Character Info

Profile

Click to expand.

Tall, blonde, perfect teeth, strong arms and a farm boy physique, this country boy plays guitar, is shy around the ladies, and occasionally his braincells ping off one another and he gets a clever idea. This lad is a bit of a himbo, but he's earnest, courageous and friendly, willing to set himself in the line of fire for others. Born from a scientific program, selected for the good odds of his powers and artificially aged to the point of naivette, Victor Carson has a lot to learn about the world around him, but looks forward to the adventure!

... now if only he wasn't being pursued by an evil shadow organization, right?

Timeline

Timeline:
2015: Project Exceptional is founded in the UK by a trio of private genetics companies with the idea of creating marketable superheroes. Marcus Feildman is the head engineer and selects what he considers exceptional subjects for selective 'donation' of materials.
2019: Feildman creates the EX process, which uses AI to select materials and process them using a patented manipulation mechanic to create DNA that is more likely to present with superpowers. The process is very genetic-component expensive and utilizes cadaver materials sourced from across the EU and Near East.
2020: The EX Process yeilds viable embryos. Each of the fouteen EX Embryos are implated in volunteer surrogates. Ten result in births, seven selected for augmentation of which five (EX-02, EX-04, EX-05, EX-09 and EX-13) are selected for continued processing -- consisting of physical training, accelerated learning and aging. Other ExSamples are discarded. The five are code-named for artifical beings - Topanga, Pinocchio, Pandora, Feathertop, and Galatea.
Early 2021: The powers present themselves as the artificially aged children reach puberty. EX-02 Topanga is capable of petrification of living flesh, and causes any living creature she comes in contact with to perish. EX-04 Pinocchio can read minds and mentally influence people to lie or move erratically to the point of puppeting their movements. EX-05 Pandora, the smallest and most frail of the five emits a chaos field around herself and can inflict or cure diseases. EX-13 Galatea's powers were not recorded, but the girl was moved to isolation from even her 'siblings', and EX-09 'Feathertop' was considered the 'Feather in the Cap' -- displaying super strength, self-flight, and heat manipulation powers along with minor involunerability. While EX-13 is placed in total isolation, EX-02 and 04 have limited contact with the outside or their two remaining 'free' siblings.
Mid 2021: Marcus Fieldman is removed from the EX Project by EX-13 Galatea. The rapid aging of the EXSamples is halted to allow for their mental capacity to catch up. Their bodies resume aging at a slowed pace.
Late 2021: Fieldman's second, Epifanio Cortez, who has connections to a compartment of HYDRA, is given command of the project. ExSamples retain their accelerated learning program. Topanga and Pinocchio begin advanced combat training to use their powers in creative and violent ways. Pandora refuses to participate in physical training regimines. Feathertop elects to participate in an altered physical program and finds that he enjoys the challenge. He sneaks books to Pandora.

Mid 2022: The ExSamples escape after EX-13 Galatea overpowers her containment, but is either brought down and destroyed or temporarily rendered powerless as the other four escape, and spread to the four winds. Feathertop, as the only one capable of sustained self-flight, acts as a distraction.
Late 2022: Feathertop makes his way to a Colorado farm, where he's hired under-the-table to help, utilizing his great strength and flight around the ranch. He adopts the name Victor -- after Frankenstein himself -- and takes the last name Carson from Kenneth Sean Carson AKA "Ken" of Mattel fame. Victor learns through the local library about interaction, growing in leaps and bounds by reading and watching movies, especially romantic comedies, about how to interact with 'actual' humans. He picks up country guitar at this time.
Early 2023: A HYDRA unit tracks Victor Carson to the ranch, and a fight breaks out. Victor's powers have evened off and become stabilized, but he ends up scorching a field in the process of fighting off HYDRA. Carson opts to flee. He works odd jobs to make cash as he travels and keeps a low profile.
Mid 2023: Victor hits the East Coast and is able to hide among other heroes and mutants concentrated here.

Personality

Click to expand.

Golden Retriever:
Victor is in general a friendly, All-American good with everyone sort of guy, presents the ability to occasionally get three braincells together for a good idea and is in general a very agreeable person -- he's been jokingly compared to the family dog while he was living in the mid west in that he's well behaved and dependable and tries not to make a mess in the house. He's genuinely curious about other people, he wants to make friends and be seen as a good guy. He wants the best for everyone and is willing to put himself in danger to protect others. He enjoys meeting others and learning about their lives, and with his lack of experience in life he can sometimes be seen as a little empty-headed or caringly referred to as a Himbo.

Himbo:
In spite of the fact that Victor appears to be in his late teens and should know basic things like 'leaving the pizza in the oven too long without turning the oven on will result in melted dough, not luke-warm pizza' and 'you cannot stick your phone to the refridgerator with a magnet against its screen, that's bad', he lacks the worldly experience to know some common sense items -- combined with his minor involnerability and his power set he's somewhat clumsy and forgetful.

Naive:
As Victor is only a few years old, and has limited experience with dealing with the ways the world actually works, he is incredibly naive. He's quick to trust, quick to defend, mostly takes others at face value and thinks the best of everyone for even a couple times after he's proven wrong. Victor tends to be agreeable to a plan even if he may have to carry the most danger -- and may not always be aware that he's in danger in someone else's plan. Or in real life. This guy has had to be pulled out of the way of combiners before.

Character Sheet

Powers

Flight:
Victor is capable of self-sustained flight of up to five hundred miles per hour (about the cruising speed of a jetliner). He wears goggles to protect his eyes and occasionally gets bugs in his teeth.

Heat Manipulation:
Victor has the ability to manipulate the heat of any solid, liquid or gas touching his skin. He can rob the ambient surrounding mass of its heat and freeze it, or super-heat it to damage or crack it. This usually results in the air changing around him with his mood by up to five degrees celcius in either direction when his mood turns to anger (gets colder) or sorrow (gets hotter) unwittingly. With concentration, Victor is able to lower the temperature to -100C or 500C, rapidly heating or cooling the air around him to cause harm to others or destroy items. He does not like doing this, and his invulnerability only goes so far to protect himself! He must be touching the object/air/mass with his bare skin to do so (for example, he would only be able to superheat the air inside his own space suit and the suit itself that he's touching, and not someone else's suit).

Invulnerability:
Victor is mildly invulnerable -- he can withstand small arms fire even at close range, most stabbing weapons will simply bruise him. This aids with his super-strength and flight abilities to help protect his insides from collapsing under the strain.

Rapid Learning:
Victor is capable of picking up new skills very quickly, due to the ExSample Accelerated Learning process. These skills become proficient over a few days and improve with more practice (knife skills for cutting vegetables, learning the chords to a new song, learning a new figure drawing process, etc). Gross physical skills are generally easier than fine motor skills, which are easier than detailed motion skills like martial arts or weapon work.

Super Strength:
Victor is capable of easily lifting and throwing up to ten tons of weight. His body is capable of handling the strain on his muscles and bone structure.

Skills

Joat:
Victor will joke that he grew up in the farm; he has a myriad of daily life skills that he's learned on the fly as he fled the ExSample program. He's a capable farm hand, short order cook, construction worker, mechanic and acoustic guitarist who can read chords and notes. He especially enjoyed lasso work on the farm, and is an excellent horseman.

Music:
Of all the skills he's picked up, music is his favorite skill to practice. He's a country guitar player and has a Golden Voice about him. He finds that occasionally playing in bars, wearing a cowboy hat and boots with a pair of rugged jeans really canmake the tips roll in -- easy enough to eat through!

Odd Jobs:
Victor works a variety of odd jobs under the table to make cash to eat. He's done everything from day work on sets of movies and shows to construction, to catering and light bartending. He happily learns new skills as much as he can in order to find work wherever he goes.

Weaknesses

Click to expand.

Constructed Human:
Being a constructed Human, Victor has a number of challenges:
Victor does not exist as a person in the United States, and cannot get identification, social security, or any job that requires these bits of information.

Victor was artificially aged and sometimes does not know the correct social function to follow, so defaults to 'extraordinarily friendly'. This sometimes leads to him being taken advantage of.

Victor is't sure if his aging is slowed, stopped, or may begin to progress to faster-than-normal aging, which would place additional ware on his body.

High Calorie Needs:
Victor's body burns calories twice as fast as a normal human, and even more when he is using his powers. He must maintain a high-energy calorie packed diet. He will starve to death faster than a normal human as his body begins to consume its stores sooner and faster.

Hunted:
All members of the ExSample program are hunted by HYDRA. Victor is loathe to put anyone in danger and has not contacted the other ExSamples since their escape out of fear that they could track him, or them, down through any communications.

Master of None:
Victor's marketable skills rarely have time to get better -- he is almost always on the move, or facing a lack of identification options (since he's technically under the age of ten, but appears to be in his late teens).

Victor faces issues with all facets of public life by not officially existing as a person.
