Place of Origin: Los Alamos, New Mexico
Nationality/Race:American / Caucasian
Classification/Origin of Powers: Mutant
Status: Resident
Occupation: Restaurateur/ Mercenary
Personality Profile: He is a generally kind individual, however, he has no patience for young men with easily influenced minds or flimsy moral standings. He believes Mutants are genetically superior to non-mutants and willing to fight for this belief.
Physical Description: He sports a lithe and trimmed body with hip length black hair and shaggy bangs. His hair is always pulled back into a tight and slightly rumpled pony tail. His skin tone is a light olive tan with a healthy glow. His face could be considered handsome, if it were not for the x shaped scar that crosses his face, the center under his left eye. He typically wears expensive and outright lavish suits in public to display his expensive tastes. He wears gloves whenever in public to prevent accidental power boosting incidents. He always wears a wedding band made of black stone on the proper finger. A black tattoo of a zia surrounding an atom covers his right bicep.
---------------------------------
Powerset: X-Gene manipulation, Specifically power amplification.
Ability One: Tanith can directly contact any mutant and amplify their power. The current rate is in the neighborhood of 60% additional power for that mutant, but using it at that rate of pushing himself beyond that is nearly guaranteed to render him unconscious. He can indefinitely sustain between 20-30% as long as he stays in contact and higher than that, he starts to feel physically weakened. This power can be out of his control sometimes hence why he wears the inhibitor.
Ability Two: Touch and go power amplification. He can touch a person and then let go of them, leaving them with a temporary boost to their x-gene powers. The amount of amplification is far less than ability one(Reduced by 50% for the transfer), and limited to only a few minutes. Further training will improve this.
Drawbacks & Weaknesses: Using his power is exhausting, and he requires sleep and food to recover. He is unable to amplify his own powers and he has no added strength or endurance beyond that of a healthy young man. Extreme over use of his powers could lead to coma or death.
Projected Power Growth & Development: With further training and practice he would stabilize his second power to be more effective by reducing the energy lost in transfer. He would like to train himself to a point where he can forgo the use of an inhibitor and have normal human contact. Of course, with practice comes natural increases in the ability as well.
Skills: Cooking, baking, firearms, tactical training, business accounting and management, basic medical training.
Background: Discovered his powers jointly with another mutant at his school. The other boy was a pyro kinetic and after shaking hands with Tanith, they accidentally set an apartment complex on fire. Shortly after his parents sent him to cobalt. His parents are very supportive of his mutation and it has never been an issue at home. Tanith was a student at cobalt for the last few years of high school where he met Jay, they have been married for several years and live together in California. During his last months at Cobalt and his time in California, he has worked with a small paramilitary group, functioning as a support position and medic. During one of their missions, his face was disfigured by shrapnel from a nearby explosion. He chooses not to have it healed, and considers it a mark of pride to have survived. After high-school he attended culinary school and, through Jay's financing, opened a successful chain of bakery style cafes. The locations are recognized by mutants as a non persecuting location, and he makes a point to hire mutant teens. He has returned to cobalt to work in the area and potentially take on a teaching position on campus. As well as consider business opportunities on the east coast.
