Non-Curriculum: Music, Matthew is a musician, he lives and breathes music. He hopes to one day make it big as an artist but is content to work in a music store until such a time as he is discovered for the brilliance he is.
Education: High School level. Hopes to get into arts school perhaps in the future but hasn’t got the money together yet.
Resources : What he earns at the record store supplemented by pay outs for gigs at local night clubs and similar venues.
X-GENE MUTATION Mutant Powers: Magnitude has the ability to influence and create gravitational fields. For example he could create a gravitational field around a coffee mug and influence the gravity within that field to act upon the coffee cup making it seem as though it weighed a thousand pounds, where in fact the gravity within the field around the coffee cup simply is too heavy for human strength to resist. Similarly he could make the coffee cup as light as a feather by reducing the gravity effect.
Magnitude's ability has the potential to be useful in battle situations by using gravity to reduce the weight of any mass headed at him and thus reducing the impact. Or he could implode or explode objects by manipulating the gravity within a set field of any particular object.
As a secondary mutation Magnitude also has the ability to operate in low or high gravity situations. His genes have mutated so that he may remain unaffected by any fields he creates that encompass him, he has yet to discover if this mutation works when he is in fields created by other mutants.
Control: At present he has control enough to create regular shaped gravitational fields (e.g. Square, spherical) at a range of as small as a regular dice to as large as a refrigerator, though this standard is slowly growing larger as his familiarity and understanding of his abilities grow.
Weaknesses : Magnitudes abilities are useless in a vacuum; he cannot create gravity, merely influence it. Similarly in situations such as underwater or on a another planet where gravity is higher or lower his ability will reflect that situation, in that he would take more time and effort to influence gravity as it is at unfamiliar levels.
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILEPersonality: Magnitude is really a sensitive soul beneath his outward exterior, but he doesn't let his emotions get to him, instead he just puts them down on paper in the form of lyrics, or empresses them through his music, Though usually he just hides them behind his veneer of coolness. Due to his history with his father, Magnitude always treats the ladies right, and is something of a ladies’ man, possessing a fare amount of charm when he wants to. Magnitude is also highly competitive, he never enters a race unless he's sure he can win it, not that he always does, but he always tries to. Magnitude is also something of an Idealist. He fights for this goal and strives to it, well that and being the best rock star that ever lived, not that he isn't already.
Magnitude is also something of a party animal, he believes that life should be fun, because if it wasn't what would the point of living it be. He's a rebel who doesn't listen to his elders unless it suits him, though he does take to heart any advice his mother gives him. Magnitude has a great streak of arrogance in him that could have only stemmed from his father. He believes in himself and his abilities and nothing anyone can say can make him doubt his musical talent and his belief that he will make it big.
Demeanour: Happy go lucky
Nature: He means well, but sometimes his arrogance and selfishness get in the way
Current Affiliation: Unaffiliated as such though works for the music department of DME
Previous Affiliation: N/A
HISTORYMatthew Kyle Jackson was born October 16th 1982 to Michelle and Daniel Jackson. They were a family, right from the very beginning who struggled to make ends meet, and at times Matthew just seemed like another mouth to feed. Michelle and Daniel both worked (Michelle at a dry cleaners and Daniel at a Telephone Marketing company) so Matthew spent most of his early life in and out of day care facilities, or neighbours' homes, while his parents worked hard to get enough money for them to maintain their lifestyle.
Matt grew quickly, though the bigger he grew the more stressed his family relationships became, Matt didn’t get along with his dad, the man was a sess pit of despair, because after working at the telephone Marketing company for 10 years he still hadn’t been promoted, and didn’t think he ever would. He began drinking, and becoming violent, more than once turning his fist to his son, or his mother. Matt did everything he could to protect his mother from the monster his father had become. It was these early experiences that helped shape how Matt treats women to this day, because he had vowed to never be like his father was.
One particular night, Matt arrived home to find his mother cowering on the floor, her face tear strewn and bruised, her lip split and her eye already turning purple and swelling, Daniel’s father was nowhere to be seen, Matt hastily called the cops and the ambulance, and as soon as he knew his mother was taken care of he headed for the pub where he knew his father would be waiting. Once there he confronted his old man, standing up for himself for the first time in his life, he was 15, a below average student due mostly to his problems at home, and he blamed his father for ruining his life.
Matt remembers thinking idly that he wished his Father could implode, or just cease to exist, and he very nearly had. Matt instinctively had created a gravity force field around his father, and gravity had begun to slowly crush him. Thankfully Matt realized that he was somehow causing this and stopped before he actually killed his father. Determined that he wouldn’t be like his old man, he retrieved his mother, and the moved, finding a smaller apartment in another part of New York.
They lived there in peace for some time, years in fact before he saw his father again. Matthew was then 18 and had grown into his gangly body and with it into his mutant abilities. He wasn’t afraid of his father any more, and he told him to never come near him or his mother again. His father didn’t argue, his memory no doubt flicking back to that fateful night when Matthew first discovered what he could do.
Matthew was a troublesome child as he went through school, forever pulling pranks on the teachers and sometimes even his fellow students. He hung out with the ‘wrong crowd’ and got mixed up in drugs and drinking for some time until he was 17 and he finally found his calling. Music. From that time onwards he worked hard and followed his dream, spending his spare time writing songs and busking for extra cash. He dropped out of school as soon as he finished his high school degree in order to save up the money he needed to go to the school of the arts and study music, or maybe even catch his big break, whichever came first.
At the time the canine attacks first started Mag was in a bar in Brooklyn, He'd traveled from his apartment on the outskirts of New York earlier in the day to attend the gig. Rumour had it that a big time music producer was going to attend though much to Mag's disapointment it turned out it had been nothing but just that, a rumour. Not that it mattered terribly much he rocked the house, gaining himself a return invitation and more than a few free drinks.
It wasn't until he was on his way home that he noticed anything was up. A mutt that had no doubt slipped its leash and had been living out of garbage cans confronted him in the street. It was a sorry looking canine, little more than skin, bone and matted fur. But it stopped him all the same, this struck Mag as odd, usually such animals were more wary of humans, fearing one of there few naturally predators. The scrawny canine bared its fangs and went to strike at Mag, Mag used his abilities to subdue the animal, increasing the force of gravity upon it so he would find it as hard to lift its own paw as it would lifting a weight of 10 tons on its own.
Satisfied that the creature was no longer a threat Mag walked on by and made it back to his hotel room, as he spent the better part of the next day on a train, in a taxi and lastly on the subway he encountered no more dogs, save one which he dealt with in the same manner as the first.
Once home he thought little of it, only mentioning the strange behavior once to a co worker who then explained to him about the whole thing, saying he'd seen it on the news.
SAMPLE ROLE PLAY Matt cowered in a corner of his darkened room, listening as his father raged outside the locked door, watching as his pounding fists made the poster on the back of his door vibrate and flutter in the eddies of the air. He was really peeved this time, worse than Matt had ever seen him. Matt already bore the bruises from his father’s first attempt to take out his problems on his family, he could now only wait and hope that his mother had received his text message warning her to stay away from their New York City apartment.
Matt wasn’t going to wait here for his father to splinter his door to pieces, just so he could beat him again. It was a good thing they only lived on the first floor. Matt went to the window, and climbed out onto the outside window sill on the old building. He didn’t look down, as he knew from experience the sight of the cityscape so far below him would only make his head spin, and he needed his balance in order to pull off the climb down safely. He was already bruised enough for one night.
Matt followed the ledge along the side of the wall, and went to investigate the first of his usual 2 exit points. There was a window on this floor at the landing of the stairwell, and if it was open he could climb back inside and just use the stairs to get down to the ground, though if the window was closed, he’d have to take the drainpipe to safety.
Mat sidled along the ledge, the footing like second nature to him as he made his way along to the portal inside. He strained his eyes as he approached trying to see if the hole was filled with glass, or whether he was free to climb inside. Matt groaned quietly when he discovered that the window was indeed closed.
“Damn winter," he cursed.
Continuing his path across the ledge past the window to his last route to escape, the drainpipe. He hated taking the drainpipe, it was rusty and rickety, and he knew one of these days his weight was going to make the damn thing fall off. But none the less, right now, he’d rather a broken leg than a broken face.
Matt shimmied his way down the drainpipe, hoping idly that no one was watching him below that was the other reason he hated taking the drainpipe, he felt like such a girl, having to “shimmy” on anything. At last he reached the ground, and with it safety, Or at least, as safe as one could be wandering the streets of New York. Matt glanced up at the windows above, and wondered if his dad was still trying to make it through the door. Mentally he shrugged nah he’d probably given up by now. Matt turned from the building that was both his home and his nightmare, and walked away into the city.
