The BasicsName: Felix Billy Pemberton.
Nicknames: Fifi, although if anyone calls him it he will put them into detention, student or otherwise.
Age: 28.
Orientation: Heterosexual.
Desired Rank/Job: History teacher.
Powers: Pocket Dimensions.
Felix can put things into his Pocket Dimension, then get them out again somewhere else. His Pocket Dimension isn't very large, just big enough for a small moped or bicycle. It also takes effort to open it. The more things are in it, the harder it is to open.
He calls his Pocket Dimension Phillis.
Play By: Mathew Baynton.The DetailsHair Color: Brown.
Eye Color: Brown.
Any Piercings? Of course not.
Any Tattoos? Of course not.
Any Scars? No.
General Appearance: Felix has dark brown wavy (or would be, if it was longer) hair with big brown eyes, sitting on a slender face. The same slenderness is repeated further down, as he is rather skinny and tall. Some might call him gangly, but he doesn't really think he's tall enough. He is however, very thin, with next no muscles or fat anywhere on him. His skin is light and burns easily, but isn't as light as other people he knows.
Felix really doesn't have 'style'. Not in the conventional sense. He wears what is comfortable, which is usually a shirt and cardigan, or something similar. Even in formal occasions, he probably won't change his outfit. Maybe wear nicer shoes. Or a tie. Strangely, he has a large collection of different costumes, from an Egyptian pharaoh to Dick Turpin, the highwayman of 18th century England. He is brilliant at cosplaying.
Personality: Felix is a strange man. Among many of his peculiar traits is the habit of coming to lesson dressed as a character from the topic of study, then stay in-character for the rest of that lesson. For example, he would come as Emperor Caesar when the class was studying Ancient Rome, then threaten to let the rest of the class stone a misbehaving student. Just as an example.
Felix is a nerd. Or is he a geek? One or the other. Does that make him a dork? Anyway, he's really awkward around strangers and gets attached to fictional characters easily. He probably has more friends from books, movies or games than real life. But Felix is comfortable with his image. He doesn't really care what other people think about him, to a certain degree (he won't do anything truly humiliating, ever).
Once you get to know Felix, though, you'll find he's remarkably nice. He almost never has a bad word to say about anyone and is always willing to listen if someone has any issues or problems and they just want to talk. He tries to get on a friendly side of his students and has had a number of children come to him to talk about problems and he is fine with it. He actually prefers to listen rather than speak.Your VicesLikes:

Unfortunately, Felix's asthma meant that they coukdn't have pets in the house.HistoryFelix was born on October 2nd, on a cold, wet autumn evening in a small coastal village called Southend-on-sea, just east of London. The rain was lashing down and the thunder was grumbling. Zeus himself seemed upset at this new arrival, sending down huge bolts of lightning, lighting up the night sky. Or, at least, that's how Felix imagined it. Either way, Felix Billy Pemberton had been born.
In the next decade, Felix grew from being a tiny baby to being a slightly (only slightly) bigger preadolescent. He wasn't small as such, but was very thin, lacking both fat and muscle. People found him a weak target to pick on, especially as he wasn't the most normal kid in the year. He spent a lot of time on his own reading books and the other children just didn't seem to understand that. He was bullied quite a lot as a youngster.
When Felix was fourteen (so Year 8 at school) he noticed something strange. He woke up one day and found a strange hole hanging in the air in front of him. There was some kind of effort to keeping it open. Honestly, Felix was a bit scared. It took him a while to work out that he could put things inside. The only trouble was, he couldn't open it again, because he couldn't control it. He actually lost a French book, a Maths book and a Science book for a month the first time his Portable Dimension (although he didn't know that was its name at the time) opened.
The next few months were a blur. Some men appeared on Felix's doorstep, asking to talk to him. Apparently he was a special kind of person, a 'meta- human' and that he had to go to a special school for meta-humans as soon as possible. There was a school in Switzerland which would've been closer, but English wasn't the first language there, so his parents decided to take Felix to the Hammel Institute in Vermont. He would be staying there, like a boarding school. Honestly, he didn't like the idea.
On the first day there, it was apparent that not much would change from England. There were still bullies at Hammel and you would still get picked last for everything sport related. But there was one big change. Molly Kingsley. She was a ginger girl who sat next to him on the first day. For some reason they just seemed to be friends almost immediately. They would share inside jokes, pass notes to each other and talk about superheroes and things at break time (or recess, as the Americans called it).
Four years later and Felix was leaving Hammel. It seemed like a day ago that he had met Molls and in the time hey had known each other they had been on countless dungeon crawls, killed thousands of minions and collected millions of bubbles together. They had been to conventions and release parties and spent hours upon hours making costumes and even more time wearing them. But, possibly the most significant amount of time would be spent playing on various video games. Whether it was DOTA or Halo, Little Big Planet or Rayman Origins, they had probably stacked up a collective total of about 30,000 hours of gaming.
After Hammel, they both moved to an apartment in Vermont together, where they spent most of each day gaming. They both had gone to the same University, but were studying different things (Felix was studying History and Molly was studying Mathematics).
Cut forward six years and Felix was teaching. Aged 24, he was the youngest History teacher at the school, but he was quickly a favourite. Children of varying ages enjoyed Mr. Pemberton's strange sense of humour and ridiculous antics in class. Felix reckoned (and still reckons) that if he could inspire one person, if he could make a difference to one person, then he would be happy.Roleplay ExampleCheck out Katy Bishop or Zac Stanson, my two other characters.What About You?Name: Spagbog, Spag.
