CHARACTER INFO
Name: Julio Richter, oft addressed as Rictor or Ric
Gender: male
Source: Marvel Comics
Canon point: X-Terminators (New Mutants era) (but I'm handwaving it some)
Age: 15
Colour: #38610B
Chumhandle: gritoRebelde
History:
Julio grew up in a large family in Mexico and spent a lot of time traveling with his father, a gun-runner. As such he got a lot of firsthand experience of some of the darker sides of humanity, but despite their problems his family did love each other. His life was shattered the day his father was shot down by strange man with a cybernetic arm and a glowing yellow eye. Soon after, his mutant powers began to manifest, the control (or lack of control, for a long time) of the movement of the earth itself. For a while he struggled to keep his frightening powers a secret, but he was eventually discovered, and taken hostage by a violent anti-mutant organisation simply known as The Right. He was kept as their prisoner for a long time, and then used to nearly destroy the city of San Francisco with his earthquakes before being rescued by the mutant group formerly known as the X-Men, now X-Factor. They took him in along with a few other similarly powered and homeless kids, who eventually formed their own team when X-Factor became too overwhelmed to look after them. This team, the X-Terminators, banded together with the New Mutants after the Xavier Institute was once again destroyed, and it is at this point we find our hero alone in the aircraft Ship and about to play a game that would change his life forever.
Personality:
Growing up in a culture with a strong sense of machismo, and an understanding of the need to protect himself and those around him from a young age, Julio acts like a big tough guy around even his closest friends. Any doubts or fears he squashes down, only to have them reappear as anger or aggression, sulking or brooding. He places his self-worth entirely upon his mutant abilities and his use in a fight. He's suspicious of strangers and takes a long time to trust, but he'll help you even if he doesn't like you, and once he does like or trust you he's going to stick around. If he finds himself at a loss for things to do, or helpless in the face of a challenge, he's likely to fall into a deep depression, which he is completely unequipped to deal with.
He also really loves Billy Idol.
Abilities & physical limitations:
Beyond his mutant ability to cause seismic movement, he is an accomplished brawler and speaks both English and Spanish fluently, and is fairly adept at learning other languages. He's in excellent shape, and is able-bodied.
Appearance:
(see icon, will assemble something better presently)
Notable AU differences from canon, if applicable: n/a
Strife Specibus: spikekind
Prototyping: Billy Idol poster
Title: Idol of Wave
In-game abilities: The Hero of Wave's abilities are similar to Julio's mutant powers but are not limited to movement in the earth; he may or may not uncover more uses for them as time goes on.
Planet: Land of Salt and Steep
An arid land of salt flats punctured by jagged cliffs. Its Consorts are warlike (and drum-playing) cousins to the iguana, who are incredibly taken aback by the sudden change in climate and flooding that the Denizen, Prospero, has been causing with his steamy breath. Many of the salt flats are covered over with a thin film of water, which in turn has fostered a think layer of algae; the bluffs are softened by moss and slippery on their shady faces.
RP Sample:
Ship grumbling to itself steadily brings Julio out of his state of shock, and it's only then that he looks at his hands and finds that the gun is gone, just as mysteriously appeared. There's just a small bullethole in the window where the target was hanging. That'll take some explaining. Except maybe that's not the main concern here -- the view outside the window changed, and Julio's pretty much never seen green cliffs like this before, and definitely not recently or out this window.
Billy Idol flickers by his elbow in black and white, sulky and familiar. "It's a good day for a white wedding," he sings softly.
Julio punches at him. He misses.
