Billy

Introduction xxxxxBilly is far from a conventional hero; though good natured he is passive and naïve and does very little to help himself. There really is no one better to represent utter, total helplessness. He’s dependent on the support of practically anyone who comes into contact with him. Still, he is industrious, humble, and blindly obedient. History xxxxxNot a mutant from birth, Billy was instead born with what one might consider a veritable catalog of allergies. Because of these delicate predispositions, much of his early youth was spent with every runny nose being treated as if it were life threatening. When the time came, he was homeschooled, as was the family’s only viable option given his special needs. His mutation began to gradually manifest itself at eleven, releasing him from much but not all of his previous medical hurdles and creating all new ones in their place. Still, because of his life up until then, his parents felt no hesitation in continuing to keep their son semi-sequestered. xxxxxBy the time he was in his later teens, his mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Billy was entrusted to the care of the Xavier School for the Gifted. There, he finished up his High School years and learned the ins-and-outs of his powers in a safe environment. He has since moved off-campus and into the city, where he’s been pursuing a degree in early childhood & elementary education in the hopes of someday returning to the school to teach. xxxxxBeing a mutant, Billy was unable to find placement at any other school to complete his mandatory year of student teaching so he has returned to Xavier's to do so. The school does not have an early education curriculum, so he was placed teaching slightly older students. Powers xxxxxBilly’s body passively produces a chemical that behaves similarly to but is not identical to a chlorine-based bleaching agent. Distributed via his bodily fluids (i.e. perspiration, mucus, blood), it has both powerful antimicrobial and whitening properties. In addition to being a sanitizer, this bleach can act as a strong, however temporary irritant to the skin, eyes or respiratory system in larger organisms. xxxxxUnder normal circumstances, Billy’s bleaching is gradual, slowly killing off bacteria in the air and on the surfaces he comes into contact with, as well as fading out any color. In stressful situations where his body would produce larger quantities of sweat for example, the effects increase to whitening almost anything instantaneously. Direct contact with a larger quantity of Billy’s bleach can cause a burning sensation to the skin and drastically lower visual acuity if affecting the eyes, capable of momentarily stunning any assailant. (Attack Range: Direct Contact / Touch) xxxxxThe only lasting or potentially lethal effects of Billy’s mutation comes from very long term exposure to him, particularly in poorly ventilated conditions. As some applications of bleach can create compounds that act as carcinogens in humans. Classes with Mr. Sharpe xxxxxNew to teaching and slightly unprepared for dealing with older pupils, Billy’s classes are either going to be the best or the worst for you. Thankfully, it’s easy enough to get one over on the still very naive young educator. He’s almost comically gullible so long as you’re nice about it or even possess a run-of-the-mill ability to lie.
