Your Character:
Appearance: Marshall tends to be considered an attractive male, by many accounts. He is tall, slim and toned. Chin length hair frames his features perfectly, and a slight beard gives his face an edgy appearance.
His eyes are a light blue colour, tinted with flecks of white, a reminder that while through his mind he can see almost anything, he remains physically blind.
His clothing tends to be rather rag-tag, ripped jeans and dark t-shirts, though he is often seen in heavy coats.

Celeb: Jamie Strachan
Name: Marshall Johns
Codename: Radar
Age: 21
Apparent Age: 21
Date of Birth: August 19th
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Powers:
Radar has the ability to track anything with a brain function. Through concentration, he is able to pin-point his exact location or send out a psychic pulse from his position, transporting information of those within a given radius directly to his head. Through more intense concentration he can widen the radius. Days of meditation have allowed his bursts to cover continents, weeks the world, although it leaves him very weak for a period of time.
Marshall is physically blind, and therefore emits a second wave from his body continuously. Its pulse allows him to 'see' things within a given radius (a few meters normally).
If another psychic were to block his mind, he would revert to being completely blind, and therefore at a loss. People with psychic blanks are 'unseeable'.
He has recently, under the tutelage of Mentor, been able to telekinetically harden his pulses, using them as a shockwave. They are uncontrollable, but act as a good repellent to those wishing to do him physical harm.
Affiliation: New X-Men
Personality: Marshall acts like many young adults. He is loud, boisterous and enjoys childish fights. Often arguing with those around the mansion, he is, despite his outwardly loud persona, a remarkably deep and sensitive person, especially when it comes to his lack of sight. To those he likes, he is loyal and dependable, and those he loves he will do anything for.
Family:
David Johns- Father
Katie Johns- Mother
History:
Radar was born blind. While both his mother and father loved him dearly, he always felt less than human. Growing up, he, unlike normal boys, had no idea what his mother or father looked like, he couldn't read, he couldn't play hide and seek. He was, in his own mind, useless. Undertaking vast physical exertion was the only way he could 'free' himself from his blindness, and so he often ran around the garden, his parents cordoning areas off so he remained uninjured.
Despite his want to remain at home with his parents, he was sent to school, where he was bullied by most of the students. He had a good figure due to his favored past-time, but he had no knowledge of when others were present if they remained silent. He was an easy punch bag.
At the age of 13 his mutant power developed. While receiving a rigorous beating from a school bully, he felt a pulse reverberate through him, lighting up the room, enabling him to see. Better, the pulse remained, and his vision stayed. Now able to see where the punches were coming from, Marshall easily put the bully in his place, a few swift blows ending the confrontation.
His parents were a little worried when their blind child suddenly gained sight, but rather than being afraid of him, they took it as a blessing. Their boy was healed. He could see.
Over the years he practiced rigorously with his pulses, finding that no matter where he was, he knew instinctively the name of the place, and how to reach any given destination. Furthering this, he discovered that each person had a unique signature that he could lock on to and track. When focusing on that signature he could see the persons face, and when widening his pulses, where they were.
He left home at the age of 18, wanting to make his own way in the world. However, living as a mutant was hard, and he spent much of his time living on the streets, just enough money to scrape by.
Over the course of three years, he ended up traveling through America, eventually ending up in New York City. It was there he was recruited by Professor Xavier into the X-Men.
Xavier, over the course of a few months, helped Marshall personally develop his mental skills, and put a roof over his head, giving him a permanent sanctuary. In return, Marshall agreed to become a member of the X-Men, an attempt to payback Xavier for all his kindness. Xavier however asked only one thing, that he join the Californian Academy of Higher Learning, and become one of the residents. Along with Key, he was to form one of the living Cerebro units at the new mansion.
Strengths:
-His other senses are somewhat heightened due to his lack of physical sight.
-His ability to see everything in a given radius leaves him very hard to surprise and sneak up on.
-His warm nature renders him easy to get along with.
-Under Abbie's and Nathan's tutelage he has become a proficient fighter, using both 360 CQC methods and his shock waves.
-Marshall is a remarkably quick learner
Weaknesses:
-Marshall is a smoker, and has quite the addiction.
-Without his mental sight (were it to be blocked) he would be next to useless
-He struggles backing down from a fight, no matter the odds
-Marshall very rarely shares secrets, with anyone. This leaves him with much pent up emotion.
-Using his wider tracking abilities leaves him mentally drained.
RP Sample:
Darkness was all around, although he could see as well as if it were day. Peoples faces seemed a little distorted as he moved, but he had grown so used to it that it changed little. He could tell what they looked like, he could see differences in their facial features. Odd that the blind man could see better than all others in the pitch black.
He sidestepped a loving couple, holding hands and leaning upon each other, and made his way down a close by alley, his mind leading the way. He scratched a vague itch in his beard, the slight irritation annoying him.
He appeared on the other side of the main street, opening up on a large park. Crossing to it, he felt in his pockets for any remaining cigarettes he may have had. They were empty. A heavy sigh was expelled from his lips. Sleeping in a park again without cigarettes...it was going to be a long night.
