Hey y'all! I jumped on the multi-character bandwagon and am bringing you David Alleyne, aka Prodigy! He's a junior and sixteen, nearly seventeen, years old. He's come to Xavier's because his power manifested and made it pretty impossible to attend a normal school. Essentially, he can absorb the knowledge and skills of the people he's physically close to, so if you're in the same room as David, your knowledge is up for grabs. The only downside is that this knowledge is gone once he's far enough away from the person he's absorbing from.
He's pretty quiet at first, but opens up pretty quickly to people he likes. And if you're nice, he'll like you. He's a fairly good judge of character and can hold grudges towards people that annoy/frustrate him. The easiest way to get on his bad side? Make fun of his powers. He's a little self-concious since they aren't very well controlled and definitely aren't flashy. And he's not so impressed with this whole "X-Men" thing. He just wants an education.
That's his bio in a nutshell, but if you want you can read the rest of it here.I'm really excited to have a new character (especially one as awesome as Prodigy!) but haven't made any solid plans for him yet. He's just trying to get used to being in a school for mutants and trying to make friends. Any thoughts or plots, don't hesitate to let me know!
