Name:
Rusty 'Rust' Kekise
Age:
18
Sex:
Male
Powers and Descriptions:
Astral Arm Rust can temporarily summon a floating ghostly arm above either of his own. This arm can stretch out and grab hold of physical objects, either bringing them to Rust or Rust to them. It can also grow in size for massive punches or a block or something similar. It mimics the movements of his arm exactly, except for the stretching and growing. It's also able to apply more strength and endure more stress than a regular human arm.
This is not without it's weakness. Whenever summoned, the arm emits a bright blue glowing light, meaning it cannot be used stealthily at all. Also, when blocking, depending on the force of the attack, the arm can be broken straight through, resulting in severe mental backlash on Rust as well as the original strike continuing through. Lastly, on occassions where Rust is angered or over emotional, the arm can sometimes summon itself without provocation and can lash out.
Personality:
Rust is generally laid back as one can be. If something's happened, it's often for a reason and what's done is done. He doesn't hold a grudge too often and is more than willing to listen out for others. He mainly jokes his way through conversations, keeping them light and easy, finding better talk comes with honey than with vinegar.
That's not to say he can't put a snark on. Being British (which comes with a +17 Racial Bonus to Sarcasticicity) helps in that aspect a lot.
However, he does have his nasty side. His main berserk buttons are unwarranted violence against women (due to being brought up by his mom, alone), continued moping/angst for attention, anything referring to his disappeared dad and (less seriously) anything that could mess with the bandanna he owns.
Appearance:
Standing at 5'11, Rust is fairly well built from his work at the mechanics and working out slightly to help increase his Arm's strength. With fairly long dark brown hair to counteract the fact his dad normally had military styled short hair, he has slight maroon tinting due to his mohter's own scarlet coloured locks.
In terms of clothing, he prefers a lot of white and light blue, white for the bandanna and blue for the Arm. However, his favourite jacket is a white sleeveless hooded top. Not good for warmth but when heading to Bermuda, it seemed ideal!
History:
Born in Britain, Cody Bryan and Julie Kekise gave birth to Rusty on May 5th. Soon after Rusty turned four, his father and mother would have a massive falling out. To the point where the police were starting to step in due to the disturbances. The arguments grew louder and more physical, up to the point where Mr Kekise struck his wife across the face. She stumbled, knocking over a heavy lamp, which fell off the counter towards the young Rusty.
As best as he could he tried to raise his arms but even then it was probably too late...if the Astral Arm hadn't kicked in. The bright blue arm knocking away the lamp saved the young boy's life but the damage had been done. His dad walked out of the house, not caring as Rust's mom hugged her son, crying into his shoulder. Even at such a young age, his life had been altered dramatically.
As he grew up, his mother managing to raise him all by herself successfully, Rust tried not to let the Astral Arm show. After all, there's always a lot of prejudice in the world for things people didn't understand. Hell, Rust didn't even understand it himself. But Julie had explained that even though it was an incredible power, he couldn't go around showing it off and thinking he was better than others. Amazingly, she didn't seem to care that her son was a 'freak'. He was her son through and through.
Even with his best efforts though, Rust was going through the stage in all teenagers lives where emotions tended to override logic. That being puberty. Easily annoyed or upset in this time, the arm sometimes flashed when he didn't want it to. And with that, came the "Mutie" chants alongside other more derogatory nicknames. Julie tried her best to keep him calm whenever he came home but one day, it got too much.
After a waterbomb exploded across his face, Rust saw red and exploded out with a hell of a right hook at the nearest bully. Aided by the Astral Arm uncontrollably. The bully flew back, jaw fully dislocated and the school was forced to step in. A fair amount of harshness was involved due to Rust's 'power' and soon, he found himself kicked out.
Luckily, Julie managed to sort out a part time job for Rust whilst they were looking for another school. Working at a mechanic's, managing to get paid for it as well, Rust found machinery and the like extremely comforting to be around. Better yet, the owner didn't seem to mind the Arm and actively encouraged him to use it to make things easier when doing jobs in the back, allowing Rust a fair degree of practice with his power. Alongside this, his knowledge of mechanical goods and repair jobs was cultivated. Pretty soon, his mom bought him a bandanna in order to cover his face when working on the underside of cars. He would then keep it on his person for life.
After a few years of this, one of the teachers from Rust's old school forwarded an email to Julie, explaining about the Solstice Academy. It would cost quite a bit, but it would allow Rust the education he never really got in the last few years of high school, whilst also introducing him to more who were like him. The mother couldn't see a downside and thanks to a recent relative bequeathing a substantial amount of money in their will, Rusty 'Rust' Kekise was off to the Bermuda Triangle.
