, but one of contemplation and understanding. His father wanted to talk to him.
What he heard next was something he would never forget. It turned out his father was also a mutant and he was a part of a team called The X-Men, and then there was his mother. She was a mutant as well, but what really stuck with him in the conversation was the fact to his father’s knowledge his mother was not dead, and in fact she did not want anything to do with him or his father. Anger was brewing up inside of him and him and his father fought. After a long fight Karrl won and, after grabbing his passport and some clothing, he left. He was going to find his mother.
There was also the fact he would love to make a name for himself, but he did not want to live in his father’s shadow, he knew about a few teams, but one stuck in his mind, The Teen Titans.
