Joseph Morgan Jr.

[Joseph Morgan Jr.]

The Basics

Name: Joseph Morgan Jr.
Nicknames: Joey
Age: 37
Orientation: Bisexual, Homoromantic 
Desired Rank/Job: Drama Teacher
Powers: Human Morphing.
Joseph's power is that he can turn into other people. A plan and simple power that he mainly uses for teaching purposes. He finds it more effective if he can show a student how a scene should be done, if the student is seeing themselves performing it. He can turn into anyone that he can either fully see or has a full body image of. An image is more difficult, because he needs to know the height of the person. The height and body weight of the  person he is changing into dictates how long he can hold that form. 


If the person is close to his own size, then he can hold the form up to 2 hours, if not it will last about 15 minutes. Joseph does not take on the person's mannerisms, voice or abilities, just their appearance. Some of the drawbacks include, severe (muscle, bone, joint) pain; usually caused by the person being taller or shorter than he is, he can not mimic anyone with a physical ability such as wings, and he can only use his power once a day at least, most is twice. That also depends on the people he has morphed into. A smaller or larger person, would mean only once, where as someone close to or his own size could mean twice.

The Details

Hair Color: Dark Brown
Eye Color: Blue
Any Piercings? None
Any Tattoos? None
Any Scars? A few here and there, but nothing major


General Appearance: First off he is 5ft 10in tall. Joey does have some sense of style. He enjoys dressing like the fun person he is, so lots of bright colors and comfortable fabrics. Mostly it's jeans and tshirts, but he does dress a bit nicer for class. His dark brown hair is usually brushed back and kept sort of short. His dark blue eyes always seem a little sad, and at the same time like he's smiling. The hair on his face is usually kept short, but a little scraggly. He does like to look nice, but not like he's a perfectionist. 


Personality: Joey's personality is sassy, sweet and smart. He is dramatic, but tries to be only when he really needs to be; such as on stage. It does however have a tendency to leak into real life, being it on a date or just around friends. Joey will do the most random and sometimes embarrassing things, just because it felt like "the right moment" for them. Well read, is the word he would use instead of smart, he doesn't really like to put himself above others so he tries not to show this side unless it deems itself useful. Now, just because Joey would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it, doesn't mean he doesn't have a temper. In fact he can have a rather large one at times and sadly, little things can set it off. Such as a student have to repeat a line over and over despite being shown the proper way to deliver it. 

Joey hates to lose his patients with kids, so he holds it in for them. This just means he blows it off in other ways. Mostly fencing. It's an odd hobby, so he thinks, but he really enjoys it. Of course the temper isn't his only issue. He can be down right moody from time to time, because he's very hard on himself. Pushing himself to be better at everything he does, despite everyone telling him there is no need for it.

History

Growing up was pretty normal for Joey. His father was a plumber, his mom was a stay at home wife. Perfect little family in a happy little existence. Well, as perfect and happy as people with very little income could be, but still they were very happy.  At the age of 5, Joey starting  showing a flair for the theatrical. Neither his father or mother minded and in fact, they encouraged this. It brought something out in their son that just made him happy and seem to shine. When he was 11, it was discovered that he had his power while playing a game of "Mirror" with a friend. The friend was a bit scared to actually see himself staring back. It was then that Joey discovered he could turn into other people and even tried turning into his parents, but it hurt to bad. His parents were of course a little shocked, but as long as their son was happy and healthy they were happy. A few days later, a Hammel official showed up at their door and was welcome with open arms. Joey was really excited to start learning his power and to be closer to other's like him. 


Just a few weeks later Joey was settled in at Hammel and loved it. The boy had grown up only blocks away from the school and had many meta friends.  When he turned 14, his parents adopted a baby girl they named Natalie and Joey was over the moon for her.  He did everything he could for her and took her anywhere  she wanted to go. At the age of 21, life decided to throw Joseph a curve when a slightly drunken night lead to the eventual birth  of his only son Dylan. That was not the only surprise, 4 years later it was discovered that Natalie too was gifted meta. This just brought brother and sister even closer, which was good because they both suffered the lose of their father 4 years later to a heart condition and there mother a short time after. Natalie was only 16 at the time and though she was in Hammel, Joey made it his oath to look after her. So, he put his college aside for 3 years to make sure that Natalie was taken care of and could make it on her own. 

He had to take any job he could find, and it was hard at first but they managed. Eventually he found work as an orderly at a nearby Hospital. It was at this time when Joey met Van and the two hit it off. Van was even the inspiration for Joey to become a drama teacher. At the age of 33, Joey decided it was time to go back to school and enrolled himself at The University of Vermont. As things tend to change, the two realized their lives were to crazy for a relationship. So splitting up and remaining friends seemed the best option. Now 37, he's been teaching the talented young metas at Hammel (including his 16 year old son) for two years and has been loving every moment.

Almost!

Jonnay, Joey looks like he will be a great addition to the Hammel faculty, but a couple of key areas in his history need to be fleshed out.

First, you have him go to Hammel but don't say how old he was when he manifested or discuss anything about his manifestation and recruitment. Please add this in.

Second, can you talk a bit more about his post-Hammel education and job history?

Third, is he starting as the new drama teacher this term? If not, how long has he been with Hammel?

Please bump the application when you've made these changes so that staff can review it again.
