General Appearance: Tony isn't your average guy on looks, sure he dresses like your standard guy, but behind his shy disposition he's very attractive to some. Depends on your tastes though, of course. Tony is 6 foot and 2 inches tall, with slightly longer chocolate brown hair. His Aunt and Uncle are well-off and so Tony is always sporting brand-name threads, even though he could care less. Tony has a pretty average complexion, not pale but not tan either. With his dark brown eyes and high cheekbones most girls like his looks but find him lacking in personality (which is sadly true). He carries himself like your standard shy and nerdy kid and often carries a bag full of books and schoolwork. Sometimes you can find him with a tennis racket, sheets of music, or his skateboard tucked under his arm. But the oddest thing about Tony is that he is always wearing gloves, that is, unless he's using his power.
Personality: Insecure and a bit paranoid, Anthony Martian is a pretty average guy. Well, except that he's a meta-human and hates every minute of it. Tony has always been the guy with his nose stuffed into a book and his gaze always at his feet. Deathly shy and timid, Tony doesn't seem like a person at all. Being as shy as he is he rarely talks, the only reason people give him the time of day is because he is nice to look at. Tony is a nice guy once you get to know him, of course that takes awhile, but if your persistent he will eventually give in. Anthony doesn't have a very useful power (at least he doesn't think so) so he was bullied often and teased continuously through his childhood which probably lead to his bookworm-ish outward appearance. He also probably developed his pessimistic outlook on the world and introverted lifestyle because of not being able to fit in with the 'cooler' meta-humans. His friends are few and his enemies are even fewer, but because of a new year and a great summer overseas, he seems to have a slight smile on his face as of late.

History
Born in Lansing, Michigan in late January, Anthony was the son of Flinn and Tabitha Martin. Flinn was a big-time TV producer and Tabitha a successful marketing director. Tony was born to a good family, one who was ready for a child, and wanted another soon. Flinn was a a meta-human, a telepathic mutant who was not afraid to hide his talents. Tabitha was a mother and a good cook, she was assertive and a natural-born leader. Flinn knew that there was a possibility that Tony was a meta-human so he watched his son carefully as Tony grew up.
After a few years, Flinn and Tabitha got a puppy, a Basset Hound they dubbed Cody. Cody became Tony's best friend. Tony grew up with Tabitha watching over him, she would work from their penthouse apartment in downtown Lansing. Tabitha noticed how shy her son was as he started to grow older. Taking Anthony to school was fine after a few weeks. But for the first 2 weeks, Tony would run out the school crying because there was too many kids there and so Tabitha would have to coax him back into class many, many times.
Tony grew older and became more used to other people but he didn't socialize much. Tony began reading books during his free time. He aced school, it was a piece of cake for him. He began reading excessively during elementary school. He was at the top of his class by the time he hit 12 and then everything hit the fan. That's when Anthony's signs of being a meta-human arrived. Flinn noticed it first when Anthony would pick up something and going into a shock. He would and stock-still, eyes bigger than saucers and then would shake uncontrollably and end up on the floor. Flinn then started trying to figure out what Tony's ability was and he was unable to figure it out. Instead he bought Anthony gloves and told him not to touch anything without having them on. Tabitha finally figured it out when Tony explained what happened when he grabbed something without gloves on.
Soon there were Hammel Institute Officials at the Martin's door. And with a very assertive conversation and reassurances, Tony was packing his bags and heading off to Vermont to go to a boarding school. But the worst was soon to come. In July, Anthony's parents and 2 year old sister were on a drive home from some event for his mother's company when their car was hit by a drunk driver and pushed over a median into opposite traffic. Anthony was 14 and on a plane heading home for a small vacation and when he arrived his Aunt and Uncle were waiting. Tony's parents hadn't survived the wreck, and neither had his sister. His Uncle was his father's brother and was also a meta-human, he explained the accident and how he was going to live with them until he turned 18 and was free to do as he pleased. He took his still packed bags and headed with his relatives to West Virgina. Of course he was devastated and unable to function for a good while. But he stubbled back onto a plane and headed back to Hammel to try and live out his life and forget the grief of the accident.
Roleplay Example
A boy needed some space. Some space to himself, without people following him around and annoying the piss out of him. No Boogies to try and boss him around, no slaves to try and talk to him. They didn't want to talk to him anyway. They wanted Augusta. They wanted the white side, the good side. And the man inhabiting Augusta's mind was far from good. He was in fact, evil. Sure he did horrible things, but he did them to protect Augusta. He did them for Augusta's good. It was his job, he couldn't let anybody hurt Augy anymore.
The man inhabiting Augusta's mind, named Vasant, was walking around, trying to get away from people. People who wanted to talk to Augy, but he wasn't Augy. He had wandered into the library and was walking around. He reached into his back pocket and pulled out a bow of cigarettes. He tapped the box a couple times before pulling a stick out and placing it in his mouth as he wandered the shelves and shelves of books. He heard voices and went to investigate. He only wanted to go see because he heard Kristopher's name used, and even though he disliked the blond, he knew Augy would want to know.
